Nio respecting the tobacco pollution OF
'ne General Assembly, and its connection
win the disgrace of having the highest
luoIcatory of the Presbyterian church
wandering about the streets of the Pres
b,yterlan city in search of a shelter. But
inc following article by our worthy DID,
school brother of the Pittsburgh Herald
FULLY sustains all that we said IN. Y
Euan
Report uncontradicted said that DR..
NC DowaIl, at Pittsburgh, offered his
church to The Assembly, and to meet in it
the Assembly had been called but when
met they were packed into close lecture
room, where they were threatened with
suttocation, and very few strangers indeed
! could be Accommodated at all.
{ The reasons, so far as we were inform
ed, were the abuse the house was likely TO
sustain by the number Of strangers that
attend the sessions of the Assembly, as
well as by the members themselves. This
IS no new complaint, and it is certainl y
real grievance. The manner in which
many of the clergy throw about their to-
bacco juice, and puff their cigars, is SUI
perIativeIy disgusting, and has fixed on
the clergy to a large extent, a character for
rudeness and 7ulgarity that has lessened
their dignity and their influence, and
made them reproach among the genteet
and respectable. We had supposed in
deed that these habits were confined to the
aged, at least to a great extent, but our
late trip TO the east, convinced US that the
young are not departing in this partic-
ular from the example oftheir fathers.
What a comment then is the fact that
has now occurred upon the Standing of
the ministry, that in city containing so
many Presbyterian churches, the supreme
judlcatory had to 60 begging for a house
in which 10 hold their meetings, because
the members cannot safel y be admitted to
occupy a splendid edifce-where no
building could be occupied until its floors
are covered--and where 500 of rent is
necessary to repair the injury, besides the
janitor's bill, spittoons, &c. &c. The pity
is, the innocent suffer with the guilty, in
the odlum and the expense.

A respectable grocer in this city states
that he has sold more ardent spirits and
tobacco within the last three months, than
during any similar period of time for
many years past His inference was,
that in consequence Of the di stress Of the
times men were flying to the bottle to
drown their sorrows, and to the scarcely

, cares in forgetfuness. "-N Y. Spec.
