America's Mission.
On Thanksgiving. Day, the Rev. CHARLES
wApswoRTITI of the Arch street Presbyterian
Church, in Philadelphia,, delivered a Sermon
that has ,been published in a neat pamphlet
form and is deserving of more than ordinary
commendation. Its wholesome truths, says
the Pennsylvanian. expressed with, fearless
Christian fervor, fill the soul with delight, and
strengthen the judgment of every true patriot.
Bow elevating.are such sentiments, and what
encouragement do they give to the - real lovers
of the, whole human family ! No mean pre
judices limit the scope of the Rev. .gentleman's
philanthrophy—no narrow bigotry blurs the
fair face of his Christian creed. He sees man
as God created him, capable of the highest de
gree of human perfection, and strives, with
generous ardor, to lift him to that ennobling
positiOn. Not only as a Christian Minister, do
pure thoughts glow from his lofty intellect ;
but a Patriot-and-Statesman ho corruselb
mankind fur their mutual 'worldly benefit.—
What. inspiring hopes animate our bosoms,
when the clarion - voice of truth reaches our
hearts, from a source so pure, from a mind so
noble ! How meanly impotent appear the at
tempts of those Ministers, who use their pul
pits mainly for the purpose of engendering
strife, and stirring up a man's too willing na-
tural hatred of his fellow ! Mr. W. said :
Now, this leads me to remark, Thirdly,
That the truth under revi w will appear still
more apparent, if yo arefully observe—
' How the genius, .anierican Institutions, and
the peculiarities of. American character, eminent
ly qualify • and equip us for this great work of
man's social and civil regeneration. •
The whole history of the rise and progress
of our national character, cannot have failed to
impress this thought strongly upon every phil
osophic mind. Not only in the original settle
ment of this country was there a sifting of all
Christendom for the noblest specimens of man
hood to go forth as colonists ; but in all our,stib
sequent progress has there been gathered - into
it' every variety of national character, so that
there is scarcely a solitary people in the whole
earth MINI finds not its representative•incor
porated in our social system. The iron Saxon,
the volatile Frenchman, the grave Spaniard,
the reflective German. the effervescing
the warm-hearted Irishman ; aye, and the
member of the wildest clan and_the extretnest
caste of earth's remotest continents, all speak
of America as the refuge of their brethren ;
and as the celebrated Corinthian brass was on
ly a rare amalgam of all other metals, so the
American character holds in combination, all
. the available peculiarities of every people un
der heaven. While the original Anglo-Saxon
is the controlling element of the mass, yet, so
essentially have the highest qualities of other
races modified the composite ; and so warmly
has the whole been fused and fired by the
glorious freedom of American life ; that our
national character is, to-day. a new and nobler
style in the development of manhood. And
in this anomalous fact, you cannot fail to per
ceive how Uod has furnished us with the desid
erata for one great mission to the nations, as
well in the hold we thus have on the sympa
thies and affections' of all people, as in those
elements of ardor, and energy, and hope,
which must render the Anglo• American the
noblest representative of man.
Add to this, then, the mighty resources of
influence and strength which, our nation em
bosoms—the 'mighty and magnificent thing
America is now on the earth—and the more
mighty and magnificent thing she is to be Ares
' ently, when, if true to herself and to her great
-mission, shall shall stretch from - ocean to ocean,
athwart this broad continent ; a nation of free
men; self-governed = governed by simple law,
without a police or a soldiery —a nation of five
hundred millions of people, covering' the sea
with their Elects, and the land with their great
cities—first in arts and learning, and every
great , product of genius —and ,thu.S. even Po
nroca,eer, a power on the earth, before which
the menial war-power of kings were as the
Philistines before Samson. Aye, and more
-than all, Itee mouser, God's great almoner of
the gospel to the race—the light of the be
nighted—the refuge of the oppresed—the home
of the exile=the hope of the lost. Oh ! I say.
in view of what my country now is, and what
she seems destined to be, in the march of God's
providence, who can, fail to recognize God's
great purpose in raising her up. as the one 1
mighty instrument for the civil and religious
regeneration of the world.
Nor have we any more to fear—From the
itillux if foreign element into our body politic,
en the character and habits of the mingled races
of the old world. Though foreign emigration
wee. increased a hundred fold, it would no
_more . • 6 • . •
our free institutions, than do the thousand
rivers, that-pour their varied elements into the
sea, alarm a philosopher for the purity of the
mighty and assimilating ocean. This nation
is already, in all its grand elements of charac
ter, permanently Anglo-American ; and a wise
man would just as sincerely fear to dine on a
stallion, lest he, himself. should become a
great fish ; or to break his fast on a bird, lest he
should sprout with feathers and wings ; as have
a fear lest this American nationality be essen
tionally or injuriously modified by any foreign
elements that may flow into it.
liox.,,JA3tEs BUCHANAN.—The New York
Express learns that our Minister in London
was not at the Lord Mayor's banquet at Guild
hall, on the day of inauguration, and under
stands from unquestioued authority he was
specially waited upon, and urged to attend,
under the belief it would have a beneficial ef
fect on the public mind. On that occasion Eler
Majesty's Ministers, the Foreign Ambassadors,
and a number of distinguished persons were
present. The American Minister, unless pre
vented by physical circumstances, is rarely
absent on this politico-festive gathering, and
Mr. Buchanan's steadily refusing to listen to
any entreaties, shows great caution on his part
in the present delicate attitude of our diplo
matic relations with Great Britain.
npw IL ELECTED. —A good thig - o - e - etirred
says the Indiana Sentinel, on a down train
from Lafayette recently. We give it as we
heard it :
There was one of those long-faced, white
fleet:kerchiefed, politico-religious f a n a ti ed on
board, who was evidently uneav lest. the pas
sengers should not notice him, and he there
fore kept up a loud and continuous strain of
abuse and denunciation of ••Dough-faces," and
at length, when the cars were stopped at one
of the stations,-turning-to an ex-candidate for
Congress, be said, in an excited and angry tone :
do believe if the Devil was brought out
against Douglas for President, that he would
beat him." An 'old-liner,' sitting by, replied
that "he was tirinly of the same opinion, fur he
(the Devil) would get the vote of the whole
fusion party." vortit---nof.As I..•sr

Singular Incident.
Yesterday morning, about half-past 8 o'clock,
Mr. Jeremiah Jacoby was walking on the track
about half a mile below this place,_.when _ the__
Pottsville train of cars approaching, he sudden
ly changed over to the other track at the very
minute when the Philadelphia Express train
passed ,by, 'and he was caught between the
cars and instantly killed. He was carried to
his home, a short distance from the spot where
the accident happened, and one of his neigh
.hors, Mr. Philip D. Miller, who, on his way to
town stopped in and assisted in arranging the
corse, then proceeded to town and gave an ad . -
count of the sad occurrence, charging the un
fortunate victim with too much carelessness,
and felt assured that no such accident should
_ever befall him, as. he always exercised too
much precaution. -
Mr. Miller, after haying finished his business
in town, proceeded homewards with his i," - '' ~
and wagon, and when arriving at the heti
the unfortunate Jacoby, a number Of individ
uals, who were collected together on account
of the accident, beckoned and hallooed to him
not to cross the railroad track ; but he moved
forward and gained the other side, when his
horse backed the wagon on the track, and he
l was caught by the cow-catcher, and so much
mutilated that he died shortly after. This in•
dividual, who blamed his friend for negligence,
and was so sure of his own safety. met his end
in the same manner a few hours after the first,
almost at the threshold of his friend.—Denw
cralie Sentinel; Connersville, Pa., Dec. b.' •
,PETER PARLEr.—The Boston Courier, in a
notice of Mr. Kettell, late editor of that paper,
whose death has been announced, says that
"many of those historical compendiums which
came out under the name of Peter Parley were
in fact the work of Mr. Kettell. Be is , the
veritable Peter Parley."
ROMANCE; AND TIME PULPIT.—We noticed the
fact a day or two since that a Presbyterian
minister resigned his charge in Philadelphia,
because the rules of his church would nut al
low him to marry a lady, in Virginia, who had
been divorced. The reverend gentleman allu
ded to came to Virginia, where the' lady lives,
to claim the boon fur which he: had resigned
his occupation and Salary, but the lady, on
hearing of his resignation, declined marriage,
giving as her reason the desire not to separate
church and pastor.—Richmond his.
DEDICATION.—The Frederick (Md.) Union
states that the new and elegant Lutheran
Church in that city, was dedicated on Satur
day week. - The dedicatory sermon was
preached by Rev. Dr. Schinucker. Several emi
nent divines were present upon the occasion.
CITURCII Br owN Down.—During the tremen
dous gale of wind on Sunday - last, the Associ
ate Reformed Presbyterian Church in -Robin
son township, about ten miles from Pittsburg,
was blown down, shortly after midday. For
tunately it had just been repainted, and was
not, therefore; occupied on that day.
