MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER . Dover , July 1 , 1851 . k"V—Thanking Dr . "Lees moHt heartily for his » na mid prompt reply , I will , with your pcrmiusion , proceed to mnkc n few rcmnrkH upon it lor Inn con' < J » 'rution . In the firat inHtiuico , however , venturing 11 nope tluit my previoua letter ( at well ub the present ° <•)» will be found to contain not ho much of im >» sume < l interpretation of Scripture ub of a real H wureh for interpretation . ] ' . v * t- xv *» - 0 , doea appear to mo to regartl the eiationshi p by mamago most distinctly ; for do wo « ot rend in the 14 th , 15 th , tmd 10 th of tho second
chapter that a man shall not form an alliance with his urn-le ' s , his son ' s , or his brother ' s wife ( meaning also , of course , their widows ) ? and if so , is he hot clearly forbidden to cohabit with those who have no consanguinity with him , but merely affinity ? It would seem from the 17 th verse that a wife's relatives ( or at all events a woman ' s ) are somewhat " equivalent to one ' s own kin , " or wherefore the interdiction against a man ' s taking a woman and her daughter ? And for what particular reason can we say that he may take her sister ? The latter is as nearly his sister as the former his daughter , I should imagine .
Evidently " a natural objection to marriage with one near of kin ' is none whatever to one ' allied ; ' " and if there exist no objection to one simply allied , a man may surely marry his brother ' s widow , who is not related to him by blood ; but in that case he would act in direct opposition to scriptural authority ; or , if there be objection , then it must extend to the wife ' s sister . My acceptation of " They twain , " &c , in the face
of Dr . Lees ' s lucid explanation , falls to the ground at once ; but admitting , by rational deduction , that ** marriage does not literally make man and wife one flesh—that there can be no interfusion of nature , " I cannot yet see how , by the same reasoning , the justice of a prohibition , affecting the uncle ' s , son ' s , and brother's wives , or widows only , can be established , seeing that they must be included in the admission . I mean , that they gain no more of our blood by marriage than we do of our wife ' s sister ' s .
*• Christ teaches that a man might put away his wife , and marry again , without committing adultery . " Yes ; and have not our Christian laws recognized the woman ' s right to marry again when she has been divorced ? If the tie is dissolved , it certainly releases both parties ; thus proving that thenceforth they are to be equally strangers to each other . From the above quotation I gather that a man may "join in holy bands " with his sister-in-law before his wife ' s death quite as consistently as after ! Is it so ?
I think still , if we adopt the Bible regulation with reference to the brother ' s widow , and wish at the same time to be at all reasonable , we must conclude that the wife ' s sister is quite as certainly concerned in that law ; for , physiologically , their appears no material difference in their cases . But if , on the contrary , we advocate the proposed measure , because it would involve no violation of nature , or morality , then , I apprehend , we shall likewise acknowledge the justice of the claim of the brother's widow to a participation in its privileges ; the difficulty being , that in making such an extension we reject a traditional distinction for a true identity .
If the Jews did not put a prostitute to death , who , in her loathsome avocation , received the patronage of two brothers , I seo further cause why a man may marry his brother ' s widow ; but that does not affect the present discussion . Faithfully 5 'ours , KlCltAltD FllIENI ) .

WAR . Momcs to Mart . " Thy sword within the scabbard keep , And let mankind agree ; Better the world were fast asleep , Than kept awake by thee . The fools are only thinner , With all our cost and care , But neither side a winner , For things are as they were . " Drydbn ' s Secular Matk . Liverpool , July 1 , 1851 . Sir , —The only mistake , here , of Dryden is in his affirming that , at the conclusion of any war , " things are as they were . " At the termination of every war that England has waged with any of the Continental powers , her national debt , since its commencement , has been increased , until , in the last struggle of our aristocracy , in aiding to force back a legitimate monarch upon the French throne , it was rendered so enormous , such a <( millstone round the neck of this nation , " that nothing but a bankruptcy of its Government can ever again free its industrious millions from a load of taxation daily becoming more intolerable . Every reflecting man that has read history , must be well aware that war has ever had an inevitable effect of inducing and extending slavery ; and that not only the vanquished are reduced to this state by war , but the conquerors , too , by the addition necessarily made to the number and power of their princes . The peace society , with Cobden as one of its leaders , is now laudably exerting itself for the promotion of itR assignee ) object . But how long would Emperors , Kinjrs , and Princes , exist in Europe , were all their military forces disbanded ? Common sense might reply , " A very short time only ! " And why do all the potentates of Europe keep up such large standing armies ? Knavery answers , F . > r the preservation of the " balance of power ; " and for the protection of the rightn of one people against aggressions from another ! But Truth , if * he dared speak out , would nay , Solely for the maintaining of what are impiously called the divine rights of a few familie s that is , their hereditary cluims to farm nations as their individual properties . And for no oth- r than the name reasons all nations are cunningly kept jealous and fearful of each other through the arts of their selfish rulers , who at the same time foment certain discords even amongst their own subjects . Thus Catholicism and Protestantism , Whiggism and Toryinm , have for centuries served the purposes of despotism under its various guises in different countries . For the present , our national debt has rivettcd the chains of England ! i ' or every man , every working-man in thin country , 1- now obliged to yield up more than hidf , if not three-1 Mirt . hu , or live-sixths , of the proceeds of hit * industry to lna rulers , to pay the interest of the national debt ! « uVbt which the aristocracy of birth or wealth alone contracted , and who alone derive any advuntage from its e xistence . But beiter times for the industrious are looming lurgel y in the distance ! A Continental democratic union 1 H not an impossibility nora chimocra ; it iayearly , «» ot hourly , uppronching to u consummation I eac e , Unity , and Peraeverance ! Yours , Video
