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.

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

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.

“This little book belongs to that* class which, for'the
sake of our youth and the supply of- the right soft of
books for Sunday schools, we desire to see greatly
multiplied. Many thrilling scenes, including the “ Mas*,
sacre of St. Bartholomew?* instances of patient endu
rance, even to martyrdom, and stories of want and
exile welcomed for the lore Of 1 Christ, lend a more than
fictitious charm to these pages. As Presbyterians, we,
feel a special interest in the lives and characters of
these Huguenots who illustrated so well our ancestral
faith*— Bwmgdist

CABINET ORGANS
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS,
The :ride demand for our CABINET ORGANS has
induced dealers in some cases to advertise quite differ-
ent instruments as CABINET ORGANS, anctiu others
to represent to purchasers that harmoniums and other
reed organs are the same thing. 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
