The Observance or Sunday.
One of the tenets of tbo earlj New
England colonists, moat religiously obser
ved by tbem both publiclj and privately,
wasa total cessation from all labor, gave
that of the most obvious necemty, on the
day kept by the great generality of
adherents to the Christian religion as the
weekly anniversary of the resurrection of
the Savior. Their practice, in this respect
was never dissented from by those who
from time to time broke from their
teachings in other points of faith or
custom. The majority of the people in
the -Colonies noT known as the Middle
nd the Southern States, observed the
tday with barely less cesfatnn from all
secular employment than was to be found
in New England. As the Eastern States
sent their emigrants, anxious tu ameliorate
their condition, to people the prairies of
the West, they carried with them the
strict regard they had learned in their
youth for this best of all anniversary days.
Thus the strict observance of Sunday, and
the enforcing of that observance by law,
has becomo as much a part of the settled
customs of tho American people as the
right of free speech and the liberty of
the press have of her constitutions and
lairs. Yet with a Etrict regard for the
rights of all, no man is forced to worship
on that or any other day, nor hindered
from regarding any other as equally
sacred, but each person is simply required
to abstain from his daily labors, to afford
rest to beasts of burden, and opportunity
of unmolested worship to those around him.
Of late years, however, parties formida
ble in numbers and influence, composed
chiefly of persoos of foreign nativity who
have been accustomed to regard Sunday
as much a day of festivity as of worship
and repose, have arisen in some of our
large cities and demanded a relaxation of
the stringency of the law. In our own
State, this demand has been made during
the present winter and was embodied in
an act to allow street cars to be run on
Sunday in the city of Philadelphia as on
the remaining days of the week. The
bill was defeated, but the influence of
those whv? asked for its epactnjeot may be
fairly measured when we state that it
received tho approbation and vote in both
branches of our Legislature of every
member from Philadelphia save one.
During the discussion of this proposed
measure, it was said by one of the leading
members of the Senate that the observance
cf the Sabbath is part of the Common
Law of England and the United States,
and that it is not local in its character
and application, and could not be decided
upon by citizens at a local election. The
words of the Senator embody the usually
accepted view taken of the law regarding
the observance of the day in question,
whether or not the correct view. The
faots of the case and the truth of history
in regard to the enforced observance of
Sunday we believe to be as follow : The
union of church and State in England
gave rise to the doctrine that Christianity
is part of the Common Law of England,
a doctrine by virtuo of which it was
lawful in even the earliest times of En
glish history to convict persons of heresy.
As part of this doctrine, or at least as a
consequence of it, the observance of
Sunday was enjoined upon every subject
of the realm. The desecration of it is
described as the "Profanation of the
Lord's day, vulgarly (but improperly)
called Sabbath-breaking," and is rated as
the "ninth offence against God and relig
ion, punished by the municipal law of
England." But the law of England never
required, and apparently never sought,
that cioaC regard for the day which has
been establish'-! in America, but allowed
'innocent recreation arid amusement,"
and viewed the day "as a timo for relaxa
tion and refreshment as well as for public
worship."
In 1777, the Common Law of England
was mado tho law of Pennsylvania, save
wherein it was changed, repealed by, or
was in conflict with the law or Constitution
of the State or of tho United States.' By
virtue of this act of 1777, it is held by
many that the Christian Ilcligicn and the
observance of Sunday are parts of the
common law of the land. In 1749, the
Legislature paesed an a-t prohibiting any
worldly employment or bincss or any
amusements on that day, wbie) i in force
to this time. If Suuday is to bo observed
by virtue of the common law, then the
act of 1794 was simply a re-enactment of
what was already law, adding Eomewhat
to its stringency.
The whole question has been before the
Supreme Court of the State more than
once, and :hc provitions of the law of
17S4 and the rca?oa of it have been fully
argued before and by that tribunal. In a
case originating in Franklin county, and
aken finally to the Supreme Court, (found
iAisl Birr p 31?) the unconstitutionality
of the law was maintained by able and
eminent counsel, because the observance
required was a religious observance, and
to enforce such an observance of any day
was violation of our fundamental law.
But the court, in their decision affirming
tho validity of the law, declared that the
observance required by the Legislature
was of a civil, and not a religion, character.
The court said : "In a christian com
munity, where a very large majority of
tho people celebrate the first day of tho
week as their chosen period of rest from
labor, it is not surprising that that day
should have received the legislative
sanction ; and as it is also devoted to
religious observances, we are prepared to
estimate the reason why the statute Bhould
speak of it as the Lord's day, and denom
inate the infraction of its legalized rest a
profanation. Yet this does not change
the character of the enactment. It is
still, essentially, but a civil regulation
made tor the government of man as a
member of society, and obedience to it
may be enforced by penal actions." From
this decision, but one of the Judges dis
sented, although concurring in the con
stitutionality of the law. The ground of
his dissent was, that the observance was
of a religiouscharacter, and "not because
of the mere usefulness of the day as a day
of rest and cessation from worldly labor."
How the decision of the Supreme Court
and the character of the day as established
at common law can stand together, we
fail to apprehend. To say that "Sunday
is part of the common law," and that "the
christian religion is part of our common
law," appears at first glimpse to utter two
very pious ejaculations that will prove
mightily acceptable to virtuous and relig
ious people who fail to perceive that the
establishment of such views is neither
more nor less than the union of church
and State. By common law, Sunday is a
day to bo observed as a part of the Na
tional religion. An infraction of it ia
puuished as an offence against religion as
established by the State, and not as an
offence against a mere civil requirement.
If it is true that Sunday is part of our
common law, then the Christian religion is
also part of it, and either the declaration
is an absurdity or the Legislature may,
whenever it elects so to do, declare in
what the Christian religion consists, and
as all who do not obey it accordingly are
violaters of the law, they may be punished
as such. Thus would be inaugurated the
days ot the fagcot and the rack. The
true and constitutional view is that the
requirement to observe Sunday is a civil
requirement. As such, let us maintain it,
and enforce it in the future as in the past.
Tt'ade Hampton.
Although the speech recently delivered
by Wade Hampton at Columbus, South
Carolina, upon the invitation of the
colored people of that section, contains
much good sense, and shows much more
wisdom than is shown iu the majority of
the speeches of the Southern leaders, yet
the chief ideas in it are that the Southern
people are and will be truer friends to
the negro than the people of the North,
and that the negro should be a Southern
man in all his aspirations, friendships,
and sympathies. Said he :
''I want to make you feel that you are
Southern men, with all your hopes, your feel
ings, and your interests identified with the
South, for that is the true position for you
to occupy."
In some Northern cities, Democratic
influence is so potent as to exclude colored
people from riding in street or other cars
with the whites. The recent action of
our own Legislature abolishing this dis
tinction in Philadelphia met with the
undivided opposition of the Democratic
Senators and Representatives. Here is
what Wade Hampton eays of such distinc
tions. We commend his words to our
Democratic friends :
"A curious instance of this prejudice caine
under ni own observation some years ago in
Philadelphia. Passing through that city, I
ba-d with me two servants for whom full fare
was charged on the railroad ; but the ticket
agent told me that they would not be allowed
to ride in the same car with myself, as the
people there 'did not like to ride with ne
groes.' 'But,' sajd I, 'yon make me pay
full price for them, and one ot them is the
nurse of my cl.ildren.' 'That makes no
difference,' be replied, 'you can't take them
into the car.' I told bim that I had paid
their fare; that I thought tbera good enough
to ride with me, and therefore quite good
enough to ride with his fellow-citizens, and
that they should get into my car. b'o I
brought them in and kept them there."
On tho suffrage question, be is far
enough in advance of Northern Democra
cy. Ho ead :
4,I am willing to give the right of suffrage
to all who can read and pay a certain amount
of taxes, and I agree that all, white as well
as black, who do not possess these qualifica
tions, Bhould be excluded. ' I would not take
this right from any who have hitherto exer
cised it, but I wish to see an educational and
property qualification for voters adopted for
he tttture. Let this qualification bear on
white and black alike, and while :t will cut
off fron-. voting ot both races, it will be a
strong inducement to all to 6eek education
and to obtain for themselves a real and tan
gible interest in the State. It will srve to
elevate all classes, and contribute not only to
the material prosperity of. the State, but to
tb increase of virtue- end education among
her ptopi."

Gen. Ltonstrect's Advice.
Ex-rebel-Generai James Longglreet has
written the following fen&ible letter on
the political situation to tbo editor of the
New Orleans Times:
"New Orleans, March 18, 1867. In
your paper ot yesterday you have express
ed a desire to hear the views of several
gentlemen upon the political condition of
the country. I find my name mentioned
among the list, and proceed without hesi
tation to respond. As I have never ap
plied myself to politic? I cannot claim to
speak to the wise statesmen of the country,
who are devoting their energies to the
solution of the problem which agitatea
the public mind. I can only speak the
plain, honest convictions of a soldier. It
can hardly be necessary, at this late day,
to enter into a discussion of matters that
are usually brought up in arguing upon
tho proposed plan of reconstructing the
government. Indeed, I think that many
of them are not pertinent to the question.
The striking feature, and the one that our
people should keep in view, is that we are
a conquered people, Recognizing this
fact fairly and 6quarely, there is but one
course left for wise men to pursue, and
that is to accept the terms that are now
offered us by the conquerors. There can
bo no discredit to conquered people for
accepting the conditions offered by their
conquerors, nor is there any occasion for
a feeling of humiliation. We made an
honest, and I hope I may say a creditable,
fight,' but wo have lost. Let us come
forward, then, and accept the ends in
volved in the struggle. Our people ear
nestly desire that the constitutional gov
ernment shall be re-established, and the
only means to accomplish this is to comply
with the requirements of the recent Con
gressional legislation. It is (aid by some
that Congress will not receive us even
after we-have complied with their condi
tions, but I can find no reason for enter
taining this proposition for a moment. I
cannot admit that the representative men
of a great nation could make such a pledge
in bad faith. Admitting, however, that
there is such a mental reservation, can
that be any excuse for us in failing to
discharge our duty 1 Let us accept the
terms, as we arc in duty bound to do, and
if there i9 a lack of good faith let it be
upon others. Very respectfully, &c,
"James Longstbeet."
Prior to the adjournment of the For
tieth Congress, lion.D. J. Morrell, rep
resentative from this district, introduced
a bill into the House providing for a
gradual return to epecie paymonts. The
New York Tribune condemns the measure
severely, while the New York Herald on
the other hand praises it.

of March 22d J
"Andrew Johnson has at last yielded.
Thank God for it 1 II- has done us an
immense deal of barm ; crippled us when
our armies were in the field rejected the
terms Grant and Sherman gave us; and
then, at last, has kept sectional hate and
animosity stirred np against us by his
unwise course and his foolish conflict with
Congress and Northern sentiment.
"And now we hope President Johnson's
opposition to the Government will cease,
lie has opposed it so long, and induced
our people to oppose it bo long, holding
out to us the false idea that be would do
something for us, that he has done ua
infinitely more harm than all other men
and all other causes combined. But for
him re would long ago have been admit- j
ted into the Union, and upon far better
terms than we shall now be able to obtain.
He has been the most effective enemy we
have had.
"In the first place, his influence was
great xn arraying the border States against
us. He was one of the moat earnest sup
porters of the war waged upon us. He
refused us the terms given us by the gen
erosity and magnanimity of Grant and
Sherman ; and last, though not least, he
has, by his course, kept Northern preju
dice and hatred constantly excited against
us. Save us from our friend Johnson !
"Commencing his official career as Vice
President by an excessively postprandial
speech afterward, as President, indulging
in such spouting tirades to the populace
of the Federal capital as should not be
used even upon the hustings, he excited
the frenzy of the Northern people against
the Southerners, whose cause he prof essed
to advocate."
