Old Tsinity Church.

For more than hall century, the maine OF
Trinity Church, New York, the ediice OF which
stands on Broadway, II the head OF Wall-street,
has been looked up 10 the fountain head OF
munificence by the weaker Episcopal Churches
all over the land. There is scarce city or town
in New York, having al Episcopal Church, which
has not been aided by her. Her landed posses
sions, even in the city of New York, are mano-
rial, aud long ago attracted the avarice of Aaron
Burr and many other INSCRIPTIONS and adyen'
turous lawyers, Who sought to divest her title
thereto; but she toiled them III, and went on,
prospecting and to prosper, under the cranpcd
title deeds Of her old Dutch bencfactors, dead
and gone two hundred years ago, until now it
appears that her great prosperity has been her
great danger.
A committee of the Vestry, appointed to re-
port on the condition of their finances, published
in The G.rehman, presents the views enter
tanned by that body upon question which has
excited good deal Of public interest. Accord
ing to this report Trinity Church, instead OF pos
ses-in. that endless and bouniless wealth which
some, both friends and foes, seem to imagine, is
in fact at this moment spending far beyond its
means, aud is undergoing rapidly consumptive
process WHICH, if no, arrested by q change of
policy, must speedily tejnee it TO poverty.
What vast, countless, and apparently mex
haustible fortunes, will melt away before the
wand of the demop-unlhrift

after the regular Wednesday evening lecture of
Rev. H. Ward Beecher, last week. in the case of
slave mother in Virginia who had been freed
with her FIVE children by the will of her deceased
mis,ress-but whom the heirs, aya.ling them
selves of legal technicaties, had again reduced
to slavery. A humane slave-dealer had bought,
them all for 81 600, and had offered the mother
their freedom for the same amount-st the same
time allowed her 10 come north, with one of her
children to raise the money-taking her word of
honor that she would return. She had collected
$500 in Philadelphia, aud now solicited $500
more. Mr.. B. called on her 10 stand up. She

Simply Ridiculous.


To those who live in Lansing, it is only neces
sary to point 10 an article headed - A SERIOUS
QUESTION" in the last Journal, to raise horse
laugh. Bailey, the Locofoco candidate for Mayor,
VIGOROUSLY used more money at the charter cleo
ton, than all other candidates combined. IL
used it until he was mad and disguised, and
swore he never would spend another cent at
election lie put it into the hands of hisfriends,
rich and poor, to spend for him, in getting votes,
vet his organ the Journal, and Mr.. Buchanan's
organ also, is simply ridiculous, absurd, and
weak enough, in bowling over the result, to say
"Is it not time to stop and reflect upon our
duties as citizens, when whole family OF voters
openly put themselves in the market? Who il
going to support this corruption of moneyed
aristocracy What man can get Office, however
worthy, il he has not money TO buy his way
through the polls:
How long can-how long ought, party to
live who will inangurate and continue such a
wicked policy.
We put these questions to candid men OF all
parties-rich and poor-high and low. II the
public mind is not ready to put down such pro-
ceedinss We might as well follow old Rome and
put up for sale all public Offices and allow them
TO plumber the people to their hearts content
Hand him hat-he wants to blush.

The Townships.

Meridian did well, and but for the rascslity OF
| the Board of Inspectors, in shutting out three
Republican voters, would have done better
This warning shows the need of having Republi-
can inspectors; AZ it was, the Locofoco Supervi-
sor crept in by one vote, the remainder Of the
ticket, with one exception, being Republican.
In Onondagn, there was rumor Of some To-
cal discussion. but she is good for .;ytv Republi-
can.
Lansing covered herself with glory, city and
township, though it was painful to observe signs
of rebellion in the township, which is strong Re-
publican. They will correct that. Locke is a
glorious Republican township, all right, every
time.
In Bunkerhill, as usual, elected Locofoco
ticket
Ingham did not come up to the mark on SUI
pcrvisor, but allowed their enemies TO elec. Lo-
cofoco by one majority, as they did in Meridian,
the rest of the ticket however, all handsomely
Republican.
Aurelius, true to the faith, as ever, by usual
majorites.
Alaiedon did not do the fair thing, and lost
everything except Treasurer and Justice
vevay did nobly.
Leslie was true 10 herself, but not quite as
wide awake as usual.
Locofoco Delhi falls off little - with . good
sound Republican Board, that township would be
all right. Reduced majority this year three.
Wheatfield and White Oak, Locofoco as ever
In Leroy, about five or six Republicans were
disaffected, and made all the mischief they
could. They succeeded in electing the entire
Locofoco ticket.
WILLIAMSON, Locofoco As usual. When will
the light shine there,
Stockbridge, upright as usual.
Upon the whole, Ingham did veil, but not as
rs well as she can and will.

What They say OF Is.

The New York Republicans, notwithstanding
they have enough to occupy themselves with at
home, have an eye to Michigan, nevertheless
The Albany Erening Journal, than which there
is no more saSacious-no more true-no more
able Republican newspaper says of the Repub-
can of Michigan.
1T was quit unnecessary for the Peninsular
State TO furnish any additional evidence of her
devotion 10 Freedom. Her past political history
is as brilliant as the future prospects Of the Re-
publican psrty. But, as it was necessary TO vote
for Judge of the Supreme Court, the true men
of ,ha, State could not forego the opportunity
afforded them to reiterate their devotion 70 the
principles and cause Of Freedom. Ann they
have done e. win an emphasis.
The election Oh Ike 4th, for Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, passed OF quietly. The re-
turns from the interior show considerable Repub-
lcan gains. and indicate the election of George
Martin, the Republican candidate, by over To-
900 majority. The Republican gains in Detroit
since last fall are nearly 500. The voices of the
East and of the West blend in pleasant harmo-
ny. The days Of pro slavery arrogance are num-
bered.
