sites KOSSUTH TO THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS i IN GREAT BRITAIN. ; '. ; Friends: You have sent me your "Christian Appeal," pleading peace at any price, not because you hold the present war unnecessary, impolitic, or directed toward a wrong issue; but because you hold all war to be unlawful under the Gospel dispensation. , .',.."-. ' I have considered your argument attentively. Bear with me for meeting you with conscientious sincerity on your own ground, by a 1 public answer to your public appeal. I-. . . The Gospel is your authority. It is to the Gospel that I appeal against your false doctrine. I call on ye to submit to the words of Him whom you invoke: , ' ' ' , " j "When ye shall hear of wars and commotions, .be not terrified; for these ihinga must first come to pass, but the end is not by-and-by. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." -. . , Thus says the Lord. Submit to his decrees. And, "think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." ;. , , ,' , ,., ,; .' '. Thus, says the Lord, whom ye call "the Prince of Peace." And his words are wisdom, justice, and truth Freedom on earth, salvation in eternity, is the aim to which mankind is called. We have a "Father" in Heaven. , That is a word of immense meaning and full of love. 1 A father cannot have doomed his children to thraldom, oppression and perdition. To believe the contrary is blasphemy. "But the end is not by-and-by." ' Like as we see in. Geology, that the work of creation is still going on, hour by hour incessantly, just so we see a. revelation of His will incessantly propounded in history. Know ye of one single people delivered from thraldom by some other means than the sword? There is none, and none ever has been. Therefore is it that the Lord has said "these things must first come to pass." ' It is therefore the Lord says, "I came not to send peace,' but a sword." '' Respect the word of the Lord; do not revolt against the revelation of the will of our Father in Heaven. ' . 1 ''.'.'.! To allow iniquity to bear the sway, when the sword could have arrested it to rivet the chains of oppression over nations by treaties, when the 1 sword could have severed, the chains is a work of iniquity, and not of peace. r 1 1 To plead for impunity to tyrants, for their en croaching upon the neighbor's house, or for oppressing, fleecing, and torturing nations, is so much as to plead immunity to the wolves, for devouring the sheep. ; Does is it not strike you that to call iniquity and oppression by the sweet name of peace is profanation and blasphemy? . .. i .-, - . . - "i You preach "Peace to tyrants, and good , will to oppressors;" does not your conscience tell you that by so doing you are preaching against the rights of man, and ill will to humanity? ' If the thief breaks into your house, and robs you of your silver, do you give him your gold to boot for the sake of peace; or do you call on the policeman to bring the thief to judgment, that he- may be punished, and your property restored? Which do you do? ','. ' ' '' ' And where is the tribunal to which oppressed nations may appeal, against the crowned robbers of their peace and happiness, if it be not the sword? ,, i "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is to be hewn down and cast in the fire,", says the Lord. Yet you plead peace to the bad tree, that mankind be forced to eat its poisonous fruit oppression. Is that charity? ! 't Foryourself, who (thanks to Cromwell's sword) have no oppression to suffer,' it Is very well to say: "Don't war; let us . have 'peace, that we may in tranquility devote our energies to the peaceful pursuits of commerce and industry, and thus continue to thrive."; 1 ' ' ", But Europe es oppressed. ." . Thrive,- and be blessed. I will not say unto you, "Lay" not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, because ye cannot serve God and .mammon." will not say unto you, because you are' conspicuous by meek social . virtue, and by private charity. , I would only ask you: Do you mean that your religion commands you to be charitable only to-1 ward the passing private sufferings of men,, and forbids you to be charitable towards the lasting public sufferings,, of nations? of humanity?,, If such be your religion, then bear with me for tell-; ing you, that either you are not Christians, or your Christianity is like the prayer of the Phar-' isees, "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." I am full of defects and fragilities; I know it. But I am deeply attached to the religion of my fathers.' , There was a period in my life when I had to make a choice between danger' to my life and to my Christian faith. I do not boast of the fact. I thank our Father in Heaven for having given me strength to be faithful to Christ. And I earnestly pray that all of you may be spared the trial. But I say unto you, Friends, if I were to learn that Christian religion forbids me to op-' pose wrong to devote my heart, my arm, my, blood, my life to the deliverance of nations from1 thraldom and oppression;' if it would forbid me' to fight for their freedom, when there is no other means to make them free, I would abjure the, dogmas of Christianity openly, for I would hold them to be a compound of hypocrisy '.'',' . . . ,,' ..'i .But, fortunately, that is not the case.''.' Chris-) tian religion is essentially the religion of charity.1 Wo to them who make a difference between pri-,' vate and public charity who restrict their love1 to their next neighbor, and remain indifferent to. the public sufferings of their . neighbors, the na-j tions. . .. .... - ' "iv ; You may, perhaps,' say that you love them,-1, they have - your best wishes and your fervent prayers for their deliverance; . only you 1 would neither fight yourselves, nor can approve of their fighting for it. 'You wish them rather to be op-i pressed, and content yourself with feeding for an hour from your abundance one hungry, and clothe one naked, and cotnfort '.one' broken hearted, while you entreat them tc submit quietly to op-' pression, which makes millibns hungry, and na-: ked, and broken-hearted, for generations to come.1 But I say unto you: if such.be your religion of prayers and of good wishesit is not the religion,' of Him who was sent "to heal the broken-heart-i ed, to preach deliverance to the captives) and to set at liberty them that are bruised. ":- It is not1 the religion of Him who left us the lesson, 'that "tliough understand all mysteries, and all know-f ledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove

mountains, and though 1 bestow all my goods to feed the poor, axd have not charitv, it profitETH ME NOTHING." . . i , . ' . You say it is written: "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth good will toward man !" 'ii But I say unto you, your version of the Gospel is apochryphal. The text runs thus: "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to goodwilling men?.: ( Gloria in excelsis Deo,, et pax in terra hominibus bona voluntatis.) t -: 1 1 ' - s -',:,,. Your doctrine of ."peace at any price,' and war at no price," is good will to ill-willing men,' and ill-will to good-willing men. Bear good will to all men, but when you, see the wolves devouring sheep after sheep then if you stand by with indifference, or entrench yourself behind your own comfortable security, or behind your good will toward alWbehind your good wishes and your prayers and you let, the wolves do, and you entreat others likewise to Jet them do; verily, I say unto you,' your . peace is iniquity, and your religion is not Christian. Y; I call on you to be charitable to the just against the unjust, to the oppressed against the oppressors, to the sheep against the wolves to humanity, in a word, and not to some crowned pirates and perjurious murderers. ' ::' ' 1 " 1 " I call on you to love youmeighbors, the nations. I call on you to love the moral dignity of men;

to love not the comforts and tranquil pursuits of the passing moment, but the lastinir welfare of your own and of foreign nations. . Patriotism' is the noblest source of civic virtue, philanthropy the noblest source of social virtue, and justice the noblest source of political virtue. ' Christian religion unites this all, because it is charity. But "you may bestov all your goods to feed the poor, and still have no charity," says the Lord. . ' Make despots yield to justice and right, without having them compelled by force of arm, and ye shall be blessed.' .' But, since you cannot do this, preach not impunible security to tyrants, by decrying necessary wars. .For ''These things must first come to pass? ' says; the , Lord. 'As long as there is oppression wars must be or else the tyrants, delivered from all fear of resistance, would soon reduce all mankind, by; the sword, permanently to the condition of a herd, of cattle and a flock of sheep--nay, to worse;; for it is better to be a dumb brute than to be a man and I not to be free.!, Oppression and tyranny removed from earth, then comes the end of "these things which must, first come to pass." Free nations may enter a covenant of arbitration; tyrants never will, never can. i , They rule by the, sword; they must be resisted by the sword, or else the word peace will be blotted out from the ; records of coming events, and "eternal oppression" sub'-' stituted for it." '' ; War is a terrible remedy; but a remedy it is. The fire burns some, but it warms all. The hurricane unroots trees, and dashes the ships to fragments, and buries men in the deep; but it cleanses the earth, and keeps off stagnation from the air and the sea. Would you put out the fire, arid do away with the hurricane? These things, must be. So it is with just and necessary wars. Help to make them advantageous to mankind, but do not shout "Peace!" while there is oDDressioh, or else you1 are guilty of shouting ".Ty ranny !"

The effects of speed run by! railway trains is an important matter with regard to the expenses of operation. . ! The ' traveling ! public demands high rates of speed and low fares, and if these demands are not complied with( a great, clamor is the result. ;" Now, the railway company cannot run its trains rapidly at low fares, without losingmoney,, and if the traveling' community' insist upon high rates of speed, they must expect to pay corresponding prices for travel. ' Some experiments have lately been made in Great Britain and on the Continent with regard to this matter of expense, and the results show that a reduction in the speed of passenger trains i makes a saving in expenses of pearly equal per centagel On the West Flanders Railway, the - managers state that they had found a reduction from thirty-two to eighteen miles an hour had produced a saving of some thirty per cent., in the expense of the trains. ..." The saving, therefore, is nearly as the reduction of speed. If . this has been carefully ascertained,, it is an important piece of information for our railway companies. Whether the amount of saving is truly stated or not,1 the fact of some very considerable saving by the reduction of speed is apparent enough to any one who, knows anything of railway' operation. Mr. Wm.; J. McAlpine, late State Engineer and Surveyor of, Ivew York,! in commenting upon the effects of speed; upon the New1 York and Erie Railway, states:. W i . ,',.-: , , "The repairs of the track and machinery, and the cost of fuel, which together form one half the expenses of running trains, are increased nearly as the square of the speed ; and, considering the : greater liability to damage and accident,,' under high, velocity, the whole cost of running, must be regarded as much greater than the direct proportion between the rates of speed. The ; charges for transport must therefore be materially raised, when the speed of , trains is increased.", Dr. Lardner, in his popular treatise upon "Rail: way Economy,"! takes the' ground that rapid ex press trains are a source of such vast expense, directly and indirectly, that they cannot be run at a profit by the application of any practical tariff. Rapid express trains in England, means, trains goint; at sixty miles per hour. ' There are but few instances in this country where trains are run over forty miles per hour, and the great mass of the passenger business is done at a much less speed.---We have no doubt that1 the competition between .different lines of which speed is an im-i portant element has led to a very considerable degree, to the great increase of 'running expense , noted in the reports of every, railway company! published during the past year.;. Competition is now not a favorite theory among our managers; and they having united to put a stop to it, they can at the same time unite to decrease the rate of speed upon, the regular service of the road s A decrease in operating expenses is a much safer way of bringing up the market Value of pur railway property, than putting up the fares: to anv considerable degree. ,We beliey that ari increases of charge M now necessary ' in many cases; but we beg of our ratlway managers not toi carry that favorite theory of unthinkitig men," to extremes.' ,i There is danger of it from a variety ol causes alluded to by us in previous articles. , Re-J duce the running expenses by reducing the speed of the regular trains, and by cutting off 'many of the leaks that have for tears depleted thetreasu-; ry. If high speed is desired by the public, let those who use it pay for it correspondingly,' An! increase in charge does not in the long run in-1 crease the receipts in the same! proportion i , but a decrease of speed, and consequently a decrease1 of expense, will benefit , the treasury permanent-! ly. We shall have , something more to say in; a' future number upon this matter. American Jiail way limes.

THE DISCONTENTED; OH T1IE BEACTV OF ClIHEKFlLJiESS. ,- ... " Is it not worse tliao vain to Hose our oje -r -, f T Upon the azure sty and golden light,' ---"'iBeeuuse tha tempest-cloud UoLh sometimes rise, ; And glorious day jutut tlurkeii into uiglit;"' ,,. It is a sad thing to be peevish, fretful and discontented. There arq times and seasons when it is almost impossible to rally a remarkable flow of spirits, even when there is apparently little or no cause for, despondency. , But these", withihe great majority of the human family,' are, or should be, few and far between. It is the worst description of cowardice,- and the most efronebus view of philosophy, to give way to the moody and the discontented. .'!'. And yet, there are ' some persons who are constantly making themselves unhappy in this way, and without sufficient reason. They see nothing but the dark side of life, and close their eyes and their hearts to the bright. They get up in. the morning out of humor, not only with themselves, but with all mankind; and wherever they appear, or in whatever circle they have power or influence, , they, chill discourage and repulsol' .They permit themselves to indulge in idle jealousies, foolish, fears and vague apprehensions', and even if prosperous for the present, they predict some sad calamity in the future; and thus prove themselves-morbidly infirm, and in fact insensible to the blessings of Providence. The effect is not only to distress themselves, but to annoy and disquiet others. They are in! the moral world, what a passing cloud is. in the physical. They cast a gloom on everything for 'the moment, and serve to drive away the sunny irifluences which are so admirably' calculated to brighten the pathway of -life. " These unhappy people are generally perverse and contradictory. They are never satisfied, never yielding, and are rarejy governed by reason and truth. No matter how direct a statement maybe made, orT)0)v palpable its accuracy, they doubt, grumble, deny or pervert; .and all, it may be hoped, from a dieased mind, or a mere habit, Iu some , cases allowances should be made, as in the event of sickness or serious misfortune. 'But, when the practice is indulged in mere wantoness; envy or

jealousy, it deserves to be rebuked with decision and severity.'" " ' .. ,'! ''. ;,'!. ' ."'.', i,., In what happy contrast is the cheerful spirit the .individual whose heart is full of kindness and generosity, who is ever ready to say a good word, or to do a, benevolent act, and whose daily life may be likened to a constant bem of sunshine! He may be disturbed and depressed for the moment, but it, will only be ,for;. the moment. , A shadow may pass over his brow,, and silence may seal his lips, but his natural buoyancy will soon acquire the' ascendant, - and his jo3'ous laugh' and cheerful smile will soon be heard and seen again. If he cannot say anything kindly or complimentary, he has the good sense and manly feeling't'o keep his peace. If he cannot praise ,he will pot blame.!, Scandal has.no charms for-him, and malignity is utterly, foreign to his disposition. He constantly tries to gladden and encourage, to cheer the desponding and unfortunate, to assist and relieve to the extent, of his ability, i He, moreover, is discriminating and appreciating. A favor once i rendered is never forgotten. ' A service conferred, is treasured up in the. depths of his- heart. His greatest pleasure,' and ; that which! affords him the' most "mental satisfaction. is to benefit his fellow creatures to soften the condition of the .sorrowing, to encourao-: tlm merits of the deserving, and to hold out hope apd Consolation to all..

',' Each, moreover, may do something in his particular sphere the high and the affluent much, the-bumble' and tfie needy 'a little." Exactly, moreover, as we possess the power and the ability, will be the conduct required of us.- And thus, if we be at the head of a household Or occupy a still more responsible post, as the master-spirit of an extensive establishment, we' to a considerable extent possess the means of mafcinoor marring the comfort and happiness of all who look up-to, "depend , upon, r feel 'the exercise of our influence., , Imagine a peevish, fretful and dissatisfied individual under these, circumstances! , His very appearance created a shudder, for he is certain ,to say something harsh, cold or uncivil, and thus to irritate feelings,' trample upr on sensibilities, or stimulate prejudices and pas sions. Ho is miserable himself, and, accorclinoto the old adage, misery loves . company: , He moves about like a troubled spirit, and instead of a smile, a ; cheering word and ,'an encouraging look, a frown, a rebuke or a grumble are certain to characterize his progress. How, much better, we repeat, the gentler, the milder,; the more generous policy!. .. How beautiful . are cheerfulness, benevolence and appreciation under these circumstances! , In the one case, the heart shrinks back, the feelings revolt, and the sympathies turn away; ' while in the other, -the cheek glows with pleasure the ifountains of emotion are filled to overflow ing, and a cordial welcome and an involuntary blessing, are sure to attend, like invisible angels, the coming and the presence of, the cheerful" the kind-hearted,! the appreciating and the good. .The Eastern Railroads.
