S. H. Potter on South Sixth t, to transact the busiuesa, enjoy «tEe pleasant social converse, and partake of the bounty contingent on being a member of the Terre ilaute Horticultural society.

Owing to the absence of President Harvey D. Scott and his Secretary, Mr. A. B. Pegs was called to tho chair and J. B. Hauey selected to report the minutes.

Mrs. Modoaitt read a report on landscape gardening, and Mrs. J. O.

He said he was aware that he must appear to disadvantage with his checks §10,000. $20,1000, $30,COO staring him in the face, but he could not recollect what he had dowt with the moaey. This man is an arbiter on the icred honor of his country —her sovereign rights and duties.

How must he feel in voting on the articles impesching the Secretary of War? The language of denunciation is out of place here the mind is oppressed with sorrow, with sadness, with horror at the condition of this man. How many members were the recipients of his $10,000 bills, will never be known.

The next great scandal was the "salary grab." For iniquity, complicity of numbers, and coolness, of audacity it exceeds them all, None, I believe have ever been reelected and none ever should be who voted 'for the grab.

None wo are unearthing whisky frauds to the tune of about §20,000,000 of which tho government and people have been defrauded. Also posttraderships where the soldiers and poor Indiana,are being robbed to gratify greeds. cOfrmorants high in power.

law is liable to similar

objection. 'Che tax on whisky is over S00 per fceut. of its cost. Human nature is not always proof against- so powerful a temptation, as experionce hath shown. 'A certain ten per cent," says an Eb&lish political economist, "will answer the employment of capital anywhere. Twenty per cent, will produce eaperLess lifty per cent, positive audacilv one hundred per cent, will make it ready to trample on all human laws three hundred per cent., and there is not a crime which it will scruple, nor a risk it.will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged." We have seen this principle verified. Men otherwise respectable have been crushed, perhaps never to rise again.

But the question is, How are we to remedy the demoralizing tendencies of our caucus system? It can only be done by tlie people putting t&elr beads tokfefcher and saying they havo had

D1FJFKBBNT RELIGIOSS.

You will see one dehomiuaiion so, much prejudiced against another that thev are not willing to recogntzo them as a religious creed, and when one thinks ot the many difterent denominations, and all aiming fo the one and same purpose they might be compared to the many different railroads all centering at one point. You iy get on the train from the north,

west and if you wish to go to Philadelphia thsy will all take you there \nd cannot one be a true christian and not belong to any one deaomina-

*"*To b** a tifue christian one must "love thyn^hbor as thyself", and -doas we would be done by." It .seems to me there is no better doctrine to follow than those two quotations. That is the secret of all truei religion.

I canuot help but quoiQ a few lines from tho Re/. Charles

Deems.

Those are irreligous

m^n in every church, and there are very religious men iuno church." Now should we bo too much prejudiced ac-iust any one thattiloes not happen to think and believe as we do. Is it not Th'aDPY thought to know that God is ioiudge us all. If man was to judge man am afraid but few would have a favorable judgDaenp-

other nations and that no other nation is quite so smart, or so far advanced in cultivation. But when one comes to travel in,foreign countries it is then they loose their prejudice, and see that iu foreign countries they aro fnrther advanced in art, music and science,rfnd the common class are far in advance in regard to education. Why the young boy of 16 years of ags in Germany is the master of three or four different languages. We connot say that here, with the exception of a few, for as the rule,they are not all of them masters of their mother' tongue.

JDiscussiou oh Mrs. Hulman's essay w-as postponod until after"gormandizing as the delightful aroma from the dining room was already causing a slight restlessness among thos knew of the excellence of tne least which the dinner-bell that tocsin.of the soul announces on such ocea&ian3, at Captain Pottdr's

When all had ro-assombled in the parlors Rev. Stimpson opened discussion of the essay. He wished to inquire whether any organization is necessary to carry forward the Christian religion in the world to diffuse it and spread abroad Mrs. Hulman's e=.say, he thought spoke lightly of these organizations, the churches.

Mrs Huluian replied that she thought this rested with the hearts of the people. Some persons may be christians and still not be members of any church.

Mr. Stimpson objected to the comparison drawn in the essay, that as water i3 before the.nqueduct, so relilgian is before the church. He wis.oed to ask if an acqueduct is not necessary to convey tho water, aud to inquire where, iu respect to religion, can such an acqueduct be found?

Mrs'. Hulman suggested theBaptists.

(Rev.

The tiaue has come when an effort should be made to remedy some of these evils. We must have a plainer Government, a little less of extrava-

Stimpson is an immersion Baptist,') *1 his retort caused a good deal of laughter, and slightly disconcerted Mr. Stimpson, but he was still able to continue.

Hflwltfougbt the idea of in that., iniinfrfruuderestimate the value of churches as orgauized institutions for the dissemination of truth and the accomplishment of good, was pernicious in its influence.

He was followed by

CAPT. POTTER.

Ho thought there were some objectionable points iu the essay. Ho desired to givs Mrs. Hulman crcdit for anj earnest attempt to show up in true col* ors the evil effects of prejudices. He held that PREJUDICE IN THE ADVOCACY OF

TRUTH

was righii llev. E. F. Howe at ths conclusion of Mr. Potter's speech, caused some little sensation.

He said: ''I hold in my hand a little volume which can with profit be introduced into this .discussion. It was prepared by on9 Noah Webster. Under the head of prejudice, he has: Prejudgment an opinion or decision of mind, formed without due examination of the facts or arguments which are uecenaarx.to a just or impartial determiwinlibd l- as it whether any'truth was salli'-iently grand to rightfully ^fflrfcr&hal-txwJta -as that

Considering the array at ministerial talent present, which, had recently returned from Europe, Mr. Potter suggested that the question bo left to them. -Both Revs. Stimpson and flowe had made tours of Europe and observed the modes of horticulture there, aud although REV.

There was a deep pause for a few moments and two or three persons seemed lost in an earnest contemplation of tne ceiliue. Mr» Howe broke the oilsnce by continuing iu answer to the idea advanced respecting the retrograde of the world. He did not believe it. He believed that we are^all making a decided progress.

Fifty years agt a certain district in Ohio had 30 DISTILLERIES AND X0 CHURCHES.

Now there are 30 churches and no distilleries, arid j'et he had np doubt the good people of that section are thoughtlessly bemoaning the degeneracy of the times.

Rev. AbU'ey was called on. Ho was prejudiced against speaking at that time. Hs lavored Mr. Potter's idea that it is as necessary to have some recognizsd organization, to carry forward religion as'ol science or medicine. The regular subject for discussion "WHAT SHOnLD BE DONE TO IMPROVE

much, he might be able to say some-

tbSomebody

suggested that Rev. Abbey

might say about^trees. Rev. Stimpson arose to speak of Horticulture in Germany, but became unaccountably mixed up with beer gardens. The subject then took a varied

He regretted that no papers had.beeu prepared upon the subject, A little action on the part ol societies like this, to which the people generally look, may secure Gilbert park,while inaction may lose it, He moved that tne subject uuder discussion be postponed until the next meeting. His resolution was adopted.
