THE POSTS cATEcHIsM.

Has not the time come for the people of
Massachusetts, TO pause, look al things not as
tIey would have them, but as they providen
tally exist and ask themselves what they
have gained or what they can gain, by sup
porting such politicians as Sumner and the
immediate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Post
During the last six months, our amiable CO.
temporary has asked the rebels variety of
questions concerning their future movements.
Wouldn't they forgive us for provoking them
into fight Wouldn't they bring back the
guns which Floyd prigged from the ar
senas Wouldn't they restore the money
which Cobb stole from the sub-treasuries
Wouldn't they come back to our arms
and be gentle and cosy once more? Failing
to get satisfactory returns it has lately direct
ed its nterrogatories to Massachusetts, OF
which the above is n moderate specimen. We
don't know what answers it may get else.
where, but we are reminded of "Cuddie
Ileadrigg reply TO an impertinent catechist
in Old Mortaity,-"I hae had sac mony ques-
lions speered at me in my day, and in sic
queer ways, that ye win ma wonder at my
jalousing a'thing about them" The Post
daily makes Summer and the immediate EN-
ancipalionists," the text for new chapters to
its its catechism; coupling them with an
affected friendship for president Lincoln
TO conceal the insinCerity of its purpose.
When the question is asked of the peo-
pie directly and in earnest, what they
&s-a gained by supporting men who have
CONVICTIONS, in preference 10 sponges upon pub.
lie confidence, they will give an answer which
will astonish the Post and its friends who
hold that slavery and the Union must be
saved together. They will answer it by ask.
ing, what have we lost by adhering to de
cent respect for human rights, and by sup
porting men whose lives and characters we
need as hostages for their future fidelity.
Nothing can be lost by preserving a decent
regard for principles in particular which
many honest men claim TO respect in
the general 1t makes little difference
whether Paul or Barnabas stands first
in the public councils-but when the at.
tempt shall be made to strike down either of
them on account of their faithfulness to prin-
ciples in which the masses of the people be-
lieye, and TO which the government itself is
now fully committed, we believe the masses
will rise in the iull majority OF their power, al
they have often done before, and protect the
statesmen in whom the safety of these princi
pies has been reposed.

The TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-To many
persons such question as TO "what has been
the effect OF the temperance reformation so
far" is Objectionable To them it has passed.
Uey onu cuutr"veTsy SO marked and so bene.
ficent have the results been. Possibly, how.
ever il they were called on to prove the faith
that is in them, they would find The labor not
in vain. Their own convictions would be
strengthened and, possibly, their tagging zeal
reawakened. But there are others who diff.
fer wholly from these "iricnds," denying all
that has been, or may be alleged, and who
see nothing but hypocrisy and misrepresenta-
ton on the side of temperance. On the
mass of such reasoners all argument will be in
vain. There is, however, a third party who
while free from all partisanship, sincerely de.
sire to see the affirmative established, and
whose judgment can be won only by plain,
unvarnished facts Of this number are such
men as NJ. d. Hill, the distinguished record.
err of Birmingham, who, in his work on crime,
asks fer such knowledge, and particularly for
evidence respecting the working of our Maine
law. Then, too, in every movement, there
are times for reviewing and gathering up ali

these, as we understand, that Rev A. L. Stone
OF Boston, has prepared the address we expect

difficulty obtained in that vicinity, aud only

The AMERICAN TE DEUM.-A writer in
Dwight's Journal of Music wants our soldiers
to sing the Old Hundreth psalm tune after
victory. He would wish to enter battle with
"Hal Columbia" and Yankee Doodle" and
close it with the grand strains of the "Old
Hundreth." When we consider that this old
psalm tune was prepared for the Cslvinist
psalm book in 1868, that it was adopted by
Ainsworth, in his book prepared for exiled
Puritans in Holland soon after, that it was
brought to our American shores by the first
settlers of Massachusetts, and has become the
American lie Deum with all the associations
now of three hundred years clustering about
it, what could SO grandly close victorious
day of strife as to hear it swelling from the
multitude of manly voices
