"The Divine origin and unbroken trans
mission of Ministerial authority sermon
BIZ RI. Rev. Wm. II. Green, Bishop Of the
Diocese Of Mississippi.
We are indebted to the Rev. author, for a
copy of the above work, the object Of which
is sufficiently evident from its title, the follow
ing extract will give some idea of the style Of
the work, also an expansion of the title:
"Let it suffice me to say-and | say it in
the fear Of God-that no important fact Of
ancient or modern history is so capable Of
prooE,--I had almost said Of demonstration
as that of The unbroken transmission of min.
~isterial authority, from the apostles days to om
own. This is what we mean by apostolic
succession" a thing which, though much talk.
ed Of, and derided, is but seldom seriously con.
sidered and therefore but little understood"
An illustration of this subject is drawn
from Free Masonry as follows:

A Daniel come to Judgment.

The Hon. ~ james II. veazie, ex-collector
of the port of Natchez, has writ a letter-a
nice letter-to Governor Foote apologizing
for not attending the late Democratic Conven-
ton, and taking occasion to volunteer many
Sage opinions, and much good advice to the
Democracy of the State-for which, if they
do not show themselves duly grateful, we GER
tainly think they will prove that thankfullness
and a due amount Of kind feeling for favors
most gratuitously conferred, have forever fled
the earth. Hon. Mr.. Veazie bitterly com
plains hat the State Rights wing of the party
as he is pleased to express himself, have re-
turned to all the bad practices Of the barbar-
Gus a~ges-that they mercilessly make victims
of all former Union Democrats-hang draw
and quarter-then laugh at the horrid deeds
they have done with as much gusto as civaiz-
ed people should, were they enjoying the
most innocent and well approved pastimes-
poor yeazie! he is evidently looking through
the telescope received, and cannot see "mat-
tiers and things" "as Others see them" Not
only says he, cannot Union Democrats get
Office, but many even Of those who are al
ready incumbents, must be sacrificed, THAT il

only is a democrat but that he never cas any

continues he, has there been a single link lost
in the long Masonic succession reaching fnOm
the lodge formed but yesterday, TO that INST
first established by its founder. A further
analogy between Masonry and the Church Is
then traced with respect to the authority Of
the different degrees. an both there are three
degrees or orders, having a mutual dependence
among themselves and bearing a beautiful re-
lat;on 10 each other. > = As an entered
Apprentice cannot make a Fellow Graf, nor
a Fellow Graft, a Master Mason, while the
Master Mason may make them both So a
Deacon cannot make a Priest, nor a Priest,
make a Bishop, but a Bishop has full power
10 make both a Deacon AMI Priest. And fur
Their, every Master Mason throughout the
the world would have to perish before the
Apostolic succession could be broken" We
wish we could 60 further in our notice, but
our readers may not feel the sam interest
in the subject with ourselves, so we forbear
with the remark that we consider-in our

This fellows wise enough 10 play the fool
And TO do that well requires some wit
For sometime we have kept rather silent
on a certain subject, which 10 our inquisitiye
friend Of the Sstchcz C0sisT kss rseTel q
source Of much va.ied and great annoyance.
Sometime last March, If We mistake not we
published an article in the Republican in which
we took occasion while recommending Hon.
Hiram Cassidy for Congress, 10 speak Of Ger
tain negative qualifications which he possessed
and which another aspimnt for similar houors
did not possess. The Natchez Courier ike a
bird Of prey, ever on the look out for what it
imagines II can devour-pounced upon us at
once with the requirement that We should
boldly speak forth the name Of the indiyidul
thus only limited at-this as yet we have not
done, but always willing-are now really to
do so--fJr the fact we have not for sometime
surmised, is now apparent-frst that in the
article referred to we were ourselves, perhaps
somewhat mistaken, and certainly much mis-
understood and more, all divisions Of the
democratic party over the State, having By
mutual consent agreed to drop, past difleren-
ces-cordially unite in supper: Of the present
administration. 1t does not become lbs a
democratic Journalist, to allow private prefer
enees to bias our minds so as to do injustice
to any one-in consequence of his past acts Of
which, Though we may not approve yet for
which subsequent acts has fully atoned. SO
much for our position now as we believe " the
hour is come" we have no disposition to KEEP
back the man." Sister oh! most curious
Courier! pick up your Qong) ears-look out
watch-see and be satisfied,
But bark minute in your ear, there is no
danger of yor party running him for Congress,
nor for airy other office, so don't expect to gain
anything in that way. The Democracy them
selves have use, or most likely will have in
scme way or other, for him whoever he may
be, Union is now our watchword, amidst shall
point us on to sure, complete, and sweeping

CHARITY BEerNs AT HoME.-And unfortun-
ately with many people stays there too, as in

thirty slaves residing in Virginia, many warm
friends of the poor black man were written to,
and aid solicited Mrs. Sigourny contributed
S25. Mrs. Stowe who was of course written
to, con~tributed-not any %money-but a beau
tiful letter-all sympathy--'twas as she was
starting for Europe-to the embraces of the
good Duchess of Sutherland. She had receiv-
ed more than thirty thousand dollars, within
a few months for her precious book-but hen
freeing slaves in this manner she says sis not

to steal them, run them off by fair means OF

Gen. D. Il. Cooper.

We are pleased TO see in our community
again, oos mitch r.teerned fellOw-citizen, Gen.
Cooper. Most Of our readers are aWare Ofthe
fact, that Gen. Cooper, has recently been APP
pointed by President Pierce, Indian Agent,
for the Choctaws. His Head Quarters, we
presume, viii be near Fort Smith. The duties
Of this Office are multifarious, complex and
important The system ofsPeculation-if not
pecalation-hertofore praetised by some ofthe
Agents, has cast some obloquy upon the Office.
General opinion seems 10 coDeede that the
office is a sinecarc rather han a useful one.
Its objects are not only to report to the gov
eminent any turbuleney or outbreak of the
Indians; but to settle them in their new homes
under treaty stipulations-to provide them the
means Of physical subsistence, as well as TO
open 10 the minds Of the "untutered savage"
a new field wherein they can acquire a sub
stantial education, reformstheir habits and mod
el their lives. There are many talented and
educated men of this tribe, who are DESTROYS
Of cooperating with the Z. S. Government in
eaeeting an amelioration Of the physical and
mental condition Of their nation. The Presi.
dent manifested n determination TO choose
some gentleman as Agent who had never in
any manner been engaged in tra0icing OF
specializing upon the Indians. Here, where
Gen. Cooper is so well known, we want nc
further assurances, that the object Of the adj.
ministration, in this respect, will be faithfully
carried out.
While on this subject, We will remark, foi
the qualification of Gen. Cooper's numerou,
friends, that we are informed, that had he moi
accepted this appointment, he would have beer
nominated by the late Democratic Convention
at Jackson, for an important State Office. Nc
man in Mississippi stands fairer with the dem
ocracy, than Gen. Cooper, and the fact thai
his name was SO freely mention in the late con
v%ention, is a compliment ofwhich his friends
as well as himself, feel justly proud. Hienamc
was not brought before the convention as
candidate, for the reason, that he had accepted
the appointment above mentioncd-his friends
correctly presuming that, having accepted thu
appointment, he would feel bound in gooC
faith to the administration, to fill it. The com
pliment of the convention is doubly grateful
when we aver, on good authority, that Gen
Cooper had no thought of his name being use'
there, by his friends.
He will leave, as soon as possible, to TAX
charge Of his official duties.

CoPIAH County, MISS,

April 18th, 1858.
MEssRs. EDiroRs Seeing the names Of
several honorable gentlemen mentioned as
suitable candidates to represent this Congress
ional District, (Goy. Brown having declined
running,) permit me to mention the name of
HYRAM Cassidy, of Franklin Co., as the
choice of a portion of the Democracy Of CO.
piah. His position as gentleman, a man of
talents, and a true and tried Democrat, is too
well known to need any comment.
STULTUS.
We copy the above from the Port Gibson
Reveille and we will not attempt to deny the
fact that we cordially approve and rejoice in
the fact, that this and similar intitiations seem
to show that the distinguished gentleman men
toned, is gaining ground rapidly. We sin
cerely believe he is the choice of a majority Of
the party in Wilkinson county, he is more
over our individual choice, consequently on all
proper occasions we shall be found advocating
his claims to the nomination, that is, so far as
any man can have claims on his party. Du.
ring the late Presidential Canvass Mr.. Cassidy
exerted himself warmly, labored zealously and
untiringly, and is ever when opportunity Offers
ready to do the same thing. As is remarked
above of his qualifications in every respect are
too well known in the whole District to re
auire to be at all dwelt or and we confident
ly hope to see merit deserving as his, mos
abundantly rewarded.
