'There is trie patriotism of tiru th, a subject Urbich seems rasepajjable from jrny cofisrdefation .jf its iulrirjAj'ciqiiaiities. ;;. Moralists are notuck' determined'whe^b occur in tW^icTt.falsehood may not only be permitted, but would 'beij?sefie?b?e.-"- ^Pevhap?, if our sur? vey JU the moral world were bounced only _by. the present hour and the pressing nocessityythc proposition might bo answered* in."the affirma? tive. But moral tit irrgs, on Ii ka .Jr?? others," en 'daredbr all ages--extend through all nations -a {feet-the destiuies pf ail limes, and. form the most imposing interests of eternity. We can not, therefore, reasou on such a subject with a ainTple'reference to -tho present" case and'tim tia?sing. moment. The truth concerns our civil - dren as well as "ourselves.-r.The-truth belongs to our people-ashwell as to out-family, lt is essential- to man throughout;-it is the groat essential of the"h?inau race, and on itt immor? tality depend? their .own-:their greatness, hap? piness and'glory.- A falsehood is likely to do barm ul?ra?t?ly, ia some way or other, and with'greafer or less d"egrcc of hurt. It ia an experiment in- poisoning, and it is doubtful whether our fingers, having once dealt in it, will ever become^free from the taiut. False? hood, by itself, might beof little dungeif but it ?? never by itself, lt runs and reproduces itself the moment it is born. But its attitude ot greatest evil is * as the direct antagonist of truth, lt is au active principio, as subtle as ?-.ghr, which is its opposite.' A fanciful allegory of one of the orientals very happily describes cuery new truth n3 immediately marshalling itself among the children of light, ni the ranks of God; while every falsehood, in like manner, i;id by- a like instinct, ranges itself instrmtly t nder the sable standard of Lucifer. They be? come, each in its place, spirits of power; and traverse thc world, in behalf of their respect ive Commanders, engaging, in frequent conflict viren they meet; and making an eternal balli e .iisld of that province of civil discord, the.pooi?, .benighted, scourged and ravaged heart of mab! 'Xhe ddca seems to us^riuile aa felicitous as lan ci.f?l. -The q?e-tion is asked, "Muy wo not, iu ?i6*fti?t hope of struggling buinauity, resort Lo fidaelrcocT, when this is obvioasly the only mode lo? o?'-'cee?n'o from unjust torture, punishment ?..id death'?*' Tiie " example oF the apostles 'right be relied ?n hei'c. They have answered 'jibe question.' Christ, in anticipation, rebuked l'.ie feebleness of Peter,'\vho, shrinking fron: h'irnan petraitief?,' denied equally the' truth and b's"Master. But the case supposed is one in wl'.ivii^jskoug'h j'ou yourself escape, the false liood may do barbi* and tho truth, though you perish, must, ultim h tod y be productive of good. Your martyrdom, alone, would most probably rt.v?! throw7the tyranny; by arousing the people, -A.'. .?!i nb less matter could inspirit into active .v. a-.d to a just sense of the general danger ? ^'.ch wusil.e martyrdom of the Saviour aud f>a"m'.s; and, for a like object, the safety circulation of- ilia tuttli, for the prcserva af'ttie many.

Brit there are raen, fortunately fur. mankind, to whom .tfretrath.it8el f bringa co?3olntion.e*j?iigh, and whom gloriouamctnories in 'after'-tithes; ;nnd a perpetually musing gratitude, keep holy through long ages, and thus reward.for -JLheir sufferings auder the scourge and upon" {he rack.. The pang bf death is. only an instant in dura? tion, but the life which follows ia consequence iseterna), and a* glorious us eternal. What would have been, what Would be, the case, if there were not, aud had not been,such men? Where would be our gloi**\ our strength, our security, happiness and intejleotu-al free? dom, but for those daring and eud?ring.maityis. who,~:s7ith a spirit setting at defiance every weakness of the fresh, have gone fearlessly into the gloomy dens of ancient error, denouncing the. superstition, orerthrowing the idol, and setting up tiie true God, which is trull.? All innovation upon established customs is invaria? bly and sturdily resisted, and men nra known to fight for their prejudices who would nevei fight for their couut-jy. The teacher of th? hitherto unknown truth, in all past times, ha: been stoned to death by the serviles of ancient error. Ia this way perished the long array o the "just niado perfect," the saint, tho sage, th? philosophor and the patriot-of all who han ever shown an honest determination to seel out and elevate the truth, in the teeth of un holy prejudice and unwise passion! Our c~S;i dition would be lamentable,, indeed, if thor wers not some few consecrated spirits in ever nation, and through all periods, who, seornin; thc policy of the worldling, (which, for the UB certain safety of'tho moment, would bai ter th? glorious guarantee of permanent assurance, oan appreciate and assert the true nature am just rights of his race, Without reference to-'th penalty or the reword! There will be trutl loving men to the last, whatever tho bondage however ruthless the pursuing enemy, wh< lookiug beyond . their i'i?a Jay aipl " look up with move confidence. But there are l"e?ars that they will bring tho enrolling o?lctr ?along with tieui, and marshal, under conserv? ing recruiting officers, the thousand able bodied lads whom we can muster here, for a erueade against tho French in Mexico. Meanwhile, what does the ration house give forth to-day for dinner is essential even to patriotism, and though swallowed by the Yankees to-morrow, wc still like to swallow our cutlets to-day.
