DISCOURSE.

TEXT--4s free, and not using your liberty for
cioak Of nga!icjousneSs, but the servants #
Cod Peter, II, xvi.
This inspired letter was designed to
have an extensive and general application.
while its couDsels and consultations were
primarily intended for the benefit of the
Christians dispersed throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bythinia,
yet its promises and its preccpts are adap-
ted to the varying circumstances OF be-
levers in every country and in every age.
The disciples addressed in the text,
though al residing within the limits OF
the Roman Empire, yet were IN different
provinces, under different governors. and
were ruled through different institutions,
and usagcs, and laws, administered by va
rious degrees of wisdom. That is to say,
the vast empire which exercised ge.,crat
goCeJnDlent over all the provinces was sub
divided into districts or states, each of
which had its local Institutions and ru-
icrs but all so united as TO form one
grand and powerful mutton bound to-
gcther by general laws, and subject TO the
control OF those national statutes which
gave the Roman citizen a name that was
honored and an influence that was felt
throughout the world. Now, in the con-
text, the Spirit Of God, by the Apostle,
gives these disciples the rule aud measure
Of their obedience to the government un-
der which they lived -"submit yourselves
to every ordinance Of man" While the
duty here inculcated is Of general applica,
ton, it was particularly suited to the spe-
cial circumstances Of these early Chris
tians. They lived amonga people avowediy
heathens and bitterly hostile to the gospel,
and who looked with prejudice and hatred
on all who had embraced it. Hence the
urgency Of the Apostle in calling upon
them to be meek and harmless, to be cx-
emplary and obedient to those who had
the rule over them. The Roman govern
ment was likely to be obnoxious to the
feelings and principles Of men, whose spir-
it had no fellowship with many of the acts
It performed and many Of the designs it
pursued. Was there not, then, danger
lest these Christians should fall into the
sin OF despIsng government which was
so corrupt in its principles and SO cruel in
its practices as that under which they
lived Might they not, under these cir
cumstances, be tempted to suppose that
they were not only at liberty, but required
by sense of duty, to disobey men who
held their authority upon questionable
grounds, and who often exercised ii in the
worst possible way The Apostle adapts
his instructions to persons SO peculiarly
situated lie lays down and explains the
true principles of Christian obedience to
government, and provides an antidote
against that spirit OF factious opposition
and rebellion which is so ready to rise in
circumstances where men think that their
rights are invaded, their principles insul-
ted, or their liberties endangered.
But while the inspired direction of sub
mission to.the ordinance Of government

respectfully solicit copy of the same for

Provisional Congress bad enacted new tariff

was reported but not acted on. The papers

The Indignity to General Twiggs.

One Of the last acts Of Mr.. Buchanan's admin
Etration was to strike from the army roll, as
traitor, the name Of the veteran Twiegs, the
oldest General officer in the service, whose whole
life has been devoted to his country, and whose
blood has been shed on many well-fought field
in honor Of the star-spanglcd ensign of the
Republic, when it was known and honored
throughout the earth" The soul which, under
tire circumstances could dictate such an act, is
mean and little; and the heart throbs to any
but noble impulses. Such soul, in fact could
dance a hornpipc upon the sharpcncd point Of
half a sickly starbcam; and such heart if an
honorable feeling shonld, by accident, infringe
upon IT, would only send forth the sharp, empty
grating sound which comes from broken wine
bottle, out Of which the generous liquor has all
evaporated. In ancient times, ii was the custom
10 crown with wreath of oaken leaves, him
who had saved the life of u citizen. But new
system has bccn inaugurated; and now, he who
had the heart to love his native land, who had
the courage to violate the laws of soldicrly eti-
qucttc, rather than lift his swordagainst that land
of his birth and plunge it into the horrors of
civil war, he, the veteran Twiggs, is published
to the world as traitor! Out upon such cruel
falsehood such blasphcmy upon the name of
patriot! Out upon the hypocritical rulers the
weak-minded wcak-hearted mon, who wanting
the nerve and the magnanimity to meet the cr
sis in their countrys affairs as ii should have been
met, could Gully vent their spleen and exhibit
their indebtedness by wicked effort to injurc
the reputation of man, beside whom, in the
hearts of true men and on the pages of history,
they will stand, as night compared with sun
sirine, or as7iell with heaven. But, thank good.
ness, the day has passed, when paper bulls of
accommodation could serve the purposes of
sectarian or partizan bigots. Courses Oft come
home to roost;" and we feel confident that the
stigma which Buchanan, Holt and Scott have
vainly tried to fix upon the name of the patriot
Twiggs, will cling to theui as the blackest spot
Of the many that darken their fame Their own
hearts-but VIC forget; they have none the
memory Of the hearts which once thrilled their
beings with lofty impulses, will be constantly
crying out to them:
:. BECOME! Run 10 your homes fall upon your knees I
Pray to the Gods to intermt the plague
That needs must light upon such ingratitudc." |

Hon. JACOB THOMPSON.
Reconstruction; How it is to be Accom-
pished.

From all the evidences now before us, we are
satisfied that the Black Republicans are looking
forward to a reconstruction of the Union, and
that the failure Of Lincoln TO inauguratc co
ercive policy against the seeded States is to be
accounted for only upon the hypothesis that he
desires to effect, by seduction, what he doubts
his ability to do by force. He has been persuad-
ed. by the Unionhowlers Of the Border slave
States, that those States, in any event. will ad-
here to the Union, and that IL will be easy to
countcract the efforts of the secessionists in those
States by some nominal but empty concession
to slavery-such as the ridiculous proposition to
amend the Constitution 50 as forever to prevent
Congress from abolishing slavery-whch shall
serve as the pretcxt for Submission" lie ex-
poets further, by judcious distribution Of Off
cia patronage among the Southern traitors in
the Border slave States, to build up and estab-
lish in them an organized Black Republican par
ty, in full sympathy with that party in the
Northern States. The Louisville Journal, the
Memphis Bulletin, the Knoxville Wing and
other papers of that stamp, have already shown,
by their recent outgvings, that they arc ready,
willing, and eager, to lend their aid TO the pro-
motion of Lncoln's schemes, and to incite their
people, il they can to imbruc their hands in the
blood of their brethren in the Confederate States.
firmly fastened to the Union, under the DONNA
ton of Southern Black Republican party, Lin
coin will turn his attention to the seeded States
lie is fool enough to believe that secession is UNI
popular in the Confederacy, and that our people,
if they had chance TO vote upon the question,
are so bcsotted with blind love for the Union
that they would ncontinently leap to his en-
brace lie gloats over every lying paragraph
that appears in the submission journals of the
Southern States, purportng to disclose what
is alleged tn be " the settled discomfort Of the
people of the Confederate States; and he i'm
AGNES that he will have to wait but little while
before that discomfort will take the form of
counter-rcvolution, when he anticipates that
Carolina to Texas, and that it will be easy for
the Federal Government of the United States to
interpose and turn the scale in favor of those
who desire to see the shacklcs of Black Rcpub-
licansm rvctcd upon the States which now COM
pose the Confcderacy. THE plot is very
good plot" The chief difficulty about It is, that
it is based upon total misapprchension of the
sentiments and wishes of our people. They
are patriotic and intelligent. They comprehend
the purposes of Lincoln and his myrmidons
and they have sagacity enough to perceive that
reconstruction, upon such terms as Black Re-
publicanism proiIers, involves, on their part,
more of wrong and humiliation than any civilized
people on earth have ever yet submitted to. n
