The anniversary Of the battle Of Trenton.
is to be celebrated on 26th inst, by militia
ry parade, in which numerous companies
will participate.
The Queen Of the West arrived at New
Orleans on the Sd inst, from Cincinnati,
with near 1000 barrels Of -four and large
quantity of corn on board. The Queen
should have been there week before, when
the -four would have commanded only S6
per barrel-she was detained by low water,
and it was worth $7, so on the Sd.
little girl, the daughter Of Lewis Smith,
OF Syracuse, was SO severely burned by its
clothes catching fire, that it will probably
not recover.
The citizens Of ST. Louis are holding pub

The steamer Diligence, on her way from
Louisville to New Orleans, struck stump.
or log, near Sand Island, which raked her on
the starboard quarter from midships to her
stern. She filled with water in few min

the minds and hearts Of all true lovers OF
our union. GA private interest must be
sacrificed to public good,'' is always first
in the affections of true American.
Do you deal in the article? You are a
a merchant--you sell ardent spirits-you
make money by the trafic--you find 1t
profitable. Many good men, good patriots,
have done so before you. But, consider,
that was done in the days Of darkness; but
now the true light shineth--the temperance
light, the light Of truth. So, under the dark
dispensation, God winked at their follies !;
but NOW he commander all men, every
where, to repent. ] heard merchant say,
only few days since, that he formerly sold
Intoxicating drinks, but did not then con-
slider the evil Of the practice. 81 would
not sell it now to save my life.'' Times
and circumstances and manners change.
We are fully persuaded that every true
lover Of his country will become friend to
the Temperance cause, if he will only be-
come thoughtful and seriously consider the
great evil Of Intemperance, and the absolute
impossibility Of mans patriotism and rum
ism living together. He must give up one
or the other, they are incompatibles. Can a
man be "a "real lover Of his country and
consent to make money by trafiicing in an
article that fills our risons and penitentiaries
with criminals, olr alms-houses with pau
pers, our hospitals with maniacs, that multi
plies widows and sorphans, that brings pre-
mature disease and death, and costs the ma
ton more than sum sufficient to pay the
expenses Of earring on the great and efficient
operations Of this mighty Government !?
When will our countrymen wake up out of
their sleep1
Thank God many are nowawake and alive
to the interests Of our free and independent
nation. We are grieved that soem are so
slow to rise up in their might against the
dark and damning demon, that has SO long
waved his black flag in triumph over the
wasted peace and happiness Of many of our
fair countrymeu. Truth will-mus prevail.

For the Columbian Fountain.
CHRISTIAN OBLIGATION.

Gentlemen,-Y Y our determination not to
permit "the waters" issuing from 0The
Columbian Fountain . to be 6 troubled y by
the discussion of " sectarian . questions. is
certainly judicious. In coming to this de-
termination, you have no doubt assumed it
as possible that, whatever may be the dis
tinctive features Of the various denomina-
tions Of Christians abroad in the land, as to
doctrine, discipline and government, all can
SO harmonic their views and assimilate
their feelings as to present an undivided
front in support Of the cause in which you
are laboring. ] cannot suppose, however,
that it is either your wish or intention to
exclude christianity from your paper. No;
for he who advocates Christianity cannot do
SO without contributing to the advancement
Of Temperance.
The caption Of this article is g Christian
Obligation" subject, to the consideration
OF which those protesting godliness may
well direct their attention. 1t is my par-
pose, at least, SO to communicate what !
wish to express upon this subject, as not to
partake, in the slightest degree, f,my own
denominational views Of Gospel truth; and
if, unfortunately, shall wander off into for
hidden paths, you will, no doubt, call me
back, with friendly admonition to ~take
heed to my ways" Indeed, have reason
to believe that you understand the erasiag
process. Well, gentlemen, to this it would
be the highest folly in me to object. have
long since had evidence that editors are a
class of persons who claim for themselves
literary omnipotency. But to the subject.
What is Christianity Do not be sur
prised at my proposing this question. lido
so from conviction that in all discussions
il is highly important to determine with pre-
cision the meaning Of the leading terms
used. To reply, that Christianity is not Ju-
daism, nor Mohammedanism, nor Paganism,
would not be such an answer as the present
inquiry contemplates. 1t is Christianity in
its Biblical sense that the question is in
tended to reach. It is not my present pur-
pose to examine this question fully. To do
this would require more research than my
leisure moments are sufficient for, and would
extend this communication far beyond the
limits | have prescribed. 1t will be sufli-
cient for the object ! have in view, to say
that Christianity originated in the eternal
and unchanging looe Of God "for God SO
lorcd the world that he gave his only be-
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him." &C. Its introduction into the world
was declared to be, 6 On earth peace, good
acill toacard men" Jesus Christ, its author
and end, and who from the manger Of Beth
lehem to the cross Of Calvary constantly
exemplifed all its holy and heavenly prin-
ciples by " doing good" He, therefore, in
whose breast the love Of God has taken up

HOUSE OF REPRESENTArvps

After the reception of some executi, conr,,,
nications, the House resumed the consio at;on &c
the motion of Mr.. Levin, to refer cert, 49, =
lutions Of the Massachusetts Legislature, ,sL;nn &
a revision Of the naturalization laws, to aIaass as
Committee instead of the Judiciary Comm
Mr.. Levin advocated the reference to SSs.
Committee on the ground that the JudcK
Committee are adverse to the prayer of the d
ttioners, and quoted the adage that ga chill
ought not to be put to nurse to those who care
not for it." He spoke of the great importance
Of the subject, and asserted that sooner or later
it must be met.
Mr.. Brodkead, who had moved reference
to the Judiciary Committee, denied that there
was the least evidence that the Committee were
hostile to the resolutions. While other i,npor-
tant interests were referred to standing Commit
tees, what was there in the principles of the Ma
tive American party, that they should be ndulr-
ed with Select Committee? He thought the
House ought not to dignity with a report a sub
ject which was advocated by only six members
out Of 223.
Mr.. Rathbun had no objection to the reference
to a Select Committee. He for one was not dis
posed to crafty a few men who thought they had
made new discovery, by consideration Of the
subject before the Committee on the Judiciary
If gentlemen thought they could nurse their
bantling and make any thing out Of it, let them
have a fair chance---let them have their Com
mittee.
The discussion was continued by Messrs. Ma
clay, Winthrop, Darragh, Campbell, Woodruff,
Payne, Mcdowell, Sims, Dillingham;, Yancey,
Owen, and Giles

for the consumption of your fellow-men,

fire which has beggared, disgraced, and

Christian brother, exemplify the principles
OF our holy religion, loOe, peace, and
good aoilI," when, by your example, you
inpite and recommend to your fellow-men
the use OF those intoxicating drinks which
have, beyond doubt, already led many, and,
without doubt, will lead others to the loss
of character, employment, property, do
mestic happiness, peace Of mind nay, the
loss Of life itself, by opening premature
grave, and, finally and for ever, the loss Of
the soul. Can il be possible that the Re-
deemer Of the world referred to such con-
duct as this when to his followers he said,
/" Let your light 50 shine before men that
they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven"
In answering these questions confer not
with flesh and blood;" listen not to the
whisperings Of self-interest; be not coun-.
selled by the "mammon Of unrighteous-

ways still open--we mean by negotiation or

are deemed of vast importance to the WE'LL
being OF society. And if the subject has
not been misconceiyed, the following infer
ences appear to be deducible therefrom:
!. # Christianity originated in the eter-
nal and unchanging love Of God, it must
have partaken Of the. nature of the source
from whence it emanated, and, therefore, is
the same mmutable principle, imposing all
thoseS obligations which grow out of the
law Of love.
2. If the effects Of Christianity, as taught
and illustrated by its Author, are "peace
on earth and good will to man, it still re-
quires, and ever must, of its disciples, the
practice Of "peace and good will ? in all
the relations of life.
3. If Christian obligations are founded in
!" lore," and demand the observance OF
@peace and good acill," he who, in his in
tercourse with his fellow-men, whether in
the social or business relations Of life, is not
actuated by "lope," and does not exhibit in
his conduct ''peace and good aoill,' is not
Christian, and has neither part nor lot in
the matter.
Reader, are you a processing Christians
If you are protesting Christian, then
let few questions be submitted for your
thoughtful and prayerful consideration grow

ton has been briefly directed.
