EXH1BrT1oN.-The exhibition at the
coloreo Methodist Episcopal Church on
Flith street, Monday evening. was
pretty fairly attended and passed of
satisfactorily. The receipts were not as
large as could have been desired, but if
expenses are made by such exhibitions
these times, it is a matter of congratu-
iatlou. In this instance, however, quite
handsome excess was received, and
the members of that congregation are
obliged to those who patronized their
entertainment.

We gather, we may be allowed "a

This party was new in this decade
and vet ii has . record of deeds of cen.
turtles Of ordinary experience, whose
br'lliancy and significance shall mark q
most memorable epoch in the history Of
the country and in the annals Of great
achievements for the human race.
No party in any age or century wa
more clearly demanded by the public
exigencies. A controversy had arisen
in our history, involving not only the
existence Of the American Union. but
affecting the interests of the human
races. The hopes of the friends Of free
Government were centered in the sue
cess Of our great experiment. The slave
holder rebellion was aimed At its de.
feat.

perance party, and it would be this
year let who would be the nominee.
Besides, Gov. Chamberlain is clearly
q head of public opinion on this ques-
ton, and his warmest advocates are
and were among the stanchest friends
of the cause. Then where lie the
trouble? In this, that certain men
were not satisfied to have Governor
with ability enough to have views on
all the current debatable questions Of
the day. and independence enough to
assert those opinions. The reason for
this change Of base is not 50 clear
But the result Of getting the
different religious bodies Of the state
arraved against candidates for office
on the ground of their peculiar views
on religious doctrin es. or on their in
t<rpretations Of the Sacred Scriptures,
will be sad one. Soon it will be that
no member Of any religious society can
be put in nomination for office, and we
shall have to choose from class of
men who have no clearly defined opin-
ion on neither religion or politics. Or
we shall have 10 take some one who is
n dissembler II will he time to break
up the party and TO begin anew. when
we become 30 bigotted that we cannot
allow freedom of opinion on debatable
questions. or are unwilling TO nomi-
nate distinguished citizen for office
because he will insist on expressing his
honest convictions We would have
supported Governor Chamberlain. this
year. just to vindicate his inalienable
right to hold To his cherished views. if
for no other reason. just As we would
have supported General Hcrsey, or
Sidney Perham. il they had been SINH
honest conviction and these convic-
tons had been just the reverse OF Gov.
Chamberlain 1t is the right OF pri-
waite Judgment that needs to be vindi-
Gated.
Next year somebody will not like
General Hcrsey. because he does not
believe in the death penalty. or be-
cause he believes in the salvation OF
all men, or Of some notion outside of
party politics; and the year after some
one. or some religious body will object
10 the peculiar views Of another candi-
date. and so we shall have all our oh
jections 10 candidates made on qucs-
tons outside Of party politics. Where
is this all 20 end and who is RESPONSE
bic for interpolating the creed Of the
party: Ii seems 10 Us that the class
OF men claiming 10 be- the most libcr-
