As DR.. Taylor came 80 near TO getting INTO
most worldly and unsanctified PASSION we cannot
sufficiently commend the philosophical resolution
of the Rev. DIR. Tying, who determined T" TINS day
"to say nothing upon the subject" Of Slavery,
fearful of "starting up irritable and lrasclDie
"men." DR.. Tyng's slightly atrablllous condition
affords strong contrast to the cheeriulness, not
to say the jollity,- of the Pastor OF the Broad
way Tabernacle, who said: 81 have seen as
"many smiling faces of late as l could possibly
uernect. - In pord, ,re are all
" Comfortably This gives The Express an eA-
cellent chance to compare DR.. Thompson to Nero
fddlipp, &C., which we trust that paper will not
neglect.
The gentleman who improved this memorable
occasion in the most thoroughly practical way
seems to have been the Rev. Mr.. Van Dyke (oi
the First Brooklyn Presbyterians), who SAID:
1.-THE @. S. Presby terians are as wealthy re-
.'ligous body as any in the country, and yet
"durng the past year the contributions from oil
{" the members for religious purposes do not ex-
ssceed two dollars a head" Dsgraceful We
have not always agreed with the Rev. Mr. Van
DYKE. but now we do most heartily. Again we
say, dsgraceful!
We hardly have reserved space IN winch 10
speak of the many excellent discourse' pro-
nounced in our sister city OF Boston upon tho
Rucbapan Fast Day. To one sentiment enuncia-
tod bv the Rev. John T.. Todd We must give
ulace. II is this: Suppose Slavery is as wrong
as the stoutest Garrisoniau would believe 1t to
ssbe. there is no reform which is worthy OF
81 being purchased by revolution" This is neat
hit, but it is harder upon the memory OF john
and Samuel Adams and James Otis than upon
the living Garrison.
We do not know that we have read any Bos-
ton sermon with so much pleasure as that dellv-
cred by DR.. (Southside) Adams, who said: "To
"a Northeruer, the South, with its warm, gen.

feather us; wouldn't give way to the amable
impulse of inserting bowie-knives into our bodies,
or of hanging -good.naturedly, Of course;
wouldn't mob defenseless women; wouldn't NAL
treat honest mechanics; wouldn't grow angry aud
threaten TO wage war upon US. When they re-
form in these respects, we promise not TO yield
even TO the Rev. DR.. Adams in our admiration
for the" yellow jasminep'
Other words were uttered upon that Day of
Humiliation, by other men--cheap and common
words repetitions Of the stale beatitades, tedious
enumerations Of the charities. weak and witless
pleadings for those whom God cursed so long
ago. Here and there fanatic yentured to re-
besrse the Golden Rule--but what have We TO do
