W iimw fin admirable choir, that sometimes produces some , i very pretty music; but we have obserye that the congrogation cannot or will nnk or. at least, do not sing with them. Why is this ? Why are tha j eight i or; ten persons who sit m the galleries al lowed to do all tho singing ? Js it ex pected that thay are to d vit all? Or is itnn'lW.-itod that thoy .desire t) do it all; anfl prfer not to hive any help? ' Now, wo suggest. : that tiio separa-. tin bar .between choir and conrega- tion be broken down, and that it be understood tliat the choirs, mav pitch the. tunes, but the people are , to have a voice in the singing.. ' We make this - Ruestion, for the reason, . that: we have observed, on several occasions, a Blacking off, or giving way on the part :"of choirs - when; ;ihe ; congregation 'engaged with anything like - spirit jn the sinking. The result was, the con ' grogatioh j stopping; ? to ,seq what . the choir was doing, the singing came very near breaking down. .

" - man shall have. its "support, who will not advocate and, if elected, carry out these principles. Party men are loud spoken and unequivocal in this re spect, and no true man w ill censure them for so doing. Nay, if they are honest, how could they consistently do otherwise ? , Believing the principle they advocate to be. right and essenti al to the highest interests of the gov ernment and its subjects, as true men, as-true patriots, they are in duty bound to'defend and carry out, these convic tions of rig.hV They should do that, and' hat oiily, ? which they honestly 13 lieve will tend: to tho psaco - and per petuity of .our institutions and the wel fare of the people. Ana this princi ple of action applies to all, parties ke. Nay, it igoes back ;of mere par-' ty to the dignity of free men,- to the duties of citizens; and to the loyalty of subjects. The real question is not to what party do I belong, but am I a true man, a true patriot, filled with burning zeal for what I conscientious ly believe to bo right ? ,1m l honest in the advocacy of mf professed, princi ples i?, J)o . I truly believethat the . mea sures I am defending and voting for, will, if carried- out, i be for the best, highest, truest interest of my country ? If so,' then I mav not forsake them for partj' ends or spoils of office, or any selfish considerations: nay,T caii for sake them only at the sacrifice of my manhood and my loyalty. Principle is not a thin that may be put on and laid off, like the clothes we wear, with out affecting the character of the man tlieV cover; but it is. a vital element in all of character itself that is noble, or pure, or worthy. The;min who ever1 rides his1 convictions of rignt for party p.nds. or votes for one set of men and measures, while, in the secret cham bers of his heart, he feels that other men and othermeasures would bet ter for the State or the .nation, is thus far performing the par t of , a traitor ; for, is he not selling the best interests of thatState or nation for a considera tion ? And what more than this tides a traitor do ? It is true, this is not the light in which these things are Usually looked unon i hut that does not alter t . , - .... point farther.
