change, they might find one not quite so plant,
one sof purer eye than to behold evil with compla-
cency and satisfaction. The conduct of his con-
gregation towards this scoundrel, is but an cx-
emplifcaton of the pungent truth, ga fellow
feeling makes us wondrous kind"
Nothing can exceed the corruption of the North
ern people, except it be the corruption of the
Northern clergy. Nothing more strongly displays
the deep implantation of the hatred to the South,
the hopelessness Of reform, the folly OF expect
ing that such men will ever cease their aggres-
sons upon the South, the stupidity and shortsght-
edness of those statesmen who tell US that there
is a conservative power at the North, that is yet
to restore peace to still the troubled waters, and
cause the flowers to spring once more in vernal
beauty on that desolate, moral waste, than the
facts revealed in this trial. KALLocK is but the
type of three thousand other preachers, who
signed with him the protest against the Fugitive
Slave Bill. When the clergymen become corrupt
and the yeomanry of the country are so complete
ly their dupes-we had almost said their idolators
to what class are we to look for conservatism
and virtue? Surely not to professional politicians
And what is the lessons which we are to draw
from all this? That q revolution for better OF
worse. is the inevitable destiny of the United
States and that all we of the South need expect,
need hope for, need prepare for, is to turn that
revolution to the best advantage.
We quote q few striking remarks on the trial
from the Greenville Patriot.
"The trial evinced great tact and ability on the
part of the counsel engaged, and great deal OF
prompt decision and legal acumen on the part OF
the Judge In the trial Of this Infamous hypocrite,
there is deep moral. 1t shows how little the
human Judgment is to be relied on where the feel
ipcs have been excited. But for the enlistment
of feeling, we hardly suppose there could be doubt
of the guilt of Kallock Three or four witnesses,
as many as the Koran of Mahomet requires to
prove the offence, testified to it. The circumstan-
ces. undenied by the defendant, show the grossest
imp. opriety and guilt He goes to deliver lee
ture in Cambridge, and, instead of driving to the
house of gentleman, who invited him to take tea
with him, and who was prepared to receive him,
he goes with another mans wife to tavern, in
troduces her as his wife, and calls for private
room! He and the woman are ushered into bed
chamber-they 90 to the lecture and return, and
sta till late hour. He is temperance lecturer,
and calls for two "Whiskey skins" Yankee
drink, which we never heard of before. Suspicion
is excited that the woman is not his wife, and
three or four persons eavcsdrop at the closed
chamber, and overhear and see their expressions
of love and guilt! =,
ave do not suppose his congregation are oil
polluted and corrupt, but the next Sabbath after
his trial they crowd to hear him, and see him
proranc the sacred desk-resolve that he is iIiho-
cent, and give him thousand dollars to pay the
expenses Of his guilty defence! What reliance is
there in human judgment, when the feelings. re-
ligious, social or political, are excited? None
Whatever as this trial and the conduct of Kallocks
congregation manifestly evince."
