if tho design of tho bill was to make

at the session of the

it to bo tho duty of Christians to sup-

The church South took oven a moro
outspnkon position in favor of seces

tho advocacy of tho Union. In 1861
the Synods of most of the Southern
States passed resolutions justifying
secession, and tboseof North and South

The Stalwarts' Blunder. Tho
Boston Globe says : It was a mistake,
and a fatal ono, on tho part ot the Re
publican managers, to permit this issue
to be made so definitely. For on no
occasion whon it has been brought
into politics for poaccablo settlement
by tno pooplo has tho fundamental
Amorican idea of local self-government
failed to carry the day. This
idea is essential to our systom. With
out it tho Amoricnn Republic would
soon sink into tho rank of dosnotism
to which it was almost reduced under
the bayonet rulo of tbo Grant admin
Istration.
The well-informed Washington cor
respondent of The. World says id the

which loreshadow an attempt at rev

moans a stronger Executive Govern

thut tho Suilo Governments of tbo

instead ot a fedoration of co-equul btates
this is to become a nation ot provinces
mmleled more unon tho fushion of
imperial Jtomo than upon the modern
fushion of tho Confederate America of
