The War only Commenced.

FROM the time the second issue Of the dirty little
Commercial appeared until now personal abuse of
the senior editor Of this paper has characterized its
columns We made no reply whatever for months.
and our silence has been construed into timiditv or
covardice. We shall now make this dirty little
Ohio drunkard, debauched swindler, and tool Of
scoundrels, as well as those who use him, and sro
meaner than he is long for peace and quiet before
they enjoy it again. The documents are coming in
bv mail in the shape of letters, that will make par
ties here wish they had never provoked this quar-
rel. We intend that it shall take wider range than
has been anticipated. Nay, it shall be personal and

gard to the professions of the parties in society, OF
the array of friends that may back them up.

THE Presidents Copperhead organ, the Nation

Andrew johnson thus stands before the country
opposed to all constitutional amendments at the
present time.'
There was once member of Congress by the
name of Andrew johnson who proposed eEere"
amendments to the National Constitution during
one session. Many persons are of the opinion that
he is the same who is now President of the United

His friends have been compacted, and have adhered

Memphis Bulletin.
So far as "Brownlow" is concerned he heeds not
the abuse of the rebel papers, his is marked
out and he will pursue it fesrlessly So far as the
Legislature is concerned, they have been united by
abuse of the rebel papers of Nashville and Mem
pills. and the leaders of the disoyal element of the
State, and they have been enabled to pass some ne
cessary laws, which, but for this abuse they could
not have passed. With "Brownlow7 and the Leg
isature, it is only necessary to this opposi-
ton to a measure by making known the fact that
it will be acceptable to the rebel papers of Nashville
and Memphis And the Union people of the State
generally, will find it both wise and safe to act upon
the same principle.

The Fenian FiascO.

The Fenian invasion of Canada has ended in a
miserable failure. For their speedy failure three
men are to blame-O Mohony, Roberts and Ste
phens They were such fools as to make public
their plans for a campaign months before the time
arrived Forewarned, the Canadian authorities
were forearmed, and hence they repealed the inva-
sion
We have no sympathy with the British authori-
ties who have oppressed the patriotic Irish for 10
these many years past and have just cause of COM
plant against the English Government. The Fe-
mans are down upon the President for enforcing
the neutrality laws. He could not do otherwise, and
it was his duty to have acted in the matter sooner
than he did. But We do not propose to take any
part in the quarrel between the Fenans and the
President. The Fenian forces constitute the Irish
ICING Of the Democratic party. They can fight the
President, and he can fight them until dooms day
and we shall not interfere.

THE FOES OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY-The social
ed Democracy being now thoroughly welded to
Romanism it is their dutyt explain to the public
the meaning of the following item of intelligence
we find floating about in the newspapers:
Religious Tyranny IN Austria.- Protestants must
be well satisfied, if they are simply tolerated in
Austria. There is, perhaps, no country under the
sun in which the authorities much delight in
vexatious measures, which have not even the merit
of being of service to the State as in this. Every
person who frequents the Exchange is obliged to
take a ticket, for which he pays trifing sum and
on the first of this month, notice given to the
police authorities that in future every ticket would
in addition to the name and address, have the reLj-
gion of its possessor inscribed it. The regu-
lation has excited extreme Indignation among the
Hebrew frequenters of the Exchange, and its con-
quence will assuredy be felt when their assistance
is again required by the State Permission has been
refused to Prussian Protestant nobleman to pur-
chase domain in the Tyrol This is looked on as
one of the first fruits of Austrian concordant.

as authority for certain religious opinions defines
his position as follows
AMEsBURY, It'll, 5th month, 1866
To the Editor Of the Friend: -
In a late number of thy paper there is a notice
of lecture by Henry Blanchard, of Brooklyn,
which doubtless unintentionally gives a somewhat
erroneous view of my religious opinions. Painful
ly sensible of my own moral infrmties and liabli-
ties to error, instnctively shrink from assuming
the Office of teacher and guide of Others 1 simply
wish to say that my ground of hope for myself and
for humanity is in that divine fuless of love which
was manifest in the life teachings and selfsacrifce
of Chrst-the Way the Truth, and the Life. In
the infinite mercy of God SO revealed, and not in
any work or merit of nature, Ireverently, hum
bly,, yet, very hopefully, trust
l regard Christianity a life rather than creed,
and in judging of my fellow men can use no other
standard than that which our Lord and Master has
given us, "By their fruits ye shall know them. =
The only orthodoxy that am specially interested
in is that of life and practice. On the awful and
sublime theme of human destiny l dare not dogma
tie; but wait the unfolding of the great mystic
ry in the firm faith that whatever may be cur
particular allotment God will do the best that is
possible for all. Thy friend
