pescber on the DUTY of Young Men.

The Young Mems Christian Association, OF
Brooklyn, held its anniversary on Tuesday
night. Among the speakers was Henry
Ward Bcechcr, who discourscd a. follows:
1T was no great credit to be a young
man; every body has to bc one. But the gre
lii was in making it appear they were old in
wisdom and Christian grace. lie WISHED To
put young men on their guard against a Ger.
tain pinchcd seltdcnial that is too prevalent.
Some people are very religious machines. 1t
is not only the duty of a young man to be n
Christian, but to manifest all the graces of
Christianity. 1t was by the conduct more
than by the Argument of the primitive Chris
tians that Christianity was made palatable.
Some people seem to think religion a kind Of
garb put on: yet religion is chiefly in the ell
ements of rectitude, love, worship or venera-
ton; and instead Of going about to show how
religious one is. it is to be shown in their ac-
tons. There is great difference between
religion ard righteousness; the man who acts
Christianity is the true Christian; that which
merely talks religion is not true like that
which acts"

dissolved, and he thinks that the contest for
President in 1860 will be between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, the former
will claim his support.

The Southern Commercial Convention"

We are sincerely gratifed 70 note that a
large majority Of the journals published in
the Southern States representing the moral
sentiment, integrity, chivalrous sense of hon
or, and respect for law, which characterize
the masses of the people in those States-en-
tirely repudiate the action of the so-called
Southern Commercial Convention" which
lately assembled at Vicksburg, Mississippi,
and Indignantly deny that the opinions ex-
pressed by that e%xtrayagant assembly are
those which are entertained by the vast ma
jority of southern men.
We trust that the steady, conservative men
Of the South will unite to crush the ''highcr-
law" tendencies of the Nicksburg conyen-
~tionists and their followers, and by the moral
force of public opinion prevent the growth OF
doctrines which, if unchecked by the trowns
of the Misunderstanding people, will in
evitably lead to a dissolution Of the Union,
and the ruin of those free institutions which
constitute our country's glory and power
