Patrick Gardiner of the family of Torwoodhead, by Mrs.[*] Mary Hodge of the family of Gladsmuir.

I had reason, in a former part of this communication, to charge some of the sentiments of Professor Hodge with being alike reproachful to the memory of our fathers, and pernicious to the cause of civil liberty.

An illustration of this truth is shown in the treatment of the subject by Dr. Charles Hodge on the one hand, and by Dr. James H. Thornwell on the other, as representatives, severally, of Calvinistic Augustinianism in the Presbyterian Church of the United States, in its Northern and Southern branches.

Platt began his cross-examination of poor Hodge by asking him in his most coaxing manner to describe the character and nature of the various stenches.

He is commonly known by one or two special names, derived from their qualities, as from wilful Will-fool, and Hodge from hodge-podge; all meats are alike, all are one to a fool.

"My business is with him, too," said Mr. Hodge in rather surly tones.

But what said Hodge to it all?

On reaching Watling-street, he found Doctor Hodges about to retire to rest.

The tenant farmers, the millers, the innkeepers, and every Hodge within 'the uplands' (not by any means all hills)in short, every one is a citizen of Fleeceborough.

The completest and most crushing answer to the vicious conclusions of Dr. Hodge as to the varying claims of veracity, is to be found in the explicit terms of his unvaryingly correct premises in the discussion.

No one could state the underlying principles involved in this question more clearly and explicitly than does Dr. Hodge at the outset; and it would seem from this statement that he could not be in doubt as to the issue of the discussion of this question of the ages.
