good pointed addresses, with occasional celebrations on suitable occasions. Here is a plan that promises great good. Se cure temperance principles in the minds of the young, and they will be likely to continue in these ways of wisdom. Two other matters of business were transacted by the Convention. The ap pointment of a Committee to prepare and ipsue an address to the People of the United States, and the adoption of a new National Temperance organization with State, county, and town auxiliaries. ijf mtr ©{fracas. San Francisco. —Rev. Dr. H. M. Scudder, whose acceptance of the call to the Howard Church in this city we have before noticed, has reached his field of labor, and become domiciliated in a parsonage provided and put in order by the congregation in anticipation of his arrival. - Dockland, Ohio.— Rev. John Hus sey resigned the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Lockland, on the 9th instant, a position which he has held for about seven years. The mem bership of the church has more than doubled during his pastorate, and the church was never more harmonious and prosperous than at present.— Ghristain Herald. H A Novelty.— A proposition is up that a photograph albnm be kept by the Synod of Wabash, to which each minis ter shall be invited to contribute a pho tograph of himself, and in which photo graphs of church edifices in connection with Syno'd, as far. as sent in, shall be inserted. An invitation is out that pho tographs be brought forward at the next meeting of the Synod. Home Missions at the Sooth.— The Home Missionary Committee have entered on the work assigned them by the Assembly, of preaching the Gospel among the freedmen at the. South, and sending missionaries into destitute and needy fields in what, during the rebel lion, were called “ border 'States,” like Tennessee and Missouri, with so innch zeal that the handsome balance which they reported to the Assembly is already exhausted, and yet the work is but just begun. So great was the expense of this new and special department of Home Missionary labors, that the As sembly recommended to the Committee to take up special collections for the purpose. We learn through the Evangelist that, instead of making such collections gene ral, the Committee have just issued an appeal, which which will be sent to a large number of benevolent persons in the churches, with a request that they will make a special contribution to thiß particular department of the work, over and above their annual contributions to Home Missions, which latter will be called for by their pastors at the usual time. We hope this appeal will be read and meet with a' ready response, and that the knowledge of the straightened resources of the treasury will inspire the churches, especially such as contributed nothing last year, to forward early and generous donations; which may be sent to Edward A. Lambert, Esq., 45 John Street, or 160 Nassau Street, New York. The “ Steuben Presbytery” Field. —Messrs. Editors: —Your Rochester correspondent, or rather corresponding editor, in his editorial peregrinations, seems never to have wandered as far South, in Western New York, as Steuben Presbytery, two railroads pass through its boundaries. The übiquitous gleanings of the editor from the field of his vision are so interesting to Western New Yorkers, that we should like, though a little on, to come sometimes within the range of his telescope. Will you, Mr. Editor, gratify our ambition to be known beyond our bounds by publishing a few facts which I send to you. The face of the country in Steuben county is greatly diversified by hills and vallies, “ rivers', woods, and plains ” The Erie, and the Rochester and Corning railroads pass through it. The writer became ac quained with the Presbytery of Steuben five years ago. It was then called Bath Presbytery. It was then in low condi tion, and talked of disbanding. But our Synod, upon application, annexed the important churches of Corning and Painted Post, and some others to our Presbytery, which gave us new strength and efficiency. The large and strong Presbyterian Church in Bath belongs to the other branch. Our important churches lie away from the centre. The church in Corning is our strongest church. It is making good progress under the leadership of Rev. W. A. Niles, who iB all nerve, body, and mind. He says to the church, work or die, and it works. Its neighbor, the church at Painted Post, has- been fettered with internal troubles; but the hatchet has been buried, and a call has been pre sented to Rev. Joel Wakeman, D.D., long the pastor of the church in Almond, with the promise of a liberal salary, and I understand that the call has been ac- cepted. The church in Prattsburgh retains its Congregational. form, and comprises a large number of .intelligent members; but its power is very much diminished by its lack of harmony among its members. The trouble is partly political and partly theological. It is ministered to by that veteran, Rev. D. D. Gregory, D.D., a brother of the noble general from you®. city. The church in Naples, with its long-tried pastor, Rev. M. Gelston, affords, an ex ample of stability and consequent pros perity worthy of imitation. Rev. S. Vorhis has just closed a pastorate of eight years in Hammondsport. He is a sound and stable man. A new academy has just been built in Hammondsport, and vineyards abound there. The church in Hornellsville, in West Steuben, with its working pastor, was unwisely set off to another Presbytery. It was the prin cipal church in West Steuben, and its influence was needed there. The other churches in that part of the county are Canisteo, Jasper, and Howard, minis tered to by Rev. Messrs. Laine, Raw son, and Bradbury, all~m a prospering condition. Rev. Mr. Harrington labors in Campbell. Rev. Mr. Sturgis in Ad dison. These are our principal churches in Steuben Presbytery. We have con siderable territory unoccupied by our Church, but not very promising. In closing, permit me to congratulate Ourselves on the fact that the orator for Boston on the fourth of July, was born and reared within our bounds. THE SLAVE IN THE CHARIOT. When the victorious’ Roman general rode in triumph to the Capitol, as he stood in his ivory ear, crowned with laurel, and decked in purple and gold, listening to the lo Triumphes of his proud soldiery and exultant fellow citizens, an iEthiop was behind him in the chariot. Not for the purpose of an ordinary domestic attendant, not as a mere appendage of luxury. Contemporary commentators agreed that the slave’s presence suggested an admonition to the imperator’s pride, though it was a Christian father who first gave defi nite expression to the warning, and put into the servant's mouth the words, “ Remember that thou art mortal! ” And we are.holding our triumph; the tri umph not of an individual but of a whole na tion ; the greatest triumph that the world ever saw. We have (reverently be it spoken) led captivity captive; we drag in our victo rious train a host of treasons and shams and abuses, cast down from their pride of place. Do not we too need a slave in our chariot ? The danger that our victory may intoxicate us lies not so much in its completeness— though that alone would be sufficient cause of much exultation —as in the fact of its being carried out amid almost universal incredulity and very general derision. It would be diffi cult, indeed,, to produce a case where so full a success was so little expected by those out side of the struggle. W e have no trustwor thy means of getting at the world’s public opinion in mediaeval, still less in ancient tunes, nor would it matter much if we could, for mutual ignorance and want of communi cation made international opinions then of small value. . In modern times we find no parallel. The. nearest approach to so general a mistake is that , made about Napoleon, when he had apparently swallowed the whole European continent, and men expected every day that he would dispose of the island which alone resisted him. But the anticipa tions of his final victory were less due to sympathy than to fear. Not so the compara tivefy palm judgment of the Old World against us. While our foes derided our at tempts to subjugate “ the nation which Davis had created,” our friends admitted that the war must sooner or later become one “ for boundary;” that we might check the progress of slavery, but could not recon quer all the revolted States. Even at home the bulk of our wealth and learning was not very hopeful, for in truth, as a mere matter of reason, the chances seemed against us. Meanwhile the mass of the people,'with a grand instinct of self-preservation, went on, blundering as they went, but still advancing. Homer compares one of his heroes on the battle-field to an ass, and the wise men of Europe regarded the persistence of the Ame rican people as an exhibition of donkeyism on the largest scale. Suddenly the forces of treason crumbled away, in a night as it were, and the republic stands triumphant at every point. The sayings of the schools are con victed of miserable inadequacy. 1 ‘ Democra cies are the most patriotic', aristocracies the wisest; autocracies the strongest”—so ran the formula. But Our democracy has shown itself by success to be wiser than the aris tocrats abroad, who swore it could never suc ceed, and ' the aristocrats at home, who. thought to conquer it; it has shown strength at least equal to that of any absolute mon arch. The one great anti-democratic influ ence in the country is overthrown by a purely popular movement. Slavery and treason have fallen together, because the people re solved to put really in practice the theory of their Government. A similar success on the part of an individual would be apt to inspire him with inordinate confidence. If, for in stance, he had persevered in a lawsuit not only contrary to the wishes and advice of his neighbors, but with small encouragement from his own counsel, he would naturally feel conceited, especially if it was won through some peculiar plan of his own. And is a whole nation more impervious to the seduc tions of victory ? Are we not tempted to go forth in the belief that our star can never again be dimmed, that democracy is impec cable, infallible,invincible? Of one thing we may be certain, that there will be no want of flatterers to tell us as much. Sensation editors, who have grown rich on every wickedness and weakness. of public or private development ; place-hunting politicians, who turned at the eleventh hour and would now hunt the master as eagerly as they once hunted down the slave —these and others will cry out —will? they have already begun to cry out —that we are to terrify ana instruct the world, that we have inaugurated new rules of government, of finance, perhaps of human nature. Now then is the time tor the slave in the chariot to speak. It is but few years since an imposing and overwhelming majority of the American peo ple placed in the Presidential chair a puppet, ajnan of straw, behind whom the chief trai tor, occupying exactly the place that gave him the best opportunity to work out his plans, filled the garrison with his cohorts, undermined the citadel, and laid the train. And all this was done for the sake of the Union! When all the Northern States but two voted for Franklin Pierce, they did so in the ftill conviction that to vote for the man who made Jefferson Davis his Secretary of War was the only way by which the Union could be preserved. Might not the European here exclaim, that the old rule was true after all ? Where was the wisdom of our democ racy then ? But this can never happen again. We have got rid of the' sole anomaly, the only disturbing force. No such “peculiar institution’ ’ can be founded again; no “ chi valry’ ’ of such a caste can ever spring up among us. The objection is plausible. We have so long been met and hampered at every turn by slavery, have so longbeenaceustomea to regard the negro question as the one mel ancholy obstacle in the way of political mil lenium, that with it all other ills seem to vanish. But let us consider more closely whether some elements of peril are not still left. For instance, there is the Church of Rome, which, having small tase for religious contro versy, we prefer to regard merely as a politi cal body. Is there nothing in its tenets, as THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1865. Observer. recently promulgated witli authority by its acknowledged head, which if practically car ried out would assail our civil liberties ? Have not its aggressions once , already pro voked a movement which, thinly disguised, as a crusade against foreigners, threatened to set the country on fire, and only yielded then to that great dragon of slavery which swal lowed up all the smaller serpents? Are we in no possible peril from the por tentous, irresponsible power of moneyed cor porations, which in its secret workings has been known to buy up whole legislatures and corrupt the political honesty of whole States ? Is there no danger that the spirit which dic tates the temperance legislation may lead to less defensible interferences with individual liberty by the majority? Is there no danger that, with our notorious tendency to extremes, we may, in our well founded dreadof “State Sovereignty,” rush into the opposite error of over-centralization, and place too much power at Washington, where before there was apt to be too little ? Will it be said that these are imaginary perils? So people spoke of the slave power’s encroachments; and when we recollect how, less than ten years ago, leading politicians declared that slavery was but an abstract question, we would not hastily despise or ridi cule the man who hinted at danger from the Mormons. It may still be objected, however, that none of these sources of uneasiness can be placed on a level with slavery, because none of them involves the institution of an aristo cratic caste._ What of that? All the expe rience of history goes to - shdw that an acci dental plutocracy may be one of the worst of tyrannies. Indeed, the slave-holding power itself more nearly resembled a plutocracy, or what the Greek writers called an. oligarchy, than an aristocracy proper. Thus far we have opened up only one branch of our subject. Direct dangers to liberty naturally occupy our first fears, but there are other grave mischiefs and obstacles to good government which demand our fore thought. Of all our popular tendencies, that which most excited the criticism of foreigners and the apprehension of our best citizens was the idea that our governmental machine was able to run of itself, and'required no men ot distinguished ability to conduct it. So gene ral was this belief, and so practically had it been carried out in our politics, that when, at last, we stumbled upon a great man in Abraham Lincoln, we positively did not know him to be such, and but for the startling termination oi his career might never have fully appreciated him to this day. The war, indeed, among its valuable lessons has shown the worse than uselessness of pop ular mediocrity in military affairs. _ Yet, blindly enough, our journalists persist in treating this great fact as if it were an excep tion to, no\ an illustration of, a rule; and though no valid reason can be assigned why special ability and training should not. be as requisite in a civil as in a military officer, they arbitrarily, place the two on a totally different footing. ... .For any one who has observed how this miserable mediocrity-worship gradually upset our public character till it earned a place in the trinity of political error along with shi very and State sovereignty, it is hard to pos sess his soul in patience long enough to argue - calmly with those who would still make of this fatal weakness a high and holy republi can virtue. It deprives the country of i the services of many of its valuable citizens. It "renders whole classes of educated and able men lukewarm, in their patriotism, so that some terrible crisis is needed to awaken their latent devotion. It gives our enemies abroad a real argument against our institutions," which our friends abroad oannot gainsay. Lastly, it opens a door to conspiracy, and af fords a constant temptation to the disaffected. Why did the first essays of treason in the old nullification times fall flat ? Because, when Jackson, Clay, and Webster united in oppo sition to any scheme, there was no more help or hope for it. : Even under Vanßuren sedi tion walked delicately and only exhibited itself hypothetically in fancy novels. It was the nullity of the political world that chiefly encouraged Davis to work out his audacious plan, ill ignorance of the great man that God was slowly and secretly raising up for us, in frill knowledge of the littleness that occu pied the chief seats in the land, he trusted to scatter the people as sheep without a shepherd. . After the dangers enumerated, it may seem as if to dwell on any others must be an anti climax and a descent into the bathos. Yet there are some errors, small in comparison, but positively important in themselves, into which the blunders Of foreigners and our su perior wisdom on the one great question ot our national existence are likely to lead us. It is a common and natural instance of hasty and imperfect generalization to con clude that those who are in error about some' important matter of dispute between us and them, must therefore be wrong in everything, so that their adoption or. approval of any opinion or practice is its necessary condemns,-' tion. The reductio ad absurdum is obyious enough when we bring down the principle to the ordinaiy incidents of life; when we ask, for example, if it is wrong to wear a shirt because the editor of the London 'limes wears one, or to eat our dinners because Messrs. Laird and Lindsay eat theirs; yet there is a tendency to. apply it just as irrelevantly. Thus, because all civilized nations have a cer tain standard of polite manners, self-respect, and personal honor, it is often implied, anc. more than implied, that social politeness is debasing to a freeman, and refusing to asso ciate with dishonest, untruthful, or other wise disreputable characters is aristocratic ex clusiveness. Sometimes this dread of foreign opinion actually leads us to adopt tbe ex ploded errors_ of foreigners because these are now in opposition to their more enlightened views. A passive ignorance, nay, an, active ignoring of the fundamental principles of po litical economy, is coming to -be deemed the duty of t?ue republican citizens. • Not many months ago there was heralded with great flourish of brass a plan for paying off our na tional debt by private subscription. Some approved and some. disapproved, but no one suggested the obvious “settler” that the idea was as old as the hills or the English debt, and that any standard foreign work on political economy mentioned it, with its refiitation, as part of the history of the science. And now, what is the practical conclusion from all these warnings? That we are to make ourselves miserable over the future ? Heaven forbid! We ought to be proud of our suc cess, and rejoice over it. If we did not—if pecuniary troubles, or the loss of dear friends, or that national loss of our great martyr, could quell our joy, it might well be feared that the spirit of the nation had been perma nently broken by the dangers through which it had passed, as a man’s hair is whitened or his mind enfeebled by a night of imminent peril. Therefore it is almost a Christian duty that the whole people should “rollick” to some extent. We would not be particular about a little good-humored brag. We would chaff our foreign ill-wishers to any amount. If that mythical “institution” of our boy hood, the leather medal, be not altogether a myth—if the secret of its composition be not lost along with that of the wooden nutmeg and other traditional manufactures, we would order a large supply of these coriace ous tokens and ship them to all our friends over the water. The slave did not bid the general descend from his triumphal car and go home in sackcloth and ashes. He only reminded him of his mortality. And this is what we are to remember. It is the prince of the powers of the air who tells us that we shall be like gods, knowing good and evil. We must remember that our Government, though the best, is not free from all imper fection or secure from all danger—that the voice of the people, while far above that of princes and potentates, is far below that of God. With this wholesome distrust in our selves, we. shall be more likely to fiilfill the duties which yet lie before us, whether to the ignorant freedman who has. walked in. dark ness till the daylight blinds him, to the scarcely less ignorant foreigner who falls out of the emigrant ship into the net of the dem agogue, to the deluded. poor white ot the South, so long fed on poison by his treacher °us rulers, or to the collective nations of the civilized world, who now look to us, the re cogmzed equal of their proudest, for lessons of liberty without license and energy tem pered by wisdom. —The Nation.
