Young Catholics Friend Society of this CITY.
on night before last, at Odd Fellows Hall, was
attended by quite as large an auditory az
that very spacious hall will contain. His
subject was The Books of Moses, their con
tents and inspiration" The theme was pre-
etsely suited to his pathos and peculiar bril-.
lianey of thought, and his great eruditon as
theological scholar We need hardly add
that all came away charmed with the intellec-
tual treat his lecture afforded.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Mr.. Seward vas called upon last week, at
Albany, to make a speech in regard to the
Republican organization. 1t was a grind
effort, and we extract from it the following
capital conclusion:
$50 long as the Republican party ,hall be
firm and faithful 20 the Constitution, the Un-
ion and the Rights Of Man, shall serve it,,
with the reservation of that personal inde-
pendenc ce which is my birtbright, bu, at the
same time, with the zeal and devotion that
patriotism allows and enjoins. do not know
and personally do not greatly care, that it
sh III greatly work ont its great ends this year
or the next, or in my lifetime; because |
know that those ends are ultimately sure, land
that time and trial are the elements which
make all great reforma,ions sure and lasti ng
have not thus far lived for personal ends or
temporary fume, and shall not begin SO late
to live or lab r for them. have hoped that
I night leave my country somewhat worthier
Of lofty destiny, and the rights Of human
nature somewhat safer. A responsible am
btion must always be satisfied with sincere
and practical endesvors. If among those
who shall come after us, there shall be any
curious inquirer who shall fall upon a name
SO obscure a mine, he shall be obliged to con-
Tess, that however unsuccessfully | labored
for generous ends, yet thatI nevertheless was
ever faithful, ever hopeful"

THE Dis rINGUISHiNG GENIUS OF
The AGE

Nature, now and then. brings forth such
gen;uses As Newton, Shakespeare, Tale, rand,
Milton, Nelson, Napoleon, Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, Luther, Cromwell and
Jackson. Their powerful intellects COM
PEELED the world to admire them.
The genius OF the present age is DGscov-
AIRY. In the progress of the arts and sciences
this age is immeasurably superior to any
former one. The present century stands
pre-cminent for it's wonderful hiscoveries in
the sciences aud arts. Among these, the
noble science of Medicine has made great
progress. PROF. HOLLOWAY has discovered
and prepared remedy for the diseases o.
man in whatever cline destiny may have
given him birth. We huye, in former ar
ticla, introduced TO our readers this disting.
uished physician, whose reputation is already
engraft ed on the worlds history. AS phy-
sician, she has copied Nature, and amoug
physic0ns, he stands the acknow edged En-
peror. Both in the sale OF his medicines and
in the number of patients that have taken
them, he is unrivalled. Prof. Holloway has
labored to supply the human family with a
permanent remedy for their diseases, to which
tnt nave TtCouTSe Win HOFut
certainty that they will be cured. There is
no disease to which they will not afford re-
lief. His Pills and Ointment, prepared from
selections from the vegetable kingdom, with
great care, will drive disease out of the sys-
TEN. Thousands of the most intelligent
minds OF all nations. men distinguished in
every sphere Of life-.he statesman, philan-
thropist, conquerer. and those whose highest
aim Is to do good t. their fellow men, unite
in their praises of the remedies discovered by
Prof Holloway for the removal OF disease.
In uniting in this general recommendation n
of the remarkable virtues of Holloway's re-
med es we only perform a Christian duty,
which the press should never neglect. Those
who are eminent for tho good they do in the
world, have Just claim upon The press for
aid in extending the good to the extent Of
their power Therefore. we have oeternin-
ed to express oLr opinion that HoLsowAY's
Pills anc OINTMENT are adopted to the re-
nova of disease, and have restored millions
of the sick to health. -Nep York Atlas.

ANOTHER h. r. MASSACRE,

The heart grows sick while recording
such far(ul murders as the following
They are becoming awfuly frequent, and
somebody is most certainly to blame.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 2.-The excursion train
consisting of ii cars which left kere YES
terday morning for Jefferson City, on the
occasion of The opening OF the Pacific r
r 10 that point, met with one OF the
most horrible accidents on record. While
crossing Gasconads river, about one hun.
dred miles from this city, the bridge gave
way precipita'!ng the engine and ten care
a distance OF 90 TO 80 feet. Upwards o!
seven hundred persons were on the train
among whom were many of our frat and
most influential citizens. As far as sscer-
taiued, we have no full accounts from the
scene, 30 were killed outright, and be-
tween 40 to % badly wounded. AmoIp
the killed is Thomas O'Sulliyan, engineer
of the road, who was on the locomotive
at the time, and several Of our most promi.
nent citizens. Fortunately there were no
water where the bridge broke, else the
number drowned would have been immence.
A train is expected to arrive from The
bridge this evening when we hope to learn
the full extent Of the accident.
The following is list Of the mos.
prominent persons killed.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The organization of the next Congress
may, in all probability, turn upon the qucs-
tion Of the admissiun of Reeder or Whitfield
os delegates to seat in that body. Not
only this, but we think the question of Free
dom or slavery in Kansas will be most ma
terially affected by that issue. Should Whit
field be allowed seat in tim. body, it will
be regarded az most signal triumph of Slav.
cry, not only on the soil of Kansas, but in
the Americon Congress, before the world
and freedom will be crushed in Kansas. Blu,
on the contrary, should Gov Reeder be re-
ceived as the legitimately elected delegate
Kansas may from that moment be enrolled
as free State. The South feels this, ant
the superhuman efforts she will make to OBJ
tain the next Speaker will prove that she
looks upon that as her only salvation.
The office of Speaker of the House o. Re
presentatves IN Congress is one Of immens,
influence g. power The Speaker has the sntir,
control in the appointment Of all standin.
committees, VIII ich is generally manoeuvre,
to accrue to the advancement of the interest,
Of the party in power. For instance, in tn,
appointment Of all important committees h,
puts on majority, say sir of his friends. ant
three of his opponents. BY doing this in the
committees on Ways g. Means, Territories
Elections, Judiciary, Naval, Military, Indian
Foreign Affairs, Public Lands, Pos, Office
&c &c, the Speaker controls to a great ex.
tent the entire business of the session. II
is only through standing Committees tha,
business can be regularly brought before the
House, and anything distastefu. to the Speak.
er or his friends will find Its tomb among the
tabled documents of the committee room.-
With knowledge Of all these things before
us we may look for long and fierce battle
at the commencement of the next session
IN the election Of Speaker. In this contes,
the North has a very decided advantage in
numbers. but she should remember that she
has a willy foe 10 deal with, and if defeated
it will be by stratugem. The South may at.
tempt to bring forw:rd some other issue, and
thus distract the Northern force by arousing
their old preiudices, and exciting them to re
new ancient ieuds, 5ut they must not waver
The interests OF the North demand that the
Anti-Nebraska force must be unite |, and
stand firm in the fight, or they are defeated
BY minority. Let them unite on good
man for speaker, one in whom there can be
nc lack Of back bone, aud the day is ours.

to an editor referred to last week as having
deserted the American ranks only n week be.
fore the election, and gone over to the old
bunker, anti-Americah party. We referred,
our readers are no doubt aware; to the form
or editor of the Republican. Our nforma-
ton was derived from gentleman who had
heard the editor say that he was going to a
certain place to take charge of au old line
Democratic paper. On being rallied as to
his inconsistency he excused himself by say
ing that it would pay better than the Repub-

OF Senator WADE.
at will be remembe red that it has been
customary in Congress, to bully, to insult
to overawe every man who breasts himse If
against the almos. overwhe lining influence
of the slave power at Washington. With
a dasta ardly meanness, that power creeps
into the social circle, and seeks to mortify
and to ostraciss tho bold and honest advo-
cate Of truth. Unawed by ary of the
numberless and ingenious methods of in.
suit an opposition IN vogue at the seat
of government, Mr.. Wade has remained
firm and nhexible.
MIR. Wade, with twelve others. in a con-
test that for violence and disregard for the
decencies of debate, the rules of order, &
observance of justice, has never been
equaled, stood by his constituents with a
Roman fortnude. On an arena where
great and accomplished men and yielded
to the seduction of place and threats Of
power, he was firm apd unyeiIding, neither
surrendering morally nor physically, nor
where towards and traitors
were plenty"
