nent the world ever saw" the readers Of the
DISPATCH outside Of the State may be inter.
ested in the following incidents in connec.
lion with eminent judicial officers in Viz.

The Constitution of the State requires the
election by the qualified voters of justices OF

tant duties to perform both in civil and Grim.
inal matters.
In one Of the rural districts a colored fel.
low citizen (whom we will call William

mittel to Justice Blackstone the following

before you charged with the crime of suicide
what would you do!" Alter some thought
Justice Blackstone informed the applicant
that his decision would be "Mat the party

In another county fellow-citizen Of Afr-
can descent was elected q justice. The fol-
lowing testimonial Of his eminent qualitica-
lions was furnished by one of his neighbors,
who had known him for tbirty-odd years {:
. Sr,-You underrate this justice. In the
first place, he is great rogue-notoriouSly
so; but he is very pious, and has prayer
meetings. Somebody told him that sacrifice
was an acceptable part of worship, and that

meeting, has feast of fat things, and has sto-

Methodists-South and North.

Nc published very recently the very IN
trrestipg proceedings Mt Round Lake, N. L.
wh.re the leading bishops and ministers OF
the Southern Church we've received VIII
very great cordially. Later still very SIM
lar scenes have been repeated ut Sea Gin,
Long Island, where Bishop DoGGETT, Dr.
LEE. of this place; DR.. PoIsAL and Dr.
SARGENT. of Baltimore, and General FISH,
of Missouri, were received with marked
respect and brotherly feeling. At the last
General Conference Of the Methodist Church
South the question Of rtGuion OF the
Methodist Church was considered very earn.
cs,lc and cordially, and the matter placed in
a fair way to q successful and amicable ter
minatiGp.
The Baptists and the PresbyterianS North
and South are gradually and surely rtunlt'nS
upon q common platform of brotberly rela-
tionsbip and mutual devotion to the COM
mon object of all the churches.
We bail these facts as the most encouraging
signs we have had of the restoration OF peace
and harmony to the Union. The churches
divided the Union before the politicians and
Legislatures did, The subject of slavery
was the tirebrand which separated those
churches, and there was little chance of hold
ing the Union together when they were di-
yided.
The introduction of the African into this
country has been the fruitful source OF all
Cur national woes. The ararce Of the bad
men Who brought him to America can never
be too much eXecrated, US the evils Which
flowed from their act are almost endless.
But slavery being dead, there is no reason
that an issue about it should longer divide
the churches, and it is time that brethren en-.
Pertaining the same views about religion and
that great question which orerIldes all
others--the salvation of the soul--should
come together, and do what they may to heal
the wounds of the nation, which are still
bleeding and wasting the rigor and lie of
the country.
We very sincerely, therefore, express our
qualification ut the scenes showing the mu-
tual affection between the brethren of the
two sections at the northern camp-meellDgs.
We cannot overrate their Importance, and
cannot too much fclicitate ourselves upon
their occurrence. Religion is the highest OF
the agents that act upon the mind and stimtl'
late man to feeling and action. When that
separated the Union there was no possibility
Of holding it together. Bya beautiful pro-
cess Of compensation for our national ills we
may saw that when it unites and binds us TO-
sether there can be no separation.
