PraysT-Our neighbor, in hi. paper Of last
week, finds fault with one of the Superintendants
of our Sabbath Schools, for talking Know Nothing
ism, and praying the Lord ''to deliver from Dem
ocratic rule" We don't know whether the Seal
er of weights and measures" did this or not, nor
do caro-. But certainly, if there is one thing
above all others, for which a sincere Christian
who has the welfare of his country at heart, should
pray, it is that the Almighty would speedily de-
liver us from the reign of the present weak,
corrupt, and imbecile Administration Such
prayer might be offered with much propriety as
any other petition for deliverenee from pestlence
for it is fast getting TO be sench in the nostrils
of the nation and is the of every species
of moral and political leprosv.
