The THREE THOUSAND CLERGYMEN. Ex-senator
Hannegan, in his speech in the democratic State
convention in Indiana, took occasion to speak his
mind of the three thousand Protestant clergymen
who protested to Congress against the passage of
the Nebraska bill. A certain B. F. Crazy having for
this speech denounced Mr. flanagan with making
upon temperance, Christianity, good morals,
and freedom. Mr.. flanagan replies in the news
papers, that he had denounced the clergymen
dacious and arrogant, for claiming to speak upon
the subject in the and by authority of Almighty
God. He continues:
land so it was audacious, as body of men, to
abandon the sacred of religion whose interests
alone their profession gives them in charge and step
into the of party politics, claiming the autho-
rity of his holy name to enforce their preJudices,
and trample down all opposition to their presumptu-
dctation And it was arrogant, in any and every
view of the case, for them to assert their pot
cal predictions as the revelation of Almighty God
In this free land every man who chooses to read
his Bible and holds it the highest and chetest OF his
household treasures. 1t gives no such authority to
the clergy any portion of them, as was claimed
by these gentlemen and the hour of msrule and of
ruin is at hand when the clergy of an denominato on
shall have the conceded power to enter IL dils of
legislation and the courts of justice and dictate their
proceedings.
1t was this class of men of whom spoke, and not
of those who everywhere and all over the country,
by just and proper drcharge of their ministerial
duties, commanding the respect and reverence of
the good on earth, and who feel in their own pure
and exalted hearts that their abors in this earthly
vineyard will be rewarded by crowns beyond the
reach of age or decay. No man entertains more pro-
found respect for the sincere and pious clergyman
than do no man is more willing to see him exer-
else every political right of citizen than am but
am not willing to yield to him when he enters the
political contests, the light to WELD his Makers
for his own purposes and designs
1t is quite certain that the three thousand clergy
men, by their protest. did nothing for the advance
Of religion morals, nothing that reflects hon
or themselves OF the church--thcy only add fuel
to the fires of fanaticism. Boston Post.

There is prejudice which exists against this class

the system, there were frauds perpetrated on nsur

managed at risk to those lives which shall last
long. There are, however, many companies where
a large capital, perfect honor in the managers and
thorough knowledge of the business make them

in these companies is as valuable stock in those

CL1NGMAN AND THE WING Press 1t has been
amusing to watch the course of the Wing press in
this State towards Mr.. Clingman, for the last two
years. When he took position against Scott they
opened all their batteries upon him and kept up a
discharge of broadsdos oflow slang and biingsgate
abuse, such generally heaped upon men who
inspire fear and whose arguments cannot be contro
verified. And instead of trying to meet his POSITIONS
Wing editors and orators were straightway endow-
ed with the power of dvnation and they prophecied
terrible things about him-his certain fa--his ruin
his dsgraee-his utter demolition. But, as in the
days of old, there were false prophets, speaking
'great swelling words, and only making themselves
ridiculous. Mr.. Clingman again came before The
people, and during the canvass he was denounced as
a traitor" renegade" locofoco," &c, &c.
But his constituents knew him, and they triumph
antly reelected him. Then there came change
over these editors and prophets, and they swore
right Justify that Clingman Wing, that the
main issue between him and Col. Gather was which
was the better wing, and they tried to sotOap him
and court him and win him to Federalism !; but
he went on his way, bold and Independent, turning
neither the right to the left scorning the syc-
ophancy of his former trdaucerS, and deSpsing the
low, mean, trucking spirits whom craven fear had
brought to his feet. He read them book,
through them, smiled contemptuously, and pursued
his own course.
Now, knowing Gen. Dockery as he does-his high
federal notions his sueserviency to Northern Adolf
tionism and his unfitness for Office Mr.. Clngman OPP
poses him; and again the old string is struck, and
abuse, TRADE and invective hurled at him.
These are the implements Of warfare for modern
Whggery, and they are well understood that they
are harmless They cannot affect Mr.. Clingman.
His constituents know him, the people OF the State
know him, and they will sustain him.

A POINT OF SPACE. The diameter of the earths
orbit is, it were, the pocket rule of the astr-
mer, with which he measures distances which the
mind can no more grasp, than infinity. The star
meaSurer is one hundred and ninety millions of miles
in length. This the astronomer lays down the
floor of heaven, and drawing lines from the extrem-
tiles to the nearest fixed star, centre, he finds
the angle thus subtended by this base line to be not
quite one second! By the simple rule of Three he
then arrives the fact that the nearest fixed star
81 600, 000, 600, 900.
From another simple calculation it follows that in
the space around solar system devoid of stars,
there is room in one dimension in straight
line, for II, 900 solar systems in two dimensions
in plane, there is for $50 millions of solar
systems; and in actual sdereal space of three d-
mansions, there is for 1900, OOO, 900 900, of
solar systems, the size of our own.
Nay, good father, do not look so unbelievingly
Your boy ned graduate from the district school
to prove all this. One and half million of solar
systems as large ours, might be set in the space
which divides between and its nearest neighbor.
And if We might assume the aggregate population
Of solar system to be 000 900 900, then there
would be room enough for thirty thousand millions
of human beings to live, to love, and labor in the
same staress void.
Nay, good man of tow frock, hold on a moment
Logger. Our sun is but dull hazy speck of light
in the great milky way, and DR.. Herschel says he
discovered fifty thousand just such in that high
way of worlds, in space apparently yard in
breadth, and six in length. Think of that moment
and then that two of them all are probably
each other than twenty billions of miles; and then
that the starless space between their solar systems
might contain 50U, 600, 000,0 900 of similar systems
Multiply these spaces and these systems by hun
dred millions, and you will have numbered the
worlds that powerful glass opens to your view,

three billion trillions of human beings who might
dwell in peace and unity in that point of space

WHAT IS LAGER BIER? To this oft repeated in
quiry, the N. Y. Journal of Commerce replies:
Lager bier is matted liquor originally made in
Bavaria in essential properties identical with ordin-
airy ale, which it closely resembles in appearance,
though differing in taste; of much less specific grav-
ty ; weaker, and retaining its foam a shorter time
after being drawn. Its taste is subacid, pungent,
and leaves in the mouth peculiar flavor, caused by
coating of pitch which the interior of the barrels
receive before being filed The difference between
the modes of brewing lager-bier and ordinary ale is
indicated by the etymology of the name Lager
