A Christian Statesman.

Tho death OF Hon. b. 7. Batter Of New
York. has already been announced. lie
was formerly resident Of Albany. but later
of New York. lie was considered one Of
the best lawyers in the country, and had
occupied several positions Of high trust. lilo
occupied the pos, of Attorney General do.
ring the administrations Of General Jack'on
and Van Buren,, was Secretary Of War for
short time. and was offered the pos, under
Polk. but declibed. lie has also filed inn
por,ant Offices in his own State. When tho
democratic party adhered to democratic
principles. hc was q democrat. In later
days he acted with the National Republi'
can party. Since hi. deccasc. his associate.
IN various positions have culogifcd him,
and especially his character Ms christian.
The remarks OF Rev. DR.. Bethune, an emf
nent divine, Of New York. we copy. as
showing tho Importance Of having more OF
such characters as Mr.. Batter, in official pO-
sitions:
Rev. DR.. Bethunc said that the whole ca.
reer Of Mr.. Butler afforded 10 his mind n
beautiful illustration OF Christian consis'en-
cy. Abiding To some remarks made by DR..
Spr,gue. in which he partially expressed u
resrc, that Mr.. Batter was engaged in the
busy scenes Of politics, - uneongcnial to
his feelings. DR. Bethune asked, What right
hasa man. II he Is religious, tn forge. his
county? What use is his religion, ~ a
citizen. unless he bring 1t TO bear in the i'm.
proyement OF the nation3 Religion should
be carried into all the Affairs Of life. II wo
had more Benjamin I. Buffers, we would
have better government. IL was because
Christian men did not do their duty at tho
ballot.box. that our land was given up TO

God-men who could not forget that the

then We might hope for better state OF
things. Sach man was Benjamin =. Bot

SEWARD AND JEFTERsoN. The outcry
which the Buchanan Democracy are max
ing about senator Stewards Rochester speech
shows how widely they have departed iIom
the Democracy Of jefferson. They pariic-
ularly denouncc Mr. Stewards philosophical
statement Of the antagopism between the
free aud slave labor systems, and his idea
that the United States will eventually be-
come either entirely FREQ labor nation or
entirely slaveholling nation. But Mr..
Seward was right when he observed that
" startling as this may appear 10 you, fcl-
low citizens. II IS By no means an original
or ersn modern one" No less a man than
Thomas jefferson. the Father OF democracy
entertained q similar belief. Mr.. Jefferson
states. in his Memoirs. that in 1000. he
made. in the Virginia Legislature an eaOr,
for the permission Of the emancipation OF
slaves, and in 1896 proposed another law,
embracing the principles Of the freedom OF
all born after certain day, and deporia-
ton at certain age. OF this, Mr.. JcfIcr.
son himself says:
But it was found the public mind
would not yet bear the proposition, nor
will It bear IL even at this day ls2il-yet
the day is not far distant when IL must bear
and adopt it, or worse will follow. Moth
ing Is more certainly enieH an he book Of
fate THAN THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TO M

msaf. Nature. habit. and opinion. have
drawn indellible lines Of distinction between
them. Its still in our power to direct the
process OF emancipation and deportation
