~ -4- ‘For the Gazette.
, Courage vs. Reform.
-It was the remark of a nobleman over the
grave. of. John Knox—“Tliere lies one who
‘ ncvei".feai'ed’4lthé, face of inar_i'.’.' The good
Scotch apostle ‘has‘too few imitators at the
present day. The face of ‘man has become it
great bug-bear in the eyes of our ph‘i'l'o’sopli’ei's.
They can advance astounding ideas frorn their
closets, and write newspaper articles that set
the people all in cominotion——but if you meet
onelof these lions out. of his selected lair, he is
very likely to hang his head and appear as
g though ashamed ofsometliino.
Stump» orators standing before a sea of faces
, will utter sentiments so bold and striking that
the auditors are filled with awe—but meet the
speaker, face‘ to face. and his armor will too
often prove to be straw. A r‘eforiner takes the
stump and puts forth‘ such fearless and over-
whelming facts tliat.tlie people look backin
, nuia;enient iit all their past eriors and missteps
——bnt take the speaker aside and question him
alone, ho_w his bristling-hair smooths down, and
his bold front shriiiks aways
The professor of religion is all earnestness
and zeal in the house of worship or the prayer
meeting, but outside of the walls his courage
forsalaes him, and he is almost ready, Peter-
like. to deny. his master. There seems to be
two atinosplieres—tlie church atmosphere, and
In the first, the christian’s
heart-, like the mercury in a warm room, rises
into rapturous degrees—-but the least contact
with the latter, carries it down to a level with

','o.

all "around.
There must be an end to tliis’lack of moral
<:ourdge—to this man-fei_iring spirit. It looks
much like -preaching one thing and practicing
another. It is of little use to write about re-
forming this evil and abolishing that, if, while
your ideas are circulated ._in the public print.
‘thegreaders of them know your daily habits to
‘be in direct violation ofyonr words. It is little
use to get up before an audience and ‘urge’ vir-
‘ tuous measures, if half before you know that
_you fiever suggest a -word in favor to individuals
privately. A mass of human beings seems to
-im'part a certain assurance and c,are-for-no-oiie»
at‘iveness that the first encounter with a single
face utterly niiiiihilates.
If this wincing cowardice continues, where

is ourliope of “that better time.‘’-‘ Ask the

r“. next rum.-selleryou meet why he does not. re-

nounce his doatructivo pursuit, and in nine
cases out of ten he will reply. “ Humpli. do
you think I fear your temperance reformers."
His boast is that he will continue his traffic in
spite of the pratings of reformers—nnd often
this idea of braving ‘law and man is what
induces him to persevere in the trade. Inqiiire
of the inipenitent man why he does not become
a christian. mid his answer is, “ \Vliy. Mr. A.
is a professor of religion, and he aint any better
than I am. as I ciin see. He never says a
word to me about his love for God, and if I did
not hear him pray sometimes in the church, I
should not think him a christian at all."

It is the contact of mind with mind, and of
heart with heart, that is to effect: the world's
reformation. A public speaker has all the
words liimself——liis skeptical hearers are not
allowed to bring up tlieirolijections to his argu-
ments; or if they do meet him privately and
open the subject, he has not often the courage

P.

to defend his positions.

T The Republican of last, week complains
bitterly ofthe course which the friends of pro-
tection in Congress have adopted for the pur-
pose ofobtaining an alteration in the existing
Tariff. As the N. Y. Evening Post has already
done the same, and been pretty effectually an-
swered by the Tribune, we commend to our
neighbor the following extract from the latter
journal :

By the way. it is too bad-—yes it is mean-
for the Evening Post to set up it cry aainst the
disorderly ‘and irregular manner in which the
Tariffquestioii is brought before the House.
The organization of either branch of Congress
is completely in the ha iids of our adve.i'sai'ies.
witha Southern Locofoco presiding and simp-
ing all the Cominitees so as not to give the
friends ofProtection the gost of a chance. Our
freinds are not permited to report ii bill in eitli-
er House; the Locofoco majorities won’! re-
port at all on the subject ofthe Tariff, so as to
give our folks a chance to make minority re-
ports ; the only chance left us is to move
ameiidinents to such bills as are reported; and
when wotry this we are ruled out of order and
the’ Post complains that we take the only
course open to us to obtain action on the sub-
ject! If that isn't mean then our judgment
misleiids us.

S. Consul irtf Valpaririso.has addressed ‘a letter
to the Baltimore Pat.riot, calling the’ attention
of American capitalists to the expendicy of the
immediate establishment ofa line of steamers
on the Pacific‘ coasf, with San Francisco and
Valpariso for the termini of the route——to_uch-
ing at the intermediate ports of Callao. (in Pe-
i"u,)' Guifyaquil, (in Equador.) and Panama, (in
New Gi-enada,) to connect with another line
to ply between San Francisco, Canton and Ja-
pan. by way of the Sandwich Islands. He is
‘* clearly ofthe opinion that, had our people it
just conception ofthe impetus and fast grow-
ing importance given to the trade ofthe Pacific
since the discovery of gold in California, we
should have a line ofAinerican steamers along
this coast, and across the ocean, in less than
twelve montlis."-Aii English steam navigation
eoinpany has had the monoply of the)‘ coast for
the last ten years, but their charter having re-
cently‘\”expii'ed, the governin ents that granted
it, Mr. ‘Potter i-emarks,‘“are now unwilling to
renew it cherishing_the hope that our country-
men will give it a’ fierce opp isitiou. by opening
the coast to free trade and a fair competition.”
This line of English mail steamers, running
from Valparaso to Panamii,' is in the receipt
from the government of Great Britain, of
$100,000 annually.
