A correspondent writing from Sarato-
ga relates the following:
Among our visitors is a young
clergyman, he is smart and has his eyes
open. He is a churchman and will
make his mark. An incident will il
lustrate this. His college chum is set
tied in the Baptist ministry. Our
church friend made a call on his chum.
1t was Saturday and he proposed to
spend Sunday with his old associate.
He was made welcome, but with the
least bit of embarrassment that he did
not fail to observe. At length the Bap-
fist brother spoke. 81 should be de-
lighted to have you preach for me to-
morrow. But, the fact is, our CON-
munion. We have it directly after our
morning service. 1t would be very
awkward, you know, for you. to preach
for me, and then 60 out of the house
with the unregenerate, for by the rules
OF our church you, not being baptized,
cannot commune with u.s. The church
man laughed, and said: oh don't be
uneasy. l will preach for you. but
were forty times baptized, l could not
sit down to your table, tor by the rules
of our church, you, you know, are not
ordained, and cannot administer the
ordinances at all And 60 he preached,
and at the close went out to his dinner,
while the saints sat at their table"

The discourses of the pulpit and tie

certain remarks of the late Thomas F.
Marshall, at Columbus, Ohio, in 1856
on thesubject. acknowledgment was
then prevalent, and many members OF
our Legislature had been elected by the
Order. A number OF these gentlemen
crowded around Marshall one evening
at the Neil House, importunate to learn
his views on the subject. He straight
ened himself up and gave evidence in
his manner OF a certain degree OF
contempt for his interrogators and
replied:
Gentlemen when, some time ago,

THE RADICAL MOTIVE.

The same fear and dlStruSt OF the peo-
pie, the same antipathy to popular gov
ernment and denial Of popular rights
which caused acknowledgements in this
State and are converting the United
States into a centralized despotism in
the hands OF the Radical party, are in
iluehcing that party now and here to
oppose Constitutional Convention. In
tact it is difficult to find any other mo.
tive for the fierce opposition to the call
than is supplied by Radical hatred OF
the popular voice. A Constitutional
Convention is the act of the people in
their sovereign capacity; in State
it is only subject to the Constitution o.
the United States and may ordain any
form.of government that is not in vio-
lation Of the terms Of that instrument
1t is the highest legislative body that
can convene in the State and the con-
sent OF the people must first be had
before its legislation can take effect.
Holding to the right OF the people to
govern themselves, believing fully in the
justice Of permitting the people to reg
ulate their State concerns as may seem
to them most eXpedlent, what reasona-
lie opposition can be made to Consti
tutional Convention?
There are no axes to grind by this
movement, no private ends to serve.
The whole form and manner Of our
State Government is to be referred back
to those who made it, for improvement.
All that is good in the present Constitu-
ton, all that merits and meets the pop
ular approval, will be retained, and
only the defects thrown away. But to
this measure Of reform the Radicals
oppose the argument of the personal
concerns of a few officers who cannot
he reelected because the people don't
want them, and 60 about like JOHN
Hook in the victorious army of the
Revolution, bawling Beef! Beef"
as though the whole thought Of
the people and the sole object and aim
Of the State Government was to fur
nish bread and butter for a few super
numerary office-holders. Let them
learn that the private interests of no
one man or set OF men can stand in the
way of the public good or abridge in the
slightest respect the right and duty of
tie people TO make such Constitution
as suits their own free will.

A correspondent of the Chicago TIL

Indian fighter. He says:

of men were at work on the bridge
which was being strengthened prepare
tory to the passing OF the first train
over the road at this point. Without
any warning the false tressel gave way,
breaking in the middle, and from both
ends of the bridge the men were pre-
cipitated into the creek, some above
and some below the fallen timbers.
The following is the list Of the killed
and wounded:

Steam on the Canals-Trial Of the
Propeller Cathcart.

The propeller Cathcart made trial
trip down the bay yesterday afternoon
to illustrate the effect of new steering
and propeling apparatus, the invention
of Capt J. S. Cathcart, Of Washington,
which, it is claimed, is especially adapt
able to boats used in canal navigation.
In this invention the propeller is con.
nected with the rudder, and is made to
assist in the steering Of the boat Con-
sequently, a very slight detection of
the rudder is required to alter the course
OF the vessel, aud little or no wash is
created to injure the banks Of the canal.
The Cathcart yesterday, with one hun
dred and sixty tone of cargo on board,
steamed, 1t is reported, six knots an
hour without making any perceptible
swell in her wake, and answered the
helm admirably. After her trial.trip
the Cathcart left for Buffalo, by way OF
the Erie Canal.-N. Y. Post, 22d.
