A wise govornment would prepare in sea- gon some new etimulus, in the ehape of liberal | measures for the increased happiness of the people. | We are happy to find that no disturbances of a | Political character are anticipated in London; yet, | if we may credit « provincial paper, # vory euepl- | hour circumstance bas occurred.

One of the suits now pending between the North aud South sections of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh, came on before the United States Circuit Coart on the nineteenth instant, in this eity—Judgos Nelson and Betts presiding. This suit is a very important one; and we find for the Southern divi- sion of the church, the Hon. Reverdy John- son, Mr. Daniel Lord of this city, and Mr. John- son, jr., acting as counsel. For the Northern divi- sion, the Hon. Rufus Choate of Boston, and Messrs. George Woed and E. L. Fancher, of this city, are engaged. The Hon. Mr. Ewing, also, is watching the case for the Northern division, being counsel in a correlative case pending in Ohio. From such an array ot talent on both sides, it is quite apparent that the case iz of great inte- | Fest to the parties engaged, and a byief survey of it is necessary for the instruction of the general reader, who may not have examined the case. The Methodist Episcopal Cnarch is @ voluntary | association. Up to June, 1844, unincorporated by any legal enactment, it numbered seven bishops and four thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight preachers. The sum total of members was esti- mated to be above one milion one hundred thousand persons, organized by a General Conference, anda number of subordinate annual conferences. That which is popularly called the ‘Book Concern” of this city, and valued at sevon mundred and fifty thousand dollars, is one of the religious educational engines ofthe body. In 1844, however, questions ecnnected with the holding of slaves created ani- motities in thie voluntary institution, and ite unity wae dissolved. It was thereafter known as two bodies, distinguished by the sectional names of North and South. The Southorn members had done most to enrich the Book Concern; but they were denicd the one-half of it, which, in equity, without any bar to such @ proceeding, they na- turally would have been entitled to. This half is now the eause of the actign before the Cireuit Court, and involves many questions with respect te church government, as well as enggests many philosophi- cal thoughts with respect to the influence of such organizations on the character of republican insti- tutions—being, as they are virtually, ecclesiastical courts, which call to their bar, and have power to try, convict and disgrace members, as well as to aceumulate large estatce in land and other pro- perty, and to set up troublesome, if not dangerous, powers. This extraordinary quarre!, it will be seen, is not abont souls alone. On the contrary, what & spec- tacle of worldliness does it present to Christ and bis apostles, and those who have ascended into Heaven during the pest eighteen hundred years! We per ceive all the array of the law, lawyers, and a mighty company of earthly spectators, to the number of about ten millions of Christians, in organized churches, interested in this singular strife over the materials which, the combatants profess, are to be used for the «alvatisn of sinners and the progress of the gorpel. ‘The Presbyterian population, who have divisions ameng themselves of a kindred cha- racter, are deeply interested; and the Baptists. also, divided into antagonistic parties, look on with The Catholics and the Episcopalians | arxietics of the same nature, because they lire in | e harmony, and have not interfered with | the political construction of eociety. | At the first sight, thie great controversy may ap- | pear to be but a question of law or equity, involv- ing dollars and cents. This is not so. It goes fur beyond any technicalities of the legal profession. It has sprung out of political dogmas, incessantly urged by those who care less for Christ’s kingdom | than their own personal ambition and love ofempty distinction. The question is connected with the political excitements of the day. It is a branch of the same fanaticiem which has produced the excite- ment recently displayed in South Carolina, and in the disgraceful scenes of Syracuse and of Boston. Ite origin may be traced, with mathematical ¢ xacti- tude, to the efforts made twonty-five years ago, by G ‘on wd his little satellites in Boston, and by city, to cetablish organized agitating and anti- structive purposes alone. The first fruits are now visible—the effect is before us. We behold, already, the division of three great sects lato fragments, and | the splitting of the two political parties of the country into factions, without any rational pur- pore or object. The next result may be the des truction of the Union f Now, those movements, originally made by Gar- rison and hia coadjutors, were based on tho philosophi- cal dogmas of Voltaire, practised epou by the Robes pierre republicans of France, which, after a repose of fifty years, have been rovived for the parpose, one must believe, of dabbiing the world in the blood of another St. Domingo. Thomas Paine aad Thomas French revolntion, made the etreots of Paris ran with blood, like water, sowed tho seed of fanati- cis, by their famous dogma that ‘all men are born free and equal" —a dogma beautiful in sounds but empty, transcendental, and truthlese in fact. All men, on the contrary, are born weak and imbe- elle, and, in fact, staves. They acquire rights only by age, education, the exertion of intellect, by honesty of action, by industry, and by the advance of civilisation in society. The dogma so often cited ae the basis of our government, isa hollow and senreless sound; and it is time that the ideas thrown among the people by Jefferson and Paine, originating in the philosophy of Voltaire, should be cnet atide as political charlataniam of the mort | deetructive character. While we have been under it, it has kept us ina state of agitation; and we bo- | bold tl d happiness of twenty-five millions pe keep op &® wero delusion. Our political m ur courts of justice, our ehurebes, our ednea- stew, our business operations—in fact, every of life, is 2 ected with the spirit of this false ata pertilentin! politieal tie.

The whig party in that State, and | the democrate there, are sadly split up into ditcor- dant cliques and rival factions, of which office is tho | chief bond of combination. Among tho democrate | Simon Cameron, Rea Fraser and Co., threaten open | mutiny and secession, if James Buchanan is not | thrown overboard as a Presidential pandidate; and they swear the vote of the Stato all not be given | for him, at all hazerde. The friends of Casa, | Douglas, Houston, Dallas, Butler, Woo ibury, and, | in fact, all the other candidates, unite with them, and they form a powerful phalanx. They hold | separate conventions, but the probability is, to avoid certain defeat by the whigs, they may agree fee. on a mixed ticket. We shall witness, however, a good deal of recrimination between the contesting factions. | With the whigs, James Cooper, the United | States whig Senator from that State, mutters | vengeance against Fillmore & Co., if Lewis, tho | Philadelphia Collector, is not dismissed; and, if his fishes are not complied with, he will, doubtless, — se in favor of Genera! Scott, or somebody | else besides Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Corwin. He | may go for Webster, as it is understood he wae , and is opposed to Lewis’s continuance. Onthe other hand, Governor Johneton declares if Lewis is re- moved, he will hoist the Scott bann@ forthwith, and that Scott shall be nominated at the approach- ing convention. A few dayr ago, a gentleman at Washington (not our regular correspoudent) on the authority of Senator Cooper, wrote to the Herald a statement which we published, as follows:— | Wantine rom, May 6, 1891, Mr. William D. Lewis, the Qolleetor of the Jusioms for the District of Philadelphia, is once more triumphent, | and will retain his place, from whieh there baws trrmendous efforts made to have him remov | Senator Cooper and the whig committee been | defeated. The joint opinion of Seeretaries Webster, Graham, | Cenred and Stuart, has beew set at by Preshdent | Fillmore. This has had its effect, and Mr, Webster, itis | said, seriously thinks of resigning. To this eourse he ix advised by Mr. Senator Cooper and the whig cammittee. The whig committee bave learned from Preeident Fill- | mere the reason why he retains in office Mr. Gollestar | Lewia, Goy, Johnston has addremed the Prosident also, aud has declared that he will not be a candidate for re-cies- | tion, If bis friend, Mr. Lewis, i# not retained fo his post | fa Collector, To this President Filmore has reptied | that the Collector shall be retained. Mr, Cooper told Mr. | Fillmore tbat this pledge to Gov. Johnaton was s pledge | to 9 coalition with free soilism, and that the Union men of Pennsylvenia would ali so treat it. | it is farther understood thet Mr. and bis friends will now op ‘no obstacle to the nomination of | Gen. Feott for the Pres'deney, at the Penmeylvania Staw Whig Convention. which will be in session next moath, while Lewis and hie friends have pledged themevives to prevent this, Mr. Cooper told the President that Gen. Scott would be nominated by an almost unanimous vote. | Mr. Webster will not be a party to this eoatition with | free soilirm, and will not remain to sesiet Mr. Filimore’s couse; but it ix said that he ts determined to tesign— leave the cabinet, and set up for himself, Some of the organs denied the correctness of this statement, and it wax questioned by our regu- | lar correspondent. Since then, the author of the first letter again addressed us, and we published his letter yesterday, stating— This is a great cowatry, and some great things are done in it. The telegraphic communication from me, whieh — appeared in the Herald on Monday last, aitbough eontra- dicted and laughed at, on the ipse digit of the Treasury Department, was a true bill of what took place between the President and Bepator Cooper and the Philadelphia — committee. and between Mr. Secretary Webeter and the ame committee. If the trath must be told, I had ail | the facts from the mouth of Senator Cooper and some of hia distinguished associates. The ecquel will establish | the truth of all I bare communicat d. We have not any doubt of the entire truth of the statements given by us to the public; and if they | are disputed authoritatively by Senator Cooper or President Fillmore, and if they are in ignorance of H our correspondent, the authority hall be yielded te them upon their requisition. We desire to do all full justice. Senator Cooper doubtless knows | who our informant ix, without inquiry, and we | think, therefore, the question ie already solely be- tween him and Mr. Fillmore and Governor John- ton. They can settle it between themselvor, though the public may demand to know how it is settled. We at first thought Mr. Fillmore wae io an awk- ward dilemma, as it reepects dismissing or continu- ing Lewis; but he has managed it quite adroitly, though we cannot commend hie course on the score | of dignity, decision, or loftiness. He does not de- cide Lewis's case finally and conclusively till afer | the convention is over, thus keeping Jobnstoa und Cooper both in chock. If Senator Cooper’s statement is not erroneous, however, in one point of view, the whole aduir ix lameutebly morttfying, and, indeed disrusting, to every true friend of republican institutions, aud their preservation from impurity ead corruption. Federal official patronage is avowodly employed, for party and political purposes. Tho Presidentand the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania are pre- sented to the world—tie one levying e kind of official polition! blaok mali, and the other receiving it. Fo- deral appointments and offices aro used as party capital —as the convideration for using or withhold. ing politioal influence—by (rovernors and Senators, in party conventions and contests. Some explanw | tions must be made of this business, or it will be set | down as a flagrant case of politice! Golphiaiem, | and will of itself ruin those voncerned, ia Peunsyl- vania and elsewhere.

A movement has been made by the Coryoration of Brooklyn, to compel the Long Islang Railroad Company to abandon its motive power upon entering the city, apd establish horse power.

The corn markets were active, and prices bacyant The cause of this is undoubtedly the backward state of the growing crops, and the wet, unfavorable weather which had prevalied for some time. The corp markets of Great Britain have beon supplied with an immense quantity of flour from France, at prices, it ie said, which baffle even the competition of the United Slates, This had doubtions Kept the markets quiet, sud partially necounts for the large exportation of bulition to Prange.

It ie our impression thata larye amount of bullion has been drawn from the Bank of Hngiaod by the prople of Greet Britain, for the purpose of ensbling them to visit the World's Fair, and there te no doubt but that the middle and lower ctasses have, for sone time part, been boarding their «mall eurplas earnings, ia the shep- of gold and silver, for that purpose, Thin, in the aggre ate, would make an immense amount; but it will ali ultimately get back again into the veulis of the bank, and form the basis, ae venal, of commereial credit. & portion of the exportation of gold and silycr ballien from.
