The newspapers keep US posted in
matters Of trade The people Of this
country are trading people; and socie-
gis afflicted with what may be called
the Jerer Of trade. Excess of trade is not
sign of social health; il not only in
terfefes with the sphere Of spiritual
religion, and the healthful exercise of
ideas Of God that will elevate the soul;
but it also interferes with the exercise
of genuine philanthropy. Society takes
a wrong direction, and expends ener-
gies that were designed for better pur-
poses. a Tai 'dl.tog2f of." a~I
A general haste to be rich is one of
the curses of society. In such a case
society is actuated by a wrong idea; and
men are not always happiest when they
overtake their ideals of the best oondi-
ton of man. In their haste, men often
adopt ideas of the chitf good, and fol-
low them without much consideration
whether they are good or bad. In their
haste to be rich, many men have not
time to consider the good, the true, the
beautiful. They do not pause in The
race--for charity, for social pleasure, for
mental or moral development. The
rich are not always the worst of men;
but very great number of the worst of
men are rich. 1t is easier, in many in
stances to be rich than to be Just. 1t
is well sometimes to ask--not how much
is a man worth, but-hooo did that man
get what lie hast has lie invaded the
God-given rights Of society and hu-
manity? 'a-a
The trouble in this country is that
men in the delirium Of the high fever of
trade, trade in almost everything
nothing seems too sacred to be barter

ket. The prerogatives Of high offices
are held for a premium--think of par

Recently men were exported for sale in

society learn to say, "There are some
things that must not be traded =" q
The excess Of trade is In supplying
the artificial wants Of society added to-
the vicious wants of men. In fact, the
business Of some men is to create mar

brows, and God forbid we should make
our living by. selling whisky. Let the
people Judge which is the most honor
ablethe laborer, or the whisky vender.
Think of it, citizens Of Jackson, that
one OF the many that is the means of
hurting to Eternity, four every hour, of
our fellow beings within the limits of
the United States. How he has usurped
the liberty, attacked our characters in an
unjust manner in order to weaken our
influence, destroy our reputation, and
sink us into contempt in public estima-
ton. Such practice flows from ain un!
just an unhallowed spirit of jealousy,
from ambition, pride, and self-will; and
such soul, We say, is entirely destitute
otprinciple. The people will Judge and
condemn such as being nothing but
shameless intruders and most .darihg
imposters.
Again he proves himself an imposter.
The concert was got up for the benefit
OF the band, or at least that was the
understanding; butthe small sum of $40
in greenbacks was too tempting for his
voracisus appetite to resist; SO he pock-
eted the benefit, and contented himself
with the result of his genteel way of
begging. And the ladies God bless
'em'; we think it was time for some
one to bless them besides him, for he
did not see fit to even thank them for
their services. Being more lengthy in
our remarks than we intended to be this
time, we conclude by signing our proper
names, and dare the Jacksonian to prove
what he asserted. aan %.
