Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.1
BeIo1r, Wis, July 10, 1861.
We did not arrive at Beloit until Mr.. Hell
mer's address was well under way. The sub.
ject, )" Masculine, Feminine and Neuter," WAS
handled in firm, sound, and deeply interest
ing manner. Our modern definition Of con-
seryatism he spoke Of as species OF old
fogyjEm" that would hold and stop progress
instead Of directing it. A conservative man
down the rapids Of the st. Lawrence Is he
would sail among the Thousand Is1es.' The
duty Of conservative men Is to guide and di.
rect, not to check. The right tone Of mind is
to be secured by blending and harmon zing
the masculine md the feminine-the sound
1eelc Of he one with the faith and hope Of the
other. We hare Cosmas'' BY masculine
mind, Ee need one by q feminine mind. He
beaeEea the world is going on through its
troubles to the shores of civilization.
In science, the practical OF the inventor and
dl6coVerer needs the faith OF the other sex to
do net see God. The faithful and hopeful
eyes Of woman are necessary to See God. As
the approaches to Olympus are silent to-day,
Where they were once vocal with the myth
ology Of the An.ients, 30 the approaches to
Zion might be silent, bnt for woman. In the
same Hay he spoke Of the effect Of the COM
bined masculine aud feminine In theology aud
kindred matters Of research. The masculine
or the feminine alone Woufd be useless, while
the two combined make the good effects Of
life. People should be Themselves. Men should
not need leaders. Ii men sud women are to
be automatons, they might be got up at 1ess
expense:

RESIGNATION OF DIsUNIoN CLERGYMAN IN
RHODE IsLAND.-The Providence Journal
states that on Sunday last. the Rev. Doctor
Balch, of Middletown, an Episcopal clergyman
on the island of Rhode Island, who has for
some time past supplied the pulpit of the
"Church of the Holy Cross" and has express
ed in conversation strong secession sentiments,
found, on reaching the church, the stars and
stripes" floating from the belfry. On the
Wednesday before he had been told by some Of
the people that he must not preach there any
more, lest the church should be DESTROYED by a
mob. He entered the pulpit and commenced
reading the service. In the Lesson for the day
he took the liberty of changing the "your''
into "their," IN the passage from Joel 8: 10,
" Beat your ploughshares into swords" After
the service, Instead of a sermon, he read his
resignation.

To What is Our Allegiance Due.

The new idea that has been promulgated by
the advocates of secession that allegiance to
State is higher than allegiance to our country
is paradox. Our noble State is worthy to be
loved. Her citizens have reason to be proud
of her conservation, her patriotism, her devo-
ton to the Union and the Constitution, and her
firmness when all others fell away and she re.
manned.
"Ameng the tatbless, faithful only she,"
but we are citizens of the United States. To
the Federal Government and the Constitution
our allegiance is due We may be Maryland
ers to- morrow. Our residence may be changed
from one State 10 another as business, or the
alluremenls of profit or pleasure may induce !;
we may be residents of the South ut one time,
and voters of the North soon afterward, but
wherever we 60. whether North or South.
East or West, from the ST. Lawrence to the
Rio Grande, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
our feet are still upon our country's soil, and
allegiance is still due 10 our counlry's Consti.
tuition and our country's Flag. 1t is all Com
mon country. lis greatness, it's power, it's
prosperity, It's institutions are all ours, and it's
giorles and it's memories follow US wherever,
within its boundaries, we make our homes, aAd
It's power protects Us wherever floats It's ma.
tlonal ensign.
1t is absurd TO prefer the power of the State
IN which our lot may be cast to that of our
country. 1t would be quite as reasonable TO
determine that any single man of our city
should be independent of the municipal gov
government, or that any single county of the
State shall secede from the State, or that any
individual IN the community has just as much
right to declare himself independent of the law
ful powers constitutionally established by a
majority OF the people, as to assert that State
can OF right set up an independent government
and secede from the Union.
There is no suce abstract right, and, in the
case OF the Southern Border States, policy and
interest. as well as duty, honor and patriotism
forbid such a course. When we recklessy
throw from US the guarantees of the protection
our Federal Constitution affords, the Canada
line will be brought down to the Susquehanna
Slavery in Maryland and Virginia will not be
worth rush. 1t will be made blightng
curse, and a source of unmitigated adversely
and unceasing danger. We should soon have
a repetition of our pending difficulties, and fol
like causes the secessons of the cotton States
from the Border States-free- soil zed from tht
very act of separation from the Union. Thi
Is plain Common sense. 1t is truer and worth
more that all the dictates Of passion.-Balii
