Chrisiianity and Democracy.

We copy from the Boston Morning
Post, the following extract from the Rev
MIR. Gannett's Election sermon before the
Massachusetts Legislature
"Where did our fathers learn that mer
were 'born free and equal" From the
religion of the New Testament, for cen.
tnries sealed book, and from whose
truths when opened, the darkness of ages
uiu but slowly disappear. Equal : not
tree only-ihis latter word might seem
10 be used with some hcence of speech
out e2ual, in the essential gifts and pur-
poses OF existence. Christianity by ad.
dressing the common nature and unfolding
the immortal destiny of mankind, has
shown broad ground, on which all may
meet and lift up the chorus Of united
and acknowledged brotherhood. The
trainers of our Declaration of lndepend-
encc thought they were procaimng a
political axiom, when they rcpublished
one of the great revelations of the Gospel,
the full meaning of which can be learned
only through sympathy with him who
came to save the lost and reconcile the
estranged. 1.-The common people," it is
said, "heard him gladly" And the PEG.
pie, it is, who should welcome his reli-
glon, which condemns the selfshuess
alike of the tyrant AID of the demagogue,
and rebukes at once the arrogance Of an
arlstocratlc and the me3nncss of seryile
spirit by its pregnant charge to "honor
all men, All men? What, of every
class and condition? Yes, hear it, We
nobility, and you, the starving millions of
Britain. Hear it, ye rulers, and We de-
lrauded and oppressed subjects of Cont
mental Europe. Aye, hear it, We nations
of the East, where first the blessed words
were spoken, though long since buried in
oblivion. Words Of righteous and joyful
import to those to whom false opinion
and unjust Institutions have denied the
place, which By the will Of their Creator
they arc entitled to understanding erect
by the side of their fellow men, and not
crouching submissivcly at the feet which
tramplc or spurn them. Alas how few
yet comprehend the law, ON which the
morality Of every Christian believer,
should be built - "'Thou shalt love thy
neighbour" be he who he may, thou shalt
love ''as thyscl!"

1t won't do to do great many things
in this world, for instance -
1t won't do to talk about horn nnts
and wooden nutmcgs when there are
Connecticut Yankees about.
1t won't do to eat soup with two
prongcd fork, or roast beef with spoon,
when anxious to dine in great haste.
1t won't do to pull mans nose until
you are fully satisfied he has not spunk
enough to resent it by blowing your
brains out.
1t won't do for lady to presume that
every man is in love with her who treats
her civilly.
1t won't do for man to suppose that
more than half the young ladies who toll
crate his attentions have any notion Of
marrying him.
1t won't do Tor man to bump his
head against stone wall, unless he i:
completely convinced his head is tho
hardest.
1t won't do to imagine Legislature
will compel the banks to resume, when
threc-lourths of the members are among
those who will suffer the most, if iorcet
TO pay their debts instanter.

A very interesting incident took place
in the Louisiana Legislature, at New Or
leans, few days ago. On the asscmb-
ling OF the two houses in convention, for
the election OF a Brigadcr-G General, Il. NJ.
Wadsworth WIS put in nomination. One
oil the members nominated, as an opposing
candidate, Judge Leonard. Mr. Wads-
worth, who is member, stated his be-
lief that Judge Leonard did not wish the
Office; and that he, from gratitude to
Judge Leonard, who had been his friend
i'll adversely, would not be candidate if
he thought that the Judge would accept
the Office. Several ballots took place
without eiiecting any election, when Mr..
Wadsworth arose and Withdrew his own
name, having been informed that Judge
Leonard desired to be elected. 1t WAS
only from belief that that gentleman had
not authorised the use of his name, that
he (Mr. w. had consented to stand in
apparent competition with him; and now
that he knew the facts, he would not
serve, if elected, over man to whose
friendship and generosity he was so much
indebted.
The convention, nevertheless, elected
Mr.. Wadsworth; and he Immediately
resigned, and Judge Leonard was chosen
to supply the vacancy. Such instances
Of disntcrcsted gratitude are rare, and
beautiful as rare.-U. s. Ttiegyoph.
