Naught is there in the universe, spiritual or mate

Mr.. BENToS's SpEECH.--We occupy considerable

could not perhaps occupy it better 1t exhibits the
position of a man who would be honorable among
his peers, and vindcoting that honor in case
where shallow tricksters would sacrifice il for an
imagined advantage. lie most graphically and
conspicuously presents the facts Of the question
and most effectively annihilates every argument
scraped up by the congressional conspirators for
their justification. lie compels every one to see
that they arc mere false pretenses--but not moro
false than absurd and ridiculous -"nonscnsc-"
quintesceneo Of nonsonso""he FIVE times distilled
quintescencc of political nonsensicaity." Who
ever will read this brief exposure Of these pretcnces
for justification will see that he has characterized
them truly.
And what rcbuko was that old mans presence
in that Hail. uttering those scathing words to the
Northern services with whom he was surrounded
True, he did not bestow upon them many words
But they struck none she less deeply for that

with composuro tho thirty pieces Of silver" the
reward of his iniquily, which tho women of Ohio
so appropriately sent him. The burning in ef6gy,

this. No wonder there was an effort to gag the old

PENNSYLVANIA YEARLY MEETING OF
PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS.

This Association will convene for mutual help
and edifcatOn, and for the discharge of its appro-
pirate dutiss rs n religious body in tile nesting
house ut 0ld Kennett, Chester County, on First
day, the 2lst of Fifth month 1854, at III o'clock,
A. NJ, and continue by adjournments from day to
day as long as necessity may require.
Crccd-making forms part of the objects of
this Society. Disclaiming all ecclesiastical au-
thorty and avoiding the tangled controversies by
which the popular churches are pcrplexed aud be-
wildercd, it seeks to unite mankind not by agree
ment in theological opinions, hut through oneness
of spirit in respect to the practical duties of life
the communion of soul with soul in common
love Of the beautiful and true, and common as
piraton after moral excellence. Its platform is
broad and comprehensive. 1t invites the co-ope-
ration Of all who recognize the Equal Brotherhood
Of tho Human Family, without regard to sect,
color or condition, and who acknowledge the duty
of defining and illustrating their faith in God, by
lives of personal purity, and works of benefcence
and charity to mankind.
The name of Friends" was adopted in no tech
nical or narrow sense, and with no intention that
the Society should be identified with or limited by
tuo VI olucT ussoclNllOnsi
but in tho broad, primary and comprehensive
meaning of the word, as it was employed by Jesus
when he said 81 have called you .(riends'-"Yc
are my friends, if ye do whatsoever l command
you"
| We therefore affectonntely invite all sincere in
quirers after truth, who may be attracted by the
principles Of our organization, and who, weary Of
the srifes of Sect are looking for higher and purer
manifestations of the religious sentiment to meet
with at the time above specified and to give us
the benefit of their counsel and cooperation.

PRESIDENTIAL PIErY.-The Now Hampshire Pat.
riot has lengthy article the piety Of President
Pierce. Twice a day." the Patriot says, "he
regularly attends public worship, when no Prcsi-
dent was ever known to attend but once" What
a blessed thing it is to have a pious Presdent-A
regular go-to-mccting, prayerful chief magistrate,
who thinks so much of outward religious worship.
He goc1 to meeting fcice q day He has, therefore,
just double the piety Of Washington. How long
his prayers are, the Patriot doesn't state but we
don't belere that by actual measurement, they
would be found to exceed in length those which
distinguished the Pharisccs Of eighteen centuries
ago. Those praying old heroes cannot be outdone
by any modern republican President either in the
dimensions of their prayers, or their phylactcres
or the length Of their iaces.-Rho3e Island Free
man.
Well, il our modern Pharisees cannot out-prny
the ancient ones certainly they excel them in de
vouring widows houses.' We do not recolect
anything in the history Of the ancient hypocrites
which cquallcd the exploits of our moderns in this
line.
