lie spoke ot tin conflict, with rltu'alishT
going 011 tu the Church of England
and in the Episcopal Church of tbis coun
try, and asked why it is that there m ho
such eonflictin other Protestant Chorch s.
The first failure, he said, ot tlie Con
vention whs m tier duty to the other re
named Churches. Tiiey might seek in
vain in nil the proceedings of ihat body
for one recognition of the Protestantism
eiisti.ig around her. They mht look
in vain for one act, one speech recogniz
ing the great Protestant Christianity
around tier. 1 he canon that has stood
on the Piatute hooks of that Convention
since 1868, requiring each Bishop to ex
clude all un-Epiecopal ministers from en
tering the pulpits of the Church, was
permitted to stand. Not a voice was up
lifted to ask for its repeal not one pro
test against it. On the other hand mark
the action of the Convention toward the
Greek Church. On the first day of the
session a resolution was offered inviting
the Greek clergy to take seats in the
body. Now, be it remembered, that there
is but one Greek priest on this continent,
and he is iu ibis city. And yet they re
cognized the equality of this Church,
which is corrupt as the Church of Rome
a Church that worships the Virgin and
the saints, thai baptizes a little infant,
light days old, by immersion three times,
thcu contiuns it, and afterwards adminis
ters the Lord's Suppor to the little infant
re-
Tbe next failure of the General Con
vent ion was in oer stern retusal to grant
any relief to the consciences within the
t i a i i mi a
oosoni oi cer ioia. l here uas existed a
body of men who loved the Episcopal
Church, for her services, her grand old
liturgy ; they believe it to be the Church
of the Reformatio!), and yet in regard to
some expressions in the Prayer Book in
reference to baptism they sought some
relief and were denied.
In the next place the General Conven
tion failed to provide an adequate remedy
for Ritualism. The first alarm on this

was drawn up ana tunuentiaiiy signed
coudeming these practices. Since that
time the question has been agitated until
the last Convent ion found that they should
do something, and they pissed a canon
on Ratualism as it is called. If they
examined that cation it would be found
that it, aimed at. only one thing the ser
vices at the administration of the Lord
supper. Everything else was iguored.
Altars may be erected still in every
church. Stone altars, (which the Reform-
Tbe Cheapest and Purest Family Medicine in I ers cast out at the Reformation) with can
dlesticks blazing, may still be introduced
in every church. Colored vestments may
be worn, surpliced choirs, and bowing to
ward the altar when there are no elements
upon it. But they were greatly mistaken
if they thought that eucharisiic adoration
was Ritualism. He tbeu proceeded to
say that the root of all these errors lay iu
the prayer-book of the Protestant Episco
pal Church, where the word priest instead
of minister was frequently used. There
was but one remedy, and that was to
take from the Piayer-Book the sacerdotal
principle as represented iu the term priest.
Bishop Cummins closed by referring to
the encouraging prospects of the Reform
ed Episcopal Church. The signs of pro
gress had multiplied in a wonderful m -inner.
He had just returned from a visita
tion in the Dominion of Canada, where
there were seven congregations, and ttie
news that greeted hint as he entered the
ciiy of Toronto was that a wlnde cougre--gation
connected with the church of Eng
land, numbering 400 members, had just
joined their ranks. Iu, the diocese of
Illinois there were five congregation's. In
the Slate ot New York there were four
congregations, in Pennsylvania tour, and
iu the city ot L nisville there was also a
flourishing congregation r and in Pittsburg
another. Ill all, tarty clergymen and
thirty parishes were iu union with their

penalties of actions for all damages to
wives and families resulting fro ji die sale
otjjjquor, but the sale has in no wft
diminished. So thai the im potency of
prohibitory law stands confessed. The
reason for all this is not the power of the
liquor setters and manufacture?, but the
numerical power of the consumers. The
former, as a body, have no such numeri
cal strength as gives them control of pub
lic opinion. It is the consumers that have
to he reached iu order to promote the cause
of temperance.
Iu what important respect does the
evil of intemperance diff.-r from other
evils, or sin t WW should legislation
be invoked to suppress this evil more than
other evils ?
Our ministers have a mission to preach
morality and a religious lite ; they make
wag upon all kinds of sin, and for
that purpose they preach and pray for
Divine aid in converting the sinner from
his errors to righteousness. All men and
women are sinners. A much smaller
number are drinkers, and comparatively
few are drunkards. .These ministers do
not pretend to appeal to tbe State to com
pel men to live Christian lives ; they do
not appeal to the State to compel men to
join tbe Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,
or any other Church, or to compel them
to believe io Christ, or to worship God
in any form. But, like sensible men, de
vote their lives to the persuasion of other
men to lead, better lives, to abandon sin,
to have faith in Christ, and to join the
Church. Tbe success ot the Christian
ministry is due to tbe fact that its appeals
are to the reason and intelligence of the
people, and are tv t made through tbe
statute-book, or the Grand Jury. Uow
many converts would there be made un-
der a law prohibiting sin, infidelity, ra
tionalisuvor indifTereutism How many
real penitents would there be, if atten
dance on camp-meeting or church-services
were compulsory i
Why the evil of intemperance should
be distinguished from any other evil iu
its treatment we never have been able to
appreciate. Every Legislature that as
sembles has its calendar crowded with
petitions asking and demanding prohibit
ory legislation. That to good comes of
such legislation is almost a matter of uui-
veisal remark.

by interested poli icians that many per

led to believe that the negroes, if not

maltreated by the whites. It cannot be
denied that many of the white planters
firmly believe that the blacks are in every

farm laborers in Germany or France.
That they are more their own misters
than people of the same class at the North
is not to he disputed. It can, withont
exaggeration, be said that they come and
go as they please. In the midst of cot

to attend a political meeting, not return

They are not always well clothed, if is

ice is a curiosity. As stated above, they
are exceedingly well fej. Cornmeal and
b.icon are given to them in abundance by
their employers, and they are not slow
in providing 'hemsves with the fish and
game which abound. Many persons will
be surprised to learn that many of the
negro laboreres cherish the belief that
they are in reality their own roasters, and
that they are at liberty to work oi not, as
it snits their convenience and inclination.
This feeling is, no doubt, attributed to the
peculiar system under which thev work.

We are told that the greatest progress lweeu maater aild gervaut. As already
ever made in any generation in lue way
of temperance was that made by Father
Mat hew, who addressed all his preaching
to tbe consumers, pointing ont to ihem
the injury they received from the use of
whisky, and the benefit to them, spiritual
ly and temporally, of abstinence. His
preaching closed, perhaps, 30,000 grog
gerics, aud the effects ot that preaching
are visible to this day, though he has been
dead for twenty-five years.
Liquor is sold for the resulting profits.
Without consumers, there would be no
sales. Appeals to the intelligence aud
reasons of the consumers is the most ef
fective way to promote temperance. The
evil of drinking must be pointed out, and
explained iu a former Tetter, the planters,
soon after reconstruction, finding them
selves unable to pay their laborers, agreed
I to furnish implements, in return for which
-1 US m . a
tiiey were to receive a snare ot tne crop.
This system is carried out iu various
way. In some cases the land-owners
give the negro one-fourth of the crop he
cultivates, and feeds and clothes him.
Another plan is to iet 'the loborer have
one-third of the product of the land, one
hundred ai.d twenty pounds of bacon and
two acres of ground for his own use. In
this way it will be seen that a field hand
is, to a certaiu extent, the planter's part
per iu business, and, consequently, not
entirely under his direction. When thev

such powerful mediums as Father Mat hew, themselves are the losers, aud no one has
aud not through incompetent, uneducated Hny right to interfere. This independence
aud untrained lecturers, and book agents, has resulted in badly cultivated fields,
aud superannuated clergymen. Lei our
gifted preachers whose burning eloquence
carries dismay aud consternation to the
hearts of sinners aud drives them to a
confession ut guilt aud a conviction of
their sins, preach against this evil. Con
viction must precede conversion. The
drinking mail will never yield until his rea

small crops and consequent poverty."
Every Southern man will recognize the
fidelity ot this picture. It is 'rue, as this
intelligent correspondent asserts, after a
careful investigation', - that tbe colored
people are "better fed. and enjoy more
freedom of any class of farm laborers in
Germany or France.' It is a misfortune
with the negroes that they do not appre
ciate this fact. While slaver, they were

Temperance Legislation.
An intelligent and esteemed correspon
dent a ladyasks the ' Editor of tbe
andmark" in a very patronising and
eliug manner to "impress upon tbe
present Legislature the great importance
of some effective legislation in behalf of
be temperance cause.'
Our very clever friend can be assured
that the "Editor of tbe Landmark" is a
strong, frieud to the cause she nobly es
pouses ; but that be differs with many
of its most zealous advocates, probably
1 . at a . f a. .
herself among the number, as to itie etn
cacy and policy of statutory temperance.
We differ, widely, too, with those who
breath nothing but maledictions and
threats, and appeal to coercive measures
against intemperance. VVe regard tbU
fanatical class of reformers a positive
curse to the cause of temperance. Herein
is the .grand fault of very many temper
ance advocates, especially clergymen
Intemperance is an evil -a wide spread
evil ; tor the use of stimulants is univer-;
sal ; it exists among all nations and at all
times. It seems to be the result of a
natural appetite, which, like all other hu
man appeties, way be abused. Human
ingenuity has never been able to devise
an v law. regulation, or system of govern
ment hv which it can be prohibited. If

It is the duty aa well ae the jtririLaare of
the public journalists to ad vauee tke rea.
I 1 good by commending what is com-
meuaaoie, and by censuring what is cen
surable. Iu this age, more than in anv
oth er of the world's history, newspapers
are the moulders ot parotic sentiment A
large multitude of the human family have
no other guide than their family newspa
per. This being the condition of things,
we desire to peo a few senteoeee - whoa
modern weddings and funerals, in masV
erM parlance, a. wedding, ia-a marriage
party, and a fuuerii is a burial party.
The guest who attend the former are all
expected to laugh and make merry, and
tne attendance on the latter, are an ex
pected to make long fasti and be aad.
Let all be glad and rejoice do have juat
grounds, for rejoicing and let, all. be sorry
and sad who have cause to gtieve, provi
ded tbe joy of the former and toe sorrow
ot the latter are kept within proper
bounds.
There is this difference between a mar
riage party and a funeral party. To the
former, only invited guest are expected to
attend. Any one may attend the latter
that feels disposed to do so. With this
conventional arrangement we have uo
particular objection.
What we object to is the excesses
which are practiced both at a funeral aud
a wedding. There will be burials aud
marriages in the world as long as civiliza
tion exists. All the human family, by
an unalterable fiat, must die, and civiliza
tion, as well as religion, deminds that
the bodies of tbe dead be iu some decent
way removed oat of tbe sight of the liy
tng. 1 here will, whilst the world lasts,
be marriages ; for both good morals and

Marrying, however, is one thing, and i
marriage party is another. So also, bury
ing a dead man is one thing aad the
pomp and display of a funeral is another
thing. Usually, a marriage is a cause of
joy; but still it is a very solemn thin ; to mar
ry. loo frequently it is the beginning of
sorrows innumerable. It makes an epoch
4 1. II
iii any man s lire, and not as seldom as
might be expected, an epoch of sorrow

and shame. A morbid state ot society i
demands that a marriage be attended
with an expensive and lordly entertain
ment. All tbe kin, and many of the
neighbors, must be iuvited to enjoy the
feast. All that is, if uot foolish, at least
very useless. It entails upon tbe families,
to which the bridegroom and bride be
long, a heavy expense, and really profits
no one anything. Nat ouly is the enter
tainment a useless expense, but the dress
of the bridegroom and bride is often
nothing but a useless" extravagance. It
often occurs that a young couple start in
tbe world with no.bing bnt a fine and

graudy wa-d robe. It would be tar bet
ter for young people, wbeu they detei
niine, to marry, simply to marry and save
tbe money usually invested in cakes and
candy, and the same is true respect lug fu
nerals. There is no sort of use or propriety
iu surviving relatives' going to great ex
pense in the burial of their dead. Much
of the parade that is made over the dead
is as empty and as transparently affected
as air. It is right and becoming that the
dead be decently buried ; bat it is un
called for and a useless extravagance to
put a royal robe m a body to be laid
away in the ground to rot. Living bodies
are clothed lor the purpose of making
them both comfortable and decent, but
the only object in putting clothes on a
dead body is to make it decent. Funeral
expenses often are really burdensome.
The rich think, or seem to think, that
they show their affection for their dead
by placing their lifeless corpses in costly
Caskets. This is all nonsense. Not un-
trequently is the glaring inconsistency
demonstrated by the bitter animosities
which spring up in a few d tys about the
estate of the deceased. The poor try to

joyment. We may see how completly religion is
adapted to tbe nature of man by observing
that even the elements of enjoyment (and
they are many, though fleeting) which
this world contains are never fully tasted
but by religious persons.
Those abaodauts sources of pnre de
light which are to be found iu the heart,
the intellect and the imagination, are
never received in their fulness but by
tbem.
And why t Because they are ibe
germs of their future and more glorious
being, aud can ouly nourish in a soil akta
to that ultimately desti..ed for ihem.
In a worldly mind, like plants removed
from their original soil and clip ale, they
exist indeed, but with a blighted existence;
and produce, but how degeneraled is the
production !
Everything that wants religion wants
vitality.
Philosphy, without religion, is crippled
and impotent ; poetry, without religion,
has no heart-stirring powers ; life, without
religion, is a complex and unsatisfactory
riddle; the very arts which address them
selves to the senses never proceed so far
towards perfection, as when employed ou
religious subjects.
Relion, then, can be no obstcale to en
joyment, sirce the ouly sources of it, which
are confessedly pure, are all enbauced by
its possession
Even in the ordinary commerce with
