PROGRESS OF PUBLIC OPINION II
SEVENTY YEARS.

At the FIRST session of the Legislature of Mary
land, to which William Pickney was elected, he
made speech upon the report of a committee ap.
pointed to consider the laws of that State prohib
i.ng the voluntary emancipation Of slaves, in the
course of which he used the following extraordi-
nary language; at least We we should think such
language extraordinary if it were to fall from
the lips of Maryland legislator in our days:
"For shame, sir let us throw off the mask, tits
a cobweb one at best, and the world will see
it. 1t will not do thus to talk like philosophers
and act like unrelenting tyrants; to be perpetu-
ally segmonizing it with liberty for our text and
actual oppression for our commentary.
"That the dangerous consequences of this sys-
tenn of bondage have not as yet been felt, does not
prove they never will be. AT least the expert
ment has not been sufficiently made TO preclude
speculation and conjecture To me, sir, nothing

"THE GREAT REBELLION"

Just as we predicted, the alarming insurrection,
against which Governor Walker directed eight
companies ofUnitedSta dragons turns out con-
temptible humbug. The whole affair was perfect
ly transparent. 1t was gotten up-taoricated from
the scantiest materials-for the evident purpose OF
eAtricating the Governor of Kansas from the unen.
yable predicament in which his usurpations have
involved him. But the attempt, extremely difficult
in any contingency, has proved in this instance n
wretched failure. The game was played with an
audacious eifrontery; which showed a supreme con-
tempt of public scrutiny. Even the juggler's
sleight was wanting, to insure momentary decep
ton Look tit: The Abolitionsts of Lawrence
encouraged by the "pacifc" policy of Walker,
refused to accept the municipal charter conferred
by the Territorial Legislature, and enacted one to
suit themselves essentially different in its provis
ions. They thus placed themselves in direct col
lsion with the constituted authorities, and OF
course it became the duty of the Governor to en-
force the laws. Such an insignificant outbreak
the necessary consequence of Walkers palteripg
conduct was the easiest matter in the world to sub
due. But Walker did not choose to regard the at
fair so lightly. Here no thought was a rare chance
to renstate himself in the good graces of the South
ern Democracy, by a mock show of alaorlty IN re-
pressing the insubordnation of tho Aboiitionists:
lie telegraphed at once to Washington, that CIVIL
war had again broken out in Kansas Win unprece-
dented intensity, put forth a proclamation to the
citizens of Lawrence, in which their resistance to
the law is described as the most ubiquitous rebel
lion which has ever disgraced any age or country,

Sometime in March or April last, Lane, with

that he was seeking location the Missouri
river, and intimated that he could make it to the
advantage of any town to let him have an inter

get an interest in Atchison in but one way, the
only way in which any one could acquire an inter

his way aud instead of being "partner in trade

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

True Christianity seems to consist in the recog
milton and AcTuALizATIoN in LIFE of the great
Principles of the Fatherhood of God and the Broth
eihood of Man. The teachings and Life of the
founder and embodiment of Christianity were in
beautiful harmony with this idea. The lives o
the good and true EVER seem to be the realization
OF its truth.
Deeply implanted inMan's Nature is the longing
for the dim perception, the half consciousness
of the existence of tn call Father. The entire o
Justice Love and Wisdom.
The Fatherhood of God is q want Of our Nature
without which we seem as orphans and the reali.
cation of it MUST exist us in Nature dlodyS exists
the ultimate of every true Natural Desire.
All Revelation must consist of a mixture of
Truth and Error inasmuch as eveu if we admit of
the origin we must acknowledge the imperfectOn
of the medium through which it is transmitted.
But we need no Revelation to show US self.evi-
dent truths. We do not consult the Bible. The
Koran or "Scriptural media" to ascertain if we
we are hungry or thirsty or need rest. So the
consciousness of the existence of Divine Mind lie
ever with us. Is part of our Nature.
The Brotherhood of Man comprehepds the true
Philosophy of our relations to each and the duties
growing out of those Relations.
For happiness which is the end of our Being
we are dependent each upon the other. As the
pebble which dropped in the Ocean agitates the
whole of that mighty world of waters the hap
piness of all mankind is dependent upon the de-
gree of happiness which each enjoys.
Consequently for the Liberty the Publication
and eleva ton of Humanity everywhere we must
increasingly Labor.
Practical Christianity is Me want Of the Age.
On matters pertaining to Religion we are too
much given to theorizing at the expense of Prac
tical application.
which il actualized in Life would render Earth

But ne glectng to "work out OUR Salvation"

ordinances
