FOR TIIE SUN.

Ms. Mit-ma—There are two passages in your
Paper of yesterday which I could wish to see re-
published and brought into one point of view,
that they may he the more easily compared to-
gether, since they now stand on opposite sides of
the Paper, so that their extraordinary agreement
way not be unnoticed. The Bible, it seems, is the
grand stumbling-block which stands in the wAy
of both Cardinal FONTANA, and of SWANN the
Blasphemt-r.

CARDINAL FONTANA. BLASPFIENIEII. SWANN.

The Introduction of the Before the people can be
Holy Scriptures by a Pro- blessed with and receive a
testant hand, is like sowing perfect Government, and a
tares anoinot wheat-, &c. in pure and equitable Code Of
our Saviour's parable, which Laws, they most reject the
lie says is ne to the Bible as being the Word of
great injury of Catholic Faith. Gud, &c. &c. &c.
It has been suspected, that there is a.connec-
,tion between the Papists and the Radicals ; whe-
ther there be or not I cannot pretend to say, but
certainly there is a great similarity in their
doctrines, which have no greater difference than
there may he between the worship of the Beast
and the worship of his false Prophet ; both are
equally in contradiction to the doctrine of !kiln
who bath said " Search the Scriptures ; these are
they which testify of me ;" one rejects the Scrip-
tures, and the other withholds them.

This Circular of the Cardinal's will, I hope,
open the eyes of those great torn who favour what
is falsely called Emancipation, t'Hat they may be-
come no less sensible of the clang( r of trusting the
Popish Priesthood with the education of our
youth, than the impious won►en of Manchester
with the care of their children. The first sup-
press the second Commandment to make w4y for
an idolatrous worship ; the latter openly deny the
Faith that they may bring up their children in
the doctrines of thit Anarchy, !bat nil/Very. of
iniquity which exalted) itself alrove every thing
that is called God or is worsl►ipped.

lie that is discontented with himself, and with
tie works of Goo around him, will invariably be
a Democrat in Politics, and a professed Reformer,
though little inclined to begin a Reform in the
right place : whilst he who calmly reflects upon
the blessings of Time present, endeavours to grow
wiser from Time past, and looks forward with
hope and a laudable curiosity into Time future,
cannot fail to become a better man and a better
Citizen.

In this point of view we hail with pleasure the
annual re-apFearance of the little work before its
which presents, in an easy popular 6. tyk • judi-
cious ra it;l einem , clear and copious illustrations
of almost every day in the Calendar, not only in
regard to Saint's days, and holidays, bust also
memorable events of the earliest times down to
the passing year. The -peculiarities of Natural
History tor, each month are interesting to all
classes for their specific information, as well as
for the pleasing view they afford of Gorr's Provi-
dence at all seasons. He who takes up this little
volume must be wiser, and perhaps better, before
he lays it down ; and our well meaning, butlinis-
guided Radicals could find more real satisfaction
in tinning over its pages than they can ever de-.
rive from thumbing the Red Book so indobtrioUsly
placed in their hands. With great propriety it
keeps clear of patty; but its truths are not the
less deserving of notice, under the beads of
