Thomas De Quincy on Judas Iscariot
believing. AZ .Judas did. and nerhu

Believing, ag Judas did, and perhaps had
reason to do, that Christ contemplated the es-
tablishmcnt of n temporal kihgdom--the res
toratiOn, in fact of DaviG'S throne; believing
also that all the conditions towards the reali-
zItiOn of such scheme met and centred in the
person of Christ, what was it that, upon any
solution intelligible to Judas, neutralized so
grand a scheme of promise - Simply and
obviously, to a man with the views of Judas.
il was the character Of Christ himself sub
timely over gifted for purposes Of speculation.
but, like the Shakspearc's great creation of
Prince Hamlet, not correspondingly endowed
for the business Of action and the clamorous
emergencies of life. lnieci.!on and doubt
(such was the Interpretation Of JudaS) crept
over the faculties OF the Divine Man as often
as he was summoned away from his own nat
ural Sabbath of heavenly contemplation to the
gross necessities ct action. IL became impor-
tant therefore according to the views adopted
by Judas, that his master should be preapitdI
ed into action BY a force from without, and
thrown into the centre Of some popular move
ment, such as, once beginuing to revoive, cOlud
not afterwards be suspended or checked.
Christ must be compromised before doubts could
have time 20 form. It is By no. means im-
probable that this may have been the theory
of Judls. Nor Is at al necessary 20 seek for
the Justification of such theory, considered as
a MATER oF prudential policy ,ih Jewish fanat-
icism. The jews 0f thas day were distracted
by internal schisans Else, and with any bene-
nc from, national unity, The headlong rapture
Of jewish zeal, when com6iQed in vindication
of their insulte,l temple. aud temple-worship,
would have becil equal 20 the effort of dislOlg-
ing the Roman legionarJ force for The moment
from tie military possession of Palestine; after
which, although the restoration Of the Romsn
supremacy could not ultimately have been
evaaled, il is by no means certain that tam
peraMeat'ua or reciprocal scheme of couees-
si0ns might not have been welcome at Rome,
suGf as had in fact, existed under Herud the

THE DOCTRINE SPREADISG.-Lincein's ia
rorite doctrine Of uniformity and consolida-
tion-that all the States of this Union must
become either slave or free-is eagerly
adopted by tho St. Louis reps'xicans"
since tie defeat Of Blair, and promises to
become the great slogan Of repuSa->anism
everywhere, as it has been of the OIL aboli-
tionists fc- thirty years. The ST. Louis
Democrat lays it down a. the p!si,Tm Of
the republican party for its future sc.iOn in
the following terms:
The slavery agitation will continue until
the institution Is established or abo ished IN
all the States and Territories in this Union.
The whole truth may as well be told, Sla-
very must be eternized or abolished il. this
country.
Does the Chicago Journal regss.-tilis
proposed war upon fifteen States Of Il S I L.
ion as another proof that the repuhlie'-, 10
not object to the doctrine of popular soycr
eighty as applied to the States, and never
have SO objected, FROM the foundation Of
this government,

The following is handed to US by highly
intelligent German, whose word is guaran-
ty tc rs OF ihe truth ot the statements hare
made.
Mr.. EDT-og-Dear Sir: Permit me to call
ysGr attention 10 an outrage committed on
the good sense and moral feel ngs of this
community by the Turner's Society on last
Sunday. They had q picnic party some
where in the woods near the Prairie Grocery,
and invited the public to share the amuse-
Enent. Being somewhat curious TO see what
was going on, and not opposed at tall to a
decent and quiet amusement on Sunday, and
after worship | went there. Found some
twenty to thirty boys and girls Surrounding
table, under which the indispensable lager
beer in two barrels, and quantity of ginger
pot bottles and ice, some musicians exerIing
themselves TO their utmost TO squeeze sounds
out OF their instruments, and the whole
crowd pretty near drunk. Then little
moustached fellow mounted a wagon and
spoke, denounciug all religious institutions,
and especially those Of his countrymen, who,
after having left their native land, were
foolish enough 20 get again unclaimed by
priestcraf;, and would rather give their
money away TO priests and churches than
spend it for lager beer and social amrse-
inent. From the peculiar way Of his pro-
nunciaiion, as well as from the ingenious
way he damaged the noble German language,
! am inclined to think lie belonged to the
children of Israel; at any rate l do not be-
lieve that any priest or religious society is
guilty Of causing him to leave Germany
What do our sanity friends of the Repub.
lican say to thiss say shame on any per-
son that claims to be well educated and to
patronize or belong TO such a society.

Ru.rgD OArs.-A number Of horses have
died in Davis county from eating rusted
oats. The Cl1rion, published at Bloom
field, says that farmer in Union township,
in that county had lost three Horses, said 10
have died from being turned into a field Of
oats SO badly rusted as not worth ba rvest-
ing. II is supposed that oats which have
suffered from this terrible blight are a pow
erful poison to all animals which feed upon
them while in the straw, and II would be
well for farmers 20 DC on their guard, and
not turn their stock into the fields even if
they do rot intend to harvest their crop
We also learn that it il reported in the
South that animals have died in several in
stances when turned into rus,ed oat- het ds-

The Nashville Qll.,) Nens says: Through
out the entire section ofcountry, We believe,
the prospect for an unusually large sssp III
corn vas never more fattering. Indeed,
we sometimes hear farmers say they never
saw so god a prospect as that now exhibit
ed. Our own observation tends to c-at'ssa
the evidence " hich reaches US from every
quarter. The failure-almost totally-ot
the oat crop is in great measure conpen-
stated for by the unusually large and laxvr.-
ant yields of all kinds Of grasses.

Their Expedition IN Sonora.

Mr.. James p. Cronin, of Albuquerque,
New Mexico. just arrived at St. Louis, in
forms the Editor Of the Democrat that he
and his party met about three hundred and
seventy five mounted men, thoroughly arm.
ed, on the Parmee fork Of the Arkansas RI
yer, en- route to assist Gen. Walker in Sono.
"a. They were \ II mounted men, and under
the command of Kit Carson. an adopted son
Of the celebrated Kit. This company had
six cannon with them. At Ell Paso Mr.. Gro
mn learned that Gen. Walker had passed
through there a short time previous with
eight hundred mounted men, and with SIX
six, six twelve, and six eighteen Founders,
each man well mounted and armed with Min.
ME rifles and Colts revolvers. All the men
were frontier men, Injured to exposure ard
danger of all sorts. Col. Titus was at Ell
Paso with Gen. Walker, and is reported Sec
ond in command. At Kansas City Mr.. JAS
Sabine was raising recruits for Arizona, and
in all probability will start about the 18th
