A DILEMMA.

Our Independent friends of the Picayune
have placed themselves in sad predica-
ment 1t was very recently proclaimed
that Mr.. Packard had been "born north of
Mason and Dixon's line" This was q
startling disqualification, but it was fol-
lowed with the further declaration that
the State of Maine was responsible for his
nativity. Shocked at this unexpected
bomb which the Picayune had thrown into
the Republican camp, and unable to con-
tradict either proposition, we attempted
retort, when we were unable to contradict
in reply. We knew the intense fidelity of
the Picaysne to the South during period
of forty years. We knew how it had
indicated its title as home institu-
ton by staying at home and pre-
serving the peace in the midst of the
war. We attempted to palliate these
fatal charges by the mild suggestion that
the founder of the Pic was q native Of
New Hampshire, its only successful con-
ductor vermonter and compatriot of
Governor Kellogg, and that many of its
best business patrons were subject to the
same terrible latitudinal disability. We
now find at the head of the Democratic
city ticket the name Of Nh. E. Pilsbury.
This estimable gentleman and popular
financier is subject to the first 4isqua.;6-
cation established by our super-Southern
contemporary. Mr.. E. Pilsbury was born
north of the limit line of official and
representative fitness. TO compel the
home institution to swallow this nomi-
nation must require some process anala-
gous to that by which some unsavory
medicine is administered to mule. We
may imagine the political farrier obliged to
resort to a metapharical twisting of the
nose and drenching with the bottle to
effect this sanitary operation. When.
however, it comes to be known that Mr..
+. Pilsbury was not only born within the
limits OF, but was actually native of the
State-shau we mention it?-of Maine,
and that he was actually q fellow-citizen
OF Mr.. Packard, and thus subject to the
double disqualification of Latitude and
departure, We presume that the reftao-
tory PIC win crunch the bottle bstwsen

We have no fancy for either evolutions
or revolutions which are not elevating in
their character. The theory which de-
grades humanity by tracing it back
through evolution to the 'infusoria, and
gives it no higher relationship to the Gre
ator than that possessed by the lowest
reptile, is akin in its influences to that
social and domestic revolution by which
the weird sisters have undertaken to de-
stroy the sanctities Of the marriage tie,
and release inclination from the demands
of obligation.
There are plenty of abuses to be re-
formed among mankind without ventur-
ing into such questionable fields as these.
For true scientists there is verge enough,
if they turn their quest toward real won
ders, not as yet dreamed of in their phi
losophy; while the female reformer may
find plenty to do in restraining the vices
of custom and the extravagancies of
fashion, and thus be Of far greater service
to her sex and race than she could posi-
bly, be by relieving virtue of that self
restraint which is its special shield, and
weakening the ties on which the purity of
wifehood and the sacredness Of mother
hood depend.

or chronic insecurity.
1t is of the highest moment that We
look into this matter, not only from the
standpoint of the statistician, but Of the
statist also. The heated partisan and
demagogical iconoclast are by no means
the proper parties to solve problems of
such serious concern. In the check ex-
perienced by home seekers, who abandon
a foreign land for this, the thoughtful
can discover on what slight issues our ma
tional prosperity may hinge. To foreign
ers who have sought homes in this coun-
try we are mainly, if not entirely, i'll
debted Tor the measure of prosperity We
have thus far secured. If we repel
such contributors to our wealth and
greatness by violations of the funda-
mental principles of political, CONNER
cial and financial economy, we sap the
foundations Of our own well-being. It is
optional with the foreigner to come hither
or remain at home; and if he comes, to
stay, or to return. Superior material and
governmental inducements are required to
attract him and secure his permanent citi-
zenship and good will. Deny these by
legislative Inconsistencies and failure to
protect him in his personal and property
rights, and you not only drive him back,
but weaken the claims of republicanism
upon the confidence of mankind.

Is it Wanted

Quite number Of my brethren in the ministry
have requested me to publish in pamphlet form,
the series of articles on the Abrahamic Covenant
which recently appeared in the Central Rresbyte-
rian. The Committee of Publication does not see
its way clear to do this work. Therefore if the
pamphlet is published, must incur the expense.
Not being able to do this without some assurance
of help, will thank all who wish copies of the
pamphlet to arite to me at once, stating the num-
Der of copies desired. If the response to this re-
quest is sufficiently encouraging, | will have the
pamphlet issued Immediately and forwarded to
subscribers. The cost per copy will be not more
than that of the well known tract Come to Je.
sus." The pamphlet will contain about one hun
dred pages. The only otject'is to spread abroad
the much needed instruction which have pre-
pared by long and careful study of the subject. /

SHOULD THE COMMITTEES BE SEPARATED?
BALTIMORE. May 4th, 1876.
[ notice with much regret, that an effort will be
made at the meeting of the General Assembly to
separate the Committees of Foreign Missions and
Sustentaton, and remove the latter from this city.
1t has been my privilege as member of the Ex-
ecutive Committees of both, to witness during the
past year the harmonious and efficient working to
gether of the two Secretaries; one supplying the
place of the other, when the work of the church
required the absence of either from the Office. And
as member of the auditing committee examining
the books and accounts of our most excellent
Treasurer, have seen how by his judicious man.
agement of the funds of the one be has been able
to meet the pressing necessities of the other, and
saved hundreds of dollars in interest. even if it
would have been possible for him to have raised the
money from other sources, which | very much
doubt. These facts have forced the conviction
upon my mind that the two Committees cannot be
separated at present, without serious loss and in
convenience to the work of the Church. 1t may
be possible that the interests of Christs kingdom
would be advanced by removing both from the city
of Baltimore and if so, hope it will be done
much as we will regret parting with these beloved
brethren. What G Ids providence has seemed SO
wisely and happily to have joined together. let us
be careful how we put asunder.
