DIR. Tying on the War,

vi all the addresses OF anniversary week in
this city, there probably was not one that did
not contain some allusi0n to the shareholders
rebellion, its causes or probably const quences,
but none appear to have made 50 deep a sen
sailon as that Of DR.. Tying, the rector OF ST.
Georges, before the American Temperance
Union. Unfortunately, the daily papers gave
only the brleteSt outline Of his speech, which
is declared by many OF those who listened to
it to have been exceedingly impressive, stir
ring and eloquent. A friend who was present
sends us the following sketch of portion of
his remarks
81 hold in my hand a reply to my last years
speech before this society, in which am made
blacker than any other man except DR.. Chez
yer. Well, it am as white a man as lie is,
/ am not ashamed of myself, and let me say
to those who are attempting TO find fault with
his spirit and to put him down, when God has
given any man such work to do as he has
given to George b. Cheever, he does not call
him to descend to such matters as they would
throw in his way. Let them also understand
that lie will not be put down while can help
him. This war may last one year or five, or
it may last ten, but when it is ended, not a
slave will be found on this soil.
81 have no fear of its result. Massachusetts
alone can, if time be given her, destroy the
traitors. There is in our midst no tortured
and mangled slave to ayenge his wrongs and
every man can be spared to meet the traitors,
the thieves and the towards who whip and
torture feeble women. The women of Yer
mont can defend the state against all invaders,
and every man can be spared for the war.

essentially righteous war, is going to end but

The friend who sent us this report of Dr.
Tyngs words, further says
"The Express says that the remarks of the
reverend gentleman had the effect to rouse the
assembly to the highest pitch of enthusiasm
and his speech was hailed with continuous ap.
plause. He glorfied federalism and denounc-

at religion and he characterized what he
called that infamous squad Of men, Buchanan
and his cabinet as nest of traitors, who
would be despised and spoken against as long
as Satan lived and good men hated him. We
