That man who asserts it must be grossly ig

to be to prejudice Americans' against Iheir

to make our political :system odious. To

detsioying their title to respect, as clergymen.

THE 7'I?Af 7 ELING • COMMUNITY
AND THE GREAT' TRAVELLER.
The opposition have always- been exeeed: ,

od of reviving the drooping spirits of their
.friends.through. the instrumentality of ama
teur voting-Lthe.taking the suffrages of the
floating population. in * steamboats, railway
cars, and shge-coaches.- In this way they
frequently
.tlecteil Henry Clay, and in this
way they htive placed the presidential
'Wiens Of Mr. Fremont beyond the reach of .
disappointsment. With the amusements. of
anybody. or of any party we have not the
slightest wish to interfere ; but when / the re,
sults of these' childish , pastimes aro . gravely
pat forth by grave journalists as /enable ev

Alias exclaitns, with an exaltation evident
intended sileryiellt opposition and to
end the campaign. at once, "the traveling

This startling . exclaination is neCompanied
by two tables, showing the vote in two trains
of passenger ears upon two western railroads
some day last month, front' wbfen it appears
that the friends of' Duchanan suffered a per
fect Waterloo defeatat the hands of the Fre
monters. For.cor- own part we ,are willing
to concede,. if the' one:es4inn is worth any
thing, that the whOle-,-not simply ritnajori
ty.—.—of the' truelling community nre in favor
of Mr. Fremont for the next presidency.—
But are the popular will: and the popular
sentiment to be correctly ascertained through
- ‘inch a 'fleeting, shallow channel 1 The Me
-cheek and the laboring , man have neither
the time nor the means, and we may add,nor
the inclination, to indtilge l ielhe fashionable :
migrations of the dog 'days. . The farmer
cannot travel. What with sowing and.reap
ing, planting and:ploughing, chopping and
hauling; and the cares of his househOld, he is
kept busily employed, late . and early, from.
year's end to year'iend.. The merchant and
capitalist seldom leave borne. 'We question
much" whether Stephen Girard was ever at
Saratoga Springs. We know that John Ja
cob Astuy,was never discoVered among those
sumtner, tourists whose utnitteur suffrages ap
pear to afford such lively satisfactiou to the
enemies iof the democratic party. ,
If the democratic party had to rely forsue
cessful.support upon those' who are usually
found seated in the velveteushioned cars of
our railways, or reclining at elegant ease in
the fleeting ' palaces of Long Island sound, of
the Hudson river ; or of the great northern
lakes, we arc free to confes; that the chances
of nominees would be Utterly- hopeless.
It. would be sheer folly to stand a canvass.
The executive and legisiatiVe branches of the
federal governmeni'would be in the hands of
the black republicans in less than. a twelve.
month, Mr. Buchanan Would .continuo to
,dispense the genial hospitalities of Wheat-.
land with quiet dignity,' and Mr. Brecken

LAMBS AMOX,G WOLF:ES.
We called. attention seine 'Weeks. since to
the remarks of Mr. WinilOw 10 the. General
Association of Connecticut, and we sought to
skew their inconsistency with. the spirit of
the. gospel, and the character of a minister of
peace. Mr. Winslow' .hits addressed us an
extended . conuntinicatiou iu reply, which we
find also - published In :another paper: Lie
denies the correetness'of the report of his re
marla, and says: i•
`" Your quotation, if taken from any pre
tended report of my speech, was from a very
bunglinm ° one, in no respect representing me
truly... At:the meeting of thelgeneral Asso
dation, in answer to a brother pteceeding
me, who condemned on, the part of minis
ters, any action' by resolutions or preaching
.
st wrongs involved' in - political affairs,
and .ctured them upon ,disregarding the
words of Jesus Christ, 'Feed My. lambs.' I
did say we do intend to obey [the words of I
Jesus Christ—we. feed His lambs-we
Will feed his'latiMs in Kansas' - we will give
them bread for Alio body, andt:powder to
pro
tect thews agains_the wolves of Missouri."
Our report represented hid) as saying "In
sympathy with the direction poi our 'Savior,.
'Feed my lambs,' we propose . to feed the
lambs of Kansas, to feed theM with bread and
with powder too, to protect: themselves agai
nst the Wolves of Missouri:P;
Surely .our report did not. misrepresent Mr.
Winslow, in . the least partieular. It probs..
bly gives his „words As nearly as it is possible
for him to give theta, and indeed there is no
substantial difference - between our report and
his own. Dot he proceeds to argue It, favor
of his powder doctrine as follows; '•-
" I did not assume that,, to give God's
people bread foy the body and protection a
gainst murderous men, was just what Christ
meant when, be said to Peter,
,‘ Feed: my
lambs;' but I did .assume
.that to give the
Christian people in Kansas bread to save
them from starvation, and powder to protect
them from the rabbets of iii•souri, the wolves
,:(.li4l not Christ say, ' I send foil forth as
lambs among wolves?') wait in closer sympa
thy with the words of Jesus Christ; ; than the
kiml of preaching, to which the brother ex
horted us."
This is coming to the poiht, and-just the
point where we desire to meet the 'advocates
of rifles and powder.hs the means Of promo
ting the peaceful settlement of the country.
Mr. W inslow asks with an air of triumph,-,--
"_ did not Christ say,l send you forth as lambs_
among wolves r. And this- he holds to be
a sufficient justification for the use of such
language as his; Let us' see what j the Lora
Jesus Christ did ' lay. Open to Matthew x.
16---and - hear his voice. ".Behold I send
you forth' as . sheep among wolves': be ye
therefor wise as serpents and • TIAMILtSS
AS LOVES" That is , the spirit: and the
counsel of Jesus Christ Now contrast this
counsel with that. of Mr. Winslow and the
rifle school of preachers:
•
"Giie 9 thenr powder,"..iays one. • •
44 13 e .therefore harmless as doves,"iiay - a the
Lord Jesus Christ.
" Killem -; that's a significant naive," says
another. . .
" Be ye harmless as doves," says !the Lord
Jesus Christ.-
