that, atom Mr. IIHl has sided with the

the weeping for joy has changed to

1IIL1. ON THU RESIGN.
A large part of the Ureas of the State
are sorely exercised over the position of
Mr. Hill on the financial question.
Smiie have gone to the extent of advis
ing the people to call on him to resign
hia position in the Senate, and to allow
them to refill his place with one who is
more in accord with their views.
We have an impression that Mr. IIill
would give but little attention to such a
manifestation of public disapprobation of
his course. “Wrapped in the robe of his
own originality” lie will look down

itching for notoriety, causes him often
to say things unwise,and sometimes to do
things wicked, has lately brought him¬
self very much into notice l>y uttering
with his accustomed dogmatism, a pro
Bunciamento against the doctrine of
endless punishment. It is by no means
his first, nor indeed his most flagrant
departure from the creed of the orthodox ;

with what many would like to lalieve.
He that as it tnay, certainly no utterance
has lately awakened more discussion
from Press and Pulpit, and if notoriety
were the end sought, the reverend gen
tleman has abundant reason to feel
gratified. .... ,
in our opinion, this discussion is to
n great extent vain, and in so far as it is
vain very foolish. Practically, we have
nothing to do with the question whether
or not there be a state of future punish
ment, or whether that state, shall be
limited or eternal. It has pleased the

Obedience to this law is essential to our

But it tnay bo urged that hope and

of these motives, hut wo insist that they
