WHAT DO THESE THINGS MEANp

We find the following in late number of the New
York Evangelist
Vermont, of the most purely agricultural States
in the Union exhibits sad evidences of religious inder
ence The annual report of the general convention in
that State discloses the following fact published in the
Congregational (N. H } Journal
More than 20 900 families in Vermont habitually
neglect all public worship only about one-h of the
people in the average attend upon evangelical worship
and four fths of the inhabitants each returning Lord
day absent from the sanctuary What DO these things
mean? Making all due allowance for the necessary ab
of those who in the Providence of God cannot be
present there ought to be at least three instead Of

Courier, with other conservative Journals has never

Mrs Catharne Sinclair sometimes Mrs. Edwin Forrest
is playing at the Haymarket in London She made her
debut the 7th instant Beatrice in 'Much Ado
About Nothing" The Daily News says that she had
and attering reception 'Athough not altogether
the gay witty, riane Beatrice that Shakespeare drew
she bids fair to obtain permanent footing the metro
potan boards Her features marked and expressive
and her figure good, although ncning considerably to
the enbopo and her acting is distinguished by consid
eable vivacity, coupled with intimate acquaintance
with the business Of the stage STILL the truth must be
told she is little too mature and womanly for the
youthful Beatrice and throws consequently phys
cal force into the character than it is to be believed the
thor intended There many characters however in
the high comedy in which her fine presence great flow Of
animal spirits, and obvious stage experience may be
brought out with advantage The impression she made
the audience last evening was decidedly favorable .

elaborate and ably-written notice of the several

result which had been anticipated in the selection OF
able ticket for the support of the democracy has been
fully realized We refer with pride to the and
character of the who have been chosen the cham
pons of the democracy in the coming contest. The
ticket presents combination of talent, experience
and that sound and growing popularity which rests
the basis of personal and political integrity. In,
whole fair representation of the honesty and inel
gcnce of party which comprises within its ranks in
superior degree, the intelligence and honesty of fco

Of the democratic nominee for governor the Pon
eer says
1.-The Hon Henry H. sibey of Dakota county the
nominee for governor born in the Territory OF Mich
gan and removed from thence to the spot where he
resides in the autumn of 1884, nearly twenythree years
ago The reputation for talents and integrity which Mr.
Sibey bore young man will be appreciated from the
fact that he placed the head of the entire business
of the American Fur Company throughout this region
when only twenty two years of age.
The Pioneer closes its interesting biographical
sketch of Mr.. Sibley with the following remarks
'There is propriety in the nomination Of Mr. Sibey
candidate for the first goveorship of the State of

probation 1t is fit that the whose efforts secured
its existence Territory should become the recipient of
the first and highest honorB within the gift of

Messrs G. L. Becker, w. w. Phelps, and James NJ.
Cavanaugh, the Pioneer speaks in the warnest terms
of commendation. Of the candidate for delegate to
Congress the same paper has the following notice

rial delegate and for this position placed in nomination
William W. Kingsbury of the north shore of Lake S-
peror We confess to peculiar feeling of qualification
at this nomination. Mr.. X of the first white

TONNAGE DUTIES IN chill

Recent dates from Chill announce the promulga-
ton of now law imposing additional tonnage duties
upon vessels entering Chian ports, the net amount
of which is to be applied to the construction and
support of lighthouses. We are uniniormed as to
the amount of these duties but the Chlian law of
July l6, 1850 abrogates law in force from January
8, 1884, imposing upon all foreign flags dferential
duties in favor of the national flag, the amount,
whatever it may be, cannot be considered in the
light of an unjust oppressive tax since it applies
by virtue of the law above cited, TO all equazed
flags. national as well foreign. The existing ton
mage duties are ON vessels of nations having treaties
of reciprocity or that have accepted the Chilian
ciprociy law of July l6, 1850, 25 cents per ton of
the vessels measurement. On all other vessels, IS
cents per ton. This reciprocity law OF $50 was ac-
ceped on behalf OF the United States by Presidents
proclamation bearing date November l, 1850.

Kansas.

The Democracy of Kansas are making
every preparation necessary to make Kan
sas Slave State. They will succeed, and
Kansas will apply at the next session of
Congress to be admitted into the Union
with Constitution ingeniously framed so
as to admit Slavery. Mark tho prediction.
All the Free State men that can get there
though outnumbcring threefold the Slavery
party will not be able to prevent it, simply
because Buchanan is in favor of its being a
Slave State. and will not interfere to secure
the rights of the friends of liberty. What
ever his private feelings may be he dare not
do it.

The only feature Of it that anybody will
care to remember, says the Indiana Jour
nal. or can remember with distinc;ness, is
its guarded but unequivocable reiteration
of the ''whole hog" slavery doctrine. He
talks up to the Calhoun mark, and has Sc
lccted Cabinet that will see that he acts
as far as he talks. Taken in connection
with the decision of the Dred Scott case,
which pronounced it unconstitutional for
Congress to prevent slavery from entering
any territory; and we see exactly the con-
summation that the Republicans have pre-
dicted, that the Federal Government would
be made. by slavery influence working on
Democratic weakness and meanness, tn.

Slave. the only civilized country on Gods

wounds Of slavery in her territory, within

lightened the yoke of serfdom that bore
down into the dust the heads of thirty
millions of people. Even the horrors of
Algerine slavery have been .mitigated by
the influences darling out from the Chris
tian world. The United States. alone of
all countries, civilized or savage, has
strengthened the letters, and heightened the
whip, to bind faster and br1ise deeper the
bodies of human property. The United

F Anxious to lay before our readers
the fats in relation to the failure on the
part of the Legislature to pass the revenue
and appropriation bills, and dispose of the
Shryock and Miller contested case, we have
devoted much of our space to-day to that
purpose; which, we have no doubt, large
number of our readers will be glad to see.
We also give room to the report of the
substance of Ex-Governor Wright's speech
ON the Bank question. Will the Democrat
publish it, as an act of justice to its old
friend, Wright? We predict not. 1t
would rather fill its columns with some
silly lovc-tale.

Come friend, Tribune, it will not do to
mix things up in that kind of style. You

fairs as the English editors do about the Pc
culiar' workings of our system. Did you
never laugh at their blunders?
