men, too, loathe spiritual pauperism as much
as they do physical poverty, and In the house
Of God, as in the homo Of the dead, the rich

And the Word Of the Lord should be minis
tered as freely, as fully and as impartially to
one as to tie other. We do not charge, Of
course, that it is not so ministered now;
nevertheless, we should not like to take the
responsibility of proving the affirmative in
every case.

exceeds, we doubt not the money value of the

late the moral loss of such destruction?
It would be just as absurd for US to look for

moral community where one church stands over
against thirty.slx grogshops-one grogshop
for every saventy-four persons and one church
for every 2,704 persons-as we find in this
southern tier of wards. Neither the laws of
nature nor the law of morals operate in this
way. Every seed will produce its own legiti-
mate fruit, and as the grogshops SOW the
largest quantity Of seed so they reap the most
abundant harvest, and the city has to gather
up the wrecks of vice and crime and spend its
millions annually to build and maintain prisons
and almshouses b cause tho Christians of New
York have neglected to rear and support
churches for the religious and moral instruc-
tion of the people. Here is where the respon-
sibility rightly belongs, and we believe God
will require this at their hands. As q matter
Of self-preservation they should spend their
money freely now to give the Gospel to the
masses, so that by and by they will not have to
pay increased taxes to support the victims of
intemperance and crime.

Advice to the southern Dem ocrnts.

The prospects of the democratic party for
breaking down the power Of the radicals, de-
pend in great measure upon the conduct of
the Southern democrats. The party in the
North and the democratic representatives in
Congress from all sections, rs we have seen
by the address they have just issued, are on
the right track. Ifthe Southerners will follow
the course Of the Northern democrats and
their own Congressman who signed this ad-
dress, they will deprive the radicals of much
Of the political capital relied upon for election
eering purposes. The burden of Senator
Morton's speech lately delivered in Washing
ton, which was intended as a campaign docu-
ment, as well as of all the speeches and argu-
ments of the radicals is that the democrats,
the Southern democrats particularly, are re-
solved to undo the work Of the war, to re-
pudiate the constitutional amendments, and
to deprive the negroes of the rights secured
to them by law. This Is libel, no doubt,
upon the mass of the democratic party, both
North and South, and the address Of the Con-
gressmen to which we have referred shows
that. But if any men Of extreme
and exploded State rights views
any imprudent and impractcable men
claiming to be democrats-should ex-
press sentiments in conflict with the
accomplished facts of the war and OBJ
noxious to the conservative masses of the
people the radicals will not fail to use that
against the whole party. They know the
people are sensitive on the subject of disturb
ing the issues of the war, and make that the
ground of hostility, even though unjustly,
against the democrats. We advise the South
erners, therefore, particularly the old seces-
sion leaders, who are odious to the loyal peo-
pie Of the country, to abjure their heresies
and impracticable views, or, at least, to re-
main modestly in the background, where they
ought to remain. The only hope for the
South, as well as for the country, to get back
to a constitutional, liberal and economical
government is through the democratic party.
Will the Southerners-will the Blairs and
Vallandghams of the North-comprehend the
situation and become more practicalp That
Is the question. The party has made good
start through the action of it's representatives
in Congress, but it remains to be seen whether
Others who assume to be leaders, will be as
prudent, conservative and sensible.
