To think of that colored procession going through the streets of Nashville, greeted from the windows with hurrahs, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs! To think of the Vice President of the United States promising to be their Moses, to lead them out of bondage, telling them, Remember they who would be free, themselves must strike the blow!

To the same. Wayland, 1864. I am a happy woman since the election. The second election of President Lincoln. It makes me feel that our republican form of government rests on more secure foundations. There was no enthusiasm for honest old Abe. There is no beauty in him, that men should desire him; there is no insinuating, polished manner, to beguile the senses of the people; there is no dazzling military renown; no silver flow of rhetoric; in fact, no glittering prestige of any kind surrounds him; yet the people triumphantly elected him, in spite of all manner of machinations, and notwithstanding the long, long drag upon their patience and their resources which this war has produced. I call this the triumph of free schools; for it was the intelligence and reason of the people that reflected Abraham Lincoln. He has his faults, and I have sometimes been out of patience with him; but I will say of him that I have constantly gone on liking him better and better. His recent rep

It is a truly manly production; thus we are obliged to compliment the superior sex when we seek to praise our own. I have also been reading her Broken lights.

For myself, I think the church of the future is to be a church of deeds, not of doctrines of any kind. Men will combine together to work for each other, as children of the Universal Father; and these combinations will be to them as churches.
