':_ - 41 tachment to the Christian religion and its principlea - and institutions—so many should be found not at all ashamed to avow them selves as the abettors and advocates of war. It is' still more unaccountable that many of the ministers of the Gospel of Peace, either tacitly or directly, give their sanction to the execrable system of war fare. I well remember the time during our war with France,—when, in almost every parish and every Church, on the first day of the week, during a long succes sion of years, the following prayer was regularly presented to the Almighty : "Go forth with our fleets and armies, and cover their heads in the day of battle.— Grant them success in defending the rights of our beloved country, and send them home crowned with the laurels of victory," &c. The plain English of which was no thing.short of this :—That the God of all the families of all the earth, Benevolent It uler of the universe, would interpose his Almighty power to enable a depraved mass of our , countryman to slash, and mangle, ,aud slaughter thousands and ten thousands of another nation, children of the same uni versal Parent, and send them to the eternal world in an unprepared condition, with their minds filled with rage and malignity, and their hands stained with blood—in or der that we may raise shouts of triumph, and prepare fetes 'and illuminations on ac count of our having obtained the victory— while ten thousands of widows and of or: phans will mourn in sadness over such a triumph, till the remotest period of their existence. What a strange scene for an gels and archangels to contemplate ! To behold beings of the', same species, who ought to be united in the bonds of love and harmony, raging like tigers and demons, accounting it their glory to hurl the instru ments of death and destruction against each other, and to triumph in the number of the slain ! If war had never raged in our world, the idea of it would have exci ted - the utmost horror and indignation in every mind; and the fact that it has exist ed in every age and in every nation, will be an eternal disgrace to the human char acter in all worlds where it is known. In dependently of its inhumanity, atrocity and contrariety to the princiPles of Ohristiani- - ty, there is an absurdity in warfare, as arbiter of national disputes, w ich is a d' - grace to beings endowed with tion fa culties. It cannot - determine in. n tonal contests on which siii'lclUorice and rigid are to be found. It may determine what party has the greatest share, of dexterity and physical force, just as the lion that vanquishes a tiger may determine that he is the strongest Of 'the two ; but it never can decide who has a right to certain terri tory, or who has done or suffered wrong in any action that may have been commit ted. It is absurd and preposterons in a pe- cuniary and commercial point of view ; for, after millions of pounds 'or dollars are wast ed, and hundreds of thousands of human be ings sacrificed, to the demon of war, every thing generall y returns, when the war has ceased, to . nearly - the samkstate as when it commenced; with this disal exception, that thousands of immortal beings . have been wickedly slanghtered and premature ly hurriedinto eternity, and millions of mo ney spent, which might have been initru mental in , propagat , ingtlie Gospel of Peace; and promoting the regeneration if the world. Can any thing be more glaringly in consistent _in beings endowed with moral powers 'and the faculty of reason ? , I blush for my countrymen and for yours, when I call to mind what has lately ' passed respecting the territory of Oregon —a territory which, of 'right, belongs to neither country, and which neither Britain nor the United States - have the least occa sion for occupying. A erica has :more territory than it cap occu y-for a century' to come, and Britain h more colonies, than she can well man 'e, and neither one nor the other has yet asked the natives of Oregon for permission to settle in that rep. glen, or offered a .compensatipn for the land they ;lish to ocentoy. Yet bo th nations ale; I.inid in their domande for war, if the dispitee which have arisen be ,npt other wise settled: In the British Senate,, it was announced by the Prime Minister that they I wore prepared to assert their rights by physical force, and the sentiment.was res ponded tp by the' instantaneous applause of the assembly Of , senators ; and .I am sorry to see that similar' sentiments , prevail on, your side of the Atlantic. It is strange in deed,' that for the sake of a few Miles of wilderness, at thousands of miles distance, for which,they have,no use, and to which they have no natural right, they' should think of throwing away millions of pounds ' and slaughtering thousands of mem,.:. Even ' to talk..4of war r m such a Case, is to me a plain proof,. notwithstanding , our„ boasted civilization, that 'as nations we are 'still in a state .of eerniZaibariam.

TEACHER. , There was a little girl in, my own Sunday school, that was called at an early age to lie down and die.' • She was visited by her teat:her with great frequency and urgency. The teacher, on the last occasion t ,found *her-very weak, and .asked her whether she was, happy ; to which she replied, “Yes." On inquiring is to the ground of her hope, she' said she was resting on the word of Jesus Christ. Pausing a little, she said to her teacher, "You have told me that Jesus will give to those who die and trust in him a golden "crown in heaven."„ The teacher, with tears rolling down her cheek, said, is true ; you shall have such a crown, according to the .word•of Christ." !" said the little girl, "shall you get a crown ?"- The teacher, cut to . the heart for a moment, paused for a reply, and the. little darling lifted up, her , sweet eyes with gratitude to the teacher, (mistaking the ob- . ject of the pause,) and said,-,—"Well, if h 4 does not give you a crown, I will - take inice from my head'and putit on yours."

WHAT IS TRUE MORAL GREATNESi.- There are the two points which test the . moral greatness of men. The one is high elevation in prosperity, the other deep de pression in adversity. He who, when ev erything is flourishing, can reniain the 'same unassuming, unpretending man—humbly but firmly discharging the citifies of his station, devoid of haughtiness - and pride ; and he who, when every thing• is prostrate, can retain his self respect, firmness and-re solve, • perseveringly discharging present duty without servility or meanness, is. the great mien. - Such a one is centred in him self. He is a man in the true sense of the word. Omo.--The Ohio State: Journal con tains a brief view of the results of the finan ces of that State for 'the kit , fiscal year, ending 15th November ultimo. From it we gather that the taxable property enu merated in the grand list for 1845, amounts to the sum of $144,1.60,489. The ratio of increase for the year on lands, cattle &c., is as great as usual; that on mercantile capital, money at interest, &c., is very great, exceeding $6,000,000. The canal tolls have slightly diminished ; but the geneial result is favorable in the extreme, being an aggregate increase of $8,018,009. The whole amount received on the canals (*ink the year, was $504,031,08. - The revenues of the State are amply snflicient to meet the interest on the public debt; and , all the expenses of the . State. The high credit and integrity unhe State of Ohio, therefore, remain unimpeached ; and the world may be challenged to show'another political community, which, in little more 'than fortY years, has grown to such magni tude, maintained a more unblemished char acter, enjoyed such . advantages of Provi dence, or employed them more sneeees fully.

ANECDOTE.-A good story is told of .4 Mississippi candidate for Congiess, showing, we suppose,.that as in war; - "all is fair in politics,' as Maj. Noah in fact contends. The story is of two op posing rivals for Congressional honors, at present canvassing the same district. One .of them---:the one of whom the joke is par ticularly told—ii said to be a perfect "wheel horse" in the way 'of stump ''speaking, throwing in the "big licks," telling "long yams f r 41r,c. The other is represented as alentlernan of great refinement, and completely fasci nating every one with the suavity, of his manners and the friendliness and familiari ty of his address ; in fact, in individual elec tioneering, he is "hard to beat." At this game he was rather getting ahead of his stump-speaking rival—trnvelling all o ver the . districti - and,stopping everybody he met and having a long and friendly-chat.— Ilia opp.onent became aware of all that was going on, and being convinced that be could not stand the silent and secret electioneer ing of his•friend, resolved on the following way of checking his influence. While riding along one day ahead of his rival about a quarter of a mile, he met a tall verdant looking son of the soil, leading an ox, and accosted him thus , :—"Good 'mor ning, friend; about a quarter of a mile back you -will meet with a middle-sized, middle aged man, riding a bald:faced, sorrel horse. Iwish you to avoid speaking to him, and to give him the read. iB very crazy, and imagines that he is really a candidate for Congress, and if you talk to, or ques tion ,him at all on the subject, he becomes perfectly furious, and even dangerous. I have him in charge, and do hope, uy friend, that you will yield him the road, and haVe no conversation with him, ,whatever." In due time the countryman met with the "middle-sized man," and, as the latter was about, addresslng him with the greatest. po liteness imaginable, he . seamperpd off into the bu.Thea,leaving ox and all, like a quar ter horse I—N. 0.

Pierson and Thaddeus Stevens. frrA Philadelphia Correspondent of the N. Y. Mirror, in noticing the velum! of Poems from the pen of LYDIA JANS Prensox, entitled "Forest Leaves," which made its appearance in the Cities a short time since, relates a pleasant incident con• nected with the past history of the authoress, and our distinguished former fellow-citizen, THADDEUS Sravarrs, Esq. The Poem, to which reference is had, we believe, is thatwhich appeared originally in the "Star and Banner," t►t the time when the discussion of the Common - School question was engaging general attention, and was dedicated to the eloquent and fearless champion of the then unpopular Cause Of Education. The correspond ent of the Mirror remarks: "Mrs. PIERSON resides on a beautiful farm situate in the midst of vdense forest, in one of the Northern counties of Penn sylvania.. From her secluded reheat she sends forth her sweet warblings with a truthfulness to the scenes around her, and Ito the emotions of the human heart, that cannot fail to delight all who take pleasure in the 'reminiscences of ,rural scenery of by-gone days. There is an interesting story connected with this lady ; and as it shows the man ner in which she was provided with a home it maybe useful to some•of your poetical friends to put them in the way of following in the foot-steps of the fortunate authoress. A number of years ago, when the best talents, of Penrisylvania were call ed into requisition to establish a system of Common'Schools for.the general education of the people, THADEUS STEVENS, a distin guished lawyer of the State, made a mas terly speech in the Legislature in favor of education. Judge ELLIS LEWIS, WIIO i iS, you know, distinguished for his learning and ability as a -Jurist, was at the time President of several" Literary Institutions, and was also zealously engaged in prorrio sting the cause of education by delivering literary.and saientific lectures. About this time a powerful production in Poetry, in favor of educatili, •froth the pen of Mrs. 'Pierson, made its appearance, and gave a new impetus to the cause, _Judge Lewis made immediate inqUiry concerning_,the lady's situation in life, and ascertained • that she had been at one time in good circum stances, but, owing to it king illness of her husband, and, a sad train of miSfortunes, the fair authoresi, with. a large family, was without a heine, and in, a state of great pe cuniary embarrassment. It is said that he met Mr. Stevens, then a' rich bachelor, in the Chamber of the House of Representa tives, and suggested the propriety of rale, ing something for the relief of so much talent and Worth. With ' that true be nevoTence for which Mr. Stevens ie at tinguished, he atitherized.the Judgelo pur: chase a suitable farm, such as the lady her self might select, and withdut any limitwith respect to the price, to draw upon . him fOr the amount The lady was overwhelmed with astonishment when she received a letter from Judge Lewis, who was ordY known to her by reputation, apprising her of his *mission. She, however, rnide the selection, and.the Judge made the pur chase; drew on , Mr. Stevenalor ' the pur chase, money, and forwarded to Mrs. Pier son the - deed, drawn of course in the . best legal form, to Thaddeus Stevens in trust for the separate use of Lydia Jane Pierkon and her heirs and her assigni forever. It is but justice to all parties to add that Mrs. Pierson was an entire , stranger to Judge Lewis and Mr. Stevens. Neither had ever seen her. It is in this woodland retreat of her own selection that she sends forth her "Forest. Leant"! to delight the hearts of all, and particularly those who see nothing around them but monotonous lines of brick and mortar,, GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE CIIERORRE NATION.—We have already noticed the commission of several murders and the at- . tempt to,murder R. J. Meigs, a prominent Cherokee. Indian,in die early part of lait month. 'nose murders, it is said; 'were committed by Outhrtied Indiani, who have been engaged in frequent murdeis, and for wkose apprehension the council orthe'ne tion had previously offered a ' reward of $3,000. It seems, from an extra from the Arkarisas Intelligencer, of the 12th ult., that several hundred Cherokees turned out with the determinclion to apprehend the murderers at all heards.- The extra says that; according to infoimation from Evans ville, on the Cherokee line, eleven Indians had been killed and eighteen wounded.— Of this number, were James Starr, the father of the murderers, and Wash, Starr, and another nian, were wound ed, and liad fled •to Evansville' for protec tion.

The amount of the interest expected to .be due in Febeuary next, is estimated at $OOO,OOO. To meet the deficiency, the re i are $616,000 taxes assessed for 1895 yet due from the several counties, after deducting costs of Collection, &c.; also, $257,- .000 for previous years—making a total of availa ble outstanding Vix of $873,000. .

IL — The evident setentirenisi;of the public mind in this community, in regard , to , the attempt now being made by . a - few individuals to establish a• branch of the 4Mistical Institntion",in our midst, 'furnishes the gratifying assurance that the deep rooted hostility to•secret, oath-bound Associations of ei•ery name and gar&--Whether banded togeth er under the fides and obligations of the "ancient and venerable" order of Masons, its puerile and degenerate offspring Odd Fellowism, or the equal ly objections' "Order of the Sons of Temperance, fitly denominated the bastard offspring of Masonry and twin sister of Odd Fellowism—which has so pre-eminently characterized the political verdicts of the people of Adams, continues to exist in un abated intensity, and will re-develope itself in effi cient action so surely as occasion shall call for it. Distinguished as Adams county has been for her manly and uncompromising warfare against the principles upon which these Associations are based, it would be strange indeed should her,citi zens regard with calm indifference the establish ment of a Society in their midst, whose organiza tion and successful conduct they believe to be fraught with danger to the purity and perpetuity of our civil institutions. We are happy to believe that the feeling in our community upon this sub sect is right ; and it would perhaps be Av,ell for the thoughtless to learn a few prudent lessons from the past, and beware how they trifle with or attempt to brow-beat a settled and decided public opinion. Having done their duty in the great struggle which so effectually accomplished the destruction and dissolution of the Masonic Institution, as to preclude all hope of its resuscitation in our midst, the members of the Anti-Masonic' party have since busied themselves 'in defence of great Con. stitutional Principles, as from time to time they hafe been hazaided in attacks from other and e qually dangerOus sources. Yet they are as deeply imbued as ever with a conviction of the evils and danger necessarily accruing from the extensive diffusion of the illiberal obligations of that and similar institutions,—confident as ever in the strength and efficiency of their organization, and ready, if needs be, to respond to the summons which shall °nee more call them to do battle in behalf of the principles of their early love.. .To the Order of Odd Fellowism we oppose the same objections that are urged against Masonry 7 'and the claims put forth by its advocates,.w&believe it to be a purely selfish institution—opposed to true Charity, calculated tp paralyze the influence and dry up the natural sources of this the first of the virtues—that its unmeaning mummeries and mock ceremonies must foster a theoretical abstract morality inimical to .Religion and promotive of practical infidelity—that, independent of every positive obligation, -the necessary tendency•of the organization will be to interfere with and serious ly affect every department* society--that its in fluence Will 1:1"C felt the ordinary.relations of life, in the every-day intercourse and dealing of man with man, in the exercise of the rights of fireman at the ballot-box, in our legislative halls, and in our Courts of Justice—and that this influence wilt be subversive of that rule of conduct which con stitute the charm and value of civilized socitey, an impartial administration of law and justice.— These propositions we hold to be susceptible of ready demonstration; and acting under a firm con viction of their truth, it will be ounpurpose, from time to time, to urge thorn, in such way as we best can, upon the attention of our read- ' Thus much by way of apology for introducing the subjoined sketch of a late trial in Lancaster, as reported in last week's Lancaster papers, for which, without any-further comment, we bespeak the serious attention of every reflecting reader.— Youthful as this new Order is, it will be observed that the evidence in the 'trial fully sustains the position that the necessary and nature/ tendency of the obligations assumed by members of Odd Fellow Institutions, is, so to warp and bias their feelings as to unfit them for an impartial discharge of the most sacred of all citizen duties—the most obnoxious feature that was urged against hoary headed Masonry i; its corruptest days.

(Cr While the,whole Whig Press,of the State is speaking Cutin manly and indignant upon the ultra free-trade and Anti-Pennsylvania policy . fboldly and tuidisguisedly urged by President olk and Mr. Walker, in their reeomniendatiotut to Congress, we regret to find the Locofoco Press with althest es much unanimity falling in with, and apologizing for, the President's views. Assu -1 red as we always were of Mr. Polk's devotion to free-trade principles, we expected little else from him than what has appeared. Y 1 the loud pro feisions of attachment to the Tariffof 18 , 12, made by Locofoco speakers and leaders during the last campaign, with their violent 'denunciations of Mr. CLAY for some 'unguarded expressions , of opinion upon the led us to hope that the "Demo- I cracy" of Pennsylvania at leastwouldstand firmly by the interests of their own State. We fear, how ever. that we are to be disappointed. The message of the President has called forth the following remarks from the Philadelphia North American,-an independent paper: The Tariff, upon which the President has spoken in terms that will startle his friends in Pennsylvania, demands our ear liest attention. . That the positions of President Polk are erroneous,,is not -a source of any peculiar feeling on the part of the people of Penn sylvania;for the Tariff has overcome the efforts of minds even more.prelific of error than his own ; but it must be a poignant and, mortifying. reflection that -the shaft which quivers in the heart of Pennsylvania is plumed with her own feathers. Her votes and influence made him President ; and under what condition were that influ ence and those votes given ? He was sup ported as a friend of the Tariff. • His' let ter to Mr. Kane cenveyed, as was intend ed to convey, the assurance that he. was in favor of the Tariff principle and .of the Tar-. in . -itself. ; His first legislative act proves that letter to be a forgery or a falsehood— , a forgery if not written by him, and_afalse hood- if- -it -Were. The contract between Mr. Polk and the people of Pennsylvania wart a distinct one ; without the pledge con veyed by his letter he would never have. obtained the vote of this State; with that pledge he did obtain her vote. Where is the pledge mow ? Iris vainio_attempt_to escape, by dint of .professional ingenuity, through an opening in.the, indictment, or by special pleading on the phraseology of that pledge. It was understood to be • a frank, honest, manly avowal of sentiment in favor of the Tariff; it was so ufied . by every politician and every 'press quit 'imp .ported him in the State.. Mr. Polk 'distinct ly consented to run-as a tariff candidate for the Presidency. in 'PentisylVania;' - he _was as such urged, and, as. such,. received the vote of this great commonwealth. What is his position now t We linger lip& this point, for its importance ,cannot be exaggerated. Either he has changed his views, or lie then thought as he now thinks, and in the canvass he committed a fraud.
