II affords US pleasure to copy the following from
the Columbia Is. CO Telegraph, one ofthe most de-
cided opposition journals in the country:
The Heroic Age"
Several of our contemporaries have extolled very
highly a series Of articles signed the Heroic Age,
which have appeared in the Washington Union. 1t
may be want of taste on part, but 80 far from
seeing any of the Jack Downing humor in them,
we regard them the most insipid stuff that SEN
sible man, like Mr.. Richie. ever permitted TO lum
Der up the columns of his paper
''The testers of the middle ages often hid sharp
satire under their motley, but in this modern in
stance we hear the jingling of the fools bells, and
nothing else.
''For the whole Jack Downing, Major Jones, and
Heroic Age school entertain holy horror
for they pevert facts, and corrupt the taste of the
reading public by substituting the ludicrous for the
true, and making war at one and the same time on
the proprieties of the English language, and the
decencies and courtesies OF life.
''We should be glad to general union of the
decent portion of press, without distinction of
party, in rebuking and protesting against such
sbominable prostitution OF language and pcrver-
sion of the press"

FANATiclsM The Presbytery of the Reformed
Presbyterian church is in session in New York
This body is composed Of something likeone hundred
ministers, mostly Of Scotch and Irish descent, and
more generally known descendants of the Scotch
covcnanters, who have always entertained peculiar
views with regard to the government of the earth.
In the United States, where one would think our
tyranny, they grumble at the character of the gov
eminent, the omission in the constitution of any
acknowledgment OF Supreme Ruler, the existence
Of slavery in the country and its liberation by the
national laws-and on these grounds they refuse to
admit any person to their communion table who
swears to support the laws and Constitution of the
United States. This is a most singular piece of
anatic ism, but is nevertheless true. At the pres
ent meeting of the New York Presbytery, how
ever, case is expected to come before that
body which is viewed with good deal of interest
by persons conversant with the facts.
1t is this Last spring young divine connected
the north of Ireland, and one of the New York con
gregatons being without minister at the time, he
invited to become their pastor, which invitation
he accepted, and was shortly after ordained. Since
his ordination he has become quite popular, people
from nearly every denomination going to hear him
preach the consequence was, large number of
very respectable persons informed the young min
lister that they would like very well to unite with
his church, but they could not do ON account of
the views which the body with which he con-
nected entertained of the United States Govern
ment. He Immediately responded that that need
not hinder them, for he was great an admirer of
constitution as they could possibly be. The
elders of his church, however, opposed to the
carry the matter before the Presbytery. Troy

county convention, and a Barnburner ditto, was
held in Schenectady Saturday TO form coali-
ton county ticket, but the attempt was failure.
The Barnburners proposed the following "plat-
form" Of principle
'sRsselved That Congress has the constitutional
power over slavery in the District of Columbia,
and has no power over the subject in the States.
That il possesses, in the opinion of this convention,
full power over the subject in the Territories of the
United States, and should exert that power ON all
occasions OF attempts to introduce it there
This the Hunkers would not stomach. They pre-
scented the following counter platform:
'Rssoivsd, That the basis of action for the pur-
