originated-which party has acted up
on the Christian principle of =" forbear
ance," or from what quarter the at.
tact has been made; sufficient fol-
present purposes is the fact, that war.
fare is now waging; out of which a
new order Of things must certainly
come. Christianity as now preached,
is no longer governed by the precept,
of its great founder; its ministry is
composed of wrangling politicians who
take "orders, to obtain an influence
in society, they could not otherwise
command; and seek to WELD tyrani-
cal power under the specious pretext
Of Divine authority. This condition
presages another great revolution re-
formation if you will, that must
place society another step forward to.
wards the solution Of the problem of
human existence.
Entirely futile is the doctrine that
reason is fallacious that the only
light for our guidance. must come
through the ministry, which, as a gen.
eral thing, is composed of men, of very
inferior mental mark whose example
stands out in bold contradiction of
what they teach the people. The
sectarian press is fastening on the cri-
sis, when all the conflicting elements
of church and state, will have culmi-
mated for the great social earthquake
that is to follow. Each sect has it's
organ, as has each party; and what is
the INSCRIPTIONS warfare for; if it be
not place and power? Certainly it
is not to convince the world that the
practice of virtue. is necessary to hap
piness; if it we're; less torcible means
would be resorted to, to accomplish
the object. The precept that IMAM
through man, is prone to evil, us be-
ginning to be understood, and the
odium cast upon the character of his
Maker, by man. is being removed
The doctrine Of original sin, is an
allcgory which the light ofprogressive
intelligence fully explains. 1t has
served its purpose. and will socn be
sent to rest with other doctrines that
have in their time been necessary to
lead society onward and upward.
What say the reasoning portion of
mankind in reference to thd6modern

The N. Y, Tribune appears to be
a good deal worried by couple of
items-one that Senator Wilson gets
his living by making brogans for
southern slaves-and other, that SEN
ator Summer receivs the polite a'ten-
ton of prominent citizens in the slave
States. What maddens the Tribune
is, that Summer can travel in the slave
States without being lynched. 1t
gIoa's over the failure of Mr.. Hoar's
mission to Charleston, and will roll
that "outrage' as a sweet morsel un-
der its tongue as long as it can wag it.

The U. S. Attorney General rules.
that masters of American vessel can
not lawfully discharge seamen in for

Consul. 2. That it does not help the
matter to allege that the seamen con-

or are not Americans-of all that, it
is for the Consul to judge.

only possible objection that can be
urged against him for the Office, is,
that he represents the young Amer

PARTS OF New YoRK SrArEs.-h
some portions Of New York Stale I
census just taken showes fallfpa
in the population. In fifteen u
twenty-five towns Of Chautauque cou
ty the falling off is FIVE hundred FROM
1850, seven towns showing a loss and
the remainder a gain. In one town,
Sheridan, the loss is nearly 600. In
other, counties of the State similar
cases are noticed, but it is believed
that when the result throughout tho
State is obtained it will show a con-
siderable gain. A tendency ofpopu-
lation to cluster about the large places
is more prominent than ever before.

press his honest convictions on any
subject on which he may have occas-
sion to speak. A man who is mere
echo Of some leading politican-some
distinguished divine. or some shrewd
financier- whose religious sentiments
are the sentiments of bis church-his
political views fac simile of his par
ty organ-who listens with open
mouth and glaring eyes to those whom
incident has elevated recuniarly, a
little above himself not daring to ut.

coincide with that coming from such
a source, may find appropriate spheres
