1t will be observed that the Resolutions do not
touch upon the Tariff question. This we do not

For the Pioneer.
The "Early Pointed Style.''

am DESTROYS Of putting before the multitude the
"early pointed style in its true light and in as con-
else manner possible.
In the Pioneer of June 10, 1851, I find the follow
ing: "lt is to he much regretted that the credit Of
the 'eary pointed style Of architecture which is now
prevailing in ST. Paul, has he awarded TO the real
inventor The first building Of that style in St. Paul
was erected by Captain John A. Wakefield, author,
lecturer, &C., being small barn in the rear Of the
Fremont House. Capt. John a. Wakefield, there.
fore, is not only the author of the History of the
Black Hawk War; hut also of the 'early pointed style
Of architecture. We mention this because we like
TO have these historical facts all right while the
knowledge of them exists in the living memory Of
man. PaLnam qni merritt, ferat. Let those souls that
are benefited by worshpping in temples constructed
IN tins more holy, peculiar and consecrated style Of
architecture, remember the Captain in their dcvo
tions.'
A little investigation would have shown that the
style Of building first introduced here by Vicar Wake
field, and afterwards initiated by respectable branch
Of the church, not orr ginated by him. refer
ence to the History of the "Monastcrcs of the Le-
want would have COW inced you that the church ar
chltcctre OF the first three centuries was an inita.
ton of the Latin Courts of Justice.
The '.early pointed STYLE which you attribute to
Wakefield, came into vogue long after the time Of the
Empress Helena, and many years before the Cartain
and the Vicar of Wakefield saw St. Paul
Let those then who worship in buildings Of the
"cary pointed style not think of Wake6eId's sthing
Of straw" but OF the Roman Catholic Church OF the
Dark Ages. the real inventor of that style.
The building Of Wakefield is hi-y, but unclcan,
and such only NtUman or Pioneer would con
struct. Your commentator of it, was develnpc-
mcmt that panied every admrer of Edward Pussy, or
the Rom4nic style of church edificcs and vcsturcs.
1t is a building which many accounts is stencil
in the nostr, and it is well that there are not 'sbar,.
burners" among the upright.
"Qnndo Ilomerrs dormitat'' sometimes Homer
