Our friend thinks lie has 1 furnished, a conclusive reply to our ei.q'iirv, l>y citing with Webster's assistance, a passage j > from Revelations, in which the plural form of \ the word does occur, as if the Good Book Imp I not often, been quoted to justify a thousand j heresies ofdoetriue and why not anomalies in ' philology. It has been indeed an ojficina yen- j tint)?, and tlic pregnant atin?ry of every comr<- j ver&iul weapon, and sometime* inflicts equal i damage upon friend and foe. Tlic Devil himself j | quotes Scripture and perhaps with equal clfcct i j as our friend, in thin instance. ; | A "ca*e in point," however, often fails to ?et i | tie a doubtful question of law : and us the j . t lea rued counsel oppugns the authoiity of ad- j : judged cases, by citing eases of equal weight, and showing where the current of authority lies ; so in the present instance, we shall quote the Scripture itself against our friend, and show thai the translators, used the singular i form of the word "people,' in the same ecusc J and in the same connection, as the plural is { used in the passage cited. In Revelations. 7 ' ehapt. 9 verse, occurs the plitase, "nil nations 1 and kindreds, and peop e and tongues,".and so | in the 11 chap. U verse, is the phrase, "people I ;t?d kindred and tongues and nations"?where j the word "people" (the singular form) is used in : , ...? ......v ov.mv, in I III- passage CIll'U lO JllS- ' tify the |>lural form. These passages are sulfieient, we lliink to justify the rejection of a term unwinranted by tlie tior>/ta Inquendi. anil dissonant and barbarous lo "eurs polite." "People" is a collective noun, including within it self the idea of plural, and taking always a plural verb; and the form ''people*" is simply a useless expletive. Hut our friend, is not content to answer simply, but- undertiikcs to proposo an interrogu > tory himself, und enquire*, whether a deeper research into philology, might not induce lis to adopt the phrase "a muss of peMso" instead of a "mess of peas" as used by us. Here our friend's authority Webster fails him ; for though that work, does give the tirst form of expression, yet it at the the same lime pronounces it "arbitrary and improper.'' And lie himself, seems to regard i: so, nnd twice in the article, in which occurs the erilicit,n, he uses the identical expression crlticitcj. He fails to adhere to his own canons of criticism fu.lniit. ting ilium to ho correct, which however, wu ' have scon are di*caidcd by his own authority Webster.") O ! Tempora ! 0 More*.
