Dr.. Huntington based his discourse upon LIST
Corinthians. XII; 4, 8, 6: Now there are di-
versities Of gifts hut the same spirit. And there
are differences Of administration, but the same
Lord, and there are diyersities Of operations but
it j. the same God which worketh in ALL
From this passage he deiuced the proposition
that in the advancing economy Of Christ's king
dom, Variety in Unity and Unity under Variety
are related principles Of life. which support each
other, and are in order to the aggressive progress
Of the whole. He illustrated this from the Unity
which has been discovered by Science in the
Natural World, unity Of design becoming mani
fest as We investigate. in the Mineral kingdom,
in the Vegetable, and in the Animal. While
drawing an illustration from Geology, Dr. Hunt
ington. in a fine episode, maintained that God
had, with all its variety of soil and climate, in
tended our Country TO be one, ior one people, and
that such it must be. The speaker found the
truth of his man proposition also e1empli6ed il
Man in Society, the boundless variety Of Indi-
viduals and Tribes and Nations which God has
set out to represent different ideas-as Rome, the
will, Creed. the Imagination; Judea, the con-
science; Germany, thought; and America, action
all centreing in unity Of blood.
Turning from the oracles OF Nature to those
Of Revelation, Dr. II. noticed the unity Of the
Bible. as distinct as that of any piece Of me-
chanism, and yet the muulform variety Of
volumes, authors, language, styles, and dates.
Yet every syllable has its organic re-
lation to Christ. He makes It one. Al
the periods are one in Him. The two Testameuts
are hemispheres Of one perfect globe in Him.
The stone tables Of the law lean against His
cross The city Of the Great King is built for
Dayid's greater son. Leyiticus is evangelical as
well as Galatians. The Prophets discover the
desire Of all nations, and the Apostles preach
Him to the World Thus does the self same
spirit work in the two great Kingdoms Of Crea-
ton and Revelation.
The speaker went On to exhibit the organic
unity Of the church, an to derive from it and
urge the duty Of grolr,i, Of Church Coloniza-
ton and extension, and Of individual effort, re-
lying on the manifold grace Of God, given to
all alike, rich and poor, young and old, bond
and free.
The various divisions Of this fine discourse
were illustrated with prOfusion Of scientific
and historical facts, to which our limits permit
no more detailed allusion. It was an able,
scholarly, and interesting discourse
The music was Of the same character and by
the same quartette as in the afternoon.

The House was crowded, as usual. All must
have been glad to see Pres. TOrrey's health so
far restored as to permit him to be present in
the pulpit
The music on the occasion was especially no.
ticeable. 1t was furnished by Quartette, con-
sisting Of Mr. A R. Sabin of Middlebury, Tenor;
Miss Gaskell of Rutland, Soprano; Mrs A R.
Sabin, Contralto; A. F. Collins, Bass; Prof S.
C. Moore presiding at the organ. The sing
ing was skillful and striking. Yet some, perhaps,
would have preferred the old-fashioned and IN
nistakably sacred music Of full choir; and all,
we should say, would have been willing to have
the services close with the original Hymn, which
the class had taken the trouble to have printed
and distributed in the pews SO that the whole
audience might unite IN singing it to Old Hun

substituted for it.

HORATIO SEYMOUR
\ Governor Regarding hIs Oath
and Fulfilling his Duty.

1t is rarely, in these days ofoficial
dereIlctlon, corruption and neglect,
that we have occasion to commend a
State Executive Tor standing by bis
oath, when it conficted with POPULAR
lreG2Y or The behests of the Federal
Administration. Most Governors
are indifferent to otheir oaths, the dig
nifty OF their positions and the rights
OF the people Of their States, and
most OF them think they owe allegi.
ance to no other power than that at
Washinton. Brough Yates and Nor
ton are SO anxious to propitiate the
Lincoln administration that thew
huihble themselves in the dust and
Offer hundred thousand oftheir con.
stituonts to purchase tue favor of
/ their master.
! Governor Seymour, Of New York,
in directing Indictments to be procur
ed against all who engaged in the
Ihwless seizure Of the Offices of Tie
| World and JomnaI of Commerce,
has given an assurance to the country
that there is one Governor in tho
North who has the courage to main
tain his official oath, and protect his
people from The exercise of lawless
and rntfanly arbitrary power. In
view OF his oath, under tie Constitu.
tiOn Of his State and of the United
States, he could do no less. The SUP
preston OF those journals, by the au-
tboriticS at Washlngton; was an act
Of usurpation, tyranny, imoudence,
and injustice, unequaled in atrocity
by any perpetrated by this lawless
Administration. To the extent of
the losses sustained by the victims of
the outrage, it was robbery; and q
| Governor with any sense of du,y or of
honor could no more refuse The vic
TINS that redress which he was able
to give, than ho could refuse to notice
a highway robbery, burglary, or any
other outrage committed upon a citi-
zen of the State he governs. 1t IA
time the men at Washington, bIoated
with u5urpod authority, ana frantic
with the in8olenco of office, were
baught that there is q limit to human
endurance, and that they clrn t tam
per with the most sacred rights of
men, communities and States, with
impunity II there is any force in
laws, any virtue Or dignity in the pee
pie, they would sustain Governor
Seymour in his effort to punish those
WHO wantonly insult the one and oy-
erthrow the other.
In this matter there need be no re.
ference to the excuse for suppression
OF those journals. The forged pro.
ciamat!on was prepared BY a psrticu.
lar friend OF the President; it was sur
roptI;lousIy inserted in the papers
suppressed; and il is not improbable
} that it was prepared by the friends
OF the administration for the express
purpose Of procuring the suppression
OF Democratic journals. But that is
, lmmaterial to the question. The fact
tnat there wasno criminal intent or
knowledge on the part of the publish.
er3 arrested, was known at Washing.
ton before the order for their arrest
; and the suppression Of their journals
j was Issued; and in that fact lies the
proof that the suppression of those
journals Was reckless, wantor, and
inexcnsabe crime. Statesman,

A LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

killed in the fight at tho Yellow
Tavern, WAS found a bit Of paper
twisted in the button hole Of his iac-
ket' 1t was evidently written after

What followed in this par.

next sentence reads, "Write to Con-

owes me fifty dollars which he will
