THE LECTURES.

We have had the pleasure of listening 10
the two first lectures OF the course, delivered
by the Rev. james D. Butler, and have sci.
dom been as delightfully."- entertained. His
subjects alone are enchanting, but the true
poetic eye with which he has done his sight
seeing, throws a new charm around the un-
veiIed mysteries of Pompei, and The match
less beauties, the grand snblimily and the
classic associations of Naples and its envi-
rons. His next lecture takes place this eve
ming at half past six at Slrong's Hall. Sub
icct, the Church of ST. Peter at Rome.
We bespeak a crowded audience.

HYPOCRISY.

The executive committee of the American
Anti. Slavery Society has appointed day of
Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, IN refer
cncc to the proposed annexation Of Texas.
Tho proclamation opens thus:
"rTne Federal Government ordained and es-
tablished for the avowed purpose of forming more
perfect union establishing Justice, insullng domestic
tranquility, providing for the common defence, pro-
noting the general welfare and securing the blessings
OF liberty. Tiaiiofous TO its high and holy trusts, re.
CARELESS Of the preservation of union and domestic
TRANQUILITY, as well as Of the common defence and
general welfare, in utter vlo ton of the obligations OF
Justice and in contempt of the blessings of Liberty, 1t
is now consplrlng TO extend and perpet ate the curse
aud crime of human bondage"
Did not Mr.. Tappan and his associates
know all this as well before the election as
snce2 They knew tina, Polk was nominal
ted expressly on the ground of annexation,
was unequivodaIly pledged TO it, and that his
election would in all human probability Sc
cure it; whlleT,Mr. Clay was as explicitly
and unequivocay pledged against it. Yet
these sanctlmonibus hypocrites threw away
votes enough in the State of New York to
have controlled the election, and prevented
the extension and perpetualion of slavery !;
and now, with impious mockery propose to
pray !-lliat the Almighty would take up
on himself the responsibility of their most IN.
consistent conduct. A more down right in
suit was never offered to an intelligent re-
ligious community, and we will no, doubt that
the proposition will be treated with the con-
tempt it deserves. The committee say
lin reference to themselves We take i,) -
According to the assurance Of Scripture, our sins
are now finding ont, and we have abundant cause
to dread the Just judgments Of an offended God. =
Let us with sincere confession and repen.
lance with ardent PRAYER and devout humiliation, be-
seach our Heavenly Father TO look upon US in mercy
This certainly indicates a realizing sense
of their true characters, and, coming from
men of ordinary honesty and good faith,
would enlille them to sympathy. But know
ing what we know, we take no stock in lheil
lamentations.

Mr.. CLAys GsNFGosITy.-llenry Clay has
