Ktunrt RoIiIiimoii, of Kentucky. Dr. Stuart Robinson, the erainont Pres- liyterian Divine, of Kentucky, delivered a dfeemne at Greenwood Hall, Cincinnati, on TliHradajr night, on the invitation of a num ber ef eitisew, en the non-political relations of the Chureh. It wan a most able and in- ncnictive performance throughout; hut we can only find room for the subjoined ex tract, which will be found very interesting: The Christian theory i 1. That there are two divinely appointed MMiiBl ordinances befldea the . family one tiiastvil power from Ootf. Jits creator, with the wrd to protect and conserve the per' mm and property of men in society; the other the apiritual power, with the hoy as iu mymb$fftum Jem Chrixt the Mediator, that wmerMi utelf only witli man as the miner, and (mneem only his spiritual in tereU. Neither the civil power with its Hword can enforee the lawn and propagate the principle of the apiritual government; nor ohii the powor of the keys be used to en force the lawo and propagate the doctrines of the civil government. For the proof of tlii you need only refer to Christ f claim to be a king and lawgiver yet declaring: "My kingdom is not of thin world." "Who made me a judge and a divider over you?" and to the whdle'histjry of the Apostolic church. 2. The rulo of faith which is to direct the civil government in the law or nature, equal ly obligatory on all governments, whether they be Christian or Pagan. This law the teachers and jurists in Pagan nations have devclo)Hl and applied just as successfully as in Christian nations. As PoFnaruoiiF re marks, (liook second, chapter thirteen,) all Mlwit that "the law of nature may be learned from reason alone, though Itevclation throws light upon it." The ethical laws developed in "Cicero's Offices," iu his letter to his brother, on the duties of a Governor, if dili gently observed by the rulers of our country for seven years past, would have saved 119 many an outrage in rights of property and iwroeii. The heathen jurist ought to put many an American jurist, legislator, and military leader to the blush. lliwt thought ful men to-day would take the Pagan Cice no, AiusroTEit or Plato, in preference to the Koelesiasueo-political BmsciiEit, IJel iiws, and T)thor leaders who have assumed to dictate the policy of the country, as a spe cially Christian country. On the other hand the rule of faith which is to guide the spirit ual govenimcnt is the revealed word of God the statute book of the Great King, llu lew spiritual, imi-t speak what it speaks, and bo silent where it is silent. 3. It follows that political is a tennnotprc diuahle ef any right acts of the Church, nor frdmiiuiliml of any propor acts of the State. Nor oan there be any "co-ordinale juris diction. Nor can there be any mixing of the two powers. But, tie Andrew Mel vim.h stated the case, "the compounding to gether of that which God hath sundered, tends over to the corruption of all true reli gion." t The nelton of religion as an engine for the aid of the Statu is wholly pngnn in its origin and nature. In ancient times, among all Pagan nations aliko the statesmen and jurists could not conceive .of governing a nation without the agency of priests and prophets, livery war was a war of religion against religion. .livery iiattlo fought was conceived of as settling a question of theol ogy and of the relative power of the local god of the combatants. You may recall the case of the Old Testament .history of the Syrian king (1 Kings, XX. 23) who went up against" Israel with his proud array of chariots, and his thirty-two allied kings, who, while "drinking himself drunk with his princes in his tent, found his army panicked, and all his lioU slaughtered by cadi other in the fright." After the modern style he appoint- ihi a "ootuumiee on mo conuuci 01 tuo war' tp inquire into the cause of his defeat; who rextrteu as the cause of the disaster. "Their gods are the gods of the hills, therefore are they stronger than we ; but let us fight them in the plain." So tlioy proposed next year to try it again with cxactly the same force, and draw tho Israelites down to the plains, when the Syrian gods would feel more at home. Though with a shrcwdnere worthy of more modern times, this theologi- co-iniiilary committee sought to maKo a sure ease in their theology by the incidental hint "and lot us put captain ( military men) over the chariots in place of the kings, and take the kings away" (that is, the drunken political generals.) This case illus trates tho universal conception of aucient mean nations. Religion was tho grand en ginery for rilling the State. Priests and augurs were just as essential as lawyers and generals. Long ere tho Christian Pope sat iitKHi the seven hills of Jtomo, a i tar more powerful Pontifi'Mt there before him. The Pontlfet Maximum of Pagan Home, with tho college of priests and augurs, was the real (tower of the State, without whose sanction no oleotion could be hold, no important mcRMiros of the State be itdoiited. Now, the principles for which we contend are simply the principles of the Reforma tion especially iu Scotland as more fully aminciated at the era of the American Revolution by the Presbyterian and Bap tist I)ietiter in Virginia, and finally em bodied in jFFKRSoK8 aet ef 1788. These principles we find set forth in a series of memorials frotr the Old Hanover Presby tery, drawn by sndi men mWaduki, whom AVlMT has itatuortaliied as the "blind preacher," by Swrcit William Graham and Stanhoi'K Smith. From thefirst memo rial of Hanover Pr4ytery to tho Legisla ture of Virginia, 1 select the following : "Werather conceive that when our Blessed Saviour declares His Kingdom is not of this world, he renounces all deitendenre uiion Hte iower. And we are persuaded that if hwmMimI wre Jeft in the quiet possession of their inalienable rightsaml privileges, Chris tianity, as iu the days of the Apostles, would conlinHe to flourish in the greatest purity by iU own native excellence and under the all disposing providence of Gou. We would humbly represent that the only proper ob jects of oivil government are the happiness and pieteetlon of man in his present state of extotMKis; we Hennty w isie lire, liberty and property of the cittaen. "J hbw Christ hath given sufficient au thority" to Ills Church for emy lawful pwr kmo; and it is forsaking authority and jiireetian, for that of feeMe men, to ax poet or to grant the sanction of oivil law to au thome the regulation uf any Christian so ciety.' Jt wiM be eeeM at once tliat here is the re vival oT.tho aMswt Scotch testimony to the eamnJetcnesa and independence of Christ's siiWtual government, and differs only, it BK ftnu Mop in advance to tho ftrt ivrftMtoal inference from that doctrine, w'nleh Inference their peculiar eiretiiHStances prevented the SoottUii fathers from making. To perceive the connection between this Itlll and the memorials of the Presbytery it needs only that we cite asamploof Mr. Jef fhmpoxV bill. It declares, among other thing. " that the attempt to coerce the mind by civil en allies is a departure from the man of the anther of our holy religion. That the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, both civil and ecclesiastical, in this regard, lath established and maintained fahw religions over the greater Jart of the" world in all lime. That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for tho propajatloa of opinions -which he disbo iievea, is sinful and tyrannical. That to suffer tlie civil magistrate to intrudo bit powers into tho field of opinion, is a dan gerous fallacy which at once destroys all re ligious liberty. That it is time enough for the nguluil purposes ol civil government for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against jkmcc anil good order. .Such was this great disavowal the first in all history so far as known to me of all claim to extend its powers over the Church and religion by the civil gov ernment ; and the formal adoption, on the civil side, of the gscat troths enunciated by the Scotch fathers on the ecclesiastical side. The principles antagonistic to this Vir ginia theory in our country, and which have led to the present utter confusion of things political and things ecclesiastical, may be lound enunciated by the -uassacusetts iatli ers, in their mildest form, in the Constitu tion of Massacusctts of 1789, in substance thus: "Religion bcincr necessary to moralil v. and morality to liberty, therefore the State suuuiu irevmo ior me support anu propaga tion of pure relifnon." But while we ac cept the premises, we reason from it precise ly the opposite conclusion. Our argument is; pure religion being necessary to pure morality and pure morality to libertv. there fore the State should keep its dirty hands off religion that it may remain riure and un spotted; for a corrupt religion, a mere sham religion, leads to a corrupt and sham mo rality, which is worse for political purposes than open immorality. Bad as a man with no pretence to conscience is, he is yet not so dangerous a citizen as a man with a fanati cal, jterversc and devilish conscience. Bad as the drunken, kind-hearted, natural man may be, as a citizen, he is not so bad a citi zen as the canting, hypocritical man, "We would rather have the kind, honest fiHlow. Italf the time drunk, than the malignant hy pocrite, all the time sober. I speak it with no disrespect to the great and honest men of the Maullotcer. but 1 feel bound to say the very point in the theory of tne A'Hgrim fathers most eulogized in all the eulogies which have been said and sung the point which thoy maintained in the Westminister Assembly, and finally carried by tho bayonets of Oliver Cromwell, against our Scottish forefathers the point which they undertook to embody in the civilian! of the new nation in America, is a heresy fatal to the permanent imritv of Christian doctrine, and equally fatal to the permanence of civil liberty. That pointis the assertion of the revealed tcord of the Lord Christ as the primary and fundamental law of tho civil commonwealth, instead of that natural law of reason written on the hearts of all men by Goi the Creator. It is " the confounding of what Gou hath sundered, and tends to the corruption of all true re ligion." It is a heresy in Christian theology, as well as in natural ethics and common sense, to resolve, as their Principle leads men to resolve Firtl, that none but the oodlu mau rule, eeona, ml me are tlie noaiu. And the roJult of every practical attempt to en force the principles of the Gospel for sin ners, by the authority vested in magistrates for the protection of citizens, can only result in maKing a commonwealth ol lormalists, fanatics, or hypocrites. God has not vested in men authority to legislatefor and constrain the soul. It rises indepentent of them as Gadriel on the walls of heaven. And tho ain attempts could result in nothing else than a system of laws, not inaptly repre sented in the story of the ancient legislation to enfoicc carrying lights in navigating the dark, crooked streets of Boston. One Le gislature, the story goes, passed an act re quiring men to carry lanterns at night. Thcv obeyed to the letter. But the next Legisla ture had to pass " an act to amend an act for carrying lanterns, by requiring not only the lanterns, out also candles tn their lanterns." 1 hey obeyed again to the letter. But not until a third Legislature passed an "act to amend an act entitled an act to amend an act," eta, ana provide not only that the lanterns should be carried, and candles in the lanterns, but that, furthermore, the can dles theuldbe lighted, was the wiso and pious .LArgisimiirc uuic 10 guv vucsimpic uuiy uonc. The error In principle in not recognizing two governments one under the law of na ture, and the other under the revealed Word of Jesus Christ, the mediator, has continued to permeate the views of the wisest men of New England to the present day, and is tho source of most of our present troubles. Even Judge Story, on the Con stitution, maintains it is an admitted prin ciple, that it is the duty of the State to pro mote Christianity. And Mr. Webster, in his famous Girard will case speech, main tains that " Christianity is part of the law of the land." The correlative proposition of uie rignt oi me teachers ot Christianity to instruct the law-making powers, is .a vorv logical inference from this ; and no wonder, therefore, that we have preachers haran guing the people as to their duties at the ballot-box and church, courts assuming to ueciue u pon questions ot political allegiance, and treason, and sympathy with rebellion. and of voting for the wrong political candi- uaic. xiiuugiiiiui men must perceive mat our whole system of civilization lias undergone an entire revolution in its ideas; and we arc mi -l-.i--t . . grauuany supplanting the old, distinctive luerwot me Anglo-baxon civilization the house as his castle, and tho family as his lit- iio siaie, which no represents in the confed eration of families in tho Stato by the Ja cobinical ideas of the continental rcpubli- ? i .... caniHin oi men as iiorueu into a Stato as the individual unit, by tho imperial spirit of the Justinian Jaw in lieu of the burly, popular spirit of the common law. Wo have more or tho Jacobinical cry for a free nation, and less of the old Anglo-Saxon cry for a ration of freemen. The continental republicanism mud have a government whoso omniscience peers mto a man's kitchen to regulate tho uuiiiuci ui ututura mm c&uuHirus in ins not. 'PI. I lU , 1 aiiu iviigio-oaxon, wnue he reverences a government of law yet standing, in tatters though he maybe, in the door of his tattered hovel, says to his king, in the immortal words of Chatham, "The rains of heaven may pour in through the tattered thatch, and the winds of heaven mav rush in through the tattered sides, but the iving of England dare not come in without warrant of law." The continental republican theorv onntem- plates the individual man as an atom of tho great machine called the nation. The An glo-Saxon considers every man a complete machine, with a young steam engine to run it besides. The continental republican must have government that will find him work and give him bread. The Anglo-Saxon wants a government only to keep Ioarers oil. while every man finds his own work and . . . I i m . . rams ins own oreau. i ne continental re publican glorios in a nation which, as n in finite tenia each man an infinitesimal part of the unit team drags tlie car of some owerrul C.18AR to victory and glory. Tho Anglo-Saxon regards himsolt individually as Jonathan hath it, "a hull team, with a cross uog umier the wagon, to boot." Xow, nothing is plainer than that, cither from importation of these ideas, with an im mense foreign immigration, or from some other cause, tltese continental ideas arc tak ing root romdly among us. And with these ideas mwt come the notion of a religion prescribed by tho Government, after the spirit alike of the Justinian code ami ef tlie latitudinariau Yattki. Add now to this ten dency the inevitable tendency of the 2Cow England theory, from another direction, to make the State a Christian State; to make its constitution, as thoy aronow tryinc to do. a omfession of Christian faith and it is not dtnenlt to see that, in another generation, we shall liavo as thorouehlv confounded the two great institutions of Gob, which Ho hath ordained to be kept asunder, as in the Mid dle Ages. The idea of the church as the distinct spiritual commonwealth of Jesus Christ the Mediator, organised for the .sal vation of sinners, will have dropped oat of our uiirtsuanuy. Ana the idea or a Stato ordained ef Goi the Creator for the protec tion of the persons and property and tempo ral interests of men in sooiety will have dropped out of our polities.
