The reply Of the Chinese Government to the
uItimatu,n OF the British and French renders ii
certain that the war will be renewed. The
Chinese have made preparations for the most
obstinate resistance. aud rely with confidence
on their ability TO repeI the invaders. 1t is
evident. from the tone Of their reply, that they
cherish feelings Of especial aversion to the
English, and that they will refuse TO them com.
mercial and religious privileges which they
would cheerfully grant TO the Americans, and
even to the French. John Bull is clearly un.
der the necessity Of compelling their friendship
BY hard blows, if be ever enjoysii atall. Bus
mess correspondents write from China that tbs
prospect Of new war has very depressing
effect upon commerce, and that merchants for.
bear entering upon new specuIalions Of any
kind. There is danger, too, that, with the re
newal Of the war, the rebel excitement may b,
renewed. A rebel force Of nearly 10000 10 il

Rev. Geo. Sheldon, General Agent of the

At the conclusion of the sermon, at each pace

the latter $l7--in all, 81. This was doing

Adjournment of Congress.

Monday, at IL o'clock, the FIRST session of
the Thrty-sixth Congress terminated, in pur-
suance of the resolution to that effect passed
by the two Houses. In the House, she Post
Office Deficiency Bill was finally passed. Two
messages were received from the President,
one announcing his approval of the Civil and
Miscellaneous Bill. with protest against the
appointment of Captain Meigs, by Congress, to
the Superintency Of the Washington Aqueduct,
and the other containing vindcation of him
self against the accusation and authority of the
Covode Committee.
10 the Senate the Post Route Bill was passed
and sent TO the House. Letters were received
by the Senators from the President, and proc.
amation was read for an executive session
Tuesday at IL o'clock. After vote of thanks
to the Vice President the Senate adjourned.
A Protective Tariff, Pacific Railroad Bill,
a Homestead Bill, the codifcation of The Rev.
enue Laws, the admission of Kansas, the re- or.
ganization of Navy Yards, and seven hundred
private claims, are left as unfinished business.
One quarter of the working hours of the House
session, by the record, have been consumed in
strivings TO get the floor, in raising "points Of

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Nothing to US is moro plain than that the Re
publican party is not to be relied on as the party
Of Freedom /; and though they may succeed this
are, before another Presidential election there will
be radical abolition party in the field, and con-
servaiVe Repubconism and Douglas d mocracy
will be found acting unitedly together. The diff
ference between them is now mcrrly nominal
Douglas squatter sovereignty is to be modified By
the doctrine as held by Mr.. Thayer, Republican
Member Of Congress from Massachusetts, and be-
como a prominent plank in the Republican plat
form. Mr.. Thayer would give the right to the in
habitahts of new Territory to organize
themselves, appoint their own officers,
MIX, th9ir own laws and form their own in
stitutions, without any enabling act of Congress ;
the U. S. Government having no right TO intervene
except to take care of its property in said terri
tory
We know many democrats who think this the
only true ground, and they will readily unite with
their republican brethren in its support. In this
way says conservatism, the troublesome slavery
question can be disposed of and the party become
popular and predominant.
From recent articles in the Tribune and the
Tines it is plainly to be they already IA
voring this doct'no, ss also quite number of
the present Republican Members of Congress.
The party have ruined themselves by their un-
called for concessions to slavery. They have been
always ready, hat ia hand to assure shareholders
they did not intend to interfere with slavery in the
several states and territories where it is already
established, and Mr. Lincoln assures them that he
would be for admitting a new state with slavery If
the people desire it. They only mean to prevent
it from going into territories where it has not al.
ready gone. Can Sumner Love;oy, our own Sedg-
wick and many others, narrow down their opposi-
tion to this internal institution to this point?
If the people who Ike slavery are to continue it
where it now is, why not let majority of tho peo-
pie introduce it where it is not if they wish to do
so. We ask our Republican friends if their posi-
toh IS not clearly illogical and inconsistent.
The doctrine of squat.er sovereignty as taught
by Thayer. is thousand times more consistent
than this kind of opposition to slavery where there
is no slavery to oppose.
Gentlemen, there is only one OF two ways open
before you, you must take either Squatter Sover-
eighty, or Radical Abolition. On the former plat
form you are sure of defeat, on the latter of
ultimate triumph.

A NORTHERN COLLEGE BY A SOUTHERN
ARTIST.

The New Orleans Picayune gives the following
sketch of Oberlin.
1t is one of the most pregnant proofs and illus
tratiOns Of the fact that we inhabt the freest
country, and live under the freest institutions in
the world that, oin1e the year 1884, there has
been permitted 10 eriSt within our borders such a
collegiate establishment as Oborln College, Ohio;
an institution whose teachings and inculcations,
and whose influences and practical results, are all
ia the manifest direction Of the most traitorous
hostility to the Constitution and the laws of the
Repubhc.
In the year above named this college was foun-
ded under the direction of a sect calling them
selves Evangelical COngrega their evan
gel being treason, and their neophytes and cate
chumens being congregation Of incipient traitors,
The founding Of this school desecrated the name
land, by calling it after his name. It is located
in the tract known as "The Western ReserVe"-
SO long represented in Congress by the potorous
Giddings-the very center of A5olitionsm, where
(as truly says a late New York Journal of Com
merce) the people are born aboli:onists, and
where Abolitionism is taught 40 "the chief end
of man." and often put in practice. Negroes are
matrieulated at this institution freely as whites,
and neither age nor sex form any distinction in
the admission Of pupils. They are sent there to
learn treason, just as in Christian communities
children are sent TO the Sabbath or secular school

The use their teachers make Of a the usual bran.
ches Of education Is TO inculcee principles OF deep
hostility to the bcs: interests Of their country
The practical application, for example, Of arithne
dc at Oberin, is to compute the number of slaves
10 the Union, and their value per capm. Geosra
J ply is only considered useful as teaching those
who learn it the boundary lines, and those local
ties of slave territory supposed to DO favorable to

ground railroad and the proper citations along it,
at which TO rest on their way to Canada. With
history, at O5erlin, are learned the chronicles Of
the peculiar instituti0n and with ethics and phi
Iosophy, "the higher law" and resistance to the
law Of the land The end of all this teaching is
we'll summed up by our New York contemporary
as follows:
'Oberlin is the nursery of just such men as J ohm
Brown and his followers. The grAdu-
aes are Masters of Art in Aboltionsm, and, with
the requirement of their degrees are prepared to 60
a degree or two further if occasion requires. Here
is where the younger Browns" obtain their con
cientiOusuess in ultraism, taught from their era

connected with this pcrnicous collegiate establish

quainte1 with one of his most fruitful sources of
those dangers to our institutions which, accumu-
lating and gaining strength with every years

Union and the best interests of our country; and
because We would show that it is not political
partzanship and demagoguica self-seeking alone
which have brought these evils upon us, though
they have not been inefficient to that end but that
it is 10 misguided religious zeal, heated to she

the propagation of dogmas and principles, the
tendency of which is to overthrow all that IL yalu
able in our political system.
