Fighting "Friends.,,

The Friends MtclligeRcer, published
in Philadelphia, discusses the proper
course Of action towards those mem
bers Of the Quaker societies who have
borne arms during the late war. 1t
says no general or uniform rule has
been followed in these cases. Some
of the guilty persons have "offered
acknow wlcdgments," which have salts
fed their monthly meetings. Others
are unable, as yet, to see their fault,
The Intcliigencer would have great len
ity shown TO those who "were induc-
ed TO buckle on the sword" especially
as they were encouraged "by the ex-
preston Of sympathy and interest in
the cause at issue by those who were
older, and were looked upon as con-
sistent members of our religious soci.
ety." But il thinks that, for the fu-
ture, Friends should give an increased
prominence to the "peace principle"
in religious teachings, that especial
care should be taken to impress it up.
on children as early in life as posi-
bic, and that this instruction should
not be neutralized, "by placing in the
hands Of the little ones the toy-drum,
pistol and gun, with the tin battalion,
which, though inertiye in themselves,
are significant of hostility and re-
taliatory temper. Those fighting
Quakers should organize a "Peace So
ciety," upon "war footing" or they
viii become as ridiculous as their al
lies, who few years ago labored to
exclude one-third of the white race
from the ballot-box, because of their
want Of intelligence, but now, ask to
have all the negroes enfranehised be-
cause they are ignorant and uneducat-
cd, for the purpose of making them
smart. Consistency is a jewel, but a
great many conscientious people"don't
see it,

The Political Cgergy.

ne clergy ol the North are trying
to have our National Constitution so
amended in its preamble as to contain
an express recognition of God and
Christianity. Is it necessary Does
the world need any such thing TO in
form it that we are religious people Z
Our whole history, from the begin
ming until now, is full of testimony
20 prove that fact. The cryer of eve.
ry court ends his "oyez, oyez," with
"God save the Commonwealth" and
our land is dotted all over with houses
of worship and theological semina-
ries. What necessity, therefore, is
there, for asserting in a Constitution.
al preamble, what all mankind already
know, and are not likely ever to ques-
tion! We mildly suggest to the rev.
erend gentlemen who are engaged in
this movement, whether practice is
not better than profession, and wheth-
er, therefore, we should not first show
ourselves to be religious people in
the administration Of our government,
before we announce ourselves to be so
by legislative proclamation Will il
not be time enough to alter the Con
stltution as now proposed, when the
ministers Of the Prince of Peace, in
this section of the country, cease the
preaching Of war, and persecution, and
vengencc, against several millions of
their fellow-countrymen in the South,
and our delegates in Congress begin
TO exhibit but q faint bit Of Christian
charity towards the same oommuni-
ties No class Of men IN this portion
Of the Union did more, during the
late civil war, to inspire it with vim.
dictivo cruelty and malice. or have,
siEce its close, manifested more zeal
in stimulating the people and their
Representatives in Congress TO keep
alive the bitter animosity Of that de-
plorablc contest, than the clergy.
Parson Brownlow, who said, less than
a year ago, that he @wonld rather 90
to hell with loyal negro, than to
Heaven with white rebel, is, we
regret 10 say it, a fair exemplar of
the "loyal' clergymcn in this quarter
OF the United States. We do not
dispute Brownlow's taste, but we do
think his profanity quite unclerical.
When the clergy stop such blasphemy,
and Congress, as the exponent of the
national sentiment, show some touch
of true Christian mercy and magnan-
unity in their action towards the
Southern people, it will be time
enough to discuss the question of in
serting in the national Constitution
the declaration that we are a religious
people. Until then, the matter had
better be postponed.

Norcr-fhc Judiciary Committee
Of the Pennsylvania Senate viii give
an exhibition at Harrisburg, on Mon.
day, the 18th day Of May next. Doors
open at 2 o'clock, P. NJ. All persons
knowing of extortions by railroad
officials or agents, in reference to
frcights and charges, are invited to
attend and make known their griev-
anccs.
We fear the expenses Of the com
mittee will amount to a heavier bur
then than the extortions Of any of
the railroad companies and if they
succeed in granting relief to the peo-
pie, aud developing the truth, they
will do more than similar committees
have done for years. Legislative
committees and corporations seldom
quarrel 1t is not often that the pa
rent deals unnaturally with the child !;
hence those Legislative ofisprings al
ways escape, especially when the
rights Of the people and those of the
corporations come in collision. If
this committee furnishes any relief to
the tax-ridden people and brings it to
our notice, we will give them proper
credit. We confess we have little
faith in men who attempted to appro-
pirate four millions of dollars to them
selves out of the State Treasury,
when they had but three millions to
put in.

declared the registration in Benton,
Coffin, Franklin, Hardman, Humph-

which is that those counties will cast
majorities against him. There was
nothing wrong with the registry, for
the registers are Radicals and could
do nothing wrong, of course This is
the same kind of liberty that a robber
offers to his victim-your money or
your life. Brownlow says: Vote for

Pardons--Uno asked Them ,

One of the greatest crimes laid TO
the charge of President Johnson, says
the Pittsburg Post Of the 18th inst,
was his having pardoned so many
rebels-"rcd-handed rebels" we be-
lieve, is the phrase of the hifalutins
when they speak upon this exciting
theme. The Radical Senators have
abused him for this exercise Of the
pardOning power; Ashley has become
indignant, Butler has grown furious
and the lesser lights of the Radical
party have been so wrought upon,
that no tongue can tell their indigna-
tion.
Some fool in Congress, who didn't
know all this fury was make-believe,
got up resolution Of inquiry, and for
the purpose of impaling the President
upon his own weapon--compelling
him TO commit hdri kdri-called on
