LA Senator Brooks, Of New York
asserted that the church property held
by Bishop Hughes was in the bishops
own name, and that he had power to dis.

Letters have been received in this
state by political gentlemen of stand-

diplomatist admits that he has no
chance whatever of becoming Governs

was not needed to assure us of what is

have confirmation confirmed from such

The ELEMENTS OF INTELLECTUAL Putt
osornY BY Francis Wayland, Presi-

of Moral and intellectual Philosophy,
Second Edition. Boston: Phillips, Samp'

DIR. Waylaud's Moral Philosophy has
long been a leading textbook in its de-
partment, being introduced Tito largo
number of the colleges and higher schools
of the country. His work on Intcllec.
tual Philosophy is similar in its design.
and embraces the substance of the au-
thor's lectures on the subject, for years
past, before his classes in Brown Univcr-
sity. 1t is worthy Of the attention Of
teachers, and will be found, VIC presume,
fit companion of the former work.

both Of body and Of mind, yet chose not 70 prop
agate by coercions on either, as was IN his almighty
power TO do; that the impious presumption Of leg
isatures and rulers, civil wen ecclesiastical
Who being themselves but hllible and uninspired
men, have assumed dominion over the faith of
Others, setting up their own opinions and modes Of
thinking ~ the only true and iniable, and az such
endeayoring TO impose them upon Others, hath es-
tablished and maintained false religions over the
greatest part Of the world and through all tine ;

money for the propagation Of opinions which he
disbeieves II sinful and tyrannical that even the
forcing him to support this or that teacher Of his
own religious persuasion is depriving him Of the
comfortable liberty Of giving his contributions
