Our Party and liz Leaders.

A respected correspondent in Vermont writes
us -
l am looking for brighter sky after the muir
ky fogs of the late election shall have passed off,
The Liberty party have not been toilng for
nought. The hand Of the omnpotent emanci-
petor is the shield, and his arm the defense, of
the Liberty party, and it must triumph be-
lieve it is not in the power of man to crush it.
That trial has been already made, and has most
signaly failed. Hcnceforth, | look for nothing
else than to see our young giant marching
straight forward unmolested to yictory-the
peaceful victory of righteousness and mercy
over lawless injustice and brutal oppression.
As for our beloved Birney, look upon him
now very much as / should have viewed the three
ancient worthless as they passed out from the fiery
furnace, without having the smell Of fire upon
their garments. Before the last trial loved and
honored the man, his sound head, courageous
soul, generous, manly heart; but now see him
(ifI may use the expressiou) endorsed over anew
by his Maker. For on the whole man I can
now REID the inscription, as if written with sun
light-"Dlessed are ye when men shall revile
you, and prosecute you, and say all manner Of
evil against you falsely for my sake. "-BOstOr

Conference, and the invitation has b accept
ed. A more fragrant usurpation no Bishop could
be guilty of "Bishop Soule," says the West
ern Christian Advocate, "has seen fit to do sing
ly what the General Conference and College OF
Bishops decided should not be done. The acts
of the General Conference are treated by Bishop
Soule in manner of which we have no exam
pie in any former period of our history"
From the tone of the Methodist press general
ly at the North, it would seem that the Bishop
will be called to strict account by the next gen
eral Cincinnati Herald.

PLUMBE'S NATIONAL DAGUERREAN GAL
LERY

1t will not surprise those persons who have visited
Professor PLUMBE's rooms at Concert Hail. and seen
the number of excellent likenesses which he has
taken Of distinguished individuals and we'll known
citizens and families in this metropolis to learn that
he has numerous visits and calls for professional pur-
poses. 1t would appear to us, from what we have
SEEN as we'll heard and read OF Professor Plumbe's
operations in the line of his art that he has attained
an cminence which places him in the very first rank
OF the Daguerrean profession. Indeed, we are fully
prepared subscribe to the opinion expressed by the
editor of the New York Mirror-a high authority
certainly in all matters Of art and taste--hat Mr.
Plumbe has brought the Daguerreotype to absolute
perfection" and that miniature painting is scarcely
heard Of since the admirable specimens OF this aris,
have become Known
1t is certainly much to The credit of Mr. Plumbe
that he owes hrs success principally to that deter
mined perseverance which has distinguished him and
animated him, amids' many Heterogeneous, to go
ahead and aim at perfection in his at. With nil des.
peradum for his motto, Professor Plumbe has indeed
made wonderful progress in the wonderful art, to
which he invites public attention at the Daguerrean
Gallery. The writer of letter, dated Bosom, and
published in late number of the Philadelphia Sa-
turday Courier, remarks that perseverance is vr
tue, and of the most remarkable instances Of ndefat
gable and successful perseverance with which am
personally acquainted, is that of Mr.. Plumbe, with
whose patent colored Photographic miniature like
nesses many of your readers are no doubt familiar.
some Time in the year l64O Mr.. Plumbe (~ho is
believe native Of North Csrolina) to this city
and commenced operations in what might then be
called his embryo art, but with little for
months did he meet, that less 60 ahead spirit
would have given up in despair. He, however, was
enthusiastically attached TO bis new art, and perse-
vered until he has extensive Daguerrean gale.

We commend Professor Plumbes wonderful art

hope of rthering the objects of the mission, he and

forty per cent. on their earned premiums In other
words, they return TO their customers two fiftbs Of
