DISTINGUISHES AGAINST REPUBLICANIsM.

The Anti-Slauery Standard, of recent date,
contains speech of Parker Pillsbury, which it
eommends, from which we make the following
extract:
"Our work is to redeem the heart and con-
science of the country; and we have to rescue
that heart and that conscience from the spirit
of compromise which leads to Republicanism,
must, it seems to me, see that, if there be any
argument in support of the doctrine of total
depravity, it is to be found in the course and
character of our churches and the old political
parties; so that what we have to do to-day, is
to rescue the conscience and heart of the peo.
pie from that spirit of compromise which goes
into the Republican party, and is satisfied"
The same paper endorses the remarks of a
correspondent, from which we make the follow
ing extracts

The same paper contains the following ex-
tract from the Charleston Mercury, the South
ern organ of Buchanan, which reioices over
the outrage upon Mr.. Sumner by Brooks, on
account of its tendency to dissolve the Union ::
From the Charleston Is. c. Mercury, July 81
"Whatever differences of opinion NAV pre-
vail upon other points, all will agree that Mr.,
Brooks, by his castgation of Sumner, has given
to the public, North and South, spell of very
intense excitement Newspapers and orators
have rekindled their genius at the theme. while

CURED, throughout the State and South, a
wider popularity than speeches and votes in
Congress could ever have given him. He has,
from the first, conducted himself with good
taste, good judgment, and good spirit. His
letter to the Senate, his speech in Court,
and, finally, his effort in the House, have ali
been characterized by these qualities. He will
be received by his constituency with open arms,
and sent in triumph back, to confront, and if
need, we trust, to punish, the enemies and
calumniators of his State and the South.

We do not remember any act which has been
so generally and heartily approved, from Mary
land to Texas, as Mr.. Summers castigation
and unanimity of sentiment in the people has
reacted upon their representatives in Washing
ton. On the other hand, the furious denuncia.
tons in every quarter of the North have de-
veloped the same feeling of unanimity among
Northern Representatives and the result is,
that the lines of sectionalism have been drawn
deeper than ever before, to the disgust of party
hacks, and the satisfaction of true men in the
South. We rejoice at any eoent WAsch makes
