We are very glad u observe, Notwithstanding
the attempts so diligently made to get up crusade
in which all ChristendOm shall unite against the
Chinese, pretty decisive evidence, at least among the
religious people both in England and America, OF
feelings more in accordance with humanity-a state
ofmnd in pleasing contrast to that exhibited by
the religious public of England in reference to the
former Chinese war; Shortly after the close of that
war-a war waged for the express purpose OF COM
peling the Chinese Government and people to submit
to be poisoned by opium for the pecunary benefit OF
the British East India Company and certain unscru-
puous British traders-there was held Zone OF the
largest meetings perhaps ever convened IN Exeter
"HaI'-we quote from The London EIaminer
Of June 81, Is43-" convened by the London Mis-
"sionary Society to consider the means Of extend
ing and promoting in China the objects OF the
Society VIM. 7. Blair, esq, Of Bath, presided.
"Dr. Lefcbild moved the first resolution, txpres-
"sire Of Thanksgiving to God for the icdr betpeen
China and Great Britain, and for the greatly en-
"larged facilities secured by the treaty of peace
"for the introduction Of Christianity into that
Empire.
The proceedings of the annual meeting of the
Chinese Evangelization Society held in London on
the Doth of April last exhibit, on the other hand,
some "maunderings Ofhumanitarianisnl, to borrow
the phraseOlogy Of The London Times, which journal
is not merely bellgerent, but almost csrnyorous in
its feelings toward the Chinese-but sentiments,
nevertheless, which come much nearer to our ideas
of what becomes Christian assembly than those
expressed By the Exeter Hall meeting, above re-
ferred to. Lord Calthorpe the Chairman, in his
opening address, so far from breaking out into
thanksgiving 10 God for the new war with China,
or anticipating from it greatly enlarged facilities
toward the preaching Of the gospel, sOrrowfuly
comedies that the gospel has received great
hinderance from what had taken place IN China'
So far from being thankful for the additional
chances held out to the gospel vi beng SNUG
gled in along with the opium, the report Oh
the Society admits that whatever may be the uiti-
mate result. the war must be regarded as fearful
scOurge. Lord CalthOrpe denounced the "noie
traffic in opium as not less disgraceiui 10 hnglahd
than il was runOus to China. Instead OF reechoing
the clamors of The Times for bloody prosecution
Of the war. he expresses the hope that before the
Society meets again not only will peace be proclaim
ed but the abomnable opium traffic be totally abol
isbed.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that so lucra-
tive business as that of poisoning the Chinese with
opium can stand in want of spologists. AS among
US persons Of decent standing to be found willing
TO hire out themselves and their characters for the
defense of the rum trade so, on the same principle,
the infamous English opium smuggling finds spoio
gists in London among similar cass of respectable

The existing condition Of Kansas is SO auOmal-

deeper i'll which threaten her so imminent, that we
gladly hail every contribution not merely TO the
current knowledge with regard to her, bat 10 the

the facts from every angle, as u mike sure that

The Erenins Post (l3tb) contains the following
letter:
LAWRENCE, Kansas, MAY {, 1857.
Things in Kansas wear al present appearance of
quiet but all regard it as the quiet which precedes
the storm. No attempt except in the more remote
districts has been made 10 collect taxes for the sup
poit Of the bogus Government Acting Governor
Stanton has declared that be should collect the taxes
which have been assessed but he appears be in no

1t is sometimes alleged that Slavery exists IN
Kentucky under more amiable, or at least lees
disgusting and atrocOus aspect, than in other Of the
Barbary States Of this Union. However this may
be, it is at least certain that Kentucky hardly falls
behind South Carolina itself in the illustrations
which she affords of slsyehOlding manners nd
of the degrading debasing, brutalzing and
barbarizing influences of the peculiar inst
tuition 1t is not long ago that Kentucky
furnished US the case of white school

sprout of the slaye-drving aristocracy who beside
numbering the schOOlmaster, found meansby himself

most positive case against him, in obtaining YER

the city of Louisville has just furnished the counter.

the jail and the brutal murder by ferocious mob Of

charge of murder and acquitted because there was
no evidence against them.

appears that Brigham Young has not fled, as re-
ported via California, but that he was still at Salt
Lake at the head Of the Saints. The Cheyenne

A SpeBdthIin Election.

A Lopdon correspondent of the National
In,eilsencer, al'uding 10 the recent elections
throughout Great Britain, says that a great
improvement has taken place within the last
half century. He says that in l76S, contest
took place which was known as The spend.
thrift election. The polling lasted for fourteen
days, and the candidates were Lord Halifax,
Northampton and Spencer. 10 proof OF the
corruption, ii ia recorded that, though the
number Of real electors did mol exceed $50,
no fewer than 1l49 persons voted. The al
most princely mansions of Horton, Castle
Ashbv, and Allhlope, were thrown open 10
all voters, and when the cellars at Horton
were drained of all the old port, and Lord
Halifax had to place his claret before the ca
rousers, they declared they would never vote
for man who gave them sour port, and went
over in body 10 Lord Northampton al Castle
Ashby! The election was referred 10 scru-
Tiny of the House of Commons; the inquiry
lasted for six weeks, during which sixty COW
ers were daily laid at Spencer House for
members, whose names were taken down
each day. Ii resulted in the number OF votes
being declared equal, and was finally decided
by toss-Lord Spencer winning and noml-
mating the member The election cost Lord
Spencer .flOo, 900, and each Of the other lords
El50, ,00o-almost incredible sums, when
they are doubled, 10 express heir present val
ue; about 81, 100000, representing the total
expenditures in money of This day! Lord
Halifax never recovered the blow. Lord
Northampton Gu, down his trees, sold his fur
ni,ure, aud went abroad for The rest of bis
life, dying in Switzerland. There is a sealed
box al Caslle-Ashby marked "Election PG'
pers," which no one of the present genera.
tlon has had the courage 10 open. This, we
are aware, is an extreme case; but we have
known Others which have approached 1t even

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive 10 grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go 10 each;
Let no future dreams clate thee,
Learn thoG first what these can teach
One by one (brlght gifts from heaven)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,'''
Ready too 10 let them 80.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the laud.
Do not look at life s lorg sorrow;
See how small each moments pain,
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task 10 do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
II you set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond,
Nor, the daily Toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching heaven; but one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

THE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRESS.
BY ROBERT JossELfN.

A fig for your upper-;en girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their milliner figures and faces;
They may shine al party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in place OF Them all,
Gly giN with the calico dress.
She is plump as partridge, and fair
AS the rose in its earliest bleom,
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free aud as light
As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press
And her eye is as soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer,
Al her simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits 10 appear,
Wonld sci whole iceburg on fire.
She can dance, but she never allows
The huggng, the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these for her spouse,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm-hearted and true,
And kind TO her father and mother,
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
If you want companion Tor life,
To comfort, eniven and bless,
She is just the right sort for wife,
My grl with the calico dress.

HlY EARLY LOVE.

II was an ardent boyish love,
That faded out as life grew older,
My heart flew 10 her like dove,
And lighted on her beauleous shoulder.
Or slipped the honey of her lips,
Or in her eyes found heavenly sraces,
loved her 10 her fiueer tips
loved l,cr very footprint traces.
Her features wore a rapturous charm,
Her smile made q II within me fluller,
A rounded beauty was her arm,
Her little hand was fat as butter.
No wonder that loved her so,
But she was false as she was pretty,
And soon she sacked her little beau,
And took big one from the city.
