Dr. CUuton, of the Pnrisli. Never have I been called, my friends, to so painful a duty m that which is now before me. Never haio I known God grant I may never again know such a struggle of mind and of soul, as that through which I have passed since on last Sunday morning it was told me, " E. T. Sterling is dead." That our thoughts may tako a moro profitable shape, let me seek to link them with a passage of God's own word. Gon. iv. !), 10 : " And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother ? and he said, 1 know not : am I my brother's keeper ? And ho said, What hast thou done ? the voice of thy brother's blood crietli unto mo from the ground." It is a fearful thought that tha first human death of which wo havo any record, was a death by violence a death by murder and that by a brother's hand. So quickly did sin run to its bight, the first recorded crime after the fall of our first parents being the greatest of crimes, How olton in the subsequent history of the race, life has been token, God only knows. There will be an awful revealing of well kept scctets when the bla'e of tho judgment, throne throws its light on human history. There will be no oblivion there; no evasion there. When God maketh ir.quisit'on for blood, there will be no suppression, no witholding of evidence ; nay, it will not need tbo testimony even of the Omniscient witness to disclose the whole truth. Conscience, though it now may be scared as with a hot iron, or s'upeQed as with a deadly npiato, will then speak ; and the voice of self-accusing tongues will be louder than that of ten thousand upbraiding witnesses. Woe then, woe now, to the murderer. His fellow-man may never suspect his secret; but ho knows it, and that is misery enough. It confronts him when he is alone, and it makes him troinWo. It goes with him into the crowd, and there it fills him with terror. It goads him with remorse, or menanccs him as with an appariiion of evil. He may seek in mirth, in reverly, in carousal to drown his consciousness of crime, but he can drain no cup in which ho finds not a serpent ; he bears echoing his own mad laughter the mocking of the fiends who were his (empleri, and who unless he shall repent and seek mercy will be his tormentors. Only in confession and in penitence can the murderer ever find peace; cloaking his sin he "Bears with him a black curse, That Makes his boing an enduring dm' h." II. I remark again, as suggested by the text, that God holds society to account (or the blood of man shed by violence. In this case we find that Lie himself dealt directly with the murderer ; but after the universal deludge, when He gave to the head of the future family the, fundamental law for all ages, lie set forth the principle, ''Whosoever sheddelh man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." In dealings with His own people Israel, God established fully and perfectly the law concerning the punishment of the murderer, and be taught what I believe to be still rule bearing upon all tho communities of men. that He would hold each community responsible (or all diligence and fidelity in the admiciftration of justice in this respect. (See Deut. usi. ID.) ', III. Cut it is not the mere infliction of the penalty which God demands ot society. fl holds men in their social and in their individual capacity to a guardianship of tack other. , ' ' ' . ' ', From no month could (be questioni so filly come as frcm that of the first murderer, "Am I my brother' keeper ? " You and I, beloved friends, hear a voics lo-day which says, Eve-ir mart is the keeper of his fellow man. .'ll is hound to consider his neighbor's welfare in all bm own acts. Its is bound, so far as it la iq his yewer, to ship all tbt habia and customs at his family and of tht community in which he dwells ; and, in a land liko ours where each man's voice and vote bis Its part, is be bound to shifts all the laws and instita' tions of tho city, of tho commonwealth, of tbo haiku, so as lo guard not only himself M 01 4 4 4 U M 4 C B B B B o o o o a D 3 ? cr ? t? m oo id c$ e,$ c 1 iquare ...

With tho transactions of tho past week bo-fore us, pot ono of us daro ask concerning (he departed as Cain asked concerning Abel, "Am I my brother's keeper t" It is for me it is for you, each and all the most solemn of questions to-day, How, when God makoth inquisition for tho blood of the slain shall I answer for what I have done, or have left undone that might have saved our brother ? 1'!. T. Sterling was ono of tho founders of this Church. He was pecuniarily, its largest benefactor, Ha gave not only his money, but bis time, thoughts, his watchful varo to its well-being. Twelve years ago, under the ministry of the first l'cclor of St. Paul's he professed in Holy llaptism to bo Christ's disciple: and the tongue would deserve to be forever palsied which would charge him with havmg made that profession in wilful bypoo-ricy. When I first knew him, almost seven years ago, I thought I had seldom seen' his equal, in all that makes the high-minded liberal Christian gentleman. Ho was a Warden of this Church; a regular and faithful teacher in the Sabbath School; and exceedingly punctual attendant on all the services of the Sanctuary. His hand was ever open to the cause of Christ, and to the relief of His poor. More than two years ngo, as a Tastor, I could not but see and lamint the beginning of a change in the aspect of his Christian character. Itusiness troubles annoyed him, and called him often from his home. I feared that he was forming new and injurious associations. Soon his attendance at tho Commnnion Table became irregular; and ere long it ceased. At last the fearful truth was made too apparent, that there were tempters about his steps, luring him to his ruin. I shall not recite what took place in the repeated interviews between the pastor and this his erring brother. He ever took kindly ray admonitions and my counsels. He ingeniously, and withself-loathing acknowledged his faults. He wept; bo prayed, he resolved; ha struggled; he promised; he tried. But the Arch Tempter had many willing helpers, watching, laying snares for the destruction of body and soul. Where were the men who ought to have been this our brother's keeper? God only knows how far he was responsi- blc; God only knows, whether by a tiiiraulu of grace in the last hours, after the fatal inju ry was received; when, philips, seemingly unconscious, he so sought God's mercy in Christ so believed and the work of God's pint was so wrought as to rescuo his precious soul. That soul is now in tho hands of the Judge of all the earth who will surely "do right." Happy is it that man is not the final judge of his fellow-mortal. Hut hare I ar raign as guilty of his death every man who, knowing his weakness, administered to him the intoxicating cup. Here I arraign as guilty of his death every man who, knowing his weakness, partook with him in tint most do-basing of vices, in which only when reason wad dethroned by alchoholic diinks he could stoop to indulge! Thosa mon druggists, saloon keepers, hotel keepers who knowing tho first glass would opan the Hood gates of evil, supplied him with tho maddening poison: must answer to God when Ho maketh inqui sition for blood; and woo to them if they dare say with tho first murderer, -'Am I my brother's keepor?" Those mon whose trado is robbery, of tho biscst possible kind; who, masking themselves as friends, lure their victims into their lurking dons, and when they have destroyed for tho timo. all self-control, plunder them of that which belong to their families, it may be, their creditors or their employees; those men must meet the investigation of an Omniscient, inflexible Judgo, who has power to cast soul and body into hell. There will tuey find what is the guilt of him who, not his brother's keeper, has been his brother's destroyer. Theie they will find what is God's estimate of conduct liko that which the past week's investigations have disclosed; what tho decision of Heaven's Supreme Court will be, as to (he man who, professing friendship, could take to his own room a companion who, lie kmie, lost hissolf-coa-trol as soon .as he partook of tho first intoxicating glass; who made of thatroom what tho just verdict ot society's t'nanitnous execration calls a Hem.; who with a malignity ono might have looked for only iu tho realm where tbo Devil the first murderer rules, plied his companion with the draught of mortal doath; who tMMi from him (so tho world dcscrilies this trado of robbery) All tho money in his possession; and who (if bis own tale bo true) opened bis door, led forth his victim and, as though ho would ensure his injury if not bis death, extinguished tho light and left him in darkness on the stairs to group and to stum-bio, and to plunge heirMong to destruction? To each ono of us, my hcarersrthe Providence of God iu (his calamity has a voice. It spetks to each of us of the sin of drunk enness. . there is not ono word in tins rfcicreu Hook, from (list to lasl,of the disease of drunk enness. , I do not say it is never a disease, nor ever be treated as a disease; but where a man has such use of mental and moral faculties as enables him to know right from wrong.be cannot oxcuse himself before God, if. whatever be his appetite or his propc'isity, ho yields to tho temptation. God clajsis tbo drunkard with the murdirer. He says that for such tbero is no part in the kingdom of Christ and of God Xot that it is an unpardonable sio; but that it is like any other sin of the fleab.and out which lha Divine Justice cannot let go unpunished. Tbs current conversation of society, the common language f jba press, deals altogether too lightly with this otienso against God and sgainsl man. Even CbrkUian mtu and wouieu aro too ready to make a jest of the drunkard and of his habits; a fault which may well remind us of tho Divine declaration "Fouls uiako mock of sin " Of this subject I hopo to speak at length hereafter, yet let me now add in reference to it, that evory man should Lo keenly apprehensive of his own danger if he makes any use of intoxicating drinks. No man can sulely form such a habit. Those in whoso purity of character, in whose strength of will, in whoso intellectual powers and culture, in whose so cial position, there would seem to he every possible security, have proved themselves powerless against temptation. The best, the wisest, have been bound in chains by their soul's enemy, luring them to their dist ruction by the gradual steps of the drunkard's downward path. There is perfect safety in a habit or abstinonne; thoro U no safety in oven occasional indulgence; thoro is certain ruin for hint who, conscious that he has an appjtito for strong drink, uses it at all. From tho grave of tho lamented K. T. Sterling, possessed as ho was ol so mini noblo traits of char-actor; from tho graves of ten thousand thousand comes this night tho warning Let it alone, Tritlu not with what has murdered such a multitude already. Tamper not with what is dragging thousands, at this very hour, down to death down to everlasting death. Dut if any imagines himself safe, let mo remind him that God hath set him to bo his brother's keeper ! If not for your own sake, yet for your poor tempted brother's sake abstain. As you would not answer at the judgment day for tho blood of souls, let not your example tempt others to risk a peril which may woik their ruin. Ah ! what friend of K. T, Stei ling's would not say this night " I will drink no intoxicating drinks as long as I live," if that could but restore tho dead ! Oh ! that his every friend and companion had but said to himself, I know this my brother's weakness God hath set mo as this my brother'? keeper, I will never, by word orly example, entourage him, nor will I join him, in any such indulgence. , Had they done so, the voice of his blood would not this day bo crying unto God from (he ground. Of the other vice into which our friend fell, I can scarcely bring myself to upeak at all. Drunkenness drags a man down to tho level of the biuto : Gambling, persevered in, degrades a man to the baseness of a tie nil. It was only by destroying his moral sense through the intoxicating cup, that ho could bo uiado to stoop to such degradation. The essential nature of gambling is seen in the revelation that has been even partially made, in the investigations of tho past week. It is worse than theft ; worso that) a hundred other crimes for which the law sends culprits to tho Penitentiary, So even tho imperfect legislation of most well ordered communities deals with it. Why then, let me ask. has it been Inlcrnted in this city ? Why has not public sentiment demanded the enforcement of existing laws ? Why havo not thoso in authority felt themselves under continual pressure of public opinion insisting that tho laws, both as lo this vice and as to tho traffic in poisonous drinks, should be vigorously exe cuted ? Havo any of us said " It is not my business ?' Havo any said If I do drink ana gamble, I havo nothing to do with otb'-rs who may thus offend ? Hut where is Sterling, our brother ? Dare I, dare you, say, " I am not my brother's kocper"? Nay, "we aro verily guilty concerning our brother." Every one of us ought to have been " his keeper," his guardian, bis true, watchful friend ! There are other men in liko peril at- this bout '. Other brethren, fathers, sons, citizens, aro in danger of being plundered, degraded, ruined, it may be, murdered, through tbo allurements of these Destroyers. Mon and brethren, before God I charge you save them. Let tho thunders of public indig nation expel from our city all who would continue to ply this trade of death amongst us '. Let tho voico of our brother's blood be beard if not crying for vengeance on bis murderers yetciying for protection, moral protection, legal protcctiun for our own sons, for your husbands, Christian wives, for fathers, young men (or all who are lured into the society of those Vampires who would plunder and destroy them. Christian men and women ! hear the charge I give you all, young and old, this nigh!; and remind mo of it, if you will, when wo stand together before God's throne in judgment. I charge you never amuso yourselves with the implements of the Gambler. Never permit your children to use them, under pretext of amusement ; never, never provide thejn for your friends. Fiom every pack of cards, in your offices, in your parlors, in your clumbers, the voice of K. T. Stei ling's blood cries to you. Touch them not except to consign them to tho ilames. Kvcry pot upon them is a spot ol blood of soul-blood. Teach your children to abhor them. Here, before God, I thank my own revered Christian parents (now in Heaven) that they never sull'ercd mo to tritle with the Gambler's tools. If my sons perish, as our loved friend has perished, they shall not havo to chargo mo with being even thi unwitting occasion of their perdition. Happy ws I to hear one of your most honored fellow citizens, (sor a Church oomiouBicaiit,) say this week, " I have never played a game of cards in my life. I do not know one card from anothet." Would that every man, in public or in private life, could make tho same honorablo avowal !. No respectable .household! not to say no Christian family should ever tolerato what a distinguished citisen ol Alabama not long . since describad as M the well known iiripleiuoal of the giaiteten" II heretofore you have used them thoughtlessly, hereafter when you would touch them, think of K, T. Storling and let them alone. If ono so generous, so unselfish, so truthful, so bun - ii ,, ........ oruUe, so noblo, could not resist tho fascmo. tions of evil in this form, who can safely make- an experiment of going so far and no farther? Hut how is it, my dear hoarers, with each and all of you, as the whulo tenor of your life, as to jour whole character? You mty neitherbe a drunkard nor a gambler, und yet you may lose your sc ul. What a thought is this! A lost soul I Ho who dies in unbelief. in impenitence, in alienation from God. in ro-1 hellion against Ilim.must enter eternity a lost soul !

It was the offspring of an almost universal sentiment, and it wasorig- inated and organized by the people in opposi noil io mo w1S.ies o. me politicians ami iei.jt.l0 Arkansas Coiilcrcnce nre anli Sliverr I eis of all parties. Tho North had suffered frwa tho aggression of the South until in self, defense the people were compelled to rise up in their might and striko for their liberties. Their industry upon which they are alone dependent for their prosperity, had been for years crushed down by a foreign competition for low wages, encouraged and fastened by our own legislation, under tho influenco of tho South, that whito working men might be kept down on an equality with Southern Slaves. For this purpose the use an 1 importation of foreign manufactured goo U wis encoungad by a "tarifTof rovonuo," and wo as a nation were made subservient to Kngland and Franco. Freo trade tends to makn us a nation of farmers dependent on other nations for such goods as rcquiro the intelligent labor of freemen fur their construction; while protection and encouragement to manufacturing industry tends to make us independent of all foreign nations, and to elevate and improve the condition of tho free while mon who work for their living. Thus iho old contest between ' Fieo Trado" and "Protection,'' was but another phase of tbo same contest that is now being fought out 1 between Slavery and Freedom, lietwocn tbo oncouragouient of Slave Labor and tboeucour agemoni of Freo Iibor. It is tho support of Slavery and slaves on tho cue hind, and tho support of Freemen and Free Labor on tho other. Hero is ttie. way the people of the North, almost as one man, ought to stand up for the llepublicau party. - It is the party of tbo Free working nun; and its policy tends to hisvlovation a-d benefit; while that of tho present Ixofoco party lends to sustain iho 1 1-borof Slaves at tbo expense of tho whito nun. It would elevato slavery in laed it has; ai ready done it to the ruling power iu the nation, and instead of shaping our Legislation to tbo welfare of free whito men, all its efforts, under tho management of its southern mas- tors, is to extend the area of sluery, to in- crease the productivaness of slave labor, to add to thJ negro element; whiU the whito work ..... . ing men oi the North aro to bo choked dowu to an equality with Southern slaves! r. ' Under such aggressions tlio working men of tho North havo strujled on, until "for-beartnos has long ago ceastd to be a virtue;" and oontrary to the advice of loots who have hitherto been their political leaders, lby nni-t;d in Uis formali'Mi of iho Republican, party, ' while Whiistku and Ci.av, WtN'Tiiuoi' and ' ' Cr.HTKNlUiN, held aloof, and others of their J ! lenders went over to the LocofiK-os. Hence i , yon find that nearly all of tho loaders of this , i . " , ,i great pirty hive sprung up from among the rankof tho people-.' Many of thorn were once , . members ot tho f.icofoc party, while others ! I wore Whigs, but nearly all of them at that j j timo were unknown as political loaders. Thus , has originated the party of the ieople, and its 1 destiny is not accomplished, its roirso is not ; run, until tho Government of thu nation is 'placed in tho hands ..f tho, o who will shape! it for tho welfare of Free Men. and not for the strongll ening and kdvanrinx of Slavery. j I Where then is tho white wo.king man who 1 ii . -,i ii i i . i i . will not go with all his heart for the success of tho principles of the itepuhliran party?
