II must be obvious To every honorable man that

faIsehoods. which appear in the columns of the
New York Courier and Enquirer. relating to
their recent vote on the nomination OF Martin
Van Buren,. The Editor has been regularly pur-
chased and paid for, by lucrative office which
he holds in the city of New York; it his business
to circulate, through his columns. lies TO order
wholesale or retail, and no one can doubt that he,
as in duty bound, faithfully performs his con-
tract.
This king Of the Jews, who has sold his charac.
ter and his conscience, cand. like Judas, would
sell his God for 80 pieces of silver, cannot be
made to feel the influence Of truth. or the re-
proaches to which his vile calumnies subject him;
he is safe behind the mud-wall which he erected
as secure battery, to protect him from all the
reproaches Of virtue and honor. But he alleges,
and It cannot be doubted that the infamous SLAM
ders which he publishes, are manufactured for
the occasion, and forwarded to him by members
of either House of Congress, from New York;

PARIS, Dec. Is. 1881.
Sir:-Tradtion, history and revelation inform
us, that on this day, one thousand eight hun.
dred and thirty-One years ago. the standard Of
Christianity was planted in Judea, and the hope
Of nations and the founder Of Christianity was
born! And yet how little progress has Chris
tlanity made in the world when compared with
the population of the four Continents, and of the
innumerable islands Of the pathles, deep! This
is a fact-to deny 1t would evince ignorance or
prejudice; and to admit it is surely not to impugn
either the character of its Author, or the excel
lence of the system he established and inculcat-
ed. 1t is not true that Christianity has made
great progress in eighteen hundred and thirty.
one years, if we venture to make our human cal
cuiations, and to Judge of that progress by our
own mistaken aud erring judgments. The Apps
ties Of Christianity evidently calculated on more
rapid suCcess-and the disciples of the third cen
fury looked for golden age. when Christ should
reign, aud his pure religion become universal -
Weak errins man, would have imagined that
doatry would have fallen abashed before the
SIMPLE and sublime truths Of Christianity; and
even philosophers would have calculated on the
more rapid spread of doctrines and precepts,
which could not submit to be compared to even
the wisest principles of the most approved and
adopted schools OF philosophy. Aud yet how
little progress has Christianity made in the 49,
81 years which have rolled away since the birth
of Jesus, the founder of our most holy and sub
lime religion!!!
