The Religious Awakening.

The peridious violation of the Missouri
Compromise, and the question whether the
sin and crime Of Slavery shall be permit
ted to spread like pes.ilent disease wher-
ever it lists, has touched the moral element
in the hearts of free and intelligent Chris
tians to an unprecedented degree.
Hence we find hundreds and thousands
of Christians and Christian ministers, who
have never before been known to take q
public stand on ordinary political ques-
tions, who now take open sides with the
Republican party, and advocate the cleo
ton of Fremont and DAYTON.

The Whole Truth Out at Last Mai.
Lewis and Gen. jackson Testifying.

The Buchananites, 10 their wrath, VOW
ed that General jackson never spoke Of
Buchanan as represented by the Opposi-
tion press The following letter will show
on whose side truth appears. Maj. WILL
LIAM B. LEWIS, the bosom friend Of Gen.
jackson for many years, wrote thus
WASHINGTON, Feb II, 1o45.
Ny Dear Gea-rai-Your two ccniieu-
tial and interesting letters of the 4th and
9th inst, have been received, and disposed
Of as requested. am happy to say that
am entirely satisfied, and SO is Mr.. Blair,
with the gentlemen who it is supposed will
constitute the new cabinet. Mr.. Blair
and myself both think it doubtful, how
ever, whether Sir. Buchanan will accept
upon the terms proposed, (he should not
be appointed unless he does,) as he is full
of the idea as stated to you in thy previous
letters of being a candidate for the success
sion. If he should not accept, l suppose
the State Department will then be offered
to Mr. stevenson. With or without Mr..
buchanan, however, think the cabinet
will be an able one, aud fully entitled to,
and dc,biless will, receive the confidence
Of the nation.
The truth is, General, Ihaye neuer had
any great respect for NJ. buchanan, and
of late | have even had less than formerly
He did not come out upon the subject of
that "barga;n, intrigue and corruption"
charge upon Messrs. Clay and Adams in
1925, as he ought to have done and as was
expected of him.. Besides, have heard
him say, not more than month age, that
he did not and neuer had believed there
was any truth in the charge. This occur
red at Mr. IS dinner table, and the
remarks were addressed to Judge Man
gum, the President Of the Senate. But
having taken place at the time and place
when it did, have said nothing about it
to any one.
General Jackson replied as follows j
HERMITAGE, Feb. %, 1S45.

Your interesting letter of the 18th inst,
is received, advising that mine of the 4th
Ind 9th had reached You. Before this
reaches you, Col. Folks Cabinet will be
known, and l am sure there will no one

Historical Lessons.

There was, in 1885, great meeting in
FanueiI Hall, in Boston, Ohe "Cradle Of
Liberty,") called by "the property and
standing" of the city, to put down the
Abolitionists and their action. Of the long
line of requisitionists on that occasion,
there are scarcely any who have not since
been bankrupts, through the pery trade
vith the South which they pawned their
liberties to preserve. Twenty years more
of experience have now shown them that
their foreign commerce, and that of the
free States of the West, are worth more
TO them than that of the South impoyer-
ished, By her own account; and impover'
ished, as they have good reason to know,
by Slavery, which allows no wealth to grow
beneath its hot and heavy tread.
New YORK city subsequently, licked the
dust of slavery, and run 'Union saving
into the ground, for the sake of Southern
trade but repeated failures there, and in
the neighboring city of NEWARK, bought
them the lesson that Slavery was the nurse
of Bankruptcies.
PHILADELPHIA has recently toadied the
South, for the sake of custom, and will
soon learn the same lesson. Slavery is
extravagant and improvident, and draws
its support at last from the Free Labor of
the North, as we'll as from its unpaid
Hchattels."
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1856-09-26
SELECTED FOR THE CHRONICLE.

An individual is not necessarily..elevatcd
by figuring in public affairs, or even by
getting into Office. He needs previous
elevation, to save him from disgrace in his
public relations. To govern oneself, is
true glory. To serve through love, not to
rule, is Christian greatness. Office is not
dignity. The lowest men, because most
faithless in principle, most servileito ppin-
ion, are to be found in Office. l am sorry
to say it, but the truth should be spoken,
that, at the present moment, political action
in this country does little to lift up any
who are concerned in it. 1t stands in
opposition to a high morality. Politics,
indeed, regarded as the study and pursuit
of the true, enduring good Of a communi-
ty, as the application of great uuchangea-
BILE principles to public affairs, is noble
sphere of thought and action; but politics,
in its common sense, or considered as the
invention of temporary shifts, as the play
ing of subtle game, as the tactics Of party
for gaining power, and the spoils of Office,
and for elevating one set of men above
another, is paltry and debasing cnncern-
All conditions of society should be repre-.
sented in the government, and alike pro-
tected by it; nor can anything be e1pcc-
ted but disgrace to the individual and the
country, from the success Of any class in
grasping at monopoly of political power.
I would by no means discourage the atten-
tiOn of the people to politics. They ought
to study, in earnest, the interests of the
country, the principle of our institutions,
the tendencies Of public measures. But
the unhappiuess is, they do not study;
and, until they do, they can not rise by
political action. A great amount Of time,
which, if well used, would form an cnlight.
ened population, is now wasted on news
papers and conversations, which iDfame
the passions, which unscIupulously dis,ort
the truth, which denouuce moral iudepen-
dence as treachery to ones party, which
agitate the country for no higher end than
triumph over opponents and thus, null
ttudes are degraded into men worshipers
or men-haters, into the dupcs Of the ambi-
tious, or the slaves of faction. To rise,
the people must substitute reflection for
passion. There is no other way. &c.
