We clteerfully give place to the oommunica-

article which elected it, was prompted By
sense Of obligation consequent upon the belief
that Christianity ia tic only bnsis Of perrna-
ncnt civilization, that it is essential to the sue
cess Of Republican institutions, and that it is
tho only sure agency for e1adicating crime
and its accompanying erils. Viewed in
this light, the subject il eminenuy a pro-

1t will be observed that our estimates only
are called in question. The great fact that
very large proportion Of the population Of our
cities pass their lives without religious instruc-
ton, romans undisputed- Whether the proper
ton be flew thousand moro or legs than our e.
timate made it, II comparatively of little
consequence Viewed in the most "a
vosab1e light possible, the evil is Of
sufficient mag gnitudo to awaken The
most active enquiry rs to how it may be
rcmodied. We conceive that it is not beyord
reach. Any other hypothesis is an implied
admission that Christianity is failure. Again
We SAT, the question involved in the facts we
have cited, il among the most important that
can engage the attention Of earnest Christians
and patriots

Our readers did not fail TO notice in otlr dis
patches yesterday, a statement that three hun
dred medical students have left the two mcdl-
cal colleges Of Philadelphia, and gone to their
homes or 10 other colleges in the South. The
explanation is easy. These young southrons,
with more brass than breeding, and moro i'm
pudence than sense, forgot that they were not
in a slaveholding State; and when Nj: George
William Curtis spoke on the slavery question,
a few evenings siuce, mustered in force to do

coward1y mob put the speaker to flight The
vigorous measures Of Mayor Henry, and the
activity Of the police force under his command,
frustrated the benevolent intentions Of these
young gentlemen by causing few Of them to
be lllmmeled over Tho head, and small army
Of them to be shut up in the watch-house. At
all events, the right Of decent American cie'
zons in Philadelphia, to meet in peace and dis
cuss questions Of national concern, without
molestation, was, to the infinite disgust q
Mess1s- Calomel L Jalap, maintained. The
