The first speaker rose to reply. "Mr. Chairman
the gentleman misunderstood me! don't care any
more for the Bible than he does! but where we meet
passage in the Bible which apply to suit our
purpose We ought not to take exceptions to it; for
that ID fellow Bennett has worked SO strongly
upon the folly and superstition of the religious COM

with his own weapons, he will send US 10 the devil
What meant say was, sir, that there is passage
in the Bible which says make your calling and cleo

our meeting on Sunday, we can quote Scripture
like the devil, to defend our dongs!"

County Clerk and Sheriff; the said Committee to be

friend of our friend, Richard P. Robinson"
This was carried with immense cheering, and after
drinking an enormous quantity OF punch, they all
reeled home bed, except those who were taken up
by the watch.
After this devout display of public feeling, who can
doubt that Joe Hoxes election is placed beyond all

The Herald, and (salignanis Messo nger--
Our Mission-- Hoxie, O'Haggerty n Co.
When the Herald was established two short years
and halfago it was based upon the immuablepnn-
ciples of human nature, and in consequence II mas
now become the Journal of nations. Had La Roche
foucauld set up newspaper in the second quarter OF
the 18th century, his modus operandi would nave
been similar TO ours; for he was philosopher with
deep insight into the workings of the heart ana
the play of the passions, and we have shown our
selves to be the same by the wonderful illustrations
of human nature it has been our lot to exhibit. IL
the recording angel himself wished for model OF
popular newspaper, he would have but TO cast
glance al our system, and he would have some useful
lessons in his own vocation.
The principles upon which started gave us
moral certainty of the success that would attend Ell
forts based upon such grounds and we are not at all
surprised although doubtlessy grahfed, at The
many instances daily afforded us of our popularity ana
influence. Que regio terra nestri non plena sdbo'
r;s? Wherever the English languages spoken, the
Herald is now a looked.for vistant. Amid the
swamps of Sierra Leone and the distant environments
of Upper India its pictures of men and manners It's
searching views of things, and its maxims and doc
trines Of the new philosophy which IS obtaining IN
society," afford animation and gayety to the weary en-
nuues bring sparkle into the dulled eye, and curl
the lp once more into the almost forgotten laugh
The last Havre packet brought US file OF Galig-
naxis Messenger in which there were at least do
zen columns of the Herald extracted bodily as
choice amusement, and saluary instruction IN poll
ties, wisdom, and manners for the sages statesmen,
political economists, and men Of letters OF the gay
capital of the world
Such is the influence our laborous efforts have at
length acquired for us-an authority in all matters OF
taste, fact and reasoning never before acquired and
maintained by any European or American Journal;
and such being the case, how great is our RESPONSE
bility and how earnestly should we ponder over the
destinies we control! Our Indignant animadversons
on the audacy of Joseph Hoxie and the blindness
of his supporters, will become the subject matter Of
conversation in another hemisphere and the Ellen
Jewett tragedy may yet inspire the pen of Bulwer,
James, or Victor Hugo, by the Developments We
are continually furnishing.
The reformation of the press, and the expulsion OF
the stupid and bgotted vandals who now parayse its
energies are destined be our work; our influence
for any audable task undertake is now indestruc-
tbly rooted in the hearts and minds of readers
and by Gods grace the blessing of the holy Virgin
and our own resolution we will 60 onward, in spite
Of Hoxie, O'Haggerty, the devil and his agents.
