The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-11-23

A somewhat remarkable sermon was preach
cd in Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, on Thanks
aiyinr day, by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
We quote from the New York Suns report:
THE EFFECT OF IMMIGRATION.
After brief preliminary chat upon his text,
Mr.. Beecher said that immigration brought us
strength. which intelligence would fully de-
yelon. The Dane, Swede and German certainly
added TO the cerebral power OF the nation;
Trishmen to its activity. As the steam engine
REQUIRED not manual force but steam also, 80
our institutions required greatest force to run
them. But it should be addeo, tnat as the ex-
tent of the country was immense, so there was
greater chance Oh disnteSratlon.
THE NEXT REBELLION.
The recent failure of such an attempt
ought not to rive US notion that the nation Is
undoubtedly secure from future disruption.
Few knew how near the rebellion came to
nroyinp success. 1t was an attempt, how
ever. Which was founded upon bad grounds,
unon that which was Odious TO the moral sense
of the world. But should the Pacific States in
another generation without slavery, vile
curse, interfering) undertake separation on
strong commercial and polltico-economlcai
grounds, the issue would probably DC very DIFF
ferent. Our late success then must not lead
ms to suppose that no other attempts would
be made. If the Southern States tenn
porarily exhausted, should renew the
struggle on the grounds of political policy and
economy, the result could not be foretold.
Such was the extent Of the country that, In the
future, when the respective parts became
populOus and wealthy, separation could not De
stayed If their interests lay In separation. Ma
tional unity was secure only when 1t was 70
the interest Of each section that there should
be such unity. Rhode Island might not be
able to withdraw alone laughter nor New
Jersey Irenewed laughter,] nor Connecticut,
nor even South Carolina, nor any single State:
but the whole South, the whole Southwest,
! the great Northwest, and the vast Pacific slope
moved on different planes.
HOW DISSOLUTION NAY CONE.
In the late struggle the Union was preserved
by military force. Hereafter moral force alone
could accomplish such result While Id
would look upon the disintegration Of the
Union with the most profound feelings OF sor'
row, still, however, he could not regard
movement in that direction with the same ab'
horrence that he had of the late attempt al
disintegration.
cALHoUN's GHOST IN PLYMOUTH PULPIT.
II four great republics were proposed In
place of the present Union, and the move
ment was one of the people, he should GER
tainly feel not as he felt toward the late move
ment. Separation would not be fatal. But
still the Union of the whole States was sc
much better that he considered 1t the duty o
every Christian patriot to maintain and pre-
serve that Union by every moral means which
would secure that end In pcrpetuty. 1t should
| be remembered that there was no band nor striI
of iron long or strong enough TO hold together
unwilling parts. No. political force could do it
neither was there artillery enough to do 1t.
the Union stood, 1t would do SO by common
