mechanical life, it's deductions are wholly irrele-
want.
We can conceive how the social system OF the
south, if it were made legal one entirely, de-
termined by public laws, instead Of being simply
an arbitrary one, left to the determination OF
individuals might be vastly improved to the
benefit of both blacks and whites. But we do
NOT understand The Standard as prophesying such
an Improvement We are not aware that any
man at the South contemplates proposing 1t; all
the arguments about il and all the defence OF 1t
that we have ever seen regard its present state
rs final and conclusive; and it is in reference TO
slavery as i. is, not in reference to the re-
lations Of the black and white races as they
MIGHT be made. that we have discussed the
question. 1t is Slavery, as it 1.-THE armed DULLES
of Missouri wish to carry into Kansas; it is Slay-
cry, as it IT, that the whole South wishes to ex-
tend; il is Slavery, as it is, that paralyzes the
arms of the General Government and turls the
politicians of the North into poltroons and
sneaks.
Or if The Standard means something else than
the Slavery now existing in the Southern States
we should like TO know what it is. We so cor
daily agree with its praises of "nataral or
"ganism of society" that perhaps we might
consent TO adopt its ideal, if it were precisely
described. At present the social system of the
South exhibits d total absence of "natursl or
"pani. IN or, we might add is fragrant ont
rage of nature. Every organization Of nature is
2 thorough and harmonious adjustment of the
whole to the parts and the parts to the whole,
Grabbing it to produce the most effective results
by the greatest economy of means. But Slavery
is no adjustment of means to ends at all-ro
organization whatever, but simply vague and
desultory application of force to the industry OF
a particular race. It is in this aspect that it is
defe nded by Southern Statesmen and newspa-
pers, and il is this aspect of it which renders it
so abhorren. to the conscience and reason of the
whole civilized world, with the exception of the
small cotton0cracy.
Let the South, however, cease to defend it in
this respect let it come out and say al once that
it's present state is not fnality, but transit
ton to something better, that the rights of the
blacks as men will be recognized, and a social
system gradually adopted which shall open to
them some prospect beyond hopeless and
rene diless bondage, and it would soon cease to
incur the reprobation of mankind. We are GER
tain tina. our convictions against Slavery are az
strong as those of anybody upon earth, but we
are alse sure that the consideration which
chiefly gives them intensity and strength is the
reckless and selfish spirit in which Slavery, as
il is, is maintained as permanent cOndi-
ton Of society Could we discover any
germ of amelioratiOn in it, or any disposition
among the whites to lessen its atrocities and
modify its evils, we should most likely, in COM
mon with the rest of the world, feel an abated
opposition.

CHRIsTYs MNsTRELs.-This band of singers, so
popular in New York, appears to have taken our
play-goers by storm, for no one expected that it
would have been far superior in all points to any
one of the numerous corps that have preceded it.
We all knew MURPHY, and knew that he was
a singer of much sweetness and great popularity,
hitherto "ike a star in the darkest night, he has
stuck fiery of, indeed" in whatever company he
has appeared; but he is now in band ofhis equals
all strive for supremacy, and in this generous
rivalship the public derives the great advantage
When we admit the general equality Of all, it
msysappear invidious to speak loudly in praise of
any one nlember; but we are obliged to mentions
in terms Of high appreciation, the sweet tones of
Mr.. GoULDs voice, and his admirable execution on
the guitar, of which instrument, we told, he is
professor and one Of the best players in the coun-
try. Dir. RAYNER has a fine bass voice, which he
uses with great judgment, and which would have
secured the rapturous encore of the beautiful song
"Toll the Bell for Lilly Dear, had not the Manager,
in mercy to his company, especially desired that no
song should be encored.
BIRCH is funny dog, and keeps every one in
broal gin. He is neat but humorous, and does
not have half songs enough to please bis hearers.
The choruses and operate pieces are very well
executed and the precision with which all is done,
shows that the whole performance is under the
charge Of persons who have skill in music and
taste in adapting it TO the public wish.
We can hardly say that we are judges Of the
dancing which we admit to be very grotesque, nor
Of the plantation sports as exemplifed in life
among the lowly. We remarked that the people
laughed consumodly, and we thought were pleased.
We learn from the bills, that to night there is an
entire change Of performance and that buresque
opera will be performed, in which extravagantimi-
tations Of GRIsT and MARIO will be introduced.
This kind Of entertainment created great sensa-
ton in New York, for the imitation Of the style of
these great singers is said to be immense, and we
have no doubt that the fame Of It will draw crowds

jects of this Association we suppose TO be the same
as those of similar associations Of the Old school
or Allopalhic Physicians which are to elevate the
standard and give more general responsibility to
their profession to have the mutual benefit of their
indie idual experiences and to create standard Of
public opinion among themselves, which will ena-
tie them to frown down and excemmuncate a

After dinner the committee on Education report
ed. From their report we gather the following
facts. There are in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church 10 male colleges, 2 female colleges. The
illogical schools, and 10 Academies and Semin-
aries with 60 instructors, 1894 students, SO The
illogical students, and property to the amount of
$50, 200, and an misunderstanding toSl2s,soo.
These numbers are supposed by the committee to
be below the actual facts. They had good reason
to congratulate the Assembly, that 30 much had
been done by the denomination, for the cause of
education, within the As years since its origin, and
they were cheered by the prospect that what had
now been done was but the beginning of what would
yet be done.
The committee on missions made report which
was laid on the table till Monday. The commit
tee on Publication made report, which was ex-
tensively discussed, but finally adopted. al
The Assembly then adjourned till Monday NOR
