4:resuming that our refuters are satiated

sometimes'; sometimes the sound of the
voice, or the -glance of the eye, is the
agent. There are examples on record, and
not a few; in' which the lovelleat woman is fas
binated by' the' most unlovely man, and vice
versa. It is said of MpLA.I3EII7; the groat
ranch statesman, that, notwithstanding his
.ersOnal disadvantages, ho was more success-
MI in his amours , than any other man of his
day. But when the poet comes to write
of 'lore he .1s more apt to select such
a subject as that of jorroxy and CLEOPATRA,
ABELABD and .11.ELonm, EfErfo' and LEAmisn,
PwriAtten and !AURA, Roam and JULIET,
PAUL - and V1401241A, Or JAOOII and RACHEL.
Our task to-day is a somewhat different one.
It is to show that the tender passion can some
times so_operate men as to bind them
closely together during their natural lives.
• rofane history 'tells us that duistri-
MAGNE fell" fiiriensly in love with his bi
shOP on account of a, philter; and there
"a a tradition mentioned in Virgil, and re
ferred to by Lord .13vacm, of an amour be
twedn two , shepherds. That, however, which
.is our' pleasing duty to describe, did not
take place in a,distant age, and is not obscured
the mist of• time, and does not come down
to us surrounded with doubts and confusion.
It is a much warmer story than that which bas
filled the youthful imagination with the details
of the self-sacrificing ftiendshiP between PA

We believe it is in " Oliver Twist" that Mr.
DIORENEI describes the character of "Nancy
Sykes," 'who, although constantly beaten by
her companion, te Bill , Sykes," repaid his
brutality . with the moat unselfish devotion. Our
lace reports present to us daily exhibitions
of a poor woman maltreated by a fiendish and
insane husband, and yet coming forward to
plead for his release from the punishment he
has so well deserved. There are many roads
to the tender passion, as wo have said. It is
developed in_ some by the personal graces of
its objects, in others by intellectual adorn
ments, and in others, still, by violence and ve
hemence.

There are many coincidences in the history,

are cold and suspicious. Both are rich and
avaricious. ' Both have betrayed the party to,
which they originally belonged. Both have
deserted their early friends. Both have

achieved notoriety—the one by professing a

and the other by assailing personal and private

all this, the friend of • BUCHANAN. Ho has
hated him with the persistency and bitter

hated him while he (Baas Err) lived in Phila

I think it ono of the most disgraceful spoolaoles
over*ltriessod,'in - -this Or any other country, that
any tiortipikof the Amerioenpoople should be found
to sympathise with the course of the Administra
tion organs in reforeneo to the deliberate and cold
blooded murder of David• C. Broderick.; losulvell
lonceivo how Mr. Buchanan may grow indignant
at being held responsible as a party to the death
of the young and gifted Senator; but I desire to
put the question to him, whether, in his moments
of serious reflection, ho can acquit himself of some
!ompunations of conscience in regard to it? The
-first man in the -Atlantic States to distrust David
C. Broderiek wee James Buchanan. Ile know
that ho was under the deepest debt of obligations
to him. lle kndw that 3Villitun M. Owin had
Mich life eriothy. He knew that Milton S. Latham
was against him. Ho know that Benjamin Franklin
Washington, at present collector of San Francis
co—an intimate friend of Gwin—was opposed to
him. He was abundantly aware, and had been
abundantly admonished, that John B. Weller, now
Governor of California, and, while Mr. Buchanan
was aspiring to ho President, a Senator in Con
4ress, had laughed at and denounced the idea of
James Buchanan being President of the United
States, Ho know that his friends In California
were to be found only among those men who clus-
tered around gallant Joe Moßibbin and. the la
mented Broderiok ; and yet, with all these facts in
the mind of the President, he has allowed his
organ, conducted by a miserable Englishman, who
has no more knowledge of American polities than
he has of the politics of 'the moon, to indulge him
elf in a heartless editorial fling at the memory of
David O. Broderick !
If Mr. Buchanan will look over the California
newspapers, which ho is in the habit of readying
at the White house, ho will ascertain one fact that
ought to bo sufficient to satisfy himself that if he
had tolerated David C. Droderict in his resist
ance to the Lecompton infamy, David C. Brode
rick would to-day be living, and a friend of his
Administration. That Broderick died because he
fought the Administration, it would be absurd to
leny. The very man who killed him was his friend,
under the deepest obligations to him, until Brode
rick chose to take ground against the Southern
chivalry In California on the Lecompton question.

George W. Curtis on Modern Infidelity.
Tho author of " Potiphar Papers" made his ap
pearance on the platform, at Concert Hall, at 8
o'clook last evening, accompanied by Rev, Wm. IL
Furness, of this city, who said that it was oust°.
mary to introduce lecturers on such occasions, but
as the lecturer in this case was bettor known than
he, the speaker, was, be deemed this a needless
ceremony, and would therefore retire, and take a
seat among the audience, which ho did. Hs retired
without mentioning the lecturer's name. Mr. Cur.
tie was greeted with a tine audience. The hall
was not entirely tilled, but among his hearers were
'lncluded many of the elite of our pity. As an in
tellectual effort, the lecture did full credit to its
talented author. It was bold, admirably written,
but exceedingly heterodox, and was delivered with
more than the speaker's usual [want of animation.
lie opened by saying that the age was amused
of being one of irreligion. This was a bad epithet,
and if only a bed name could ho given to anybody
or anything, and made to stick, all further argu
, ment against it might be dispensed with. A bad
name, however, was not always a real stigma;
hut it was those only who could receive such ma
ligning epithets in the Ride like a missile, and
wear them in front like a diamond, that bad no
thing to fear from such attempted reproach.
To ascertain the current value of "
it was necessary Butt to examine the MUM in which
this term is used. In doing this, we should find
that It consisted morein what won .said than intrhat,
they did. Organisations, like trees, pad their
youth, maturity and decay; but truth, like man,:
was immortal. This Pope had turned out tether,
for thinking for himself. Others were similarly
dealt with for exercising the saute right, and tho
great error of Protestantlem to-day was that every
sent considered the road of truth as ending at their
anti iloolc — traiitilid - of seeing thnt everAms t c -
WU/
Speaking of the slavery question, the speaker
was very severe upon everything which leaned to
wards its toleration. The ohuroh that winked at
it, in his opinion, had no mere of Cod in it then
Christ found in filo Temple whet:ilia tweed out the
money changers.
The word infidelity, as popularly used, meant
neither more nor less than dissent from puhlte
opinion. In that sense, therefore, every ono of his
hearers who thought for himself was an infidel,
and the epithet for this reason was rather a nom.
pliment than a reproach. A man's quoting
authorities to prove an opinion which he, the
speaker disbelieved, only provoked him to quote
proofs for hie own position. Whet was called "in.
fidelity" was, in feet, nothing but loateal Pro
testantism. The domineering spirit of notarial,
bigotry was represented as claiming to be the only
legal railway to heaven! This railway was guarded
and completely taken possession of by the stock
holders, who, in their official capacity, denied that
there was any other way to reach it. Many be
came disheallened at this prospect, doubted in
their own mind whether tho assurances of then,
officials would render secure the dangerous-looking
bridges on tha way. and decided, accurdin?y, to
proceed in their anon conveyance, and take the
risk of a late arrival!
The undue respect paid to the olorgy was easily
enough accounted for. Its cause was found in the
sanctity which from the early days of the colonies
attached to smooth chins and white cravats. But
a great change was overcoming public opinion in
this respect. Not half a dozenisiiirs had elapsed
sine three thousand New England clergymen had
presented a respectful petition to the Renato of the
United States, which was very uneeremonlensly

petition of a class, but really because of this gre.
dually degreasing respoot for the clergy. And he
would venture to say, that if the same number of

or shoemakers, or soap-boilers, had presented such
a petition, it would have mote very different roe op

He did not wonder that the Pulpit was becoming

THE PRESS.--PHILADELPHIA, TU
In no other respect is the growingtaste'of our
citizens for rational amusement more' strikingly
manifested than in their liberal patronage of lite
rary lectures. Indeed, sz) peculiarly does this
apply to the present, not only in our large cities
hut, relatively, even more throughout the Interior,
that with propriety ours may be termed the ago of
lectures. True, much has been done to foster this
taste. Time was, and not long ago, when lecture
audiences, no matter how polished the lecturer,
nor how choice his theme, wore proverbially small.
Cheapening the price of admission has done mush
to popolarize lecturing as an inttetution. The
coat of , tickets has boon placed (with ti few de,
servediy unsuccessful exceptions) at twenty-five,
cents, a sum which has boon found greatly more
remunerative than higher charges, as it is certainly
more in keeping with the democratic ideas of,
the thinking people, who, in the main, constitute'
the lecture-going masses. Long aince"the repute.'
Lien of Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson was established
as a writer wo heard him 'deliver one of his
vary best lectures, at fifty cents admission, 'to
scarcely thrice that number of hearers. The same
gentleman has since then, lectured in this city be
fore .audionees of nine hundred, under the auspices
of the People's Literary Institute, which, by the
way, deserves the credit of having ,bean the first to
organize a movement bore to make the leeture.room
a popularresort for the people. The great success
of this well-conducted society within the last few
years, has furnished an incentive to others, and the
result has been to make respectable lectures in come
one of our commodious halls, and not unficquently
in two or more at the same time, of almost nightly
occurrence during the lecture season, r. e., from
October to April. That a liberalizing huluenee
has been exerted by this oral mode of administer
ing literary pabulum can hardly be questioned.
During the season of 1858-9 wo heard views boldl •
expressed before popular audiences, which t.,
years ago could not have been uttered, under aim
tar circumstances, without subjecting their autho
to being hissed o 8 the platform, Not that the sen
timents expressed are now so mush more generally
received, but because the people have become more
schooled to listen calmly to things which they men
tally reject, and even condemn.
We do not believe, however, that controverted
opinions constitute the most fitting materials for

lips' lecture on " The Lost Arts," delivered at Con
cert Hall in the autumn of 1857, was a model
in this respect, and could therefore be hoard and
studied with profit by his compeers In the pro ,
feseion. ' The more fan-making and langh-pro
yoking, while they may serve as an agreeable oon-
dimentin small quantities, become extremely in
sipid when made the warp and woof, and aro cer
tain to consign their practitioners to the fate of
slim audiences. People attend lectures to bear
something more substantial. Poems, with rare
exceptions, In more respects than ono, aro not
good. Courses of scientific and historical lec
tures, in proper hands, are always profitable to
the hearer, and by judiciously advertising them,
(which, we are afraid, few getters-up of lectures
properly understand) may be made equally eo pecu
niarily. This was fully demonstrated by the at
tendance upon the courses delivered last season by
Professor Mitchell, Dr. I3oynton, and Rev. John
Lord. As a purely literary course, that provided
by the society already referred to Is probably as
unexceptionable, so far as talent Is concerned, as
it could well be. A name or two on the list, from
south of Mason and Dixon's line, would improve it,
and wo aro pleased to learn that efforts aro making
to supply this defect. Mr. Bomber, who for several
years past has given the initial lecture of the
" People's" course, Is announced to do so this, on
Thursday evening of the present week. Tickets to
the course (of eight,) admitting a gentleman and
two ladies, have been placed, by the managers, at
three dollars, which is equivalent to twrlve and a
half fonts admission to each lecture ! . The amounts
paid to the lesturops engaged we understand range
from one hundred to oho hodrsd and seventy.ilve
dollars a night. While on this subject, we may
state that a lecture will ho delivered this evening,
at Musical Fund Hall, by Rev. Henry M. Scudder,
D. D., of India, the eloquent divine and eminent
missionary ; his stsbject will be : " India—lfs
Raises, Language, and Religion." The high repu
tation of Dr. Soudder, and the interesting character
of bid theme, will secure for bins a numerous auL
dionce.
