Political Sermons.

MEssns. EDIroRs: The following is an ex-
trac, from the Rev. Mr.. Ea,on's Fast Day
sermon, delivered to hls congregation in
Fryeburg:
"The practice has become quite general
for ministers of the gospel to preach political
sermons on occasions like this. You must,
therefore, suffer me 10 make remark with
regard TO it. l have right 10 entertain
those political views which, in my humble
opinion, are truly American principles; but
have never felt il to be my duty TO preach
political sermons; or, in other words, TO be
public advocate ofa political party. Should
ever feel that God has called me TO this
work, will leave my holy calling, and the
sacred deek in which stand, and take the
stump in the open field. Twill not ba an
advocate Of party Politics under the cloak
Of religion, and thus conceal my political
feelings and prgudices' No, this is not my
work!
"God has not commissioned me to instruct
men how to potc, but how TO be SAVED
Not 10 lead them 10 tho polls, but to the
THRONE OF GRACE. Not to build up poHt:.
icaI party, but the CHURCH OF THE LIVING
COP. IfI can advance the interests of my
country by preaching the truths Of the Bible
those truths to which we are indebted for
our incompatible form Of government, and
for that high molal elevation in the people
that preserves its umimpaired-in this shall
rejoice, yen, and will rejoice. This congre-
cation, therefore, will please excuse me from
preaching politics, while there is such an i'm
perious demand for that gospel which lis the
power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth.'

COLONEL JEFFERSON DAv1s.-This dsin-
guished soldier, says the Pennsylvania,
whose services on tho bloody field Of Buena
Vista, remarkable as they were proclaimed
TO be in the rumors from the camp, are now
confirmed in the impartial dispatches Of Gen.
Taylor, is one of the leading men Of Misss-
sippi; and at the time of the wonderful gal
lantry alluded 10, was in command of the
Mississippi Rifles. Gen. Taylor, though
closely connected with Col. Davis, commends
him for distinguished courage on the field, to
"the particular notice Of the goJernment."-
His evolution by which his men were thrown
into the form of the crotchet = to receive
an overwhelming force Of lancers, astonished
all who saw il, but proved to be most brill
liant vancouver. The Mexicans halted when
they saw it, and rode full Of astonishment in
to the crotchet. A writer from Mexico says
that the Gro ,chet was filed in an in
stant; and just as they wheeled their horses,
with lances set on both prongs, the intrepid
Mississippi Colonel, standing inside the fork,
called out: "Boys fire, and at them with
your knves" simultaneously with the
sharp crack ofthe rifles, deafening shout
went up, and the revolvers flashed in the d.
rec,ion of the ancers. Strange as it may
seem, many of the lancers we're actually
dragged from their horses and stabbed to
death. In this unusual manner this splendid

OUR RUINED COUNTRY.

Over five hundred wagons, loaded with

ky city, during four days of the present
week. Supposing each wagon to contain
35 bushels, which we think is fair estimate,
and that each bushel Of wheat sells for ST.,
l2a cents, it will amount in the aggregate

the ground taken by the Democracy that to

this all ths tariff laws that Tho ingenuity Of
