PORTLAND WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST le 1865

mad with the negro? For what? Had he
| anything to do with all this trouble? Moth
| ing whatever. All that has been done in this
country will have to Re accounted for some
day. The midnight conclaves for murder will
be known, and the names hung on high. You
| charged that Lincoln would take your lands
| and divide them among the negroes, and YOU
| did not believe a word of it. But every negro
/ believed in his heart from the moment of Lin
| coins election, that he would be free. You
said servile insurrection would be stirred up.
i How have the negroes behaved during the
| whole war. Never was there among people
so situated, and having such hopes, such Or
der, such good behaviour, such God-like pa-
tience. What do you say to it? Ito the ne
groes; "trlle, true" they criedl Make the best
of the condition of things. viii you go to
the black man with you superior intelli-
gence, and talk as one christian to another. or
viii you strive to have your prediction of him
fulfilled? The black man has enough to at
tend to, to let the question of voting alone for
the present. Dream not Of. of.gradual emancipa-
graduating what does not exist Until
your state recognizes this, her congressman
and senators will never be admitted. .But
we must control the labor of the negro"
How control it? swell, he won't work" Well,
the laws suppress vagrancy, and we shall take
up and punish both white man and neg 70
equally for it. They will be treated precisely
alike. 3A If8t
But we want law to make the negroes
fulfil their contracts" Well, pass any law on
the subject you please, so it acts equally on
both white and black men, and treats them
both alike. Rid yourself of the idea of treat
ing the negro differently from the white man
in any particular. The action of any conven-
tion which cOmpels negro to do what white
man is not yet compelled to do will not be re-

What very fools your leaders were to say that
the Uuited States would not struggle for life !
We shall now be stronger than ever.
Some will say you are ruined. Fyou do so
much to build up the country as you have
done to pull it down, you will flourish. Let
all exercise Christian forbearance, and we shall

United States leading in the grand march on
the nationalities towards the perfectibility

WHAT A TYPE-sETTING MACHINE
GAN DO. -
Invention and work Of the Alden Machine.

Invention and Work of the Alden M achine.
Colonel Halpine, in the Citizen last week,
gives an interesting description of the Alden
type-setting machine, from which we extract
the following particulars: e
"Each of these machines will to-day enable
any intelligent man or woman, with little
practice, to do neatly, pleasantly and unerring-
ly the same amount of labor now performed
always painfully, always erringly, and often at
sacrifice of health-by any six of our swift
est practical printers. The whole machine for
setting up type is indeed analogous to circu-
lar piano, the keyboard occupying but small
space on one side of the machine and each
key being marked with its peculiar letter, or
combination of letters, such as ing ed .th e.
that 'is,' 'ough,' and so forth. So absolutely
simple is its operation, indeed-caused by the
elaborate perfection of its mechanism-that
even on the first day of seeing 1t, any child
knowing how to spell could with very little in
struction, commence setting up type more
rapidly and accurately than could practical
printer of the present day merely working
with his fingers. ~
"These machines, too-elaborate as they
are, and having cost the life of their first in
ventor, Timothy Alden, and more than two
hundred thousand dollars since expended in
bringing Inem 10 JneT present. per1ectlOn-are
SO cheap and durable that we prophesy, ere
many years, they will find place in every
commercial or other business house having an
extensive correspondence; and even in the
private houses OF gentlemen who may be
amateur wooers ofthe Muses. or the Bellies Lei
tres, or who, from any cause, shall desire to
have ready means within their reach for null
tiplying copies of any letter, pasquinades, inyi-
tation, business document, circular or other is
sue of written thought. In a word, this ma
chine-its total cost only $4,000, its material
parts lasting for fifty years, and its most deli
cate portions, even with the hardest work of

who have never visited their gal

beauty and excellence of the pic
lures they take. Their business,
and the reputation they have of
producing some of the best por-
traits which have ever been taken
by the Photographic art, have
made their establishment dcserv-

Church OpAretics.

While in Nashville several
months ago, we noticed an unusu-
al occurrence to rural eyes, and
"made O note ont" A celebrated
vocalist of the English Opera
Troupe was advertised to sing OF
one of the fashionable churches on
Sabbath morning, during service
and regular vocal md instruments
|al performances took place ut the
tiae and church appointed. Per
haps when we get used to it, this
kind of amusement will seem well
enough. 1t is certainly fighting
Satan (if we may believe the pull.
pity on his own ground; and that
may be considered, as piece Of
strategy, rather advantageous.
But, after all, the question arises
whether the pure spirit of religion
is not defiled by these theatrical
alliane s?-whether the church
can adopt any portion of sins fas-
cinating investure without making
of her own motley garb calcutta
ted to inspire in the uninitiated
anything but that feeling of reve-
renee which begets respect? Mu-
sic is always pleasant to listen to,
whether in church or out. Vocal
ism, when excellent, is just as
gratifying from the choir as from
the footlights. But we insensibly
draw a line of distinction between
the kind of music fitted to one
place and the kind fitted to an
other. In similar manner we
ought to draw one between the
kind of display fitted to the two
conditions. All this show and os-
tentation may be very agreeable
to the proud and affected, but they
seem sadly out of place in the
Christian tabernacle. They would
have been swept out of the temple,
we are persuaded, just as soon as
the money-changers; and while
they effect no good, they minister
TO that spirit of Indifference which
is the first and most unconauera-
BILE phase of scepticisln.

Legislative.

In the Senate, Mr.. Carrsgan,
from this district, presented a
communication from Mr.. Alfred
Bsarden, Agent of the Freedmen's
Bureau for this county, on the i'm.
portance of finding guardians and
homes for colored children who
are now disposed to stroll about
the country from place to place.
That it was necessary, and more
especially with the girls, who were
of more trouble than the opposite
sex, aud who will soon be SO far
corrupted that they cannot get
homes. That o law be provided
giving the County Court the pow
er to bind them out until the age
of twenty-one, and to provide wise
police regulations for the govern
ment and training of freedmen
while in their minority. Referred
