Blackwood and the Reyiewr

We do not know how any reading
man can get along without lhescinval-
liable publications. Afler having
once tried them, we are sure they
would be found indispensable. For
ten dollars a year, the subscriber gets
1000 pages Of reading matter. and
this Is but part of the consideration
The quality Of the stuff is pre-emi-
nen,ly good. The labors Of the fin
est and best stored intellects are plac-
ed at the command Of the reader, and
IN comparatively small compass, the
whole field of contemporaneous re-
search and progress in History, Biog-
raphy. Natural Science. Metaphysics,
the Arts, and Literature, is brought
within sight. All the books publish
ed in this prolific age cannot be read
by any one man. but in this micro
cosm a sufficient knowledge Of their
contents can be acquired.

THE DIFFERENcE.-Under the inn
posing head Of "Voters, 10 your
Posts" the Boston Pilot, a Catholic
paper, uses the following language
"Vote only for Mr.. Beach. the Demo
cratic candidate" and yet neither the
Enquirer nor Sentinel nor Jacksonidn
has uttered word of disapprohation,
II is all right for Catholic priests to
urge their disciples to vote for Demo
Gratis, and for Episcopal priests to OPP
pose prohibition. but if DR.. Elliott OIL
any other protestant editor had said
half that much. he would have been
branded as traitor, hypocrite, liar,

We have often alluded to the an
Itagonism Of the old line party to
the Protestant churches. We shall
not stop to enquire into the cause, but
we notice one important fact connect
ed with the present state Of parties.--
In 1859. according TO the best inform
alton we have. Eve seventies Of the
Methodist preachers in this county vo-
ted the democratic ticket. Now there
is not one in the county that votes
the old Inc ticket, or sympathizes
in the least with its movements =
At that time about the same proper.
ton Of the laymen. at least four-sev-
enths voted for Pierce, now there are
not, to the best of our knowledge,
thirty Methodists in the county who
hold with the old line party. We
know only Is, Of these DR.. Clifford is
the only one who is a recent convert
to the party. and he is only attached
toit because. his profits as liquor
seller. in his drug store, have been cut
off by the prohibitory law, and that
party promises to restore them if i
gains the ascendency. S
Nearly the same is true of all Protest
ant churches. We do not know that
as large a proportion Of the Presby-
terrain preachers voted for Pierce, but
we are sure that there is not more
than one, if that, now in the county,
who would vote oract with the party
that claims to be Democratic. Among
the !aymen Of that church. we know
Of but three old liners. There may
be dozen, but we do not believe
there are over eight in the county.
and among these, as among the adj
herring Methodists. there are some who
have the promise of Office, in due
course of time. 8 satise 4st.
Among the AntiMeans Baptists,
larger proportion of those who were
Democrats in 1852. have joined the old
liners. Among the Missionary Bap'
lists the result is about as with
the Presbyterians and Mcthodists, very
few are willing TO join the old line
party, though many were demo-
Gratis in the days of that party. The
same is true Of the Uniyersalists. And
nearly to the same extent have the
Lutherans refused to identify them
selves with that party. though il has
done its best to court their infiuenc,
and votes. on the score OF their being
foreigners. Among those who read
English, and have any considerable
intercourse with the other protestant
Christians, large numberfhave refus
ed to lend theirinauence TO the party
that claims to be Democratic. But fol
the prejudice that old liners have ar
rayed against the Republican party
in relation to foreigners, these would
be found with their brother Protes
tants, on the issues that are now be
fore the people. The above state 0
facts is nearly the same all over thu
State, and we merely allude to then
as phenomenon in politics that wa
never known before in our history. l
is not difficult to account for it. see
ing that that party has set itsel
against Protestants Of all denomina
tons.

The Clergy and the Prohibitory Law.


The Church Journal. the ablest or.
gan of the Epispiscopal Church. edit
ed by John IL. Hopkins, jr., SON Of
Bishop Hopkins, OF Vermont, assist.
ed by several other Episcopal lergy-
men. has published striking article
on the folly and fanaticism Of the pro-
hibitory law. 1t argues that every
thing is good If used in moderation;
that the aim and end Of its supporters
is bad one; that il is folly in the ex-
treme to attempt to remedy evils Of
excess by forbidding altogether the
moderate use Of things that of them
selves are productive of benefits; that
the wine used at the supper table in
Cana. Of Galilee. and all other wines
mentioned in the Scriptures, were in
toxicating. and that the ban of the Al
mighty rested not upon their use, but
their abuse; that wine-drinking is not
the worst Of social evils. but { as we
have often said,) gluttony far exceeds
IL; that it is nonsense to prohibit bad
liquors to the healthy and allow them
TO the sick. DC. The Church Journal
deals severe blow. Its article will
shock the fanatics; bu! the argument
is marked by sterling good sense
throughout.-Gn. Enquirer.
It's all right for a "clergyman" to
deal in "strong blows" and his views
