upon the sutferings of the people which were
brought upon them by their rulers, and by
proclaiming the fascinating theme Of popu-
lar liberty they induced the p~opulace to join
them. They dethroned their king, over
turned their government, murdered the min.
listers of our religion, threw the Bible into
the streets, and finally to throw ridicule up.
on all worship they selected the lowest, most
degraded and profigate of the female sex,
installed them as Godesses and worshipped
them. They still kept up the cry of popu.
lar liberty and carried the people from ex.
cess to excess until the wheels of revolution
rolled centre deep in human blood and their
velocity was kept up by aspiring dema-
gogues who would one day mount them and
drive over the necks of the people to be the
next day pulled down and driven over by
some more successful leader, who would
be followed and shouted after by the popu-
lace on one day, who would themselves lead
him to the guillo,ine on the next. Having
thrown down all religion the people were
hurried on from excess to excess, and from
crime to crime, until they had passed through
the whole catalogue of folly.
But impious and Heavsn-daring as was
the inidelity Of the French revolution which
brought upon France all the crimes and vices
of the world, it has remained for the inhdel-
lty of the present day to clp the climax Of
meanness and wickedness by proposing to
abrogate the sacred marriage relation and
the right of private property. These two
things upon which hang all the frame work
and benefits of society, are proposed to DO
a%brogated by these modern refomers, and to
finish the whole they propose to do away
with all human government, And they have
not the manhood to come out before mankind
and present their doctrines to the world on
their own merits but they have a far more cum
ming scheme! They have their lecturers out
over the world, who are zealously and stead
lily at work having for their main object the
oFerturning of our sacred religion, but they
do not tell you so plainly, they have not tho
honesty TO attack us in an open and manly
way, and for this there is some excuse; for
certainly no more cowardly and mean belief
can be conceived Of than Atheism, for it
merely denie': the word itself being derived
from two Greek words signifying 'without
