 SrR-ia my former address to you,

 I endeayored 10 bring conviction, even

 10 your own mind, that you had been

 guilty of base iBgratituae and deep veil 1 ed hyprocrisy towards RoBERT CRIT

 rENDHN, and that his treatment of you

 was justly merited. ] am unwilling 10

 think yon so utterly destitute oi q moral

 sense of right and wrong, asnot to yield

 your assent to the truth of the charge made ihzthat communication, and am

 willing to believe that if you were at

 liberty 10 act on the impulse of your

 own feelings, that you would, ere this,

 have confessed your sin, and sought the

 forgiveness oi him whom you have treat

 cd so unchristianly. But nnhappiy

 for yourself, youare not your ozvr uadla--

 you have been bought ssitha price, and

 belong wholly unto them who have paid he redemption Tor you. As their

 property, you are bound to yield obe-

 dience 10 Meir will, however repugnant

 10 your own sense of rectitude. Your own sense of what would be course of

 conduct correspondent with your stand 1 ing in society as q minister of the

 Gospel, would teach you, forgiveness

 of injuries. Now, if Mr. Crittenden had really done you an injury, (which l deny his having done. in writing you the letter abeat which you are raising such

 hue and cry, your duty is plainly pointed out. Ere you had right to

 look for forgiveness from your Lord and

 Master for your manifold transgres-

 sions, you were primarily bound to for

 give any who might have trespassed

 against you. This vas your dnty; in

 common with all christians; but much

 more was t your duty as a preacher of

 the gospel With what propriety could

 yoa, as q preacher of righteousness, in

 weigh against hatred, malice, az C., and

 hold up the divine doctrine Of forgive ness of injuries, Uliiie malice WIS rank ling in yoa1 own breast against an ildi- vIdtlai who had done you mHeHkindness and had never done you injury; for, give to the letter its broadcst construction. and il does you no injury; 1t only tells 1 yon. tbaf. as YOU had played falscig fo- 1 ""'a9 h!tis dil future intercourse m0Sf | ccase. Now what injury did titis do unto you2 None other than to denyixo you of that home, which you had lon6 e9oyed, and in the enjoyment of which

 you were iG'lay;ag tic j.aitsoi at, 4ynoid md ot a Judas. If you sustained ni0.

 y It was injury ofyouf own nsonldjng.
