real calibre of the man, and the gen.

1t will be remembered that Colonel
Fremont has the advantage o. twenty
one days experience in the National
Senate. AS the representative of
California in that body, he distin-
guished himself by one short speech,
two small fights, challenge to shoot
with somebody, and, if we mistake
not, a motion to adjourn. He may
again find the path to the Senate, but
it is to be hoped the nation will be
spared the great calamity of its sue
cessful pursuit.

Patriotism of the Bible.


The following article from the Lou.
isville (old SCHOOL, Presbyterian pa.
per reflects so wildly the principles
we have advocated during the pres
ent canvass, that we are Induced to
inssrtit entire:
.'The Christian who does for bis
country all that the Bible requires
him to do will be the highest style OF
patriot. His religion requires him
TO love all men, even including bis
enemies, and to do good to all men
as he has opportunity. He is
commanded to love his country, but
he is not permitted to hate other
countries, and to tear them down
chat he may build bis own up. He
should love his whole country, and
not simply the particular portion Of
it in which he reside.
at is impossible, therefore, in
the very nature of the case, that
Christian patriotism can be sectional.
1t seeks to promote the interest Of
the whole country because by so
doing it best promotes the welfare
of every part OF it, 1t seeks DO ad-
vantage for its section at the expense
of others; Mason and Dixon's line is
not the boundary of its Affections
If it breathes in the bosom of man
South Of that line, i: makes him re-
joice in the prosperity of those Of
his fellow citizens whose lots are
cast north Of it, as much as does the
prosperity of his own section. If
it is found in a northern bosom, it is
equally expansive. 1t embraces the
south SIS well as the north in the
arms of its love. The Christian
patriot ought to ask himself the
question. Chow would / regard the
measure or policy which | now advo-
cate we're in the place of my fellow
citizens in another section. What
influence will my farorite measures
or men have upon the whole country,
and not simply upon he part in which
reside?' He should expand his
mind, and take enlarged views ofthe
subject. There is nothing narrow
or contracted about christianity
Those professors of it who have
contracted views or feelings have
them in spite of their religion, and
not in virtue of it. If the enlarged
patriotism inculcated in the Bible
could only become thoroughly pre-
dominant once more in the heart Of
Christian men at the North and at
the Soulful they could be brought
to lay aside all reference to their
particular sections, and would all
look at the greatest good of the whole
country--the strife which is now ra-
ging with such violence would soon
cease. If the North would do to the
South, and theSoulh do to the North, |
just what they would each have the
other to do TO them we're their cir
cums'auces reversed, all contention
would soon cease, and peace and bar
mony would prevail again. This is
precisely the kind Of patriotism hich
The Bible inculcates. Without this
no country as large as ours is can
hold together and prosper. With it,
it may flourish and grow stronger to
the end of time"
