ing invitation; and proceeded, as he had right
to do as man and citizen, togrsbukesther rio-
lent men who had broken up the democratic
organization they pretended torepresent.
This was no impertinent interisrence, but an
answer to an invitation to Interfere in behalf of
a dangerous and disorganizing band which has
won, by industrious duplicity and consistent
treachery, the scorn of all good men Of every
party and Of every section Of the country. Yet
the men who have outraged all decency in their
own persons, and who have not only betrayed
the democratic party, but sought to destroy the
confederacy BY stimulating animosities and
creating organizations inconsistent with its
continuance, cry aloud for his blood. And it
is with inexpressible pain, not unmixed with
Indignation, that we have seen high function
the dignity of the high post he fills as TO rebulSe
the independent exercise Of those inalenable
rights which belong to every officer as a man
and a citizen, while the abuse of trust, the neg
lect Of official duty, and the prostitution of off,
cial influence to base purposes, brings from him
not one word Of censure or Indignation.
In making these remarks. we do not mean
to cast censure on the President-no, nor on
his cabinet We do not believe that General
Pierce directed the course which the Sec
retary of the Treasury has seen fit to pur-
sue--a course which no one, to our knowledge
has had the hardihood to defend. We do not
believe that his cabinet advisers have approved
Of it; for the manner and style in which Judge
Bronson was addressed and the purpose and OBJ
ject Of the communication are equally unjusti6.
able. We know that efforts have been made, and
are being made, to create the belief that the dis.
reputable missive from the Treasury emanated
from the President, and was approved by an
united cabinet These efforts owe their origin
10 that venal and vindictive feeling which
would profane all that is most sacred, if per-
sonal revenge, or personal aggrandizement,
should follow the PROCLAMATION. Give that feel
ing its full sway--let it hunt down faithful
officer because he rebuked factious violence
and the wicked designs Of unprincipled men,
and the ban-dogs would find that they had
gained nothing but the execrations Of all good
men, for the blood of the martyrs is the seed Of
the church.

After the great expense and trouble that have

they viii reach you safely, and that the experi.
ments you may make viii prove interesting and
valuable to yoursclfand the scientific world. They

Wherever the adamantine democracy as.

OF the State, the positions taken by Mr. Bronson
are triumphanty sustained and fully indorsed.
Among all honest men there is no difference of

sustaining the Presidents inaugural and in re.

if in a moment Of petulent reflection upon our
exit from Paradise, we, like the great English
poet, say this, yet our second thought, our abb
ding thought the reflection of all human being
is, that to have that companionship, that mutu-
atty OF support that closeness of relation which
belongs to our nature if it could not be had
otherwise, were well earned by the loss of
Paradise. say, begin social institutions with
but two human beings constituting it, and
then you have the patriarchal society, in which
the father of the family is master and ruler.
But if you go beyond that, to the commenc.
ing accumulation Of the human race, then you
have this great fact everywhere--you have
standing at the head of society priest and a
soldier. You have priest who thinks-who
gives legal, moral, and religious direction to
society-you have soldier who is the agent of
force, by which bad passions are to be re.
pressed, and the movements Of society are to
be maintained in their true direction. And
this is not an imaginary or assumed natural
condition. No long time has elapsed since.
upon our own continent Of America, in the
midst OF the savage tribes, which now hover in
the interior OF the continent in a condition of
hostility say, the time is not re-

ages were held in perfect order and subsection
under that most beautiful institution in its
adaptation TO the government of savage men,

the frontier of each colony upon this continent
there was placed a missionary priest and by
the side OF that priest was placed pyesisliat

him to the village. few days afterwards he
