Se. 630 omornarr EiTitEET (second low)
.t7here all persons interested in sewing machines are in
Vited to call and examine this wonderful Machine.
It has been the object of the FLORENCE SEWING
AILALCHINB COMPANY to supply a machine free from
She objections attached to other first-class machines, and
Sifter the patient, untiring labor of years and a liberal
wgpenditure of capital in securing the first mechanical
Relent, their efforts have been crowned with success. and
Sher are now offering to the public the MOST PERFE
(SEWING M.LCRINE IN THE WORLD. Among its
Wsany advantages over all other machines, maybe mere.
lit. It makes four different stitches on one and the
name machine, each stitch being perfect and alike on
, 9foth sides of the fabric.
3d. Ohanoing irons one kind of stitch to another, as
.19ell as the length of the stitch, can readily be done while
%Use machine is in motion.
3d. Beeryleriteh is perfect in itself . , making the seam
swum and uniform, eomblning elasticity, strength and
• beauty.
4th. It has the reversible feed motion, which. ,enables
*he operator to ran the work to either the right or left,
or stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams
'Writhout turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
Bth. It is the most rapid sewer in the world, making
lire stitches to each revolution,
and there is no other
;chine which will do so large a range of work as the
fLORENCE.
6th. It does the heaviest or finest work with equal fa
cility, without change of tension or breaking of thread.
7th. It hems. fells, binds, gathers, braids, quilts, and
If:ethers and sews on a rums at the same time.
Bth. Its simplicity enables the most inexperienced to
overate it. Its motions are all pove, and there are
•Sso fine gpringB to get out of order, and it is adapted to
ell kinds of cloth-work, from thick to thin, and is ca
most noiseless.

In the year 11346, the writer of this article embarked in
the drug business in the city of Philadelphia, , where he
has been engaged now over sixteen years in the manu
facture of pharmaceutical preparations of various de
scriptions. Bnt for the last ten years moat' of his time
has been employed in the manufacture of the various
solid and tied extracts.
Most prominent among those to Which he desires to
call the particular attention of the faculty, druggist's:
and the puhlic, 'are the ;Highly Opncentrated I?l.ltid Es
tract j3nehn, and Highly Concentrated Thad Egicaot
Sarsaparilla. .; '
Both of these are prepared on' - purely soles:than prima-
Pled (in Teem.) and embody the fill strength of thsSva
rifts Ingredients entering into their composition. These
medicines require considerable care in the preparation,
and the employment of different menstrua in sinces r elve
operations to take up the extract matters. and in coniSe
quence are most frequently improperly made, and; not
unfrequently much impaired,' if not, .rendered totally
inert, by the injudicious' and unskilful man: gement of
those acquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
My extract Buchu, upon inspection, will be. found to
be of the odor, color, and taste of the plant of that name,
and not a dark, glutinous preparaticov A ready and -
conclusive test vs be a comparison of its properties With
those set forth Ira the 'United States Dispensatory.
The Extract Eareaparilla is far superior to any preha
ration that,has ever come to my notice as a blood purify.
big agent. A tablespoonful of,the Extract Sarsaparilla
added to a pint of water is fully equal to the celebrated
Lisbon Diet Drink, so much used:by enfeebled and 41i:
cate constitutions of both sexes and all ages.
One bottle is fully equal in strength to one gallon of
the syrup or decoction as usually made, and hundreds
of druggists throughout the- country have adopsed it in
making heir syrups of this name
I desire, in this connection, to make a plain statement of
fitoth, being prompted to do so—
First—By a consideration of the welfare of suffering
humanity_
Second—Becanse I do not wish my articles classified as
nostrums or patent medicines, many of which are made,
by persons 'too ignorant to read a physician's simplest
prescription, much less to Manufacture pharmaceutical
preparations.
These persons advertise. This lam compelled to do,
to bring my name before the public, conscientiously be
lieving that I have the most valuable articles that were
ever advertised. They have been advertised over ten
years, commencing in a small way, and have not only,
sustained their reputation, but their popularity has ex
tended to all parts of the United States, and widely'
throughout foreign countries.
As before remarked, I, in common with the manafac
turerers of patent medicines, advertise my medicines.
But how shortlived have been the thousands of .these
articles. And yet there are many parsons who will con
tinue to think that merit in the article is not essential to
CESS.
My course, in many particulars; has been quite differ
ent from that of any others. 'With o n ver 33.000 tensOlicit
ed ceitificates and recommendatory letters frdm all sec-.

DEAR SIR : I have been troubled with an affection of
the Bladder and Kidneys for over twenty years. I bad
tried physicians in vain, and at last concluded to give
your genuine Preparation a trial. as I had• hoard it so
highly spoken of. I have need three bottles, and hive
obtained snore relief from its' ffects; and feel much bet
ter than. I have for twenty years previous.
I save the greatest faith in its virtues and curative
Powers, and shall do all in my power to make it known
to the afflicted. Hoping this may prove advantageous to
you in assisting you to introduce the Medicine. I am
truly Yetirr,. IL C. McCORHICK.

.Of the whole number treated, as shown by our certifl
.
cates,9,72o were treated for diseases of the Bladder.-Kid
neys, Gravel, and. Dropsical Swellings. The average
amount of medicine consumed, as per, certificates, was
seven bottles; the average term of suffering one year and.
one mouth. Of this number, 350 were, females, 227 chil
dren, and the balance males.
10 121 were treated, for diseases arising from excessea:'
Habits of dissipation, youthful imprndence:attended with
various symptoms, among which will be found indispo
sition to exertion, 'weak nerves, dimness of vision,night
sweats, pallid countenance, great mobility, restlessness,
horror of society, no earnestness of manner, -. These
symptoms, if allowed to continue,, would undoubtedly
result in epileptic fits, insanity or consumption. How
many thousands of the young have died of these causes.,
Visit our almshouses, hospitals, and prisons, and see the
misery they Produce: Out of these 10,121, there were
5,021 males, 3,750 females. The sex of the remaining
number was not stated in letters. The average term of
suffering was 434 years; average age 24 years; average
amrsust of medicine consumed 10% bottles. In respect to.
ailments peculiar to woman in decline cr change of life,
this will be found invaluable. No family should be with
out it.
7.200 were treated for Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ulceration of )he Throat and Legs, Pains and Swellings
of the Bones, Tester, Pimples on the fare, and all scaly
eruptions of the skin.
9,571 were treated for diseases of the blood arising from
habits of dissipation. Of this number 2,247 were treat el
for syphilis, 944 for humors of the b100d,1,3331 - or diseases
of a secret nature, in all their stages. In this class of
complaints patients do not readily volunteer certificates,
which accounts for the small number received. Of this
number 4,219 were males and 2,200 were females; ave
rage age 26 years and S months; average term of suffer
ing 3 months; average amount consumed 9 bottles.
The above statistics are taken from a diary kept ex
pressly for the purpose, and with great care.
Tbe proprietor, in making this statement, hcpes that
his motive may be appreciated. A feeling that entire
candor is due to all has prompted him to do so. I am
well aware that many persons consider five or ten dol
lars expended in any kind of medicine for the benefit of
their health a,waste of money, and. yet these same per
will expend hundreds of dollars in dress and dissi
pation, and think nothing ofit. Such forget
That good health
Is true wealth.
Let us look at this matter for a moment. There are as.
tringents, Purgatives, narcotics, poisons, diuretics, blood
purifiers, ac. There is no contradicting the following
facts:
A poison for one is a poison for all..
A. narcotic for one is a narcotic for all.
A diuretic for one is a diuretic for all.
Apurgative for one is a purgative for all.
A blood purifier for one is a blood purifier for all.
With this difference only, that some constitutions require
more than others. . .

The Extract Sarsaparilla will answer in all cases, and
Will accomplish as much as any otner purifier. I will
gladly pay $5,000 fora better article.
My Extract Buchn is a Diuretic, and will act as such.
accomplishing as much as any other. I will gladly pay
$5,000 for a better article. Both are vegetable prepara
tions, pleasant in taste and odor, and safe, and are taken
by men, women, and children. Explicit directions ac
company the medicine.
To the suffering I would say, in conclusion, that I have
bad ranch to contend with, the objects being chiefly of
this description. The expense of preparing my articles
is such that I could not afford to commission them as pa
tent medicine manufacturers do, but have been compell
ed to sell for cash.
Consequently I have lost - much-by unprincipled deal
ers endeavoring to dispose of their own or other articles
on the reputation of mine. The merit of my preparations
has, however, quietly pushed them into favor; bat you
still need to exercise care to obtain my true preparations.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1863
k VISIT . TO NEW YORK.
(Correspondence of The Prem.)
ITIES;7 YORK, OOL 31,V63
Assuredly, though not a metropolis, New Yrk is
a great city. The Gothamites, whose amour rope
is marvellously great, call it "the metropolis"—in
ignorance of the meaning of, the word. Noah Web
.
ater properly declares that metropolis literally means
"thcOmother city ; that ia, the chief city or capital
of a Kingdom, State, or country—as Paris in France,
Madrid in Spain, London in Great Britain. In the
United States, IVashington, in the - District of Co
lumbia, is the 'metropolis, ad !being the seat of Go.
vernment.; , -
Here, after a weeks revisit, ' I take advantage of
a fearfully - wet Saturday, in which it is almost im
possible to venture out of doors, to gossip about
persons and places, seen after a long absence. This
is the third wet Saturday, in succession, in New
York—according to what seems to be an invariable
rule. Timewas, when, with such weather, Broad
way would have been 'nearly impassable, from the
conversion of its mud into slop, with the ofEstreete
kneoeeep in sludge. But New York, which, not
long ago, held the bad pro eminence of being one of
the dirtiest cities in the world, is now greatly
changed. The street comptroller is that same Alder
man Boole, of rough-and-ready notoriety, who is said
to have presided, in his shirt sleeves, at a reception of
the Prince of Wales, and to have committed other
curious acts of,. gaucherie. Some one was greatly
needed to .. put New York ingood condition as to its
highways 'and byways, and Boole was appointed.
Many fancied that it would. end in a job, but Mr.
Boole set to work and soon showed that he was in
earnest. In a fevieweeka, the city was thoroughly
cleansed, and the good work thus begim' has been
continued : result—New York is, what Philadel_
phia was—a clean city. There is some talk of put
tinglar. Boole up as candidate for the Mayoralty,
but whatever shape public gratitude may take, let
it' not remove Mn Boole from his present occupa
tion of..keeping New York clean.
Every where, and much to the public advantage,
passenger railveus intersect this city. Not much
can be said of the care, which seem like old omni
buses razeed; and mounted on very low wheels.
Many of them, too, are drawn only by one horse
each, which makes the speed much less than in our
own.fair city. The price is five.cents, as with ue,
and this yields an enormous profit If ever there be'
passenger railroad cars in BroadWaY, the fare will
be legally fixed at three cents for each person, and it
is underetoodthatthis will largely pay.
There undeniably is a strong antagonism here to
having the iron rails laid down in Broadway. A
causeless antagonism I take it to be. The present
hurly.burly - in that street, caused by the ceaseless
tide of omnibuses, is a hundred times worse than
any that passenger me could make. Indeed these
omnibuses are a terrible nuisance, by the Continual
obstructions which they create. They make such
an incessant rush through the street that it - is dila;
cult, at times, even for a man to cross Broadway on
foot, and women and children, after waiting for
some minutes, have to be guided across by police
men.
A passenger -railroad on Broadway would at once
relieve that great thoroughfare from the crowd of
omnibuses, nor, as railroads are laid down and. kept
in order in New York, would the line be a detriment
to private vehicles or public traffic. The street con
servators of New York do their duty better than
those of Philadelphia. The rule here, rigidly car
ried out, 1480 to insert the iron rails that the flange
shall be on a dead level with the street. In parts of
our own _city, and especially in- Market street, the
flanges of -the. rails- are sometimes three and four
inches higher than the road 'itself, greatly to the de
struction of the wheel-tire and the springs of ear,
eases which have to. cross -them. In New York, .
Mich a condition of rails would not be allowed for a
day. Our.(iron)..ways want mending.
It is on. BrOadway that a man becomes convinced
what a great live city this New York is. The tide
of population, which, is a continual ebb and flow
through it, is enormous. The architecture is very
varied—grandeur and novelty side. by side with•
meanness and antiquity. This is . eipecially to be
noticed bet Ween" Canal street and the. City Hall,.
where; on the left side, as you go down, there are a
nunaber of miserable two-story brick houses, which
seem like huts alongside of or oppiisite - to palatial
places of trade. These miserable, faded, and very
mean oldlouses disfigure a noble street.. Their 1:1013.
lessors held them in hope of being offered. hugm
prices forthe sites, but improvement took a start up
the street; andno one cared to, give great prices for
old houses in situations which had ceased to be of
first-rate value, Gradually, they will be replaced
by edifices suited to the street and the time.
Dom the number, vastness, and magnificence of
th_W places, of business, one might think that the
clothiers are 7 smoni:the moat thriving people ^in
New York. Their houses are among the largest,
grandest, and handeomest in Broadway, and, indeed,
all over the city. - There are numerous stores now
in New York, which, in point of beauty and cam
pletenees, are not,to be equalled in the world.- We.
have many such in Philadelphia, but they abound in
New York. _
.
I.et no - one - visit New York, even for a day, with
out passing through its especial pride, the Central
Park. It ii already very beautiful, but in a few
years will surpass any public park in the world.
Hyde Park, the Green Park, and St. James' Park,
in London, forming one continuous and straggling
chain, contain in all not quite five hundred acres.
Add Kensington Garden, with its 300 acres, to
these, and we have a total area of about 800 acres.
But the Central Park of New York, more than dou
ble the size of Hyde Park, contains 880 acres, all
within a single fence. It contains some of the finest
Macadamized drives in the world, bridle-roads, foot
paths, lakes, playgrounds, promenades, rocks, trees,
and flowers. In. ten years it will be as perfect as
any such place can be inada. Much taste and skill
were employed in laying it out, and every advantage
was taken of the peouliarities of the site. In time
it will contain a Zoological Garden. I saw within
an enclosurethe deer which Philadelphia lately pre•
Rented to New Yolk. The squirrels, sent at the
same time, were not "on hand." If the curators of
the Central Park desire to encourage birds within
their demesne, they will part with the squirrels,
which are destructive bird-nesters, climbing up and
sucking the eggs.
If New York beats us a in Park, though we have
a tidy little place of our own' at Fairmount, she has
nothing near as good as our cemeteries. Yesterday
I;spent some hours in Greenwood - Cemetery, much
enlarged since I last had seen it, and decided that it
was not to be compared with our Laurel Hill. The
monuments, too, are generally inferior. The elabo•
rate monument . to Miss Oandy wants the simple
grace and touching beauty of the monument which
Mr. Saunders, the sculptor, exectrted with his own
hand, and placed over the remains of his wife and
infants in Laurel Hill.
By the way, the distance from New York to
Brooklyn, over the East river, is about as much as
fromPhiladolphia to Camden, over the. Delaware.
But the fare in Neisi York is only two cents, while
in Philadelphia it extortionately is five.
Forrest I did not see, but learned that he never
played a more successful engagement in New York,
and that he will perform in Philadelphia in a month
9r so. •
At Wallack's a play called "Rosedale," by Lester
Wallack, Was acted, from first to last, With a com
pleteness most wonderful. With the exception of a
little boy's part, played by a little girl with a squeak
ing voice, everything was well done here. Mr.
Wallack has been accused of taking part of his plot
and 'same of his characters from an English novel
called "Lady Lee's Widowhood ;" but I perceive
that a great deal of it is his own. For example, the
villain's part, which John Gilbert-plays so well, is
not in the novel, and the visit to the Gipsy camp,
with its striking situation at the end of the penulti
mate act, is wholly new. Mr,Wallack and Mrs.Hoey
simpasseCthemselves ; but all the characters were
well'sustained.
Mrs. John Wood, at the . Olympia (where Mr.
Hayes, of this city, is her scene painter), and Mr.
Clarke, at the Winter Garden, also draw well. At
Bainum's (where the miniature Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machine presented to Mrs. Tom Thumb is
among the many curiosities) a ghost.play is given
twice a day, with a giant of 18 years and 8 feet 'in
height, between tie drama and pantomime. All
the New York theatres are doing immense business.
Mani Philadelphia playgoers willbe glad to learn
that, on' this day week, Mrs. Barney Williams pre.
vented her liege lord with a fe male baby, very much
alive, and said to be astonishingly like her hand.
some and clever mamma.
Never NeW York more crowded. with visitors,
or apparently more prosperous. Money seems
abundant, though prices have run up with awful
rapidity. Articles of dress are so particularly costly
in NeW York, that I recommend all Philadelphians
to save money by making their purchases at home.
The hotels - are crowded, and it is said that the
price of.board'wjl be advanced after this week,
from $3 a day in paper money to $2 60 in gold, or
$3.60 in Greenbacks. Mr. C. T. :Tones, who
used to be at our Continental, is now in the
Office of the St. Nicholas Hotel, and I have to.
thank his kindness in giving us an excellent room
on the second floor. This day I visited the culinary.
department of the. St. Nicholas, and the kitchen is
a wonder in its way. The spits are turned by, is team
power, and the fire, said to be only three inches of
coal, is perpendicularly placed. They make their
own gas, and the laundry has the steam and clothes
wringing applianCes of our Continental. But, in
the St. Nicholas, it is out the way, in Mercer street,
whereas at . the Continental it is in the basement,
from the opened windows of which, in South
-Ninth
street, sometimes emanate saponaceous odors, not
very pleasant to passers by. The St. Nicholas,
since February last, has been in new hands, and has
been very much improved by the change.
The rain has ceased, and already the streets are in
condition, for pedestrians. It is impossible to re•
main within doors, when all the world is afoot, but
em I conclude let me mention another circumstance.
Very, much against my, will, I brought a bad cold
with me - from Philadelphia, a week ago:. I tried to
coax - it tinder by all sorts of lozenges, jejubes, lico.
rice, and au& alleviators. On the third day a friend,
pitying my condition, for my voice was affected,
head stuffed, and chest oppressed, gave me a pinch
of snuff—of catarrh snuff. This afforded welcome
and instant relief, One pinch at night, and one more
next morning, completed the cure, relieved the head,
restored the voice t lifted the oppression from the
chest,. and dispersed- the racking headache which
had accompanied the compotind ailment. I know
nothhig of the c,ozaponent parts of this speoi2 a, except
that tobacco is not among them, but I do know that
it cured' me in a felt' hours,. and, I believe, rescued
me from esericais /laving pukehaeed a box

To Rev. Dr. Howl!.
PMDELPHIA, Clci":31; 1863.
GRIITLRMIM f In deference to your suggestion
that the letter of BishoptHopkins, addraseed to the
head of title Diocese, under date of Burlington, Vt.,
Oct. 5, 1863, may, if unnoticed, inflict yet greater in
jury upon the church thau'dtd his former cue to cer
tain political leaders in this city, by 0011 , 7C2i12 , 7, , the
idea that the clergy of this diocese, with thirßiihop
at their front, have been betrayed into unbecroming
passion, have overstepped tire limit of ministerial
duty, and have treated an ageall bishop of the church
with indreorum, I yield to you.erequest and emceed
-to explain the circumstances under which a" - Pro-'
test" was issued to which I hadethe privilege of 'af
fixing my name. I had thought that the Manifest
irritation under which the letter of Bishop Hcipkenit
was written would render it harrareas, and protect
the venerable man to whom it was directed from
any acceptance by the public of the imputationt'elt
flings upon him and his clergy.
Yon have not requested me, nor do I now desipe
to enter into the subject at large. I will confine
Myself to the two questions brought before me hit
your note r -Why did the clergy deer it incumbent -,
on them to protest against -the doctrine of Bishop
Hopkins' letter, and why did they do' .it with- such
force of expreseionl Of course you do not ask
.from an individual what motives influenced one
- and another to sign that paper, but rather what
were the general considerations which operated
• upon the minds of those who - in concert decided
that such a document must be prepareS and pre-
sented to their brethren for signature. ,I may pre
mime that the suggestion that such action. was de
manded did not emanate from a single mind. It'
was the spontaneous and concurrent impulse Sof
many. Bishop Hopkins and his friends have dealt
with it as if one had originated the 'protese r and all
others had signed it in dutiful conformity with him.
In that conceit they have been in error.
I think I may safely say that all acted "more in
sorrow than in anger." To - some the signineeof that
protest was the most painful duty that they ever felt
constrained to perform. Bishop Hopkins was once
an honored Presbyter of this Diocese; there are
clergymen still Ins service here who remember him
as such. He was many years ago a candidate for the
Episcopal office here, and came within one vote of
being elected.- In the absence of our Diocesan, be
fore the consecration of Bishop Bowman as assist
ant, he performed official service in many of our
parishes, and -with great acceptance.' He is one of
the senior bishops of the American Church, and has
presided its general convention. Many of us
have, in view of all these eireueestanaes, and of his
benignant manners, his diversified talents, and large
acquirements,-held him in moat respectful and affee.
Donate regard. The fact of his eminence and of his
past relations with this Diocese increased the pain
lulness, but enhanced- also the duty of protesting,
when this venerable man flooded the scenes of his
former usefulness and honor with teachings on a.
question of social morals,. which the clergy of the
Diocese; with scarce an excepteion, esteem unecrip
tural and daegerous.
Surprise has been- expremed that the clergy of
Pennsylvania did not (If they esteem the doctrines
of Bishop Hopkins on slavery so objectionable) re•
pudiate them-before, seeing that every word of this
ebnoxious letter, with "many more like words,"
had been printed in New York nearly three • years
ago. It was printed; indeed ; bet, if I am rightly
informed, it was not really published. Sept for re
stricted - distribution in the quarters where the
shrewd men who had called it forth could make it
subeerve their purpose ' it could not be found by.
those who did not relish and were not likely to be
carried captiveby its sophistries. Moat of ui did not
know of the existence of his letter to Messrs. Have
meyer and others, of New York, until, it was un
earthed by Messrs. Wharton, Biddle, and others; of
this city.
Besides, the very first line of the "Protest" al
leges-the "extensive circulation of theletter in this
Diocese" to be the consideration which compels the
signers who are exercising- their ministry here, to
protest against its doctrines.. Had the Bishop dis
semmated such a missive, as-a pastoral in his own
Diocese of Vermont, it would have been very imper
tinent for Pennsylvanians-to have protested against
it. The two great Dioceses of New York, where the
first, the entire, unexpurgated' edition, was printed,
bad watchmen enough upon their walls to leave us
(bad we known of the former issue) free from any
obligation to sound an alarm. HMO when the poi
son was brought into our-own-bordere, and diffused
somewhat secretly into the place where we are
charged with the care ofsouls e that we repelled it as
an unwholesome thing. A-large edition from t.the
press in this city was soon disposed Of by the politi
cal club 'which issued it, and then a second from New
York, endorsed on the back,," papers from the aocie
•ety-for the diteursion'of political-knewledge." ' -
Neither would it have been incumbent upon us,
as a body of clergy, to notice Bishop Hopkineletter,
if it had concerned a naked political question. But
in it are involved moral issues of the gravest sort.
He draws his weapons wherewith. to fight (we be
lieve unwittingly)the battle of the Oppressor (who
is Apollyon) , trom the armory of the Lord. His
letter is entitled, by himself Or his publishers, "Bible
View of Slavery." One has suggested that it might
be more fitly called "Slavery's View of the Bible."
We think in -this production he has, as men have
often done before, "wrested Seriptiire , from its
proper use and meaning, and employed it to bolster
up a monstrous iniquity. We could not keep silence
and be faithful to our trust. * * -
The issue of his letter was made at a juncture
when it was likely to effect the greatest amount of
practical mischief. It was used by the persons to
whom it was addressed as an engine or partisan
power. A leader in the Lord's host was mustered
into the service of a political cabal. Nen were
likely to be perverted from their loyalty to "the
powers that be," by the conceit, which his ingenuity
might foist upon them, that religion favors the
principle, and, therefore, the act of rebellion. Thus
invaded in our civil sphere (which, at the present
crisis, is concentric with our spiritual cure), we
could do nothing for the rescue of our people-from
this politico-religious delusion but protest.
Bishop Hopkins says, in his letter to the • Bishop
of this diocese, that he did not suppose that the re
print of his essay entitled " Bible View of Slavery."
when be put it at the disposal of Messrs. Geo. N.
Wharton, Chas. J. Biddle,
and others of like repu,
tation; was to be used in the service of any politi
cal party. He might surely, without unbecoming,
jealousy, have suspected - as much, after the use
which had been made of the first and complete- edi
tion of the same letter by the confreres of these-gen--
tlemen in New York. Re certainly knew it after
wards, when its distribution was in prokress, and-did
not deprecate; but in his October letter virtually
sanctioned such use of his production : "Although
not a native to the manor born,' he had now-lived
among the Yankees for thirty years ; his neighbors
sometimes guess shrewdly things which they will
not venture to say they. know." -

Let it be further remembered, while inquiring why
any counter expression was deemed necessary, that
while Bishop Hopkins and, at least, one distin
guished presbyter at the North, have written elabo—
rately in defence of Southern slavery, no publication
against the institution has proceeded from the pen of
any dignitary or eminent presbyter of the church.
In view of these facts, the clergy of this diocese.
could not fai] to.apprehend that the letter of Bishop
Hopkins, industriously spread throughout our bor
ders, would be urged and accepted by many as ex
'pressing the sense of the Protestant Episcopal,
Church in the Northern States on that great ques
tion which is now shaking the continent ; they could
not forbear to protest against the intrusion of these
views into a. diocese of which he is not in charge, as
an outrage and an inconsistency of a very marked
'oh erecter.
The Bishop has complained that he has been in
sulted and misrepresented by the terms of the Pro
test. No man who signed it, is capable of intending
to do either of these wrongs ; none is conscious of
having committed either, now that it has been
charged. They all meant to speak calmly, truthfully,
and plainly. *
*
It Is the misfortune of some men that they never
change. They learn nothing from the unfolding of
Divine Providence. Not only the principles, but
the policies of the past they hold sacred. But al
though they refuse to recognize the progress of
mankind, and insist upon " putting new wine into
old bottles," they do often present aspects of charac
ter amazingly diverse. Far be it from me to allege
that the Bishop of Vermont is of that oast-iron
mould; but surely no man ever presented greater
contrast of character than he, when descending from
the pulpit, where, with silvery voice and apostolic
look, and benignant spirit, he has spoken of the law
of Jesus, 'he enters into hie study, and with all the
subtlety of a casuist, proceeds to defend out of the
Bible a cruel,system- of bondage, in which human
beings, sprinkled with the blood of Christ, are
bought and sold, regardless of family ties, corrupted
at will, beaten without measure or redress, at the
hands of their fellow Christians. They, who have
known and honored and loved this golden-mouthed
preacher, on 'witnessing, and being made to feel in
their own pastoral spheres, this strange and cruel
perversion of his noble powers, can but retortupon
him his Virgilian verse, "Quanto Mutatus abillo"
and protest, against an attempt so "unworthy the
servant of Jesus Christ," which they have always
accounted him to be.
The protestrioes not impugn the Christian char/in
ter of Bishopllppkins, nor assert that he has con
soiously.or with malice prepense committed an un
worthy act. Christian men, in the infirmity of their
carnal . nature, - do, from time to time, deeds over
which angels weep, and sometimes, under a mental
delusion persist in them and justify them for a while
without malting shipwreck of faith and a good con
science. They who protested against the Bishop's
missive as out of place in this diocese, and declared
his attempt to advocate slavery as it exists in the
Cotton States to be,-in their judgment, unworthy of
any servant of Jesus Christ, expressed but their opi
nion of this individual act, not of the man front
whomit proceeded, nor of the motive which prompt
ed him to do it. Surely the Bishop of Vermont ex
ercised as great a liberty Of expression when he in
dite d his letter of October sth.* '
I submit that the.deeignation by the protesters of
Bishop Hopkina' ." attempt," as in their judgment
RD " unworthy" act, was not insulting or unchari
table, but simple plain and honest, such as they had
a Christian right to afllx to it, and such as he, under
the aggravated circumstances of the case, ought to
have expected. .
But the Bishop complains that he has been mis
represented in that final sentence of the protest
in which his letter to certain pro-slavery politicians
ic characterized "as an effort to sustain on. Bible
principles the States in rebellion in their wicked at
tempt to establish, by force of arms, a tyranny, in
the name of a republic, whose corner-stone shall be
perpetual bondage of the African," and which the
protesters declare " challenges their indignant repro
bati on." .
With a tone of injured innocence, the Bishop pro
cerds to demonstrate, in his, way, that such an effort
could not have been contemplated by him, seeing
that his letter was first published in Sanuary, 1861,
more than three months before the war began, at a
*ln Bishop Hopkins' letter to Bishop Potter he charges
him with gross Insult against his senior," and with
" the more serious offence of false accusation;" " with
framing a bitter denunciation "with duplicity or ter
given:allm in having once exchanged hospitalities with
smtebolders, and taking excellent oars, if he then
ought as he thinks now, that no DM among his South
ern friends thould know it." I prlsume he could not

of fairness and courtesy," frcm Which I e charges that

Further, will it be believed, after such a virtual
disclaimer of all thought of sustatning "the'States'
in rebellion in their wicked attempt," that a consi
derable portion of that very letter was devoted'eb an
argument " that the Southern Stater have a right to

is a bad Christian who wavers in his faith because a.
hundred generations have passed away, and " all ,
these things" are not yet "fulfilled.""
You will succeed, my friends, to-morrow. , I knott ,
you will succeed by signs other- than those which
excite your own hopes of success.. The country la
in danger-it:-is to be rescued by-.the Government.
You will succeed, because youvote-for-the Govern
ment in voting to sustain the Administration. Ybur
opponents commit the fatal error of-supposing. that
they can divide the Administration from the Govern
ment, and support the one and discard the other.
-No man can serve two masters. Consider thie point
for a moment. It is only through the Administra
tion that the country can put. forth-the effort neces
sary for its rescue. If you discard this- Administea-
Son of the Government by your votes, you bring - no
new or better one to its -place. You then have prac
tically an interregnum from this time to the 4th of
March, 1865. An interregnum of- sixteen months-in
the very crisis of rebellion. You would repeat even
in a more dangerous way the great, though then un
avoidable, misfortune of the interregeum which was
produced by the election of Abraham Lincoln in
1860, leaving James Buchanan in the Presidency un
til the 4th of March,lB6l. , During all that period
the ship of state necessarily and unavoidably drifted
and dashed ,itself against the rocks of it-lee shore.
The American people are not going to oommit so
great an error now.
You have friends in arms at home-defending the
Government and the country. Every man who meets
the enemy in battle knows what he is fighting for.
He is fighting for the country.--'Passe the ballot-box
I through the Union camps or give the soldier a pass
to reach the ballothox-at ' his home,-studrhe votes as
he fights, for his country and the.. Administration,
which he sees is identified with' his- country. You
have friends in Europe, The great:mase of society
on the continent, from the White Sea , tel the Medi
terranean, from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, are
the friends of the United- States. The great mass'
of society in America, from the Rio .Grande to Cape
Horn, are the friends of-the - United , States. Send
the ballot box• through- all those regions, and the
votes would be counted ten thousand to one - for
Abraham Lincoln and against Seymour and-Vallan
dight,m. The instinct of- dispassion-ad, disinterested
frier ds is infallible. -
Our opponents do not see this. They do not see it,
because they have surrendered themselves. up to fac
tion. But I will show them bow they can see it.
There are 200,000‘ American citizens in arms in the
Southern Stateelwainst theincountry. They look
to the election of to-morrow with more solicitude
than they do to the defence of Charleston or the
siege of Chattanooga. If you , could pass the ballot
box throng% their camps, evmy man of them would
vote for the administration of this Government by
Horatio Seymour or Vallandigham; and against the
Administration of- Abraham Lincoln. You have
en envies in certain classes.ol society all over Europe.
They are fitting out a navy and privateers for the
American insurgents. If the ballot-boxes could be
opened at Laird's ship-pi/Ain Liverpool, or in John
Slidell's house in Paris, there would be a unanimous.
vote for Seymour and Valiandigham, and new iron•.
clads would escape from under the broad arrow, in
armor impregnable, in array innumerable, and you
would have superadded3 to this terrible struggle upon
land a more tremendow contest than the world has
ever seen upon the high seas; The instinct of ene
mica is infallible. •
But I must not forget that our opponents object to,
allowing soldiers to go home to vote.
The objection is disloyal as well as ungrateful, and
is therefore a crime. If the soldier ought not to be.
allowed a furlough to reach the bailotbox, why did
Gov. Seymour refuse to allow the ballot-box to go
into the camp 1 He answers that it is unconstitu
tional. Why, them, ot)ject, to the soldiers going home.
to, vote] That is not unconstitutional. They do,
not mean to quarrel with the manner of the sol
diers, voting ; they seek to deprive him of his vote
altogether. They allow the soldier. to fight for his.
country, because they cannot help it, but they seek
to deprive him of the privilege of voting for it. be
cause by clamor they think they can prevent it.
Who are these soldiers who, have come home to ,
vote? Every man of them is -a citizen and an elec
tor. There is not an unwilling or involuntary sol
dier or conscript among them. They are your
sons and brothers and mine, as intelligent, as
well trained as we or their opponents, better
entitled to vote than you or 1, for they have
gone forward to the battle, while we have been con
tent with staying at home and making contributions,
meritorious in themselves, but, nevertheless, contri
butions in money instead of blood. Not allow' the
soldier to vote for the Government t You saw what
came of it by refusing to allow him his vote last year.
You voted the Government down in his absence, and
then were obliged to call the soldier from the front,
in face of the enemy, back to, the State, to restore
peace, order, and safety at home. Not allowthe sol
dier to vote lies the soldier only the rights to lan
guish in the hospital, to die on the battle-field, and
to be carried into captivity t Is this the sum of the
soldier's rights I I tell you no. I tell you that the
soldiers of this war will vote, some thousands of
them to.morrow—many more thousands every year
hereafter—and they will sit in judgment upon parties
in this country throughout two generations, - and de
termine the verdict of posterity in regard to them.
I have another ground for knowing that you will
succeed tomorrow. You have the right side upon a
plain, practical, simple issue. Our opponents do not
see this; they have suffered faction to blind them.
They say that they are voting down this Administtra
lion, because it is incompetent and ought never to
have been elected. They say, again, that they are
voting to decide the ,Presidential question of 1864.
They are doing no suoh thing. Abraham Lincoln
was elected in 1860 to be President of the United
States four years, viz: from the 4th of March,
1861, to the 4th of March, 1865, fairly, justly, hono
rably, constitutionally elected. The question is
not whether he ought to have been elected, in
1860; that was settled in the election of 1860,
and is irreversible. The question is not whether
he or any person connected with his Administra
tion shall be elected in 1864. That will be settled
in the 'election of 1864. Abraham Lincoln was
• electedin 1860 to be President, not of a part, but of
the whole of the United States ; but he has been
forcibly kept out of a part of ~ the United States—
Lolutiena, Virginia, Worth Carolina, South Caro.
Tina, Georgia, and other Gulf States. In those
States he is President de jure, but not de facto. The
object of this election is the object of the war. It Ix
to make Abraham Lincoln President de facto from
1660 to 1864 in Georgia, South Carolina, and other
'Gulf-States, as be to President de facto in-Massachu
setts, New York, and Ohio.

legitimate fruit of their own "crimes-; but it was
fruit ordained not by man, but of God. Without
seeking to divine His ways, I think that the future -

The sympathizers with the Confederates tell us of
debt, taxes, and blood. as 'ever sovereignty and
freedom saved without the expenditure of money
and Of life? It is the lot appointed to nations to en.
dure war with its evile, as well as to enjoy at in
tervals peace and prosperity- Who caused the debts,
thetaxes, and the shedding of blood? The Cannon
ade of Sumpter answers the whole question at once.
In -a' conflict like this the question is not oneof
abstract suffering, but which of the contending
parties adffers most. - Viewed in this light the whole
of the suffering which the war has produced has
fallen upon theinsurgents, and the loyal part of the
United States is exempt. In the insurgent States
there is not one citizen who is not the poorer and
the more unhappy for the war. In the loyal regions
there is not a State which is not stronger, nor a
citiaen who is not the tither for the seine cause.
The increase of wealth which arises from the new
national discipline of industry which the war has
obliged us to adopt, has enabled us to pay all'iu
creased debts and taxes as easily as we paid the
debts and taxes 'existing when the war began. Nor
must we forget that it is only a question of whose
debts and whose taxes we shall pay—not whether
we shall pay any. We pay either the debts and
taxes of. Abraham Lincoln and his Administration,
or the debts and taxes of Jefferson Davis and Hobt.
P. Toombs. In the one case we have an equivalent
of dollar for dollar for what we pay, and the greater
equivalent of national safety and honor. In the
other care we pay twelve dollars in Confederate
money for one dollar of gold, with the additional
loss of eternal disgrace and ruin.
Fellow citizens, forty-seven is so near to fifty that
we may use round numbers. Fifty years aro, then,
I first saw and ascended the Hudson river. For
forty-six years it was a constant study through the
agency of that river, and artificial extensions of it
to the lakes and the Mississippi, to fortify the Union
and develop the greatness and prosperity of the
American people. Every succeeding year revealed
new, enlarged, and gratifying success of that policy,
until the year 1860. Then, on- my way to thisak
tonal capital, I descended the - Erie.canal andslllll
Budeon river. I surveyed the cities that had grown
up on their banks with wonder, and the vast coma
coerce that floated on their waters with admiration.
But then there was the alarm, mutterings loud and
deep, threatening civil war and revolution. I was
obliged to try to apprehend, to grasp this danger, if
I could, and grasp it with all its magnitude and ter- -
rors. What is revolution? It is the subversion of
all this trade, all this prosperity. and:all this happi
ness, and the substitution in its place of scenes of
blood and universal desolation. I •said to myself--
Is this inevitable? It is in one case, was the an
swer. The.Demoeratic party throughout the United
Statea, which has virtually held the reins of Govern..
went for half a century, has been overthrown by a
constitutional majority, in the election. In the
name and.in behalf of that party, its -disappointed
chiefs have refused submission.and resorted to civil
war. If the Democratic party °lathe- United state*

section, civil war is inevitable,
and a ferocious,_
bloody, all-pervading revolution is indefinitely fas
tened upon the nation. That revolution will then
end in successful invasion and pacification under a
. foreign conqueror. What shallbe done in this emer
gency The answer was obvious. Prevent it by
appeals to the patriotism of all parties, and a surren
der of all their conflicting iuteresti, prejudices, and
passions to the common safety. This enable us
to ptevent a revolution if possible, to meet and con
quer it if we must. Will these means prevent it? I
know not. This is of the kaowledge which God re
tains. to himself. He indicates the means, and
withholds fbr the tilal.of our virtue the results.
But we shall not long be left without indications.

wished, but as soon, we may believe, as was best for.

nothing left to complete the great and painful drama
but that which cannot be long delayed, the stibnite

peace. And what a peace may we not expect that
to be! A peace that establishes forefer the practi

Government; the immediate or ultimate restoration
of four millions of bondsmen to freedom ; the secu

evils of internal anarchy and foreign aggression.
The angels in Heaven might tune their harps to the
symphony of such a peace.
Letter from General Rosecrans.
The following is an extract from a strictly private
let er received here from General Roseanne to day.
I have no right to make it public, but I,venture tG
take the responsibility:
"As to, my removal from 'the command of the
Army of the Cumberland, I have only to say that I
pray God that the country may be as well and better
seived by another. -As for the infamous lies which
are put forth through the press to blast my reputa
tion, such as disabling mental disease, the use of
opium, disobedience of orders, in not advancing
when ordered, &c., ha., if I thought they came from
our Government I would despair of a nation headed
by such a Government. That the people will accept
them, or that God will prosper their authors, Ido
not believe✓ Personally, I commend myself to the
just and merciful One, who knows what is for the
beat for me."—Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.
A POLITICAL COLONEL.—There is a lieutenant
colonel in the army with so many political sides that
he never strikes a friend amiss. If the acquaintance
he meets today chance to be a Copperhead, he is
with han—Copperhead to the very marrow bones.
Tomorrow, if he chance to meet an ultra Aboli
tionist, be 6---ns the Copperheads and goes the
wtole engine for freedom and the proclamation. He
an be a conservative Democrat or a modified Re
publican with a great facility. His brother officers
try° set him down as a Copperhead of the rankest
kind, nor have they seen anything in his conduct
during the war to change that opinion. The last
heAld of this political phantasmagorian, a general,
with abolition tendencies, was vouching for him as
a Republican of unquestionable character.—Wash,
