To the admirers of suc,, reformers as
the Buckeye Broad Axe ct I'd genus omns,
we commend the following extract from
an able article on John Wesley. in the July
number of Harpers' Magazine. If men
who are truly christian. or truly DESTROYS
of moral reformation can read it and eth
er deny it, or not blush at the dissertation
of the pulpit. they must be blinded by
the widest infatuatien; and if any man OF
any good principle can contrast that truly
great man. Wesley, with such moral re-
form preachers as the one above alluded to
and not blush for his participation in the
support and applause of the modern one.
then we are no judge of the true motives
of good human action, or else they must be
chained to standard of morality that
was viewed by such men as Wesley. as
one of the strongest pillars of the temple
Of Sin. But to the extract:
lis not this fair occasion for word in
behalf Of serious ministry? The very
question is reproach, but no one will de-
nv that a number of the most popular
preachers OF the (this) age are precisely
the men who have the leusst charactsris.

1t is estimated that the assess ment OF
personal property will amount to about
$3.50, 900, 900. which, with the railroad
added to the real estate, will make the to-

tax.
The assessment of personal property is
based upon the crops of the last year. which
were generally short. The prospects of
crops this year will give great increase
in the assessment of the personal property
Of the State for 1860. This showing of
the rapid increase of the wealth Of the
State during the past eight years is most
gratifying. TIE development Of the vast

Judge DOugls Letter.

The Cincinnati Enquirer answers, at
some length, and quite conclusively. as
we think. the objections urged by the
Washington Constitution against the late
letter of Judge Douglas to Mr.. Dorr Of
Iowa. Mr.. D. had inquired Of Mr.. Doug.
las whether he would permit his name to
be submitted to the Charleston Convention,
end Mr.. Douglas responds that he will.
provided the Convention rsasserts the
principles the Democratic part. has SO
long held and avowed. If, on the con-
srary. that body shall, at the demand of a
few hot heads, sbandon its ancient princi-
Piles, and insist upon the re-opening of the
African slave trade, the Intervention OF
Congress in the domestic affairs of the
Territories, DC, then he Judge d. can
not permit his name to be used. What
there is arrogant" or "dictatoIial" about
this, as is charged, we cannot imagine
Mr.. Douglas has the right TO say. and il is
proper that he should say. that be will not
become the advocate of measures 10 which
the whole record of his life stands opposed,
and we have no doubt he will be applaud
ed by all the true Democrats for declaring
that, for the sake of a Presidential nomina-
ton. he will rot abandon principles to
which his whole public life has been con-
secrated.
The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican says the letter is
almost universally approved by The DEM
ocracy at the capitcoal. and the popular
impression is that it is sensible. well-tinIed.
and orthodox--well calculated to silence
differences. and if followed up. to lead the
party TO victory in the great contest of
ls6O--whether Stephen A. Douglas be or
BE- not the standard bearer.
The question as to who should be the
nominee of the Charleston Convention. is
one not nece ssary to discuss at this time.
1t may be we'll, however, for Democratic
politicians to remember, while rejecting
upon this subject, that the Presidential
contest is to be determined by the tree
States. The slave States united could ;
and hence the Democracy have to make
their fight north of ''Mason's and Dixon's
line." if they would win the day. The
Charleston Convention, then, in making
their selection Of a standard bearer, must
do so with view to carrying several OF
the Northern States, and it is believed this
can be accomplished on the platform SO
briefly and clearly stated by Judge Doug
las in his letter to Mr., Dorr. Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey, Illinois. Indiana, and
even Ohio may be secured if wise counsels
prevail in the Charleston Convention
The Democracy. as a national party, and
as the only national party, now in exist
ence, is rapidly recovering its influence
and nothing but the blindest fanatic,sm
ard the most criminal sel6shness on the
pat - aspiring men can work its over
throw. The country will look to the wis
dom, moderation, and sound judgement
of the Charleston Convention for protec-
ton against tho political disasters which G!
would follow the triumph OF the RePubl'-
can party.--New Alany Ledger.

tbs of minister as described in the New
Testament.
The desire of popularity has degenera.
ted into an INSCRIPTIONS lust and as the
tendency Of the popular mind is to infdel
ity, with growing relish for buffonery
and bombast. the pulpit ossequiously bow
to the prevailing taste. "All things to ali
men," in a sense that 81. Paul never dream.
ed of, is the high road to popularity. =
TO gain the lovers of merriment another
makes stage of his pulpit, and turns
comic actor. Galleries, aisles and vesti
bules are crowded to overlooking. The
play runs through an hour and half, du-
ring which wit, droleries and naked bias
phemies, with an occasional satire launch
cd against some social evil, make up the
compound of what is facetiously called a
sermon The gaping and laughing crowd
retire. some swearing i. beats anything at
Burton's, while others console themselves
with the conclusion that Christianity after
all is no very serious affair. In the sacred
name Of religion we protest against this
shocking proclamation. II it must be so,
lot life and death, heaven and hell, become
the infdel's scorn and Jest. Let men, if
they will, turn funerals to frolc. and tomb
stones into card -tables-let them die like
Hume, joking about Charon and his
boat; but let the church re nain a refuge
for those who think religion more than
fiction or farce. If the deep concern for
mortal man that marked the ministry of
such men as Jonathan Edwards snd John
Wesley is becoming an obsolete anxiety.
let us have, at least, the serious behavior
due to christian ethics; for these are not
much doubted as yet. and possibly it may
one day be found out that there is some
truth in Christian doctrine"
There. ye praying, sacrament partaking,
religion protesting. followers of John
Wesley, what think ye Of your parade and
applause on the floor and benches Of your

bath day? Wesley not only wrote
''No line which, dying, he would BLOT
but his maxim was, "Do everything as in
the immediate presence of God"
Compare the result of his labors with
those OF your modern reformers above de-
scribed, and if you do not blush for the
manner in which you practice your own
professions. as well as for contrast between
your great founder and some of his suc-
cessors whom ye applaud. then is your
