CLERGYMEN AND FANATIcs.-A sharp cor
respondent, writing 10 the Journal Of Com
merce on the Temperance question ana lis
clerical leaders, u,,ers the following truths:
"ln almost all cases where clergymen take
an active part in matters of this kind, they be-
come ianaical, and call il religion. Religion
mecns anything or nothing, but pisty is Godlt-
ness. For example, Charles the Fifth was
called religious; he fought fifty battles for re-
Iieion. Cardinal Ximenes, lnquisiior General
of Spain was called very religious; he, during
his administration, murdered 1000 human
beings, because they did not believe in the
idolatry of Rome. That great rascal the Duke
of Alva, when Viceroy of Flanders, was also
religious and Leo the Tenth was mighty re-
ligious when he directed Cation, his legate OF
Germany, to sell indulgencies have con-
versed with many of the true friends OF tenn
perance, aud they sincerely regret this Jesu-
itical, fanatical, political measure. They are
fearful that i, will injure the cause OF temper
ance in the same way that Abolition fanatics
l did the cause of slave emancipation"

THE MOTHER OF rApREs,prNr.

Mrs. Polk, the mother of the late Presi-
dent Of The United States died last week at
Columbia, Tennessee. She was member
OF the Presbyterian church regular in her
attendance upon the services of the sanc,u.
AIRY ; humble and exemplary in her depor,-
ment and esteemed and beloved by the
whole community. Her venerable form
might be seen every Sabbath in the house of
prayer.
1t is known that while Mr. and Mrs. Polk
were in the Presidential mansion, their exam.
pie, so far as the Sabbath and attendance up-
on balls. &c, was concerned, was decidedly
favorable 10 the cause of religion, Mrs. Polk
being member Of the church, and consis.
tent in her profession.
We may here venture to make state
ment of no great interest perhaps, but going
TO show the power of maternal influence
When Mr. Polk was President Of The U. States,
we were introduced to him a, the White
House, and he remarked, 81 have long been
subscriber to your paper for my aged mother,
who still lives and reads it with great inter.
est and attention every week"
We said TO him, that his respect for the
Sabbath day had been gratifying 10 the reli.
gous sentiment of the country. He replied.
81 was taught by pious mother to fear
God and keep his commandments, and |
trust that no cares of government of my
own, will ever tempt me 10 forget what
owe TO His government"
We have often recalled that remark, as
worthy of being repeated publicly; and
now that the mother and the son have both
gone to their final account, it is proper that
this fact should be put on record. Mothers
may teach lessons 10 their sons which they
will not forget when they become Presi-
dents.
We have heard it said that Mr.. Polk lived
a mile or two from his mother, but never
failed 10 visit her every dav IS

THRILLING SCENE ON THE EAST RIvER.-
The New York evening papers of Tuesday
record quite nn exciting aud fearful scene on
the last river between that city and Brook
lyn on ilc morning of that day. The fol-
lowing is from the Mirror:
We have 10 record very rare event to-
day. The East river this morning, wns
crowded with ice, from Governors Island
to Wiilinmsburgh. The ice was so firmly
frozen that the steamboats, could not make
their way through il, aud persons who were
anxious TO cross TO New York, to attend to
business, risked their lives, by walking on
the ice. About 10000 or l2,000 persons
crossed between the South and Fulton Fer
ries. OF these, upwards OF 200 were fe-
males. The ice commenced breaking about
10 o'clock,nnd irlghtIu scene ensucd. A
large number of persons were on sheets of
broken ice, aud were rescued after great dil-
fculty. 1t was rilmorcd that some were lost,
but we could not ascertain this TO be u fact.
1t was IL O'Clock, before the adyenurers
were all rescued from their perilous predica-
ment 1t was reported that several of the
soldiers stationed at Governors Island avail
ed themselves of the bridge. A brig lying
near Fulton Ferry was struck with the ice
when it commenced moving, aud she sunk
almost instantly. No doubt but other sim.
lar accidents occurred.

poses three modes of action.
]. To popuurize the obnoxious plan of
colonization, so justly abhorred by our col
ored citizens
9. To legislate the free people of color
out Of oil the states where such an infamous

3. To push through Congress the decep-
tive project of the "Ebony Line of Steain.
Ships" which is TO transport the colored
population by ship loads to Liberia.
Here we liuye II systematic plot to push
the colored people of this country out OF this
land of their birth, into foreign cline. In
fitiherance of this plan the colonization 80
ceiy has walked up full of new zeal. Nor
thern newspapers recommend the society
aud publish articles in favor of tho Ebony

sed n law prohibiting cOlored persons from
settling in that state, aud Mr. Clay writes to

syudnid legislature. Aud Virginia proposes

Emigration was the prominent idea of
this age. A million and n huff had emigra-
ted from Ireland to the United States, great
" to the advantage of Ireland. The emigra.
ton of colored persons from this country to
Africa, was equally practicable, especially il
encouraged by the government. 1t was
destined to produce great good. The sepa-

proposed which would disgrace the country

The Right Sort Of a Revival.

A modern Doct. of Divinity, said, zone of
the great revvals of this stirring rapid age
(uay God grant il speedily would be revi-
val ofthe spirit of the good Samaritan, in all
our brethren of the Luity." lie added, also,
that he did not mean to excuse the clergy
for "iheir innumcrable omissions"
Now that is all the revival we want in this
world. Get the spirit of the "good Snmuri.
ian," aud you have the spirit Of Heaven
mankind need TO become "neghbors," and
the reIicvers of cach other. We may not
have SO much religion as TO forget ltnani.
ty. And " hat terrible religion is that that
takes sides against humanity? Such is the
religion of all slave states, aud all dcspolc
states IN the world. The religion of Russin,
Austria and Italy sides with the iyrauts that
crush the poor people to the dust, and shut
up the mouths of all good men. Aud 1t is
also true of England aud America. Did tic
religion OF England take sides with the OPP
pressed, then would the poor lnndless Irish
men aud EuglsImen be land holders aud
comfortable liyers. Then would every slave
drop his chains aud clap his hands aud exult
in Freedom. Did the religion of our coun-
try side with the oppressed, every dranishop
would be pulled to pieces, aud their contents
destroyed, and with all the fury of war. We
have right to hate and destroy dranlshops,
for they hate and destroy us.
Now we have had great many revivdls in
this country and Europe, and they have
been called christian revivals. Aud don't
satisfy us. We stand aud cry to Heaven aud
earth, oh! for reUiudi oCthe Spiriiof The good
Samaritan" The trouble in this country,
and Europe, is, that we have no revivals
Of the Samaritan spirit. The revi-
vuls we have not learnt is, "who is our neigh
bor? How come these ignorant, ragged,
starving, polluted men aud women about our
streets, lhieving and swearing aud fighting
aud doing every evil thing with so few to
cure for them? Such revival turns from
earthly pomp aud grandeur aud fashion and
all the objects of worldiness, and spend the
first efforts to purify aud save them. II does
not spend itself on costly houses, or waste its
funds in any worldly useless way.
Now that is all the revival we want in this
world. It would make our earth heaven.
There would not be n slave, drunkard,
wrougcd man in it, We have Samnrtaus
enough, but few good Samariluns. Had we
as many such rcyiyals MS we now have Of
what are called "religious revivals," and
many good christians come ofthese revivnls,
we would have legislature that would give
us good laws. There would he 10 license of

"a Glorious Deed"

Said Kossuth at the Pittsburgh festival
"You have conquered Mexico with handful
of your brave mcn,-and glorious deed it was"
Can it be that Kossuth is acquainted with the
history and object of this Mexican conquest
and speak of it as glorious A war commenced
upon weak and dcfcncclcss people without
provoeation and solely for plumber and the cx-
tension Of slavery; The conquests made by
Cortcs and PiEzarro, the conqucsts Of Poland
by Russia and of Hungary by Austria and her
ally-wcro honorable compared with this.
They profcssed absolutcism and conquered by
divine right. This nation profcsscd democracy
and conquered Mexico that she might EXTEND
human chattolsm over an immense territory
from from which it had been recently excluded.
Such declarations cannot fail to deprcciate the
Hungarian in the estimation Of all consistent
lovers of universal freedom. Commcndation of
war for slavery extension, is too dear price
to pay FOR muskots with which to assert Hun
garian to freedom. Truth and justice in such
cause is moro potent than bayoncts or cannon
balls. Mrs. Swisshem says that when this was
uttered the audience hung their heads. And

SLAVE TRADE IN BEGGAR CnILDEEY.-
The German authorities have lately checked
a slave trade that has been carried OH by
German spectators for some Time. The
latter have bought or hired of parents their
children, sent them To London to beg, and
live on THEN profits. A man named Stumpf
got possession of several children between
IA aud 10 years of age, by paying l6 shil-
hngs down, aud n promise Of lS0 shillings
more at the end OF two years, aud took
them to Cologne, where he received another

Its excellence as picture challenged the admi-

Indiana Negro Exclusion BM.-The bill
designed to effect the exclusion of colored
people from Indiana, was put through it's
final passage in tho Senate of that State on
the 22d ut. This bill does not directly pro-
hihlt colored persons from coming into the
State. But imposes heavy penalties upon
any white man who shall employ or feed
any colored person not citizen, of the
State ut the time of the adoption of the Con-
stitution. 1t also requires all colored per-
sons, who by the Constitution are permitted
to reside in the State, to register their names
aud carry about them a certificate of their
right TO eat and labor in the State. Indiana
is the Austria Of our northern States.

said
"Lct me cntrcat you to pray fervcntly that

famed by degrading it to an instrumcntality of
