teaph his ohild to respect the magistracy, not to abuse nor villify them. Why you may see little urchins,-eight or ten years of age, run ning about .your streets—oftentimes in rags and filth, at other .times clad fn the habili ments of gentlemen's sons—reviling your Pres ident, denouncing your Governors, and ridi culing your laws. Has such a child been brought up “ in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?” Has he been trained in accor dance with the principles of the gospel ? No. But if our institutions are to be kept from peril, the parent or the guardian, the father and the mother mußt instruct their children in the principles of the Bible—honor, integrity, patriotism —love of country and love of the race. Ho not set your children an evil exam ple; do not inflame them with passion, and darken their minds with prejudice; do not bring them up to hate their fellows ; but sub ject them to the blessed influences of this gos pel. . It is only necessary that we follow the in structions of the Bible. As I believe in the existence of a God, I believe that this hook — whatever it may be to other people and other nations—l believe that this open, free, un trammeled Bible is, as I have said, the sheet anchor of my blessed country. I have no other panacea to present. Again, we have the duties of master and servant clearly set forth. “ Servants be obe dient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sin gleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye-service,as men pleasera, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men ; knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doetb, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And ye masters, do the same unto them, for bearing threatening ; knowing that your Mas ter'also is in Heaven ; neither is the respect of persons with Him.” This is the teaching of the Holy Ghost, remember. There is no state in this nation, there is no county in this nation, there is no tow’Q in this nation, there is no township in this nation, where I would not stand up as God Almightv's minister, and preach these doctrines of llis Gospel, whether men would hear or forbear. I would preach the duties of the master, just as I would those of the parent, or the husband or the wife. I would say, “ Sir, you are bound by the God who made you to treat that servant kindly and honorably, and pr ,vide faithfully for his needs.” The master is bound by the very same Gospel that binds the servant. I do not go into the question as to the legal ity, the moral right, the religious right of these relations. 1 say these .things are here; these things existed in the days of Jesus Christ.— Whatever is wrong tins Gospel will correct. If we carry out its doctrines we shall have peace. Are we all conscientiously impressed with this sacred obligation to obey the Constitution and the laws ? We must remember that if we disregard this obligation, we become guilty before God and man. If any citizen directly or indirectly violates the Constitution and the laws, whether by his own act or by abetting others, he is in such proportion destroying his title to good citizenship, and he is a perjured man. Wlfat man in this house to day, what man belonging to these United States, (and may the time nevqr c-me when any mortal on the footstool of jJod Almighty shall be able to say anything else than (hr.se United States*) —what man in this nation, whether he be a native or an adopted citizen, is willing to seethe Union dissolved ? You may say there is no danger. 1 tell you, my brethren, tlninris danger unless our people come up to the great duty of obey ing God, of “ rendering unto Caesar the things that are C;usar-s ” —unless our pulpits cease their clamor against the Constitution and the laws—unless the ministers of God regard their obligations and teach the people their duty of fidelity to Ca'sar and fidelity to God—unless men cease preaching from the altar that it is better to put into a man’s hand a rifle, a death weapon, rather than a mother’s Bible—unless we cease the agit.at-mn and abuse that arrays State against State—unless we abandon all sec tionalism, and resolve that we will adhere to the Constitution and the laws, reforming that Constitution and tho>e laws, when necessary, by legitimate and orderly methods. If we move on in this way, our Republic will remai'n. If there is any man who wuuTd’like to see this nation severed, who would tear into fragments that banner of stripes and stars, and pluck the feathers from the proud eagle of my country, let him fall crushed and mangled be fore a gazing, a laughing, a blaspheming world of crowns and despotic sceptres. I say to-day, before the Eternal I AM, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, (and if I were on the banks of the Potomac, standing by that vault at Mt. Vernon, I would say it over the sacred dust of the immortal Washington,) the man thatwould labor or wish for the dissolution of the Amer ican Union, lefTiim b a anathema maran atha ! ST.

There are in St. Louis 331 Smiths, of whom 27 are John Smiths.

A young and beautiful woman, named Miss Helen Dresser, who escapod from Utah about two years ago, has traveled within tho past ten months 11,000 miles; written a hook of 400 pages and six lectures, which she has read to over 200 audiences throughout the country. She is a Mis souri girl. V> here is there a feminine that can beat it ? It is said that a Mr. Well, of New Orleans, has just returned home from England, where ho disposed of a patent for fish-hooks, of his own inventiou, for $25,000 ! It is estimated that between two and three miilion dollars are invested in-tho manufacture of carriages, in 'the City of Cincinnati. * The tdwardsville, Ills., Press says there has been issued by the Couuty Clerk, since the Ist of January last 217 marriage licenses. At a meeting of the Shawnee Indian Council, it was ascertained that their safe had been broken in and robbed of its contents. It seom3 that the Council meets monthly at Donaldson’s, a few miles from Wosport, where they keep their orphan funds. The amount in the safe was between $O,OOO and s7,ooo—all in gold, andou moating last Mon day it was found to have been stolen. The robber is not known, hut there are somostrongsuspicious. A mau that would steal from orphan Indians, is mean enough to do anything, and if detected ho ought to be scalped and tomahawked. Stealing horses has almost becomo a trade In the coun. ties along tho Missouri river. Nearly every paper from that region apprises us of horse-stealing. Mr. John Chil ton Io«t three rnules and one horse In a single night.

Pa., last week, and sorted for Kansas. The parents oftbeee boys pursued them, and when overtaken near the border line, dirks and pistols were found on them, which they had prepared for “Kansas work.” We have a few land sales to report this week. Owing to the financial pressure, which la jost now prevailing, very little money is being invested in lands. Those having the oash and wanting land, never will have a better opportu nity for investment. Land can now be bought cheap far cash. The following (iwles were made near Lexington, Lafayette county, in this State: Joseph Greer sold 120 acres of land In section 35, town ship 51. range 26, to John Greer, for $2,400. John A. Alford sold 526 acres of land lying in Lafayette and Johnson counties, to Henry C. Armstrong, for s«wj. Anthony P. Logan sold 30 acres of land in section 31. township 61. range 26, to Andrew J.

Tevis sold, a few days ago. her farm, ten miles from Richmond, on the Pooaey Rldgo, containing two hundred and eighty-five acres, to Mr. Nathan Gentry, at thirty-five dollars per acre. The farm is broken but rich and productive. We have received some further returns from -Louisiana* and they indicate the election of the whqto* Democratic ticket—Governor and all, by from 7000 to 10.000 majority- The Democratic majority in the State Senate will be 8. and in the House 25, insuring the election of a United States Senator. It is more than probable that Senator Slidell will be re-elected. Louisiana has heretofore been considered one of the donbtful States, but hereafter she will rank as one of the certain Democratic strongholds. The Wood County (Ills.) Reporter , a very Black Abolition paper, ruises the names of Gen. Cameron, of Pa., and Abe. Lincoln, of Ills., for President and Vice President in 1860- Democratic meetings have been held in twenty-six coun ties in Kentucky, and fourteen have instructed for Mr. Guthrie, for the Presidency and twelve have left their delegates nninutructed. The friends of Mr. Guthrie wifi present a strong front in the Charleston Convention. From all that wo have heard, and with whom we have conversed in regard to the Charleston Convention we have thefirst Democrat to meet who willbppose the nomination. It is true, each one has his “ first choice,” and will do all in his power to have him nominated, but failing in that, 'all will rally, as in days of yore, around the standard bearer of the Democratic party, and who is to lead the gallant band to victory in the groat struggle of 1860. Wo see that the Black Republican papers throughout the country, are classing Mr. Morris, Anti-Lecompton Democrat, from Illinois, as a Black Republican. The Springfield, Ilia., Journal (Black Republican) says iu regard to Mr. Morris : “ Tht-ro is about as much prospect of his voting with them, despite all the hard things he has said against the Administration, a.i there is of the Republicans voting f->ra National Democrat, and not a whit more. We venture to say that the uuti-LecomptoQ Democrats belonging to the Illinois delegation will be the very foremost ones in mak iug their peace with the party, and thereby securing their seats in the Congressional Democratic Caucus. Dr. G. II Willing, intends to contest the seat of Mr. Williamß, Democrat, Delegate to Congress from the Terri tory (if Jefferson. Dr. Willing is now m this city en route for Washington. The Democratic State Central Committee of Tennessee, have agreed upon the 18th of January for the assembling of the Democracy at Nashville, in order to appoiut Dele gates to the National Convention, and to choose their ch-i-tors for the State at large, and for the transaction of such otherlitiHiness as maybe deemed necessary. The Black lti-publican State. Convention assembled at Newport, Ky., on the 10th iusL\ The attendance, of course, was very small, as one might naturally suppose. The id-fa of a Black Republican .Slate Convention In Kentucky, is ridiculous in the extreme—there are not 100 Abolitionists or ” irrepressible couflict ” men in tho ontire State, as you will at once perceive, from the fact that Cassius M. Clay and one Geo. D. Wakey wore chosen Senatorial Delegates to th»* Black Republican Sectional Convention. If we do not greatly mistake the signs of the times, Kentucky is to-day more decidedly pro-slavery than at auy previous period in her history. The continued agitation of tho sub ject serves only to establish tho institution more firmly and permanently. Let the Abolitionists continue to rave- Tho Missouri Legislature meets at Jefferson city to-day (2Mh inat). Among other business before this body, will be a Bill for a “ Metropolitan Police ” system in this city . one for tho consolidation of the City.and Couuty of St.’ Louis: one to amend the present Banking Law; one in regard to our Railroads; one to amend tho City Charter, and one relative (o the Merchants’ Tax Bill. The lion. Linn Boyd is still in a critical situation. One J. R. Wiit‘-m-.m: has rendered himself obnoxious to the citizons of Newport, Ky., and has been ordered in a communication, signed “Determined Citizens,” to leave that place by the l«t of December—on account of his promulgating Abolition sentiments. Mr. l‘<*nner 1-erguson, let** DMegato in Congress from Nebraska Territory, died in Belluvue, Sarpy nuntv. on tile 11th iust. Gov. Sam Med.try, of Kansas, has proclaimed that an election of the following officers will be held i:i that Terri tory. on Tuesday, the oth day of December, lAv.i : A Gov ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Attorney- General, Chief Justice of the Supremo Court, one Associate Justi-’e for the term of four years, and one for the term of two years; together with live District Judgos, oue Repre sentative in Congress, a Probate Judge, Clerk of the Dis trict Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction in each organized county, and members of tho State Senate and House of Representatives in the various election districts. Sam Medury is the Democratic nominee for Governor. The Democrat of this city, contains a call for “a'l per sons opposed to the Natioual Domoeracy to meet at tho Court House on Wednesday next, to appoint delegates to the Convention of the united ‘opposition’ to be held at Jrfferson city on the 2Sth of December next, to tvaponil to the call of tho Lafayette county meeting.” It may be well enough to sav a i‘e\v words about this “ opposition ” convention. The Black Republicans know their weakness in this State—they know that they could not poll 10,900 votes outside of this county, and therefore do not want to show that weakness to their friends in the North, are urg ing the “ Americans ” iu this State to make nominations, and pledging th»*m the Black Republican vote—small as it is—and they will spread 4t abroad that the nominations uro lilac!.- Republican, and claim the voto given to such a ticket, as the Black Republican strength in Missouri. FOREIGN NEWS BY THE EUROPA. Sackvii.le, N. 8., Dec. I.—The foreign dis patches, per Europa, received by the horse express, includes advices to the 20th ult., by telegraph to Queenstown, at which port the Europa touched on her voyage. Shanghai, Oct. o.— TheChinese government has repudiated the treaty with the United States, by refusing to open the-ports of Suan toplc and Taiman, as stipulated in tho treaty. Paris, Nov. 19.—N0 formal invitation has yot been sent by France to England, but Count Persigny has been instructed to arrange the preliminary conditions with Lord John Russel. Austria and England have both protested against the establishment of the regency in Italy. The French prefects are instructed to invite tho journals to be more circumspect in their language towards England. It is stated that Buancompaign would ten der his resignation of the regency to the Sardinian r governraent. Two British war . steamers have succeeded in bringing off three hundred aud fifty Christians from the small ports of Morocco. A general massacre of the fugitives was feared. A Spanish army of forty thousand men was expected to land in Morocco early in December. The London Times , upon the San Juan dif ficulties, enlarges upon the general conviction that war between America and England is impossible. It, however, says there are some convictions which work out their own truth in practice, but there are others which tend to their own practical refutation. We sincerely hope that the different readings of the axiom that war with England and America is impos sible, may not be an illustration of this truth. • The editorial, after pointing out tho impor tance of San Juan to England, and the impos sibility of the surrender of it, unless some very different title be brought forward from any yet seen, concludes by expressing much satis faction that the right to the island will be coolly discussed in Washington and London, while the affairs on the spot will remain in statu quo. The exchange of ratifications at Zurich has been fixed for the 21st of November. The full powers entrusted to plenipotentiaries would then be withdrawn. The seat of the CoDgress would probably be Paris. The Congress will be composed of France. Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Sardinia, Rome and Naples. The London Herald understands that Mr. Lever has again offered to Charter the Great Eastern for twelve months, but the proposal was refused without hesitation. A Movement Against Negroes in Canada. -r-By the proceedings of the Court of Assizes of Essex county, Canada, it appears that the Grand Jury made a presentment to the Court, based upon a representation emanating from tho authorities of the township of Anderton, in regard to the negro population of the county. The Grand Jury Bubmit the docu ment that was presented to them to the Court, and urge that some action be taken in the matter. The Anderton authorities say: “We are aware that nioe tenths of the crimes are committed by colored people.” And they further urge “ that some measures may be . taken by the government to protect us and : our property, or persons of capital will be driven from the country.” The Court, in alluding to this presentment, remarked that “ fie was not surprised at finding a prejudice existing against them (the negroes) among the respectable portion .of the people, for they were indolent, shiftless, and dishonest, and unworthy the sympathy that some mistaken parties extended to them; they would but work when opportunity was presented, but preferred subsisting by thieving from respec table farmers and begging from those benevolently indicted.” OVERLAND CALIFORNIA MAIL.

The present number closes the fifty-fourth volume of tbs Knickerbocker, and while we thank our patrons for their past favors, we shall strive to increase their number by redoubled care and effort in every djpartment of the Magazine. We expect in our next number to be able to announce a series of article? on Popular Astronomy, by the most distinguished writer upon that science in the land. ‘Stories and Pictures' of the Hudson will be com pleted during the year, and the two volumes will contain the best sketches, tales poems, etc-, that can be procured for the entertainment of our readers. PREMIUM FOR 1860. In order to Increase the already large circulation of the Knickerbocker, we publish this month a eplendid tine engraving of Frith’s picture of * Merry-Making iu the Olden Time,’ which we shall present exclusively to the $3 subscribers to the Magazine for 1860, whether old or new. The sabject represents the pastimes of our ancestors, and is eminently of a genial, domestic character. The plato, engraved in England at an expense of 2000 dollars, is entirely new, measures twenty-five by nineteen and a half Inches in tize. contains thirty-Dine figures, and Is beyond comparison the finest work of the kind ever offered as a premium in this country. ‘The engraving of Frith’s picture of Merry-Making in the Olden Time, represents the humors of an English holi day in the county in those good old times when the men wore cocked-bats and knee-breeches, and the women stays and hoops—a costume not essentially differing from the corset and crinoline of the present day. Almost in tbe centre ot tbe picture and a little to the back-ground is a country dance on the green, with a hard-featured fiddler perched on a high seat, and another mu-.ician in a tie-wig standing by him, playing with all their might. On the right two bouncing girls are gaily palling toward the dance a gray-taaired man, who seems vainly to remonstrate that bis • dancing days are over,’ while a waggish little child pashes him forward from behind, greatly to the amusement of his spouse, who is still sitting at the tea-table, from which be has been dragged. On the left, under a magnifi ceut spreading oak. sit the 'squire and bis wife, whom a countryman with his hat off is respectfully inviting to take part in the dance. To the left of the ’squire is a young couple on the grass, to whom a gipsy with an infant on her shoulder is telling their fortune. Over the shoulders' of this couple rs seen a group engaged in quoit playiug, and back of the whole is a laods<-ape of gentle slopes and copses. The picture has the expression of gnyety through out and tbe eugraving is splendidly executed. It is fresh from the burin of Hull, not having yet been published in England.’ TERMS.—Twenty-five cents per number, or $3 per an num, in advaoce; two copies $5; three copies $6.

THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. PROSPECTUS THE NEW YORK LEDGER. AS AN indication of the popularity of the LEDGER, we need only state the simple fact that its circulation Is larger than that of any other TEN literary papers In the country. Its great success is owing to the fact that its proprietor secures the best writers in the country; and spares no expense in getting up the BEST FAMILY PAPER—a paper of high moral tone. The exalted reputation of its contributors, the practical and invariably pure and healthy character of all its articles, the care which is laken that not even one offensive word ehall appear in its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and Sketches, have gained for the NEW YORK LEDGER a position that no literary paper has ever before reached. We feel, and always have felt, since the LEDGER attained its immense cir culation, that a heavy responsibility rests upon us, and have endeavored to discharge that responsibility con scientiously, feeling confident that - ultimately we should receive the thanks of thousands and tens of thou sands of families. As to the fatnre, we are at a loss what to say. We prefer to perform rather than to promise. What we have heretofore done is known to our readers; they know what the LEDGER has been and is now, and must therefore judge what it will be hereafter. We can only eay that among thecoatributors to theLEDuBB are EDWARD EVERETT, WM. C. BRYANT, CHARLES DICKENS, GEO. P. MORRIS, PAUL MORPHY, N. P. WILLIS Hon\ H. J. RAYMOND, ANNA CORA RITCHIE GEO. I).

FifCTS like these carry with them more weight than any comments that could be made, and comments will therefore be dispensed with. As we have already iuti mated, we shall leave promising to those who prefer to expend their force in that way, and content oarselves with doing what we can to make tho LEDGER the most interesting and instructive FAMILY PAPER in the world.

Does the present system of teaching sufficiently cultivate the memory? 7. Is Morality sufficiently taught in our Common Schools? 8.

For a shorter period the charges will be somewhat higher. The length of time members were in attendence will be shown by their certificates. The cost of Membership will not exceed 50 cents. It will be seen by the programme of exercises that a vast amount o'f useful matter will be presented to the Institute; whether it shall prove beneficial will depend much upon the presence and interest of teachers Hith erto the Institutes have been notonly a means of direct improvement to those participating, bat their influence has been salutary upon the community. Let then every teacher who feels the responsibility of his vocation, thus avail himself of another opportunity of improve ment, and of elevating the character of his profession. Boards of directors are respectfally requested to make such arrangements with their teachers as shall enable them to attend. Directors and Mends of education are earnestly In vited to be present.

Term* per day. flm4& Scrofula, or King’s Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. 'What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending “ from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ;** indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him -who says, «I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children.** Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from- scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from ol are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER’S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill- of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is con „ biried from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive and Skin Diseases, {3t. Anthony’s Fire, Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tbtteb and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief in “ impurity of the blood ’* is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this'Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Rot only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints : Costive* ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered stomach, -V ausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Boieels, Flatulency , Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. CHRISTIAN HOMP. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and bo nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost everv section of country abounds in persons pub licly'known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues arc known, tne public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that arc incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten DR.
