The great prirciplea which were involved In the late alt uggle in which General I.xx comnmnd-d, reeled upon the *trong platform of the Declaration of Independence, and no human effort can evir render them ii.famous or the men who upheld them, any more then the efforts of heathen*. and religion* tyrant* nnd persecutor*, of every name, could render infantona, the namea of 1boac who belong to the noble nrray of Christian Martyr# In every age since the day of Christ's Crucifixion. The character and fame of General is a type, a sp-cimen of that which belongs to the Confederate officer*, and soldiers and patriots generally. Of eonrse, he is the most distinguished, perhaps, of any . hut his fame rests on the nam* qualities and conditions in which they shared. His exalt ed repntation, therefore, r? fl -eta honor also on others. Whilst Lax and Jackson live in tame, and their memories shall be held in honor, as they must lie, none of the more humble Confederates of like honest piivate character, need ever lie ndiam'd. The very tame qnnliti- a that made J.\ck*on. ai.d Lie, and others illnttroiu", w ill now ii flu* ence every fi iend of the ex'iuet Cottf?*de*aey to eliog to the Constilution of Ihe Uui'ed States, and to maintain a Union founded upon that Constitution Such is the pur. |<ose, we sincerely believe, of the great Democratic I'nriy. North and South?of those of the party who fought under Mc Clkllan and Grant, and of thoee who fought under Jackson, and Lr.it, and Ji.iinSToN. We were led t>? these remark* by seeing an article from the Arte York 11-mid. commenting on the fi?ne*s of Gen. I.rn 'o le ceive th* nomination of 1 lie Democratic Party for tlie Presidency, which of courseno one r<a1ly expects. We give Ihe following extraet from the HerahTt article.? It will illustrate what wa hare said as to the actual reputation of Gen. Lr.it and others, among people in the North, and everywhrre, in fact, amongst civilized men. Put, if the Democratic Convention must nominate a soldier?if it must have a name lcicnunea wuu inc clones or the war?we will recommend a candidate for its favors. Let it nominate General Robert E. Leo. Let i? boldly take at once the beet of all its aoldiera, making no palaver or apology, lie la a bet- 1 ter soldier than any of those they hare thonght upon, and a greater man. He is one in whom the military genius of thia nation fliwla ita fulleat development. Here, tbe inequality will l-e in favor of tbe Dtmocrats; for Ibis soldier, with a handful of men, whom ho had moulded into an army, baffled our greater Northern armies for four years; and, when epposed by Grant, was only worn Uown-Vy that stolid strategy of stupidity that accomplishes its objects by mere wei^M. With one quarter the m?D Grant bad, Ibis soldier /ought him magnificently serosa the territory of hi? native' Htate, and fought bis army down to a stump. There never was such an army, or sueh a campaign, or each a General far llluatrating tbe military geniua and poatibllitlea of our people ; and thia General la the beat of all for a Democratic candidate. It ia certain thai, with half aa many men aa Grant had, he would hare beaton him from the flald iu Virginia, and he affords tbe heat promise of any soldier for beating him again. . ?

Lbs presides, *b4 hy thocititcns ol the ' place. The speech, gbich jp a (pug one, Is 4 honorable to Gen. Disrrot as a scholar, pa- j (riot and Christian fur it is pervaded throughout with tha Christian spirit Inculcating the performance of duty, as the corner atone of true usefulness and of all commendable success in life. We hare seldom seen an address dslivcrrd on any public occasion, by any one, not a pro- 1 fheacd minister of religion, so thoroughly per- I vadud with moral and religions sentiments, sn forced by eloqnout and appropriate words and arguments. This is sn advance In the i right direction. If aenllemon w?m to ?ftr ? I the authority of the Christian religion, when seeking to enforce precepts fo? the government of the condnct of young mm, and pIlM be* fore them the sanctions of the greet end eter? nel truths of the Bible, their efforts would accomplish much mure for the good of the Country, end of the rising generation. Gee. IIamrron says, in one pert of his speeeh, " it la not for mo however, to venture to toll you of your duty to Heaven. I have spoken ef your obligations as eitisonr, but I loavo it to your Rererod aad h??iy teachers to point out to you. man's primal duty, that to his God ; from their lips, and their lives, yon must learn tho divine truths of Christianity, wbioh teach you your duty to your Maker. Mine is but the humbler task, to urge upon you those daily diitica to bian, and to your State, which will meet you on all sidoa, in your journoy through life," de. But the Gen oral docs appoal to use his own words, when urging every one to hear tho cross of Hfc to ? the reward and punishment of "the last great <tay of Sua! rcconing, when all will be weighed in the great scales held by the impartial hand of a just aA<l Almighty Uod." lie alludes also to the examples of Moses and others in sacred history, and also to tho example of some of the noble martyrs who have dkU for the truth sake. We should have been more perfectly satisfied with the moral and religious arguments used by Oen. llAMrro.v,if bo bad advised the young men to go more dirtrlly, to the f >untnin of nil truth revealed to man, tho Bible itself. It is not sufficient to look to* Revered and holy teachers, to point out * man's primal" duty, that to his God, as Gen. II., suggests, or to direct men to learn the Dirine truths of Christianity froru tho lips and lives of such teachers as are hnman and fallible, many of whom ???>?, i-viUN)^, rimer murniua IDO OOCirinCS which they loach. or Imbibe them ready mad* ii from those who Ihua received them, or who 1 may have adopted thorn from tho force of pre- t judieea. with which they way liavc been tor t rouuded. Young men and old men, college | student*, and every other class of seekers after c truth, should he directed to the pure fountain, the holy 8cripturcs, which contain tho word ^ of the Lord. Religious teachers arc only to be heeded according aa they conform tbeir teachings by this standard, and it haa been only a departure from this standard, by such ' multitudes of the Christian world, so called, e that has so long, and so awfully involved the * natious and communities in wars, and persccu- * tiens, and all the desolations to which these ( lead. Revered and holy teachers, so-called, * have scattered from tlietr " Hj>t" fire brands, '' arrows, and dcntb.in the name ol Christianity, | * They have preached creeds and bibles of tbeir '' liwn making, as the Methodist North preached '' the anti slavery disciplino and creed of Wr.8i,er from generation to generation till the late ? war and rufn ensued. I.rl a young man eros* ^ over the Virginia lino into 1'cnsylvania, and receive precepts, as tu his duty lo God frntn | * ' Revered and holy " teachers on the north of 1 Mason and Dieksop, and he would bo taught * to liato (Sen.

To pursue this theme would he au inter- c minable task, we have merely alluded to it for *" the' purpose of addiug our feeble protest * against Isying too much stress on the guidance ni the lips aud actions of Revered teachers. ' A Christian preacher is the noblest of alt tcaab- " ers, and to be very highly eetccmod in lovo for his work sake. His greatest duty ,is, surely ' however, to point to (lie truths of the Bible, " for he is no inspired authority ; that, aud that j ? alone should bo insisted on ss furnishing a 0 lamp to the feet, and a guide to the path.? 1 ?
