raelites wore sojourners and strangers, and BY
mutual antipathy toward each other, original
ing from their respective conditions, they were
prevented from intermingling by marriage, and
losing their distinctive characters This was
the cause which had been reserved by the Su-
preme Creator, during the space of three gener-
atoms and more than four centuries, as the &C.
casion for eventually bringing them out ofthe
land; for, in proportion as they multiplied, it
had the tendency to excite the iealousies and
fears of the Egyptian kings--as actually hap
tpened. I These jealouses and fears suggested
to him policy of the most intolerabe oppres-
sion and the most execrable cruelty toward the
Israelites; not contented with reducing them to
the most degraded condition OF servitude, and
making their lives bitter with hard bondage, he
conceived the project of destroying the whole
race, by ordering all the male children to be
murdered as soon as they were born. In the
wisdom of Providence, this very command
was the means of preparing this family-when
they had multiplied into nation-for their
issue from Egypt, and for their conquest of the
land which had been promised to Abraham;
and it was at the same time the immediate oc-
casion of raising up the great Warrior, Legisla-
tor and Prophet, who was to be their deliverer
and leader. Thenceforth, they are to be con-
sidered as people, and their history as that of
nation. During period of more than
thousand years, the Bible gives us a particular
account of their destinies: an outline of their
constitution, civil, military and religious, with
the code of laws presented TO them by the De.
ity, is contained in the books OF Moses, and
will afford us copious materials for the future
consideration. Their subsequent revolutions
of government under Joshua, fifteen successive
chiefs, denominated Judges, and succession
of kings, until they were first dismembered in
to two separate kingdoms, and after a lapse OF
some centuries, both conquered by the Assyri
ans and Babylonans, and at the end ofseventy
years, partially restored to their country and
their temple, constitute the remaining histori-
cal books of the Old Testament, every part of
which is full of instructions. But my present
purpose is only TO point your attention 10 their
general historical character. My next will con-
tain few remarks on the Bible as a System of
Morals. In the meantime,
| remain your affectionate Father,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

REMARKABLE CONDOLENCES.

An English paper presents the following CO
medicines between the French revolution in
1880 and 1913.
The most remarkable condolences are MOTTO

and obnoxious laws against the freedom of the

reform banquets. aas
On Monday 26th July, 1880, the ordinances
were published, which stupefied all Paris The
press entered their protest.
On Monday, 2lst of February, 1913, the
liberal party headed by Barrot. protested
against the measures to oppose the banquet.
On Tuesday, July 9th, 1880, the exaspera-
ton of the Partisan population was atits height.
Crowds assembled, and cries of Sc Vireta Char

past four, P. NJ, there was collision between
the people and the troops at the corner of Rues
st. Honore and Richelieu, and barricades were
raised.
On Tuesday, February 22d, 1913, crowds
collected, and the cry was '.Viue la rcformei

On Wednesday, July 22th, 1880, the conflict
became general throughout the city.
On Wedr esday, February 23d, 1913, the
struggle became serious-it was not an cnseutc
but an insurrection.
On Thursday, July goth. 1880, the fate of the

Louvre and the Tuilleries were in the hands of
the people. Charles and his descendants were
deposed.
On Thursday. February oath. 1913, at one
o'clock, the Palais Royal was taken and sacked
and at two o'clock the Tuilleries shared the
same fate. The troops joined the people: Louis

his grandson.
In the midst of the Chamber of Deputies, sur
rounded by the people, voice says of the abb
dication, sit is too late These same words
were used by Odilon Barrot to CharlesX. Here
the coincidence ceases. In 1880, the people
sought constitutional King as better than re
publics-now they will be contented with moth
ing short of republic itself.

We take the following from a letter in tn,

We take the following from letter in the
Courier de MarseilLes, dated Rome, Feb. 8:
''The following is piece of news that no
one dares to tell aloud, and which | hesitate in
writing so incredible does it appear. A per-
son, who frequents the Vatican, assures me
that proposals have been made to the Holy
Father TO abolish the celibacy of the clergy.
This, it is added, is kept by him carefully in
his secretary, and every time his eye falls upon
it, it forces from him signs of anxiety. Sever
al most distinguished persons, and among
them the Princess Belgiojoso, have left Rome
for Naples, that they may witness the recent
regeneration of that kingdom. 1t is said that
three hundred of our young men of the first
families will shortly go TO Naples, and inaugu-
rate a festival in honor of the Constitution Civ

The TROUBLE AT PADUA-There has been
very serious affray at Padua, between the Aus

citizens joined, taking part of course, with the
students, four of whom fell MORALLY wounded.
One of these four, as he was expiring, wrote

massacre continued, and from the beginning of
the affair the tocsin was sounded, and kept
sounding until it was over. The peasantsfrom

the gates of the city, but they found them bar

CRY ELEcTIoEs.-The election for members
of the Common Council took place on yester-
day. There was considerable stir in some of
the Wards, and we learn that few hundreds
changed hands Politics had nothing 70 do
with the election--it was hog and anti-hog; IL
cense VS.. anti license; and odd Willard against
the field. Those who were elected stood the
refreshments. and in some instances conceived
they had the worst of the bargain. The follow
ing is the result as near as we can learn:
First Ward-John NJ. StockwelI, Al; F. A.

The TEN REGIMENT BILL.-The Cincinnati
Gazette says this bill has passed the Senate,
notwithstanding the ratification of the Treaty.
No public benefit could have been expected to
follow the passage of this bill. The declara-
ton tbatit was needed to terrify the Mexican
Government, was simply ridiculous. No one
could have been weak enough to be influenced
by such consideration, particularly after the
silly declaration of the fact, by the military
chairman, Mr.. Cass. The President has with
out this act, power to raise an army of 10000
men, force larger than has been taken into
service, either to conquer Mexico or conquer a
peacel The act is wanted for the patronage it
affords the President, as corruption fund for
the next presidential election! 1t has passed
the Senate in obedience to the command of the
President. Will the House. the immediate
representatives of the nation pass it2 We hope
not. And sure are we, that if the representa-
tiyes heed the wishes of their constituents, they
will reject the bill. The people of the country
"a very large majority of them, beyond mis-
take-think the force proposed worse than use
Jess, and are opposed toit altogether.

A CHAPTER OF PoLIrIcAL WoNDERsl-Some
one has quantity remarked, that if peace be now
made, this will be the first example of war
begun without authority, and ended lpithout au-
thority, But this is only part of the won
ders which attend this most extraordinary
Chapter of History. Look at these. for exam
pie:
l. The President makes war without the au-
thority of law.
2. His Ambassador ends it without his au-
thority or any authority
3. The President of this country permits the
ablest general of the enemy to take command
and fight us as hard as possible.
a. The general of our forces, who conquered
the enemy is arrested in the midst of victories,
and, without offence, is to be tried as GRIM
nal!
5. We propose to pay twenty millions of
dollar for territory we have already occupied.
b. We have the best lands in the world, and
we are exceedingly anxious to get the worst!

that city on his way home says: s.We need not
recount the brilliant and successful services
which he had rendered his country in this short
and stirring campaign. They are fresh in our
recollection, as are his daring and noble bearing
at Buena Vista. Gen. Lane is an officer of ex-
traordinary energy, activity, and vigilance. In
service he is ever in the stirrup. On his march
up from Vera Cruz, when continually harrassed
by guerrilleios, he scarcely ever slept, aud was
certainly never caught mapping He arran-
ged an admirable plan for the capture of Santa
Anna, which was defeated by the respect paid to
a forged passport of General Scott. In several
skirmishes with the Mexicans Gen. Lane show
ed that his courage and tact were equal to his
energy and activity"

IRELAND-HER Music AND CHARACTERISTICS
". Mooney, the celebrated Lecturer on Ire
land, and Vocalist, is to be here on Monday, to
give our fellowcitizens grand night of Wit,
Humor and Songs-aH Irish to the Core We
copy elsewhere his Card, and we select from
the many newspapers testimonials he has cent
US the following illustrative scrap.
From the Toronto Mirror.
'fOn Wednesday Evening we went TO the
Old City Hall, expecting to pass couple of
hours in hearing something about Ireland, told,
of course, in the usual way. 1t was a cold
night, but the subject was to be Ireland, and
we must go. Go we did, and if we were not
pleased, then its a caution. We laughed and
we cried; we kicked, and we clapped; and we
felt happy and miserable, just as ii pleased Mr.
Mooney to work upon US, for two hours and
half
We heard Mr. Mooney sing the soul-stirring
songs of Erin, as we thought, with more power,
and pathos, than we have ever heard them sung
before. Where the secret of his command
over our affections lay, we are almost at loss
toaccount for 1t was not in the superior per-
Torrance of the Vocalist Mr. Mooney makes
no pretensions to musical powers. 1t was the
spirit of the song-the glowing ferver of the
bard-the throbbing pulse of Erin, embodied
in the heart-speaking music of Nature herself,
that thrilled our soul, and carried her away,
willing captive, to the mighty despositism of
our eaTLy Lore.
Mr.. Mooney sings the melodies of Moore,
with that eloquence which none but an Irish
man can throw into the song-none but an
lrishman can feel"
