The Quaker and the Pugilist.
A genuine bully called upon a Friend
avowedly to thrash him. *
“ Friend,” said the Quaker, knocking
down the visitor’s fists “before thou pro
ceeds t to chastise me, wilt thou not
take some dinner 1”
The bully was a glutton, and at once
consented, washing down the solids with
libations of strong ale. He rose up a
gain to fulfil his original errand.
“ Friend,” said the Quaker, wilt thou
sot first take some punch ! and he sup
plied abundance of punch. The bully,
now staggering attempted to thrash his
entertainer.
But, quoth the Quaker, friend will
thou not take a pipe !
This hospitable offer was accepted,
and the bully utterly weak, staggered s
cross the room to chastise the Quaker.
The latter opening the window and pull
ing the bully towards it/ thus addressed
him.
“ Friend thou earnest hither not to
be pacified; I gave thee a meat offering
but that did not assauge thy rage; 1-
gave thee a drink offering, still thou wert
beside thyself, I gave thee a burnt offer
ing, liti.iier did that suffice; and now
will I try thee with a heave offering 1
And with that he tossed him out of the
window. That sufficed him.

We have but a faint notion of econo
my in this country, and there are a few
persons who seem able to exercise its
Bpirit in their mode of liviug. Asa
general thing, young people, clerks, and
the like calculate to live fully up to the
amount of their income, if indeed they do
not outrun its limits and become involv
ed in debt. So with married men of
humble means, they calculate to spend
about as much as they get and often find
themselves involved in debts they can
not liquidate, Now there is a simple
rule which, if adopted, would make peo
ple independent.
In the first place, let a man’s income
be ever so small, he should calculate to
save a little, and lay it by, if only five
or ten dollars a year. This will be sure
to keep him from running in debt, and
as soon as be finds that he has a sum of
money saved, there is a natural incen
tive to add to that amount, and thus
unwittingly, as it were, he begins to ac
cumulate. This operation once com
menced, he will be surprised to see how
fast his means improve ; and then the
slow but sure increase of principal by
the accumulation of interest is a matter
of clear gain. In this relation our own
style of saving banks, and new five cent
saving banks, are accomplishing a work
of great good, being practical sugges
tion to the people that cannot fail of their
influence.
Never purchase any article of dress or
luxury, until yon can pay cash for it ;
this is a most important rule to observe,
and the credit system, in fact, has done
quite as much to ruin debtors as credi.
tors. A vast number of little expenses
(but large in the aggregate) would be
saved if one always paid the money for
the same at the time of purchase, in place
of having it charged. Pay as you go, is
a golden rule and it is true economy.
Many a poor man could build a house
over his head, and own it, with the price
of the cigars and tobacco he has used, to
say nothing of the worse than useless
drinks” of beer and bad spirits, in
which from time to time, he has allowed
himself to indulge. Avoid any habit,
however simple it may be at the outset
which involves unnecessray expense ;
one leads to another, and altogether will
empty your purse and sap the marrow
of your physical strength. It is not so
much what a man’s income may be, as it
is what he spends, that graduates his
means. Strive then, to adopt the true
principles of economy, and have the se
cret of independence.

Bt Pao. I. N. Loomis.
Ladies snd Gentlemen,
Beloved Graduates :
The feeling prompting us to leave with a
friend at parting some memento by which,
the recollection of us may be quickened in
our absence, springs from an element, the
purest and most beautiful of our Dflture.
Such mementoes are the silent, yet eloquent
witnesses of kindness and affection. They
are the golden links of memory, star-gem
med and flower-wreathed, binding us to
what we love.
From the rose-tint Eve is said to have
brought on her check from Paradise, and
which yet in the blushes of her fair daugh
ters, carries us eTer back to the primal
beauty of Eden, to the sunny curl and gold
en locket those parting lovers exchanged
last night, sealing the compact with a kiss,
such tokens have ever filled the largest page
in the heart histories of our race. Thus, too,
we commemorate the heroic deeds of men,
and recall great events in the history of the
past. Nor do we prize such offerings by
their market value. They arc above all
price. A leaf or a flower, a ringlet or a
ring, a picture, or the slightest waif on the
sea of meniviy.
*• Striking the electric chain wherewith
we are darkly bound,” oft awakes the slum
bering echoes of life, filling all our being
with soul-melody more ravishing than the
sun-breathed strains of Memnon, or “the
music of the spheres. ”
Alone in a foreign clime, amid the frown
ing battlements of tyranny, and the mur
derous appointments of oppression, where
we sigh wearily for the sights and sounds of
freedom, at a glimpse of the “stars and
stripes,” though torn and soiled, and weath
bcaten, floating at the masthead of the hum
blest craft from our own shores, or a snatch
of “ Home, Sweet Home,” though heard
from the lips of a ragged little urchin, or
ground from ascreeching hand-organ in the
street, the soul, like the lark at sunrise,
soars and sings towards Heaven. The dark
walls, the insignia of oppression, the loneli
ness that made us weep, are all forgotten.
Memory waves her magic wand, and lo !
tha scene is changed. Wo are at our native
home, ami 1 the scenes of other days. The
low sad music of the far-off sea lulls us to
rosy dreams of honied bliss. The brook,
as it goes laughing by, sings the boyhood
songs of hope and happiness. The tall grass
and the golden grain wave us a smiling
welcome. The flowers we tended with our
sister breathe a sweeter perfume in that hal
lowed hour, and we husk and bathe in
floods of sunny glory, brighter and purer
than ever gleam upon the cold, stern, real
of mortal life.
Os all the mementoes friendship or affec
tion may offer to worth, to genius, or to hu
man greatness, rone are more appropriate
or commemorative than pictures. In the
distant future, each of thee shall be
** But the record fiklr.
That nxnory keep*, of all thy kinitra there
Mill out .iTr May a (tom thut haa efTW-ed
A thousand other theme* tea* deeply traced
and the value and sacredness of that record
will be commensurate with the elevation
each may attain in his profession, and the
honor he may reflect upon the cause it com
memorates. How different is the feeling
with which we gaze upon different pictures,
though equal in interest as works of art.
Indeed the one that moves us most may be
the least In this respect. I remember, as If
but yesterday, my emotions, when, after
days spent in the art galleries of Europe,
revelling amid the sublimest creations of
genius I met in a small arcade at Versailles,
with the portrait of Washington. The glo*
ry of Michael Angelo and Leonardo da
Vinci, of Correggio and Vernet were for
gotten, and my spirit bowed reverently be
fore the glory-presence of the father of my
country. I thought that gazing there, Vic
tor Hugo and Ledru Kcllin, Caviguac and
Lamartine, and many another patriot heart
may have caught those inspirations of liberty
which scattered, and will yet scatter kings
from their thrones, and their thrones to the
winds of heaven.
Would that some of you, for there can be
bat one Washington in anything, might
become to Medicine and to Science, what
Washington is to freedom and the rights of
man. Then would that little picture of
yours be more prized than the master-piece
of Leonardo da Vinci, and from that face,
future reformers might catch still higher in
spirations in the Healing Art divine.
Such is the power of association, linking
us ever with all that is best and holiest this
side Heaven, and sometimes waking within
ns low mysterious tones, like angel-melody,
breathing of immortality.
One bright Sabbath morning I stood be
neath the lofty dome of the Hotel det Inva
tides, beside the tomb of Napoleon. The
Sarcophagus, curiously carved from solid
j porphyry, rests in the centre of a vast cir
cle so laid in elaborate mosaic as to repre
sent sun-rays darting from the centre to the
circumference, the whole surrounded by a
massive wreath of bay leaves carved from
pum Parian marble. Above this is an
apartment, through the floor of which is a
circular opening, corresponding with the
circle belo-r, the whole supported by huge
columns, each with a gigantic statue at
tached, both column and statue cut from a
single shaft of marble. The circular open
ing is surrounded by a massive balustrade,
carved in solid marble of snowy whiteness.
The floor is rich mosaic. On this I stood,
lor ring down upon the urn that holds the
a-iiesol Napoleon. In the immense tablets
and niches of the Rotunda, arc groups of
statuary and pictures from the first masters
of the Art; one series rising over another
until they readi the dome above. Softly
blending tints of rosy and blue and purple
light from the stained windows, cant an in
describable beauty over the scene. The
heavy marble carvings seem like delicate
smoke, wreaths intertwined with moon*
beams and pearl-lustre, by fairy Angers, and
the statues and pictures like ethcrial fairy
forms. The scene is one of weird enchant
ment and heavenly beauty.
Adjoining, is a large chapel, from whose,
vaulted roof depend a hundred varied flagsd
won from as many battle-fields, torn an.
pierced and powder-burnt in the conflict
Here the surviving veterans of Napoleon's
army come to worship, some hacked and
scarred, others with limbs upon the fields of
Wagram, Marengo ar.d Austerlitz. As
they marched up the long aisle, the organ
pealed forth notes of the very symphony to
which in boyhood I had listened In the vil
lage
burcb, where my voice first mingled
my mother’s in the prayers and res
ponses of the service. Louder swelled the
strain, and louder still, until all the air was
music. Gradually the tones sank away to
the softness of a sighing zephyr. Then
another organ, in a distant part of the chapel,
caught the strain, and in flute-like notes, as
tremulous and thrilling as the echoes from
another world, swelled gently out, and the
first orgsn joining in the harmony, both
rose together, surging onward, dashing
waves of blending melody, until the marble
and porphyry, and verde*ntique beneath us
and around, and the very granite walls of
the venerable pile trembled and thrilled with
music. The inspiration wag complete ; yet
not the princely array of magnificence and
beauty, which geuiusand skill, and wealth
had wrought into a scene of surpassing love
liness and imposing grandeur, nor yet the
crowding memories of Napoleon, in his
wild stormy career, but the symphony I
had hoard in boyhood touched the key-uote
of my being, and gentle tears, as grateful as
April rain-drops, tempered with sunshine
and the breath of SpriDg, rose up on the
wings of melody from the depths of my
soul. I was transfigured then, and memory
and beauty were the Moses and Elias that,
talked with my spirit in mystic words no
mortal tongue may repeat. Around my
life came a halo ot gladness, softer than rain
bows, and brighter than sunbeams. I would
not exchange the inspirations of that hour
for whole years of common existence.
All this display, too, of dazzling beauty
and costly magnifleeuce is to perpetuate the
deeds and the triumphs of the world’s great
est captain. Yet not the weird splendor of
the Hotel des Involutes, nor the proud col
umn of Place Vondome rising high in grace
ful proportions, with its spiral embossments
representing the battle scenes in which the
cannon forming it were captured from the
enemy, and brought away amid shouts ol
victory, nor yet the Triumphant Arch,
standing in its grandeur and repose at the
head of Champs FAysees, majestic and beau
tiful enough for the gate-wav to the halls
of Valhalla,—not all those, nor the proudest
monuments wealth may rear, can touch
the human heart with the thrilling eloquence
of the old surtout, the three cornered hat,
and the torn banner that lie upon the tomb
of Napoleon.
This, in all time, we strive to commemo
rate the deeds of great nien, and to connect
the present with the past; yet the memen
toes themselves owe their significance, not
to their cost or splendor, but to their rela
tions to the idea they perpetuate, and to the
spirit in which they are offered.
The most notable remembrance of Luth
er’s heroic life, is a black spot on the wall
ofliii study at Wurlemberg, where he throw
his inkstand at the head of the devil ; and
the choicest relic of the American revolu
tion, is the small rusty bell in Independence
Hall at Philadelphia, where it rang out the
first tocsin of liberty when the Declaration
was signed.
The alabaster box, worth three hundred
pence, from which the woman annointed
our Saviour's head, will never be forgotton.
Jerusalem, with its temple ruins and its
once proud monuments, its Mosque of Omar
and Holy Sepulchre, is fast crumbling to
decay, and the wild Bedoin of the desert
roams its ruiu-obstructed streets. “When
the foot-falls of time shall have trampled
that Heaven favored city in the dust, and
the hand of oblivion sprinkled the encroach
ing sands of the desert upon it, so cunning
ly, that the place where it now stands shall
be lout forever, the jierfume of the little ala
baster-box will be fresh in the memory of
man.
“Verily I say unto you, to whomsoever
this gospel shall be preached in tho whole
world, there shall ulso this, which this wo
man hath done, be told for a memorial of
her.”
And where now. has this gospel not been
preached? Beginning at Jerusalem, with
a single champion against the world, and
entrusted to a few fishermen and laborers,
the glad t ; dings have spread, wave-like, over
the redeemed earth, each wave a victor
throb of the groat heart of Christ, until,
“there is no speech nor languago where
their voic<? im not Ik?**?**:!,* * until tl thoir tim
is gone out through all the earth, and their
words to the end of the world.” For eigh
teen centuries, the “ day-spring from on
high ” has been rolling back the dark clouds
of sin, error and uncleanness, of ignorance,
superstition and idolatry, scattering in its
flashing trail, like the rosy gems of Aurora,
the diamond precious blessings of Christian
ity, the pearl rich treasures of civilization,
and the golden links ofbrothcrhoou to man.
Wherever thisgospel has been moot exalted,
there civil liberty, the light of science, tlie
arts of peace, and the progress of man, have
been most complete ; and there, too, has
the a’— oa*ter-box—the type of Christian
charity—shed a perfume sweeter than the
rose of Sharon, or breathings from the gales
of “ Araby the blest.”
In the coming ages, when tho banner of
the cross shall be unfurled in triumph from
every Pagoda of Paganism, and every
Mosque of the SaraceD, from every syna
gogue of Judaism, and every strong-hold of
the Infidel ; when temples to the living
God shall adorn the wild jungles of Africa,
and the grim ice-locked regions of the
North ; when “ nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more,” and “ the Lion of the
tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath pre
vailed to open the book, and to loose the
sevtn seals thereof when tho gospel is
sion shall be consummated, and the New
Jerusalem, with its jasper walls and golden
streets, its twelve foundations of sapphire
and emerald, and all manner of precious
stonea, and its twelve pearly gates, shall be
complct don earth, and the glory of God
shall lighten it, then shall the periume of
that woman’s alabaster box rise in iu sweet
ness, like the incense of love, before the
throne of God, for a memorial of her for
ever.
i Thus, the value of heart offerings is
counted, not by the clink of coiu, but by
k throbs of sympathy and love.
Though you come, to-day, beloved gradu
ates, with no costly gifts, you offer a memo
rial to a a great event in the history of the
world, and a deserved tribute to tbo worth
and genius of a remarkable man. For more
than three thousand rears, rivers of blood
‘ had flowed from human veins until the
smell of it hail gone up to nil the stars, dim
ming those myriad, glittering foot-prints of
God along the highways of the universe.
Could Padnlirius, the son of ASseulapius,
who first opened the crimson floid-gates of
life, see the ruin that has followed, in fren
zied bitterness of soul he would exclaim,
“W 1 at I and* sr bi-re ? H ! Ihev pluck out mine eyes!
Will*ll mvxt Neptune's man tb! W<v and
from my iitiiU ? So ; this my will rather
The n.ultltmlliir.ui ni Inet rnsdihe,

For three centuries, Mercury, more bale
ful than the withering star above the pool
of Mulcbolge in Dante’s 11011, has scattered
its monuments all ulong the path of time, in
loathsome ravages on the human frame, in
walking skeletons, and untimely deaths.
Wasting poisons, the excruciating blister,
the torturing seton and the burning ruoxa
had multiplied their hecatombs of human
victims, until
“ Death did hla work
In secret and In Joy liittwc, untold,
.A'tnouyh an ea-thquak-smacked luanraibllsg lips
O’er turn* thick peopled city .”
From amid the green meadows and sunny
hilbeides of New England a Heaven-gifted
ton of the Pilgrims rose up, and though as
unlettered as the fishermen of Judea, yet
with the inspiration of nature fresh upon
him, he rebuked the gory tide, and it has
ceased to flow. He uttered his fiat against
poisons as medicines, and they have ever
since been,
“Growin* small, and benuUful'y Iras,’’
until it has become fashionable to swallow
them only in infinitessimal doses, the nearer
nothing the better.
Consulting alone the great volume of Na
ture, he learned lessons that arc revolutio I
izing the Medical World, lie founded a
system of Medicine destined to confer un
told blessings upon countle.-s millions of our
race, and immortality on his name. With
aCurtiaa daring he proclaimed dis discov
eries, and the principles of his system to the
world, though answered only by persecu
tion and violence, by a noisesomo prison
dungeon and a felon’s galling chains—gall
ing alike to body and soul.
Yet he shall not l>e without his reward,
such reward as Nature bestows on her fa
vorite sons. VV hen the name and the fiery
deeds of Napoleon shall have become a
myth amongst men, when the Hotel des In
valides, Place Vendome and Are de Tri
omphe des Etoilcs, have crumbled into dust,
and rank glass is waving, and tall trees
growing above the forgotten spot where now
stands that beautiful city, tho laughing
bride of the Seine, the discoveries and prin
ciples of Samuel Thomson will be in the
prime of their triumph, and his fame a glo
ry-star in the.azure firmament of immortal
ity.
This nobie system of medicine, and its il
lustrious founder you commemorate by
placing these mementoes upon the walls of
your Alma Mater. And, although they
are offered in honor of ONE tbe latchet of
whose shoes we are’scarcely worthy to un
loose, you have made us the almoners of
your offering. For my colleagues, and the
institution I have the honor to repressent, 1
thank you for this token of affectionate re
gard ; and wheresoever the healing gospel of
Medical Reform shall be preached in tho
whole world, may also this, which you to
day have done, bo^told for a memorial of
you.
Whilst you manifest this wish to bo re
membered by us, and to offer a remembrancer
to a great name, a feeling, almost correla
tive to your qw n, is actuating us—a feeling,
the deepest and strongest of our nature. It
is a desire for successors, worthy what we
have toiled fu and won. Patriarchs and
Prophets, kings and conquerors, all men in
all ages, have shown this to be common to
the great brotherhood of man. Our Saviour
appointod his successors with formal solem
nity. Napoleon sacrificed to this sentiment
the noblest affections of his heart, and the
happiness of his life. Manoah burnt a kid
upon a rock in 2k)rah, to propitiate the mes
senger who had promised him a son, and an
angel of the Lord rose on the flame of the
sacrifice towards Heaven, and in due time
Sampson was born to deliver his peoplo
from the hand of the Philistines, and to rule
: over Israel. We, too, 10. these many years,
I have brought our annual offerings, and laid
them hopefully upon the Altar of Science.
We have seen tho angel of truth rising
heavenward on tho flame and incense, leav
ing our Altar wreathed in fadeless flowers
of Hope, and greeting us with a smile of
promised triumph ; ard Lo ! a thousand
young Sampsons, unshorn of their locks, are
! rising up around us, to deliver man from the
Philistines of error, suffering, and prema
ture death. They will sweep over the time
i withered cornfields of antiquated medical
j fallacies, with a conflagration more terrific
than was ever kindled by three hundred
foxes, with fire-brands tied to their tails,
two by two.
To j our sacred keeping we commit the for
tunes of that cause to which so many ot us
j have devoted the best j-ears of life. We
| scarcely need charge you, be faithful to tho
I trust. Is not our cause worthy such devo
’ tion ? Will not our modes of treatment
save life, have they not saved thousands of
lives where all others have failed ? Statistics
show that those who oppose us lose fiftj T per
cent of Cholera patients, while we lose hut
flfoi In tlmt poriodic eoourgti of UUrSliniiy
and golden South, Yellow Fever, tliej’ lose,
at least, ten eases to our one. Thedisparitj’
is similar iu all malignant forms of disease.
In our own beautiful city, in all our favored
land, wc sec strong men in tbe prime and
vigor of life, young men with the flush of
manhood just mantling the cheek, beauty
with the roses of health wreathing her brow,
rosy childhood, and laughing infancy, with
ering and falling befoie an antiquated false
hood, whilst our mild and sanative treatment
would have saved them to their families,
their country and the world. Their loss is
charged upon Providence. Providence is
more kind than that. With the right treat
ment, Providence permits all curable cases
of disease to be restored to health.
In tho proud consciousness of being right,
with the unfaltering assurance that the right
will be crowned with tho fadeless victor
wreath of triumph, we hail these new re
cruits with a glad welcome to our swelling
ranks. Sixty years ago there was but one
Medical Reformer iu the world. Now there
arehman thousands,
“With arm to strike, and soul to daro,
As quick, as far as be.”
The final contest between superanuutod
theories and the now truths discovered by
Samuel Thompson is near at hand. Let it
come..
In the battle of Trafalgar, in which the
British fleet, under Lord Nelson, met the
combined fleets of France and Spain, the
latter presented the finest nnd best manned
line-of-battle ships that ever floated on the
sea; and far excelled the former, both in
numbers and in force. After composing a
prayer for vietory, nnd committing lm life
to tbe God of Baltics, Lord Nelson came on
deck, calm ns a summer-evening slar, with
an almost prophetic consciousne,-
and ietory would both meet hint in the
coming battle. As they were bearing down
tij>on the enemy, himself on board the “Vic
tory,” he ordered to be run up that memora
ble signal, which will not bo forgotten whil. t
the English language is spoken on earth,
“Fnglund expects etcry man to do his duty.”
Along the line the signal flags rose fluttering
to their places, and with them a responsive
burst of acclamation so sublime that the
winds nnd waves were bushed to listen.
“Now,” said he, “I can do no more. We
must trust to the great Disposer of all events,
and the justness of our cause.”
In the hottest of the fight, when the Vic
tory, Sanctissima Trinidad, the Redoubtable,
and Temcraire were grappled side by side in
deadly conflict, Lord Nelson received his
death shot, surviving but three hours and a
quarter. A few moments before ho expired ■
he said to bis chaplain, “Remember, I leave
my adopted daughter Horatia to my coun
try.” llis last faint utterance was, “I thank
God, I have done my duty.” The French
Admiral drowned himself from mortification
at the defeat.
We, too, are bearing down upon the ene
my. Our sails aro set; dur colors are proud
ly fluttering in the gale. From the effort
to hang Samuel Thompson ns a murderer,
fifty years ago, to their last pop-gun pro mi n
ciuments by the popinjay fifth corporal of
tho Death Zouave*, in which wenre set down
ns “Pepper D<ctors” and “Lobeliaites,” par
excellence, they have left unemployed no
means in their power to discomfit us. Their
batteries of ridicule and calumny, (not calo
mel), of intolerance and persecution have
been incessantly opened upon us. Yet,
shielded by the eternal panoply of Truth,
their shots have fallen harmless at our feet.
They now change their taetics, and adopt
anew mode of warfare. They are attempt
ing to purloin from us all that is most valu
able in our Principles and Practice, appro
priating it, and the credit of our discoveries
to themselves, with tbe nonchalance of pro
fessional pirates, still cherishing a secret
bitterness, and venting open hatred to
wards us for breaking their lancets and disk
ing their poisons I repeat it, let the con
test eome. Though wo have no mean ene
my 10 cope withal,” and numbers and force
are against us, like Lord Nelson at Trafal
gar, wo aro confident of victory. We must
face antiquity, book authority, professional
and popular prejudice, pretensions inflated
toad-like, talent, wealth, organization, and
all that can give eolat to a bad cause. But
antiquity is a dotard, their authority is time
worn and worm-eaten, prejudice will give
way, at a touch of the Ithurial Spear of
truth, iheir wind-bag of pretensions, like tho
toad in Milton’s Paradise, will assume its
normal shape, and talent, wealth and organ
ization cannotsave their sinking ship.
I am no Admiral, or Vice-Admiral as
Nelson was, yet from this, our flag-ship
“ Victory,” the Institution I represent, I
dare raise tho battle signal, your profes
sion “ expects every man to do his duty.”
The cause of Science, and of blistered bleed
ing humanity, Truth weeping between the
the porch and the altar, God and your coun
try, each, “ EXPECTS EVERY MAN TO
DO IIIS DUTY.” And as tho signal runs
along the serried line of heroic hearts, let a
burst of acclamation ascend so loud and
earnest, so impressive and sublime that the
enemy will give up the ship in terror, and
drown himself in the sea of despair.
Trusting to the great disposer of all events
and the justness of our cause, wo shall ever
he ready, to leave that cause with you ; be
queathing our adopted daughter, the youth
ful and beautiful Hygia to our country and
the world. May each of us in tho flush of
victory, though it be our last utterance, be
able to say, in the dying though deathless
words of Nelson, “ I thank God I have
done my duty.”
Again, gentlemen, I welcome you to the
ranks of our profession, and your pictures to
our halls. We accept the gift as an expres
sion of your confidence in our principles,
and we will retain it ns a pledge of your
faithfulness in their maintenance. I thank
you again for this token of kindness to us
and affection for the cause into whose scale
our fortunes of life arc cast. As we look
upon those familiar faces, they will not only
remind us of the many pleasant hours we
have passed together along tin* flowery paths
of knowledge, but they w ill ever speak to us
eloquently of the talent and zeal you have
manifested in all our intercourse with you.
They will he an everpresent assurance to us
that we have men in our ranks capable of
defending and sustaining our doctrines and
that when future fifth corporals shall sprout
up and call us naughty names, we have
many “Vindications” able to blister them,
ad drliquivm.
I thank you, Ladies, for the inspiring
influence of your presence, and the charm
yon have, added to the scene. May your
smiles of beauty • and love be ns rays from
the golden sta: of Promise, winning those
young recruits to noble deeds, and a fame
that shall he immortal.

■Sallad Concert. —Next week wo
are to have tho accomplished American
tenor, Ilenry Squires, of the Academies of

the wonderful and talented child, little
Mary McVicker, whoso precocious musical
development has astonished every body who
has ever heard her j)erfi*rmances. j
Our neighbor lias spoken !
The Journal A Messenger, of last week, in noticing
tho Card of the Suvanuah Republiean, in answer to
some calls on the Executive Committee, for action,
has given the public an inkling of the policy to Vie
pursued hy that Journal, in the approaching Presi
dential campaign, which may lie of some little inter
est to ottr readers.
The Journal approves the delay of actios on the
port of the committee, and wtys that ‘-tile effect of
an opposition ei uvention would probably l>e to show
our weakness, and commit the party, prematurely
to a liue of policy which might have to !>e abandoned
or sink it forever.” It further shows its hand,as fol
lows :
‘ Should our democratic friends present good men
and true, upon a sound and broad constitutional ba
sis, it mny lx; the patriotic duty ns well as the best
policy of the Opposition, to give them their cordial
support. Tho safety of the Union requires that
Black Republicanism and sectionalism should lx*
broken down. This can only he done hy the union
of conservative democrats, wings and Americans.”
Now we respectfully ask. is there any hope, what
ever. that the Charleston convention will nominate
any such candidates? Not in the least unless Doug
las is such a man, or Andy Johnson or Gov. Wise.—
If the Democrats nominate an extreme Southern
man, he w ill be a sectional candidate and arrayed
against a <rh'onu£candiilate, North. This will make
it the more necessary for tho formation of a national
and conservative Union Party, opposed to all section
alism and built upon the broad hosts of the Constitu
tion, as it stands. In either ease,-it is, in out opin
ion, the duty of the American Party of Georgia to
prepare for whatever emergency may arise. If or
ganized and showing a bold front, it will lx* in better
condition to dictate terms to the adversary, than if it
wore defunct, or laid up in lavender, or in one of Dr.
lJudolphe’scamphor-wood trunks, where the ntoths
cannot get at its ehreass to corrupt it!
If, therefore, the Executive Committee appointed
to do the work of calling a convention—not to make
a platform for the party—will not do their duty, in
the premises, we hope they will resign the trust
committed to them, and let the people take the mat
ter into their own hands. We ought hi have a con
vention, at any rate, as soon after the meeting at
Charleston as possible, to determine whether we
shall go over, as the Journal & Messenger proposes
to di>, ‘-horse, foot and dragoons,” to tho Democracy—
or raise aloft our ow n broad national American stan
dard, in an independent organization, and the time
is now short enough for tho people to assemble in
primary mooting, for the purpose of appointing Del
egates to such convention, and we trust there will be
no further delay in making the call.
P. S.—Since the above article was written, we have
been informed that the Executive Committee will
1 meet, in this city, on the Kith inst. This is well, and
we would suggest that the Editors of the American
Party, in the State, do also meet here in convention,
at the same, time, to consult together as to the best
policy tobe pursued by the lratemity, as a body.—
The committee, we doubt not, will Vie glad to have
their recommendations approved in the outset, hy
the press,on whom the burden will devolve, of c.-rriy
ing out the measures which may be proposed. If
not, the Editorial Fraternity could act independent
| ly, at freemen ou-rht to do, who control the “‘fourth
j estate” of tho realm, and no longer submit to be
mere “hewi-ra rs wood and drawers of water” to
political aspirants. We do not anticipate, however,
tiny essential disagreement between tho Executive
Committee and the Press—if good counsels prevail
and a conciliatory spirit is manifested. We at e for a
united and vigorous movement, for tho advancement
of the best interests of the country, and have no per
sonal ambition te gratify or private purposes to serve,
beyond what Patriotism will dictate.
Spurgeon's Kooks.— The people of
Montgomery, Ala., have collected and made

Booksellers to the proposition ? Will they
continue to sell the vile productions ?
Council Frocectliiifi'i. —Wo owe
an apology, perhaps, to our city readers, for
the non-publication, last week, of the pro
ceedings of the City Council of Feb. 28. The
reason was tkit we were not furnished with
the copy in seasou for Thursday’s issue. The
proceedings of Feb. 28 and March Gth will
be found in another place, and we will not
fail to publish the proceedings of each Tues
day evening’s meeting in tho following
Thursday’s paper, provided we can get the
manuscript by 12, noon of Wednesday.
As the City Printer, we are entitled to tho
privilege of first publishing the proceodings
of Council, and take this occasion to protest
against the practico of one of our cotempora
ries anticipating the publication of the
same in the Citizen. It is clearly a trespass
upon our rights, for the Telegraph so to
publish, as we thereby lose one of the perqui
sites attached to the office of City Printer—
that of increased subscription to the Citizen,
from the authorized publication of the pro
ceedings first in its columns. If there is
any sense of propriety or of tho comity due
on such occasions, the offence will not he re
peated, unless wo fail to do our duty, in the
premises.
Hon. John A. Campbell.—
Some of the papers have mentioned
the name of judge Campbell* of Mo
bile, Ala., as a proper man for the
Presidency, on whom to unite the
South. We don’t think lie will be
gin to do. He has been too much of
an Old School Federalist ever since
he became United States Judge, and
too intensely given to an Anti South
ern view of public measures, ever to
receive a large Southern vote.
