I'llI DAY, MAY If So. The (Jirnt tiiir-tliin. The political (iiestions niising I rum the existence of slaxcry in our country nio more important than any otlieis xvhich can he named. It is idle to deny this. Tho whole nation feds it to bo so.

Tho subject is in eierv man's thotiehts. and lie reason is obiious No tonic which concern-the wholo eoiintry or uny considerable pint of it, lie ilifceussed. xvitliout its bein found that linn Kiimet.li! nrr tn lift 111 tb It.

Speak about our armies arid naiies and their officers, about secretaries and foreign ministers, about judges and commissioners, about territories and territorial goiernors, ami it is the same.

Name a presidential candidate or .1 congressman, and slaxcry speaks in nn instant, and shows a lively interest in the matter, (father a national ur a state con-icnlion, and slaiery always takes seat and claims a right to speak and to act. Not only has it come to lie ever present in this way, but its bearing has changed, and its power ha giown to an appalling degree, ''cxinty-fivo jcars ago, for Hie most part, it a submissii look, it spoke witii bated breath, it asked fur companion, it was I going tlie way oTall tho earth cry soon, it wished only to die ijiiiotly, xvithiu its prescribed bounds, it prayed only that its flickering candle of life might not be rudely blown out, but allowed to waste itsclT peaceably in its socket. A little a-hes and a light pufl'orsmokc would soon tell lie world that its spirit x-as gone from this land of liberty for oxer. Noxv it slioxxs defiance in it-i bilious countenance. Oaths, blasphemies and threats are poured out of its loath-uiue mouth incessantly.

Its hands, so suppliant one, are now filled with bonic knixes and six-shooters. Like other despotisms, it forbids any question of its poxxirs. It tramples on laws and compacts, it breaks down the bars which itself had sworn rdtould for-excr prevent itn progress, jt thicatins death those xiho shall speak and net for free dom The nation's treasure, officer ami armies are at its disposal. National officers of high rank plan for mobs to carry out its frrocious schemes against law and libel ty, and raise money to pay tho phntical scoundrels xrho are enayed to itrerpowcr nil who stand in its ivay. The talk of tgnonng saviri as a natioua' matter is ah-urd, too absuid for sxno persons to use.

Tho danger cannot bo turned aside by shutting the eyes against it fhe peril is a real one. Tho war lias begun. Huery and freedom are now face to face. I'reedoin must conquer now or feel its enemy's foot on its neck for a long time to coma. Excry man in the free states should rcali.o tins should stand with his loins girt, and say "1 am ready ready noxv, ready fur my wholo life ready xvith my vote ready with all the influence 1 can use ready with my money if it is needed, and ready with my lite blood ns my fathers were with theirs in I77C, if freedom cannot bo made secure without it Vermont has never held any rloitiino inconsistent xvith that.

She made her issue last year moro boldly than over, if possible, nnd she will not change it this. She will never forget it, or go contrary to it. The Leijislaturo of Massachusetts has a after a session of Hi days, tho longest ever held in that State xvith one ex-icption, and by far the most cxpemiie It was the first Know -Nothing Legislature ei er 'lectod, and tho peoplo of tho Hay State, if all accounts arc true, aro not far from unani-nous in tho hope that it xvill prove to bo tho Lt, so far as they ore concerned. It has been an eminently undignified and unscrupu-I ins body At ono time, whenthn House was in regular session, rowdy represontatiics wero engaged for half an hour, in Iho boy's play orknocking'off hats, shoxing one another into their seats or lifting each other bodily out, stopping all business by tlic noiso and confusion.

Thcso arc instances nn. many of tho same sort. Tb" Massachusetts Legislature did, liow-e or tiied to do, some good things, though the most important bills passed, us well as many others, nrc nuid to bo disfigured by crudities and faults which will seriously impair tlieir dlio.xcy.

Nay, hardly so much ns that, for these cotton lords aro ns jealous or llpdr nulls nnd warehouses ns with out letters to proprietors, it is almost useless lo apply for adinhxion lo tho Lugo establishments, So tho stranger must content himself witii looking on tho dingy cxtoriors, nnd listening to tho click nT machinery as lio pisses through mile nltnr mile of dark, narrow crooked streets. 1 hain't seen town in Kngl.ind so utiiniiting to xisitor ns Manchester except it bo llirmingham tho ono tlic manufacturing metropolis, tho other the great iron emporium of laigland, 1 might almost say or the world. lloth arc almost I entirely built ordingy brick and wrapped in I an all penetrating atmosphere or coal smoke neither will detain tho traveler long by any uttraetions or.irchltcctuio or antiquity. The country in the midst of xvhich Man- Chester is situated is hardly Knglish. It is as flat and uninteresting as the level portions of Iioxver Canada.

I bale repeatedly set my i faco toward tho country in different directions I in the hope of finding some of those pleasant by roads through fields and xvood, some of those pretty glimpses of scenery those "bits of Luglish" which I hnvo found in other parts. Ilutgo far ns I will, excrything is on tho samo dead level, nnd thoso tail black chimneys always stand tip in tho back ground. Manchester has long been the stronghold ol all sorts of heresies. Tho Manchester riots" in Castlcreagh's time, the furious demonstrations mado during tho discussion of Parliamentary Jleform, tho and thcCliartist tumults, wero nil gnnuino outbursts or its noble rage." Manchester politics are radical in tho ex-H. U'Ihmi a n-iMelord whiles to express in tie strongi terms bis widl-bu'd contempt for ain thing democratic, be contrives to associate it with tho Manchester party," and xvhen a cotton IotiI makes a speech in the Tree Trade Hall, you may bo sure of something close upon the scandalinn magnalum.

Manchester always sends liberals to Parliament. Her present members are men nfno niennT fame than John llright and Milncr (tibson, tho former notorious just now lor his tirades against tho war, lio latter the great champion of the "Society for tlic abolition nf taxes on knowledge," and both, in connexion with Mr. Cobden, famous for their exertions against the Corn-laws These three men form a "team" known in the political nu.l. Ins oooen, nrignt, whose backs the Timrx so loves to lash, that in parliamentary recesses, and whenexer thero is a dearth oT other matter, Cobden, Bright and lilbson are sure to ha whipped through a series of leaders. However I once heard Mr.

Cobden say tin he didn't believe there were three men in Kngland who hud thicker skins Mr. llright is capitnl stump orator. I have heard him bring down tho bray of Kxeter Hall" when a real Hie earl could not start grunt, lie is one of those fat, well-conditioned men, xvhoso xcry look speaks of bread-and-butter, cold tongue, and those nice things xvhich peoplo cannot think of without being good-humored. He has a plain, homely, business way of talking, but all he says comes out with a plumpness and an unction xvhich giics it a kind ol grace. Mr.

Cobden talks liko dear headed man master of his subjects, and though hv is no orator, ho talks so liko a man xxho loves his friend, that it is a pleasure to hoar him. Milncr (iibson is not a good speaker, but he handles facts well and can make x-ory stubborn argument. His speech for tho repeal of the advertisement tax during the last session of Parliament, as it is reported in Hansard's debates," is the most convincing in tlic volume. Socialism could formerly muster a considerably forco in Manchester. The socialists had a large hall where they useil to congregate in masses on Sundays for political discussions.

It is a gratifying fact that tho Hall has recently been converted into a reading room, in connexion with which is a lnrgo library free to all classes. Manchester has three colleges Owen's i colic; go. the Lancashire Indcpeudonts' col- I lege, both of xx hich are empowered to send students to the I'niicrsity or London for degrees, and Chetbam collego xvhicli provides I for tho education of a hundred poor children I from six to fourteen years of age. A largo Ireo library is also attached to Chctham college. 1 am told that there is no place tu Kngland where there are moro ample chart-j tics for tho education of the xvorking classes, for tho instruction of the deaf, dumb, and blind, and for tha medical treatment of tho poor The most imposing buildings in Man- Chester are its noblo Infirmary, xvhero from txvo to three thousand patients arc treated I yearly, nnd its Asylum in which 250 deaf, dumb, and blind children nre instructed and provided for i The churches of Manchester urn mostly built ol stone, ana many or them are very be.iutirul.

It would bo seen fiom thatjhat tho Congregxtlonnllsts were entiled tu a place here, but ns tlicy did not wish to be churlish they weio very glnd to see other denominations hero too, Dr. Humphrey gave us somo very Inlcrctlng de tails about the different state of things when he gan his ministry, when Vermont was missionary ground, He said they worshipped In church which had never bocn celled but which was, though they did not know it, a modern (Jolhic church, and tha swallows used to fly In and out during service, lie told some funny stories about 1 1 preachers Ac.

There had been a good deal said about Congregi-tlonxlism, nnd Congregational Ideas so tho Dr. began bis speech by tellingof a captain of a steamboat who found his forward deck completely filled with a inns of Swiss emigrants, who cuull not un. derstnnd hiin, nor ho them Rut seeing among them a personage, whoso air and manner Indicated distinction, nt least in his own opinion, the Captain hailed him with I say, friend, do you understand what thso peoplo say," Is it me tlint un-derstands thorn 1" was tbe answer Yes," said iu u.v Indivi dual, "that there's no body in tho wurruld that can understau 1 sich gibberish as that." However the Dr. said of course he did not mean that the story was at all applicable In th present cise. Then he went on to make a great deal of fun ol Mr.

Reecher's claim that Congregationaliit, had a right here, be-cause some two hundred years ago, thero was a church here that died. And then effhe went upon a foray into Xcw Kngland, to pay off some of the I jokes that had been cracked upon him. He said we New Knglsnders wero olttays glorifying New Knglnnd, but no one was ever caught there slept on Thanksgiving day. Then he took up the question of sectarianism, which he illustrated by a set i'f peoplo in Pennsylvania, called whoso dis tinguishing characteristic was that they all wore I long boards, but who split into two divisions, on the question of whether they should fasten their coats with buttons or hooks and ccs. 11c illustrated It agnln by pork and beans Pork nnd molasses, he said, ho balloted was mythical, but pork nu I bean- was a unitcrsal New Kngland dish, and for that i matter ho attributed tho lankne.s and leanness of the people to that.

Xo man could get fat on pork nnd beans. Rut pumpklii pio he could get along with, nnd when he went Into New Kngland, he could ineit tho people on the common ground of pumpkin pie, but if they insisted upon his eating poik and beans, ho should list- tu giie up their society. And then he wound up by a stirring aj jH-al against sectarianism and description of the future church. It is of no of course to attempt to gito you even a sketch of all that was said. Rut the coinpa- ny did not break up uutil half pat eleven, and I wheh next the Congregational Cnion collects again, I shall hoje tn le there to see and hear.

Si. Pacl, Minnesota, May 7, 1-JS. For somo timo past tho Tress" in this region has been greatly exercised over tho report of J. Ros a Special Agent, sent on here by the government to make investigations concerning the land salo which was held last season at Stillwater' XVhen Rrowne was here, he was well known to bo a government agent, but most Ifnot all supposed tho subject matter of his Investigations was not what it turned out to be. Tho enemies of cur worthy llov- ernor thought tbat ho was tho roguo whoso wicked ways, past their rinding out, tho sharp sightedness of tho Special Agent would speedily detect and bring tu light, and they were, consequently la high glee.
