MINISTERIAL CHANGE IN MILLBURY. Rev.
Leyerett Griggs, who has been, for eight years
and a half, the acceptable and successful pas
tor of the Second Congregational Church in
Millbury, has asked dismisson from his
charge, to accept pastorate in Bristol, CT
Mr.. G.. has greatly endeared himself to the
people of his society, and of the town gener-
ally, by his faithful labors; and as he goes
forth to his new field of usefulness, it is a
source Of deep regret to his late charge. His
people gave him parting donation visit, at
their Vestry, on Thursday evening, which was
crowded to oyeraowing, and which is good
index to the feelings of his friends. The pro-
ceeds, in the shape Of f" material aid" were
very creditable, and will, no doubt, form a
very acceptable "parting token" An origi-
nal hymn was sung on the OCCASION and
short poem was also read. The following res.
olutions were also unanimously adopted -
WHEREAS, the Rev. LEyERErr GRIees has lust
closed his labors among us, with the view of
taking the spiritual oversight Of another flock.
Therefore
ReSoLoed That we deeply and sincerely regret
the necessity which has compelled our pastor to
ask dismission from his pastoral labors among
us.
RESOLVED, That during the eight years and
half which he has labored among us. our conf
dence in and affection for him, as a friend a
Christian, and minister Of Jesus Chfist, have
constantly increased
ReSolged, That we stl continue to cherish a
lively interest in his welfare and that Of his FAM
lily; and our prayer is that he may be able for
many coming years to minister as largely to the
edihcation and comfort Of Gods people. and the
moral improvement Of society IN general, as he
has done during his residence with us.
ResolCea, That while we are made sad by his
removal, wecordally commend him to tho church
and society who have called him to be their pas.

WILSON ON DoUGHFACEs. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Courier and
Enquirer, thus speaks of Gen. Wilson's ami
hilation of Toucey. lie says;
"Mr. Toucey, maker to the administra-
ton, who has been instructed out of his seat
by his State Legislature, and who represents
no part of Connecticut but his own paper
mills, sprang forward to prove his ready SER
Witty to his employers, aad made u venomons
assault upon the Senators on the other side of
Chamber, denouncing them as agitators, rejo-
icing that at last justice was about to be done
upon them, and condolling with them that
their occupation was about to be lost.
The poor tool, however, met speedy and eff
fectual justice. Mr.. Wilson of Massachusetts.
branded as ialsehood his last charge upon
the opposition Sem tors, and stamped it, to use
his own words, upon his brazen forehead.
Long as my experience has been in observing
such characters as Senator-more properly ex-
Senator-Toucey, never witnessed insoience
and servility more terribly rebuked. 1t will
be necessary for the Administration to get
another champion.
General Wilson, having administered this
castigation, proceeded with altogether the abb
est and most interesting exposition of Kanzas
affairs that has yet been heard in the Senate.
He gave way in the middle of it for motion
to adjourn, and will of course resume to.
morrow. His facts embrace the whole case
for the people, and against the administra.
tion.''

WAsHINGroN's BIRTH DAY.-Let it be hop.
ed that many among those that to-day bear
Washington's name on their lips, will learn
to follow his great example. If he could speak,
how would he rebuke those whose purposes,
as to Catholics, violate the fundamental prin-
eiples Of religious liberty! The patriot hoped
" ever to see America among the foremost ma
tons in examples OF justice and lberality;"
aud he hoped that his countrymen would noT-
er forget the patriotic part which Catholics
took-these are his words-"in the accom-
plishment of the revolution and the establish
ment Of the Government" How can those
who advocate an old tory test act dare woke
the name of Washington to sanction their big
otry?
Again Let it be hoped that those who
would reduce the alien born to the condition
of slaves, will listen to the words and deeds
of the mighty shade. Does the noble action
of Washington sanction such exclusion of DO
litical rights as we see advocated to- day
What! Would the companion and bosom
friend of such spirits as Lafayette Hamilton,
Steuben, Pulaski, Kosciusko and their alien
born compeers; would he forsooth deny to
them the exercise of political rights How do
the marrow, the bigoted, the exclusive, the an
ti-American, dare to invoke such name on
the side of their political plans? Shame on
the PROCLAMATION !-Bostoa Post

SENATOR Wilson ON SHANNoN.-T
last was stirring time in Congress, when
Kanzas engrossed the attention and interest of
both wings of the Capitol. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune has
the following in regard to the Senate proceed
in6s, on which occasion that wretch, Shan
non, was handled as he deserved to be:-
g Senator Wilson animaverted in a most
stirring and effective speech on the whole
course of policy which had been pursued to-
ward the Free State settlers and emigrants,
aud denounced with powerful inyective the
vacillating, false, and disgraceful course of
Gov. Shannon throughout all the difficulties.
In reviewing the official and private character
of this parsonage he disclosed facts which
would have produced a marked impression on
any other tribunal than one already pre-de-
termined to sustain Shannon in spite of evil
dence and in the face of the most oyerwhelm-
ing marks OF popular disapprobation. Still,
the force of the proof adduced, and the earn
est manner in which it is criticised, seemed to
stagger for moment even those who, max
ing Shannons cause their own, were unwil-
ling TO abate convictions based upon sectional
pfejudlces.
ate iTnmcuirteTy afterward went into Execn.
tive Session, and there the struggle was re-
newed, through the nomination of Wilson
Shannon as Governor of Kanzas. But it was
a foregone conclusion. Testimony and estab.
lished qualification for this trust went for
nothing. The party bugle was sounded, and
he was carried through upon division, which
left the friends of Freedom in minority
But the record survives, and the names of the
men who refused their sanction, stand now,
and will stand hereafter, as a condemnation,
which no superiority of numbers can obliter-
ate."
