mr.. q. A. BrOwnson's second Lecture, Last
Evening, at Clintoni Hall.

The subject of this Lecture, as given out, was
Modern Civilization Its elements influence Of
Religion ard Philosophy in advancing it.
The Lecture was delivered to an audience OF
about one hundred and fifty gentlemen, and some
twelve or fifteen ladies'. 1t was very curious al
fair II was sort o pious, and a sort O. not pous
but rather sort O. not, than sort o. He commenced
by some very enlightened remarks about the three
orders oil clvzatlon-to wit first, the Sacerdotal
second, the Political third, the Christian.
All civilization began in the savage state. The do
minant idea ia the Political order is the state
Rome realized the idea of the Political state in its
fullest perfection Judea of Sacerdetal. These two
however, were not sufficient for man. The Sarce-
dotal brings out the religious principle the Poli-
cal brings out the social order; but it requires the
Christian to bring out the individual rights, and in
dividuai liberty. Children must be taught TO obey.
The Savage is a ull grcwn infant The Priest Is
the only person who subdue the Savage, and
teach him TO obey. la the conaexion, Mr.. T.
explained what ne meant by saying that slavery is
the first step towards civilization. The Prize I fits
the Savage for the social state.
In the next place the Lecturer proceeded to dis
cuss the influence which Religion and Philosophy
have In advancing civilization. Religion and Phi.
iosophy he SAID were identical. Then followed
series OF remarks, which some of the audience
thought somewhat metaphysical, abstract, abstruse,
and even transcendenia; but for our part we
thought them as clear as mud. They excited en-
thusastic applause, especially the closing remark
when the learned philosopher expressed his hopes
oil yet seeing religion come in Wall street.
Some one OF the audience remarked that his
hopes were certainly we'll founded, for there was
prayer meeting held in that street every day some
where in the vicinity of number 49, Another pro-
posed to send the lecurerinto Wall street, as mis-
slonary TO try his hand at converting the natives 1t
was also said by some one, after the lecture that the
the Beard lists 1t may be expected, however, that
as soon as It arrives at premium, the knowing sim
ners will sell out. Such is the progress of cviliza
ton.

Correspondence of the Herald

ALBANY, January IS 1872.
JAMES M. WENDELL was, on Thursday evening
last, elected by the Board of Regents, Chancellor of
the University, in place of JAMES KING, deceased
LUTHER BRADIsH was at the same time elected Vice
Chancellor. Both elections were unanimous, and
as such may be considered highly honorable to the
two gentlemen thus selected.
Maj. DAvEzAc delivered his long looked for speech
to-day, to crowded auditory. There were more
ladies present than ever remember to have seen
in the House before. The Majors bursts of enthu-
slasm, as he became wrought up by the theme, was
responded to with loud applause from the galleries
and lobbies, which it was impossible for the Speak
er'smaet to control. The speech was most glow
ing description of that glorious event, which filled
the measure of our country's glory-the battle of
New Orleans. Never before has an audience
listened to such vivid and eloquent description of
that memorable event, rendered douby interesting
from the fact that one of the most prominent actors
in it, the only one, with single exception of Jack
sons Aids now surviving, was. Zenophon like, him.
self the historian. Recounting, as he did in so gla-
phc and forcibe a manner, the scenes attendant ON
that memorable day-describing the noble and gal
liant COMMUNICATIVE city overwhelmed with con-
sternatlon and alarm, and the city again overcome
crown of laures bestowed by the lsveliest of the
ladles-the cheers and welcome of the grateful and
joyant people Then came the contrast of the ar.
rest and fine, and his nobleness of character as
evinced in his nterposal between his cowardy iu.
dlcia assaant, and the justly aroused popular
wrath. The resolutions will, | should Judge from
the indications to-day, be adopted by acclamation
Besides this, there was little of Importance done
in either house. In the Senate, debate was had
On the resolutions in relation to the public faith but
the further consideration of them was postponed
until tomorrow
A long debate also ensued on the bill to change
the mode of appointing Bank Commissioners, and to
reduce the number thereof, but without taking the
question, the Committee rose and reported.
The Adutant Generals and the Treasurer's re.
ports were sent in to-day. The Comptroller's re-
port is at last printed. 1t is unusually long-making
some $50 pages.
In the Assembly, Mr.. MAcLAy presented petition
from the butchers Of Washington Market, praying
for the recharlerlng of the North River Bank The
report OF the Commissioners of the Canal Fund was
also received.

Congress.


The proceedings Of the Senate on Tuesday are re-
markable only for declaration made by Mr.. More
head, Mr. Clay's colleague from Kentucky, of his
unwilling submission to the instruction Of his State
Legislature to vote for the repeal of the Bankrupt
Law, and an ineligible intimation that Mr.. Clay
stands elevated to the position of the nations repre-
sentative and is to be confined in his responsi
bllty 10 State. Thisis an important declaration,
and doubtless Mr.. Clay will resign ais seat on the
open consummation of his dlsobedience to his I'M
mediate constituents The States in whose cause
he suffers political martyrdom will then, IN COM
mon gratitude, canonize the ilustrious victim, and
embalm him until the next Presidential contest,
when he will rise again to receive the alteration OF
an increased host of devout worshippers.
The House of Representatives was occupied the
entire day with the presentation OF petitions many
of which were on the subjects OF Abolition and the
Bankrupt Law BY majority of 50 to 50 the House
referred q memorial on the latter subject, to the
committee the Judiciary, with Instructions to en-
qure into the expedency of reporting bill to estab
lish uniform system Of Bankruptcy, free from the
imperfections and deficiencies of the law OF the Ex
ira Session. 1t is possible that the House may take
up new bill and hurry it through, to meet the
wishes fhe large class of society, which while ii is
opposed to the existne law, yet desires system of
Bankruptcy for the relief of the honest debtor 1t
must, however, be observed that the House had
very thin attendance when the instructions were
passed.

the Executive. II veto can ever be justified on
other than constitutional grounds, and no sane man
will have the hardhood to- deny it, this is an in
stance of the kind. In fact, the dignity of the CO.
vernment, dependent as it is to some extent on the
stability and permanence of legislation, calls loudly
ly for the inierpostion of the Executive to arrest
the headlong and capricious course OF Congress.
AS to the policy of the veto, in the case under
consideration, the beneficial consequences of such
act to President Tyler, both immediate and re-
mote, are so obvious as scarcely to need one word
by way of proof or illustration. We are well
aware that this view of the matter will have small
weight with Mr.. Tyler, but to mere politicians,
who are prone to calculate all the chances, this is
the most interesting aspect in which the thing
be considered. BY "a veto he loses nothing The
States most solicitous for repeal OF the Bankrupt
Law, Kentucky, Tennessee, &c. are pledged
against his administration already. They want a
national bank, from which they can borrow money,
and will never forgive Mr.. Tyler for thwarting their
hopes. From those States therefore, which are
most interested in the repeal he has nothing to ex
pect under any circumstances He loses nsthing in
any quarter. But what does he gain ? He rallies
