From the Chester County Democrat

Aside from his superior craftsmanship and
his admitted competency for the Presidency it
ia not exaggerated praise to affirm, that no
public man in the United States enjoys more
unsullied personal reputation than James Blu.
chanan. When vipers assail him, they gnaw
a file. Before his unspotted personal excel
lence, the grizzly form Of calumny shrinks
abashed into her gloomy caverns. In proof OF
the eminent personal uprightness of James
Buchanan many interesting facts might be
stated. For the present single one will suf-
fee.
When Mr.. Buchanan first entered Congress,
it was the universal custom for Senators and
Representatives, not only to frank their own
correspondence, but to grant their frank freely
to friends, whenever requested. The rates Of
postage then being much higher than at pres
ent, large amount OF revenue was thus kept
out OF the Golfers Of Uncle Sam. On certain
occasions q leading friend Of Mr.. Buchanan
approached him, handing him a large letter,
or package, requesting his frank as Repre-
sentative in Congress.
" Is the letter on public business, asked Mr..
Buchanan, turning ii in bis hand,
!" 1t is letter on pripate business" said the
other, "a letter containing an enclosure to my
wife. As the postage will amount to full one
dollar, am anxious TO save IT,"
"Sir,r said Mr.. Buchanan, with marked en-
phasis, "If you are poor, will give you dol.
iar--but, so long as am connected with Gov
ernment, by no act OF mine will | ever consent
to defraud the National Treasury out Of one
cent ofits honest revenue. Never, sir, never,
never"
And this was characteristic Of the man. The
same uprightness has he exhibited throughout
his entire public career, SO tenacious, W.
learn, was Mr.. Buchanan over the Just inter
ests Of the Government, that be would no
frank letter Of his own when on private bust
ness.
He that is faithful in the least, is fsithfu
also in the greatest. To such man can ths
| Presidency Of the United States be committed
with perfect safety.

Rights OF Foot Passengers.

The rights of foot passengers in our streets
was the subject Of an important decision in the
Municipal Court today A hackman was con-
demned 10 four months Imprisonment for tres.
passing upon these rights and running over a
foot passenger. The Court stated the rule of
law in such cases to be that carriages had no
paramount rights Of way in the streets, and
that drivers we're bound at all times to heed
the rights Of those on foot and to exercise due
care for their safety. This is a timely decision,
and will tend, it is to be hoped, to lessen
great and growing evil. All law, however, in
this respect, is practically disregarded every
day; and foot passengers are treated, not only
as il they had no legal rights, but as if they
had no claims to the courtesies and accommo-
dations Of society. Long habit and impunity
have emboldened drivers Of carriages, and of
wagons and other teams, especially to insist
upon what they seem to imagine TO be their
priority Of right, and to hinder and annoy,
and even to endanger the safety of foot passen-
gers, by always claiming the precedence in the
privileges Of the highway. An insulting ad-
monition to "get out Of the way is frequent
mode Of defining the rights and privileges Of
foot passengers. The present decision will
bring the matter home to the minds Of those
who seem to need information on the subject
and teach them at least that thcy are amena
BILE to law for the manner in which they exer.
else their vocations in the crowded world.

From the New York Sun.

A new phraze-" Freedom of the Pulpit
has got into the newspapers. 1t has originated
in the controversy about the propriety of clergy
men preaching on politics in the pulpit 1t is
a vague, ill-conceived, and mischievous phraxe.
Freedom of speech means freedom to contra
dict as we'll as freedom to assert. We all un
derstand what free discussion means, but we
all just as well know that pulpit preaching and
pulpit teaching are dogmatic. The pulpit is
for the preacher and the pews for his hearers.
He is the instructor and they are the learners.
We might as well talk about the freedom of the
professors rostrum or the schoolmaster's desk
as about the freedom of The pulpit unless we
mean that the pulpit should be equally free to
the congregation and the pastor to carry on
discussions on the topics introduced in his dis
courses.
But if by freedom of the pulpit is meant
liberty for clergymen to talk as they like in
the pulpit, then may not the hearers claim the
liberty Of judging of the propriety of their
discourses, of being pleased or not, and of
marking their pleasure or displeasure in any
proper and becoming way9 If this is not al
lowed-if it be held wrong in congregations to
object to being treated to political lectures from
the pulpit, from which they expect spiritual in
struction and admonitions, the freedom claimed
for the pulpit is one-sided thing-and is not
freedom but RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The Sabbath, the Christian believes, was
instituted as day of rest from worldly avoca-
tions and cares-as a day of rest from the tolls,
contentious and irritating thoughts and ankle
ties of the other six days Of the week-as a
day typical of that future rest where the sane
thed and exalted creature will enjoy perfect
happiness in the praise and glorihcation Of his
Creator. To the Christian, then, who thu.
views the Sabbath, it can never be pleasing OF
profitable to have the solemn exercises Of God:
house disturbed by political discussions and
it will grieve him to see a zeal which should
in a worshipping assembly, be all directed 10
leading the thoughts and the hearts Of the wor-
shippers up TO the great Object Of their adora-
tion, bestowed upon the contentious and strife
Of this world, and employed in impanting and
deepening prejudices, passions and hatred
which divide and vex society.
There is time for everything and the cler-
gymen may talk politics as freely as any other
man at the proper times, but when he claims
to mingle his politics with his ministrations at
Gods altar, on the Sabbath day, he risks the
dignity Of the sanctity of his Office. We warn
clergymen Of the danger which it will work to
the vital interests Of religion, if they descend
from their high position as ministers of Christ
to be mere jealous partisans in the political
agitations of the day. They will be serving
their Master better IL they can send their peo-
pie from the house OF prayer resolved hence
forth to be on Gods side, than if they should
send them away resolved to vote for a par
ticular party at the next election.

The object of the meeting-if our i'm

and Black Republicans. Strong reso-
lulions were passed endorsing Buchanan,
Breckenridge, and the Kansas Nebraska
swindle We may be mistaken in our
impression, but we saw one or two men
in the ring who had always professed to
be strongly anti-Nebraska, and we really
thought they looked rather ashamed of
the company they were in, but perhaps
we were mistaken.
