THE DAILY BEAMING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 18G8. 6 THE UNION LEAGUE. IUE1K ADDRESS TO THE VOTERS OF THE STATE. The following 1b the address of the Union League of this city te the Totera of the State, which waa adopted at the meeting laat Sight: Fcllow cltlzccs Atratn you are called to trie polls to duli'ud the cause lor which, sluce 1800, you Lave shown your devotion in eo many You doubtless thought when the Rebels laid clown their nrms and acknowlodtred themselves vanquished, thnt the atrugizie was over, and that all for which you ba.I fought was secured. You may ask yourselves why, three yean af'tor b triumph eo complete, vour exertions are still necessary to settle the question which were apparently decided forever at Appouiatto Court-house; and perhaps you fee! dissatisfied that the counMy ha not subsided into the peaceful quiet to earnestly desired by all good citizens. It so, you have erred and still err, m regarding the Rebellion as merely the move ment of a few unquiet spirit, who male skilful u?e of slavery as the morns by which t J gratify the longings of personal ambition. The Rebelliou wits much more than this. It was the htrucsjle between two opposite systems of society. Ou the one hand were the traditions of feudalism, ot caste, ot class privilege., the repctiun nfraiiiHt modern thought and liberty, which for three eenerntions bad moulded every institution, and had (rained the people to oue unvarying course of thouflht. Ou the other ianil weie the expansion of proctreis, belief in the dignity of labor, faith in the liberty of thought In fine, the absolute ri.:ht of every man to rtusou lor hinisclt aod to carve out his own flest'mv. That systems so auMgonlsttc should, soQu'cr or later, measure their strength In deadly strife was inevitable. Human slavery was the raor-t prominent bul wark ot the Southern system, and it naturally became the ostensible cause ot struggle. Natu rally, also, it perished in the war Which It haJ provoked, because it was the most assailable mid least defensible portion of the system. When wo im'ikel the downfall of that great iniquity, we shouted that our work was done, lor we 'hud given too little thought to all that lay behind slavery, that hud fostered it, and had been fostered by it. Nor had we yet sounded to its utuioit depths the bascuoa ol that taction, falsely styling itself Democratic, which, crazed with the lust ot oflice, U ready to sell itself into bondage uenin to the masters whose rule iiad wrought such ruin to us all. No, our work is not yet done, nor will It be done until .Northern ideas shall have penetrated throughout the South, and society there shall have leeoustiucted iUelt on the bnsis of trno democracy. When Abraham Lincoln said that the Uuited States could not remain half slave jtiid half Iree, he pave utterance only to a por tion ot a pieat truth. Our country must be Loinozeueous One section of it cannot be iiri-aoenuic, nursiug sedulously the exploded notions ot class privileges, and persecuting men because they labor for their daily bread, or because they cntei tain Ideas repugnant to the dominant caste; while the other section honors labor and the laborer, admits of no distinction between citizens, and grams tnc lullest tolera tion to every shade of opinion on every subject. Vue sectiou cannot set up the sHute as tho sove reign object of if allegiance, while the other admits of no rival to the Uniou in its claims upon the citizen. Yet now, that slavery is legally dead, and ?ecesiou Pai been nominally xenou'ueed, these dillerences between the North and the South exist as sharply as ever. Until they shall be removed, political strife must con tinue as keen and eager us the strife lately hushed on the battle-lielJ. The result must necessarily b8 that either Northern ideiis must ronqm r the South, as Northern arms have already done, or that Southern ideas must ac complish what southern arm so miserably failed in attempting. Enclosed as we are between two oceins, oc cupiers lorever of the same land, this is the struggle which is ees beiore us. We cauuot shirk it. U p cannot slum the necessity wlllcll is upon us. We may seek in cowardly mood to shrink back from our appointed work, but we shall merely postpone the inevitable, aud pro long the labor aud suffering. It is only by pressiujr forward resolutely, hut prudently aud -wisely, to do that which Tiovidence has or dained us to do, that we can escape with the least amount of toil and loss. The burden of this work whieh He3 before V3 has bceu immeasurably increased by tho btdfish stolidity and short-sighted rccklcsiuesj ot the Democratic party, Even as in lsGO-Gl they invited their slaveuolding allies into ruinous rebellion, to now, in the hope of a temporary restoration to power, they are sedulously tirgli!? tho.-e same allies to resist afresh the inevitable course of events. For. petiul of the fearful record of the past, wil lullv disregarding the irresistible developments of the luture, they seek ou'.y to pauder to popular passion In the present, and rest their hopes of success solely on their skill to work vpon the meanest motives and prejudices of their dupes. We would not judge them harshly, for they re our lellow-couutrymcu. That the masses of the party are honestly wishing to do their duty we dare not doubt, but they have surrendered themselves to leaders who make sport ot their honor, aud 6ell them for the vilest price that ever lreemen were bargained for. Who is there so hardened that his cheek did not ttngle with huiue when he learned that General Forrest, of TennerseeM orrest the uf gro trader, Forrest the pueiilla, Forrest the butcher of Fort Pillow, was a Democratic delegate to a National Con vention assembled to frame a platform, and to select candidates for whom men of the North are expected to vote? Yet nbject as is thin deerudatlon, they succeeded in reaching a fur ther depth, for this same Forrest was able to boast publicly on his return that four-fltths ot the Northern Democrat! whom lie had met apologized to him lor having opposed the South in her rebellion. When the Democratic party thus entrusts Itself wholly to men who abjure their manhood, is it 10 be wondered at if thy adopt a Bt of principles dictated to them by Wa le Hampton, aud present for your suffrages men who are pledged to undo at far as possible all that the war has accomplished, eveu at the co: t ot another war? Or can we be surprised that the South, finding such facile allies, should etejerly reveit to its old ideas, and should strive to maue those ideas permanently triumphant as the guiding principles of the republic ? In this we do not blawe the bouth, for South ern men have been educated in the beliefs to which they cling, and they, ut least, are honest in their taiih. That they are struggling for an obsolete theory of society is their misiortune, and while duty to the country and to millions yet uuboru compels us to combat that theory as destructive to the well being ot us all, yet for the men who conscientiously uphold it we would personally entertain none but the kindest and most charitable tcling. It was the first act of the Government, alter the surrender of Lee and Johnson, to feed i he starving masses of the Southern people, and that much maligned institution, the Freed tueu's Bureau, has con sistently dispensed its bounty wilhout regard to the loyalty of the recipients'. We have always rejoiced in these facts, and it is our pride to think that in all the movements to relieve tho wants of the South, without distinction of race, color or political opinion, since the close of the war, the members of this league aud of the party which it represents have ever been fore, mod with active sympathy and substantial aid. Yet, while we would gladly assuage the calami ties wlilcli tl PV have bi ought upou themselves. we cannot but resist them to the death in their mad attempt to bring back a torgolteu past. Whether tbey are to succeed fu this will be determined at the November election. In as serting this we aie not theorizing, for the proof lies within the reach of every man who can note aud w tlu.U the events that are passing before his yes. As In wine there Is truth, so in the ex citement and enthusiasm ot the South at the surrender of the Democracy in New York, the restraint of the lust three years was swept away muQ the gladness ot anticipated triumph seeuiuj to nuder caution and reticeuce no longer neces sary. When Governor Wise, ut the Richmond ratificutlou meeting, ussy red his hearers that eeci'ssion was as much alive as ever, he only . tradeiy declared whut Witde Ilainptou, tUe dic tator of the DemocraMc platform, expressed more covertly at the Charleston meeting. In pledging bis sword onco more to his native State, and swearing that at her call he wauld hasten to aer rescue Irom tieflltrra08t bounds of the earth. Fresh trom the meeting of the 'Natloaal" Democracy, and planning a politic il campaign for the whole nation, he yet bad no thought tor the nation. Ills allegiance waa confined to the petty borders ot the sovereign State ol South Carolina. No, secession Is not yet dead, and the Memphis Appenl only gives form to the secret vows ot the Southern Demo crats when it bluntly declates that the South will yet be independent. If secession is thus still rampant, the other old hercsifs are not lees vigorous Tne spirit ot feudal oppression and cluss privilege, the con tempt for honest labor, and the determination to keep it in subjection, which formerly imul fKtcd themselves In slavchdldlng, were, when slavery was abolished, promptly rcasseried lu the black codes enacted throughout the South by Mr. Johnson's reconstructed Legislatures. Now that these hIso have been swept away, tho same spirit reveals itself in the schemes to con trol the neere vote, and to render him the Instrument ot his own disfranchisement. I'ublic spcakcrsopeuly ad vie combined action to throw out ol employment every man who does uot vote the Democratic ticket, and associations are springing up everywhere pledged to carry out this policy in an organized manner, It is fitting that men styling themselves Democrats should manifest such utter contempt for the first ele ment ot republican democracy. Nor Is the old luto'crume, which placed a padlock on the Hps of every man who did not think with the majority, one whit abated. Free thought aud free speech the vital breath of our institutions-are as obnoxious to the Southern, mind to-diy as when peaceful citizens were tarred and feathered for disbelieving in the Divine appointment ot chattel bondage. All who frankly accept the results of the war, all men, whether Northern or Southern, who honestly believe that the South can b) read justed to the necfsi'les of tho new era, are denounced as unfit for human compaclouship; they are to bo placed under the b in, and ex posed to ingenlcus persecution, until driven awoy la despair lom a community which Is obstinately determined to learn nothing; and to forget nothing. Still more poricnious is the undiminished vigor oJ the old spirit of lawlessness the spirit which taught that it was noble aud chivalric to defy tne law, and which ever sympathized with and protected the lawbreaker. The peculiar boast of modern Anglo-Saxon civilizatiou is the innate reverence lor the sanctity of law which enables vast communities to live with perfect satety to person and property, and without sub jection to the bayonet. It is this training which rangts every citizen iustinctively mraiust the law-breaker, and thus relieves us trom the ruin ous expense and demoialintiou of huge staud iijg ainiies, and in this training the South is un fortuimtely more dedcient than ever. Witness the hundred murders a month now occurring unpunished in Louisiana; witness the nine htm dred aud thirty-nine homicides which have been perpetrated in T'xas since the He Del lion-was suppressed, and lor which but one murderer has beeu haneed; witness tho burniug of negro . schools and the Ijuching ot negro teachers; witness the outrages of Ku-klux Klaus, eombln'ng every clement of srrotesque terocity. No one understood the power of this spirit better than (ieneral iilair, when, foreseeing that the bouth would coutrol the Democratic Convention, he bid for its sup port by pledging himelt to trample upon the laws of Congress, to coerce the Senate into sub mission, aud to disperse by force the recon structed governments of the Southern 8tate?. The artlul tuit was eagerly swallowed, and simultaneously every organ of Southern opinion appeals to force to carry the election, or upset the election in case of defeat. Every dislrancbised Rebel Is to vote, and it these ille gal votes are refused, the bayonet is invoked to compel their reception. Virginia is to vote, and Texas, and Mississippi, States not yet organized or recognized, aud the Senate is to be overawed Into counting tbeir ballots in the Electoral Col lege; while, if these hopeful schemes fail in winning success for their revolutionary candi dates, civil war is freely threatened us a last resmt. We have no fears I hat this antiquated system of lawlessness, of oppression, oi aristocracy, and of secession can wiuau ultimata nud per manent victory, for the spirit of the tine is aga'iist it, and sooner or later it must go down nud be buried with the kindred rtJics of now forgotten wrong aud error. Neither can we promise you that the success ot the Republican party nt the coming elections will at once ele vate' the South from darkness into light. We only know that, as sure as tberc . ls a God in heuveu, progress aud enlightenment aud free dom must triumph in the end. it rests with jou to say whether this triumph shall be speedy and peaceful, or whether the struggle shall be pro longed and arduous, leading to convulsions as fierce as those trom which we have just emerged. The alliance between the Demo cracy and reaction is so thorough and cordial that the nomination ot Seymour aud Blair i3 everywhere hailed at the South as the justification of the Kebel lien, and the bitterest Rebels openly declare tbut, in striving for the success of their candidates, they are but con tinuing the battU for the lost cause that they are fighting now for what they fousht for from 18G1 to 1806. Should they by any possibility of force or fraud carry the day, think what a dreary vista of auarchy and strife we shall have to traverse ere we cau restore the country to even the measure of peace which we now enjoy. Exhausted as we ore, and needing years of quiet industrv to make good the losses and the rava ges of war, four years of Democratic misrule under the guidance ot wuue iiampiou unu rsiair, would do moie for our prostration than was effected by tbe four years of the Rebellion. Nor can we Hatter ourselves that the cautious selfishness of an intriguing politician like Sey mour would arrest the madness of those to whom he would owe his election. They would be his masters, lor in times like thoe which would be upon us, negative natures must suc cumb to positive ones. We bhould see our destinies entrusted to such men as Wade Hampton in the War Department, and Raphael Semmes at the head ol our Navy. Should he falter in the work he would be made to feel that bis Bafety depended upon his obedience, aud if this were not euflicienr.the men who are already invoking the dagger of Hrutus and the shade of Wilkes Hooth would not scruple to remove him that they might obtain the services of tho reck less end unprincipled Blair. Whichever way we turn, fellow-citizens, we therefore see tbut our only hope of safety lies in electing Grant by such a majority as may show to Democrats and rebels that the Ameri can people intend to persevere in the path which they have entered; that neither threats nor blandishments will turn them from their duty, and that; they are irrevocably determined that the cause w hich led to the rebellion shull be toiever removed from the nation. These are the main issues awaiting your deci sion, but scarcely second to them in their iutlu tuce ou the well-being of the people are tho questions connected with our national huauces. Simple as the solution of these questions may be to commou-seuse honesty, it is in the power of demagogues so to complicate them, by tam pering with tho national credit, as to inflict in calculable injury n fell the industrial aud financial interests of the country. It is not on the bondholder that tho chlel loss would b) iniictcd, for the (Jovemmeut credit is so inex tricably intertwined in every transaction of daily life that every man is a creditor of the Government. Tlie poorest citizen, who bus nothing but his labor to sell, can receive in exchange for h's labor nothing but tokens of Coveinu.erit crc lit, and bis alt is depeudent on Its maintenance. Moreover, the ruin of that cretin would neces'aruy mus ormg aDout a paralyiis ruinous i. like to the farmer aud the mecbsnic, the merchant and the workingman; aud while nil would eiifl'er, that suffering would fall with peculiar hardship uoon the industrious poor, whose dady laboris their only piovision against want and starvaiou. Had it uot been lor the assaults already made upon the national credit, tho problem would alieady be neur its solution, for all that is re quirrd Is a rigid adherence to plighted faith. Let the wc rid once believe, that our promises to pay will be honored without reservation or equivocation, ard those promises will speedily become cquivuli-ut to gold iu the markets of tho world; and wljenguco that point n reached, the questions which now rack the brains of no lltleal financiers disappear ctthernselyc?. For tunately the uttcrtn jes of the Chicaao pi itlonn on this point are so clear and Unmistakable that tbe endorsement of that plntfortfl by thn people will at once smooth our path towards resump tion of speoie payments and the lightening ol the public burdens; while tho dubious aud threatening phrases of the Democra'io protes sion ot faith would render its triumph the source of the most disastrous complications, strange that the hard-raeney Democracy of Jackson and benton and 'Van Buren should now be conspiring to inflict upon us the unim aginable miseries of countless billions of hope lessly Irredeemable paper! Such, lellow-chizcns, aie the mighty Issues which you are now called upon to decide. As your votes are cast, so will bo tho future of our country. With Grant, you may enjoy peace, prosperity, and progress; with Seymour you can scarce hope to escape, anarchy, desula'.ion, aud endless years of strife. THE RELIGION OF JAPAN. Orljgla aaA Prog rate of Buddhism. Dr. D. B. Blmmons contributes an interesting article on the religion of Japan to the September number of Huura al Home. What U kuown as the "Shinto lulth" was the only religion or the Japanese for centuries. It was indigenous and pecaliar to the Japanese, and accounts in a metaphorical way for the creation of man and of the universe. The Shiatos do uot believe in a future state of eternal punishment, aud gene rally are' optimists. They believe in fcattina; .rather than in fasting; and their only serious religious observance is that of making pilgrim ates, Their temples ore always placed in tho Most attractive ftCC! P'.Ciuresquo spots, the ap proaches to which are tree-lined avenues, with impressive entrance gates. At the gteat religious festival uo Buddhist Is allowed to approach, except in tnc gmse or a layman, un tneir pil g. Images strict abstinence is observed from everything unclean or impure, but at the close ol these services they indulge in all manner of excesses. In the year 235 Wain, a disciple of Confucius, obtained permission to visit Jupaa, under pre text of seeking a remedy for a dUeasc under which the Chinese Kmperor was suffering, but really to escape from his tyranuy. He was well received at the Janauese Court, and taught the doctrines of Confucius so effectually that the Mikado became a convert, and his example was largely followed. Considerable tracts of laud were given as endowments lu vntljus parts of the empire, which were apportioned as 'liv ings" by members of the Mikado family. So scrupulous were they in the observance of the precepts of Confucius, that when the Mikado died, the two heirs to tbe throne, whose claims were bt, refused the succession, in obedience to the rule that when the right to a' thing or place is disputed each must refuse iu deference to the other. After three years of delay, one of tbe helis kindly terminated the controversy by committing suicide. The Shlutos, happy in the belief of their epicurean doctrines, made no violent opposition to those ot Coufucfus. The Imoduction of Buddoism was, however, attended w iih ditliCultrcs. Tlie-writer says: "The dijte-ut which tbii toott plae, and the attending circumstances of the event, wo find given with much precision and considerable detail iu the na'ional records. Iu 612 A. D., tho peninsula of Corea was visited by terrible famine. Iu tbe universal distress, the seed usually reserved for the ensuing crop was con sumed, and the land consequen'ly without means of reproducing the necessaries of lite. The Mikado hearing of this, sent to tbe Coreans several thousand bushels of wheat as seed. As an expression ot gratitude for this imperial munificence, the alllicted people sent an em-bat-sy to the Mikado, with the most, costly and precious relic their country possessed, viz., a golden image of Buddha, which had been oioughtfrom India, the birthplace of tbesacred person it represented. Accompanying them was a corps of missionaries and teachers, with books and all the paraphernalia ot Buddhistic worship. "Ko-re-tinna, of the thirty-second dynasty, was on Ike thione, and he ImmcJiutcly called a council of state to deliberate und decide upon tbe propriety of accepting so novel a return lor wneut. xneso deliberations amounted to this: It two such ancient und great nations as India and China have adopted the religion and worship of Buddha, is it not consistent for us to give the subject at least our earnest considera tion ? At the close ot the conference a division of opiniou was found to exist Inama aud Moria, the two principal ministers of his Majesty, taking opposite sides. An eurnest appeal from Moria iu lavor of their national religion and tho gross and wicked heresy of abandoning the creators of their country and progenitors of their race, carried the council, and inama was told taut if he wished to adopt the foreign faith he could do eo, but it could not beet rue the religion of the court or country. "Upon this he took the golden Buddha, built a temple, and placing it upou tbe altar,, instituted for the firt time idolatrous worship in Japan. Being a thorough convert to Buddhism, his zeal for lis establishment only increased with oppo sition. Having a great influence at court, he at once began to U6e it to strengthen his position and overthrow his opponent. Unscrupulous as to the means, be r;sorted at first to the dagger of the assassin, and lastly to the massacre of hun dreds who opposed his work of apostasy, amou hom was Mana. By these means, and Intrigues at rouit, he succeeded, alter several years of in cessant e trort, in placing on the throne a Mikado who bad been imbued with the Buddhist tailh. Tbe zeal of this Mikado was quite equal to that of Iuama's; but he soon abdicated the throne, took the priestly robes, and devoted his life, revenue, and influence to the buildiug up of the faith of his adoption. During hit reign, and through his labors, the number ot temple erected to the worship ol Buddha amounted to 10, the priests to 816. and the nuns to 5C'i. "This was the condition of Buddhism in Japan in 624 A. D,, or seventy-two yearj after the presentation ot the gotlsn Buddha by the Coreans. From that time forward the wor ship of the great mass of the Japanese may be considered as essentially Buddhist, nothing having arisen to check in any way its steady advance, until the country was discovered by the Portuguese, and the Jesuits and Franciscan monks entered upon their missionary labors in the year.1549." There are no other evidences that up to the time of Ihu immigration of the Portuguese there was anything; like a union between Church and State, which began in 1604 with ihe present dynasty of Tong eu-saraa. An Imperial edict was promulgated about this time, requiring every subject to register himself as a Buddhist. Especial elloris were made to crush out Roman Catholicism, but it is believed that there are large numbers to this day who cherish secretly the doctrines of that faith. For two hundred years Buddhism hBS msde no real progress. The Tycoon, ven, worsulp tho Shinto divinities. The priests are as a class, "Ignorant, bigoted, lazy, and licentious," aud come mainly irom the lower classes and from among those who seek the sacerdotal profession as an etcupe from the consequences of some crime. iThe mountain prtests are little more than beggars. Ihe Buddhist priests are not allowed to cat flesh or meat, and have generally a sickly appearance. The description wc have used concludes as follows: "The forms and ceremonies of Buddhistic wor ship as practised by the Ja:iiiee consist in the repetition of set forms of prayer, which, with their religious works aud liturgy, are written iu a strange language (Tali and Sanscrit); in pros tration before the image of their god-mau Buddha, towards which tbey bow tbeir head ou passing; in set sermons of exhortation to tbo people; in fasts, religious processions, and pil grimages; iu lelf-denial, mortification of the flesh, and external forms of purity, iu prayers for tbe dead and sale of merits. The temple worship is conducted bv several priests, who ofliciate in turn, or together. Tuey wear whito robes, with cold and silver trimmings, which aro charged frequently, and are assisted by small boys, alto robed, who tinkle bells at ccrtaiu points in the cereinouy. "Tbe congregation chant in unison with the priests the pravers ot the liturgy, keeping c unt on a rosary. The priesthood are bound to celi bacy, and the establishment of monasteries and mmutries are part of their woik. Many of tho priests are uaable to understand the prayers they repeat, or translate them lutu thtir owa language. Reverence for temples and til aces of worship ts i.ot apparently very stmu among the Japanese. The tenples cspeciailf are ol'en uscn as hotels by princes and then retinues, and' by foreigners whn travelling over portions of the country where the hotels are smull and In convenient. For tbo first three yesrs of our intercourse with tbe nation, our consuls and ministers rented temples as places of residence; and even now tie representatives of our Uo veiumeot lu YedJo occupy a Buddhist teuipie, fitted up for their accommodation." Honduras. Progress oftba Inaurrsctto In Olaaeho. The New York ierad'scorrespondent, writing from Truxillo, Honduras, C. A., July 27. says: The peace and tranquility that the public has brcu enjoy log for more than two years was somewhat unpleasantly disturbed ou the Oth of this month by an Insurrectionary movement lu the department of Olancho. Fortunately it proved a mere ripple a fretting of the surface that soon ceast d. To-day I fancy 1 can safely pronounce the waters once more calm and tranquil. On the night of the day just indi cated one Chlnchonero, an Impatient, reckless character, with a past career semi-political and seml-banditti.attackedthetownof Joticslpa.and after a short contest with the tew men on duty there, made himself master of tho place. His force was small, aliORCher not amounting to one hundred men. and was comnosed chiefly of lawless men from the Department of Teguci galpa. Lieutenant-Colonel Nnzsrio Garay, tbe Government's I'rc'ccto, Is reported to have been Killed oy the band, as a'so three other person", one a civilian. On Jul? 18 Juileln:i was re. occopied by the national authorities, the Gov ernor of the UcpmmcDt, General Fernandez, entering the place at tbe head ot six hundred men. mostly of the volunteer militia. Chinclio nero and his followers very prudently left oetoro tnese troops arrived. An active pursuit has been undertaken, and strong hopes are euteitaintd that a portion at lean, of these perturbators ot tbe republic's peace will be overtaken and duly punished. They are said to have scattered in mauy directions, tbe baud having divided into a doiteu or more groups, each going its own way. This reudcrs pursuit much more diflicult, but it is to be hoped not Impossible of bucccss. The movement of Chin chonero was an isolated one, since nowhere has it received a response. Tbe taking of Juticalpa is everywhere severely denounced as an act of vandalism entirely below the dignity ot a politi cal covp tie main. Any amouut of volunteers could at once have beeu obtained for its suppres sion. In the border town of Yoro, of this department (Yoro also by name), ninety men Immediately yoluntetred to aid the authorities, but their services were declined, as they were not needed Witchcraft. From the Edinburgh Heview. At the end of nearly three centuries we find ourselves relieved of a heavy burden of fear nud care about the perpetual and unbounded malice ot Salau and bis agents. Witchcraft has ceased to be one of the gravest curses of the human lot. We hsveparted with one after another of the fet ish or conjectural persuasions about our relatious with the world ot spirit or mind, regarded as in direct opposition to tho world ot mutter. By a succession of discoveries we have been lei to an essentially different view of lite aud thought Irom any dreamed of before the new birth of science; and at this day, and in our own me tropolis, we have Sir Henry Holland telling us how certain treatment of this or that depart ment ot the nervous system will generate this or that state of belief and experience, as well as sensation. We have Dr. Carpenter dis closing facts of incalculable significance about brain action-without consclousoess, and other vital mystenes. We have Dr. Maudsley show ing, in the cells of the lunatic asylum, not only the very realm of Satan, as our fathers would have thought, but the discovery that it Is not Satan, alter all, that makes the havoc, but our own ignorance which has seduced us into a blasphemous superstition, instead of iuciting us to tbe rtudy ol ourselves. Aud lUeso Hie not all our teachers. Amidst the conflict of phenomena of tbe human mind aud body, we have arrived now at the express controversy of Pychology against Physiology. Beyond the mere state ment of the fact we have scarcely advanced a step. The first can n A be, with any accuracy, called a science at all. and the other is in little. more than a rudimentary state; but it is no small gain to nave arrived at some conception of the natnre of the problem set before us, and at some liberty of hy pothesis as to Its conditions. In brief, and in the plainest terms, whilo there is still a multitude deluding and disporting it-elf wnn a laise nypotnests auout certain mysteriej of the human mind, aud claiming to have ex plained the marvels ot spiritualism bv makinir an objective world of their own subjective ex perience, inu sciunuoc pnysioiogisis are pro ceeding, by observation and experiment, to penetrate mora ami more the secrets ol our In tellcctual and moral law.
