RH~ Let us feel deeply how much OF
what we are, and what we possess, we
owe TO this liberty, and these institutions
of government Nature has, lndeea'
given us soil which yields bounteousiy
TO the hands ofindustry; the mighty ana
fruitful ocean is before us. and the skies
over our heads shed health and vigor.
But what are lands, and seas, and skies,
IN civilized men, without society, with
ont knowledge, without morals, without
religious culture +? And how can these

their excellence, but under the protec'
ton of wise institutions and a free
govsrnment.-W Webster
Ofall institutions under heaven that
which rules the subject States-Ten'
nessee included-is the most unwise.
It is government of brute force,
wherein, on the plausible pretext OF JUS
tice and the public safety, the ignorant
and the vicious are appointed to rule
the men Of private virtue, of enlarged
intelligence, and public probity' The
government of the bsyonet is not free
government. The ballot box, beside
which the bayonet must CLEAN for its
protection, is no instrument of liberty.
There can never be free government
where the intelligent citizen cannot be
trusted. And that despotism, which
rules BY enfranehising and empowering
the mob, in the name Of liberty, is the
worst of all And worse than all, it is
infamous. We do not desire to reform
such a government We would not in
the least attempt to improve by amend
ing it. But we have an inaliensble
right, given us by God, and recognised
in every free constitution, to "alter or
abolish it. The exercise Of this right
cannot be legally interfered with. Why,
then, is it that when its exercise, by
meeting in convention, has been more
than once proposed in respectable guar
ters, the motion meets faint response
Is Liberty so clean gone forever that its
very spirit has gone with it2 Or are We
only waiting a little, from excess Of
prudence, to exercise an undeniable
right more wisely 2

received dispatches from the steamer
Lincoln, sent to the waters Of the new
Territory of Alaska. Leaving San Fran.
cisco, on July 20, she proceeded by way
of Ontario, and Fort Rupert, Vancou.

attempts were made to take observations,
to fix accurately the boundary between
British Columbia and our new territory,
which were however, unsuccessful, on ac-
count of rain and fog, though six days
we're consumed in the trial. Thence
the vessel proceeded to Sitka, by way of
Chatham's Sound and Dixon's Passage,
arriving on the morning of August II,
still surrounded by fog which quite hid

reach the town, where her officers met
with cordial welcome from the Russian
officials. The latter exhibited every
disposition to forward the objects of the
cruise, and immediate preparations were
made to proceed with it, going first to
Onalaska Island. At the date of the
report, it was expected to set sail on the
goth of August Little had been learned
in the short time that had elapsed, since
their arrival in those waters, but the
officers express themselves satisfied,
that the resources of the country in tim

FIRST GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH
MATTERs.-There has been a difficulty
ofIong stnnding-about nine months,
we Understandable the First German
Lutheran Church, Center Wheeling.
The difficulty originated in regard to
the acceptance or non. acceptance OF the
resignation Of the Rev. Mr.. Berkemier.
pastor of the church, who had received
!, call to another field of duty in New
York. Part ofthe congregation wished
To retain Mr.. b. and part wished to
I've relieved Of his illustrations. In a
congregational meeting for the purpose,
Il vote WAS taken as 10 whether the res
iGnRtion should be accepted, and the
majority OF votes was cast against
accepting. Although the election had
gone against them, the minority
were not willing to let the matter rest
and raised the point that the election
was Illegal, as the constitution OF the
Church declares that those members
who are in arrears Tor six months pew
rent shall not be entitled to n vote at
any congregational meeting, and many
of those voting to retain Mr.. Berkemier
came under this provision.
We have not space, to-day, to give a
particular relation of the meetings that
followed; but IL was finally settled that
Berkemier should leave the cougreEa-
ton, aud to that end he was, a short
time since. presented with a complete
outfit of clothing and a sum of ready
money, by certain members of the con-
gregaiion. The vestry, however, re-
quested him to remain few weeks
longer until his place could be sup
piled. The meeting, Friday night, re-
solved among other things that he
should preach no longer.
As the matter stands now there IS
good prospect OF the difficulty being
settled and both parties returning to
an amlcable state of feeling.
