We lay before the public in this paper letter
from NJ. Ledru Roln touching the prospects OF
Republic ,Dism in Spain, the desire of the United
States for the acquisition of Cuba, aud the duty of
the American Democracy at the present crisis.
We think that those who read this letter Will
agree with us that whatever charges may be
brought against its writer by his enemies, there
are some questions on which his inuocency is OF
the very profoundest description. For instance,
he labors under the illusion that the object of our
Democracy is to extend liberty and free institu-
tions in the world, aud this he expresses TO his
friend, George n Sanders to whom the letteris ad-
dressed with a frankness and simplicity which
must have made that experienced politician
chuckle inwardy as much as when exploding
Gen. Cass or Linn Boyd in his late Democratic
Ptritn. We respectfully advise NJ. Ledru Rollin
to study little more into the mysteries of Amer
lean affairs before he writes another letter to
Citizen Sanders. He will not 90 far before he
discovers that the Democracy, OF which he hoped
so much, has but one idea and purpose.
That idea is Slavery and that purpose its extern
sion and perpetustion. Does NJ. Ledru Rollu
desire any closer alliance with party whose
creed is the Girest despotism, whose symbols are
whips and letters, and whose policy is to imprison
women for teaching children the alphabet Ifso,
let him cultivate the acquaintance OF Messrs.
Pierce, Douglas, and the other leaders and repre-
eentaiives OF that school. But we warn him that
hemust change the style of his let ers if he wants
10 have them read by those Democratic" wor.
thica.

THE WORSHIP OF THE VIRGIN.

Our readers have already been made aware that
Pope Plus ". has summoned a grand conclaye
Of the chief dignitaries of the Roman Catholic
Church to meet OF Rome, during the month of
October to settle the question whether the Virgin
Mary was herself conceived without sin, and thus
free ~ birth from every faint of human impurity
and imperfecion, aud thus divinity who may
properly be made al object of human alteration.
Hitherto this dogma has not formed All authOrita.
tive part Of tie Roman creed, aud hes been
stoutly disputed within the bosom Of the Church
ITSELF but il is expected by the more Jealous sd.
herenis Of the doctrine that it will now be finally
adopted and made obligatory on all the faithful.
As far as il can be Sscertained by historical in
yestgatiOn, the worship OF the Virgin was to-
tally unknown among the early Christians.
Neither the disciples Of Christ the Apostles, the
founders Of the first various churches, nor the
early Fathers. allowed of any such worship. The
frat signs Of It appear about the end Of ihe fourth
century among sosne Thracian or Scythian Chris
tisn women living in Arabia. These women were
called in Greek, Collyridans from small cake
ceHyRs, offered by them to the new Christian
sOuOest. Dut c'tu AZ lhaL tune tnt tA1upie
given by Irene; Tertullian, 0rigen, BASIL sad
CbrysostOD, was followed, and Mary was con-
sidertd as any other mortal, and spoken OF by
tleologians with her faults and her virtues.
Still the special worship began to extend beyond
Arabia, and was accepted, 10 a certain degree, by
the church in general, and in the following GEN.
turies yarioas church-festivals were established
in honor Of the Mother Of Christ.
In the twelfth century however, the practice
of Variability acquired a certain dishevelIed aud
extravsgsnt character through various orders Of
monks and nuns. The Immaculate nature OF the
Virgin, however having thus been recognized in
this twelfth century, some canons Of Lyons took
I'd the idea Of her immaculate conception from
her mother, and Ut once marked a day il the
almanac for its commemsIstion. This invention,
however. proved too much for the hard hearted
order of the Dominicans, those bloody offshoots Of

THE RIGHT STEP AT LAST.

On Saturday the Grand Jury for the September
term closed their labors, and presented TO the
Court of Sessions very lsr9 number of indct-
ments among them true bills sgainst Mayor West
eryelt and two other members Of the Excise
Board for illegal rum-licensing, and against more
than eleven hundred persons for selling iIuor
without license. This is the most hopeful step
vet taken for the enforcement Of the existing
laws. 1t is step in the right direction; to use
homely expression, it is taking the bull by the
horns, and if vigorously prosecuted will do great
deal Of good.
Mayor Westeryelt's sympathy with rum-reiling
is VIGOROUSLY. Extensively conspicuous as exem-
plfed when it was found that the Ninth Ward
Alderman and Councilmen-in obedience TO the
will Of a large majority Of their constituents
had resolved to grant no licenses; whereupon
this model Chief Magistrate sonsoled the disap-
pointed applicants and DICTATED their fu,are
course by remarking that if he were citizen of
that Ward desiring to sell liquor, and should be
refused a license. he icouH sell uithout license and
in spite of the Excise Commissioners. Pursuant
to such recommendation a large number Of per-
sons in that and other Wards have continued to
sell without license, and some Of them have be an
heavily fned-$l00 we believe, in one instance
and more will be thus punished.
We are glad that a Grand Jury has been found
of sufficient nerve to strike at the fountain head of
this Ubiquitous business. As we construe the law
which they soemDly swcre to Uphold, Mayor
Wester7elt is morally guilty Of perjury, as are
two.thrds of the Common Council. The statutes
REQUIRE that all pertons who receive licenses to
sell liquor shall be OF good moral character, and
that they shall have tavern accommodation for
travellers. A subsequent section exempts the
City of New York; but we opne that at least the
moral character clause is good even here. That
Mr.. WesteIyelt did assist in Licensing scores of
improper persons no one can doubt: that he has
signed hundreds Of licenses for places where no
public accommodation was required is equally no.
torieus. Had he cast the weight of his influence
on the right side. he might have reduced the nun
Der Of rum shops by hundreds; would he even do
Mayor duty in prosecuting unlicensed deilers
and shutting up Sunday shops, he might in some
degree atone for the mischief he has done in mul.
tiplyiDg low groggeres, and thus fostering aud
encouraging the fearful rowdyism that disgraces
the City. If he shall be made to learn the right
path, by the judcious application of statute law,
he mSy leave the cares ofpublic Office wiser AMI
better mau; though lifetime of penance could
not atone for the poverty, the misery and CRIME
which has been and will be engendered in conse-
quence Of his re,hlcssness in the discharge of one
of the most fearful responsibilities OF his high
Office.

particularly unsavory in the following Resolves
passed by the late Wing Convention OF ts own Az
sembly District in the Cattaraugus County. We
print them in order that our readers may discover IL
they can, what has provoked the ire of our Silver
Grey contemporary, who seems to suspect that they
mean something:
RSso'red, That we believe that the great mass of
the Wing party at all times and the acts of the Wing
party when in power have been the side of Free
dom, Justice, and Universal Liberty; and 40 beey.
ing we feel bound to support and maintain that party
ard use our best endeayOrs for its snccess.

eordi9 contempt for the whole race of doughfaces
snd shall rejoice with exceeding great JOY on the day
when the Wing party shall be rid Of them.

published in that paper rejecting on the city sub
scription to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad as hav-
ing been obtained by false pretenses and maversa-
ton. Mr.. Cooper addressed note asking Mr..
McMcbael if the language applied to him. Mr..
McMchael's reply denied the right to question him.
but said he was legally, morally and personally
sponsible for that as for everything that ap-
peared in The american. Mr.. Cooper sent the
Hon. w. Cost johnson Of Maryland to act as his
friend, and as the bearer Of challenge to Mr..
McMichael, who asked two days for consideration.
At the termination Of that time Mr.. McMichacl do
cned the meeting the ground that il his duty

actions and he could not therefore be held personally
responsible. IL is intimated that the correspondence
will be published in of any fresh attack in The

The interments ut Savannah on Thursday were only

gratifying decrease. The deaths during the week
were le9, of which 1870 were from fever.
The Savannah Republican speaks hopefully as to
the abatement of yellow fever in that city.
There were five deaths by yellow fever at Augusta
on Monday and Tuesday last.
At Charleston on Thursday and Friday there were
81 deaths from fever.
Nearly the whole population Of Augusta has quilted
the city, and the country for miles around * covered
with tents. Tho fever was inc7easnQ. The Post.
