The following is an extract from a SER
mon on Thanksgiving Day, by the Rev.
Mr.. Leaken, Trinity Church (Episcopal),
Baltimore:
The Reverend gentleman recognizes the
good influence of our first estate" and
speaks OF it in a catholic spirit:
| shall reserve the remainder Of my re-
marks for a subject which is rarely alluded
to in the pulpit, but which is exercising a
mostimportant influence upon every State,
city, village, county and family Of our
Union. I refer to the Press-the news
paper-which, from the smallest begin
ming, a luxury to the favored few, has be-
come indispensable to millions, and whose
power in forming public sentiment is Nm
measurable.
To illustrate remotely the influence Of
this power, suppose a person Of intelli-
gence coming to your family every morn
ing. He informs you Of all that has &C.
CURED in your city, in your country, in
Europe, or distant Asia. He gathers the
details Of each interesting event; he at
tends each important meeting, and tells
you what was said and done. In rain
and tempest, in summer and winter. does
this person pay you his daily visit and
not only brings you information, but
gives you his opinion on each question
that arises. In time he becomes one OF
you; he is identified with your family;
and the character Of yourself and those
around have been moulded BY this con-
slant contact.
Blu, the newspaper does more. It
brings you an hundred different articles,
besides advertisements. 1t can be read at
leisure. It's information reaches children,
and is read by servants. II forms the suo-
ice, of conversation, and plies Its ceaseiess
visits to your home. instructive, entertain
ing and interesting TO all. Have l over
estimated the force Of this mighty enGIne'
The French Encyclopedias helped to pro.
duce the French revolution by means OF

the negotiations SO long pending have
been closed, and the controlling interest
in the Placerville Railroad has passed into
the hands of parties who have money and
who intend to push it forward to compile

this end, work has been resumed upon the

enough to have the terminus at Placerviil'

The crisis Of the country is so inn
miucnt, the danger Of civil war so
threatening, that il is impossible TO
keep good men in the party traces, il
they become satisfied that the party
with which they have been acting IS
in the wrong. A notable instance OF
this has recently occurred in Illinois
Everybody will remember what an
immense hurra was raised in the Rad
ical State Convention of Illinois over
the nomination of General John A.
Logan for Congress at large. He was
proposed to the Convention for nomi-
nation by Hon. 7. i. Breckenridge,
and was confirmed by acclamation.
Logan's speeches made since his nom
ination are, in character, like Ben
Wade's, violent, and breathing war
and determination. These speeches
Mr.. Breckenridge read with care, and
they satisfied him of the danger that
this country would be in by the elec-
tion Of such a man as Logan to Con
grcss. He therefore comes out and
repudiates the man he had proposed
for nomination, and declares his inten-
ton to be to support Logan's oppo-
nent, Colonel Dickey. On the 2Gth
ult.. at the Democratic and National
Union Convention ef the Sixth Hi
nois District, Mr., Breckenridge being
called upon, came oEt in a speech, il
which he declared that at the time hC
moved the nomination Of Logan il
the Radica! State Convention, he sup
posed Logan was opposed to negro
suffrage and in favor of a restoration
Of TIE Union. He had now, however
learned from Logan's recenC speeches
that he not only favored negro SUI
frage, but was opposed to restoring
the States of the Union except upoI
policy of eternal hate. Mr.. Brock
enridge said he could not consistently
with his ideas of duty and patriotism
support man who held such doc
trines.
There are thousands of patriotic
citizens who will do just rs Mr.. BreclI
enridge has done--abandon the Radi
cal party whose success promises hate
blood, and war Cincinnati Enquirer

A. onc of ,hn rcrrcsentatiycs Of the "toyhlists'
of ocotria We fnd tho name OF NJ s. Morse. A
distnrnishcd officer Of the Federal army yesterday
gave us the anicredchis Of this gentleman on the
"march to the tomb Of Lincoln In 1901, he was
editor Of the Bridgeport (Conn.) former, paper
rankly "disloyal' and very obnoxious 70 those who
in that year regarded the President as "iho gov
ernmeni." Thi. man assnilcd President Lincoln so
bitterly, that mob destroyed the Office. He went
South, and icndcrcd his services to Jca. Davis,
who said that he wanted nothing to do with a
"rcncrado Northerner." Morse finally brought up
in Georgia aud became editor Of a labid secession
sheet. When our government determined upon
arming the negroes, he declared that the South
should raise the black Gag, and shoot down every
negro. found in the Union blue When the Federal
army captured Augusta, he was fearful that his
Office would be destroyed by our soldiers, and he
for time, reiraincd from expressing his disloya
sentiments. By degrees he became boider, until
finally an officer Of the army, now q resident Of
OF Cleveland, officially notified him that no would
take his Office for q government Job office, and
suppress his paper, if he continued his violent
secession articles and after that date Morse
submitted his editorials to the officer referred To-,
before he published them llc at length, ''played
out financially, and to raise the wind, no doubt
rapidly became "loyal,' and now, like Old John
Browns soul, he goes marching en- with Brownlow,

A large portion of the delegates to
the late Radical Convention at Phila-
delphia, were made of just such stuff
as this man Morse-Hamiiton and
their heterogeneous crew. A more
diabolical set of men never assembled
on this continent, since Gen. Wash
ington dispersed the British hordes,
than those headed by Brownlow, and
his black and white allies. Their re
cent demonstration at Philadelphia,
was as eflectually aimed at the destruc-
ton of this Government as were
those made by the Tories and Cow
Boys under CORVALLIS, during the
early days of the Republic.

The old Proclamation dealer in his
day occasionally said something that
was practical and statesman like.
We commend the following language
from his Inaugural Address TO the at
tention of the Radicals, who have re
constructed the "map of Union Re-
publicanism" and denounce President
Johnson for carrying into effect Mr.
Lincoln's policy Of restoration:
ave cannot separate. We cannot
remove our respective sections from
each other, nor build an impossible
wall between them. A husband and
wife may be divorced and go out OF
the presence beyond the reach OF each
other; but the different part OF our
country cannot do this They cannot
but remain face to face; and inter-
course, either amcable or hostile, must
continue between them Sup
pose you 80 to war, you cannot fight
always; and when after much loss on
both sides, and no gain On either you
cease fighting, the identical old ques-
tions, rs to terms of intercourse, are
again upon you
I'VE fully endorsed the sentiment oi
these words when they were uttered
and as fully endorsed themnow Mr.
Licoln continued :
Many patriotic and worthy citizens
arc desrous of having the national
constitution amended. TC
me the Contention mode seems prefer
able, in that it allows amendments to
originate with the people themselves
instead or only permitting them tc
take or reject propositions originated
by others, not especially chosen foi
1 the purpose, Gas in the case Of Con
gress, and which might not be pre-
cisely such as they would wish tc
either accept or refuse"

Thn niri,,e EEnrEan.

We have heretofore referred to the
scoundrel procivities Of Rev. James
Harlan, U. S. Senator from Iowa, and
late Secretary of the Interior. This
man Harlan, ten years ago, was a
Methodist preacher, at Mt. Pleasant,
Iowa, and lived on salary of $500,
and the charity of his ncighbors. He
was soon after picked up by the Abo
Ttionists for Senator. 1t is said that
he now owns $4,000 real estate, and
500 900 500 bonds, and that his wife
Gourishes IS, 600 worth Of jewelry, etc.
The following telegram from Wash
ington, on the Sth inst, will probably
show how this divinely minded fellow
creature gets hold of money, land, etc.
He appears to be after the Indian.
But instead of being their agent and
defender, he has become their scducer,
and while acting rs Cabinet Minis
ter he has been the agent Of Yankee
emigration society. Read the tele-
gram;
at is already known that several
DAYS before Mr.. Harlan retired from
The office of Secretary of the Interior
he executed contract on the part Of
the Government of the United States,
through himself as its representative,
passing the title of the reserve lands
of the Cherokee Indians, in the State
Of Kansas, to the Connecticut emigra-
ton society for eight hundred thou
sand dollars, or one dollar an acre,
payable in regular installments, with
the privilege Of taking the whole, the
society to receive the deed upon the
payment of stipulated funds, This
subject was subsequently referred to
Attorney General Stanberry, who
yesterday rendered his opinion that
the contract is not sustained by treaty
with the Cherokees, and therefore
ought to be ignored. This will doubt
less be done"

a "LovaE, Threat.

A Republican paper boasts that
"neither the President nor the Cop
perheads have any remedy against
the decision of Congress not TO admit
the southerners to seats" What we
say is, that if they have no remedy
against such usurpation, it is because
they have not the pluck Of brave men
to assert their rights This usurpa-
ton, if acquiesced in, ends the repub-
lie. If Congress can reject those who
are disagreeablc TO the majority, and
expcl whom they please, then it will
become self-credted and self-eristing
body. For this monstrous wrong
there is a remedy. The southern
States have the same rights there that
the northern have Every conserva-
tive member, North and South, has
as good right there as the radicals,
and they should take their seats, and
eight it out on that line" 1t will be
the Presidents duty to see that the
laws are enforced. 1t will not take
long to legally squelch the Stevens
and Sumncrinsurgcnts if they attempt
to forcibly eject members from their
seats. In our opinion this is the duty
of the conservatives. The southern
and northern conservatives are 4 ma
liority of even the present Congress, il
legally organized. We say let them
20 there, and together refuse to be
put down by the radical revolution
lists. The scufile would be brief, and
would end right 1t will be the Pres
ident's duty and his pleasure, we
doubt not, to recognize the legal ma
jority as the Congress. As now or
ganized, il is not a legal body.

LOYAL EcoNoMIsTs.- Every reader
knows very well, that our country
has been miserably governed, and out
rageously taxed for thepast five years ;
and all attributable to the Greeley
reformers.
To illustrate; Butter is selling at
40 cents, divided thus for tho butter,
20 cents; for the support Of the Negro
Bureau, 10 cents; for stamps, taxes,
and the extra bounty to "loyap Con
gressmen and other government rob
bers, 10 cents. Total, 40 cents.
Coffee costs SO cents, yet it can be
bought for l6 cents; but by the time
the gold gamblers, Negro Bureau and
the tariff and stamp duties arc paid
wu are charged SO cents. And every
thing else we eat, use, or wear, is ad
I. .justed in precisely the same manner
and all this is done through the tom.
