PROSPECTUS
OF
'H'Eaa FRIEND OF TEAN.


E7NER since God created man in his
IA own Image, his fundamental law has
required every man to regard every other
man Ms his equal, and to love him as he
loves his own soul. And ever since Cain
sought the favor of his Maker by preten-
Died worship, without love to lis brother,
the progeny Of Cain have dreamed them
selves religious while saying in their hearts,
Sam my brothers. keeper"
The second table engraved by the finger
Of God on Sinai, contained II solemn re-
enactment of that original law; decisive
testimony against such selfish and spurious
religion. Century after century holy M en-
were inspired to tune the harp of melody
and sweep the Tyre of prophecy, in unison
with the statutes of righteousness. Other
testimony, the iifiieth Psalm, with the first
and fifty eighth chapters OF Isaiah, may be
adduced as incidental, yet glowing spec-
mems Bnt the religion OF Cain had cor
rnpted and we'll nigh displaced the religion
of the law and the prophets, when Jesus
Christ himself appeared among men TO
'magnity and make honorable its require
meuts. For this cause his Sermon on the
Mount nniolded lis long forgotten principles
and indicated from perversion It's oft mis-
construed enactments. For this cause he
went about doing good to the bodies as
well rs TIE souls OF men, thar his followers
might initiate his example. For this cause
he pm, forth the parable of the good Samar-
itan,wlch teaches liz to be nciChbor to him
who is fallen among thieves. For this
cause he tested the religion of the rich
young man, who imagined he had kept
the law from his youth up by require
ment which sent him away sorrowful.' For
this cause he drove the extortioncrs, as
thieves, with scourge OF cords, from the
house of prayer. For this cause he de-
nounced woes upon the orthodox and high
protesting Scribes and Pharsees, whose
hypocrisy was atrcsed by their expressions.
For this cHuse he announced his fixed de-
termination TO distribute the awards of the
last Judgement upon the principle of con-
sidering the good or i'll treatment of one of
the least of his earthly brethren to be virtu-
ally the treatment of his own person.
Christianity while il remained such, was
emphaliclly the Friend of Man. Ii could
only become otherwise by n corruption
which should ext;nguisIl It's vital principle
OF equnIty and impartial love. The mys-
terry of lnquity began early 10 work. The
Apostles themselves were Sin perlS among
false brethren who 'lovCd to have the
preemnencr,' and lord il over Gods her
itagfr' In This spirit was revealed the Nan
Of Sin, who exalted himself above all that
is called God. Christianity degraded, he

ORLEANS SENATOR. We have received

ORLEANS SENATOR. We have received
several letters from leading Aniimasons in
the county Of Orleans, who were present
at the meeting at which MIR Young was
nominated for the Office of Senator. Our
friends assure us that due precaution was
taken, previously to the nomination, to
ascertain definitely Mr. Young's views on
masonry that committee of tried anti
rnasons had IN interview with him on
this subject, and were entirely satisfied
from his own assurances, that he had long
since, discontinued his connexion with the
institution; that he moreover ex.
pressed the hope "that il might never again
enter the Suite in which he resided -
This information comes from men person
ally known to us, and whose characters for
are unquestioned. With the
nomination as now explained, we doubt
not all our friends will he satisfied. Mr.
Young possesses high qualification MS II
practical legislator and if elected to the
Senate Board, as we trust he will be, lie
would discharge the responsibilities Of the
Office to the satisfaction of all concerned.

most drSer"rdy cclo bIatcd literary publica-
lions, says Of this work -"rhis is one of the
most judicious and practic1I books Tor a pri--
mary school, we haveyct seen. The Geo:

chapter on natural history will furnish much

MR. VAN buren, AND TIE CATH
OLlCS.

A correspondence has been got up be-
tween MIR Casey member OF Congress
from Illinois and Mr. Vanderpoe of New
York, relative to Mr. Van Buren's religion
II assumes that Mr. Van Buren, has been
charged with being Roman Catholic, and
proceeds very gravely TO deny the charge.
Mr. Van Buren's friends are irving 10 make
up false issue in the case that is, wheth-
er he ~ Roman Cathoic-and then dis
proving what nobody has ever asserted
The truth is, If he were really Roman
Catholic, he would stand much fairer in
regard 20 this matter than he now does;
because, then, his flauery Of the Pope might
have been regarded as sincere. But us it
is, the very dsproof of his Romonsm only
involves him deeper in the guilt which it
las been attempted to fasten on hini-that
Of hypocri,icalIy flattering "His Holiness"
from no motive of religious zeal, bur for
the base purpose of enIis;ing religious big
otry in his support.

DEATH OLE MADISON.

This great and estimable man is no more THE
Sage OF Monticello is gone He died on the
morning OF Tuesday, the 18th of June, aged eighty
tive yeara. lie was born on the 18th Of March
1851. His end, vsibly approaching for some days
before, was such as that of a good and great mau
ought to be. His faculties undlmmed ill his latest
hours, he expired without q struggle. free from
pain Tree from regret, and from cause Of reproach'
The National inlellinencer appropriately observes,
that "thc last Of the great lights OF ;he Revolution,
the brightest ol those great minds which, like the
pillar Ut fire al old conducted the American Israel
thro the trials of the scarcely less important era
following the Revolution, and gave to hs country
the repoSe, security, and happiness Of a wise, iegu
lar stable, and consolidated Government; this
pure and beautiful and benign light has at last sunk
be low the horizon, and is Vueuched forever In this
world. Glorious Indeed has been its long course,
and though no more to be seen it has left radiance
in the armament at which his country will long
gaze with admiration and gratitude For more
than thirty years, the naue OF JAMES MADISON
has more than thai of any other living man, been
associated in the mind OF United America, with
the principles ard the fabric of our Government -
He was the principal architect in its construction,
he did not lay lis corner stone lie lived to see
endure many trials survive great dangers, and to
promise endurance for ages
President Jackson has issued the usual orders 10
the Army and Navy, which are observed in com.
memoration Of the death Of our great and good
men; and has also officially communicated the
same information Ia Congress Mr. Adams, in the

MIR BARBER AND MIR HALLETT.

As these two gentlemen have taken a
leading part in attempting to transfer the
Aniimasons of New England over to Van
Buren,, it may not be amiss to recur TO their
former opinions, by way of showing off
their consistency.
In 1882. as Editor OF the Mddlrbury

The fact is that the whole policy of Van

Postmaster General, aud the faithful in
both Houses of Congress, for the last eight
months hus been to sustain the slavery pol
icy and conciliate slave support. To find
Northern men doing this us n matter of
