Mr.. HALE's DIsooURsE.-The Church Of the
Unity, on Elm street, crowded. yesterday
morning, to ove'6owing on the occasion of the
preaching of discourse by Rev. E. Hale of
Boston, appropriate to the death of the late Dr.
Henry Sargent. Mr. Hae's text vas
Thou hast been faithful over few things, 1
will make thee ruler over many things Enter
thou into the joy Of thu Lord.-Matt 1928
At certain seasons, he said, we are completely
upliIted by the sense of our immortality. We
wonder that any one ever doubted it, or set about
to prove il. We feel that we are the immortal
children Of an Infinite Father; and he described
the burial of DR.. Sargent at Mount Auburn, on
Friday, in the beauty of opening Spring, among
so many evidences of Gods presence and of His
love, at such season. Every memory of Gods
love united there with every memory of our
friends undying certainty of his own immortal.

life and its appear the trifles buoyed up on
that ocean. Mr.. Hale claimed the privilege of
friendship in asking the congregation, as a com
pany of the friends of Dr.. Sargent, to try to set
in order, and to fix such impressions of the real
life o: eternal beings.
the different stages of our knowledge of eternal
life, and afterwards the different conceptions
which we form, as we advance in life, of what
Heaven is. In this last connection he spoke of
Dr. Sargent himself. as one who would talk to YOU
of the immortal life with as little pretence, and
with as little effort as any of us would speak of
our meetings or psrtings of yesterday and in
his intense sense Of the reality of his immortal
existence, the speaker found the key to what he
called the hallowed feeling which marked even
our daily intimacy with him.
The sermon closed with the wish that all those
assembled might, by their familiar communion
with God, make His presence reality and by
their hourly thought of Heaven, and their will
lngness to spsak of it, and to act as already be-
longing to it, might make eternity the great re-
ality which it is.

HE DOUGHFAOE RECUsANTs. 1t will be
hard for the public to believe the eight or ten
Northern democrats who opposed the admin.
istration on the original Lecompton bill but
went back to it and gave it victory on the
substitute, to have been governed bv either
patriotic or pure motives in the change They
certainly have braved a fate more speedy or
more complete than that which the Northern
supporters OF the original Nebraska received
from indignant constituencies. They will
never be trusted again by their party, and the
people will shuttle them into private life as
soon as their present terms end. They have
yielded through weakness that is contempt
BILE or rascality that is appalling. The power
of party has overcome some. Others have
been disappointed in not finding promised
or expected sympathy from republicans at
home, and having no strength in themselves,
turned back TO the administration as furnish
ing their only hope of continued political
existence and position others still have un.
douoedly fallen victims to direct corruption.
loo many circumstances point to this to resist
the conclusion. But all are alike disgraced.
They had entered into pledges to their asso-
clate republicans and Americans to stand BY
the principle of the Crittenden- Montgomery
bill-that the people of Kanzas should be
given the opportunity of a direct vote upon
the LecompJon constitution, and rejecting
that, of going forward to make constitution
Of their own and be admitted under it,-and
were bound by every consideration of honor
and manliness not to desert them or that. In
coming to this agreement, all parties had
yielded something-the republicans most of
all, and only on the fullest assurances that
the Douglas democrats would stand to the
alliance till victory was complete. Yet these
men deserted on a miserable pretext, brought
ruin upon their associates and the principle
they pledged themselves to sustain, and COW
cred themselves with shame. They have been
tried and found wanting, and pass into an
oblivion. Their comrades have won, in con-
( trast, an enviabe position. and will be re-
membered and treasured as jewels by the free
men of their states and the North.-Spriag-
