The New York EVaagelist argues that il is
the business of the churches to help the cir
culation Of religious papers, and urges 1t
upon them. Perhaps it is; but circulation
secured by religious duty and church aid, is
fatal to all Journalistic enterprise. Why
should publisher invest money to increase
the ability Of his paper, when his subscribers
are secured by duty and denominational
obligation, and he has nothing to do but to
narrow the circle of thought and intensity
bigotry, and pocket the proceeds2
We might refer to an illustration. The
Methodist Church makes the publication Of
its religious journals the business of the
Church. TheOonference appoints the editors
from the Clergy. The proceeds go into the
Church Treasury, and of course it is the duty
of every member to subscribe to the church
newspapers. And while there has been great
progress in the independent religious jour-
mails, as much as in any other sphere of jour-
nalism the Methodist papers have kept far
behind the age.
But after the action of the General Con-
ference, last summer, on the rule on slavery,
Methodist journal was established in New
York, independent of the Conference, to op-
pose the change in the rule. This paper
which is called The Methodist depending on
its own resources, takes rank with the New
York Observer, Independent, and Evangelist
in the various departments ofa general news
and religious paper, and shows a marked
difference from the Conference papers, in lib
erality of tone toward other denominations.
The comparison is not favorable to the pa
pers which are controlled by the clergy, and
whose circulation is secured by sectarian
feeling, and seems to prove that the less re-
lgious newspapers depend on Church dis
cipline, the better for their usefulness.
General competition is the best incentive to
enterprise in religious as we'll as other pa
pers; and the voluntary system is as
valuable in the support of religious journals,
as of the clergy.

Is nothing but an armed invasion, at every
recapture, which tremples upon all legal
principles and all personal safety in
the free States. And for this the North
pays two-thirds of the cost and furnishes
the men. What other property or human
right was ever so protected in any govern
ment2 What do we get in return2 Our
citizens who visit Mr.. Yancey's section, at
tending strictly to their own business, and
careful not to disturb the prejudicec Of the
pCople, are less safe from brutality, robbery
and murder, than they would be among the
most barbsrous tribes in any other part of
the globe And when the inhabitants of q
Territory which had survived Southern in-
vasion and Federal oppression and rascality
and had formed constitution, with COM
petent number of inhabitants, prayed Con-
gress to establish peace and harmony by
admitting her into the Union, the South
unanimously refused it, because, in the ex-
ercise of the right which the South pretends
to concede, she had forbidden slavery.
Mr.. Yancy did not answer the interroga-
tory about that on Saturday night. He
avoided the question, but boasted of his
ability at repartee.
A Homestead Law on which the people
had set their hearts as means of prevent
ing land monopoly, is refused by the South,
because slavery wants large tracts of land,
and don't want small white homesteads in
contact with it,
And yet Mr.. Yancey comes before an in
telligent Northern audience and talks in the
king Cambyses vein," about the wrongs
of bis section, from our aggressions. Repre-
senting nothing but a miserable strife be-
tween factions of the same party, both riding
the negro excitement with whip and spur,
he comes here and enacts, by turns the per-
secuted "Pecksniffh and the "Ancient Pts
toll" and in the safety Of the Opera-hOuse,
he calls-"Come Atropos, sayl Why
then let grevious, gaping wounds untwine
the sisters three p and exclaims: "Ifthis be
treason, make the most of itp And then
folds his arms and takes an attitude as if he
had braved instant martyrdom, and ex-
pected the audience to tear him limb from

face to wear during that operation. AS the
admiring 'Dame Quickly" exclaimed, when
the chivalrous Knight "Falstaf" performed
in the same vein: 30 rare it is as like one
ofthose harlotry players as ever seep
We said yesterday, that the position of
Mr.. Yancey, or of the Breckinridge party, on
slavery is on the same principle as that of
the Republicans, and in its results is rather
more logical; but Mr.. Yancey's speech did
not touch any principle. His argument did
not touch any real position of any party.
The tone Of it was low return for northern
courtesy, and for the liberality of the small
Breckenridge party in providing him so mag
nifcent house. His arguments were of the
same character as those of Douglas, with less
skill and cunning. His speech has collapsed
the reputation which imagination had Gre
ated for him here, and has reduced him to
the level of the common, stumping, ambi-
tious and inscriptions politician.
Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1860-10-22

In HAS been well said that Mr.. Yancey's
speech at the Opera-house was a plea ap-
parently designed to be addressed to body
Of negro-stealers, exhorting them not to
steal the negroes of the South, and threaten
ing them with consequences in case they
failed to comply. 1t is vulgar idea that
the North is full of Abolitionists, as it is
that the South is full of men in favor of dis
union. The great majority of the people of
the Northern States trouble their consciences
as little about the moral evil of slavery as
their ancestors the shippers of New Eng
land, did about the wickedness of the
slave-trade. The perpetual tendency of
the nominally anti-slavery party in the
North to ease off on its principles at the ap-
proach of an election, is evidence of this
which a Southern politician ought not to
overlook. We keep our qualms and our
scruples for times when they can be aired
with safety, and grow amazingly stringent
and conservative when the time for making
them practical approaches. Mr.. Yancey
ought to understand this matter, for, in spite
of his present moderation, he has his periods
of rampancy against the Union; and, what
is especially curious, they correspond exactly
with those in which our Republican journals
and politicians are farthest over on the anti
slavery tack. In both sections of the Con-
federacy, the hot and cold stages occur at
the same seasons of the year.
There is fact in this connection which
Mr.. Yancey ought not to have kept out of
sight that conscience anti-slavery and legal
anti-slavery both are Southern productions.
1t was not New England but the Old Domin-
ion that proclaimed to the world, through
her statesmen, that slavery is great moral
and political evil. 1t was not Massachusetts,
that demanded, but Virginia that volunteered,
an eternal prohibition of slavery in the ter
ritory northwest of the Ohio: and while
ruling elders OF Puritan churches, having
first asked the prayers of the congregation
upon their venture, were landing cargoes of
Africans in the Chesapeake. Washington
and Jefferson and Madison were bemoaning
the prospective consequences of these i'm
portations, and trembling for their country
when they reflected on the justice of God.
The truth is that Northern anti-slavery-
except in few fanatical cases-is initiative;
being formed upon the Southern model.
With that implicit confidence which obedi-,
ent children are enjoined to entertain in
such cases. we quote from the great men of
the early republic-the patriotic presidents of
the Virginia dynasty-exalled sentiments in
favor of universal liberty. But as those
gentlemen, while in the full enjoyment of
the feelings Of enlarged humanity to which
they gave such elegant and forcible express
sion, prudently kept their negroes in their
own power, so we are entirely willing to air
our vocabularies upon mutahs mutandis the
same terms. We can not deny ourselves the
luxury of philanthropic sentiments, but are
quite willing that the people of the South
should manage their colored people in their
own Way and take the consequences.

The Prince has finally escaped from the
United States. "There is divinity doth
hedge Prince" Nothing short of that
could have saved him from the dismal fu-
neral ceremonies over old bones, and the
dismal shaking of living bones, which they
call reception, at Washington; from the
Southern hospitality of Richmond, the vio-
lent brotherly-love of Philadelphia, the
Plugs of Baltimore; the City Council ban
ditt, and the shoulder-hitters, swindlersan
common thieves that monopolize the mu-
Mcipal Offices at New York, the dangers Of
ball, managed by old fossils, clergymen
and pious publishers of tracts on the sin of
dancing, and the perils of city where only
rascality is safe; where on Broadway the ear
never gets beyond the bray of the mock
auctioneers, and where they elect swindlers
and thieves to offices, and arrest women and
children and send them to the Tombs on
suspicion of an intention to ask charity.
The Prince has escaped all this. 1t took
a special Providence to pull him through,
and should be commemorated by special
thanksgiving when he gets home. AT Bos-
ton, providential care over him became
easier, owing to the superior civilization of
the people. Even the New York papers
admit that the Boston reception and ball was
a success. They did not undertake mill
tary display so large that they could not
maneuver it. They did not fag the Prince
waiting its unwieldy movements. Their
hall was either not managed by clergymen
and deacons, or these professions are more
accustomed to balls in Boston than in New
York.
At two places in the United States the
Prince has found people with whom he could
associate without risking his personal safety.
One of these is the Athens of America, and
the other the Queen City of the West. In
these two places he escaped rudeness, i'm
pertinent intrusion and vulgar ostentation,
ard was treated with the courtesy that be-
longs to civilized people. Two places in
the United States will leave an impression
of pleasure on his mind, unmingled with
annoyance or personal danger. There are
just two places in the United States where
they not only know how to keep a hotel, but
how to entertain a Prince.

THE GREAT "FLoYD" Gun SUCCESS
A special dispatch from Washington, to the
New York Times, states that the committee
appointed to test the monster gun, recently
cast at the Fort Pitt Works Pittsburg,
under the superintendent of Lieut.. Rod
man, have made favorable report, but ad-
wise further experiments. The Secretary of
War has ordered the trial to be continued
until the gun shall have been shot 800 times.
The longest range required was 8, 73O yards,
with forty pounds Of powder, and a shell
weighing 32l pounds, the elevation being
twenty-eight degrees. The shell was in the
air twenty-seven seconds. At an elevation
of five degrees, the shell struck at 1000
yards; on level, l,735 yards. A shell,
with seventeen pounds of powder, exploded
in the sand, opening crater three feet deep,
twelve feet long, and ten feet wide. Amer
the sixty-fourth shot the gun was examined
with a star-gauge, and no enlargement was
found.

ALTHOUGH not extravagant in dimensions
the Breckenridge party provided rather mu-
nifcently for their Yancey demonstration.
1t is not often that the most elegant opera
house on the continent, with its fine orches-
ira, is provided for political meetings. The
thing, including the salary of the dramatic
company for the performance which was
omitted, must have walked into the "Na-
tional funds to the tune of not less than
$500. This secured Mr.. Yancey an audience
of between 1900 and 1000 people, free from
the noise and discomfort of outdoor audi
ences, and the admirable acoustic proper
ties of the house enabled the speaker to
reach every ear without extraordinary effort.
The superior excellence of the orchestra we
have remarked on other occasions. Al the
Princes ball it was distinguished. 1t is
worthy Of the house, and was a rare enter
tainment for political meeting. Our Breck-
inridge friends have the satisfaction Of hav-
ing done their part of the demonstration in
magnificent style.
