REvoLuuoNIsrs REnuEED.-The Rev DR.. Hawks
| of Calvary Church. New York, preached OF
! Thanksgiving morning an eloquent address on
| American Patriotism. He said:
! Are there none who openly condemn the Const
tuition of their cOuntry-nOne who, by the exercise
of a corruption that scarcely has shame enough t.
keep itself out of sight, pervert it from its plaI
| declarations and Legitimate interpretations? Are
! there none who have been willing and ready tC
! convert executive powers into judicial, and legsla
tive into executive? And how speak some mcr
now of that Union Of which our fathers taught by
revolutionary experirnce} thought 81 much? They
| had purchased it for their children with their
| blood: and that blood had flowed from Northern
| and Southern hearts alike; it made one common
| pool upon tne Dattle-Hclu; lncN Knew lHat upOI
union alone depended a strong, proud, natOna
existence Do all their sons adhere to this opinion
of their fathers; or do they trample on their memo
ries. and despite their wisdom? Let facts answer
What means the angry and insulting language o
portions of the press both North and South towarC
each other? Why do fiippant sneers and taunting
| insinuations, and insduous afTectatons of candor
and false assertions and vulgar vituperation, form
so much of the editorial staple of certain prints?-
Is it thought to show skill of fence in intellectual
! gladiatorshp? Whether it be quite as clever
| writing as its authors suppose may perhaps admi
of doubt; but grant that it is, the sober American
who has no personal vanity of authorship involved
may well ask whether it is either patriotic or wise
thus to furnish fuel to the flame of mutual exaspera
tiOn already burning, aa too brightly; to sacri
fee the interests and happiness ofour country to tn
qualification of some authors wish to attain cele
brity as the writer of insulting and trenchan
irony. Our country is surely worth more to IL
than the qualification of the personal vanity O
anv man; and while it is cheerfuy conceded tina
the press should be free and may often furnish in
formation and instruction to the public mind We
it would be hard to show any lawful power it pos
sesses to assume over it dictatiOn control TIL
mode of saying may be often more offensive tha
that which is said: and there is a mode which doe
| not cOnduce to Union, because its tendency is t
destroy fraterna feeling. If any American citize
wishes to be without country that can comman
the respect of the civilized world, let him contrib
ute his aid to dissolve the Union of these Unite
States.
