RELIGION AND POLITICS.

The practice which has unfortunately grown
up amongst of connecting awful dispensations
i of Providence with political events, and dcduclng
differences from them of presumptious and almost
blasphemous nature, Is one that IS as dangerous
to public morality it is offensive to religion.
! If it the result of fanatcism merely, we
should pity the man whose mind was SO disorder
ed to prevent him from drawing, clearly. the
line between a rational and exaggerated faith;
but when see it made instrument of party
hostility, cannot too strongly mark con-
domination of the use of such unlustifable wcap-
ons. The ways of God arc inscrutable, and it is
not for the feeble and errna mind of man to PEN
citrate into his motives; still less ought to draw
conclusions from them to favor our own selfish
views or justify evil passions.
Whatever may have been the faults of the
mon who have been either victims or sutfor-
ers by tho recent melancholy calamity on
board the Princeton, or however erroneous to the
policy they may have pursued, it is overstrain-
ed and unchristlan ASSUMPTION for any journal to
say that that lamentable event special pun
ishment for their errors. 1t is assuming the pre-
rogative of the Almighty himself to pronounce SO
solemn n Judgment on tho creatures whom he re-
calls into his dread presence. We see the best
and the purest minded of our fellow beings
slonally swept away, whilo those whose lives are
a disgrace to relig ion and humanity, suffered
to live in the commission of fresh transgres-
slons. Wherefore, thcn, we, blind and errlng
as we are. 10 sci ourselves up as Judges
the ma nifcstatons of the divine will, We are
but dust in tho eyes of the Creator, and yot, pre-
sumptous are, we attempt to raise
selves to His level.
1t is an unhealthy symptom to such sentl-
ments these go unrebuked. 1t is not merely
in the conversation of indiscreet men, bat in
the public journals that they find expression.
This is deeply to be deplorod, when we take into
consideration the widespread influence which the
prints to which allude exercise upon tho mind
of the community. The familiar contemplation

stronger than their principles, and thus the re-
suits become much more serious and mlschicyous
than their promulgators originally contemplated.
We, therefore, cntreat of the journals to which
We have alluded to reflect we'll on the consequent
ces of the ndiscreet they pursuing.
Lightly spoken words frequently involve grave
amount of responsibility. and we know nothing
which tends more to harden the heart than
fling on reIig ious subjects; like double edged
sword. it cuts both ways-belng more fatal III the
recoil than in the blow. We therefore advise
those who use it to take that it be not direct
ed against themselves, for, political weapon,
it is wholly indefensible; and know that the
profanity of their language is already awakening
a strong feeling of disgust and Indignation.

EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE GER
EMONY.

The neighborhood of St. Johns Chapel, St.
Johns square, Clerkenwell, LONDON has recent
~. as we learn from London paper, boon the
scene of great interest and curiosity, in conse-
quence OF a ceremony of most novel and extra
ordinary character having taken place:
The Rev. Mr.. Hugh Hughs. minister Of st.
Johns Chapel, in the course of his visitations to
relieve the poor in the lower walks of life, and af.
ford them religious aid, discovered great mum.
Der of both soxcs living together in state of prof
legacy. Through the medium Of his celebrations
they were brought to a sense Of the improperly
OF such a course of life, and eighty-six men and
women. consisting of butchers, cottcrmongers,
tallors. shoemakers, and others o various trades
and calings, consented at the request of the rev,
erend gentleman, to appear Mt st. Johns Chapel
on Monday. there to go through the matrimonial
coremony, gratis.
Every arrangement was made for this occn-
sion, and at early hour the galleries filled
with highly respectable persons, male and female,
IN order to witness the ceremony, and the body
of the cliice crowded, whilst the greatest
interest was manifested outside by tho humorous
spectators.
The police, and Bucklaw, the beadle, were in
attendance to keep order and prevent any incon-
venience. At eight o'clock in the morning the
happy couples began to arrive, and they were
ushered through one door into pcws. The rev.
erend gentleman at length took his station at tho

INFAMOUS BLASPHEMY.

The National Intelligencer, abiding to the base
means resorted to by the Loco Focos to sustain
their sinking cause, says
among the means projected is series OF
tracts, published here for distribution by mem.
bers of Congress and others, which from tho sam
pie we have seen of them, are likely to DO tho
most villainous compounds Of Falsehood. Hy-
pocrisy, and Malignity that have ever damned
any cause or disgraced any country"
As a specimen they publish Tnrct No. 4, en-
titled .Providential dspensations. This IS drawn
up in canting, pious strain, attrbuting all tho
deaths. misfortunes and public Gala mites OF tho
last three years to the wckednoss of the Wings.
and the Judgment Of God in consequence thereof.
Take example
Upon the front of the Portico Of the Capitol
above the pillars which sustain it, is n statue of
Justice formerly holding in her right hand scroll
labelled CONSTITUTION. Prior to the Inaugural
ton of General Harrison, the right arm Of tho
statue broke, and with the scroll of the Consttu-
ton fell to her feet, where it now lies.
Now it SO happens that this omen occurred IN
the reign Of Van Buren,, and on the very night
that the Broad Seal of New Jersey was tramPled
on. her sovereignty degraded, and rights disre-
o, rIod bv the admission Of the s'bastard sons."-

SO soon it known in Connecticut that
tho Wings had carried the State. Mr.. Gideon
Wolles, prominent Locofoco, wrote to Senator
come to Albany, where he met by Mr.. w.
and taken post-haste to Washington, passing thro'
this city on Friday. The intention of course is
that he shall be qualified and take his seat in the
L. S. Senate. The Troy Wing of Saturday
says:
" JOHN VI. NILES. The locofoco journals state
that this gentleman has entirely recovered with
the exception of slight rheumatic Affection
This is great We are informed by a
slider him hopelessly insane. We may add to
this that gentleman of the higes! responsibility
stated in this city two three days ago. that he
was in Utica the day previous and not allow
ed by DR.. Brigham, the Superintendent Of the
Hospital, to see Mr.. Niles, notwithsta ndng the
long intimacy which existed between them. He
inquired which was Mr.. Niles room and was
pointed to room fitted up with gratings and all
the other safeguards of lunatc's CELL

cause than rheumatism, why put strait Jacket

umph III Connecticut would be productive of vast
good, but we did not think it would restore a loco

THE PRESIDENT AND RHODE ISLAND.

We recommend to the pa rticular attention of
our readers the Message of the President OF the
United States to the House of Representatives in
reply to a call from that body. The Message
sent in on Tuesday, but not opened until W ednes-
day, and we then had no opportunity of seeing 1t.
We copy the message from the Madlsonian. and
will publish the correspondence as soon as we
can obtain it.
We cannot let this letter 90 to readers with
out taking occasion to express the qualification
which the perlsal of it has afforded US, not only
on account of the soundness of principles which 1t
lays down, SO worthy OF the high station occupied
BY its author, but account also Of the frank
and satisfactory explanation which It affords Of
the Presidents conduct IN regard to the unhappy
conflict in Rhode Island. This explanation was
more necessary, from his course having been
heretofore somewhat misunderstood and the Pres
ident cannot but feel obliged to the mover of the
Resolution. whatever his motive might have been,
for affordng him SO favorable an opportunity for
doing Justice to his own motives and conduct.
This he appears to us to have done efectually.
He had taken. it appears all proper measures for
the interposition of the General Government, had
circumstances made such interposition lnevI-
table duty and we should think. now that all OK
ci,ement on the subject has nearly subsidized there
can be very few who will not rejoice as we do,

of themselves to defend their Government and
laws against disloyaty at home. thouSh encour

at one time seriously to threaten the public

THE WESTERN RIVER & HARBOR BILL
PASSED.

On Saturday last, tho House on motion of Mr..
Duncan, having re-considered the River & Har-
Dor bill, the appropriation for the Illinois river
struck out by vote of lS to 40.
The appropriation for the Ohio, the Mississippi,
and Harbors, was passed by vote of ITO to IS:
The Bill appropriates. we believe, one hundred
thousand dollars to the Ohio river above the Falls
and hundred and eighty thousand dollars to
the Ohio and Mississippi below. This is sufficient
for the work that be done the present season.
We are glad Congress has removed the re-
proach which it certainly would have incurred
had the Bill not passed.

DRUNKENNESS.

In speaking ofdrunkenness, it is impossible not
TO be struck with the physical and moral degrade.
ton which it has spread over the world. The ru-
in of Rome was owing to luxury. Of which indul-
gencc in wine was the principal folly. Hannibal's
army fell less by the arms of Scipio than by tho
wines of Capua and the inebriate hero Of Maco-
don. after staying his friend Clytus and burning
the palace ofPersepois, expired last in fit Of
intoxicatlon, in his thirtythird year. A thousand
volumes might be written in illustration of the evil
effects OF dissipation but this is unnecessary to
those who look around them and cndeavor to un.
derstand their condition and destiny. Tho history
ofthe past teens with lessons by which may
profit and the personal observation Of every man
has unquestionaby furnished abundant proof OF
the danger of being finally ruined by this perni-
ciolis habit.-There is but one infallible safe.

TIIE. EXPOSITION.

Amos Kendall. in the Expositor of the 18th
instant, inquiries, what would tho Wings think of
him if he should unfurl the banner of the Cross
as party signl The editor may rest satisfied
that the Wings would think the worse of
him. He has already earned and received the
crown of basphcmy, by the publication of his
:. Providenta Dspensations,' and if the star
of his fortunes had determined that nothing
should be wanting to complete his infamy. this
honor has been awarded him by his party.

among the most corrupt vindlctlve. INSCRIPTIONS

dvism can furnish and if thcrc be any higher
or lower inches in the Temple of Intamy to which
h, has not attained, any deeper or blacker guilt
from which he has withheld his hand.wc may safe
ly conclude that his ambition of such honors has
OILY been restrained by the Unborn potroonerv of
hrs nature, which would never sustain him in
such attempts.
We nave placed Mr.. Kendall among the most
corrupt and wicked and proetitused of party
hacks, and have not set him before ali others from
u scrupulous sense of Justice to his friend Mr.
Blair, of the Globe, whose depravity being total
