Riekt Sentiments

The Albany Evening Journal, edited by
Thurlow Weed, one of the oldest, and by
all odds the shrewdest politician at the head
of the old Whig party, in reply to the
proposition for ''union of all the opposi-
ton TO the present Administration" says:
.'We shall prove dull scholars with those
who attempt to teach US that political sue
cess requires an abandonment of Republi-
can principles. or the relaxation of party
discipline. We have won what we enjoy,
of political power. by an honest, straight
forward adherence to both. And we should
show ourselves unworthy of that suprema-
cy which promises, so soon,. to reward the
struggle, by compromising our principles
or demoralizing our organization.
While the syrens who now seek to be-
guile, supposed themselves strong enough
to destroy, we heard and knew them only
as opponents. If, however, now satisfied
with their experience, they are willing to
unite with Republicans in an effort to over
throw Sham Democracy, our principles and
Platform are liberal and broad enough too
for US all. And when thus united, antece-
dents are ignored. Then the merits and
services of all are recognized and apprecia-
ted. Those who really desire that the cause
shall triumph. will accept this view of the
question, for in this way only is success
possible ll5E -A@
Should Republicans, in an evil hour. lis
ten to counseis which suggest an abandon
ment Of any essential attribute, from that
hour we may date the decline and downfall
of our Party. As well might those who
ask to Join Christian Church demand the
|abnepation of the duty of 1.Confessiou. %
|or the ordinance of Baptism" as those
who offer their political cooperation stipu-
late for surrender of principles or organi-
sation. Both are elements of power. The
abandonment of either would exhibit q folly
and weakness of which Republicans are in
capable.

again reveal display of the skill OF car
penters. The foundation of number of
new structures are being laid in all parts of
the towns, and the unsightly log cabins
that disgrace the different streets are assum-
ing more respectable appearance in conse-
sequence of the cutting QUITO window holes.
and the insertions of sashes, with glass
no longer canvass panes.
A number of signs indicative of various
yocations have also been put up in places of
business, thereby contributing to the NOR
allied appearance of this now promising
town.
s As shade is the inevitable effect of ligh:,
thus the comparative present prosperity of
this locality is productive of many phenom-
ena, the apparition of which forms no just
cause of congratulalion on the part of this
community. One of these is the opening g
of public gambling: establishment. Ia
the bar-room of the leading hotel farobanks
are kept, and monte and roulette are played
from sun up till sun down. The flourish
ing condition of these institutions furnishes
strong testimony in favor of the fact that
there is now considerable money in this
country. But remarkable feature of this
phase of social life in this latitude is, that
the patrons of the gambling tables are not
successful miners, but merely newly arriv
ed emigrants. Hard coin and gold dust
form the gam bling medium. I saw an in
tIividual this morning that sports the title
''Judge." basely engaged in emptying his
purse of eagles. One of the discharged
drivers of the Express Company lost fye
twenty dollar pieces-his wages for two
months and a half-in less than ten minutes,
in the course of yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Greeley delivered lecture on the
preferability of cold water tosalcoholic bev-
erages, on Sunday afternoon last, He had
a numerous and apparently respectable au-
dience, and was listened to with evident re-
gard and attention. AS he had, however,
been obliged to pronounce his lecture in an
unfinished log building without doors and
windows, the sudden bursting out of a
storm, which filed the primitive edifce
with thich clouds of dust, cut the lecture
somewhat short.
The latest news from the mines is the
discovery of leads of solid (not rotten, as
in other leads) gold-bearing quartz, by the
indefatigable Gregory, some ten miles north
of the Gregory diggings, near what is call
ed the Snow Range. Same beautiful speci-
mems from this lead arrived here last night.

faith TO 1t, and rely upon IL as the founda-
tion Of my own hope Of the world.
Rational minds will ask for no higher
proof that the Bible, in its entirety, is re-
liable as a revelation from God than the
nature of the faith which is based upon it.
and the results of that faith-the noblest
phenomeua Of human experience--the con-
summate fruitage of human civilization
But we're il otherwise, the Bible is our best
wealth. Were it widely, wildly otherwise.
Heaven withhold the hand that would
touch it destructvely Crazy Kate, who
parted with her sailor boy at the garden
gate half a century ago, believes he will
come back to her again, carries still in her
withered bosom the keepsake which he gave
her, and decks her slvery hair and her little
room with flowers, to give him fitting well
come. This hope is her all In this she
lives and in this, fallacious though it be,
resides all the significance Of her life As
she stands upon the rock worn smooth by
her constant feet, and gazes hopefully across
the saddening sea into the yellow sunset, to
catch a glimpse Of the long expected sail,
would it not be inhuman to pIunder her of
the Keepsake and toss ii into the waves, or
tear from her the hope that fills with blood
and breath the long imperiShed object of
her idolatry, and swells the phantom sails
that are winging him to her bosom P
Whether true or false, the Bible is our all
the one regeneratye, redemptive agency
in the world-the only word that even
sounds as if it came from the other side of
the wave. If we lose it, we are lost.

Judge Not.

"Judge not thy brother Christ has said
Lest on thy own unworthy head
The wrath thou heap'st on him be shed.
But we forget the mandate stern,
And il his feet flom duty turn.
We let our wrath against him burn.
And spurning PHYS gentle sway,
We haste to tear each screen away

Not so does Gods sweet mercy flow

His pitying care and kindness know.
His blessed air Is free to all,
On good and evil, great and small
He makes his glorious sunshine fall.
Aud looking from His holy hill,
He marks the strivingS of our will,
Knows all our sins, aud loves US still.
But we, who can so little know
From whence our brothers actions flow,
What thOrns along his pathway grow

His heartfelt struggles toward the light

When all deceit is swept away,
And all things seen in Heavens pure day.

been pining for years, and nobody could
