GIVE recently published, in our Semi-weekly
paper, the sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. DAILY
to the 9th regiment of volunteers on the Sunday be-
fore their departure for Mexico and very sorry
that could not also give it to our Weekly readers
The sermon was marked by a spirit of patriotism and
fervent piety; but of course the Mexican wings must
denounce the and the preacher, because for
sooth, he did not choose TO eyince tory spirit and
condemn his country, and refuse 10 preach to or
pray for the welfare of soldiers who were on their
way to the battle field, at the call of their country
The Tippecanoe Journal, for instance speaks of the
sermon and the preacher in the following abusive
style:
"The discourse was prostitution of the Pulpit
a dissertation of the Holy Sabbath on which it was
deivered-a libel on Christianity, and solemn mock
cry of the DIVINE BEING, whose advent into the
world, clothed in the habiliments of HUMANITY was
announced by Angels, In song of rejoicing, whose
chorus ran:
"Glory to Con in the highest
On earth, PEACE and Coon WILL TO MEN 20
Now we affirm that there was not single sent-
ment embodied in the sermon, from beginning to end,
that could be justly offensive to true christian or
true patriot; its chief design being to teach the SOL
dlers that they could be good and good christians,
as Washington himself had been, notwithstanding
the vocation they had assumed at the call of patriot
ISM But to argue the point would be casting
pearls before swine" They who denounce such a
sermon tories at heart pharisees in religion mo-
raj traitors to God and man. and in their enzed ia
naticism, would deny to the dying soldier the last
consultations of christianity, well the honors,
which, if living, would be his DUE
Verify, we have fallen upon evil days. when men
are to be publicly denounced as desecrators of the
Sabbath" and "libelers of christianity" as we'll as
Panderers to "In6deliy," because they see fit 10
preach to our soldiers, and teach to our students,
truths, the force and propriey of which have been
recognized by every civilized and chrstianized ma
ton. This little worse than the Toryism of the
Revolution, the Federalism of the Last War.
Tories and Federasts then manifested their treason
by words and by deeds; but do not remember that
they were quite audacious enough to condemn openly
those who chose to preach, teach, and act for their
own country.
The truth is. the spirit of Milerism is rife upon
more subjects than one and not small portion of it
has been infused into the minds of those who now
feel 1t to be their duty to give all the aid and
fort they TO the Mexicans If deserving of for
gIVeness at all, 1t must be upon some such plea rs
this.

New ROUTE TO THE PAcIFIc.-A writer in the
Washington Union says Rail Road 600 miles long,
from Preside de Rio Grande to Guayamas in the Gulf
of California would secure continuous steam COM
munication from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He
thinks il much preferable the route by the Isthmus
of Tehauntepec, or that of Darien. The expense
would be slight compared with Mr.. Whitney's project
of Railroad across the continent.

spoke of his misrepresentation relative to the
