Tmi isrijr PspaHtuent, June 25,1864, TO THE PEOPLE OP THE UNITED STATES. l is l,ll act of Congress, approved June 00, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorised to issue an amount not exuding two hundred millions of dol lars in Treasury notes, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding seven and three tenths per contain, redeemable after tiireo years from date, and to exchange ihe same for lawful money. The Sec retary is farther authorized to convert the same into bonds, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding six per centum pay able in coin. In pursuance of the au thority thus conferred, I now offer to the people of the United States Trea sury notes as described in my adver tisement dated July 25,1864. The circumstances under which this loan is asked for, and your aid invoked; though differing widely from the exist ing state of affairs three years ago, are such as to se.cure equal encouragement and security. Time, while profiting that tho struggle for national unity was to exceed in duration and severity our worst anticipations, has tested the na tional strength, and developed the national resources, to an extent alike unexpected and remarkable, exciting equal astonishment at home and abroad Tbreo years of war have burdened you with a debt which,'but three years since would have seemed beyond your ability to meet. Yet the accumulated wealth and productive energies of the nation have proved to be so vast that it has been borne with comparative ease, and a peaceful fufurc would, hairdly feel its weight. As a price paid for’national existence, and the preservation of free institutions, it does not deserve, a mo ments consideration. Thus far the war has been supported and carried on, as it only could have been, by a people resolved, at whatever cost of blood and treasure, to transmit, unimpaired, to posterity, the system of free government bequeathed to them by the great men who framed it. This de liberate and patriotic resolve has devel oped a power surprising even to them selves. It baß shown that in less than a century a nation has arisen, usurped in vigor, and exhaustless in resources, able to conduct, through a series of years, war on its most gigantic scale, and finding itself, when tfbar its close, almost unimpared in the material ele ments of power. It has, at the present moment, great armies "in tho field, fac ing an enemy' apparently approaching a period, of utter exhaustion, still strug gling with a force; the greater and more desperate as it sees, and because it sees,, the near approach of a final and fatal consummation. Such, in my deliber ate judgment; is the present condition of the great contest for civil liberty iu which yon are now engaged. Up to the present moment you have readily and cheerfully afforded tho na©ttna iiecesswty"ta' support) ' your -go vernment in this protracted struggle. It is your war. You have proclaimed it and you have sustained it against trai tors everywhere, with a patriotic devo tion unsurpassed in the world’s history-. The securities offered are such as should command your ready confidence. Much efiort has been made to shake public faith in our national credit, both at home and abroad. As yet we have asked no foreign aid. Calm and self reliant, our own means havo thus far provod adequate to our .wants. They are yet ample to meet those of the pre sent and the future. It still remains for a patriotic people to furnish the needful supply. The ; brave men:; who are fighting our battles by land and sea must he fed and clothed, munitions of war of all kinds must be furnished, or the war must end in defeat and disgrace. This is not the time for any lover of his country-to inquire as to tho state of the money market, or ask whether he can so invest his surplus capital as to yield him a large return. No return, and no profit can be desirable, if followed by national dissolution, or national dis frace. Present profit, thus acquired,,is ut the precursor of future and speedy destruction. No investment can be so surely profitable as that which tends to insure the national existence. I am encouraged in the belief that by the recent legislation of Congrose our finances may soon be placed upon a sound er and more stable footing. The present deranged condition of the currency is imputable, in a great degree, to dis turbances arising from the withdrawal of necessary checks, often inevitable in time of war, when expenditures must largely exceed any possible supply of coin. The opportunities thus presented to acquire sudden wealth have led to vicious speculation, a consequent in crease in prices, and violent fluctuation: The remedy is'to be found only in con trolling the necessity which begets the evil. Hitherto w'e have felt the need of more extensive and vigorous taxation. Severe comment has been made upon what seemed to many an undue timi dity ahd tardiness of action, on the part of Congress in this regard. I deem it but just to say that very great misap prehension has existed, and perhaps still exists upon this point. Legisla tors, dike all others, have much to lestrn in a new condition of affairs. An en tirely new system was to be devised, and ,that system must necessarily be the growth of time and experience.' It is not strange that first efforts should have (iroved, Imperfect and inadequate. To ay heavy burdens on a great and pat riotic people ip such a manner as to he equal, and 88 to occasion the least amount of suffering or annoyance, re quires time and,caution, and vast labor; and, with all these, experienced need ful to test the value of the system, and correct its errors. Such has been the’ ■work which Congress was called upon to perform. I -am happy to say that daily results ar6 proving the Internal Revenue t to exceed^ = efficiency the mo3l sanguine expectations its „au thors. In tho month-of- June,'lB6o, it yielded about four and ono-half mil lions of dollars, while the corresponding month of this year returned about fif teen millions under the sajne law. Un der the now law, which ent into ope ration on the "first day of the present month, the Treasury not unfrequentlv receives one million in a day. As time and experience enable the officers em ployed in collecting tho revenue to enforco the stringent provisions of the law, I trust that a million per day will bo found the rule and not the, excep, J* 1 ® 11 ' m uch space is undoubtedly left for improvement in the law, and in its administration, as - a greater amount qf necessary information is' acquired.; The proper sources of revenue, and the niost effective modes of obtaining it, are best developed in the execution of ex isting laws. And I have caused'mea sures to be initiated which, will, it is be hoved, enable Congress so to improve and enlarge the system as, when taken in connection with, the revenue from customs, and other sources, to afford an ample and secure basis, for the national credit. Only on such a basis, and in a steady and vigorous restraint upon cur- can a remedy bo found for exist ing evils. Such restraint can only be exercised when the government is fur nished with means to provide for its necessities. But without the aid of a patriotic people, any government is Eowerless, for this or any other desira le end. The denominations of the notes pro posed to be issued, ranging from fifty to five thousand dollars, place these securi ties within the reach of all who are dis posed to aid their country. For their redemption the faith and honor and property of that country are solemnly pledged. A successful issue to this con test, now believed to be near at hand, will largely enhance, their value to the holder; and peace once restored, all hardens can be lightly borne. He who selfishly witholds his aid in the hope of turning his available means to greater immediate profit, is speculating upon his country’s misfortunes, and may fiud that what seems to be present gain leads only to future loss. I appeal, therefore, svith confidence to a patriotic people, and invoke the efforts of all who love their country, and, desire for. it a glori ous future, to aid. their government in sustaining its credit, and placing that credit upon a stable foundation. W. P. Fessenden, Secretary of the Treasury. PAUL’S WEAKNESS. : Yet, taught by grace, how little did this great man think of himself! To the Corinthians he writes: “Of my self I will not glory, but in mine infir mities,” (2 Cor. xii. 5.) He knew that he had nothing which he had not re ceived, (1 Cor. iv. 7.) His greatest privileges by birth and advantages by nature, all these he counted but “ loss,” "yea, but “ dung” ior the “ excellency of -the knowledge of Christ Jesus” his Lord. iVoCttre-otyonnth be had inherited from his mother’s womb, but his very weakness, he looked upon as a preparatory grace of Him that called him. And a twofold weak ness this was. As an adherent of the “ strictest sect of Jews/' (Acts xxvi. 5,) he was m&de to experience, under the burden of the law, that weakness of which he speaks, (Rom. v. ; 6,j “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for us.” Here we shall speak of that “ weakness’' and those “ infirmities," of .which he says, “Most gladly therefore, will I rather glory, in them', that the power of Chrisf may rest 'upon me," (2 Cor. xii. 9.) What he means by the “ thorn in :the flesh," (v. 7,) which ho had to carry about him, “ the messenger of Satan" to buffet him, (after the manner of Job,) he has wisely, withheld from us, not un likely for this obvious reason, that evert) Christian, suffering under whatsoever temptation, might have the benefit of applying to his own peculiar case the ghostly comfort he derived from this doleful apostolic confession. Far from rejecting Luther’s view of the apostle alluding to some “ great spiritual temp tation," yet we deem it more likely that Satan, as his basis for buffeting him, had recourse to some grevious bodily affliction, —a view which seems clearly indicated by many allusions we find in his Epistles. “ Through infirmity of the flesh" he preached the Gospel to the Galatians, and he praises them for not having despised or taken offence at his “ temptation which was in the flesh,” (Gal. iv. 13,14.) His proud opponents at Corinth, he hears say of him : “ His letters are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible;” (2 Cor. x. 10 ; cf. v. 1:who in presence am base among you.") Thus, it should seem, we have to think of the apostle as in his person weak and infirm; and as such Raphael has also painted him. “ A poor, loan,' little man, like Master Philip,” (Melanc thon,) so Lutber thought of him; and Nicophorus Callisti, an Oriental Church historian of the fourteenth century, also calls him “a short, stooping man." Mor iB it improbable, that his first ac quaintance with Luke was as his “be loved physician; and Phoebe’s succour and Miry’s labour (Rom. xvi. 2,6) may likewise have been bestowed on his bodily infirmities. Hut why does he glory in such his infirmities ? Because he was thereby drawn to cast himself entirely into: the arms of his heavenly Lord. If we read the register of his la bors and sufferings, which, in sorrow to be compelled to such “foolish boasting,’’ he details in 2 Cor. xi. ; -if we hear him relate to his elders of the Ephesian church at. Miletus,: in , what manner jhe had been with them at all seasons, (Acts xx. 17, &o.;) if we follow his whole course from Jerusalem to Rome, as St. Luke has penned it, and add to it the entire train of sacrifices his Epistles de velop e, truly a gigantic strength would seem to have been requisite'for. under going all that labor —all those suffer ings! But, behold, his body was feeble. “I can do all things through Christ PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 11, 1864. .which strengtheneth me,” (Phil. iv. 13.) , thiß precious truth more deep lytelt, it was to this end that he inher ited such weakness from his mother’s womb. By the power of Christ alone he would allow himself to bo borne, (2 Cor. iv. 10,) learnin t, us to express the mystery of his strength : “When I am weak, then am I strong," (2 Cor xn. 10.) ". v From the above-quoted taunt of his adversaries at Corinth, te his speech is contemptible," it would appear that the apostle had some defect in his tongue, which hindered him from becoming what the world calls a “good speaker and, indeed, he himself says : “ Though I be rude in speech, [literally, a lay-speaker,] yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things," (2 Cor. xi. 6) Strange! Paul no speaker.. And cer tainly Apollos better pleased the tick lish ears of the Corinthians; and the Athenians, whose ears wei|e still more spoiled, called him a “babbler,” (Acts xvii. 18,) enough to show that he had not the boßt natural organ of speech. A strong, and often violent struggle with language which he forces into the expression of divine thoughts, is his idiom. While “ casting down imagina tions, and every high thing that exalt eth itself against the knowledge of God,' and bringing into captivity every thought to tho obedience of Christ," (2 Cor. x. 5,) he could not bring to his aid the carnal weapons of a powerful organ, a modulation of ’ voice, or an imposing person. But what his all-prevailing weapon was, be tells us in 1 Cor. ii. 4; it consisted in “ demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” Not any “ excel lency of speech or of wisdom,” but solely the things he preached, the spirit in which he preached them, and the ful ness of life out of which he drew them : this was what attracted men’s hearts, and drew so many souls to Christ.. De mosthenes, the great orator of Greece, forced his heavy tongue, by persevering efforts, into suppleness and eloquence; but Paul, like Moses, “ of a slow tongue,” painted, in “ contemptible speech,” be fore all men’s eyes, Him who had “no form nor comeliness,” and yet was “ fairer than the children of men.” and “ full of grace in Ijis lips.” Tertullus, the Homan orator, (Acts ’xxiv. 1, &c.,) no doubt surpassed Paul in.rhetorical art, yet.how undauntly does tho apostle open his mouth before jewi’ and Gen tiles, high priests and kings, in his weakness, leaning upon Him who hath “ I will give you a mouth arid wis-' dom, which all your adversaries shall nbt be able to gainsay nor resist,” (Luke xxi. 15.) — Besser. Under this head, the London Record has the following notice of the recent consecration of Kev. Dr. Crowther to the bishopric of the native church on '* I the xvtgcr: ~ —~ It reminds us of the period when the African Church was presided over with singular wisdom arid fidelity by such men as Cyprian and Augustine, and of the noble army of confessors who en dured the bitterest persecution in its several dioceses with the heroism of faith. There is, indeed, a long and dis mal gap between those ages and the present, which tells of gradual apostacy and awful deeds of darkness; hut it is heedless to harrow our minds by drag ging them forth into the light of day at a time when .we are full of kppe and ex pectation foh the future. I'ri 5 the provi dence of God we seem approximating to that blessed era when Ethiopia shall stretch out. its: hands in ; supplication, and the swarthy races emerging from the captiyity of Satan, shall prove their title to be reckoned as of one blood with ourselves. Ho nations have suffered such,cr.uel wrongsfrom the human-fam ily as those who belong to tho negro type. Every man’s hand has been against them until recently, and their country has been desolated by sanguin ary wars and an atrocious traffic. Al though volumes have been written upon thO misery which slavery has occasion ed, wo doubt whether any one who has not been an eyewitness of its detestable inhumanities has any adequate idea of its curse. It sanctioned every wicked ness, however loathsome and revolting, and prevented the regeneration of the regions subject to its influence. Those who contend that civilization must pre cede Christianity before Heathendom can be subjugated to the mild yoke of the true faith, must remember that the aggravated agony of the negro races was inflicted and continued by the civil ized Powers of Europe, who regarded the black man as a degraded creature, who might be bought and sold as freely as a chattel. God, however, who maketh the wrath of man to praise. Him, has over-ruled this abhorrent practice for the furtherance of His glory. The founders of the Church Missionary Society were led to com mence their evangelistic labors among the liberated slaves at Sierra Leone, and notwithstanding all the difficulties and bereavements by which their faith was tried at the first, the work has been so graciously prospered that the native church there is now in a state of com plete efficiency, superintended by its own clergy, and actively engaged in prosecuting a distant mission. Dr. Crowther was one of the first fruits of the Society’s efforts at Sierra Leone, and, as a catechist, gave full proof of his fitness for the ministry. The' affecting details of his early life and subsequent labors are so well known that we need tfot recapitulate them ; suffice it to say that he was ordained by the lato Bishop of London, more than twenty years ago, and has discharged the responsible of fice of a minister with great assiduity and zeal, as well as undoubted piety. In his proposed diocese, churches have been formed and settled congregations fathered together by his influence, who Save manfully endured persecution m A NEGRO BISHOP. consequence of their religion. The chief of the district, on his dying bed, coin rounded his subjects to “suffer nothing to harm the Christians.” We might dwell on the practical refu tation afforded by Dr. Crowther’s merit ed elevation to the Episcopate to the taunts of Certain professors who main tained that the cerebal development of the negro shows that he is disqualified for intellectual pursuits, and that he cannot be lifted out from his con genial dullness; but we pass on to en treat the prayers of our readers for him and his diocese. He will need much wisdom, peculiar grace, and constant strength. Humanly* speaking, the fu ture of the native church depends on the manner in which its first Bishop shall administer its polity, and organize its laws. It will bio necessary for him also to exercise great discrimination in conferring holy orders to his brethren, and to take heed that he magnifies.-his office in the estimation of all by the ex emplary consistency of his life, and the holiness of his conversation. That he will do so, wo are assured by past expe rience ; but the slightest consideration proves how much; he needs to be sup ported by the the sympathy and prayers of the Church at home. TF. S.

Tms is sot true. The excellencies of the CABINET ORGANS which have given them their high reputation, arise not merely from the superiority of their workmanship, but also, in large measure, from essextui mtserescbs ei construction, which being patented bv us, cannot he imitated by other makers. Prom these arise thoir better quality and volume of tons, and capacity for ex pression. Every Cabixet Oboes has upon its name, board in full, the words, "MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN.” When a dealer represents any other instrument as a Cabinet Organ, it is usually a more attempt to Sell an inferior instrument on which he can make a larger Priees of SABK9M? $95 to $550.
