The Orthodox-The Uppermost.

There is class Of men, in Church and State,
who, having the upper-hand, manifest their
importance by oppression Of the heterodox.
The genus prevails in various professions and
in all circles Of society. What they don't know
amt worth knowing. Their views only are
right, and any one differing from them is
voted an ignoramus. Who the orthodox are
may be illustrated by this story.
DR.. Fitzgerald, noted Quaker preacher, of
England, gave @ singular definition Of the
word orthodox, which, perhaps, may have more
truth than poetry in it. He was noted man
and multitudes went to hear him preach. Ac-
cording to the common practice Of that order
of people, he sat sometime in silence. He then
rose, looked round on the assembly, and thus
addressed them; "My friends, I have been
thinking Of one word of three sylIables, and
that word Is orthodox" Here he paused for
some time, and then proceeded to say: "And,
my friends, have been thinking of one word
Of three sylla5les, which explains it, and that
one word Is uppemost." He proceeded no fur
thsr, but sat down. The assembly separated
and went to their homes. Many thought
that the doctor had preached good sermon.
This text and this sermon often comes
with their lesson to our mind, and particularly
SO in times of excitement, when clustering,
supercilious men take position, and dogmati-
cally dominesr over those differing with them.
A weak, helpless person is hustled out, If he
be not orth odox. Terrible is the power and
will to perse cute by the uppernsost.

The Gothic Project.

What has become Of the project to erect and
finish building, in the Gothic style, for the
city Of Cincinnati, on a lot fifty feet front on
the south side Of sixth-street, next east of the
Ohio Medical College, ninety feet deep9 Since
the Catholic Institute foundation has been laid
on the other side Of the Mechanics Institute,
tho value Of the lot We mention presents Itself
to our mind, and ws are reminded that this is
a suitable place for an Union Building Of the
Mechanics Institute and the city Of eincn-
natl. The lower portion could be rented for q
store, and occupied by the Fire Company; the
second and fourth stories by the Mschanios'
Institute for o Museum and standing Mechan-
ical Exhibition-room, and the third story for q
large public Hall, and for use Of the public
choos. A Chamber of Commerce might here
be secured. ~ Na9lQ8 E@ g&% ~

1t is an unfounded charge against the friends

The Frankford Commonwealth condemns the
Newport destroyers. It declares theattack on

his Importance an hundred fold. "Besides,
leaving all questions Of policy aside, this de-
strustion Of private property by mob is q
gross violation, and should be punished as
such." Oh! Newportonians, your fun will cost
you something in your character, and consid-

cost will be incidentally. 80
There is some talk of laying down double
track on the political railroad, or else construct
turnouts on the line, to admit Of popular sove-
feignty projects passing each other from east
to west. They are very much in opposition
now days, and the track getting full Of them.
There is talk Of having an independent tele-

The conservative National Intelligencer hits
of the extremes of both sides in an article
entitled "The More excellent way" 1t
speaks of the good old days Of our fathers,
when politicians could differ in opinion on
the slave question without animosity, and
could indulge in controversy with arguments
and not vituperation.
They say there has been found false bot

clans expect to draw out of it all sorts of hob
goblins to continue the excitement until
after the Presidential elections.
A free field for the fight for Clerk of the
United States House of Representatives is
hoped for by some of the contestants, if they
can cut out the Underwood of Kentucky. It

The New Orleans election this week will
be Baltimore election No. 2.
Every little helps. There are daily and
nightly meetings In New York, where the
hopeful pray for the safety of Brown. Brown
may escape the haltar after all.

Joint stock.

All the States Of this Union, with their vari-
ous interests, are on an equality as States with
each other-siave as well as free States--all
have taken stock In the Union, and the people
on one side Of the division fine have no right
" hllibuster on the other side thereof. Both
one and the other, however, have offended in
this regard, and hostilities have taken plscs
as If therelWas no common intsrest-no joint

the partnership, and there must be no infdelity
to the common good. Let US all renew ou

TIE NEeRo CHURCH QUEsTIoN We have
not yet said anything on this question, and
have refused 10 publish Communications re,
garding the action of the colored people and
certain white parties acting with them, for
the reason that we hoped the trouble would
be settled outside Of the papers. We will
only give n short statement of the matter
and of the feeling Of the people of the 9th
Ward in regard to it.
lt is said that certain white people have
succeeded in splitting" the colored oongre-
CATION in the southern part of the city, and
have got the seoeders in the notion Of build
inga church in the 9Th Ward. They recently
barEained for lot on Greene st., but the
people in that neighborhood determined that
an attraction for an undesirable population
should not be made there, and by subscrib-
ing $25 to be paid the owner of the lot 70
take it back, succeeded in keeping them
away from that point The seceders seem
determined to have location somewhere In
that neighhorhood, and have now in view a
lot on the corner &C Jefferson and Chestnut
street The white people in that part Of the
city fare determined that NO hRrbor for col
Ored people" shall be erected there, or with.
in the limits Of the Ward. This SeteEsaina,
tion is deep seated, and cannot be overcome;
and VIC would advise the coiored people 20
give up the project in that direction. II
will save good deal of trouble and un-
pIeasantnessj while their persistence in the
matter win effect nothing toward their purs
poses. We may Fesur to the subject again.

HoME TRADE.-Just at this time, when the
FAN Trade may be said to be fairly commenting
and while some of our contemporaries are per-
silently directing the attention of buyen 10
Cincinnati houses, we deem it proper to attempt
to counteract the thing among our readers.-
(Right here, parenthetically, we win record a
pertinent fact or two-evety body reads the
Empirej some of them pay for it, and some Of
them borrow the reading, but all read it, wheth
er they like it or not. for IL always says some
thing they want to see.) And we will COM
mence by referring our readers to the establish
ment Of Van Ausdal, Dixon 4 Co., No. SO,
Main st., a few doors above 3D., who have as
good goods aud about as extensive assortment
as any other house any where in the vest
They can and do give as good bargains for the
same goods as Cincinnati houses. We particu-
larly call attention to their establishment, and
desire our readers to call and examine their
goods. Wefeelsure that those who want fist
class articles, at fair prices, will buy.
