We have received' from Bx)ber*^tforri(|, at Boyroat, Syria, .Th?>?oIy Laj$?? *? olive leaf, with the following, explanation: Lnnta COMPOSED TO AOCOMFAWT O LITE LEAVES PLUCKED FBOM THE GHOVES OF BXTBOUT, nj THE HOLT LAND, MABOH 6, iswj-Br BOB. Mona?. "And the dove pamo in to him in the evening: and,- lol in lier mouth was an olive leaf pluokt off; ao Noah knew that the watara were abated from off the earth." IQeneaia VIII, ll. Like wandering dove,' whose restless feet Gould And no Bolld landing-place, I pluok this Olive Leaf, to grace A memory ever pure and a wo ot. Thia waa the anoient type of peace; Tho wrathful flood waa overpast, The gladsome sun beamod forth at last, The Ark ita a torin-tossed ways did ceaso. Then from the Olive bough the bird Cropped this green loaf with myetio caro: And to tee Patriarch's hand she bare The misai YO, with its high accord. Deuteronomy Vin, 8. Psalm Lil, 8. 1 Kings, V. ll. Psalms OXXVin, 3. Psar friend, to yon thia Ol i ve-spray I send, the messongor of love; It Bpeaks a Sentiment above All other language to convey. The Olivo-glory of this land; Our Ancient Craft from this expressed The Oil of Joy, that shone and blessod, i In hours of rest, the laboring Baud. The deadliest liando, upraised in hate Before this gentle missive, drop; The dlroBt discord then must stop The Olive speaks-the floods abato. All this, and more, I fain would toach From this bright, ancient, verdant text; Take it with all tho words annexed Be yours the sermon that they preachl Religion ona Pol?tica. A rare Convention was held in Bos? ton, Saturday last. It was an assem? blage of those who, in slang phrase, are called "comeouters;" in other words, tho "Free Religious Associa? tion." Wendell Phillips, Olympia Brown, O. B. Frothingham, and such crazy bodies, wero present. There was, indeed,. a perfect freedom of opinion amongst them; for they wero hardly agreed in anything, except that every body had a right to their own.opinions on everything. A let? ter writer, describing this strange as? semblage, says that "their faces had the indefinable look of folks who ore deeply in earnest and thorougldy out of JciUer, with tho received order of things." Frothingham was made Preai ? dent. He declared that Christiani? ty was but "a soot;" and "sci? ence confounded Christianity." "For instance," he said, Christianity "taught that the world was made in six days." This, Be thonght, would answer for an age in which the earth was considered "a little piece of land, whereon two or three tribes - of men could raise their subsistence. " But "biology, geology, psyohology, and all the rest" of the dogies, taught that "hundreds of thousands 'of years elapsed before the earth evolved from nothing into beauty. " The orator pinned his faith to tho nebular theory. "Out of misty mat ? ter, and not ont of chaos," said he, "did the world come"-i. e., we sup? pose, out of FrothingJiamf The next speaker was James Free? man Clarke, who showed rather too much good sense for the company he was in. He denied that Christianity was a sect. He said some things so striking that we make an extract: "Christianity contains all tho ele? ments of good that all other known .Bystems have ever taught. Tho vir? tues inculcated by Brahmanism, the dignity and immortality of the soul, . taught by Buddhism, the duty of re? sisting evil by good, and of loving the neighbor, taught by Zoaroaster; all the excellence in the religions of Greece and of Rome, all, all are con? tained; all, all aro exceeded by the doctrines of Christianity. [Great applause.] Mr. Frothingham declares where thero aro walls there can be no freedom. I declare that without there are walls, there can be no freedom. [Sensation.] What use is ste um till you confine it? It must bo impris? oned; and then it is next to omnipo? tent. Unless I live within the walls of my house, I have no freedom of hospitality to offer my friends. I must fence in my orchard, before I can raise apples to give away. If all our apples grew on the common, no one would have any, for without pro? perty, there can be no general pro? perty. [Applause.] I assort freedom to be dependent on law, for where there is no law, thoro can be no li? berty." Wendell Phillips, the great light of the affair, closed the exhibition with one of his peculiar speeches. He elaborated Higginson's idea that the Church (meaning all the ohurcbos which believe in radicalism,) was fos? siliferous, and standing still, save when urged on by radicalism. He represented it as coming to share the triumphs of radicalism, and proclaim? ing, of the success of measures they at first opposed, "I told you so." The Church, viewed in the Phillips light, oouldbo only Satan; and "com? ing in at the death," as he described its appearance at a radical victory, would be bettor indicated by the words, "And last of all came Satan also." Phillips went on to speak of th? great advantages of agitation, and declared by it they would yet secare the ballot to tho negro everywhere He tims concluded: "I proposo to do it just as Chris tianity occupied the throno of tb< C?osars. [Loud cheers.] ? propose to do it by telling men jost what God tails mo. ! I will do it by doing what the temperan oe eoci?ties, which are os hide-bound as the churches, doro not do--exainv?e a Republican candi? date for the Presidency-th? moat pbpular mah in America, who cannot stand up before a glass cf liquor with? out falling ?down. [Great silenoe, succeeded by applause.] I will do it by opposing the Republican party when it bids me 'be silent about negi'o suffrage North, it will hurt our party. Be silent about General Grant's drink? ing, it wiH Jittrt his chances'.' I reply, God bids mo speak what you bid me forbear. I 'will Bpeak, and let the dead bury their dead, whether they bury him in the White House or not." Thank Godl the South has never given birth to any such mad associa? tions os this and hundreds of others that have been engendered in the Northern "womb, BO fruitful of mon? sters!-Richmond Dispatcli.
