GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION.
A REVIVAL OF QUAKER BURNING PURITAN-
ISM-THE PIOUS CONCLAVK AT

To traco the riso and progroim of
.ttmo-lo exh.b.t tho folltc. i2..;r.i. .1...1V I ti
cttioe. of funutics wo Iiuvo ntillar
limo, space nor inclination now; but
to rofcuo from purtly forgotten ob
livion llio infamous Joodu of the Eng
lish radicals, in iho times of Charles
and llio Cromwclls, and to contrast
thoin with their lincul descendants,
the prcsont radicals, and to further
illubtrate the character and unleco
donts of the very pious gentlemen
who it would seem have succeeded in
entirely reforming thoir own natures,
and are now engaged in christianiz
ing tho Constitution of tho United
Slates, we will avoid ull mists and fan
cies of fabulirits, nnd confine ourself to
pure, undefiled and naked truth.
The rondcr of history will recollect
that soon niter tho revolution in Ger
many, called tho "Reformation" by
thnso who huvo bcon taught from their
earliest infancy to halo tho Seo of
Rome, together with "all and singti
lar" (as the layers say), its rites and
observances, there rose np in England,
from tho very slums of its populution,
a mixed and nnHy sect of crrorists
culled Puritans, Lccauso they claimed
to bo tho only par cxctllence, tho an
ointed Saints of tho Lord, and thul in
their ptiro and precious cnrcitSNPs was
deposited nil tho cleanliness of piety
and principle in tho world. It will
strike so mo as strange, yet it is nov
ortheless trno, that the spread of their
disenso of tho mind was enn lined al
most exclusively to tho defendants of
the drunkards, thieves, robbers and!
pirates of Scotland, Anglnml nnd Sux
ony, who somo centuries bcloro had
without provocation, invaded tlio
island of Britain, mid dexpoilcd and
robbed the iuoffeiisivo people there of
llioir lands. Those invaders were Iho
descendants of iho Gothsand Vnnduls
of antiquity. It is duo to tho belter
class of Engenders, to say thai they
were not uflliclcd with (his foul dis
ease. Following the flickering light
of iheir own illumined will, us their
only guide to holiness, nnd disregard
imr nil ecclesiaslicul authority, they
withdrew from tho church of England,
r - -
and organized themselves into u laud
of independent pietists. I
The cnily German reformers con j
tended that Sunday should bo observ
ed as it ulways had been in tho cluis
liun church, as a day of rest and re
creuliun, but llieso intensely holy,
clarified, scoured, bleached, Simon-
pure, reformed reformers, taught that
that blessed day of rest must bo kept
as the uuuient Jews are ptesumcd to
have kopt their Sundays. In fact,
they were so seemingly sanclimonious
that they Ivied to cuforco a cessuliun
of the laws of naluro on Sunday.
Mutter Barnaby, in this form gives a
pleasing illustration of. their mislcro
shallowness, which somo great painter
has immortalized !

England, till at hist tho entire country
was more or loss under its bad infill
crtco ; and in iinilulion of fanaticism
everywhere, it assumed a political
complexion. Shrewd, calculating detn
ugogucs disappointed office-seeker
and ambitious upstarts joined tho
party, as mch creatures always do, in
all countries, using llio particular
jiliasu of fanaticism, for iho timu pop
ular, as a lever for their own advance
ment. And liicn the moht profligate
wretchei and villuus put on the hypo
critical garb ond air of Puritans, under

selfi.-h and bad purposes.

It is not possiblo for a Puritan to
li vo without hating something or
somebody. Puritanism and halrod
are synonymous totnis. No sooner
had tho Puritans secured a footing on
tlio Llenk and rocky coast of Massu-
chusoll, Ihan they fulminatod tho

notwithstanding there wcro none of

tho yearning of tha human heart fur
fixed days of recreation and pleasure,
and tho gnawings of their ;ie lirilic
maws, conceived the plun of conse
crating an illegitimate shadow of
Christinas, and therefore they estab
lished an animal carnival for gluttons,
and called il Thanksgiving d.iy. God,
forgive- them I Sacred lo sectarians,
for ihat one day they gormandized on
fat turkey, plump pullets, clam slows,
sweet cider and pumpkin pies. Church
edifices wore of course to bo no moro

liko hen coops, wcro put up in thuir
places, in which Ihe failhlul grunted
and groaned und slobbered to their

reprobating anything liko religion,

were forbidden nnd tlio bu.-s viol and

nasal-twanged paulmody was the only
music, sacred or secular, tolerated by

A Farmer ia Trouble.
Philosophsr Groeley, as our readers,
ull know, besides being a good editor
is also a farmer. A fow years ago ho
published a book, entitled "What I
know about Farming." Tho work;
hud nn extensivo sale, bul when pran
licully tested by old fanner.', it wits,
found that Mr. Greeley's theory was,
fuully in many particulars.
Ho is now uhotit to substitute ft,
now edition oi his book, omitting tho.
olijeelionablo mutter, and is corre
sponding wilh eminent farmers, doc
tors and lawyers throughout tno;
country for pruutictd information, as
witness the folluwing :
A littlo over two years ago, he
learned from somo soirrco that cow-
cumbers grow on trees in Jefferson und
Clarion counties, in iliisSialo. Doeai
ing this a decided improvement on tho
old plan of producing and cheapening
this vegetable, ho at ont o ordered fivo
hundred trees from the fotvsU of thoso
counties, which ho planted on bis own
farm (not in tlio Tribune ollice). His
experience in raising cotccumbers will
bo given in tho new edition of his
work.
Again, a few j-cars ago ho pussc'l
over the East Furinylvuuia railroad,
and when near Allentown, a boy cn-y
tered Iho car and offered siM for sale.
Tho hoy informed him of thoir general
utility in tho way of cheapening pro
visions. By culing them for break
fust und drinking a pint of wertn
venter fur dinner, a man could do with,
out his supper; and thereforo ro
cents' worth of suits would ho tho ex
penso of u dny 'a board. Mr. Greeley
ut once oidrrcd 515 worth, which ho
planted tlio past season. It hits been
hinted lliut tho investment 1'J ik(
pay, nnd il is understood tlnit hu will
s in to in his book that tho latitude cf
New York is too cold and damp to
raise them successfully, and that ho
has secured a personal friend, resid
ing in Florida, to tiy and raise lheti
tho coming season in that Stale.
He has lutc'y learned that 'i,!;:'U
nre a cheap family food, and could be
eaten without being cooked, thus sav
ing fuel, and understanding that thuy
were a native product ofli'.uding, Pu.,
ho litis ordered u tan for plftnling oti
his farm this season, expecting torn is a

In the culinary department he is
