New observation-disclosures Of Literature,
Lectures and Inidelity.
Daring the Coming winter, more talent genius,
and originality will be displayed in the various
courses of lectures-and the several subjects OF
science, literature religion and philosophy, than
ever this country beheld in tho period of time.
The number Of lectures and lecturers announced in
Boston, New York, and other large cities, is i'm
mcuse-numerous the sands OF Nahanet or
Roekaway 1t seems that fresh spirit has been
developed at the present dsy-a new age is openg-
iug from the east-and startling revolution is
coming down FROM heaven, or coming up from some
other place, upon all and every one, around and
about the world.
la order to meet the taste of the times, we have
made arrangements to give fall and accurate reports
OF all important lectures every ssbjsct, during
the ensuing winter-and from what we have already
doae in the way of reporting, the public tell
what they may expect from our promises. Ycstsr-
day we gave readers the first specimen in the
report Of the extraordinary lecture delivered at
the Tabernacle, by the venerable Ex-President
Adams. In accuracy, fullness, comprehensiveness
and brevity combined, we believe il is better than
the original lecture OF the author with all its da
sion Of robe and doubiet, or its length of limb, and
leather brooches.
We shall continue these reports-and dev elope the
elements of Of the greatest moral, intellectual,
aod religious revolutions going on IN the coun-
try, that yet astonshed world. In the recent
political contest, it is well known that one party
charged the other with inGdelity and irreligion-
with hostility to the present systems Of Christianity.
la our reading of the signs OF the times we are firm
a. L. k.th III -
raen Of all sorts, engaged in destroy ing all
the prime elements of Christanity-in revolution
iziag the whole system Of faith and morals which
have prevailed in Europe for eighteen centuries,
axd in Anglo-America for two centuries. II is al
most a matter Of every day fact that great proper
tion Of the intellectual classes Of the present times,
comprising lawyers, physicians editors, and nearly
half Of the clergy do not believe in the Christian
religion and are, to all intents and purposes, inf
dels. Go into the churches-hear the services
listsa TO the public speakers-watch the progress
OF lyceums, lectures, libraries and all ntellec tual
7vements Of all kinds and this conclusion is ire
sistibly forced upoa the independent mind.
AS we are free and independent--and can afford to
tel the trsth-the whole truth and nothing but the
truth shall watch the progress of this extraordi-
nary Intellectual movement, which is now in {" mid
career" and which win stop till every ves,ige Of
church be converted into mere lyceum or lecture
room, and every clergyman the lecturer, on matters
ad things in general while the organ and the choir
regale the eloquent and classical infaels male and
fessale, with of tae choicest Italian music of
the age.

why Moses II. Grinneli received a higher vote than
General Harrison in this city; but, instead Of ae-

Ike hshmenger or common backyard. Does he
kaow that the large vote given to Mr. Grnnell came
from the pilots and the New York Heraldl But
