THE MERCEYARY AND MERCILEss SPIRIT OF ADO
LITIONIsM.


Every northern who votes for the Nebraska bin
cording the New York Tribune sold himself to the
SHAREHOLDERS will paid for his vote by an appoint
ment under the general administration This is character
sc Of the mcrcenary of party that processes pety
in its upon the South and then making Of
its clumnies others by It's own selfish stand
ard This is the spirit which pervades the indecent and
proane remarks upon the speech Of Mr. Macdonald from
Maine, printed few days ago in the Tribune We read
abolition mirror in this vile vituperuon its scorn
Of God its hatred of man. created IN the likeness Of God
its contempt for religion its defiance Of human law its
passion for SANDER It's proclSty to fsehood its fierce
resentmens against society and the base Of ALL that
sordid appetite for money which, the columns of the
Tribune almost daily testify leaves character unbasted
hearth-stone unsticken ago and unsander-
ed in its remorseess search after its filthy food That
there and women who read in the pages
Of such paper, is the shame OF great city; and
that such wretches recommend the burning Of the Cap
itol and the murder Of American senator's and after
wards poutc the sacred Sabbath with their false pray
the Great Power whose very existence they question
in their weekday baspbemie should control its columns
and grow rich in their pollution Is the shame Of great
nation like Such a Moses Macdonald s to
such lie through The Tribune what gentleman i

whisper their compliments through white lips when they
stand in his presence,
Constitutional men IN The North have duty perform
that requires nerve patriotism and steadsnes to prnci-
pie; and they win find their ennoblng reward not in the
smiles Of power hut in the gratitude that wells up from
the great heart Of the and o. fifteen Statesof

TIE SPIRITS IN CONGRESS.

The dcvotees Of "Spiritualism" arc circulating
a Memorial to Congress, asking the appointment
of Scientific Commission TO scrutinizc the alieg-
ed phenomena of Rapping, Writing, Table Nov
ing, Music-playing, Phosphorcscent Illumination,
movement of ponderabe bodies without the inter
position of visible agency, &c. &C., which are oc-
curing throughout the country. The memorial
states that some of the gncrs suppose these phc-
nomcna TO he produced by the spirits of departed
human beings while others ''cntertain the opinion
that the acknowledged principles of physics and
metaphysics will enable scientific inquiries to ac-
count for all the facts in rational and scientific
manner" But ''they beg leave, most respectfully,
TO assure your Honorable Body that they never
thcless most cordially concur in the opinion that
tie alleged phenomena do really occur and that their
mysterious origin, peculiar nature, and important
bearing on the interests of mankind demand for
them patient, thorough, and scientific investiga-
ton"
The n. Y. Tribune thinks this challenge of the
"Spirtualists" frank and gallant, but thinks Co l.
gress ought not to grant the prayer, as Congress
has no right to make such appropriations and as
il costs ten times much for Congress to do a Job
as it does for any body else TO do it. 1t does all
this facctously, and therein do not like it. The
Tribune was in favor appropriations to DIR. Page,
to investigate the motive power of electro magnet
ism. 1t is just right for Congress to investigate
one branch of science as another
We like the idea Of the memorial and if Con-
gress would put into the hands offrendly sctentfc
men, we should be glad to see it do SOD.
