long ruled Europe, till Europe had grown
mighty, demanded the silcncing Of that
Monk, and his preaching which threatened
the abolition Of papal and imperial despot-
ism. The Monk and his Protestant aboli-
ton preachers preached on. Pope, and
Priest, and Council, and Cabinet-all failed
to answer the preaching of the Monk. The
preachers preached on. Pope got mad,
cardinals ragged, politicians swore, crowned
heads were reelng. Europe was summon
cd to arms to conquer peace by plunging
into the wars which Luther and the preach
ers brought On! So deponeth Pugh for
Val. & Go.
Yes preachers, whose preaching has al
ways turned the world upside down, and
sometimes things in general, too, have al
ways brought on the warsl Nero-I be-
lieve it was-said the preachers set Rome
on FIRE. In all these wars, and fires, and
revolutions brought on by the preachers

Where is the memory Of the vanQuisheds-
Then, where soon will be the names, and
cause, and memory Of Val. and Pugh with
all who ignore God, the higher law, relig-
ion, the church and her ministry?-and all
who make war upon the country, the gov
ernment, the Union and the laws-who
give aid and comfort to treason, and enter
tain as their special guests and friends So
cessionists? Soon will they all be sunk into
contempt, and then into oblivion. For no
cause or party, in the 10th century, can
prosper that can't answer argument by ar
gument, but instead, makes war upon
preachers and negroes.
But they say Pugh argues. Pugh, for
Val. Pugh & Co., really argues against
preachers and preaching It is doubtful if
the preachers will argue very much against
Mr.. Pugh's theological politics, or his po-
litical theology. But he argues His text

would soon become inferior to the negroes,

comprehend the Democratic logic and argu-
ment of the Democratic motto--"FATHERs

spinsters-as saith the Cincinnati Com mer-

high-souled, statesman-like appeal to very
