ELOQUENT Seamen.—On last, Sabbath even
ing, Rev. S. H. REID, preached in the Presby
terian Church of this place, to a very large and
attentive audience. His subject was the refu
sal of the three Jewish youths to bow down to
the image which Nebuchadnezzar in his sinful
and unholy pride, had set up for adoration.—
The discourse was divided into two general
beads, showing the difference in Christians from
principle and those who embrace the creed
from motives of policy. He showed that our
duty to the laws of our God, should never be
forgotten ; that where civil law conflicted with
hod's law, our path of duty was simply to op.
pose such law, in the manner, spirit, and with
the energetic decision of these Jewish youths.
The whole discourse occupied an hour in its
delivery, ale' never was an hour more profita
bly and agreeably passed with us, and we be.
here with the entire audience. Rev. Reid al•
ways prenchei eloquent sermons, but on this
occasion, lie went fat bey 3nd his usual eloquence.
It was a sublime, a glorious discourse, as the
enraptured stillness of the audience attested.
We are free to say, and we any it without a fear
of contradiction, that in eloquence, delivery and
effect, it equals if not surpasses many of the
greatest efforts of the greatest minds. We
hope that Mr. Reid will consent to have it pub•
lished, as we feel satisfied' that it would be the
means of doing a great muount of good. NVe
should be much pleased to lay it before the
eyes of every Chrisltan in this community, and
hope we shall have the pleasure of giving it to
our readers.
Tim .11UNTINgDON POSTMASTM—Having
discharged our duty to the public and ourself,
we can take no further notice of this official in
our paper. In mentioning him at all, at this
time, our object is merely to correct an error I
in our last article. We then, impliedly at least,
expressed the opinion, that, lost as he is to all
sense of honor, he could not be so 109 t to shame I
and the spirit of manhood as to suffer us to go
unwhipt of justice, if an overwhelming fear of
consequences did nut restrain Wm. This int- •
plies that he might bo selfdeceived, ignorant of
the criminality of his acts, nod blind to the
clearest light of truth. But his refusal to seek
redress before a legal tribunal—where nothing
could prevent a full and fair investigation of
our charges—proves not only his guilt, but his
complete conociousuegs of that guilt. Ile is,
therefore, sunk lower than we were prepared to
conceive, ar.d WO owe it to our self-respect to
leave him to fester in his corruption. A few
bigoted partisans, whose political prejudiees
will not permit them to real our statements may
Lanny receive his, and console him with their
sympathy. But the great main of out people
ore honest nt heart rind will nut fail to radon
conviction on the wily culprit. We leave him
to their judgment, which he nano/ nhi le, howe•

tir The Court last week appointed John P.
Ramey County Surveyor. It will be remem
bered teat the vote for this office lust fall, wan
a tie between Mr. Ramey and J. S. Africa,
Eta., and that an appointment was overlooked
amid the hurry and confusion of .the winding
up of the January Court. Mr. Rainey is a de
serving man and his appointment is right.
Mr. Africa is a splendid surveyor, and hoe
filled the office to the satisfaction of all parties.
Unfortunately for hint, he belongs to the wrong
side of politics. If it was not for this serious
objection, we would have been gratified to have
soon Li., retain the office he filled with so much
credit. But we believe in carrying out princi
ple to the strictest letter, hence rejoice at the
appointment of our excellent townsman Ra

COUNTY 80PNRINTENDENOY.—Measra. Editors
--It is right that the qualifications of aspirants
to any responsible position in the gift of the
people should be properly canvassed and .made
known, so that those on whom devolves the du
ty of determining the matter may act under
standingly and in accordance with the best in
terests of the community. But when a cones
pendent scribbles for the public press for the
mere sake of scribbling, or for the purpose of
slandering the character of a rival, or deprecia
ting moral or intellectual worth, an intelligent
community generally soon discovers the motives
of the writer, and the stigma which he wishes
to fasten upon another inevitably recoils upon
himself. Such surely will lie the case in refer.

of the friends of that Seminary, should not get
