\ NATIoNM CoNsclNcE-Thcrc seem q
be two general methods Of dealing with 4ucs-
,ion- Of national importance One Incthoj
recognizes the fact that nations are like indi-
'iduals accountable. and that schemes rela-
ting to the entire commonwealth should like
others, lee brought to moral test The
Other method, which has been very extern
siyelv adopted, even by those who fully re
cognize moral and religious claims a. bind
ing upon individuals, deals with national af-
fairs as if they combined 50 many varied and
conflicting Interest,", and were so far above and
beyond the sphere Of individual responsibility
that they eannot properly be brought TO moral
test. That which seems to be good policy in
such affairs, is held to he right. Much
plsusibility, doubtless is given to this view,
by the seeming impossibility of controlling
or even calculating, the elements which en-
ter into and make up the sum total of na-
tional prosperity or adversely. We notice,
therefore, that with the single exception Of
slavery, no political subject is presented By
politicians with reference 10 its moral char
acter. and even this exception is made an tx
ception by only few radical men. The
method employed By President Lincoln, in
dealing with the practical questions present
ed TO him for decision, seems to incline very
strongly toward the first method noticed
His theory is certainly decidedly in favor Of
the recognition Of national conscience. In
his Proclamation appointing April 50th, as
day Of fasting, humiliation and prayer, he
gives especial reason for this observance, that
Is perhaps somewhat peculiar in such doc
ument, and gives us an insight into his views.
Besides the common and general statement
that it is the duty Of nations to recognize
their dependence, it contains the acknowl-
edgement that We may justly fear that God
is visiting n with severe chastisements to
the needful end of our reformation as a whole
people. Though we have received material
blessings such as NJ other nation has ever
received. though We have grown in wealth
and power beyond al precedent vet we have

IMPORTANT TO IEACHERs.-A very remark

facts that ought TO command the attention Of
the civilized world. The pamphlet is written
by +. Chadwick, ESQ, c. B., and published

Olive Jane when it was captured, with the
purpose Of emigrantig to America, relates
his experience ofthe pirate in the Journal

the narrative says
While every man on board the Olive Jane was
thus busy arranging their boxes, trunks, &c,
TIE sailors and officers Of the Alabama demolished
