POETRY AND THE PULPIT
ON THE DOLLAR.

It Is significant coincidence that there
should have come to us, by the same mail,
a remarkable Sermon and a remarkable
Poem, on the one theme so singular for
either Poetry or The Pulpit:-THE Dol
LAR. A Discourse preached at Albany
by Rev. A. ID. Mayo, is published with
the title The Gold Dollar" and has for
its text =" Neither shall ye make unto
you gods of gold" And thus graphical
ly it opens -
AT the first Exhibition in the New
York Crystal Palace, l observed Gold
Dollar covered with finely engraved let
ters, which, on the application of glass,
were resolved into the Lords Prayer"
After an Introductory remark or two,
the preacher says -
The Gold Dollar: What does IL rep
resent? HOao shall a0e get tit2 Ind achat
shall zoe do Nth it? Let this be the
subject of our mornings discourse"
From the earliest history of man
money has been as powerful as to-day
In the life Of every people, ancient and
modern, it has been a controlling force
Eighteen centuries ago, before this con-
tinent was discovered by civilized men
Jesus Christ, in Jddea, told bis disciples
that the love of money is the root of all
evil: and the panic of the last three
months is the commentary the American
people are compelled TO write on the
margin of that awful Scripture. 1t is al
this, because it is the most permanent
representative of that complex assem-
blage of possessions ard powers whicl
we call This World Money is tht
| symbol of material things not in thei
simply material aspect, but as they ar,
!
this world, he must have a convenient I'm
blem of what he can own in it, aud wha
it can do for him and that emblem i
money. Whether belt Of wampum, {
load of iron rings, bank-bill, or gol
: dollar, money is always the same th
representative Of the uses of this worl
to the human soul OF no value in i
self, its values are unestimated Will
used as the type Of this perpetual hu
man relation. So this little Gold Dolla
, runs ever to and fro over the charme
, cord that unites the soul and the world
passing from hand TO hand, it transmit
earthly necessities, comforts, luxurie
hopes, energies, achievements that lei
inmate in worldly success, all indiyidu
D power of position, all public grander
r and domination"
We regret that we have not room

e cellent discourse, but we will give anot
d er passage as key to its vein Of though

Ffeeburg Academy.-The first quarter of
the present session of this institution, which,
notwithstanding the hard times, was one of
the most interesting and successful, closed on
Friday the 9Th inst. The Normal department
was attended by large number of teachers,
who, in addition to the regular institution,
enjoyed the advantage of an excellent course
of lectures, delivered by Hon. IL. c. Hickok,
State Superintendent of Common Schools /;
Prof Barnett, of Perry county; County Su-
perintendent Boyer, and Professors McFar-
land, Galbraith and Porter, the latter from
Juniata county The examination by the
County superintendent, which took place on
Saturday, proved conclusively that these ad-

these teachers will be found among the best
in the county. The second quarter commenced
on Tuesday the 18th inst. For particulars

Buchanan Democracy and Pro-
lection.

The Cincinnati Platform, which is now
said to constitute Buchanan democracy,
has the following resolution, as can be seen
by referring to file Of the Lewistown Dem
ocrat of June II, 1856:
Resolved, That there are questions connec.
ted with the foreign policy of this country
which are inferior to no domestic questions
whatever. The time has come for the people
of the United States to declare themselves in
favor of free seas and PROGRESSIVE FREE
TRADE throughout the world, and by SOL
emn manifestations, TO place their moral in
fiuence at the side Of their successful exam
ple."
This is the oficeholders creed Of democ-
racy, and is sufficient to show all real friends
of a Protective Tarif-all laboring men
and mechanics who desire to steer clear of
European wages, that from those who hold
such doctrines they have nothing to expect
but unstable and hollow hearted legislation
If the overwhelming expression of the peo-
pie at the late election should even induce
them to alter some rates for political pur-
poses, we should soon again witness a Polk
and Dallas swindle What we need in
this country is FIXED RATE OF DUTIES
on home valuation, on such articles as we
can or ought to manufacture ourselves, and

THE LATE ELEcTIoNs.-At the late
election in South Carolina, for members OF
the next Congress, all the present mem
bers have been reelected except Speaker
Orr. who declined denomination.
The Ohio election has resulted in re-
publican majority of about $4,000 on the
State ticket, and the election to Congress
of fifteen republicans and six democrats, a
republican gain of three members.
In Indiana, the election seems to have
resulted in the choice of the opposition
State ticket by from 1000 to 500 majority,
and republican majority in the State Leg
islature Three Lecompton democrats and
eight opposition members of Congress are
elected
In Iowa, the election has resulted in the
choice of Samuel r. Custer, republican, to
Congress, by about 1000 majority. He is
one of the present members.

Who are the Democrats---the Of
ficeholders or the People =?

Buchanans organ grinders at W ashlng-
ton continue to read out of the party all
who do not bow the knee to the plunderers
and oficeholders who have undertaken to
dictate to the people what democracy is.
The Star, sort Of satellite to the big guns,
discourses as follows:
The moral of these elections, which pro-
claim that Douglasism in Iowa, Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania, is but part and parcel Of
Republicanism wherein that seeks to punish
the National Administration and the Democ
racy of Congress for their unselfsh and pat
riotic protection of the Constitutional guar
antees of Southern equality of rights under
this Governments the fact that they are
handwriting on the wall' proclaiming the
folly OF the honest politicians of the South
who would longer countenance the Anti
Southern Vaccinations of Douglas, Fornev
Haskin, Broderick & Co., because, forsooth
Douglas has long been, personally. a ''devish
clever fellow" Those of the South who lon
ger stand up for Douglas may content them
selves soon to be regarded at home as being
practically CO workers with him in politics.
The Union also doles forth It's thunder
against those who aided in rebuking the
administration. 1t says
With those Democrats who have leagued
with the enemy and given them the victory,
we can have no faith or alliance. In looking
over the field Douglas and his Forneys NAV
find cause for rejoicing and self-laudations
They may glory alike in their own shame and
the defeat Of the Noble old party which they
have betrayed and abandoned 1t is their
work, and they may claim from their new al
lies full compensation for the service thev
have rendered. They and the Black Repub-
licans have been faithful o-workers-begin-
nlng with Judge Douglass attack on President
BuChanan's administration at the commence
ment of the last session of Congress, and end
ing in their present joint and inglorious vic
tory They have fought we'll and gloriousv
together. Let them together rejoice, and in
common prepare for the final doom that awaits
alike the original enemies and the recent de-
serters of the Democratic party.
The self-impOrtant tools who utter these
impotent threats against men who chose to
think and vote for themselves instead of
biindly following the Washington dictators,
know but little of those whom they thus
denouncc. Without them in 1856 Bu-
chanan would have been ingloriously de-
3eated-without them no presidential can
didate presented by the governmentleeches,
even if dignifed as democrat" can carry
Pennsylvania-and without them the whole
gang Of plunderers will soon learn that the
people, though slow to anger, will speak
against tyrannical assumptions and unfaith-
full public servants, in tones not to be mis-
understood, whether IN or out of the "white
house"
