A Grievous National Wickedness.

When we consider how happy we are in
this country, how abundantly supplied with
all the means and resources that contribute to
sustenance, how we'll taken care of at home
how respectable abroad, how fortunate in our
State and municipal governments, and how
united as one people by the Constitution
which was formed by the patriots and sages
of better days-when we remember these
things, how we marvel at the great wicked
ness of those vile fanatics and unprincipled
demagogues who disturb our peace and menace
our Union on account of the negroes of the
South. Their iniquity is great and crying
These incendiaries do not complain of any
burdens imposed on them, of any expressions
by which they are crushed, but they complain
that negroes, whom their very ancestors
brought here and sold to Southern men, are
held in servitude; negroes. who, in the main,
are contented with their lot, and who abhor
an Abolitionist asthey do an evil spirit.
If these men who are seeking to break down
all our institutions, and dissolve our Union,
because of the bondage of the African race,
were actuated by humanity, there would b,
some excuse for them. But humanity has
nothing to do with their movements They
maltreat and oppress the free negroes among
them, and leave them to wallow in the mire
Vi ueS iauaioh, anu W pef'sn III the pangs OF
hunger. The very negroes that they steal,
and make heroes of, are cast aside the mo-
ment they cease to be novelties
When we calmly contemplate the wanton
mischief that these men cause, the agitation
they get up. the sectional antagonism they
cause, and the great perils that they menace
us with, we wonder at the great wickedness
of man. Surely if great crimes call for great
punishments, their punishment, like that, Of
Cain, will be more than they can bear. May
the curse fall on them. ano not ON the coun-

ANEcDoTE OF WAsHINGTos.--On certain
occasion, Gen. Washington invited a number
of his fellow officers to dine with him. While
at the table, one of them uttered an oath.
The General dropped his knife and fork in a
moment, and in his deep undertone and char
acteristic dignity and deliberation. said: .
thought that we all supposed ourselves gen
tlemen He then resumed his knife and
fork, and went on as before The remark
struck, like an electric shock, and as was in
tended, did execution, as his remarks, in such
eases, were very apt to do. No person swore
at the table after that. After dinner the Off
Ger referred to remarked to his companion that
if the General had struck him over the head
with his sword, he could have borne it, but
the home thrust which he gave him was too
much 1t was too much for a gentleman. 1t
is hoped that it will be teo much for any one
who pretends to be gentleman.

that their member GEO. S. KING, was last fall

For the Washington Sentinel,


Messrs. EDIToRs / notice it is proposed to
hold Musical Convention is this city, "so
soon as the necessary arrangements can be
completed !" and having attended similar con
ventions elswhere, and observed their salutary
influence upon the cause Of music generally,
and upon church music particularly, propose
TO briefly comment upon the advantages of such
associations, as they have fallen under my own
observation.
1t cannot be denied that music is a most
important auxiliary to the church, and that in
this relation it holds no secondary position.
And it will also be admitted, that this branch
of education has not received that attention,
hitherto, which its merits and Importance de-
mand. These facts are evident, and argu-
ment is not required to prove such palpable
truths.
Although these conventions can scarce be
regarded as panacea for all the ills OF the mu-
sical organization, they yet have done more to
dispel error and to disseminate truth, than any
other means which have been adopted They
have introduced uniformity in text, improve
ment in style, aud unison of effort. They
have widened the circles of musical acquain-
tance, bringing in contact minds that, but for
them, would never have met They have pro-
NOTED q generous rivalry TO attain the highest
point of excellence, and lightened the duties
that else would have been arduous indeed. In
word, what Teachers Institutes are to the
cause Of Common Schools, Musical Conven.
tions are TO the cause Of Music.
Entertaining such views, can but hope that
the proposed convention will be largely attend
ed by the choirs Of Washington, confident as ]
am that all will desire an amount Of pleasure
and information that will amply repay their
outlay of time and labor. And that this con-
vention may be the commencement of efforts
that shall not rest satisfied with less than the
highest attainments in this delightful art, is
the earnest wish Of yours, &c. GAMUT.
