The Cincinnati Enquirer says
that during the last few weeks, some
of the leading Western Democratic
politicians who have been sojourning
at the White Sulphur Springs have
been talking about the best available
candidate for the next Presidency,
and that the preponderance of senti-
timent seemed to regard Governor

opinion is indorsed by the Pittsburg

THE SHAKERS.

so many qneer things in the way of social
contrasts have been offered latoly, that surprise
has become an almost tanished emotion, and
yet the spectacle Of shaker convention in
one Of the fashionable halls Of New York; and
attended by throngs of men and women Of the
period. is rather out of the common order. Such
a convention was held in steinway Hell on Sun
day last What possessed the milenual philos-
orhers to take The step is not explained II
could scarcely have been a desire to proselytile
the giddy butterflies Of fashion, for one Of the
many singular tenets OF the Shaker faith is that
believers must be brought into the fold from al
innate knowledge Of the truth aud not by force
of persuasion in any form. Furthermore, they
are not at all anxious as most religious bodies
are to increase their numbers They do not be-
lieve in increase in any way, being the most in
yeterate Ct conservatives. Did the ministers
and elders desire TO see something of the "fond
deluave world" that they might the more Ell
fectiyely descant upou its follios and enormities

meeting as stated, and great many people have
felt a newly excited interest i'll this stran-
gest, possibly, of all the religious sects Ire
mendous as seems the gulf between the two the
Shakers really combine some Of the most dis
tinchve traits Of raonastiesm and Quakerisui.
Celibacy is one of their cardinal rules, and non-
resistance is another. Yet again they are given
to strange physical demonstrations in worship, of
the same essentially nervous character as those
preached by the whirlng deryishes and other saw
age tribes. Again, they profess to be Christians,
placing their own Interpretation upon the char
acter Of Christ, however; and holding that every
man has the power to become messiah il he 80
wills. A more inexplcable religious formula
cannot surely be found. and yet the order must
receive constant accessions from the world with
out for it is denied natural increase by one of it,
sternest laws. 1t is considerably over 100 year,
old aud its growth though slow has been constant
from the beginning. Common right in property
