Another Religions Crusade.

Some clerical fool, struck with the
imaginary success Of the crusade a.
gainst the Catholics, says the New
York York National Democrat, has
opened his batteries upon the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. He is In
tensely American. He proposes in a
course of lectures, to show that the
Methodist Church is hostile to cur
Republican Government, and at war
with our institutions. Price of adj
mission % cents. Let the Univer-
lsalists and Unitarians be on the look
lout. Their time will come. Some
among Us think they are worse than
the Catholics. Settle the principle
fairly and we may yet enjoy a Star
Chamber at Washington.
Of the first lecture of this clerical
fool" we havea synoptical report in
the Herald:
The argument Of the speaker was
entirely one Of critical references to
the internal constitution Of Episcopal
Methodism, which be denounced as a
system framed for the especial and
exclusive benefit Of self-constituted
and authoritative priests, lie af-
irmed that it places power in the IT,
responsible hands of the preacher
any member, however innocent of
moral criminality, being liable to ex-
pulsion, if the offender object to any
feature limiting the prerogaiyes Of
the priesthood.
These positions the lecturer en-
deavored to substantive from an ex-
animation Of the fundamental consti-
tutions of Episcopal Methodism.-
But We did not think he was eminent
Iy successful.

There is a gang Of infamous and
foolish persons in Pittsburg, who are
SO much afraid that a slave may
chance to pass through that town,
that they are IN the habit Of kidnap-
ping free negroes. Several cases Of
this kind have occurred there within
two months past. A few days since
a Mr.. Henry arrived in the city Of
smoke and insane colored persons,
with nineteen negroes, en- route fo1
the Northern part of Ohio, where he
proposed to provide them with homes.
They were not slaves, having been
manumitted by their owner, and Mr.,
Henry was merely the agent to see
that they were comfortably settled,
and was amply provided with funds
for that purpose. When on board a
steamboat and about to leave the city,
they were induced by crowd of IA
natics to believe that they were not
to be made free, and persuaded to
leave the boat. Mr.. Henry made no
objections, and instead of having
good homes they are left to starye.-
The Posi- says: @Those who enticed
these negroes away from Mr.. Henry,
under such circumstances, deserve to
be called NEGRO stealers. They have
stolen these poor negroes from a
friend, not an owner, and have robbed
them of home, and of comfort and
prosperity"
What an excellent thing it would
be if all the fools were dead. The
Aboitionists of Pittsbufg, black and
white, would certainly be numbered
among things that we're.

The DMoRALIzING TENDENCY OF
Know NoTHNGIsM.- The Wilmington
Journal gives report of late dis.
cussion in the Cape Fear Congress
ienal district between the candidates
for Congress-NIr. Winslow, Demo
crat, and Mr.. Reid, Know Nothing
which illustrates with crushing force,
the demoralizing tendency Of the
oaths of the order. We copy as fol-
lows: @ ~
"Mr. Winslow next spoke of the
demoralizing tendencies of the order,
Of It's interference In the business and
social affairs of life-of the constant
espionage which it kept up. He
read the know nothing obligation to
obey the majority of the council in
matters political and social, and sta
ted that so fer was this carried in his
county, that even drays at the land
ing must be know Nothing drays,' or
they couldn't get load. Without
wishing at all to influence the vote
of his opponent, Col. Reid, but merely
by wayof Illustration, he would mention
"a fact which exhibited the unfirnesst to
which the discipline Of the order al
lowed, or perhaps required, its MEM
bers to resort. While the last legis-
lature was in session, it was believed
that the interests of the people called
for the creation of one OF more judi
cial circuits in addition to those al
ready in existence. He, (Mr. Wins
low with other personal friends Of
Col. Reid, having confidence in the
legal ability of that gentleman, used
alehis influence to promote him to
the high Office Of judge. in case such
office had been created. While doing
so they found that suspicious were
entertained of Mr.. Reid S position, he
being accused Of being Know Moth
ing, and that they themselves were
to the same suspicion, weak
eningftheir influence with their party,
and placing them in a false attitude.
Under these circumstances, the COM
moner of Duplin wrote to MIR. Reid,
stating the position Of things. Mr.
Reid replied, pledging his word and
honor, that he was not Know Moth
ing; and upon this his friends indig-
nantly denied his being one, and yet
ne, OR. WiasloW) could prove that
Mr.. Reid had joined the order as ear
y as October last-perhaps called it
BY some other name, but meaning ex-
lctly the same thing"

The Religion and Laws Of Rus.
Sia. t,... g...

Perhaps there is no nation in the world
whose masses are so universally religious
as the Russian. There are there no sects,
no divisions, no dissensions. Greek ortho-
doxy is universal. The church has been in
the unity of that faith for fourteen centu-
ries. The Patriarch of Constantinople is
the spiritual head. The constitution of the
empire, however has -subordinatized to the
supreme power Of the Gar, all the interests
of his mighty nation, both temporal and po-
lemical, and as the great arbiter Of its des-
TIMES. he controls, on appeal the churches
as well as the state. Here is the. key to
the mystery of his unlimited sway. His
subjects regard him with religious awe; and
their venerstion for their church is SO su-
preme that they yield the most passive sub
mission to his will. But with them his will
in the political administration of the affairs
that rule in harmony seventy millions of
men, of every caste and tongue, is not less

and character of these hordes and races that
attemper their varied natures to universal
harmony and acquiescence in the, will Of q
single man. Religion, is the leayen that has
ieavened the lump. To our republican no.

dust can be purchased for $5 per ton, and !,
that the'process through which it will govin
the production Of paper will bring the price
of the latter down at least twenty per cent,
The sawdust Is reduced to pulp, Of the pro.
cess of its manufacture, by acids, and AFTER
wards passed through an operation similar
to that through which the paper in iusss sis
subjected in its preparation. From the saw
dust, turpentine is extracted in quantities
sufficient to make it an object Of ;labers and
the acid used in reducing the sawdust to pulp
is purified into its original strength, with the
loss of only about ten per cent. IN quanti-

Many of our goods were laid in before the late

The quality of all articles warranted. Any
