True Patriotisin;

• there - are two classes of persons iimon
gat us at present• who claim to be true I
patriots; and warmly attached to the Con

their regard for the country in very (BC

The first,class are influenced by reason
-and religion ;.they have deliberately made
up their minds that our Goieruthent is a
good one, and that it is our solemn duty
to do . all iu our power to perpdtuate and
transmit it unimpaired to coming generat
ions. 1
Our own voluntary engagements,'the
• welfare Oldie people,' the prosperity of
the country, the interests of civil and re
ligious liberty 'throughout the world;
all coming time, and the glory of God, all
- require this. This class rof persons are

ory speeches, nop write many inflammat

- either in the war themselves, or their sons
are there, and' their property, time, influ

menu. They are greatly: grieved at the .
present state of affairs, and bear their
country, their whole country on -their
hearts to the mercy-seat daily and hourlvl
The burden of their - prayers,,is, that Go . d
would perpetuate our glorious Union; and
grant us a speedy and honorable peace.
These are the true friends of the country';
they are those on -whom she relies
the most implicit confidence this the

hour of peril..

blustering, and tumultuous. . ,On all occa

Warlike. sermons.- They denounce the
President, the Cabinet, And all who do not
agree 'with themos tardy in their move
ments, vacilliating and timid in! their
policy.; they seek to establish• their own
patriotism by denying the loyalty of
- others. Pretty much all they do for their
-country is done_ with the tongue, or with
• the pen. They are not to be found in the
army- them selves, nor any of those who

Trouble with Foreign -Powers.
I telegraphed to you last night that
Lord Lyons bad laid before the president
a written statement 6f the number and
names of the vessels that had passed the
blockade of the Southern axe
declaration that England could not regard
as effectual a blockade conducted in such
a manner. I now learn that the Freneh
'inister joined with Lord Lyons in
. the
communicntiori ; and that it was, indeed,
a joint paper, in the nature of a protest,
..on the part of the representatives of
- France and England, against such an
effectual attempt to blockade the "South
ern ports. It cannot be denied, that this
matter has now assumed a very grave' as
pect. The presence on our coast of a pow
ful English and French fleet,.shows that
these nations are in earnest in the matter;
and is in itself an insult that we would
mot submit to in ordinary times. It is ,idle
to-doubt any longer the hostile intentions
of these two powers. England sees in
the present condition of the country, the
•
opportunity she .bas long waited for to
-humble our national pride ; and the French
Emperor will join bands with her in the
attempt for the - reasons indicated bi a for ,
merictter. ,
The facts contained in ,the cemmunica
tion.of the English Minister, cannot be
-denied. The blockade_ has been notorious
-71'y ineffective, and therefore no blockade
at all. In my letter of July 8d and sth,
stated what I had learned to be the

ments in the premises; and , the event

• Another Pioneer Settler Gone.
DIED—In Brooklyn, Pa., on Thurs
day, August Ist, after a painful and pro
tracted illness,. Robert Eldridge, aged 80
years.
Mr. Eldt idge .was born in Groton, New
London county,Connecticut in 1780. He
remained at home . until 'twenty-one years
of age, when he went on b.oard a Mer
chant vessel for the West Indies, and for
sip years endured the toils 'and hardships
°fa sailors life. In 1807 he went.to Den
matk, Lewis county, N. Y., and was there
married to Miss Sally -Sylvester. In the
war of 1812 he was drafted into service
and went to Sackets harbor under Capt.
Sanders, arriving there one day'after the
battle at that point. In-1815 he emigrat
ed to this County, and located on a farm
Bridgewater,three miles south of Mont
rose.. The country was yet new, and the
smoke of the Pioneers tog cabin had but
afew years curled upward among the
trees ; but the den se wilderness was fast
giving away to the sunlight of civilization.
Mr. Ndridge, like all those early settlers,
soon had his land ander:a. good state of
cultivation.. He lived to enjoy the trait
or his labors andsee "the wildern4ss blos
som as the rose. In 18:30he linked with
the Methodist Church of whiCh he was a
member at the time of his death. In 1832
Lis wife died leaving, five - children. In
1833 be was again married to Miss Daro
.the. Canard, and soon after moiled to his
'late residence in Brooklyn' Pa. Declin
ing years compelled him to abandon the
active labors of life, and.he seemed very
much to enjoy the society Of !Heyde and
neighbors about him. During his last
sickness he often expressed,his heart felt
gratitude for the kindness shown bim by
those neighbors, who were ever ready to
do all iti their power to relieve and com
fort him in his afflictions.
On Saturday August, 4th, after relig
°us services at the Methodist Church In
Brooklyn his mortal remains.were intere4
in the south Bridgewater cemetery..
Thus the veteran pioneers of our -coun
