OHorace Greeley has written a letter to
the editor of the Christian Ambassador, in
which he declares his views upon religion to
be those entertained by the Unitarian Resto-
rationists. After saying that he is now at
tached to the society OF the Rev. Mr.. Chaplin
he adds:
And believing the ordinance of the Lords
supper, as now celebrated among US, fear
full impeachment to the progress and triumph
of the principle of total obstinance from oil
that can intoxicate, | have for some time
past felt it my duty to abstain from il await
ing and hoping for the day when christians OF
every name sh all realize that the blood of our
Saviour is not truly represented by the COM
pounds of vile and poisonous drugs commonly
sold here as wine, nor yet by any liquid es-
sentially alcoholic. that are Intoxicating
If few more would unite in this protest, we
should soon have no other wine used in the
Eucharist than that freshly and wholly ex-
pressed from grapes-a liquid no more intox.
tcating or poisonous than new milk or toast
water; and then we shall cease to hear of re-
formed drunkards corrupted and hurled back
into the way of ruin by a vicious thirst re-
awakened at the communion table.

~ The Republican might give its rea.

the Evansville Journals articles, by copying
those upon which it comments, instead of
extracting arords to prove improperly OF

article of the Republicans to which we have

TWe notice that Democratic conven-
tons in various portions Of the Union, and
Democratic primary meetings in various por-
tons of this State, are resolving mechanical
ly, among other things, that "the strict ad-
herence by the President OF the United States
TO those great principles of constitutional
government which have received the entire
sanction Of the Democracy of the Union,
and the checks which he has interposed upon
the legislation at war with those principles
by his veto, assure Us that. under his adj
mnistration, the country viii. be secure"
&C., &c. We are curious to know what
those great principles of constitutional gov
eminent are which have received the entire
sanction of the Democracy of the Union, and
beneath whose protecting shadow the country
is TO rest secure. Will some Ingenious
Democrat have the kindness to enlighten
us!
The leading events of the Pierce Admins
tration, thus far, have been the equitable
division of the spoils among the several fac
tions OF the party, which estranged the entire
National Democracy-the passage Of the Me-
braska bill, which was Indignantly repudiat-
ed by the entire sectional Democracy--the
veto of the INDECENT Insane land bill, which
disguised every liberal Democrat in the ma
tion-the veto of the River and Harbor bill,
which outraged the sentiments and convic-
tons of every Democrat in the West--and,
finally, the veto of the French Spoiation bill,
against which loud and bitter Democratic
anathemas are still resounding throughout
the country. II the President has shown a
"strict adherence to great principles of con-
stitutional government" he must have shown
it in some one or all of these measures, and
yet every one of them has been secuted con-
ltemptuously by certain portions of "the
Democracy of the Union" The probability
is, that the various Democratic conventions
and primary assemblies, that are unanimous
ly" resolving the above absured rigmarole,
are acting from the sheer force of habit, like
those invincible Democrats in obscure parts
of the country who are said to be still voting
for Jackson, and cheering him on agans,
the National Bank Lou. Jour.
