Lecture Of the Rev. DR.. Todd.

The sixth Lecture in course was de-
livered by the Rev. JouN Topp. d. D..
Of Pittshcld, Mass, at Union Hall on
Wednesday evening last. a large ou.
dicnco was present. largest thus
far, We understand, Of the season His
subject was The Era Of Democracy"
Having been absent from town at that
time, we avail oursclf of brief synop.
sis Of this lecture from the pen of an.
other. Of course the imagery and il.
Illustrations, which formed one important
feature of the discourse. can neither be
copied nor abridged.
Il DR.. Todd said tho world was divided
into two great classcs-onc fond Of
change, risking every thing for the sake
of progress, imagining something more
beautiful in the future yet to be attain.
Cd the other more ancient in thought
and feeling, believed the present never
equal to the past, and that mon of the
present age arc mere boys in comparison
with those who had Como before them
Conservatism and democracy, were the
names Of the two great principles He
explained that he did not use tho word
democracy in the narrow and limited
sense, as Political parties do, but as com
pretending equal rights and institutions
established by tue people.
The only form of government cstab.
lishcd by God was republican. lie gave
tho Hebrews no king, no regal sccptrc
but leader only with rod in his hand
When he died his sons did not succeed
him, and it was not until after repeated
warnings that the Jews were permitted
to have king The Great Teacher
went forth proclalming Lis doctrines
wherever he pleased, and taught his fol
lowers to do the same After long PC.
i'd Of darkness We saw the democratic
principle again show itself in the dawn
of the reformation in Germany, extend
ing itself into England and Scotland.
A new star soon arose in the West. Our
Pilgrim Fathers landed on these shores
with the Bible as an unscalcd book in
their hands, in which they found THEN
Bill Of Rights. The great idea incor
poratcd into our Declaration Of Free
dom from kingly usurpation, that al
men are created with certain inalicnablt
rights, had its origin at an carlior period
than the formation Of our government
1t was first announced on Mars Hill
Though our government should prove ar
entire failure, the great principle Of re
publlcanism would 1.-Two because it wa.
derived from the Bible. God also i'm
planted it in the heart Of man. and il
would never be fully cradicatcd."

The last number of the Minnesota Pio

and progress of that town The popu

value of real estate and personal proper
ty is S723.550 as assessed for the year
1858. OF this $50 600 is invested in
saw mills, as the lumber trade forms the
most important business of the terrific
ny. There are 700 houses, and building
is going on rapidly. and it is thought
that the number will be augmented to
1000 by the opening of the spring
There are seven churches, six school
houses and three newspapers. There
are fourteen physicians and thirty four
lawyers Considering that it is but four
years since the territory was organized,
the progress exhibited By these fig
ures is really wonderful. st. Paul is,
no doubt, destined to become one of the
most important cities of the Northwest.
