BIGOTRY AND INTOIERANCE

We see by the following proceedings of Mass
Meeting of the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows held in the Masonic Hall in The city of
Charleston, by the authority and under the drec-
ton of the Nj. w. Grand Master on Monday
evening, the 18th inst, that the Episcopal Church
have lent themselves to the work of intolerance
We can see nothing but evil to the church grow
ing out of this move, for while we desire TO pay
all due respect 10 the various religious sects in
our country, we cannot but condemn, with indiu-
nation, every attempt of ecclesiastical bodies 10
nrce their authority upon the minds of man
And look upon this attempt to effect their OBJ
ject over the grave with unmgtaged contempt
and adherence
Why is that the Order of Odd Fellows has
fallen under the ban of the English Church Is
it because of its unceasng Christian charity, and
consistent and continued acts of brotherly love.
which brings the blush of shame To the cheeks of
Christian professors in that Church? Or do
they fear to have disciple so near The Throne
Of Grace whose incense may be more acceptable
TO the Creator, than that which they can offer :?
Have they forgotten the parable of the Good
Samaritan. The Order of Odd Fellows is that
good Samartan--it is not hard to point out the
Priests and Levites
Whereas document has recently been pub
lished by the Bishop and Parochial Clergy of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the city of Charles
ton, declaring g that they will piiciate at no fu-
neral at which any subsequent religious services
shall be contemplated )" and whereas, it has been
generally understood that this announcement was
made in consequence of the opposition to the per-
tormance ofth funeral service of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. Therefore, be it
Resolred, That we cannot but regret that the
Reverend gentlemen should have felt themselves
constrained to adopta course of procedure, which
has been premature, and calculated to offend the
feelings of large portion of the entire Order, as
satisfactory arrangements might have been made
by private and friendly conference with the pre-
siding officers of orr Institution, which course we
feel assured, would have derogated neither
from the Importance or the dignity of the sacred
office.
ResOlred further, That while this body, de-
cIares its disposition under no circumstances to
NEEDLE with the religious tenets of any sect, it at
the same time enteTains unaltered resolution
To pursue the ancient customs and usages of the
Order in lis funeral ceremonies over deceased
brother, and will continue to observe them when
ever requested TO do by the family or the next
friend of such deceased brother
On motion of Brother. it was
RcsoIued, That the preamble and resolutions
adopted by this meeting, be published in all the
daily journals of this city.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

This beautiful little Church, situated on the
corner of Middle and London streets, in Ports
mouth requires some repairs to put it in the order
1t should be, for the credit of the town, and the
cause which it is dedicated to sustain, and the
Ladies, belonging TO the Congregation, have got
up neat and appropriate Fete, to come off this,
and the next three days, in the Masonic Hail. to
which they especially invite every man who loves
to enjoy the society and company of chasie and
beautiful ladies, Of whom there will be large
numbers in attendance at the FEAST, during it's
continuance. All the ladies in the town are, of
course, expected, married and single. and it is
well known that they never come alone We
feel assured that the highest hopes of the proiec-
tors of this Fete will be realized, and the sum
necessary be raised once as the object is praise
worthy, and must meet the appreciation of all

SYBILLINE ORACLES.

The following is extracted from an old edition
OF Merln's Prophecies, supposed to have been
written abuuta thousand years ago imprinted Mt
London, by John Hawkins, in the year 1850.
For an account of this valuable and scarce book
see Swilt's works vol. 2, p. Id, ed. l776.

The mother shall stab her child.
When the cock shall WOO the dove,
The mother and child shall cease to love.

When men, like moles, work under ground,
The lion a virgin true shall wound
When the dove and cock the lion shall fight,
The lion shall crouch beneath their might
When the cock shall guard the eagles nest,

When ships above the clouds shall sail,
The lions strength shall surely fail.

PROGRESS OF ABOLITION.

We see it stated in some of our exchange pa
pers that an Abolition paper on the plan, and in
the spirit of the "True American published by
4. Nj. Clay IN Lexington, is shortly to be started
In Baltimore, and to be published simultaneously
in that city and Washington, by a Mr. Cary,
said TO be man of talent. What will be the
final result of such move, can be seen by our
columns to day, and how much further public in
dignaton may drive men, no one can tell. We
are no advocate for mob law, but if the LEGALLY
constituted authorities will not interposc to pro-
tect the community, and abate nuisances, then
the community must defend themselves. Letthe
Grand Jury of Baltimore present Mr.. Cary, and
his proposed publication as a nuisance, and there
VIII be no necessity to resort to force hereafter.
The immediate cause oftho excitement in Lex
ington. was the publication of the following para
graph in the True American, which, it will he
seen, invites the blacks to the commission of rob-
berry and murder, rapine and debauchery, which
the miserable editor attempts to explain away as
abiding alone to " national policy and that it
was the action of the 3" white millions" to which
he referred when he pointed to the silver
plate" and the . smooth-skinned woman on the
! ottoman"
Slavery, the most unmitigated, the lowest,
basest that the world ever SEEM is to be substitut
ed forever for our better, more glorious, boiler
aspirations. The constitution is torn and tramp
led under foot justice and good faith in nation
are derided brute force is substituted in the place
of nigh moral tone; all the great principles of ma
tional liberty which we inherited from our British
ancestry are yielded up, and we are left without

THE CAPTIVE.

THE CAPTIVE.
Upon the barren sand,
q single captive stood;
Around him came, with bow and brand,
The red men of the wood.
Like him of old his doom he hears,
Rock bound on occau's brim-
The chieftain's daughter knealt in tears,
And brcathcd a prayer for him.
Above his head in air.
The sava%e war.club swung
Tn" frantic girl, in wild despair,
Her arms about him flung.
Then shook the warrior of the shade.
Like leaves on aspen limb,
Suhdu"d by that heroic maid,
Who breathed a prayer for him.
" Unbind him !" gasped the chief;
"It is YOUR kings decrec,.'
He kissed away the tears of grief,
And set the captive free!
IT'S ever thus, when in iifc's storm,
Hopes star to man grows dim,
An Angel kneels, in woman's form,
And breathes prayer for him.

THE TREASURY CIRCULAR.

We republish from the Union of Saturday the
Circular of Mr. Walker, calling for information,
as it processes. touching the Tariff,-but as it
seems to us, asking the Manufacturers in seasonal
10 be prepared to make out case for themselvesS
The questions all addressed to manufacturers
and about manufactures,-as if they and their
business were the only legitimate study of the
Treasury Department, and as if the Government
hung upon their wellbeing. We had hoped for
far wider range of inquiry than Mr.. Walker has
allowed himself; for a sympathy with more in
terests than those which fixed npon us the present
system of plumber and oppression. The Manu-
facturers in 1912 were invited by Congress to de-
wise a system Of duties and they are now called
upon to say how far and how long their own work
shall contjnnc. This does not look much like re-
form, repeal or modification. There is such
thing as Commerce, as Agriculture in the coun-
try.
