Fly Hitherto, Liberty and Religion have
maintained constant and stout rivalry and,
moreover, seemed to rejoice 10 exhibiting
to the world the disgusting spectacle of hot
and eloquent practical debates as to their
respective ability to furnish decent as well
as sufficient masks rnder whose cover crime
might be safely perpetrased. The 10Th
Century must forever be esteemed fortunate
in having been the first to witness, at Har-
per's Ferry, the Holy Alliance Of the re-
cent unrelenting rivals. When Madame
Roland so passionately exclaimed against
the enors1,ities committed in the name of
Liberty alone, the iilustrious martyr little
thought that the very next generation would
behold the pulpit lending its sacred aid to
fan the ready fires kindled by the impossi-
bic dogmae Of Liberty and Equality. The
wants and necessities Of society will always
point out and shape the channel through
which We must pass. but it is only by grad
ual and almost imperceptible means that the
true and only way is found. #
Every violent wrench, or conyulsive eff
for. at reform, from the remotest chroni-
cles, down to the present day, has, without
exception, ended in confusion and disaster,
the only release from which has been quiz
city to wait for the agency Of these same
wants" and necessities" which have
constantly and kindly restored the chaos to
the shape which it had abandoned. The
disconnected patriots of France rebelled a.
gainst the passive tyranny Of King Louis,
and after convulsive agony Of twenty
years, were glad to welcome home the very
order of things which had cost sea Of blood
10 reform. The North may now march its
millions INTO our midst, and compel rs to
release our slaves from their present state
of servitudc, only, when the spasm is past,
to be again chained with the more CALLING
links which now bind the laborers of Eu-
rope and the North to the whims Of their
masters.
Or do they ask for complete revolution ?
That the negro shall be master, and the
white man Of tho South bear the same rela-
ton to his former slave, that the helpless
and degraded peasant Of the North now
bears to his lord and master Unless we
decide to return to primitive barbarism, and
once more secure living by the bow and
spear, one or the other of these things must
be. An invading army lately penetrated
into our midst, with the hope that thousands
Of disconsented slaves would flock to their
standard at the first beat Of the drum
NOT ONE ANSWERED THE SUMMONS. Had Ma
poleon landed an hundred men on the
shores of Ireland, England would have lost
Kingdom. 8*

were crowded on Sunday, in the expects
ton of hearing something about the Har-
per's Ferry rebellion. Public expectation,
it appears, was not altogether disappointed.
At Hope Chapel Rev. Geo. F. Noyes held
forth on the ''irrepressible conflict between
freedom and slavery" and pointed allusion
was made to the same thing in the sermons
of Rev. Dr.. Cheever, Rev. Mr.. Forthing-
ham and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, at the
the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. At Hope
Chapel one of the auditors rose and object
ed to the sermon as out of place on Sunday.
Madame Ernestine Rose took hand in the
discussion, and showed that We wanted Har-
per's Ferry outbreaks North as well as
South. When she took her seat strange
gentleman rose and made speech In favor
Of slavery. 4sd v
In the Shiloh Presbyterian Church, where
the congregation is composed Of colored
people Of ell Shades a sermon was preached
BY the Rev H. Fl. Garnet, in which it
was declared to be the duty of every man
who loved the cause Of freedom to declare
that the Harper's Ferry movement was right
and that any one who would not say so
boldly, had much better say nothing at all.

INTERESTING FROM CHINA.-The letters
from China, furnished by the Europa's ar
rival, confirm the statements that the resis-
lance at Peiho proceeded from the direct
orders of the Emperor from Pekin, making
this to differ from former quarrels which
have originated with the inferior anthori-
ties. The Chinese governments, it ia also
reiterated, are making great efforts TO add
to their means Of defence, which are res
ponded to by the population. Conttibu-
tions from the mobiles are making to quite a
large amount; twenty brass guns and thirty
iron ones had been added to the Peiho forts
The following items from our fles are Of
interest.
The Independence Beige states that ac-
cordiDg to the last news received overland
in Russia from Pekin, the Minister Of the
United States was in the capital. where he
was not allowed to communicate with any
external quarters. The first preliminary
ceremonies to his admission were not ye,
got through. His dispatches and ereden-
tials had been deposited at the entrance te
the Imperial Palace, in the Temple of the
Sun. where they must remain forty days t.
be purified. It ia only on the expiration o
that time that they will be laid before the
chief Of the Imperial Cabinet. who will con
fer with lis colleagues on their contents
and will bring them, if there appears rea
son for doing 50, to the knowledge Of thu
Emperor.

wy OssAwATToMIE BRoWS.-A boiderr or
worse man than that same Ossawattomie
Brown the world never knew. His single
virtue, .;linked with A. thousand crimes
was bulldog courage. Fanatic to the high
est degree-a pupil, il politics, Of the Gid
dings school-he has been taught to believe
chat the killing Of a STAKEHOLDER was an act
which God would approve. When in this
city last spring, in his lectures, he told Of
his stealing negroes and running them to
Canada-of his stealing horses, which he
then had with him for sale-of bis shooting
down shareholders, and ofother acts equally
atrocious. ''And now," said Brown, y

abolitionists, shouted. s.aye," whilst not a
single may" was uttered BY any one pre-

Such approval as this-and the question
was put at all his lectures-gave Brown
confidence that his party would sustain him
in whatever he might do against the men
the South, and thus emboldened, the mis-
cradle wretch, by servile instruction,
sought to overthrow the government and

FUNERAL OF ONE OF THE CeLoRED VIo-
TINS. Aletter in the Alexandria Gazette,
from Winchester, gives the following des-
cription ofan unusual funeral there:
The negro man Haywood, the porter con
nected with the Railroad, who was killed at
Harper's Ferry, was buried here on We'd
nesday, with military honors, He WIS a
favorite with all who knew him, and those
who have travelled over the road will now
miss the laughing countenance Of Old Hay
wood. The remains were accompanied by
Morgan Continentals, Major. B. B. Wash
ington, and two other companies, one from
Winchester and the other from Martins
burg. Their names / cannot recollect-
battalion was under the command Of Colon
el Moore. The fine band Of music, connec-
ted with the Continentals, headed the pro-
cession, and played some beautiful airs
In the procession were the Mayor Of the city,
the officers Of the regiment, in uniform,
Mr. Holiday, and other leading citizens Of
this place It was an imposing sight to
look upon, and could our Northern country
men have witnessed the funeral of old Hay
wood, and the hundreds who gathered a
round the grave, and the respectful and Sc
rious attention with which they listened to
the burial service, which was read by an old
colored preachet, there would be no such
fanatics as Brown and Cook.

forty-six members of the House Of Repre-
