that sooner than do anyiting to fostef a

side, I would boro my tongtto through
with a hot iron, and lay my right hand
upon the block to bo eovered from my
body. Yrs, let it be understood onoo for
all that this parish, so long as it oontinucs
in my charge, is iu tho speoial interest of
no paity, or clique, or set of men, wheth
er in Cliurolt or Stato; that it bears no
distinctive complexion with regard to polit
ical affairs on ono side or the other ; that
no man or woman, old or young, trill bo
permitted to prescribe what sort of people
shall bo admitted to its privileges, or what
excluded from them ; and that whatever
may be the sympathies of individuals with
reference to the topios of ihe day, it will
make no difference as to their position
hoic as worshippers of the samo God and
heirs of the same promises. I cm nd
friend to a tyrannous proscription for mcro
opinion's sake, nor cau I consent to be the
instrument through which it shall bo
brought to bear on tho members of Christ's
family. Such is lho platform on which
this pariah has been conducted heretofore,
and on which, God helping me, it shall be
conducted in the future. I believo it to

Tho New" York Expreit of Thursday
relates tho following :
''Yestordoy afternoon thero oocurrod an
exoiting inoidont on dno of th Third Avo-
nue cars on an cp-town trip'. Two genllo
mon of oppotiito politio'i Linooln and Mc
Clellan who were psascngors, wero seat
ed sida by side, and wero discussing tho
affairs of tho day tho war particularly
in a Sarin but rtrien'dly manner. The lat
ter was oandid in his hopes that McClel
lan would be eleoted, tho war oeaso and
the Union bo restored. The former liko
Old Abe, could boo nothing bright in ths
futurd Until slavery vtai abolished or tho
whole South exterminated. If it took bhc
last man and the last dollar, said he, the
war must go on to tho bitter end. He was
extremely violont in hi' manner, gestures
and boks. By his side at a plainly dnis
ed, respectable looking woman, whoihow
ed oonsiderablo agitation whilo tho Lin
coln fanatlo thus raved. She had watchod
him closely from the btfjifJfjing, and her
ears evidently drank iii every wrathful
word he uttered. But when he excl, :mcd
that every man must suffer in the cause ot
tho negro, alio sprung from htr seat a
quickly as a tigress, and dealt blotf rvftor
blow upon the face and noso of tho up
lucky Lincolnito. Blood spirted over tho
floor of the oar, and tho soustuion created
by the extraordinary aot caused great ex
citement among tho pasncDgers, ambng
whom wero many ladico.
The coudttctor was thunderstruck, and
scarcely knew what 10 do. First hs starts
ed for the beligorsnt female ; then he halt
ed, and pulled thu strtp to ring the bell ;
and fiually ho mado a dash at tho bclige
rent female, who kept punishing the of
fending Republican, exclaiming once in a
while, "you want war; you have it right
here at homo," ntid then followed a so
veror blow still. Finally she was drawn
off, and the sufferer, with his pocketband
kerchief to his bleeding noso, beat a re
treat, and reaohing tho sidewalk, perform
ed iniraolas in tho way he footed it down
tlie 'inird Avenue.
After quiet was restorod,and the oar was
proceeding up town, tho assailant exoused
herself for her unwarrantable oonduot by
saving that she iiutl til res J? lost her hus
band and one son in this war, and thatshb
bad still two sons in the army, and sho
felt felt that no one must intiraato before
her that tho other two tiust aacridoe their
lives also, and leave her alone in the world
to satisfy the fanaticism of the hour.

The Philadelphia Ledger is a newspa
per which caters to tha taste of its read
ers under the garb of neutrality. Every
other newspaper is disloyal or loyal, as it
agrees or differs with it. It has a largo
circulation, a very eot.jidcrablo influencej
and is paiticularly oarcful respecting any
admissions mado iu its columns touching
current events. Its owners are good Dem
ocrats its conductors are Shoddy. Wo
mako theso remark' because wo teo in its
correspondence and editorials a "sign in
the wiud'' whioh prosagca a very good
tima for tht) Dcmooraoy in November.
In its Washington correspondence wo
havo written :
"The nomination of McClellan met with
no special reception it has been antici
pated for months. M.tuy regret, and thou
sands more will regret, that he is not pos
sessed of more experience for to impor
tant a ponitiou, as it is cvidcut, if elected,
othors will have to counsel and advise him
as to the proper courso to' pursue upon the
tremendous issues that will be presented
boforo him. Ouo of ihiso advisers will,
no doubt, bo Judgo Woodward, of your
State, between whom und Gun. McClellan
there exists a friendship lasting as death.
"Tbo platform is regarded hero as an
otU'Ulid'OUt peace instrument. There is
not a breath ot war in it from hrst to last,
and on its face it gives indications that the
party is willing to nuvko tho bast terms
possible with the rebel authorith't It is
not generally beliefed, however, thatauoh
will bo the ease. Th Dpraooracy, if sue
ceasful in Novomber, and the war U no'
closed by tho 4th of March, will no doul i
offer to tbo South a return to the Union,
with all its rights under tho Constitution
guaranteed ; but this persistently refused,
then tho war lJor ihe restoration of tha
Union" will go on. Under this bauuer,if
is beliovodj all tho troops necessary could
bo raited, where now it is found difficult
to fill any quota without reoourao t? r
dr-aft."
