BALT:I'- WIN. On FridaY'oflait iveek, the 7th inst. after a rapid and' painifutilifiess, he took his departure from the scene of his .many and honorable labors and services here, to higher duty and to better rewar4s above. Mr. Baldwin has been in so Many ways identified with business, with practical science, with railroad machinery in its Sate onward strides of improvement with the fine arts and the public charities . Philadelphia; his name and his suppot have been so. inwoven with the prosperity of our denomination in this city, .that ce despair of • !king justice to his memory in the limits - of a• newspaper article. For thirty years past he has been prominent in almost all of these relations. As a machinist, he, is remarkable for a career commencing in, the humble begin T sing of an obscure jeweller's shop, and landing him at the very height of the mos_ difficult, important and extensive of all branches,. locomotive building. • Frani a mall shop of which hi was, we believe, the sole occupant; 'he Warne the *head an establishment employing one tlidusand hands. From the construction 'of a toy locomotive, which thirty or more years ago ran upon a miniature railroad in a pleasure garden, he be9aiAe the,,hipder pf ponderctus engines, whose nighty, trisad : has ;,made the soil of three continents.tremblei And;not a whit less conscientious- that' ..skilful :his work has everywhere given .the highest satisfaction' for the important 'purposes for which it was designed.* Connected so closely with the interests of labor and the laboring classes, Mr. Bald-, Nrin has ever taken the Christian view of this great subject. '' wealth never cor rupted his simple tastes or his dear views and upright judgments upon the rights . ot man. He never despised labor, but had his own tools and work-bench to the last. He was an ardent advocate of emancipation long years before it came, and an unswerv ing, friend of the colored race. None en tered more fervently into the merits of the late struggle, or more unqualifiedly com mitted himself to the great issues at stake: To be called a radical, would not have given the slightest twinge to the most sen sitive of his nerves. He was ready for :the most advanced measures, of the loyal party long before they were,adopted as such. One of his last public acts was to preside at a meeting for the public reception of the brave Robert Small, who carried 'away the little steamer Planter so heroically' from Charleston Harbor during the war. He . took a deep interest in his story , and intro- dneed him as " one worthy to be made an Admiral." In the days, when Mr. Barnes plead almost alone for the slave,. one mem ber of his congregation• was sure to uphold and sympathise with..him—it was Mrl Baldwin, Benevolence amounting to mnnificence; was a prevailing 'oharaoteriStic of Mr. Baldwin's nature. The witnesses to this trait are at least as numerous as those .. to his mechanical skill. If he was the, prince of Philadelphia machinists, he was the prince of Philadelphia givers. There is, perhaps, not a deserving charity of a' City, State, or National character .that has not reaped largely of 'his -beneficence. In our On Church, especially in this city, he has long been looked up to, as carrying 'the tallest purse with the most open hand. He has been the' grand example . to all our wealthy men of how, to give.. He has stirred up, we believe, a noble interest and emulation in the Gospel grace of giving. There has been no enterprise in, need, no church sinking ;under a load of indebted- * A stationary steam engine of eight or ten horse power, constructed by Mr., Baldwin's °lva hands in 1880,, is still doing service in his works, and ia a model of compactness and skill even to-day : .

Among Christian people, whatever exception is taken to this view of the ease, comes from societies who make no aecoun , of studious preparationier ministerial duties, and• who do riot expect.ministers to isolate theroselves from secular employments as-a means of living. The SOciety of 'Friends, for example—a p eo p le who have many . points of sterling worth--more unfortu nately for themselves than for any one else, sriginated the epithet of " hireling priests," meaning by it to scandalize: the receivin: . of worldly compensation in ..,'return-.for preaching the - Gospel. We say unfortu nately for theriaselves, for lie think the history of ' their' Sbaiety proves' it. Some of their own writers, searching 'the eariseS sex the decline of QuakerisM, find one =Tie sf it in . the 'fact that, under, the. present eircumetanoes of.

Other Christian denoinina: tiolis who set out with holding in contemp , human learning as a qnalification for 'the :tiered work, and who assumed a willing ness to take up With the minimum Hof worldly ,:tipport to be the mark of, the trnest- holi ness, have found themselves forced inp the march of improvement. To save their enotninations; to save even the youth ;c, heir own families to their 'own churches, they have been compelled to' abandon the sractice 'of lifting a "'man in one day from the mCiirner'S' betieh to the pulpit, to raise the standard "Ctf, literary qualifications, and, as a necessary , consequence,. to make the corresponding change in. ministerial com 7 I .eneation. eavit , agiinst the minisiry as a neer': enikor t ,picifession, is now 'seldom:Linde bx y 'Society: chietl: , tweed over to wh ere alone ii ought-ever to aye 'eenapainy' ciwieli togean4alize religion itself and'ata V. 4.4 Tcy Finn , Ili, dt . .y'~~~,3 EMMUNI tempt_ to, cast stiglnn Ron its,, ministers is only . 4,l:gems ito an end .

Ministers, as a class;'donotpreach or pay. We have spoken of the epithet "hireling nriests,!' as havinc , so far as we are aware, originated; with the. Society o Mends. It So, happens that., they, in ono Of their well-known rules, have given a good practical exposition of the true ground upon which the claim of the ininistry, to a good temporal, support is: based. ;'`They have a role, Or, if not a written law of the SOciety,„it is, a custom,-which has obtained all the foree of ,law, : to. this. effect: that • hen any ministerof the Society has a Di .ine call or " concern" pointing to some specific religious , aervice'which involves ex pense, such; for example, as' going abroad, and When then:meting, iasatisfied thatthe call is real, then, if hia or cirounistanCes are such as to require it, the expense is to he borne by the . Society. The plain meaning isthis: while fulfilling the Divine call,the temporal,wants, of the person fulfilling, are to be provided: ;for. , We believe :tha, each meeting 'has its - chest where depolsita are made for thati purpose; in& that it is common for griends whiParebrOught by ´ to - visit it; to upon' that treadry'.

Happy in an act of fraternal sympathy toward persecnt -a. and deseriing men, our people were equally inspired with a deep sense of the .01enin justice of their cause, with burning 'indignation at the efforts of false and Aced men in power to crush them, and confidence in the speedy and complete ,1 of the right.

Old men, inuampaigners declared that all their experience of popular enthusiasm ;lipsed by the display of that even ing. It was an ovation tolhe loyal South; an aot of homage to Patriotism where pa triotism had cost something; a solemn t iled& of fidelity to men whom the Presi- ent putting under the power of their -nd our , bitterest foes. It was the honest enction -of the popular heart from the ..urders of Memphis and New Orleans_ It was the opening notes of that grand Chorus of Niiithern sentiment, that, like the voice of many waters, and like mighty thunders, will roll and echo from State to State, i nntil the most stubborn adders shall hear .c.ecl be convinced of its unalterable tone and its invincible might. Philadelphia offered no violence or insult the Convention of August 14th. It tinkered the rebel delegates and their North ern allies to meet and deliberate in peace. tolerated in ntter silence proceedings designed to give popular approval to the ..ii ? y . of yielding'the control of the South ern States, and of. the nation itself, to the defeated rebels of the South, and of tramp ling under foot, by intrigues and by pat. ronage, the loyal men, of both sections ..hite and * black, whose cause has just triumphed: in battle. Philadelphia lOoked on coldly, and ab stained from all official demonstration, when the guilty author of this retrogressive reve -1 ration passed through her streets. In each of these oases she acted with a cold pro triety, far more significant than any violent or revengeful demonstration could have been. But she showed plainly that her heart was not with the caupe represented 'n these demonstrations. Coming as they did just before the Loyalists' Convention, they furnished the best possible illustra tion, by contrast, of the true sympathies of our People. Having escaped from an atmosphere of constraint' and repression, with so much the • more enthusiasm they bounded forth to greet those who, as personal sufferers .nd as worthy representatives of the loyal cause, had their hearts; and mayor and &Tamils and wards, and leagues and clubs, :7':d societies and fire oompanies, and my lids of citizensi crowded unparalleled I onora on their heads. 'By this marked difference in the attitude of our potiple, one sentiment was meant to •e expressed, perhaps, more than any thqr, namely that , loyalty to government ia prime qualification for , participating in a government or. for receiving its favor, and that nothing can be more monstrous 4= for impenitent, malignant and con quered rebels to be put in greater power ;ver loyal' men even than they held before the rebellion. This is the sentiment which we *neve to prevail all over the loyal North. This is the plain, self-evident th . which we believe is so firmly fixed in the minds of the people, that no amount of :ophistry or of corruption through official atronage can dim its clearness, or weakenr force. The•issue is too plain to be con used, too , manifestly vital to the national onhr 'and safety to fail in the 'pending 'eOntest. And one of its legitimate 'results t iiit be ':eiVial-sitfriage to ihO &admen. LEITERS MOM - NAL; and from Ms. Rut-- orm bOrfonnd thorkside. t'V LOYALISTS.
