Tue CHAPLAIN OF CosGREss-Ous
TREArEEs. - The NatioSaI Inteiiigencer
says:
Rev. Daniel Waldo, Chaplain to Con-
gress, preached in the morning on the evil
tendencies OF theater-going, from Acts
1881: Sand certain OF the chief of Asia,
WHICH were his friends, sent unto him, de-
string HIM that be would not adventure him
sell into the thester." This subject was
illustrated under the three following heads:
FIRST, the character of those who persuaded
Paul not to go into the theatcr; second, the
origin and general character of theaiers;
third, the te Ddencies or general results cun-
sequent upon attending them. Under the
first head Of his discourse the venerable
speaker said they were Pau"s"iriendS, ;" and
these we're "ot the chief of ASIA" irsm
among the 1ristocracy. sigaifying that those
who went to the theaier we're m, st gener-
alIy OF the lower class, people Of loose NOR.

.for The space OF two hours" turned the city
of Ephesus INTO such scene OF sonfusion,
by CRYING Great is D.ans!" that the town
clerk was obliged TO inlerPcse his authority
to quiet the uprorious confusion. These
friends urged, also, that il the apostle went
into the ,heater it would endsnger his life
The burning of the Richmond theater was
odduced as a literal proof of this pos tion,
and other instances as proof of its death.
like consequences TO the Pious mind. AS
to the origin of theatres, the SPEAKER went
back to some six or seven hundred years
before the Christian era, and quoted from
one of the heather writer's to give the de-
character OF the plays written
or acted by EschYlus; and then quoted
Solon, Ly curgus, Plato. and Seneca, as en-
tering their protest against the bad tenden-
cies of theatres in their times, and from 10.
tinguished moralists ef our times, all going
to show that tha theater is Pagan legacy
which ought net to bs sustained by Chris
t;lus. |

In Union there is Strength.
To the Ediior of The Belmont Chronicle:

To the Ediicr Of tie Belmont Chronicle:
STA: IDasmuch as the time is approach
ing when the political parties OF the State
and county should be casting about, AMI
planning the campaign, | have presumed {"
address you a few lines on the particular
situation Of political affairs in this county.
As matters at present stand-judsing from
the official returns at the last election-:he
Democrats ere in the minority, supposinz
by any means the American and Republi-
can parties should be united on county
officers. If the same advicrs prevail that
did at the .sst election, then will the Dem
ocracy again triumph, and unless fusion
is affected, the next election will prove, in
its result, but counterpart OF the last.
Ny own feelings in the matter are for a
fusion OF all tie opponents of the Demo-
cratic .par,y. That this can be effected
have not the slightest duub:, and that, too,
ON terms salts 'actnry to the members CT
both branches Of the opposition. If this
is TO be done, now is the time to effect il;
the spring elections will occur in the course
Of two month, which will afford an admir-
able opportunity Tor laying the foundation
of full and complete fusion on county Off
GERS. 1t may be very patriotic, and all that,
for members Of the Republican party. to
boast that they have kept out the American
candidates-and for the Americans to boast
that they have kept the Republican out OF
office. but after the battle is over and the
spois divided, it is conlouRdedly unpleasant
TO behold those spoils, even the last penny
speak not ss defeated candidate. for
am not one nor yet as Candidate in ex-
pectancy, for am not one-but speHk as
member of the opposition to the Denoc-
racy, which opposition, through the preva-
ence of unwise counsels, though largely in
the majority, is woiully defeated. Will this
state of things continue! Is it does defeut
of the Democratic party in Belmont county
is morally impossible. A fusion will alone
secure victory.
isPesk from my oW persosal knowledge
when say that many, in fact. believe, a
majority of the American and Republican
parties in the county are ready, willing, and
anxious to fuse. Ii they demand il, i, will
be done. Ii they submit to the dictaiion of
party leaders, aud listen to the petty inuen-
does of the Democrats, tn, it will never be
done. As lor me: TIN always for
Usiox.

to whom allusion was made yesterday, by
Mr.. Paine. as the member offering the brioe,

Two gentlemen are both Fillmore Ameri-
cans. Me-. Edwards asks that judgement
may be suspended till all the facts arc
brought out. He seys he is not going to be
the .,capegoat OF other mems rascality. Ii
the committee make through examination
into all schemes that have passe1 during
this session, and that are now before the
House, as it is said they WILL, a rather bad
record of some gentlemen will be presented,
from the election OF Speaker and public
