The California Revolution

Begins 10 assume a more dangerous shape,
and there is reason 10 fear that the honest
and injured sentiment which originated il
will not be able TO control it. The gamblers
and rowdies who were 10 be driven ou, were
surely wicked and dangerous sci. To show
their character take one: Ned MCGOWAN,
who was some years ego expelled from the
Pennsylvania legislature, and was afterward
implicated in the robbery Of some money
from DR.. Darlington, which belonged 10 the
Bank of Chester county. After the exodus
of this clan, the first steamer which came io
New York from California was found by the
police 20 have on board fifty thieves and
ballot box suffers.
II was clearly such a desperate case for
the good ciiizens OF California as required
desperate remedy. They had tried in vain
all other remedies of law and order, and
nothing remsined for their security but that
last resort which is always dangerous. 1t is

govern the spirit they have evoked.

Political Sermons,

Quite scene Of excitement occurred in the
Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia on
Sunday night during a sermon delivered BY
Rev. Dudley A. Tying. The Reverend gen.
tleman had previously announced that he
would preach sermon on Kansas affairs,
and large audience gathered in conse-
quence. True TO the announcement, Kansas
was the subject OF his discourse. and in the
course of his remarks, we are informed tina,
the speaker was severe no. only in hs rep.
rotation of slavery, but on the conduct of
those who wished 10 introduce il in 10 Kansas.
He denounced the Federal Government in a
style which was anything but decorous, and
certainly very unfit in pulpit. Some por-
tlon Of The congregation sat very uneasily un.
der these remarks, and finally DR.. Caspar
Morris, the Oldest veslryman, and a respecta.
BILE member of the Church felt called upon
TO ;nerrup, and recall The Minister 10 his
reason. He arose and spoke of The sermon
as Objectionable in point of matter and in
point of facl-that 1t was desecralion of the
pulpit and of The sacred calling of The clergy
10 Introduce such subjects, and 10 treat them
IN style suited only 10 political and partisan
harangues This rebuke seemed rather to
aslon'sh and disconcen The clergyman. He
paused til The speaker had finished his re-
marks, then looked upon his written sermon,
skipped over several pages, and finished h,s
discourse. The gentleman who administer
ed the rebuke is one OF the most respectable
citizens oil The City,a physician Of large p:ac-
lice, anc descendant of one OF the oldest
Quaker families OF the State. We under.
stand that some years since, he inherited a
plantation near Baltimore, together with abou
ihirY negroes, worth probably $4,000, all
Of whom he smaneipated! He has since en-
Ployed those who wished TO remain upon the
plantation as farm laborers, giving them lair
wages, and treating them with the utmost
k'ncness and liberaliiy. All who wish 10
leave The premises, of course, are al liberty
10 do 30. DR.. Morris has thus made great
or pecunlary contribution 10 the cause OF
emancipation than the whole race of raining
Black Republican preachers extant. But
whatever may be his private sentiments of
slavery in The abstract, and however grea,
has been the pecuniary sacrifice to which he
has submi,ed to crafty his feelings on this
subject, his mind too thoroughly compre.
hended the true duties of Christian pastor,
and he had too correct comprehension of
The true. object for which Christian churches
are reared snd for which Christian oougre-
gallons -e-semble on the day specially set

MR.. FILLMORE ON THE STUMP,

We publish to-day two speeches lately made
by Millard Fillmore, which will form an i'm.
portant point in the passing political cam
paign. The first OF these proves MIR. Fillmore
10 be full'blooded Know Nothing and as
that party was strong when MIR. Fillmore left
our shores, it is not very strange that he should
thus venture on that platform. lfhe had spen,
the past six months in the United States, we
think we can safely say he would not be a
candidate now for the Presidency on the
Know Nothing ticket. He would see that
lie day is gone.
The second speech is honorable 10 Mr.
Fillmore. 1t proves fret that he is patriotic
which nobody ever denied; and next that
when party machinery shall squeeze him
from the ticket he will vote for Mr.. BucHAN-
AN and not for Mr. Fremont The managers
OF Mr.. Fillmore's party will, we think, be
induced by some kind of considerations 10
strike their flag and surrender 10 the dashing
and daring Republican advenlurers; but the
solid men--'he national conservatives-will
nevr go IN that direction.
Mr. Fillmore sees clearly that the whole
platform Of the Republican party must fall
10 pieces before The new President can be
iEanguraiet. Before The 4h of March next
Kansas will be STATE in the Union, with
such constitution as Kansas shall choose
Then the whole fabric of the Republican
party must fall-its occupation will be gone.
II lives only upon one idea; and when Kan
sas and Nebraska become States there will
be no place left for agitation. And states they
will become, let who will be President. So
The whole basis of the Republican party is
the trick of desperate dsmsgogues in the
wild chase for spoils and office.
But if Mr.. Fillmore will think closely he
will find that Know. Nolhingism is as much
based upon one idea, sed lha, narrow feel
ing OF selishness as Repubcanism itself--
But as he is helping 10 destroy The Repub,.
can faction, we perhaps ought 10 be satisfied
and thankful for that service. His country
men have sesp more of Known Nctbingism
than he, and hey will no, therefore be de-
ceived.

Struck by Lightning.

On last Thursday nigh, heavy thunder
storm passed over this place, and the refresh
ing shower was much needed During the
rain barn on the farm of DR.. Ramsey g. Co.,
between this town and the river, was struck
by lightning and burnt 10 the ground, TO
gelher with some twelve ions Of hay, wagon,
harness, two horses and Two cows which
were in the barn, and could moi be got out
The cows were in the barn.yard when the
building was first struck, but ran into The
stall as soon as door was opened in The
effort TO get out the horses. All the proper.
y in the barn belonged to the tenant on the
farm-ME Phillip Cooper-whose loss will
be nearly 5000; and upon whom this mis-
fortune falls heavily. His friends have made
some contributions for his relief.
