PAINS AND HIS DETRACTORS.

(To the Kditor.)

818,-In reply to Mr Monro I havo to say there la bo difference between us on the superficial »tady sentence. What I wrotn should bave read "mußt not mean" Instead of "mußtmean", but the negative was Bomehow omitted. Of coarse no one imagined that Mr Munro Invented ttiu charges he published aßainst the character of Paine, but now that hen >ib given his authority the charges cm be investigated. His authority in "Cheettiam'H Life of Pnine a3 quoted by Bishop Mcllvaine." This authority U but second-hand, but let that rasa. Cheetham is the man with whom we nave to deal, a< d I shall here make the be6t uso I can of the »atflri*la I have before mo to present the cise. io KO6, tturo were two political parties in America, the old Kepnbllcan party, and a new one called the federalists, and bitter feeling existed between theao rival pa'tles. Palno wbb with the Republican p»r.y, and tho Federal, or Anglo-FedPral porty a3 It was also called, waa onampionod by the editor o( the " Peoplo a Friend," one Cullon, alias McOnllen. alias c;«r poi tor, whom Paine bluntly stigmatised ai a Jlliltish emltearv and imDOStor. There Tiere joxie warm paßeasres between Paine and Cnllsn, In 1807. James Uheetham. editor ol the " New York American Citizen," seems to bar c taken the place of Cullon, and attempts to write down Paine, not, that I havo coon, as to onaraotor, but to rob Paino of tho credit of originality in hlspolitioil wrltinpts.and assorting that to Looko. America was "almost wholly in debted for those political lights which con ducted It to revolution."" Paine replies that tnia ia " both libellous and false." and in anotnar place, asks "is James Cheotharn an idiot or possessed with 11 spirit of wlifal lying." In fact, Paine, who was then 69 years of age. writes against Caeotham with considerable heat and energy, and not at all lifee 8, broken-down drunkard. It is plain that Patne and Chectham were enemies, and oonaequontly that Ohoetham ■wan one of tho la^t men who should nnriertake to write tho life of Palne.bacanso In the relation in which ha had stood to Paine no ono oonld ex pect an mblasaad narrative: But this ia not all: Clheetham was fined In 250 dollara for a calumny against Mrs Eonaoviilo, and was mnloted in tho sum of 1000 dollars for libel agsinstagontloman. As to Paine's bablta, Joel Barlow writes: '- Hlb uniform oiatom when ho resided on hia faim at New Rochille, as his farmer atteßts, was to drink water at dinner, and ono common tumbler of .sweetened mm and water immediately after, and the same in tho evening. He could in fact drink, hut little ardent spirits, without showing Ita effects." But if Paine did drink oc casionally until it showed its effects, what then? Doaa that Invalidate the prln- Olples of hta "Eights of Man," or ia it a crashing reply to his "Age of Reason!' It so. then by thesune line of argument, the " West minster Confession of Faith" stands In a perilous position. For it is not the first minister of the Chncoh of Scotland who has lost his gown through drink, and many a one of them, in tho good old time? when Paine lived, tookregularily "'a gude wee arop" and said nothing against him. If it was irue aoont Paino and his drop of drink, that was not the head and front of his offending; nor was It the soeptici«in contained la his "Age of Reason." It was something more tangible and material than either. The odium wbleh scuptlolsm provokes was used asan engine to blast hia memory and condemn his ideas, but there were strong materlsl interests behind which worked the engine. The interest wore those wklch throve and fattened on tho mon- BXBhlal tyßtem of government, Itaplnnder, cor ruptlon, and toadyism. Had Paine not put his heel firmly down upon hereditary power, ox pewed orownod ruffians and imbeciles, shown howthepeoplewererobbedof their substance to katp in luxury kings, placemen, and pensioners, his delstlcal notions would bav6 been passed over as eccentricities. An unbiaesed perusal of Paines writings mnst convince that he wa» a man of plain manner, pratticai purpose, kind and philanthropic dls position, and tho open and fearless enemy of tyranny, plunder, fraud, mystery.'iovourlDisnj, and all corruption. He irrefutably demolished all arguments in favour of hereditary power, and established the principle of elective ana representative government. Ho advocated short Parliaments, so that members might often be brought iv oontaot with their constituencies. He a« vooated an income tax. Increasing in rate with increase ot income. He stood up for liberty of confidence and freedom of tho Press. He urged tho establishment of workhouseß and plaeoa of rotn«o for the poor, end 100 years ago, long before Wllberforce and his agitation, he wrote against the slavery of the Africans, and upon the subjeot of the abolition of the alave trade. Of course he made enemies. How could so thorough a re former escape that 1 But the most carious point is, that now when soolety is in the erjjoy ment of most of She privileges Paino fought for. It blindly endorses tho traditional hate of tha last and oaily part of thlß centu>y. and calls Paine a wretch. Prejudice is slow to move. It took tho name of Jesus three cen turies to emerge from obsourlty and contempt, but prejudice issnora quickly dissipated now, and Maine's will chine with considerable luntre before such a lapse of time. I was not aware "that respectable soaptios were ashamed of PaTne," but it is true that the estimation of his Intellect is not high amongst the moro ecepncal sceptics because of his Deism. Tho refined Intellectual scepticism which the prees and the pulpit now treat with deference had not in his time developed, and thongh Paine's Deism may be called oredalous and superstitious, he utanda muoh nearer to tte church than the intellectual Bceptic does. I£ Mr Monro will not allow scepticism credit for the piore taw-abi-ilng conduct of scepticß. but gives the credit to the "puie influences of Chris tianity around them," how doea he aocount for It that manj Christiana are not so au-oep tibia to these " pure inflaencea "as tho aceptipa are; and if sceptlclßm is ao Innocuous, why la there to muoh alarm expressed about it? Hut go to SKrtKtts population of »,000, a nation who" wero far advanced in civilisation when Briwns were naked natafad savages-the most peaceful and lndnst-lous ration on the Hlobe, and of whom Kdward Clcda. V.R.A.V., tnhlß "Ohildhood of Religions," writes as "the most orderly and moral people in the world and they are not Christiana. With reference to Mr Monro'a list of namea commencing with Newton, I do not see their bearing on the subject; I understand that them men have con tributed to the aeonlar welfare of man. and so have many Christian ladie3 and gentlemen in bequeathing wealth for hospitals and charitable Institution*). These are secular blessings, for which tho benefactorß deaerve muoh praise, but I fail to see any reunions point. I endorse very much the views and sentiments of Edward Clodd, that virtue and goodness have never been monopolised by any religious faith, but are to be found amongst the pro fessors of all religions. As to sceptics, 1 do not olaim that they are paragons of moral ex excellence, but only that they are equal with Chriatlatiß.andl think facts demand that this point be conceded. When, Id judging a man's opinions, we ramble from the Bubj'oe to in vestigate his character, tho aubjeot is often loet sight of.andwe land in personalities; itis there fore beat to do one thing at a time, The olr oumatanoes of MrPaine'a life briefly noted in the foregoing are from tn American edition of his poli3oal .writings, to wbiohiß prefixed a brief noMee of hia life, published by G. H. Evans. 18)7. The charges of defalcation and theft agalnat Mr Paine, published by Mr Monro, aro altogether new. None whom I have spoken to on the «übjeot oan enlighten me, nor can I find in the memoirs I have consulted the most re mote reference to euoh a chaw c. If thla charge is made on Cheetham's authority no further trouble need be taken with it.-y.ours. &o. A, CAMPBELL. 30th April,

INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED,

A FIRE, ■which there ia littie or no doubt wa3 caussd by an incendiary, happened at the "Wade yesterday morning.

It was almost completely |doafroyed Tho property belongs to the Waitemata County Council, and there ia no doubt that ita destruction was eiTected jby some evil disposed person.

Re Henry Elward Stehr (a debtor). —Mr Keetley applied for discharge The Registrar said there wero two reasons why he could not deal with the application, nnd why it should be left to be dii posed of by the Judge. The first was that the affidavit verifying the debtor's atato ment was informal, not being according to the Act, while the second was that tevoral creditors had apparently attended the moot ing who wero not included in the statement, and that no amended statement had been filed. Mr Keetley argued with a view of proving that such waa not the cuso, but eventually tho case was adjourned for tho conaiderationof the judge. In re Harry Boys Graham (a debtor.)- Mr Theo.

UNITED METHODIST FREE CHURCH.

SABBATH SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY,

The annual public tea-meeting and enter tainment was held last evening in tho Free Church and school-room, and waa largely attended. The school-room wtu pleasantly decorated with appropriate texts and seasonable adornments. An excellent tea wa» provided, of which about 200 persons partook. The following ladies presided i-rMesdames Trigg, Johnson, Parker, Tudehope, Watorhouse, and Missos Derbyshire, Pratt, Ross, and Hill, Mr S. Parker presided at the meeting, and Mr Trigg at the harmonium. The choir was successful in rendering the antheme, "Come unto Me," "Consider the Liliee," "Cry Aloud," and the hymn on "Work, for the Night Cometh," Mr S. Parker gave the opening address on the position and wants of the Sunday-school, and called upon Mr Hemingway to read the annual report, in which he stated that the manage ment of the school was under one superin tendent, one secretary, one librarian, treasurer, eleven male and six female teachers, whose percentage of attendance has been 85 per cent, an increase of 6 per cent, upon the year, but a decrease of three teachers. They had upon the scholar's register 222, conaisting of 103 boys and 119 girls. Average attendance : Morning, 96; evening, 139; shewing a slight decrease from the report of the previous year. M ore accommodation waa much noeded. The building fund has boen augmented by weekly offerings during the year, and has now reached the sum ot £520. The number of Dooks on the shelves is 451, an increase of 114 upon last year; the number of issues 1372, road by 68 sub. acribers. It was thought desirable to change our hymn-book, a change that has been much appreciated by the scholars, to that of "Songs of Love and Mercy." Singing practices have been held dnring the year, There is now a manifest improvement in the singing. The retirement of Mr G. Hemus from active duty in the school has caused regret, but his name was atill re tained on the books, and they would yet have hia sympathy and support, the balance sheet shewed receipts and ex. penditure, and a small balance in hand, The first speaker was the Rev. Mr Potter, Primitive Mothodist minister, who gave an excellent speech on -'The Relation of the Church to the Young," opening with inte resting reminiscences of his early days in this city. He then described in foroible style the relations which should exist between the church and the children. Mr Th»mas Spurgeon delivered a pleasing address on " Child-Piety." which he con aidered should be fostered at home, for without home influence and example, the teacher's work was comparatively vain. The speech, was interspersed with anecdotes of his father's early days. The third speaker was Mr James Saunders, on the "Qualifications necessary for suc cessful Sunday School teaohing." This, we understood, was Mr Saundera's fust appearance aa a public speaker, and we must honestly confess that no was eminently successful. The qualifications set forth and elaborated were: (1) Entire consecration of the heart to God's will and work; (2) a study and knowledge of the trntha of the Bible, not necessarily to the exclusion of useful literature, but the Bible should take thenrat place j (3) medi tation, whioh was essential to efficiency, and (4) daily prayer for Divine aid. The meet ing opened with prayer by Rev, Thomas Hodgson, and closed with prayer by Mr James Coupland. Votes of thanks were proposed to the ladies, singers, and speakers by Mr G. Hemus, seconded by Mr Cole, and the whole closed with the Doxology.
