Open.Air Preachers.

Mr. Sturgeon in q recent address on.
open air preaching made the following
remarks: He had known preachers
whose manner was simply execrable.
Some men closed their fists, and from
their action it would appear as if they
we're going to give some one a black eye,
Some men could not preach unless they
chopped and sawed the air; and he had
seen men preach with their hands behind
them lifting up their coat tails. Some
preachers initiated others, so that some
who heard them would say, That's like
Spurgeon, and of others they would say,
That's like Moody. He recommended
them by no means to initiate anybody,
but TO be themselves. Preaching mon
keys would not do, they must be preach.
ing men. He would not have any minis
ter of Christ be so grotesq1e that he
took the attention Of bis hearers from
his subject and drew it upon himself.
Then, they should regulate their voice.
It was q grand thing to have a sonorous
voice, but they should not bawl them
selves to death. He had known open
air preachers who seemed to think that
the power of the everlasting gospel had
something to do with the power OF their
lungs, and they bswled so loudly that
they had to stop every now and then to
pump air into their lungs"

Issues Of grave importance will be decided
this year. Men and parties win be made and
unmads. and Drecsdents vet up that will have
a great bearing upon the future political his
tory OF the country. As a nation of United
States we have made great progress, but
whether we have preserved intact tho prin-
ciplos Of our ancient Consultation. is a quos-
ton Yet to be decided at the ballOt-bO1.
Whether We really govern Oursel,s s OF are
governed By party. will be better known
when the voice Of the people is heard neat

nothing will appear to offend the taste of the
most cultivated and refined. The several
departments Of the paper will be conducted
By experienced journalists who follow the
profession because they are in love with It,
and who appreciate public tastes and public
ssnsibilitieS. The LEDsER is Democratic, but
eminsntly conservative, and is ever ready to
give all sides and shades Of opinion a fair
hearing. The editorials will DO live and
pointed. but carefully confederate.
Much SpsOo viii be devoted to local news

market reports will bo given each day. And
It will bs our constant aim to Sivs the latest
