Winn, of Lawrencerille, for Senate; of the 31th District. From persona! knowledge of CoL Winn we can heartily in done what la said of liim. One of lire edi- lon of Tu* CoKftiTCTton waa bit compan ion in arms during tbe late war, and baa reason to know him. He would honor tbe Senatorial robes. The PaUtlcal Outlook. Hon. John Forsyth thus writes to his paper (tbe Mobile Register) from New York: “The general idea here is that Baltimore will go for Greeley and Brown, and if it does, that many a Republican will show bis hand who now stands uncommimd. If it is ever made pretty sure that Greeley and Brown arc to *- elected, a grand stampede from tbe camp Ulysses may be looked for. His soldiers i ail mercenaries, and when tbe plunder van- iabca they will vanish too." rar~ The following are extracts from the Know-Nothing speeches of Henry Wilson, ass Jeremiah Coitalth, in Massachusetts, in 1851: “ The time has come when tbe uniform of tbe State militia should no longer lie dis graced by being seen on the back of a Cath olic Irishman or an Infidel Dutchman.” “ By tbe light of three burning shanties tbe Teuton and Celt may read the doom that will overtake them, in the attempt to compete with tbe native born American for political supremacy on this continent.” What do our Irish and German fdlow-dti- xens think of these utterances of tbe Grant candidate for Vice-President f Mew They Be It In New York Tbe following we clip from the New York Son.

"The Bun—the editor of which is the most cowardly, venal, and reckless libeller .no living—" Whoever says that the editor of the Bun is venal is a liar, a libeller and a scoundrel.

HJ~Lloyd, tbe murderer of Fish, who was hung last week left very minute instructions as to his burial—bis head laid north, grave TO inches deep, coffin heart pine, no apparel but nndergear, etc. He adds this: Bhnuid anything be written over me let it be thus: "Not s criminal—but tho innocent victim of perjured thieves and murderers, ami my hi* ml upon them to tbe fourth generation.

Forjtlie especial benefit of the farming in teresl, we copy from tbe Rome Courier a timely sad wise suggestion: “ Wc wish to put our wbcat growers on their guard . in regard to this valuable crop.

We have seen no pithier summary of Georgia Radicalism than in the following paragraphs, taken from the letter of U. V. Itrdiirld to the Cincinnati Commercial (Re publican), dated July 38th. “ t be Republican party in Georgia is of account. It is nine pans ignorance an J one pan rascality. There is not intelligence enough in tbe party of tbe whole State to rapport a respectable local newspaper. The New Era, of this dtv, died as soon as tin Slate passed into Democratic hands and tin official pap was withdrawn. The plain truth is there is not enough in teiligenoe in tbe Republican party in the State to rule with common decency, even if in power. It has been given a fair test and failed miserably. The party here is so weighed down with ignorance, stupidity and rascality, that it ought never to have been in power, and now that it is out the interests of the Stale will behest served by keeping it ouL Ills aasd commentary on Southern Republican rule that after a three years’ trial in Georgia, the moat notable achievement a w the Mealing of three millions of dollars.” rising To Hangings The Columbus Enquirer is reminded of something good by tbe announcement of tbe Lumpkin Telegraph that it suspended a nick for its folks to enjoy tbe 4th and the Spann banging in Webster. One Johnson Hooper edited tbe Esst Ala bamisn in Chambers county three or four centuries ago in the early recollection of tbe editor of tbe Enquirer. Tbe mail boy who brought tbe news Friday afternoon was al ways tardy onto an opportune banging brought him in time once. Hooper was so tickled that be wrote an article hoping that a negro or mail rider would be hung every Friday. Tbe mail boy thus neatly replied: “Mr. Hopper—Ser—Yu think ya done a mitre smart thing abusing tbe male rider. But lie let yu no lie go to see a nigger hong whenever I darn please, and not ask no' t noleevc of TU or your Jod rotted Estrun Allybunran.

I’d see as menny niggers hang as I want to, and hope yu may catch tbe same. Tub Male Boy.” Among the popular men of the day per haps Vance, of North Carolina, is one of tbe most infioential in his State. Vance always talks to interest He has a homely, humor ous way of putting things that b immensely taking. We bare seen no cleverer presenta tion of tbe Greeley aide of tbe question than tbe following from Vance: Wilkin, N. C., June 29.—Gov. Vance ad dressed a large and enthusiastic meeting to-day. A great port of ids speech was devoted to nations) affairs. He took ground tor Greeley as tbe best me securing real peace. He said that the South, lnr supporting a life-long opposition of tub section and its policy, would convince the North of their earnest desire to forget tbe bitterness of tbe past, as tbe North ern Republicans, by offering us Greeley and Brown on so liberal s platform as that adopted at Cincinnati, bad convinced the South that a large body of our former enemies were desir ous of shaking bands with us. For these reasons the South would support Greeley cheerfully, notwithstanding tbe many ob jections to him, in tbe hope of innuguratint: un era of better feeling in tbe land, and o: starting to return the Government to a con stitutional admir-btralion. He hoped there would be unanimity at Baltimore, and was sure North Carolina would give Greeley and a large majot re if endorsed there by moersts. He illustrated the position by a humorous story of sn old preacher into wbosc hymn book some bed bey had pasted tltfi oil! fi/itiF— 014 Grimes ia dead. That Rood old mas; We ne'tr dull ace him more. On opening hb book one day before a ser mon, his eyes fell on thb hymn. Ueresdthe Ant rate end stopped with surprise. He wiped his specs and read it again, and said, “Brethren, I have been singing oat of thb hook for forty years; I lisve never recognized thb as a by un before; but it’a here, and I ain’t agwiue to go hack on my book now, so please raise the tune, and we’ll sing it through if it kills us.” -(Now, said tlic-Governor, we have been singing Democratic hymns for forty years down here, and we have never recognized Greeley as a Democrat before; hat if the Bal timore Convention pats him in oar hymn 1100k wc’il sing him through if it kills us. Thb wss received with prolonged applause. The Governor spoke over two hours, to the great delight of the audience, and was fol lowed hy Senator Ransom fur sn hoar in the same style. They both clsim North Caro lina for the Democracy by 21,000 majority. We .Ylnst stand to Baltimore. On next Tuesday the grand National Council of the Democracy meets at Balti more to determine the programme for the tarty in the great I'lcaidcnlial contest thb year. Large Bute conventions have been held. T be questions at issue have been fully discussed by the press and on the stump. Delegates l.ave been selected of high Character, acknowledged ability and leading prominence. There 1ms been ample time for a full pressionof opinion and a lull gauge of every shade of political sentiment, and for the champions of different policies to impress their views on the parly. Therefore the body will in its deliberations be especially representative of public scnli meat. W c have, upon various occasions, even at tbe risk of a charge of monotonous iteration, urged the necessity of harmonious concert of action opon whatever line the large ma jority of tiiu great army of intelligent and patriotic Democrats may select. We can, as a party, alone affect the administration of the government for tho next four years by united action. The party most work as s did, zealous unit. The work of confer ence b nearly over. Whatever diversities of opinion as to the policy to he persued may have divided ns, the time for difference ceases when the plan of bat Je b arranged, the alignment made and the order given for the contest to commence; and whatever the action taken, it must be such as to bind etery true Democrat in the bind. The Baltimore Convention is the last act of the conference. Wc must go into it strong in the spirit to engage in the council chamber os becomes thinking, sensible, practical, right-headed, honorable men, and to stand to its arbitrament as obedient, self- denying, chivalrio soldiers in a great cause Welt Put. The Grillin Georgian well puts the matter upon one of our am temporaries that incon siderately charge journals with being Gree ley papers that only will support Greeley as a dernier resort. Tho couracof Tint Constitution to which he objects is similar to that adopted by the late Biatc Democratic Convention which was composed of delegates immediately and di rectly from the people. The Convention even went so fur as to approve the course of that paper by honoring its editor to the posi tion of u delegate from the Stale at large to tin- Baltimore Convention. The cliaigc that a man is a, Greeley man, or a paper a Greeley paper, as used by some, carries with it a meaning which misrepre sents, we fear wilfully, those against whom it b made. We are all Democrats. We want a Democratic candidate. But, if to elect a Democrat is impossible and Baltimore says of the two evils Grco- Icy 'is the lesser, wo will take hiut. No one nuw seriously asserts that there b a possible chance for a Democrat to lie elected, aud those who wish to abide the action of the jiarty in Convention assembled, have thought it (inadvisable to pursue a course which would, in a small dcgice, retard in ad vance the movement which seems to he inevitable aud which promises us tho meet good. If The Constitution, which has taken no stand for Greeley,. b to ue styled a Greeley paper, tltose who oppose Gr.eley must favor Grant, when there are but these two candi dates in the field Now, Brother Willingham would think it unkind if we were to state that his paper was a “Grant paper. 1 * Wc will do nothing of the kiud, however good a reason wc may have for doing so. It is none of our business'to “ lake up Trus Constitution's fight, hut the charge made against that paper can, with the same propriety, he made against a majority of the Georgia press, against the late Biatc Demo cratic Convention. That charge, with its distorted meaning—a meaning which the un scrupulous, designedly and maliciously will attach to it—wc consider untrue. Those who use it are guilty of an unkindness which wc think should be indulged in no more. Front theGwlnnctt Herald ] Col. »m. J. Winn (or Senator.

Issue after taking the Ed itorial charge waa on the 17th. of April last —from that time to the 1st of July we have audio] one hundred and fifty-seven new Snb- scrib-re to onr Subscription Book, being at the rate of about 55 names monthly, with onr list daily in creasing. The Georgian circu lates through tho whole length of the Cen tral Bail Road from Savannah to Macon, flailing Subscrinen at almost every Post Of fice on tbe ruate. It permeates extensively through the c am ties of Jefferson. Burke, Emanuel, Bollock, derives, Tatnall, Mont gomery, Johnson, Laurens, Wilkinson, and Washington and has now by far the largest cirrnlauon of any weekly paper in Central Georgia. Over a very large scope in aoo-e of those counties, it b the sole medium uf communication. Tbe class of Subscribers are the Interior Merchants and the substan tial planters of the conn'iy. These facts present the strongert induce ments to Factors, wholesale Dry Goods Mer- chtnta, wholesale Grocery Merchants, whole sale Drag Merchants, Machinrats, Guano Mer chants and Agents, Jewellers, and in fact every branch of trade and industry, who de sire to extend their business and acquain tance, to advertise liberally in the Central Georgian, and which can he done on most advantageous terms.—SindcmiBe Georgian. Cstua. The receipts thb week are 3,000 bales— 13,000 bales less titan last year, and 8,000 leas than two years since. It b likely the receipts for next week win be 3,000 bales, compared with 15)000 last year, and 9,000 the year be fore, and receipts at interior towns 500 boles, compared with 2,500 last year and 1,000 the fax before. The average of the thermometer for the past week has been eighty-nine degrees at noon. For three days it stood at 92 degrees, five clear days, two cloudy and showery days. The cotton plant is growing and taking on fruit as fast as possible, but if we bare a few of very wet weather from thb time there wm be great complaints of grass, cater- pillar*, and shedding of squares, and young bolls; if so, thb may affect the price. We know many persons laugh at the idea of there being any signs by which tbe weather can be foretold for even a few daya ahead, bat "old probabilities” b fsst dissipating thb idea. The weather may be dry all tins month, but if there b troth in indications, we shall have a wet month for the balance of July. - The telegrams from Liverpool last week were so badly mixed that they caused us to make some errors in our circular, but wc now have our own private dispatches from Liver pool, and give the figures ss they actually stand. Block of American b 339,000 bales; estimated stock was 334,000; increase 5,000 bales. Block of Brazil b 191,000; estimated stock was 194,000; decrease 3,000 bales. Stock of Egypt b 79,000; estimated 75,000; increase 4,000 bales. Stork of East India b 308,000; estimated 345,000; increase 23,000 bales. Stock ot West India, etc., b 34,000 ; estimated 321)00; increase 2,000. This makes an increase of Liverpool stock 31,000 bales. Tbe stock st Liverpool for the last seven times it has been counted has resulted as fol lows: Total stock reduced 25,000 bales; American increased 13,000 bales; total reduced 40,000; American 30,000; total re duced 63,000; American 70,000; total reduced 84,000; American 37,000; total reduced 135,060; American 123,000; total increased 84,000; American 51)000; total increased 31,000; American 5,000. In our last circular the figures made us say the Manchester spinners required 38,- 000 hales American per week for 1872, that was the amount of tbeir takings, bat ns they increased their stocks at the mills 240,000 bales, the actual requirement was 83,000 bales per week, and as some new mills have been added since, and are all running full time, they are actually consuming 33,000 bales ner week now. Manchester spinners have bonght, in the last six weeks, only 23, 000 bales of American per week; so they most have reduced their stock of thb sort 08,000 bales, and as they have taken 00,000 baits less of all sorts for the past three weeks, and 31,000 found to be over, upon count, of stock at Liverpool, which inu-t be dedneted from their stock, wc find tbe slock at Manchester is only 90,000 bales, compared with 190,000 three weeks ago. Tbe question b how long can they go on buying 20,000 bales a week less than their consumption ? We already see signs of the bear party giving way, and in a week or two at the furtberest, spinners will have. to buy largely again. New York has also given way $ of a cent the past week. Thb fall was occasioned by tbe large stock reported at Liverpool last week, causing some weak holders to loSe con fidence, and the fear that the very fine ap pearance of the growing crop just now would cause spinners to hold off. We think all these things have been fully discounted, and now as spot ;have fallen two cents, and August contract three and a half cents, and our own spinner* must have run off a large quantity of their surplus stocks, we do not expect to see the price go any lower, and if there b reputed injury to the growing crop from any cause, we may have higher prices before thirty days. One cause of a larger consumption of raw cotton thb year b, that wool has nearly doubled in price the past year and therefore larger amounts of cotton have been mixed with wool than heretofore. The same cause will also increase the sale of cotton goods all over the world, especially among the poorer cla-ses. We do not think the timo has come yet to sell short for the winter months. Tlie state Hoad M ease, The city has been agog for tho last week with excited gossip shunt tho State Road lease, and various accounts have crept into the papers over the State through correspon dents. The pith uf the matter seems to be the tes timony of Captain White, President of the Macon and Western Railroad, who was a les- •oe hut who has sold out Ho b said to have added, to hb testimony given when a lessee, by additional evidence since he ceased to be a lessee, lib later testimony is said to be to the effect that Kimball told him $180,000 bad been used to get the lease. On thb it b also reported that four of the committee will report against the lease for fraud, and one that no fraud had been disclosed. Subsequent gossip says that Brown on the 15th will go before the committee and show everything to be dear. An immense smonnt of conjecture and crimination b floating about, which it b needless to repeat. We allude to the matter simply to explain why The CoNsrmrnon, which b always so prompt in furnishing all news of interest has been silent on the subject. As we print the testimony in these investigations, as the Pub lic Printer, we have access to the facts, aud therefore, know just the amount of truth in the wildernss of gossip that has been breed ing out of half understood matters. But the committee has adopted the rule of silence in regard to the testimony, a rule founded in strong propriety and which we have rigidly respected, both as a matter of honorable ob ligation and public good. The publication ot the partial evidence aa it progresses, changing as it does daily, is no criterion of tbe ultimate result, and is calcu lated to embarrass the committee in its duty by the pressure of public sentiment, and tbe constant ferment of public pnjudice. Testi mony b rebutted- The aspect of the matter may change a dozen times. Great injustice may he done to the reputation of innocent persons. To enable the Investigation Com mittee to do their work coolly, dispassionate ly, searchingly and impartially, the role of silence baa been proven to be best by tbe very hubbub occasioned by the leaking out of White’s testimony. When the work has been completed, all sides heard from, and the entire evidence collected, then will be the proper Jtime for results to be given to the public. With the whole nutter before them, the people can then pass a correct judgment, and not until ten. The good name of some of onr’ first is iirrolTed in thb lease matter. Their high character and standing doa not, should nob and will not relieve them from a proper responsibility if they have done wrong, but it should protect them from a premature con demnation on a partial inquiry. It will be but a very short while before the sulject in ill its developments and bearings will be made public.

Andrew 1L IL Dawson, Esg.: Sm—Your favor of the 24th of 3Isy, stating that yon indnccd t the Georgia Bond Committee to come to New York, is received. Yon desire me to recognize your claim for services in the matter, and to express my sentiments eloquently upon 'that subject in a check, which yon say you will promptly and gratefully acknowledge. -Ibis to say-. First, that I never employed you, and never heard of you be fore. Second, that I consider the visit of the Georgia Bond Committee to New York a perfect farce and a disgrace to the State of Georgia. The committee came hive os I be lieve to “mouse” round, and try to get ex cuses for repudiation, and I am advised that they intend to report in favor of repudiation. Instead of paying you for inducing such fellows to come to New York, I would rather contribute to a fund to help them aud all like them away from New York, for oil time to come. You say that I got my bonds before they were registered. You are mistaken. My bonds were registered in the office of the Secretary of State, and the records there show it You say that you area” G.-orgiau.” lam sorry for you. In my judgment it is not just now a matter to boast of. Yours, etc., William F. Drake. Nkw York, June 21,1S72. IK. F. Drake: Your epistolary squawk ot yesterday Hatched me |ter post a moment ago. It is felicitously impudent. I shall give it an luring in Georgia, may or may not benefit you. We’ll see. Had your reply been respectful it would have gone with all recollections uf yon, into the waslc basket; hut you sueui ambitious of at tracting utlcntion and I will flatter your vanity by descending to your level fora moment. You say your bonds were already registered. Then why did you. segister them again? Did the law require them to he regis tered? It yea, what do yon take by your plea ? If nay, I ask again, louder still, wuv DID von UKOiSTSR TUKM ? Have you a passion for this sort of amusement ’ Then it wus a luxury, 1 thought, to you door, aud for it I demand my wages. You say that you did not employ me. That is true. That vou never heard of me, that is immaterial. The question is have I served you? I did. At whose instance? Your friends. Did you accept the services? You did. Have you |tuid for it ? Not one cent. Do you intend to pay for it? You say no. A lovely pink of honor iudeeda re you, sir to cock yourself up to pertly prate about repudiation in the very breath in which you yourself pcritulrtOu that very self-same .outrage upon good morals. Your rambling twaddle sounds like the rav ings of a rabid Radical, who had re joiced at the frauds by which Grant made Bullock Governor of Gooigia, and had seized with avidity upon tlic Drat hint Bullock gnvc you to join him in a crusade against the un protected Treasury of the State, only to real ize how swift and sure is the detection of crime, and how stern and severe arc the pen alties of justice. Io the same sentence in which you salute Georgia with a sneer, you tender me your compassionate sympathy. U can reasonably cost me nothing to have been a Georgian, that I will not resign without a regret, but if a counterfeit presentment of yonr compassion is all I am to receive for whatever malice may make it cost me, small indeed will mv losses have to be when I shall be able to feel that your crocodile tears squares tho account Your loss of temper in a note to me on busi ness, displays a taste and a discretion worthy to be insepcrablu concomitants, but I cannot say that tlic one surprises, or that the other disgusts me. I have had occasions of late to dissect, professionally, too many subjects of your style of anatomy after their moral de composition had set* in, to be disgusted any longer with stench or surprised by deformity, and I can readily realize how bitterly you must hale a noble people whose liberties you conspired to destroy, whose till you put up a job to tap, whose peace you would mock with the bayonet, whose indus try you would cripple with taxes, whose mo tives you would misconstrue with malice, whose fame you would lie to slander, and whose justice you dread to meet, and would, if you could, hide to escape; but you must remember you entered this war under Bul lock’s flag, and you must share its fate. There is a book wherein it is written, ‘‘He who lives by the sword must die by Hie sword” and as your General is a skulking fugitive, it would really scent that you are writing un der the ghastly impression that your hour has come. If it has, let me warn you that no man ever died mad and made a comely corpse. Yours, Ac., Andrew H. H. Dawson. P. 8.—Your General's motto was G. O.

Jerusalem, Palestine, Jane 3,1872. Editors Constitution: Knee I wrote you last, which I believe was from Alexandria, wc have been constantly going from place to place without one moment’s rest, and conse quently feel at though it would be not unac ceptable. Each moment of thoday has been full of interest, furnishing us with some new fact and thought, worthy of notice and re membrance. Sights and impressions have crowded upon my mind with such fearful rapidity and variety, that I find my powers of observation overtaxed, and mind too full to attempt to arrange tbe facts, describe ex perience and convey impressions upon paper, with any degree of order or sense whatever. In days past I have looked with feelings of envy upon the person who could visit JertL-a- h-m. My feet have pre'—'-d ’be soil of the Holy City, and 1 freely online* Jerusalem, in reality, is very dill-rent from ih- - city of my past dicauia. The stiveto are narrow and filthy, the houses jamr, gray, ruinous masses, though there are a few modern houses. Indeed, the old city of Jerusalem lies buried forty feet below the present city, which is built U|M*n the ruins of the old. The Miteqde of Omar, which stands on Mu Moriah, and is said to occupy the sito of King Solomon’s Temple, is not half so grand an edifice, cither in size, decoration or finish as the Mosque of Mchcmet Ali in Uiu old city of Cairo. In both we are obliged to take off our shoes and tint on cloth siippcra before entering. Tlie Mosque uf Ulnar is octagonal, and the material or which it is laiilt is of bine and white marble. In the center Manila an immense block of stone, which Moham medan tradition says started to follow the Prophet when about to Icstc Jerusalem on a visit to Mecca. Under the stone is a cave in which every prayer ia said to be granted, have reason to disbelieve that saying. Tho inciosure in which tlic Musqtre stands contains, I should say, about two anil a half acres of ground. Tho walls of Jerusalem fonn two sides, tho oilier two sides being the walls which cut it off from the main portion of the city. The church of the Holy Sepulchre is an imposing edifice, and incloses the place called Calvary and the Tomb of Jesus; also, the Tombs of Joseph and Nicodcmus. It is also wlieie tlie Savior appeared to Mary after tile resurrection. The Hill of Zion is outside tlio walls, south of Jerusalem. It is where tlic last sup|ier is said to have been eaten. On tbe wett is the Jews’ Wailing Place,” when: they gather every Friday to lament over tlie destruction of tile temple. The stones are worn smooth with their kisses and ore wet with their tears. East of the city, in the Valley of Jehosa- phat, is the Tomb and Chapel of tlic Virgin, Close by is tlie Ganlcu of Uathsamcnc. where Sh Stephen was stoned to death, anil where Christ suffered the agony anil bhudy sweat. Bctlilckein is six miles cast of Jenisa'em. Tho Cave of the Nativity is under the oldest Christian Church in the world. Thu Uoor ami walls are of marble. At tlic eastern end of tho room, or cave, is a stiver star. A little ways from the star is a recess in which is a block of marble made to represent a manger. The original wooden one is at St. Maria Mag- giore, at Rome. Three miles west of ReUilehcm lie the Pools of Solomon. The Dead Sea and River Jordan arc about eight or tire hour’s ride from Jerusalem. I was disapiKiinted in tlic size of Jerusa lem. A person can walk entirely around it in less than an hour. It contains aliout 15,000 inhabitants, though where they oil live is more than I can tell. Nearly nnc- tbinl arc Jews; the rest made up of Moham medans and Christians of various denomina tions. At Jaffa, 38 miles fiom Jerusalem, the old est lion in the world, and where it is said Noali built the Ark, and Hiram King, of Tyre, brought tlic Cedars of Lebanon for tile building of the Temjrfe, wo embark for Constantinople; from tbence to Athens, in Greece, Rome, Florence, Milan, Turin, through the lit. Cents Tunnel, and Geneva, where I hope to hear from home and stop Ion g enough to rest. From Alexandria wc went to Naples, where wc visited the ruins of Nero's time. The palace of Julius Caesar—Ml Vesuvius, tlie city lately destroyed by the eruption— stood upon the still smoking lava. Walked the streets of Ponqicii, tlie silent city of the dead, and saw other things of interest, too great to write about now. Wo 'were com pelled to retrace otir steps, going from Naples to Sicily, Alexandria aud then to Jerusalem. 0(JU UlLTItlORE LETTEtt.

At tbe invitation of an <■- teemed friend, I visited the Sunday-School of the Central Frcsliyterian Church, *.f which the Rev. Mr. Leftwitch is Uie gifted and pious pastor. It* dosing exercises were marked bv an incident which pleased and impressed me. Major Campldl Wallace, no well and favorably known to the railroad public, after hearing a recitation from hb class, l*y request of Uie pastor, addressed the school, in most ap propriate words. As a favorable sign of the limes, he alluded to tho fact that tlic leading secular papers in Georgia were devoting a portion of their space to religious and moral homilies and Snbtnth reading. We shall he glad to sec the Christian example ot Major Wallace more generally imitated. It being the commencement Sunday of the Ogktbonu University, 1 Usd the pleasure of listening to a very able and appropriate discourse from uiy old and esteemed friend, the Rev. Dr. Wills, the honored l’reudcnt ut this Institution, in the same church which was densely crowded. The textof the learned preacher was the (location of PiUlc to Jesus—“Wliat ia Irutii?” Throughout hb eloquent discourse, Christ was held up as tin- grand, living, glowing, immortal embodi ment of truth, to which all - things in heaven and earth and under the earth must he subservient. Against the pre vailing tendency to showy formalism in tho spirit and usages of the times, he robed a warning note, whilst he inculcated that brood and hearty Catholicism which embraced all Christian people. The fact is, Mr. Editor, I fear much of the religion of the times b a solemn travesty on the religion of the Bible. It b party before piety. Mint, annis, cumin and bread phylac teries, with little of that Godlike chuicly which holds oil men denr anil and links and hinds the Christian world in a common brotherhood, and all aspiring to tho lofty and sunny bights of n common paternity and per petual home.

I regret that my engagements would not permit me to accept a polite invitation to remain and witness the commencement exercises. Hurriedly yours, J. K.
