THE QUAKERs.-This ancient and respectable
body Of Christians has at last come in for its
share Of the divisions which have distracted other
religious communities The Methodists, the Bap-
fists. the Presbyterians, are already greatly ag-
tated by internal difficulties Of various kinds,
and now the Friends-the most peaceful Of all de-
nomnatons-have occasion to regret the intro.
duction Of questions not contemplated in their
original organization. and are split up in various
parties whose opinions are far from being har-
monious. The principles Of Fox Barclay and
Penn long influenced the conduct OF their pro-
fesscd followers. AT the late periods OF 1920 and
1926 celebrated preacher, Elias Hicks, inuo-
waited upon the received and established doctrines
and became the head Of new party in the
meeting His creed is generally considered to
have an Arian aspect and became at once the
subject Of much controversy. We have now q
new ofi-shoot in the progressive Quakerism Of
Pennsylvania, and their adoption OF amusements
which have hitherto been considered heterodox.
Music and dancing arc tolerated by them as per-
fectly proper in themselves, and only objection
able when they are carried to excess. In this
state Of affairs deep anxiety Is felt by the pure
and simple " minded adherents Of the founders Of
the sect, and they consider the signs Of the times
discoursging TO those who would adhere 10 the

Is indeed consolation to know that there are so
many willing to minister to the wants of the sick

ANOTHER Know NOTHING FIzzLE.-The late
State Council Of the Fillmore Know Nothings at
Syracuse, like everything else which they have
attempted for year or two, was an inglorious
fzzle. 1t appears that upon division Of the
Council, in the way Of a split, the majority were
for Fremont; and that this SO dspirited the Fill
moreites that they postponed the appointment of
an electoral ticket to more convenient occasion,
although that was the very work which they
were expected to do. They are to have State
Nominating Convention at Rochester some time
between this and November, If they don't all dis
appear in the meantime, like loafers from a
funeral Of one Of the order.
Perhaps these New York Fillmore party hacks
are waiting the issue Of the old line Wing Ma
tional Convention, which is to be held in Balti-
more on the 18th Of September. There viii be
little comfort in that gathering, we fear, for Mr..
Fillmore. The State Council (Know Nothing) Of
North Carolina, IN Its instruction TO the brethren
of that State to vote for Buchanan, have only,
we apprehend, foreshadowed the ultimatum
Of this Baltimore old line whig love feast
Such old line wings as Mr.. Choate, Mr.. Sena-
tor Pearce, Mr.. Senator Pratt, and Mr.. Senator
Jones, Of Tennessee, will most likely rule the
convention, and leave Mr.. Fillmore high and dry
upon the beach, like turtle on his back in the
sun. 1t would be pity IL such Know Nothing
old line, old iogy wing movement in the South
were to result in such a stampede from Fillmore
in the North as to leave Mr.. Buchanan, like Fill
more himself, without the ghost Of a chance ofan
election. But that must be looked after.
Van Buren,, in ls4s, cut both ways; but still
he had his revenge upon the party that wouldn't
nominate him. 1t would be shame to deny to
Mr. Fillmore this little bit Of negative satisfaction
after carrying the dark lantern all the way from
Rome to Buffalo. His expectations are humble;
let his friends see TO il that they are not spoiled
by jumping over too soon in the South into the
Buchanan camp. In this view all the boobies Of
the Fillmore party will be wanted at Baltimore.

s BLUNDERs OF ORAToRs.-Orator
and authors sometimes make a person
smile by their misapplication OF meta
phors and the abuse figures Of speech.
Nothing is more striking in illustra-
tion than the use Of a clearly defined
and apropos figure and nothing is
more ridiculous than the incongruity
Of metaphors. To illustrate:
A. clergyman not long since reproy-
ed his congregation from the pulpit
assuring them that "the hand of Provi-
dence would not aoink at their pecu.
liar transgressions." :"
A descendant ofon of the Revolu-
tionary sires in the National Legisla
ture, astonished his brotherlegisIators
bysaying: "My father and my grand
father both saw the darkness Of mid
night glittering in the blaze Of their
dwellings!"
Jehn Randolph once spoke of him
self as standing on the vacant seat
which we now occupy. T" Ns'
A celebrated barrister once exclaim-
ed; 81 smell a rat! Isee it brewingin
the storm; and with your permission,
gentlemen Of the Jury, ! will nip it in
the bud!''
These citations will serve to en-
force the moral--never use a figure Of
speech that is not necessary for illus
tration and perfectly congruous and
in keeping with the subject. s

WHO FOUGHT THE BATTLES OF
THE REVOLUTION,

Since Mr.. Sumner delivered his
speech which called forth the wrath
Of the South and brought upon his de-
voted head the ruthless cane of Brooks,
there has been considerable controver-
sy regarding the relative share of the
hurthens of the Revolution, borne by
the Northern and Southern States
The intimation that South Carolina
contributed a smaller number than
Massachusetts in that contest, has been
the cause Of much indignant feeling
and expression. The following mum.
Der oft1oops, both regulars and militia,
furnished by each State during the
war, which was prepared under au-
thority Of Congress soon after the close
Of the contest, is conclusive on this
