THAT PROTEST.

It is estimated that there are about 4500 clergymen in New England. Three thousand nameswere signed to the protest against the Nebraska bill. This protest was presented, not in their own name as cler^ymcn or citizens, but in the name of Almighty God. We presume that as they regard themselves as specially called to the ivork of the ministry, they think their acts as ministers are dictated, or at least, sanctioned by the Almighty—and in that light, they protest in His name. But we venture to say that in many instances in which they as a body, participate in the affairs of this world, they should take the responsibility of their own actions, and not throw it upon God for, us they are finite creatures and liable to commit a great many errors, the flocks over which they have the pastoral charge might form incorrect notions of the wisdom and goodness of the Divine Being. attributing the short-comings, and faults of their pastors, to the Great Source of all good. We think that unless they have the credentials to show that they are ministers plenipotentinry, they would do well to re frain from attaching the seal of the Almighty to their official acts, lest they might use it wrongly.

We speak of this subject candidly, and agree with a writer in the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, who thinks that it is not surprising that so many signatures were obtained to the protest. Its solemn character as a religious document, and the fact that cacli name at its head gave it influrr.ee and importance, opened the way for hundreds of the signatures of clergymen, who, perhaps, had never investigated the subject, and who really know nothing as to the merits of the bill which passed the Senate.

We must remember too that few, if any of these preachers read any newspaper but one of their own denomination, Beecher's paper, or the N. Y. Tribune, or one of similar stiipe. So that in truth they read the .argument on one side of the question and are ignorant of those on the other. They are thus liable to be mistaken. They receive as true the statements made by papers, the columns of which teem with misrepresentations of the measure and the men who advocate it, and while we are not disposed to deny to them proper credit for sincerity and intelligence, we do think they

We have spoken thus of this subject, because of the solemn form in which the protest was made. It attracts attention on account of the high authority from which they &&V it emanated.—Stute Sentinel.

I OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN. The "Arc:i\" which departs from New jYork to-day for Liverpool, will convey a

ministry to this demand.

our flag and the property of our citizens, and if the contingencies be not removed by which similar occurrences may be occaioned, we shall advocate the employing of all the power which the government can command in support of our rights and interests in Cuba. The world would consider us weak as we would in reality be mean, if we were to suffer even the first power of the earth to offer us insult—added to injury— as repeatedly as they have been perpetrated upon us by Spain during the last five years. The time has arrived when forbearance to even an imbecile nation—whose obstinacy or ignorance has brought it to the verge of ruin—ceased to be a virtue. We must not only receive redress for the past, but we must have abundant security for the future. Its relations with us will have to be bettered, or they will have to be discontinued.

It has, we are aware, been as formally as pompously announced in the British House of Lords that England and France are of perfect accord with respect to the affairs of this hemisphere. This was intended as a threat by that government, which has ever been en^a^ed in sowing the seeds of discord, in one way or another, in this Lnion, and in conspiring against its expansion whenever she could enlist in her service a formidable ally. Great Britain tried her hand at intimidation when she formed the entente cordiale with France, and put forward Guizot to announce the "balance-of-power" doctiine on the American continent at the time Texas asked for admittance into the Union. We disregard her machinations now just as we disregarded them in that instance. Louis Philippe was not France, nor is Louis Napoleon. The entente cordiale adverse to this republic eventuated in the dethronement of the one—it may upset the throne upon which the other reposes. Let the inmate of the Tuileries meditate well before he endangers his amicable relations with this country. Frenchmen have almost a paramount interest in our well-being. They sympathize with us just in the same proportion as they sympathize against Russia, 'lhat interest and that sympathy their ruler, whoever he may be, cannot, dare not arit^t He is acting in obedience to it in tin Li In the affairs ot the West, it will, in due time, make itself known.

In the case of the Black Warrior, England is, to a great degree, responsible for the wrongs committed by Spain. The authorized speech of Lord Clarendon, to which we have adverted, was at the bottom of the

stigated the deed precisely as the Indians were instigated under British dictation, to the ruthless butchery of our citizens on our frontiers in the war of 1812. ,.

We tell Queen Victoria's government frankly that, as Cuba is the key to the gulf, through which a large proportion of our commerce passes, we cannot, consent to its exercising the slightest control over that Island. The idea of her having any other interest in the matter than that of throwing obstacles in the way of our prosperity is too absurd to be entertained for a moment. She may envy our growth, but she shall not close our doors. She permitted Austria, contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna, to which she was a partv, to obliterate the free city of Cracow, because, as was alleged by that empire, it was a dangerous neighbor. She now encourages Spain to consummate acts of bad

neighborhood which are little better than positive piracy, and enlists Louis Napoleon to co-operate with her in supporting the offender! This is the downright old-fash-ioned British policy. The Intellifjenccr, of course, will sustain it with as much zeal as

At length, on Aug. 7, the affrighted inhabitants learned that the enraged Russians weretwihin an hours march of them. All who had vehicles at their disposal at once hurried away, but the largest portion were compelled to remain. The cholera was committing its ravages in the town, and nearly every family had dead members to bury or sick to tend.

The town was speedily surrounded by the Russian advanced guard, composed of Cossacks, whose first measure was to cut off all retreat for those who might still endeavor to escape. 'Hungarian dogs!' they cried to the unfortunate fugitives, as they drove them back with clubs. lire long, a Russian major presented himself at the Town Hall, and the municipality having secreted themselves, or taken to flight, named a magistrate and mayor among the town's people present, imposing upon the place a ransom of 27,000 rations of bread, 100 oxen, 100 quintals of lard, 200 bushel of vegetables, 100 cords of wood, 100 casks of wine, 25 casks of alchohol, 100 casks of brandy, 50,°000 rations of hay, 500 bushels of oats, and 20 quintals of tobacco.

This exorbitant ransom was laid upon the town, with an accompanying threat that if it were not paid by 8 o'clock the next morning, the place should be destroyed.— To satisfy such demands was impossible, for a few days previously the army of Gorgey, and the corps of General Sass, had consumed nearly all the provisions that could be found in the neighborhood. Yet every exertion was made, and then the deputation of burghers presented themselves at the head quarters of Gen. Grabbe, to reach which it was neccessary to pass through the Russian army. At first free passage was refused them they were insulted, beaten, and threatened with death but, after having been subjected to much ill treatment, succeeded in making their way to Gen. Naddc, who received them brutally, although, at the same time, promising to spare the innocent. But, by afternoon, the pillage began in some of the streets. The officers, to console the inhabitants, told thern that there should be no burning. But the soldiers were more frank in announcing the truth. At last, night came—and what a night! About 10 o'clock, a troop of Cossacks dashed into the town and drove the inhabitants towards the cemetry, were the Russians slain by the guerrillas had been interred. There, they were ordered to open the pit in which the dead soldiers had been deposited, and as they were about to do so, with mattock and spade, there rose a yell from their foes 'With your nails, dogs that ye are!' and they were forced to obey.

The general pillage commenced after midnight. The signal was given by a blast of trumpets. The regiments marched in, one after another. This thron£rin£r host,

But, in order to make Lheir work complete, on the next day, while the army was commencing its march, they were assembled, and five francs given to each one, with the following words: "Strict investigation has been made, and we have discovered that the town was fired, not by Russians, but by guerrillas disguised as peasants."

After this unblushing and infamous falsehood, the army moved off, and the wretched townspeople returned to gaze upon the smoky ruins of their dwellings, so lately the homes of peace and comfort ,.

ifcgr The New York Journal of Commerce in a very able article, reviewing the recent New Hampshire election, among other things, says: "Last year the Democrats swept everything, not only in New Hampshire, but in most other States. The Whig party was no-where. All its old issues had run out, without any new ones to take their place.— Some new hobby has ever since been wanted, but none came, until this unexpected windfall, the Nebraska Bill. At a most fitting moment it burst upon the view—just long enough before the election to allow it to be misrepresented and preached against' by Abolition clergymen but long enough for the "truth to get on its boots." This, of course, encouraged all sections of the opposition, and produced a coalition of Whigs, Free Soilers and Abolitionists, in the choice of Representatives, against the Democratic candidates. these circumstances, the results are more favorable to the Democracy than could

A large crowd thronged the streets at ail early hour, and at times, it was difficult trt, suppress disorder. About four hundred? persons were admitted within the jail yard.

All last night and this aftefrioon, thd prisoner was engaged in grayer and con* veisation with his spiritual adviser.

Atone o'clock the Sheriff informed tho prisoner that the time had arrived, and l(»

prepare for the execution. The executioner tlieh disguised, knocked off the irons* and pinioned the arms of the prisonef, who was then escorted to the place of execu.'iori.

Having arrived on the scaffold, Jewell stepped forward and thanked the Sheriff for the kindness he had experienced at his'

hands, and begged that he would not be thfl executioner. He then read his dvinjj declaration, reviewing the proceedings of thy Court which convicted him, and denying premeditated murder. He said he had never known the deceased before he went with his friend to redress that friend's grievance, and being heated and madened by drink, he was unconscious of what he did

He warned young men to avoid the intoxicating cup he expressed his cordial forgiveness of all as he hoped to be forgiven, and for mercy of his God. IJ

The clergyman in attendance then offered up a last prayer, in which the prisoner' audibly joined.

Jewell then continued to pray, during" which the Sheriff cave the signal, and th« lever was touched, and the prisoner swung in the air. Ilis neck broke in the fail, and he consequently died instantly. After being suspended half ah hour, the body was ut down and placed in a coffin.'"

Theodore Parker, the reverend ab

olitionist, under the guise of an anti-slavery lecture, thus speaks of the parties of our day. His remarks have considerable truth We had rather even worship the majority than the money. The,. Whigs luivo the worst of it decidedly. -v "The dollars is the decimal dot of the' whig party. I's motive is pecuniary its motto should be 'money got'—to say it in latin 'pe.cruria pecii.niat"'. It legislates against the poor for the rich that is for thy sake of men who are born with the desire' for nobility, or the conventional position to become rich. 'With it everything must yield to money that, to nothing the dollar has universai right of way. The greatest man who has stood in the whig party for some years let, out the secret. He said,-the great object of the government is the protection of property. The millionaire is the highest social product. He is that which has come U1 the measure of the stature of the perfect whig man. But that is the representation —the party that represents the money power. Then the majority holds it, I sar, in check. There must be a party to represent that. Accordingly, there is a party which represents the majority of the people. Now the majority of llie people do not differ,, much from the few men who are rich.—'•$),:A They differ in this point—the few have got rich, and the many have got a desire tj become rich. This, I take it Was the cause of the Democratic party organizing not about money, but about majority.— This party represents the acquisitive in-, stincts of the people—not the acquisition already made it is not money but the desire to get money. To state it in Latin peJ'

'To this party belong the young and poor, and the bold and vicious are its lead-' ers—men not of lofty character and great ideas—not very careful for justice, for love,--? or for religion. The party sneers at thorich, as the-Whig party sneers at the poor. The whig party cannot trust the people—1 the Democrat party does not trust anybody else. Jt appeals to the will of the majority right or wrong, it knows no higher law. The Whig knows no higher law than money—the Democrat ncue higher thah the will of the majority. Willi the lirst party there is no right and no wrong but 'expediency' and 'inexpediency.' With the oth-'-er there is no right or wrong, only 'pootflar' and 'unpopular.' The whig regards money made as the soul of the human race, not as a material basis for a higher and nobler development. .* The Whig party worships money. It i3 the Whig god. The Democrat worships the majority. It is the Democrat's god. To the Whig party no matter how the monev is got—in smuggling, in making or selling rum, or stealing slaves,—it is money— money got. To the Democratic party it is no matter what the majority votes—it is the majority."

Miss Su3an Nipper says that the Russians have an awful responsibility resting upon them for killing the Turks—"for every lurk who is killed leaves a dozen widows.
