Philadelphia, all report Mr.. Rayner of North Caro-
lina to have read at Fusion meeting in Philadel'
phia message from Mr.. Fillmore, counseling q
fusion in that state to defeat Mr. Buchanan. Many
ardent southern friends of Mr.. Fillmore assert posi-
lively that MIR. Fillmore was incapable of sending
such despatch, which implies charge of serious
character against Mr.. Rayner. This latter gentle
man owes 10 himself TO publish the despatch il

THE LONDON ZINES ON New YORK OMNIBUS DRI-

Times in this country, is giving descri ption of
omnibuses and city railroads, thus describes the New
York omnibus driver, with the feeling Of philan
thropist: ''To pass again to the rival hicle, no
phiIanthropist ought to withhold his pity for the
driver of New York omnibus he would gain con
sideraby by being included in the act that protects

the while up and down q street. three miles of which

the money; he has to manage whip reins and horses

The Allentown pennsylvania Democrat point
eddy remarks:
C 1t has heen the boast of Americans ever since the
foundation of the government, that ours was the
only country on earth where politics and religion
were kept separate where the union of Church and
State was neither known tolerated. But how
long this may be continued as subject of national
feIictation depends more upon the stern conserva-
tive sentiment of the people than upon any desire
the part of the Clergy to respect the spirit of in
situations. Look at The facts as presented in the
campaign just closed. Preachers throughout the land
and especially in the Yankee States, have made
abuse of the democratic party and shriekng for free
dem large part their business during the past
| summer. From Sharpes-Rife Beecher down TO the
smallest pulpit orator who holds semi monthly meet
ings in schoolhouses al the roads have politi
cal harangues taken the place of religious teachings
| How beneficial this departure from sacred duty
has been toward building up the church O
Christ may be inferred from remark clergyman
| of this town made to the other day. He told u
that from the statistics of the church in the eastern
states the congregations ofhe various religious de
nominations there had not increased any in numbe
during the past year that if they were not retograd
ing in pety, they at least had not increased IN mum

The Future of Nicaragua.

The Future of Nicaragua.
The following paragraph has quite romantic as
pect 1t, however, dimly shadows what may take
place at some future time in Nicaragua. The writer
has furnished vivid picture, and evidently looks
longingly and anxiously into the future.
Let us hope that the fierce contest in progress
contests in which many lives no doubt will be
sacrificed some compensation will be realized in an
improved condition of affairs in that country.
From Ell Nicaraguense, Sept. 20.
At no great distance from the city of Granada, are
situated a cluster of the most beautiful and fertile
islands is is possible to conceive. They vary from
few square yards several square miles in superb
cial extent Beyond these, and separated from them
by deep, navigable channel, stands the large is.
land of Zapea1o whose bold headlands and lrregu-
lar surface serve guide to all who navigate the
lake. Zapearo is in its western extremity, scooped
out so as to form an almost circular bay, and the
shore of the maine and opposite having deep curve
an almost circular bay is formed of several miles in
diameter so securely sheltered by highlands as to
make the slightest skif lie upon its surface
even when storms may be flashing into fury the more
exposed parts of lake Nicaragua. The southeastern
portion of this is also entered by channel of deer
water which divides the southeastern extremity Of
Zape,aro from the main land. The steamer San Car
los has already entered the bay described, by thu
last mentioned channel and ascertained that the wa
ter is of sufficient depth to afford secure anchcrag
for vessels
The Northern part of the bay is bounded by III
cluster known as the Thousand islands, each on
of which, to our mind is IN short time destined t
be full of houses, stores ami commercial ware rooms
and where vessels of considerable tonnage can NOV
from one depot to another with more than O.
carts now used in Granada move from one street /
another. On this city of a thousand islands pur

arose, but all marked by the original talnt-the III.
herited tendency to minge religion with politics.
Even the infidel Garrison, who believes in neither
God nor revelation, must assert himself better than
somebody-he must have something to prosecute and
revile and to possess this great privilege, he joins
with ovet three thousand political parsons in New
England in reviling and abusing the people of the
South-in bringing in the question of mans reli-
gon against his status a cltlZen-n teaching a
higher law than the Constitution
} Thus We have found New England body car
ried off by the g higher law" fanaticsm, of which
Mr., Fremont is the emblem, and more striking still
all those portions of the newer States, the settlement
of which was mainly effected by New England Emf
grafton follow precisely in the same track. North
ern Ohio, Northern Illinois and Indiana, and Wis
, consin and Michigan, as well as the Western ant
Northwestern portions of the State of New York are
, for Fremont. Never has the New England pulpit
ceased to be political power-never has the subjec
of politics been wholly divorced from religion among
the descendants of the Puritans, in those place:
where Puritanism has formed the leven which hat
leyened the whole lump of public opinion. Tn,
spirit of Cotton Maher still fingers around, finding
f new witches and bugaboos.
Of course we speak of the general tone of things-
of the general tendency of this puritanical potco
religious leyen. We know that there thousands
and tens of thousands of nobe-hearted and liberal
minded men, even in the hot beds of these sms, VIII
