A GERMAN SABBATH.
BY REV. W. H. VAN DoREN, D. D.

The celebrated John Foster
somewhere remarks that he held
there existed between man and
God countless millions of races ris-
ing in successive graduation. He
held that man formed the lowest OF
these grades, for he did not believe
thai a rational ace could be created
between man and brute.
The following Gene seems a sad
illustration of the last remark.
Looking out from our Window on a
certain Sabbath afternoon, we saw
a cloth spread upon the grass I'M
der the shade OF q tree. The table
was placed on the cloth, chairs ar
ranged, and the good things of
earth wer soon seer spread on
the table in silver dishes ard cuts
glass gobIets There we're wine,
segars, beer, brandy, and various
kiEds of simple eatables.
The family and guests to the
number of six or eight gathered
round the table. They we're a jol-
ly, fat looking company, reminding
one of the refrain of childhood.
odd King Cole" They ate, they
drank, they smoked IN s%uccessIor,
without the troublesome delay OF
asking a blessing, ven Is short As
Charles Lambs famous "Grace be
fore meat" After eating, drinking
and smoking, they ate, drank and
smoked again and again.
1t was PLAIN that the physical
was gradually getting the mastery,
and the intellectual gradually
yielding to the power of frequent
rotations. By and-bve n head
began to droop on the spacious
Teutonic breast, es the suniower
drocps towards the hour of setting
sun. The long, loud talking began
gradually to lessen, and another
head became fecumbcnt on the
breast. One by one yielded. until
all were asleep; and the scene g
called a herd of well-fed oxen, aft
er filing themselves; re2osirg amid
their rich pastures.
To such a pass, blottIng out the
Sabbath will bring the souls OF
men. Instead o! lifting up the
soul, attiring-it and spiritualizlng
it for the upper temple service, we
g tens of thousands making the
Lords day a season for laying
aside the symbols of humanity and
rationallty, and deliberately pre-
par.ng, week after week, for assim-
Hating to the Erutes.
The insane intdel efforts put
forth with so much energetic skill
and malice, at Cincinnati and Chi
cago, to wipe out the Christian
Sabbath, are fraught with perlls
which awaken the greatess fears
for the future of our beloved coun-
wy.-Rrs Yns Nppvs.

WsrBEAs, The existing parties are
hopelessly unwilling to adopt an adj

fore we, in national convention as
eembled, as citizens of this free re-
public, sharing in the duties and re-
sponsibilities of its government, in
the discharge of a solemn dUty we
owe to our country and our race,
unite in the following declaration of
principles
l. That while we acknowledge the
pure patriotism and profound states
msnship of those patriots who laid
broad and deep the foundations ofthis
government, securing at once the
rights of the States s~everally and their
inseparable union by the Federal Con-
stitution, we would not merely garnish
the sepulchers Of our republican faith
ers, but we do hereby renew Jul sol
emn pledge of fealty TO the Imperish-
able principles of civil and religious
liberty embodied in the Declaration of
American Independence and our Fed
eral Constitution.
beverages is a dishonor to Christian
civilization, inimical to the best inter
ests of society, a political wrong of I'M
cqualed enormIty. subversive of the
ordinary objects of government, not
capable of being regulated or restrain
Cd by any system of license whatever,
but imperetively demanding for its
suppression effective legal prohibition
both by State and National Legisla-
ton.
3. That in view of this, and irasmuch
as the existing political parties either
oppose or ignore this great and para
mount question, and absolutely refuse
to do anything toward the suppression
of the rum traffic, which is robbing the
nation of its brightest i~ntellects, des-
troying its material prosperity, and ra-
pidly undermining its very founda-
tions, we are driven by an imperative
sense of duty to sever our connection
with these political parties, and to or
genize ourselves into aNational Prohi-
bition Party, having for its primary
object the entire suppression of the
traffic in intoxicating drinks.
4. That while we adopt the name of
the National Prohibition Party, as ex-
pressive of our primary object, and
while we denounce all Reputation of
the public debt, and pledge fidelity to
the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Federal Constitu-
ton, we deem it inexpedient to give
prominence TO other political issues.
5. That a Central Executive Commit
tee Of one from each State and Terri
tory and the District of Columbia, be
appointed by the Chair. whose duty it
shall be to take such action as in their
judgment will best promote the in
terests of the party.

The Banner Raised-EnIisted
for the War.

The Youngstown Courier, dis
gusted with the trucking of Re-
publican managers to the whisky
and larger beer interest. and no
longer willing 10 sacrifice temper
ance principles on the alter of Ro-
publican expedIency, has raised the
Prohibition banner, and placed the
Prohibition State ticket at it's head.
In an editorial it says
PRoHIBITIoN.-ThIs week we float
the Prohibition banner to the
breeze. We can stand upon the
National Prohibition Platform
without orr heads growing dizzy
or our hearts faint.
There IS no other course left us
which we a conscieutlously pur-
sue. The Republicans of Mahon-
Ing county refused TO put a tenn,
erance man in nomination for the
State Legislature, aud we fell back
upon our reserved right, and not
only refuse 10 place the nominee
at the head of our columns, but IN
stead of the Republican State ticket
we hoist the Prohibition ticket.
Whether success or defeat occur
we pledge ourselves, this time
forth, or until success shall be ac-
complished, during every campaign
to make the Prohibition issue our
cause.
We fear not our foes, who are
legion. We are upon a rock they
cannot split. We Stand squarely
upon the Issue, and glory in the Or
ganizatioD of an independent poIit-
lcal party whose fundamental prIn-
cIpie Is the prevention Of crime, by
setting to n side, ana Out OF sight,
one of the strongest temptations
known TO fallen man,-we mean
the prohibition of The manufacture
and traffic IN intoxicating liquors.

Look at one Department alone

ment. Very recently, when cer-
tain vacancies IN the clerical force
of that Department were 10 be filled,
seven h%onOrsbly discharged soldiers
of the United States army, who
served the country faithfully dur
ing The war for the Union, appear
ed among other applicants for X
animation. Six of the sever pass

were awarded, these six honorably
discharged patriot soldiers. compe-
tent and worthy though they are,
were refused appointments, while a
rebel soldier who boasts of four
years service against the country, a
rebel spy, arebel surgeon, and a
disloyalist who was once dismissed

proclIvitIes, were appointed. Here
was a test case, AMI a square DIS
crImInation IN favor of rebels rs
against Union men. This charge
We have made before. 1t has not

challenge denial. Among these
four rebels is one who, on the oc-
casIon OF the threatened rebel attack
upon the Washington arsenal, in
eighteen hundred and sixty-one,
mounted his horse in this city and
rode IN hot haste into Virginia to
inform his friends that the arsenal
was defended. The circumstances
are well-known. and the facts can
not be successfully denied. The
