John 4: 11. Ist, consider God's love to the Jews ; 2nd, consider His love to us of Hawaii nei; 3d, consider what we ought to do because of God's love to us—we ought to love one another, &c. This sermon of the Rev. M. Kuaea, was delivered in a most eloquent and impressive manner. The large native and foreign audience was held in fixed attention for nearly an hour. The speaker showed that he was " a workman that needeth not be ashamed." After the sermon a collection of 579 50 was taken in aid of the funds of the Ha waiian Evangelical Association. The exercises were concluded by the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Rev. A. 0. Forbes preached* sermon in behalf of foreign missions, in Fort Street Church, Sabbath evening, June 26th, from the text, Mark 4: 26, 27. Ist, the agency employed in the work of missions; 2nd, the power accompanying that agency; 3d, the certainty of the results. In referring to the results of missionary labors, Mr. Forbes gave a succinct and rapid sketch of missions in Polynesia. It was remarkably well done, and we hope the sermon will be published, or parts of it at least. It was followed by a collection of 532. The sermon of Mr. Forbes concluded the series of sermons in English and Hawaiian at the appointment of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. These several discourses formed an interesting feature of the religious services, at this annual gathering pf the Protestant missionaries. The Rev. L. H. Gulick preached a sermon Sabbath evening, June 19th, at Fort Street Church, in behalf of Home Evangelization, from the text, John 17: 18, "As thou hast sent me into the world ; even so have I sent them into the world." The sermon was a well delivered extemporaneous effort, urging upon the audience the importance of laboring for the welfare of the Hawaiian people. Some of the points were most forcibly and felicitously enforced. After the sermon a collection of $72 was taken up in aid of the cause. The Rev. H. H.Parker preached a sermon in Hawaiian in behalf of foreign missionaries, at the Kawaiahao Church, Sabbath morning, June 26th, before the united native congregations of Honolulu, from the text, Matt. 28: 19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations." The speaker gave, Ist, a short sketch of the early progress of Christianity. 2nd, he spoke of the nature of the gospel, (a) universal in its adaptation to man's wants, (b) progressive in its spirit, (c) it is a saving gospel, (d) it renews and infuses new President Lincoln's letter, on page life, («) it is everlasting. 3d, reasons why Hawaiian churches should take hold in 54th, is worthy of a careful perusal. earnest, to carry forward the work of sending A suttee recently took place at Rajpootans, India, all th* parties enjafwd In It ***. niiad and the gospel to the islands " beyond us."

We would direct the reader's attention the sketch of " Robert Gould Shaw," the gallant commander of the immortal " Massachusetts 64th." This sketch is worthy of special notice, from the fact that it was written by an English lady, and published in an English Magazine. Thus far in the history of the civil war in America, the English press has most reluctantly awarded praise to the soldiers and officers of the Union army; while the English language seemed quite too meagre wherewith to extol the chivalry of the South. We shall be a little interested to tee how the English will greet the nomination of Abraham Lincoln, for his second term, as an open Abolitionist! to Rev. W. F. Snow.—We are happy to learn by recent letters, that this gentleman has received a call from a Congregational Society, at Grass Valley, California.

We can now refer with some degree of exultation and pride to the exercises of commencement week. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 14th and 15th, were devoted to the examination. In another column will be found a copy of the programme. Before the interesting exercises are brought to a close, the audience begin to feel that Solomon, that ancient author, book-maker, and King, was right in saying, " of making many books, there is no end ; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." After listening to questions and answers, for six hours each day, for two days, and then to be told by the President that only a part of the classes were examined, we really began to think ihat teachers and pupils had been busy during the pi*t year. There is no question but the pupils of that institution have been thoroughly taught, and it is a source of regret to all that the health of the President does not allow him to remain at his post, which he has filled with so much credit to himself and usefulness to those under his care. He has been assisted by a corps of teachers, as might be inferred from the examination, who have labored with unwearied fidelity. By glancing at the programme, it will be seen that the curriculum embraces a wide range of study. As one of the spectators, we cannot refrain from expressing our thanks to the managers of the examination exercises, that, during the recess of each day, we should be invited into the dining-room to partake of a lunch that would have done credit to the managers or ladies connected with the New England " Kitchen," at the Sanitary Fair at Brooklyn. One feature of the Oahu College deserves a special notice, the young ladies have there learned not only the theory of bread-making, but have also been taught a practical application of the chemical principles. The young lad,, teo, know very well that there are other species of roots beside Greek " woo." Ths tsxhibition, at Fort Street Church, is the crowning exercise of the College. We call the attention of our readers to the programme of those exercises. These performances were highly satisfactory. Although some of the gentlemen were younger than those who have taken a part in former years, yet.remarkably well did they sustain the character of the institution. As an experiment, the Trustees adopted the rule that all spectators should be admitted by presenting a ticket costing one dollar, and children half passed away since John Brown was hung in price. The avails, it appears, have been Virginia for trying to free the slaves.

Abraham Lincoln and Andy Johnson Nominated for President and Vice-President at the Baltimore Convention. This is one of the most important items of news that has been flashed over the telegraphic wires. We received the news in twelve and a half days from Baltimore. In all human probability they will be elected. Their election will stamp the policy of the United States Government for the next four years. There is to be no change in that policy. The Union must, will and shall be preserved. What particularly interests us is the decided action of the Baltimore Convention in regard to the slavery question. The policy of the Government will hereafter be more and more decided to put down the system. One of the resolutions of that Convention thus reads, " Resolved, that as slavery was the cause and now constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of a republican government, justice and national safety demand its complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic." Another resolution sets forth that all soldiers, whether white or negro, must be protected alike. As soldiers they must be put upon an equality. This is right. These are correct principles and will eventually prevail. Truly the world moves fast in these days. The power of the United States Government is arrayed to put down slavery. This is the A.

I should like some of the readers of Macmillan to remember the name of the late Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, ns the name of one who gave up his life for what he believed lo be right—deliberately risked and cheerfully laid down a prosperous, happy, beloved and loving life. Forgive me, dear American friends, il I seem to trench a little too much on what is personal. Before I end mv narrative I think you will understand why I do it. My first acquaintance with the Shaw family was in Paris, in the year 1855. Mrs. Shaw and her young daughters were spending the winter there; Mr. Shaw had gone to America to superintend the building of a Inrge family house on Sfaten Island, the pleasant suburb of New York. There was only one son, Robert Gould Shaw, and he was absent, from Paris at this time—study* ing in Germany, I think. The family hat been for nearly five years in Europe, traveling in Italy and Egypt, and stopping where they liked, after the manner of wealthy Americans, and educating their children not after the usual manner of wealthy people. I remember the large, pleasant suite of rooms, looking in the Tuilenes gardens, occupied by Mrs. Shaw and her daughters; the pretty, thoughtful, original girls, clustering around their sweet, loving mother; the birds and pet animals which she taught them to care for and attend to. I recollect scrape of the conversation of those days how Mrs. Shaw spoke of her husband as the true and faithful descendant ol one of the Pilgrim Father* who had left everything for conscience's sake, how anxious she was that, while her daugh- �51 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1 B*4. ters were benefitted in every way by the real advantages which Paris offered in the way of intellectual education, they should not be tainted by the worldliness and the love of dress so often fostered by a residence there. She spoke of the pity it wns thct the American <(irls in general were so encouraged by the wealth of their parents, to spend great sums of money on themselves, so that this habit of expenditure always produced a selfindulgent character, nnd really often became an obstacle to marriages of true love; and then she went on to say how she and her husband feared the adoption of riches as a comparative standard of worth. But, again, she was fully alive to the real advantages that might be derived from wealth. One of her daughters drew well, and loved animals ; The she had lessons (rom Rosa Bonheur. he.use at Staten Island was to be a home not merely lor their children, but for their children's friends ; each child was to have a sitting room and bed room, and an extra bedroom opening into the silling room for n friend. These plans came lightly to the surfnce of conversation, and every now and then 1 bad glimpses unconsciously to my friend, of what she and her husband felt to be the deeper responsibilities of their position. WVII, this happy, prosperous family returned to AmeriCH the next y _r. From time to lime I gave English frientls going to New York introductions lo the Shaws ; and one and all spoke of the kind hospitality which was shown to them—the bright home. full treasures of European art. collected during their five years' travel; the upright, honomble father, the sweet mother, the eldest daughter, now married and living at home with her husband—(l thought how well the education had answered that had led to a marriage of true minds." to which no want of riches on the distinguished husband's part had proved an " impediment"—the pretty, elegant daughters, playing at croquet on the lawn, before the game was so common in England—the noble, handsome, only son, with both his parents character blended in his, and a sunny life of | rosperity before him. That was the last picture I had of the home on Staten Island before the war broke " out. 4 the young men of the " upper ten thousand" entered ; a dashing corps, splendidly horsed and arrayed. I remember well how I used to look lor nny mention of this 7th Lancers! By-andby, perhaps b-fore the war had deepened to grim, terrible earnest, Mrs. Shaw sent me word how, unable almost to benr the long separation from her only boy, she and his sisters had gone to camp (I forgot where) to see him. And then he was at home on leave ; and then he was engaged to a sweet, pretty young lady; and then—he had left the gay regiment of the 7th Lancers, and had gone to live with, and train and teach, the poor forlorn colored people, " niggers,"' who were going lo ficbt for the freedom of their brothers in the South. The repugnance of their Northerners to personal contact with black or colored people has beerr* repeatedly spoken of by all travelers in America. Probably Colonel Shaw had less of this feeling than a Northerner would have had who had been entirely brought up in America ; but still it must have required that deep root of willingness to do God's will out of which springs the truest moral courage, to have enabled him to march out of New York at the head of the Massachusetts 54th, all black or colored men, amidst the jeers find scoffings of the " roughs." and ihe contemptuous pity of many who should have known better. Yet this did Colonel Shaw, one day last spring, with a brave trustful heart, leaving mother, leaving new-made wife, to go forth and live amongst bis poor despised, the first regiment of niggers called into the field, nnd to share their hardships, and to teach ihem the deepest nnd most precious knowledge that he had himself. Two months afterwards he was with them before Fort Wagner, "sitting on the ground and talking to his men." says an eye witness, "very familiarly and kindly.'* He told them how the eyes of thousands would look on the night's work on which they were about to enter; and he said, " Now, boys, I wont you to be men !" He would walk along the line, and speak words of cheer to his men. We could see that he was a man who had counted the cost of the undertaking before him, for his words were spoken so ominously, (remember the Confederates had openly threatened to make an especial aim of every white officer leading colored troops,) his lips were compressed, and now and then there was visible a slight twitching of the corners of the mouth, like one bent on accomplishing or dying. One poor fellow, struck no doubt by the Colonel's determined bearing, exclaimed as he was passing him ; Colonel, I will stay " with you till 1 die;" and he kept his word; since. he has never been seen The 54th colored Massachsetts regiment held the right wing of the storming column that attacked Fort Wagner on the 18th of July last. It went into action 650 strong, and came out with a loss of a third of the men, and a still larger proportion of officers, but eight out of twenty-three coming out uninjured. The regiment was marched up in column by wings, the fir*t being under the command of Colonel Shaw. When 1000 yards from the fort, the enemy opened upon them with shot, shell and cannister. They I knew that my friends were deeply impressed with the sin of slavery ; they were thoughtful abolitionists, and had taken part in all political questions bearing upon the subject both before and alter their residence in Europe. I had letters on the subject of the war as likely to atrect slavery, within a month qr two after the affair at Fort Sumter. They were not the fanatical letters of new converts to an cpinion ; still less were they the letters of people taking up a great moral question as a party cry. They were the letters of men and women deeply impressed with the sense of a great national sin. in which they themselves were, to a certain degree implicated ; and, without too much casting stone at others, they spoke of slavery as a crime which must be done away with, and the doing away of which they were not erely willing, but desirous, to make their The sacrifice has vn personal sacrifices. en made, and is accepted of God. Presently I heaiuthat Robert Gould Shaw, passed through the storm and cheered and c only son, had entered the 7th New York shouted as they advanced. When within a sneers, the crack regiment into which all hundred yards of the fort, the musketry from ir it opened with such terrible effect that the first battalion hesitated—only for an inst int. Col. Shaw sprang forward, and, waving bis sword, cried " forward, my brave boys," and, with another cheer and shout, they rushed through the ditch, gained the pirupet on tbe right, and were soon hand to hand with tho enemy. Colonel Shaw was one of ihe first to scale the walls. He stood erect to urge forward his men, nnd, while shouting to them to press forward, he was shot dead and felt into the fort. His body was found with twenty of his men lying dead around him, two lying on his own body. In the morning they were all buried in the same pit. I must not forget to name one of Colonel Shaw's men—one of his niggers" (ns the Confederates called them,) when the Federals asked for his body the day nlier the fight. "Colonel Shaw!" they said, "we buried him below his niggers!" One of his niggers was a Sergeant William Carney, who caught the colors from a wounded colorbearer, and was the first man to plant tho stars and stripe* on Fort Wagner. As he saw the men falling back, himself wounded in the breast, he brought the colors off, creeping on his knees, pressing his wound with one hand, and with the other holding up the banner, the sign of his freedom. The moment he was seen crawling into the hospital with the flag still in his possession, his wounded companions, both black and white, rose from the straw on which they were lying and cheered him until, exhausted, they could cheer no longer. In response to this reception the brave standard-bearer said, "boys, I but did my duty; the dear old flag never touched the ground!" And now Robert Gould Shaw is dead ; the rich, prosperous young man, who might have lived at his house in the beautiful home on Staten Island, is dead. He, who might have fought gallantly in splendid uniform on a noble charger among his fellows in riches and station, is dead—fighting among the despised colored people, among whom the last months of his life were passed—buried beneath his niggers with contempt and insult. It makes my heart burn when I read the false statements sometimes put out by English papers to the effect that the higher class of Northerners shirk their part of sacrifice and suffering, nnd that, in fact, the Federal regiments are filled with mercenaries, German or Irish. I, one English individual, know of my own personal knowledge of three only sons of rich parents, living in happy homes, fullW gladness and hope, who have left all—l will say it—to follow Christ; and have laid down their lives, for no party object, for no mere political feeling; but to see if their lives might avail, if ever so little, to set the captive free. And the mother of one of these dead sons is giving, her friends fear, far too liberally to procure comforts, and even luxuries, for the Confederate prisoners - in Fort Lafayette.

J'LV 1, 1804. The Church Lives—Man Dies. In years past we have attended the annual meetings of the American missionaries. Before the recent changes in their ecclesiastical organization, we confess our mind was not a little oppressed when we looked around upon a company of venerable and grey haired men. The thought would force itself upon our consideration, what is to come when the " fathers have fallen asleep ?" We could not evade the conclusion that in a very few years those then active would pass away. The problem now seems partially solved. A new order of things has been initiated. Suppose the pioneers of this mission do pass away, and are, gathered to their fathers, the church will still live, the work will still be carried forward. Man may die, but the church will survive. Suppose a spectator visits the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, held at the Stone Church, and looks around upon the assembly, what will he behold ? There are some of the old missionaries with locks whiter than they were a few years ago, but they are not alone, their sons sit by their side, and a good representation of Hawaiians are participating actively m their deliberative body. The discussions are conducted in the Hawaiian language. There sits the Rev. Mr. Lyman, Chairman, and by his side two Secretaries, the Rev. H. H. Parker, (son of the Rev. Mr. Parker of Kaneohe,) and the Rev. Moses Kuaea, (colleague of the Rev. M. Emerson of Waialua.) Thus the management of ecclesiastical affairs seems to be gradually passing out of the hands of the old missionaries. This is as it should be. The radical changes «hich «er? initiated, during the visit of Dr. Anderson in 18o«, are now assuming a permanent and stable form. The machinery works with as little friction as could reasonably be expected—it works much better than some expected. It is a source of unfeigned ioy and thanksgiving to witness such goodly results, and we are confidently hoping to witness results still more glorious. God will take care of his church. The Ark of God will be safely kept. No TJzsah need fear and stretch forth his band to uphold the Ark The church lives although man dies. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, ' The Lord knoweth them that are His.' And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from Iniquity." and "1820—Welcome—1864!" On Monday evening, June 27th, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney invited all the members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and the Protestant Missionaries, to a social re-union at their residence in Nuuanu Valley. It was a mild and pleasant evening, and the gathering was large. As the guests entered the front door, the above inscription, wrought in evergreen, met the eye. It was an agreeable salutation ! There were present some one or more persons belonging to the Pioneer band, and almost every successive reinforcement. Among the guests present we noticed the Rev. Mr. Thurston and wife, and also at several others, whose whitened locks indicated that they are the representatives of " olden times,"—ofthe days of Liholiho, Kaahumanu, Kinau, Hoapili, Keopuolani, Kuakini and those old chiefs so conspicuous thirty and forty years ago. It was pleasant to meet on this occasion the younger members of the mission and the native brethren. " Coming events cast their shadows before them." It is pleasant to see the old and venerable, who are about retiring from the active scenes of life, meet in a friendly and social gathering, " the coming men," those just " buckling on the harness." Thus the old will gracefully make their exit from the stage, and the young as gracefully make their appearance. We are hopeful for the future. Truly we enjoy much, civilly, socially and religiously in this land, for which we should be devoutly thankful. The Fourth.—By an advertisement in another column, it will appear that the American citizens in Honolulu contemplate a becoming celebration of the 4th of July. We hope additional good and cheering news of Union victories may be received, to give a fresh impetus to the occasion. The nomination of Abraham Lincoln for re-election is as good as a glorious victory ! Says Milton: u Peace bas her victories No lessrenowo'd than war. n New Edition of the Hawaiian Bible.— A carefully revised edition of the Hawaiian Bible, is about to be published by the American Bible Society, in New York. The Rev. E. W. Clark will proceed by the earliest opportunity to New York, to read tho proof sheets and superintend its publication. It is to be printed on electrotyped plates, and will cost at least $10,000. It is not expected that the work will be completed under two years. Similar editions of the Bible, in the language of Tahiti and Samoa or Navigator Islands, have recently been published by the British and Foreign Bible Society of London. The civil war in America has called into existence three new organizations, which are absorbing the attention and benevolent contributions of the people of the loyal North. These three associations are the Sanitary Commission, Christian Commission and the Freedman's Association. The fields of usefulness opening before these Societies are great and inviting. Three agents for these respective Societies have been sent to California to solicit funds. A friend has sent us a neatly printed pamphlet setting forth the claims of the Christian Commission, from which we make the following extracts : Rebellion among the Natives of New Zealand.—However favorable the English people may look upon rebellion in America, in New Zealand it is a serious affair.

A party started for the field hospitals with a wagon-load of stores, and after working two days among the wounded, went forward to Brandy and established a new station. For the next fortnight the headquarters of the Commission were at Brandy Station. A very large quantity of reading matter was there distributed, and from the station the clerical delegates went out to distant camps to preach. Evident it was that the campaign was not yet ended, and arrangements were perfected, so that the Commission could go with the army whenever it should again advance. The four-horse wagons were carefully loaded, principally with condensed food, stimulants, and clothing; and a party was selected from the delegates to go forward. It was arranged that the remaining delegates should return to Alexandria by rail, and be ready to open communication with the army at the first point of supply, wherever it might be. Either Aquia Creek or Fredericksburg was, by many persons, supposed to be the destination of the army. *, The wounded numbering some five or six hundred, were taken from the field, and placed in ambulances, parked in a field about one mile from the Tavern. The weather was very cold, the night was intensely bitter, and the condition of the wounded was truly pitiable. Blankets were unusually scarce, and in the morning it was a sad sight to see the chilled and shivering sufferers. A large fireplace was soon built, and all were busy preparing hot milk punch, and hot coffee, or in taking it from wagon to wagon, until it was too late to do more. Milk punch was given freely, by the request and approval of the surgeons, and coffee, made nutritious with milk and sugar, was taken to all. * Tuesday, the order came to return. The wounded were placed again in ambulances, and we repacked our wagons and took the place assigned to us at the head of the train, thus avoiding delay when coming to a halt at night. * All day we were jolting over such roads as lot to the of wounded we believe seldom fell men before. We could not endure the sight of these poor, exhausted men, sore and faint from wounds, tossed and thrown from side to side of their ambulance beds, all that long, long day. The Rapid Ann was crossed in safety, and as the night came on, the ambulance was parked in a field near its banks. It was already late, and not a moment to be lost. A fire was kindled, water heated, buckets of milk punch prepared and taken to those most exhausted. Coffee and soda _i_C-uit—carefully husbanu?d for the occasion —were then distributed in all part* of the camp. Early in the morning the same work was repeated until the order to march was given, and we had barely time to take our seats in the train. * * * * * * * * New Hawaiian Dictionary.—We present our readers with a specimen page of the Rev.

In the severest engagements of the rebellion, after two or three days of sanguinary fighting, marked by the constant roaring of artillery and the incessant crash of musketry, by far the larger part of the contending forces have escaped unharmed. At the same time the weapons employed are of the most approved construction, the missiles of the most destructive patterns, and the positions of the combatants selected with a view to inflict the greatest amount of injury. Many causes undoubtedly conspire to increase the inadequacy of the results to the means. Some very curious facts were developed by the inspection of the guns captured on the field of Gettysburg. About 28,000 muskets were taken. Of these, 24,000 were found O-na-na, J. of the year. Name of the third month to be loaded, 12,000 containing two loads, and 6000 from three to ten loads each. In numerous instances half a dozen balls were driven in upon a single charge of powder. In some cases the former possessor had reversed the usual order, placing the ball at the bottom of the barrel and the powder on top. Not unfrequently several paper cartridges were packed above each other without being torn or broken. One Springfield musket contained twenty-three loads, all of which were regularly arranged. Other arrangements equally extraordinary were discovered. It will be seen that six-sevenths of all the captured muskets were disabled. It is fair to infer that many in the hands of the soldiers were in a similar condition and therefore were harmless. These facta, which must be true to a greater or less extent in | every battle, will account in a measure for the ineffectiveness of fire arms. �TIE rEIEND, JULY, 1864. 54 Letter by President Lincoln on Kenlucky ipto, tc. AfoVairse-HnwEmance [Fran tlra Fnuikßirt (hy ) ••COTn>onwsalth."| The circumstances which elicited from the unPresident the annexed letter are, as we derstand them, about as follows : The senior editor of the Commonwealth, Colonel Hodges, by invita'ion, accompanied" Governor Bramlette snd Hon. Archie Dixon, on their recent visit to Washington, and to the Executive Mansion, when they had interviews with the President and Secretary of War. At the close of the interview between President Lincoln and Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon, the President pleasantly remarked, as the other gentlemen were about retiring, that he was apprehensive that Kentucky felt unkindly toward him, in consequence of not properly understanding the difficulties by whi'h he was surrounded, in his efforts to put down the rebellion, and that he would explain to the gentlemen some ofthose difficulties, if they felt ini'lined to hear him. A willingness was at once manifested, and the President explained to ihem the difficulties to which he had alluded. On a subsequent occasion, in a conversation with Mr. Lincoln, Colonel Hodges remarked, that he was satisfied that the President was greatly misunderstood by many of the citizens of Kentucky, and that he would greatly oblige him if he would write out the remarks made to Governor Branilette and Senator Dixon, in order that, with the President's permission, they might be published in the Commonwealth ; tha* if published, ihe Colonel doubted not, they would remove much of the prejudice which was attempted to be created against the President in Kentucky. The President took the matter into consideration ; and shortly after his return home the Colonel received the following, which we would commend to the deliberate consideration of the people of Kentucky : Executive: Mansion, Wasiiinctom, April 4. A. G. Hodges, Esq. Frankfort, Kentucky —My Dear- Sir—You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said, the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was as follows: I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel. And yet, I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took, that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking (he oath. Nor was it my view, that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that, in ordinary civil administration, that this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary, abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to this day, I have done no official aot in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me the duty of pre- serving, by every indispensable means, that Government— that nation, of which that Constitution wis the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution ? By a general law, life raid limb must be protected ; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life ; but. a life is never widely given to save a limb. 1 feel that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the Nation. Right or wrong 1 assumed this ground, and now avow it. 1 could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if to preserve slavery or any minor matter, I shoull permit the wreck of Government, Country nnd Constitution, all together. When early in the war Gen. Fremont attempted military emancipation. I forbade it because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, Gen. Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later. Gen. Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March, and May, and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation, and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition, and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hands upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss ; but of this I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it, in our foreign relations; none in our home popular sentiment; none in our while military force —no loss by it, anyhow or anywhere. On the contrary, it shows a gain of a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, seamen and laborers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can be no caviling. We have the men, and we could not have had them without the measure. And now, let every Union man who rOsinplains of the measure test himself, by writing down in one line that he is for subduing the rebellion by force of arms, and in the next that he is for taking these men from the Union side, and placing them where they would be, but for the measure he condemns. If he cannot face his cause so stated, it is only because he cannot face the truth. I add a word, which was not in the verbal conversation. In telling this tale, I attempt no compliment to my own sagacity. 1 claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me. Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's condition is not what either party or any man devised or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God. A. Lihcolh. Yours, truly, The English Language.—The English language must appear fearfully and wonderfully made to a foreigner. One of them looking at a picture of a number of vessels, said, " See what a flock of ships." He was tola that a flock of ships was called a fleet, and thut a fleet of sheep was called a flock. And it was added, for his guidance in mastering the intricacies of our language, that a flock of girls is called a bevy, that a bevy of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host, and a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of patridges is called a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is t ailed a horde, and.a horde of rubbish is called a heap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is called a school, and a school of worshippers is called a congregation, and a congregation of engineers is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is culled a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd. Separation of Church and State.—Holland is the first country in Europe that has applied the principle of separating spiritual and temporal things. The fundamental law of the country, revised in IS4B, ordered the separation of church and state ; but the counsellors of the crown have delayed the execution of the reform, fearing that it would produce too much disturbance in the national customs. The new king,- however, has determined to carry out the order, and henceforth Holland will have no ministers of worship for Protestants or Roman-catholics. The different religious communions will have full liberty to govern themselves and control their own elections, &c. The Liquor Traffic in France Restrictprefect of the Department of the North in France has informed the sub-prefects and mayors that the Minister of the Interior, owing to the serious inconveniences caused by the progressive increase in thenumber ofretail liquor shops, directs that the number should be limited, and that in future the average shall be one retailer to a hundred inhabitants. He also directs them to inform the retail dealers that he is more than ever determined to use with severe justice his legal powers with respect to the proprietors of establishments who encourage gaming, licentiousness, or drunkenness, or who convert them into centres of disorder. ed.—The The Soul of John Brown Marching On. —The following picture, on an immense canvas, is painting in Paris by order of the Hayticn government for suspension in the Senate chamber at its capitol:—ln the middle stands John Brown draped in a modern cloak, on one side of him a negro of pure African race, on the other a mulatto, each of them clasping his either hand in one of theirs, and with the other holding just above his head a laurel wreath; while above the earthly group the Father of all looks down in triumph. Here is a suggestion of the way history is to be written by the world, instead of as Virginia thought to make it. �THE fRIEND, JULY, 1814.
