The CnlI,oIlc ReformatiOn.

The letter of Mr., Bryant, on the outside Of
to-day paper gives pretty fun and satisfactory
account of the Catholic Reformation, which was
lately commenced in Germany, that fountain
head of nearly all the great ecclesiastical re-
forms which the world has ever witnessed. These
reforms are spreading themselves over Europe,
and are communicated like electricity, 10 every
person, whose mind does not repel the full blaze
of light and truth. The same reformation has
been commenced in this country, and we think
the day is not far distan. when all intelligent
christians among the catholics will protest against
the errors, foies, idoatry, superstition, and fool
sh celibacy which have hitherto been the princi-
pal objections 10 Romanism. Those who know
us, know that we arc in no wise tainted with sec
tartan prejudices-we have no more hostility to
wards catholics as such, than we have TO any 9th
er religious denomination; but we are, and eve
will be, the decided friend of reform and pro
gress in ecclesiastical as well as state affairs
Fl There are numerous errors in other denomina
tons as we'll as in the catholics, which need re
form; but perfectability we never expect to see
so long as man is mortal, is boln with prejidces
and trained up in schools where supcranuate'
dogmas and time sanctioned falsehoods are taugh
as though they were pristine truths We like f
see the work Of reform going on everywhere
and amongst all classes of men and all den0m
nations of christians An era of good feelTn
and pure religion will speedily come upon u'
/, if mems minds are unbiased and unprejudicet
and are left free and unit ammeled.

MIR. d1slaDin.

The gentlemanIy and accomplished superin-
tendant of the Institution for the Blind, at Co.
lumbus, is now in Europe on business connected
with that institution. He lately wrote letter
home for publication, in which he defended his
own country, like true-heared and genuine
American, from the aspersions and malignant
abuse of lis enemies. Ofcourse the old Hunk
er federal coons at Columbus, who have an un.
dying hatred for all men of honest and liberal
views, instantly resolved that Mr.. Chapn should
be removed! and some more cringing, narrow
minded, illiberal coon, who has British whig
blood in his veins, will no doubt be appointed
in his place!

The New York Sun ays.-The Emperor Of
China last year offered England an annual tri-
butte of 6 100000, on condition that the cul-
ture of opium should be prohibited in the British
possessions lie implored the English 10 have
compassion upon his people and save them from
the demoralizing Influences Of The drug. The
British authorities replied in substance Our
profits on the opium trade amount 70 e. 100000
annually. We cannot relinquish il for less than
that sum- The Emperor couldn't afford 10 pay

Harrison County Bible Society.

Mr.. EDIToR:-At a meeting of the managers
of the Harrison county Bible Society, held in
Cadlz on the 9th inst, it was deemed suitable
way of observing the approaching goth, (the
day recommended by the Governor, 10 be observ-
ed as day of thanksgiving throughout the State)
to hold the annual meeting of the Harrison Co.
Bible Society on that day; TO have sermon

not be better employed on day Of thanksgiving
than in recording the goodness of God in grant.

more extended circulation. 1t is also one of the
most substantial ways, and one of the scrptura
ways Of lestifying our gratitude to cast Of our
substance unto the treasury of the Lord; "Bring
an offering and come into his courts"
Hence the following resolutions were adopted
at said meeting, viz:
Resolred, That an annual meeting Of the
Harrison CO. b. Society be held on Thursday
the Goth inst, at IL O'Clock, A. NJ, in the Pres
byteran churchof Cadiz, and that the Rev. Eli

preach sermon on the occasion; and further
that President Clark, Of New Athens, be re
quested TO act, if necessary, as his alternate.
ReSolDed, That tbe recommended 10 said So
ciety, TO order on forthwith sufficient quantity
of Bibles and Testaments for this purpose; an,
that the present officers be appointed 10 prepar
a bill of books previous 10 that time. And
4 ReSolped, That it will be also recommends
TO said Society, to employ suitable agent, /
supernted the whole matter Of distribution thro
out the county.
II will thus be seen, that besides the sermon
/. much business of Importance will come befor

wide dissemination Of the Holy Scriptures, ar

Candidates for Governor.

Our whig friends arc already advocating the
claims of different individuals as candidates for
Governor. A correspondent Of the Steubenyille
Herald is in favor of "Od Mordecai' being re-
nominated The two stereotypcd candidates in
Steubenville, Judge Wilson and Col. james Col
lier, are once more brought forward-boIh very
clever fellows, in their way, but stand no chance
Of being nominated. David Chambers, of Zanes-
vile, alias "Old Eage-eye," is also talked OF, as
we'll as Henry 3. Stanberry. Our own opinion
is that Dir. Cowen of ST. Clairsvlle will proba-
bly, be the nominee, if he accepts, and he Ger.
ltaipy thinks not yet of "aingng away ambitions
The present incumbent will evidently be choked
of:-ho is not in favorwilh the ''old Ilunkers" o
the whig party, and besides he is mere cypho
"a "shadow Of a shade"-a nonentity! 1t il
no difference however; David Tod will be put il
excellent trim by his Democratic friends, anc
the way he'll distance his competitor will be
caution to ring bone and spawned animals

We have been beaten in Ohio badly--disgrace-

the entire democratic ticket has been elected by

You can't come it, Gentlemen.

The postmaster at New Philadelphia writes TO
us that the paper sent to ]. Exline is not taken
out, and presumes he will not take it any longer.
Mr.. Exline can't come the Giraffe over us in this
manner, no how he can fix it. He owes US for
the paper at this time just 1882, and if he ex-
poets to swindle us out of this sum he will find
himself vastly mistaken. We will stop the pa
per the moment he pays up, but not before.
The remarks we have made about Mr.. Exlne
will also apply to Peter Roach, Of Canal Dover
to whom we have sent the paper for the same
length of time, without being paid single rec
copper for our labor. lis positively TOO bad! A
man who would undertake to defraud the prnte
out of his just dues, would open grave, stea
