dorse, nor can We forget the violation of
the solemn pledges, by which they were en-
acted, and We expect that some time an
enlightened popular sentiment will pass
judgment upon these deeds.
10 conclusion, We must express our sur
prise that there should he any differences
among Democrats as to the scope and
meaning to DC attached to the Ohio resolu-
tons. There is but one course to pursue,
aud that is simple and direct. 1t is in
consonancc with the time honored instincts
Of the party aud with common sense. 1t
wrcsts from our opponents their most pc.
tent weapon Of offcnsc. Their appeals
have been to the passions Of the people
AS long as they can make the controlling
masses believe that the Democratic party
may resort to revolutionary means in any
event, just that long we will be subject to
defeat. Let us not refuse the means, how.
ever unnecessary or surperAuous it may
appear, to convince the many who act with
our opponents from convictions of duty,
that our professions are sincere, and the
tide will turn full and strong, aud lead to
permanent success.

TIE FAIR.-The Committee has sue
cceded in arousing something like the de-
gree of public interest to make the proposed
Fair success. Posters and circulars have
been sent to the various points on the
Sound and in the adjacent counties, and
so far as we can learn, the movement is
regarded with favor. Our farmers vii
find this favorable opportunity to con
vince the doubtcrs that the soil and climate
here will produce better vegetables and
grain, and a larger yield per acre, than the
much Wanted prairies of Illinois and
Iowa.

he lost money by the operation.

The Pulpit.

There never was a period when SO OK.
tcnsive an organization prevailed for preach.
ing as at the present time, nor when i,
was attended with less apparent benefit.
And why, it may be asked, is this? The
answer is, because congregations satisfy
themselves with the hearing aud not the
doing, and the present character of pulpit
mini>trations arc well calculated to encou-.
age this deception. Sermons, in these DAYS
of general enlightenment, are directed to
the head, and not the heart; it is the in.
tellcct that has to be nourished, and not
the kindlier emotions of our nature. How
seldom, as an illustration of practical Chris.
tianity, are discourses delivered from those
verses beginning with, Il was sick and We
visited me, hungry and ye fed me-" &c.,
and yet these injunctious are just as bind.
ing at this time, as when they fell from the
lips of the Saviour. Salvation by faith is
now the order Of the day, is much more
economical and entails less obligations than
the duties enjoined in the verse above
quoted. All that love of our brethren
which leads to wholesome sympathy for
suffering humanity, forms little part of
modern pulpit teaching. There is no doubt
but that in large degree the present un.
happiness and unsatisficd cravings arise
from the better feelings of our nature being
allowed to lie dormant. In every walk of
life, men are so intent on their own inter-
ests, that the old fashioned relations of
kindly consideration heretofore existing
between man and man, capital and labor,
employers and employed, are ignored.
Christianity affected by the peculiar char.
acter of present pulpit orations, has become
too much head and tongue matter and has
lost much of its vitality, because wanting
in the vivifying influence of Christian love.
To be effective in its influence, men must
feel that Christianity is the good thing rep.
resented, that out Of its goodness it does
good to them. This does not necessarily
mean that pulpit exhortations should in
ducc us to empty our pockets to every ap.
peal, but it does mean that there should be
exemplified in us more of that love of our
neighbor as ourselves, aud that we should
be ever ready with kindness in word aud
deed.
In some of our large cities there has
been such forgetfulness of the sacred du.
ties of the preacher that sensational SER
mons have been regularly preached, and
attractive texts anuounced-such as, "Our
First Parents in the Garden of Edeu'-and
congregations have been summoned to be
amused. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher of
New York, and DR.. Scudder of San Fran
cisco, have occasionally excited hearty
laughter, and sometimes expressions of APP
plause, from their hearers. Until preach
ing more scnsibly arouses the heart tokiud.
ly action and demonstrates that C Christianity
means something to be done as we'll as
thought of, preachers may abound and
pulpits may be multiplied, without any in
crease Of good results.
