ol ire Anaet Gabriel ocen yins the ceutre u very
en- husiastIc young man from Nsw Jersey occuuy-
ing position on his extretae left and short. ttik
SET man in white hat, sone City odd years Of ago,
ccoupsin the extreme end Of the steps on ths
right. At the time NE called to ascertain some
thing Of the gist of the peoceedings about 81
o'clock, 7. NJ, the acco deon player Was engaged
IN singing By ND, which We understood to 10.
And II this feeble BODY fall
Ana let II fairt ard die,
Nv soul shall quit this mournful vxIe
And soar 10 words on high.
Meantime the young Jc,seynan. in stream of
energetic tloqusace, was enlsrging upon the ea ~
mites Of the Pspe OF Rome, and the short, thick
set man, with his white felt hat OH au the time, was
engaged with equal earnestness in denouaciag
Queen Victoria and the Church Of England, and q
other churches. He confessed that In hi. day ha
had experienced religion; that hs knew what tho
change Of heart was spoken Of by John Weslsy,
but that be was not o religious man nov. As he
progressed in his discourse, he said: Friends,
come now to the point Of the msttcr Of religious
liberty in Sweden; and speaking of liberty, my idea
is. this is free country, and that sober man Like
me has right to walk along or stand up withOuA
being hunctei of tho track by the polite. And
yet they have been launching and hunchise
me sevell times today, just as il they wanted
TO kick up row. Bat they can't gil no Look
on mel know 'em Of old. Taey cs git no
hook ca mel was membeT 56 and
know something. No, sir. They can't get NO
hook on me, and their huncbing don't do No
good. And ] come now to another pint of the
matter. l suppose you heard of James Gordon
Bennett, his Satanic Majesty, as they call Lim of
tho NEW York HEsALD-and know him OF old
too--l was once carrier Of his 'en-aud learnt .
thing or two. Wen, about fourteen years ago,
made speech in the Temperane Hall; and what
do you think Bennett said about itl He told Some
ofthe abeninab,iist and devshestles that ever was
uttered under Goo heavens. That's news, reckon,
ant III But its Gods truth. Bat I've got another
pint. DO GU know thst james Gordon 3cnocst Ia
about the biggest Roman Catholic in the ring. III
tell , on whilt know from good authority Bennett
and Archbishop Hughes Is itst rs thick as two
thieves. Yes every Saturday night, tell you
asy il from good auth ,rty james Gordon BeDnstt
gees up and eas lorg talk with Archbishop Hughes
and tte ar hbisbop advertiscs in his paper, and he
is gist the man TO put hin up 10 all the devItry
and ras ali'y that is going on under God hesvms;
and that's The way the thing Is done. Taats the way
priestcsaft works il with bis Satanic Mijessy Now.
I've something 20 say Of John WcsIoy and his back
! slioiug fron the Church OF England lie came
over 10 ills country, and went preachiug around
among the lnaens N Virginny, aud when he went
| back 70 England, wish hs neg ideas Of conversion

mother denounced Lin. lie went TO preach in his
own pulpit, and they turned bim out; aid then hs
went and took be stand on his grand fathers tomb-
stone, in tie ehlhceyard and when tue church let
out, AID they were passing by, be commonosd
preaching. and told them they were all cor,uys:
That The Church of England was just as corrupt a.
tia CluIch Of Rome. And he said he was going
t. nskc roform-- and he did make a ref0rm--aDd
hats hat We sant to do here for tue liberty Of
kleech." We left this orator saying " he had soos
CID enough to bandlc any policeman that would try
10 huloh him off the track
Tie young Jerseynan at the other aud Of tbs
steps was somewhat more connected in the ar
raIig ncpt of his IDEAS d his aTgument-a rather
tnectNe stump orator by Cue way. He began by
calling oat III 9 loud voice, /" What has caused al
this excitement and repeating the cry he Instantly
attracted 20 himself four ftths Of the crowd. He
opened his batteries at n on the Pope of RNne
and spoke of his influence through the bishops and
the priests, su.on our political elections. IL .

"1hat the courtry 10 not entireiy fres while the
Pore Of Rome holds such power over It, through
