The weather, though a little hot, was delightiul, and, hotwithstauding the scorching sun, a large number Of people assembled to witness the ceremonies.

Dr. Newman on Temperance—A Stirring Appeal to Moderate Drinkers Among the Wealthy Classes—The Raco Course, the Gam- bler’s Hell and the Drama. METROPOLITAN METHODIST CHURCH. WASHINGTON, June 25, 1871. In compliance with the request of the General Conference, Dr. Newman preached thls morning on the subject of temperance, the special point on which he invited attention being self-denial for the Promotion of temperance, 4 auty anda pleasure. The text, taken from First Corinintans, chapter vilt., verse 13—“If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth"— suggested the line of thougnt, an appeal to mag- nanimity, philanthropy and self-denial. The speaker proposed to consider THY DUTY OF THE HIGHER CLASSES OF SOCIETY im relation to the temperance cause. First, he de- sired to make certain concesstons—first, that wine and liquors have their jegitimate uses, that they are not necessarily evils, not that they are indispensable, but in certain places and for certain purposes they are beneficial. Rad he time he could establish the fact that there are two kinds of wine designated in the Bible, and thus relieve certain passages ofjScrip- ture from doubt and misapprehension. Secondly, We are bound to concede that the man who drinks Wine and liquor moderately ts not a drunkard as de- Bowinated or denoanced in the Scriptures, Serip- tural drunkenness implies a ruling passion, a de- grading slavery; and we are bound to concede farther that ALL MODERATE DRINKERS do not become confirmed inebriates. The reason is found in difference of physical organism. An inhala- tion of chloroform wilt set one man asleep; a similar inhalation will set another man wild, the difference not being in the chloroform, butin the men. That some men remain moderate drinkers on account of the peculiarity of thelr orga: is not to be placed to their credit, but to the credit of their Creator. With these concessions made it may be asked, were the better classes of soctety to discontinue the moderate use of wines and liquors, would that diminish the habit and the evils of mtemperance, and how? First, it would be the expression of apprehension that confirmed — inebriety might follow; it would sound the tocsiu of alarm; it would be the re-assertion of two facts, that all aruikaras were once moderate drinkers, and that ail moderate drinkers may become confirmed drunk- ards, It would tend to dimiaish the promt that has arisen from the sale of intoxicaung liquors. tie supposed it to be a fact that the larger prouts accra- ing to the business of wines aad liquors comes to the proprietor from those which are us d by the better Classes Of society; that the proprietors of our splen- did saloons and hotel barrooms derive a LARGER PROFIT FROM FANCY DRINKS than from ‘whiskey straiguts.’’ Stop this use by the bevter class and the trade and the manufacture would diminish, and the supply of drunkards com. from the ranks of the moderate drinker would off. Many men engage in tng wholesale or retail business of selling Lyuaor, not so much from love of liquor as from cupidity, and the responsi- bility rests largely upoa those who patronize them. Thirdly, such @ atscontinuance wouid be to make drinking Uofasionabie. Fashion 18 oniy another name for pubic sentiment. FASMION 18 A MASTER AND A MONSTER, a master in the supremacy of power, a monster in the evils it inflicts upon society, What and how we eat, our style of dress, the construction of our dweil- ings, our modes oi travel are all inspired by fashion. It isa truth that fashions most always come down. They never come up. They pass from the upper classes of society and go downwards to its bottum,. Exiravagance in the rich begets extravagauce in the poor, Many a clerk has caded nis DAYS IN THE PENITENTIARY from aping the customs of thuse above him. What 18 neeved, therefore, 18 to render the custom un- fashionabie, The elements which control soctety are with the upper Classes, Their virtues and vices flow through it. Revolutions are simpiy the up- rising of the Oppressed against a corrapt aristoc- racy. Fourth, it would increase the power to per- suade. EXAMPLE IS THE INSPIRATION OF LANGUAGE. ‘The life of Christ 1s of more value to the world than His teachings. Without His lofty, symmetrical character, His life of unparalleled purity and beneyo- lence, His most terse and beautiful lessons would to mankiod as_ sounding brass and @ tnkiing cymbal. There 1s an_ objection to ths plan that is drawn from our personal lives. Personal liberty is @ grand right, and that it 13 factis one of the blessings ol the age. itis right thata man showd be jealous of it. But even personal hberty 13 bounded. A man can grow only so igh. He can only eat or sleep within certain limits. Personal liberty has its itmits and bounds, and especially & limitation growing out of the duty of philanthropy and seif-denial. There are many things innocent in this age which the Chris- tian man and every man may enjoy; but the true man prefers vo sacrifice or to deny himself that which, though innocent in itself, may be abused by and become Crimiial passion in others. You and TI HAVE A FAST HORSE, made for fleetness, made by the Almighty, and the Almighty only can make a fast horse. We are on the road, and try their speed whatever it may be— two-fifty or two-twenty—there is nothing wrong in that per’ se. Those horses were made by the Creator for fleetness, and what is more delightful than to ride behind that noble creature? But young men observe us On the road. They propose to try their Jast horses, and, in addition to the trial, bet a hun- dred dollars on the result, They transfer their habits from the road to the race course, and we see beiore them A GAMBLER'S END AND A GAMBLER’S HELL. Would not magnanimity rather rein up its flery steeds? The saine taing is true in regard to games of chance, Doubtless you and | could behold some tragedian or comedian onthe stage in some of the grand creauious of the Bard of Avon, and there would bejno sin In it, per se; for GOD MADE SHAKSPEARE and gave him lus marvellous genius, and may not the day come when men may behold those things without deleterious iniiluences? But take the asso- cations of THE DRAMA, the associations of those connected with it, and the juduence uponpociety, and the good man forgves the nw nginebs that he may save others from consequences hat may be traced to the drama and the stage. It is a higher pleasure to know that by our self-denial we have savod others from sin and death than to enjoy the pleasures of which we have denied oorseives. Pernaps the highest question a man can put to himself ts, How shall Isuier and thereby save otuersy And he only has reached the true huomanity who can answer that question by decds of phuanthropy and seif-sacriice. Dr. Newman then resented some motives to induce this sell-denial. irst, the fact that nothing great and good ts ac- complished in any department of life without the ractice of self-denial, which was well illustrated by istorical example, Second, that total abstinence Is tne only safety of some, THE SURE SAFETY OF ALI. Every career of crime has its starting point in some small offence. Where 18 woe, where 18 sorrow, where are wounds witnout cause? Where Is redness of eyes? IN THR FIRST GLASS. Be indused to this self-denialg by the happiness which will accrue to society at large. We shail infer the happiness by contemplating the misery. Stausticlans tell us that in the United States there are not less than @ hundred and thirty-three thousand places licensed to sell intoxicating liquors, employing three hundred and ninety thousand persons. Aad to this number those bane gr m the Manufacture and whoviesale trailc and the total number will reach five hundred and seventy thousand persons. Yet the whole number of clergy- men and teachers in the United States ts only a hundred and ings 3 thousand, or only about one- fourth as many. It 1s estimated that THE TOTAL COST OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS each gyear in our country is seven hundred mil- lions, to which must be added forty miilioa dollars for crix. inats, while the entire clergy of the United States does not cost thirty million dollars. Intem- perance sends to prison every year one hundred thousand persons, reduces two hundred thousand children 10 worse than orphanage, adds six hunared thousand to the long list of drunkards, and sends sixty thousand citizens to premature graves, IN NEW YORK within the last ten years, out of @ hundred and thirty-three thousand persons arrested for intoxica- Uon, sixty-six thousand Were women. This ts but a mere outitne of the picture of misery which in its full de ail God only can give. But the race can be saved irom all these woes, and the self-denial of the bigher Classes Of society can accomplish tt, PRINCETON COLLEGE. Opening Exereises of the One Hundred and Twenty-f.urth Commencement. Baccalaureate Sermon by Presi dent James McCosh. The Unity and Diversity in the Word and Works of God—Address to the Graduating Class. This venerable educational institution, with its ‘War-marred, baller-defaced, fire-ravaged, Congress- holding mtclicctual history, after nigh a centary and a quarter of honored existence, enters the arena of mind again with the freshness of renewed youth. The scene on yesterday morning in the handsome First Presbyterian church was admirably in keeping with the event. The day without was no less 80. A morning of lovely sunshine lit up the quaint town, with its white houses and long rows of wees, The gray oid college buildings touk in as much of the bold Ught as could pierce its massive Stoniness, and the gay siant sunbeams shootiug through the branches of the gtand old trees on the Campus danced im golden rings on the fresh turf beneath them, making their cool umbrageousness more grateful still, In the church had ga:hered the Jashion, wealth and beauty, arrayed in summer hues, of the surrounding district, The galleries were occupied by the 300 undergraduates, and in the front seats of tne aisie was seated the graduating class of 1871, The services throughout were very impressive. The first hymn sung was No. 342, in which the appropriate verse occurs:— When we asunder part It gives us inward pain, But we shail still be j d in heart And hope to meet again, ‘The text of the Baccalaureate sermon by the presi- dent ofthe College, Rev. Dr. McCosh, was tuken from I. Corinthians, xil., 6—There are diversities of operation, but it is the same God which worketn all 1n all,’ as compared with Revelation xv., 3—“They ging the song of Moses, the servant of God, and tne song of the Lamb.” The reverend gentleman con- tinued:—‘‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.” But white Jehovah is one, and must be one, he is represented from the beginning as having A DIVERSITY IN HIS NATURE; in the Old Testament as Elohim, a plural noun, joined to a singular verb, and in the New Testament as Father, Son and Holy Ghost; so that God never dweit in loneliness, but in the light and heat of love. The noblest expression of the Divine nature is also summed up in love; but here again is diversity in the agent himself, in the creature and in the Creator, Philosophers and artists have shown that beauty, 80 far as its delicate form can be caught, 1s ‘i UNITY WITH DIVERSITY, unity in proportion to variety and varicty in propor- Uon to unity. In the true, the good and the beauti- ful, as in God himself, there is oneness with diver- sity constituting 4 universal harmony. First, there 18 unity with variety in the works of God, We see tils 1a the matter of the universe. That matter has always been the same tn all time and space. As far back as geology goes we discover the same elements. Cuemistry tells us pro- visionally there are a little over sixty simple ‘substances, and through the spec. troscope in latter years we are enabled to trace out the same bodies we are familiar with on earth are found in the most distant stars, it may be sodium or hydrogen or some other sub- stance found on the giobe. But in what diversity dv those bodies appear in earth, water, air and Gre, as the ancient Greeks classified them? In floating ether, 2 compact metal, in crystalline order, in gems sud stars, in planets, satelutes and suus, in the foliage, flowers and frult of p!ant, in the bonea, muscies, blood and nerves of that goodly house wherein we dwell, and waich 1s so ‘fearlully and wonderfully made,” We see it in the forces of the umverse, We know that its forces, active and potential, are always the fame, Man cannot increase or dunimish them. Force is taken by the plant; from thence by the ante mal; from the latter by man. We may evoke it in one form; we may dispeuse with it; but still it con- Unues, Like the vapors which arise from the sea, and, after forming clouds, rain, mills and rivers, re- turn to the ocean again. Yei, im what diversiues does it appear, im Matter attracting oiler mater and holding atoms aad worlds together, according to their friendships and strifes, as Empedocies of old expressed, WE SEE IT RVERYWHERE, like the ocean ever-changing and yet the same, in every star and planet, moving ever and yet securing an undisturbed stability. We see it In the matter and ferces of tne universe, which might have been what they are, aud yet scat. ter nothing but confusion, suffering and terror, in- stead of order, happiness and confidence, We see it in the seasons, in the birth, growth and§ maturity of animated beings. These do not arise trom the rade matter or blind forces of the world, but mens to the end of order intorm of natural law. Without them experience wonid be mseless—notiing could be foreseen, The future is made to resembie the past, and inan lays plans accordingly. The order is periect, as in the joints of mun. We havea ball and socket joint at the shoulder which would be @ weakness at the ingers. THIS 18 PROVIDENCE which oversees and directs all tie system so exqui- sitely sensitive that it moves with our Whule being. We see ii in our mental talents and tastes, and their fitness to man’s position, The spiral coulormauon of the nebular groups, the eiliptic orbits of the plan- ets, the hyperbolic curves of comets are all accord- ing to mathematical laws, and cau be evolved by pure thought, In man and woman we may not see these exact curves, because they are lost to us in the sweep of an infinite variety. Here is the pomt where physics and metapiysics meet. lan, @ tuste for the beauty in God’s works, in the contemplation of His creation. He has faculties of a high order, and cultivates them 1n aris, in literature, in poetry and proze, where the most exquisite thoughts meet and blend. Ut is clear, then, that OUR INWAKD AND OUT: OUTWARD NATURES are admirably suite to thelr condition in the wor!d. Secondly, there is unity with diversity in the Word of God. It was written at different umes and laces by men of different tastes and talents. Yet 1 ig one pure stream rising in Eden, covered at the fatl, now widening, Dow narrowing, bat ever flowing to the ocean ol eternity; one progressive march of prophecy; one grand creed, For as tnere 1s only one God there is only one Word. Lt ts all but @ development of a plan of redemption. In the sacrifices of Noah, in those of the patriarcus we come down to that of Christ on the cross. In the lirst Book of Word js the sacridice of & lamb, in the last there ts the Lamb of God. THE EXPERIENCE OF BELIEVERS the unity and div ty isthe same. We feel a strik- Ing difference between us and the children of Israel coming out of Egypt. Yet the song of Moses of tri- umpn through stvering 1s the same as the song of the Lamb, if He ratsed up a deliverer tor Israel, 18 not a greater than Moses here? If He fed Israci in the wilderness, docs not fis spuitual manna nour- ish us now? That Old 1¢es.ament is all history, and yet it looks like @ parable, so adapted ts it to our position, God suits tis grace to our Wants and our dispositions. Let none doubt because ali can- not equally grasp the same degree of goodness, for as their bodies bore diferent teatures their souls will take duferent hues to be transplanted to heaven, there to shine among tne jewels of heaven, Lhe chorus there wit biend all voices In harmony in helping to xing the song of the Lamb. Thirdiy—Tnere is an accordance between ihe Word and works of God. ‘The one teaches by argu- ment, by appeals, by threatenings, by promises, an tells of @ sin-hating God, Who yet pardons iniquity; the other teaches us by forces, by laws, and shows order and beneticence. There are times wheu SCIENCE AND SCRIPTURE SEEM TO CONTRADICT each other, Geology requires very long ages to ex. plain its phenomeng, in strata and races of animals ov the eartn’s suriace, while iustronomy seems to say that so long a time nas not elapsed since the earth was formed by the rotation of nebulous mat- ter. There is the same apparrent incongruity be- tween Genesis and geology. In the first it ts stated that the sun came forth on the fourth day; this Is not. relatively coniradicted in the second. Each says that the tnani- mate was formed before the animate and in cach man is made to rise up from the dust of the earth, Thus has the Great Truth anticipated geo- logy by 3,000 years. So between nature and revela- tion, both showing but one God.

He defended the course of the college in directing the studies, and while allowing & certain wise amount of liberty in the choice of subjects in the higher classes, bee bit ail to be well grounded tn the best elements of # sound and Hberai education. ‘there 1s a disposition, he said, in some American colleges, and these the iost advauced, to give a liberty, 1 call 16 LICENSE IN STUDY, tothose seeking the bachelor’s aegree.

In this college we mean to resist this tendency and to insist on all who olaim our de- gree being grounded in certain fundamental branches, = such a3 languages, literature, acience and philosophy, which discipline the mind and open the way to all kinds of knowledge. Now- adays many are allowed to choose exclusively a few branches, such as modern language and some favor- tte branch of physt science, in the Idea that they are practically uscfal. Two evils follow. They neglect when young some elementary branch, aud find when it lias become irksome to begin a new study that they have not the nay to open the richer treasures of knowledge. Another evil consequence follows, After alt vhey have acquired #& contracted and not alibderal education. They come under the miluences of a sectarian prejudice, and bigoted rather than Catholic sp.rit, and are apt to fall Into positive error on the one side or the other, especiatly on such all- important subjects as philosophy and religion, by not being tn a position to perceive that oue truth is limited by another, The Rev.

The Bisaop has resided in the East many years, and is deeply interested in the spread of civ- iiization among the Mongolian race, He is thorougly acquainted with the designs of the Man- darins, and is at the same time tully in the conn- dence of the foreign representatives and the whole residents generally. His views, therefore, are con- sidered of importance, and, on the invitation of his Episcopalian breturen, he déitvered an address on the 15th inst. ta the Church of the Advent, San Fran- cisco, His subject was “Position and Prospects of Christian Missions in China and Japan.” His Lordship said that the misston of the Church of England in Shanghae owed a deep debt of gratt- tude to tho American Episcopal missionaries in that city, who had kept the converts of the English Eptsco- pal Church together when, by reason of the fatiure of one missionary’s health and the death of another, they would otherwise bave been dispersed. He said ais0, have visited the mission of your owa church—American Episcopal—at Shanghae, and can testify to its vitality and progress. I have preached More than onco at the tmportant American church on the American concession at Shanghae, fre- quented by your own countrymen, and occupying a@ high position in that settlement, donbtiess the largest and wealthiest of the open ports of China, Besides Shanzhae I am acquainted with three of your missionaries (Messrs. Howing, Bourne and Hoyte) now stationed at towns about 900 miles in the interior of the country, on the banks of the Yang-ise-Kiang.”” Several other American clergy- men restdent In China were also mentioned, in- cluding Bistop Williams, at present in Japan, of whom the speaker spoke in the highesi terms. He then proceeded to say: *Passing from these particulars, which I thought might be interesting to yourselves, allow me to say afew words of more general importance, There canbe po doubt thas our Protestant missions in China and Japan stand in need at this time of all the sympathy, support and countenance of the Christian churches tn America and Great Britain can afford them. And first, AS REGARDS CHINA, I think tt right to tell you that tne Chinese impertal government is at this cime making a very serious and determined effort to rid the country of Chris tan misstonaries, In view of the wanuer in which the Tien-tsin massacre and the Yangchow riot have been apparently regarded by Great Britain and the United States the Chinese government has become emboldened to make demands of Europe and Ame- rica in reference to missionaries and tueir converta, which, if acceded to, must greatly curtail mission work in China, if noteventually expel all miszion- artes from the country. I am informed by those who have seen the despatch (for the document has not been muse public, though tt has alreddy been torwarded by the representatives of the great Powers, European and American, residing at Pekin, to their respective governments) that It 1s drawn up in a way eminently catculated to aturact attention, and that it is in some respects as directed against Roman Catholic missions in China (appar- entiy so reasonable that—especially in the estimation of those, and they are not a few—who fail to recog- nize the distinctive principles and practice of the Roman Catholic propaganda and of the Episcopal Chureh in America and Engiand tn reference to missions) it is greatfy calculated to prejudice tie credit and therein the stability and extension of all Christian misstons in China, Protestant as well ag Roman Catholic.” THE DEMANDS OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. The Bishop next gave a statement of the demands made by Prince Kung. It was while the Foreign Ofice had in course o1 final settlement the Tien-tsin affair and when ail demaads of the Catholic Bishop, including the erection of a monument to mark the reprobation of the assassins, that the unex. pected mantfesio was launched forth, The French government, the Chinese well knew, were unadle to obtaim redress by force, and agents in Europe furnished information as to the distractions existing among the great owers, England would not act; Mr. Low, the nited States Minister, was, to say the least, neutral, and the German representative could not be cx- pecied to enter warmiy into @ defence of French rights, Prince Kung tonnd the time favorable, and ia expreasion to the redl sentiments of the man- darins respecung Chrisiian missionaries, The Tien- tsin treaues were in full force; but the treaties negotiated by Mr. Burlingame were never ratified, and remaiu unratitiea up to the preseat day. The demanas are briefly to the following etfect:— Missionaries residing beyoud tne limits of a con- sular port shall be subject to the judiciat decision and ireatment of the local mandarin mstead of the nearest consul. All mission establishments shail be supervised by Chinese officers appointed for tnat jurpose, 4 in case of a riot by a Chinese mob no compensation for ruined property shali be demanded of the place where the riot occurred, All foreign ladies shall be sent home, such teachers being injurious to the peace and reurement of Chinese female society, and no native woman shall be allowed to attcad mectings lor Chrisuaa worship. No missionary shall recefve more than forty-five converts. ‘No native children shall attend Christian schools. A pubic’ registration office shail be established, in which all baptisms shall be noted, and the abies residence and condition of the applicants recorded. Such are the leading features of Prince Kung’s despatch, and which m a few words wipes out of existence all the treaties concluded with China slace ls44. ‘There are a few more provisions of a simitar character, to grant which, in whole or in art, would be to expel the missionary from Riiva and close the door forever against hint in the discharge of his office. ‘the amount of property consisting of churches, schools, asylums, cemeteries, &c., belonging to the missionaries reaches muilions of doliars. This moucy was invested on the strength of treaties, and, of course, if the new policy of ex- clusion be carried out, this property becomes almost ‘& total loss. HOW THE DEMAND WILL BE RECEIVED, “What reply the respective governments of Europe and America,’? continued the Bishop, “may make to this anti-missionary despatch remains to be seen. But I am sure it 13 rigot that the Churches of Great Britain and America should be apprised of the pre- sent attitude of China toward the missionaries and thelr converts, in order that as ovportunities may be afforded all proper infinence may be exerted in their behalf, and that China, opened by the treaty of Tien-tsin to Christianity and civilization and commerce, shall not be agatu shut up and sealed against the Gospel of Jesus. Mr. Burlingame’s mis- sion has resnited in no bevefit to the Treaty Powers; but it would appear to have been a cloak to lide or cover sinister designs agatast the wiite residents of the empire.” THE JAVAN MISSIONS. His loraship next alluded to the condition of Christian missionarics in Japan, In that country the hostility of the government to Christianity is more marked and offensively deciared than in China, and in submitting this stacement let me ask you to hasten to the words of an American missionary (Rev. Dr. Brown) humself, grown old aud gray in his mis. sion work in Japan, who, on my leaving Yokoham: Sekt me the following communtation:— REV. DR, BROWN'S EXPERKIENOR. One of the first acts of the Mikado'’s yovernment was to reaflirm the old laws agatnst Christianity and to see that the old preciamation was posted in ‘a cor. every part of Japan, caifing all Christians « rupt set,’ ana, Imay add, denouncing Chr as “a corrupt doctrine.” This prociamatk culated to prejudice the Japanese people ag foreigners, for they regard them ail as Christians, and 18 @ persistent publ.c insult to tne treaty Powers. sht not to be allowed by the treaty Poy respect protesis against if, What is wanted ia such force of public sentiment at home as to press the governments of the several countries tual have treaty relations with Japan to watruct their ministers to use such language to the Japanese government that the rulers of the country shall see that they are in earuest, ‘ihey need nut be asked todo anythug to advance the cause of religion, A we ask 18 that they wl not proninit a Let the Japanese Government merely see the several Powers or the two great Protestant Powers—England and America—determimed to bring i about, and it wili yieid, The year 1872 wilt be @ happy or sad epoch in ‘the his tory of Japan. Secure her lverty then, and it will be secured for all time to come, if not, who can tell wheu the day ol this peopie’s emancipation wil come? JAPANESE CONVERTS TREATED AS REBELS. At this time, said the Bishop, not onty ts Chris- tiawity forbidden im Japan, but a baptized Japanese 13 neld by Japanese law to ve arevel against hits sovereign, the Mikado, Christlans are now de- ported by ihe hundreds, A few years since several thousand Christian families were seized and scat tered among the provinces. {ney were coudemned to work in mines, and, were it not for tie active in- terference of tie 1epreseatatives of the treaty Powers, these poor people woul undoubtedly, have surered death, The mines are now manned by Koman Catholic Chnistians, where they are ae'd ina kind of bondage, The narrative of the Sir Harry Parkes (steamship), wt Nagasaki, in 1809, which was to have taken a crowd of Christiaus out to sea to drown them, wili be remembcred in con- firmation of the bloo@thirsty designs Oi the Milkado'’s ollicers agaiust Chrisuan converts; nor are the Rowan Catholic missionaries aud ucir Converts the only objects of such barborous pracuces.

Address of the Central Committee to the People. BRIGHAM IN A TIGHT PLACE. Petition for the Removal of Judge McKean. THE CHURCH MURDERS INVESTIGATED, SALT LAKE Crry, June 17, 1871. Tam no revolutioni-t. I love the arts of peace, and see greater glory there than in the tented field, I would mourn to see the people here engage in a doubtful revolution and an unnecessary civil war; but there comes a time in the history of communi- ties as wellas of that in individuals when the asser- tion of rizit has gotto be made with the purpose of maintaining tt at whazever cost. Brigham Young has brought this community to that exact posttion, and we are now entering upon the most interesting period of our political life. Throughout the vast domatn of history there is emblazoned upon every page of national tife, ia un- erring and palpable fact, that liberty is not oaly the Inspiration of heaven, but that its attainment ts the sober work of the mauly hearts of those who would dare to woo her to their bosoms, Hereditary bondsmen, ye who would be free, Yourselves must strike the blow, is agrand inspirational sentiment, and one inval- uable in its suggestive thought, ‘Trodden down, contemptuously berated and in- sulted by proud, haughty, overreaching men, who have, m the fanaticism of their souls, assumed to be inspired leaders, the Mormons have suffered a humiliation beyond beliel; but they are awakening to@ realization of their condition and the tuevita- ble necessity of revolution, An involuntary and hearty exclamation of “rhank God” bursts irom the soul that contemplates and rejoices in their de- laverance from the bonds of this superstition. There 4s no individuality in life without the pains of birth, and in the struggle upon which we enter sowe will doubtless get hurt; but ultimate success 1s inevita- ble. Men cannot go back to childhood—growth is onward, like the diurnal motion of our globe. The tide ebbs and flows, so will the features of this revolution be uncertala in the passing hour, but the struggle will be crowned with victory. The silly insolence and overbearing tyranny of the Georges gave us the Fourth of July, 1776; the repe- tition of similar folly and wrong has moved the leading spirits in Utah to proclaim on the 4th of July, 1871, thelr emanctpation from the priestly thralaom of Brighain Young; anu everything ia marching on encouragingly to a glorious consum- mation. Arrangements are made fora pabilo procession of all the liberal Mormons and citizens of the United States withia the Territory, to be headed by Gover- nor Woods and the federal oficera, The miners will be out in great force in all the glory of the profes. slon—rough, ready and redshirted, or in any way that suits their fancy and their treasury, Their march through the city and before Brigham's nume- Tous household will suggest to him a new edition of Birnam Wood in march to Dunsinane, and one as fatal to him as the fulfilied prediction to pbetn. The battle cry ts, ‘ine republic! No oue man power! No Church and State |’!

A Shrewd Canadian Dealer Invades Glouces- ter and Sella Halibut Two and ‘Three Hun- dred Pes Cent Cheaper thau the Yankee Dealers—The Treaty Condemned and Gen- eral Butler Called to tae Rescue. GLOUCESTER, Mass., June 24, 1871. The Gloncester fishermen have become terribly exercised during the past few days over the inaa- guration of asystem of competition im their busl-~ ness by some shrewd and observing Canadian deal- ers in the finny tribe. The facts, as they have thus far transpired, are that when the Gloucester dshing schooner Lizzie ‘arr was captured in Dominion waters, many months stace, the provincials learned from the condition of the cargo on board that it was profitable to preserve halibut and other fish in ice. The Idea, though an old one here, was new to the Bine Noses, Fish caught and sold fresm, and without any preparation, 8 free from all tax and the Gloucester pshermen have always avait themselves of this advantage, aud instead of smok- ing or saiting certain kinds of fish on board their vessels they have brought it into port, taken it from the ice chests, &.d whoever bought from them nad to cure the fish at their own expense. It is well known that the Dominion fishermen prosecute their business at a much less expense than it 1s possible for the American fishermen to do, and as they are entitled to sell fish kept intce free of government taxes, the same as the American fishermen, it clear that they can undersell the latter right in their own ports. ‘The first tastance of this Kind took place here this week. A dealer from the lower provinces, Who saw how fish was preserved in the Lizzie Tarr yhen she was captured came in with a large cargo of halivat packed In ice and sold it for one and a half Gent per pound, and the ruling prices asked by our fishermen was from three to four aud a half centa per pound. AS soon aa the dealer nad sold his sup- ply he telegraphed for two more fuil cargoes, wh ch Will provably be here In afew days. The Gioucester fish dealers are greatly agitated they are very free in their abuse and condemnation of the treaty which permits wnat they term such an infringement upon their business. They have ap- pealed to General Butler, and he has, in turn, repre- sented the facts to the State Department in Wash! ton, but with yout chances of redress 1¢ 8 Lm} ble to anticipa’ A RICE PICTURE.
