AMERICAN WOMEN EXCEL IN BEAUTY AND

AMERICAN WOMEN EXCEL IN BEAUTY AND
TAsrE.-A Paris correspondent of the Port
land Journal says:
"For the satisfaction of my countrymen, /
may say that nowhere in the streets of London
or Paris can be seen larger number OF we'll
dressed men than can be met on Broadway,
New York. AS to American ladies, as far as
my observation goes, their taste in dress is as
much superior to that Of their European sis
tiers as they are also superior in physical
charms. This is no exaggeration, but philo-
sophie truth Our fair countrywomen need
not come to Paris for fashions, for they are
fully capable of making them for themselves.
French milliners will no doubt maintain their
sovereignty as long as the present charming
but cheating prestige can be kept up; yet it
seems as if elegant civilization was now sulfi.
GENTLY advanced with us for declaration OF
independence to be made. 1t may be the case
that until the finer fabrics for dress, now inn
ported in large quantities, shall be manuiac-
tured in our own country, the present slavery
to foreign fashion will be continued; but every
American must wish to see the day arrive when
the present dependence in respect to both will
no longer exist In a word, our country should
make its own laws of dress, as well as the ma
terial fabrics"

ILLEGAL APPROPRIATIONS.

The London Morning Chronicle, in an &C.
count Of the wreck of the Artic, pays COM
pliment to Captain Luce, and undertakes to
claim p as British subject, in the following
style:
"0n board the Attic, as is always the case
With commanders Of English blood, the reso-
lutte and selfpossessed conduct Of the captain
and officers adds to our maritime annals
another instance Of selfdenying heroism,
which at least equals the noblest displays OF
courage on the field ofbattle."
Truly, the egotism Of the English people is
immense. Whenever they wish to use a com.
parison to express the highest degree Of ex-
they think that they have accomplish.
ed their purpose when they say Of anything
that it rs truly English" Now, we have no
objection TO such manifestations Of selfcom.
placency, although we may smile at it; but
we do object TO the attempt Of the London
Morning Chronicle to appropriate Captain
Luce. That gentleman is a native Of Virginia,
and his selfpossessed conduct did not add
another instance Of selfdenying heroism to
the annals Of the British marine.

POLITICS AND THE GOSPEL.

The following paragraph is going the rounds
of the press:
at is estimated that the current expenses of
the churches in Boston will amount to $240 900
this year. The value of the several church es.
tates in the city of Boston is estimated at
about four millions of dollars. The expenses
of the different societies varies from 81 500 or
$500 year. The cost of public worship in
the churches occupied by the weather. portion
of the citizens, will average about 500 Sun
day. The clergyman has q salary of $4,000,
the music costs about 81 900 to 81 500 year.
The taxes on the pews vary from So to $40 a
year, according to their value"
The Presbyterian, paperoflarge circulation,
remarked, not long since, "a loyal son of New
England, gentleman and Christian of the
highest standing, whose home is now in a
different section Of the country, but who has
recently been on visit to his native region,
said in our hearing, within a few days ago,
that he did not know but that it would be
well to send some Gospel preachers to New
England that he had heard Nebraska
preached much more than the Gospel
A friend of ours was recently in Congrega-
tional church, when the pastor read from the
pulpit call for a church meeting, together
with two sets Of resolutions, the one from a
portion Of the people protesting against his
new tangled progress preaching, and the other
sustaining him in his course"
The celebrated protest Of the three thousand
New England clergymen against the passage
of the Kansas-Nebraska bill has convinced the
country that those parsons "strayed like lost
sheep from their Shepherds fold, when they
profanely attempted to control the legislation
Of Congress by their remonstrance sin the
name of Almighty God" We were always
taught to believe that the vocation of minis.
ter was Of such high and holy character as
to inspire the respect even Of those who might
not coincide with him in his theological dog.

have, by their fanaticism and impertinence,
produced such a state Of things as to lead "a
loyal son Of New England, gentleman and a
Christian Of the highest standing" to say that
she did not know but that it would be well 10
send some Gospel preachers to New England
We will merely remark that he is not alone
in this opinion. The frequent assertions o.
the "higher law doctrines" and the fatal re
suits in TIE efforts to enforce it, even TO the
overthrow Of our cherished political institu
tons, plainly show that instead Of sending
missionaries abroad to the Heather, there is q
wide field for Christian effort in the boosted

Reply Of MI. Bapst.
BANGOR, Oct. 20, 1854.

BANGOR, oct. ~, 1854.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the l 9Th instant,
together with the beautiful watch transmitted
to me by A. Hayford, esq, is received Please
accept my heartfelt thanks for your feelings of
sympathy towards me, expressed in so courte-
Gus and Hattering terms, and manifested by so
handsome present.
The strong and public rebuke you give to
the proceedings of the citizens of Ellsworth is
more than a reparation to me, as an individual,
of the outrage perpetrated on my person, and
of the offense committed against the public
feeling of this country in favor Of federation
and freedom. Although the perpetrators of
the outrage have disgraced Ellsworth by pre-
tending to act in the name of the town, yet
justice compels me to remark that in Ellsworth
there is portion of highly respectable gentle
men who, although dissenting from me in rel-
gion, not only do not approve of that insult,
but would have exposed their lives to save
mine.
AS long as this precious watch, presented by
distinguished citizens of Bangor shall remain
in my possession and how could / ever part
with it Pit will forcibly remind me that, if out
RACES can be committed in this glorious land
of liberty, there is Immediately strong public
opinion raised to reprove and punish it.
If the news Of the insult committed on
clergyman should happen to reach the country
where l was born, feel happy to say that if,
at the same time, your noble deed in my behalf
should be heard of there, it will increase the
admiration they have conceived for the spirit
of this great republic-the country of my
choice-where men are free to worship God
according to the dictates of their own con.
science.
By your manifestation, gentlemen, which
you assure me is the expression Of the public
feeling in Bangor, you have won lasting right
to my gratitude, and as long as live shall
remember with pride the liberal sentiments Of
the city Of Bangor, which so nobly has com
pensated for the Ellsworth outrage.
] am, gentlemen, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant, JOHN BAPST.

National Wings should occupy precisely the
position assumed by them at Utica, when they
bolted' the Syracuse nominations, and with
Frank Granger at their head, laid down their
memorable platform. This being agreed upon
unanimously, the next question that presented
itself was When shall We act An eminent
New York city Silver Gray counseled the
immediate publication of an address, in order
that the position assumed might exert all the
weight it was capable of upon the issues Of
the present struggle. This proposition was
voted down, and it was finally and unanimously
resolved that an address should be prepared
forthwith, setting forth in full the views and
position Of the National Wings of New York,
and that it should be circulated simultaneously
with the result of the coming election, and not
In order to interfere in any manner with the
voting.
=" do not doubt, from all this, Jat that this
class of Wings pW repudiate The Syracuse
nominations, and Mrop their Uotes in taror Of
Daniel Gilman.
"The meeting was held at Congress Hall,
and embraced the principle leading men
among the National Wings.
" forgot to say, in the proper place, that Il
'rds also resoloed upon to call a contention, 10
assemble in Albany early IN January, to rein.
state the 'Whig party on lis old platform.
"The address that will be issued will plainly
declare the principles of the Wing party, ex-
press u decided opposition to the Nebraska bill
as violation of the Missouri compromise,
stand by the Wing principles established by
the National Convention at Baltimore in 1852
and pledge the party to opposition to all pro
positions for the fusion of the Wing party
with any other for sectional party purposes,
based upon the agtations of the day.
" 1t is thought by the friends of this impor-
tant political movement, that the time for deci
sion has arrived, and that the approaching
winter will determine whether national party
shall cease to exist.
