~ A writer in the New York Church
journal, speaking Of the spirit that character
ICES much Of the preaching Of the present day,
says, We run no risk in saying that, during
the present season, this redoubtable Nebraska
business has, in some thousands of pulpits,
furnished more materials for preaching-so
called-than all the Four Evangelists put to-
gether; and the gaps in Nebraska eloquence
have been filled mainly by copious infusions
of the Maine Law - Is it any wonder, then,
that our religious conferences report, at all
their recent meetings, amazing sterility on re-
vival ground 1t would be an interesting
question to ascertain how long it would take
TO convert the world at the rate converts are
made TO the gospel faith under the present po-
ltical preaching Of the day.

C. We observe that in his account of the
disaster in Boston harbor, Capt Stone of the
Canada, says nothing as 10 which side Of the
Ocean the laws Of the sea required him to pass
Capt. Donovan's point is that the Ocean was
sailed according to maratime law, whereas.
had he deviaIed from that, he (Donovan,)
would have been responsible for the whole
disaster. Il is as if two carriages met at the
angle Of the street, and the one undertook 70
pass the other by turning towards The left,
would be contrary 10 all rule. Il il is proved
that the Canada did not observe the law regula-
ting steam vessels, nor Immediately stop when
the captain saw he could not pass on the prop
er side, the foreign company will have the
damages 10 pay.
The owners Of the Ocean have libeIled the

Coon AND MORE OF IT.-.This is the way
to put it to the fusionsts In the sixth con-
gress district Of Illinois, HAMS, Nebraska
democrat. has 2O4 majority over Yates, wing,
who was chosen two years ago by 43O MAORI
ty. The net gain to the democrats is there
fore 634 votes. This is so plain that any
child can comprehend it, and DIR. Bowdtch,
if he were alive, couldn't cipher out any other
result The voters of the district have turned
out the anti-Nebnska wing member, and put
in his place democratic member. We are
heartily glad of it, and if the fusonists dislike
the result they are at liberty TO comfort them
selves with any sort Of comparisons they
please. We are satisfied with the gain made
by the democracy of the 9th district of Illinois.

The New York Erening Post publishes letter from its

the authorship Of the celebrated reply Of Mr. Webster to
Cheyaler Huisemann, the Austrian Charge dAaires in
1850. We do not know what authority the wrer-a
bitter abolitionst II may be addedhas for his aver
ments on the subject, but give them find them
with the omission only of the tremendous excitement

imagination only.
If there be any trutk in this the public will doubt
be in possession OF the facts. We win only add
that there passages In the Husemann letter which
thoroughly and Enthusiastically Webserian that Mr.
Everett could have given utteance to them than
Mr. Webster could have originated certain passages in Mr.
Eyerett's addresses.
Further admitting the framework and partial filling
