support the Administration and the
Government.

Never in the history Of the world did the
rulers Of q nation have higher, nobler and
stronger claims upon the people to yield them
n hearty and loyal support than the present
Administration Of this country. Long before
II came into power. traitors Of the most wicked
and damnable stamp had organized gigantic
rebellion to break up the Government, the best
the world ever saw, which IL hal been called by
the voluntary choice Of free people to admin
ister. And, Notwithstanding the assurances Of
the President in his inaugural address that the
rights Of the citizen in all parts Of the country
would be respected, the foul work commenced
by the traitors was pursued, till 1t was neccs-
sary TO summon the military power to save the
c.pi,al of the nation from falling into the hands
of the traitors, and to prevent the slave power
from establishing . usurpation in the chosen
house Of frsedom. On countless occasions the
national emblem was insulted and trodden I'M
der foot, aud its supremacy repudiated.
To roll back this tide Of insult to our hag
and ,indicate its honor and supremacy, and
save constitutional government and freedom to
the country. the traitors ut the south had iei'
no alternative but that Of war. They, the
traitor secessionists Of the South. forced the
war upon the country. and however much those

We have always been taught that the
christianity of New England, from its carli-
est days to the present time, has contributed
more than any thing else to deyelope the
present high state Of culture, refinement and
civilization which renders New England pro-
eminent as an enlightened community. We
know it has become fashionable in certain
quarters, lately, to assail the membership Of
the New England churches. But we chal
lenge the world to produce the Same number
Of people any where on the face of this wide
earth, who are better people, better citizens
or better christians, than the members Of the
New England churches, Notwithstanding
some nocks may be tainted by black secession

And we further challenge the world, the
editor Of the Maine Democrat in particular,
to produce any where on thi, green earth any

The Democrat, also, in the course Of the
article from which the above extract is made,
takes occasion, IN speaking OF the New Eng

carrying on war which their preaching has

1t is vain for the Democrat to thus Islander
the clergy of New England. 1t knows that
the real authors of this war. those who
brought it upon the county both directly
and indirectly, are the secessionists Of the
South. But then we suppose we must be

A True Soldier.

The death Of Corporal ISRAEL ADAMS, Of
this city, in the recent battle before Rich
mond. caused sadness in the minds Of all
who knew him. lie was young man Of
sterling character, and possessed qualities Of
mind and heart which endcared him to all.
He was in this city last winter recruiting.
and when he left to re;join his regiment we
understand he was singularly impressed with
the belief that no should fall on the battle
field. This belief 30 strongly influenced his
mind that he left his business affairs in charge
of friend.
lie also made arrangements with another
friend, that in case he should meet soldier 8
death, the Rev. S. 5. Fletcher should preach
his funeral sermon. Pursuant to his desires
his funeral sermon will DO preached next
Sunday at o'clock p. NJ, by the clergy
man Of his choice, in the City Hall.
