The Weapons.

We are dealing with an evil Of ten
centuries standing. Besides this in
itself considered there is probably no
parallel upon the lists of error. Slav-
cry was a crime SO manifest that it
only needed to be revealed in its en-
ormity to the heart of public opinion
to receive condemnation. But, Re-
ligion, alas, how many crimes are done
in thy name! The supporters of the
art of worship, Or induction into the
Church, of ritualism, Of apostolic sue
cession, of particular form or rite of
baptism, often are as conscientious and
as Jealous as Saul of Tarsus. One
of the essential elements of fanati-
cism is error in resemblance of truth.
There is scarcely a prelate in the
Protestant Episcopal Church that is
aware that by demanding submis-
sion to the doctrine of apostolic sue
cession they are the very schism.mak-
ing power, and they destroy the right
of the exercise of conscience. They
think you Presbyterians can just as
well be ordained as not by a bishop.
What is it to you? Are you not will
ing to receive blessing from an old
man? They do not perceive that no
man should move one step against his
convictions, and to ask him to do it is
to force his conscience and destroy
freedom. So they keep on in their
hopeless task ot converting the four
million of professed Christians, more
or less, in this land into practical
surrender of these convictions to the
opinions of a very small faction o
the Protestant Episcopal branch, who
number less than one handrcd ant
fifty thousand men, women and child
rem. When that surrender take
place we shall be glad, like th'
twelfth juror, to be wakened up t.
receive the verdict, but till that tim
we take our stand and have concludes
to sleep on the issue. Now, in treat
ing such subject as close communion

!, !, has the semblance of principle, it

" Mercy! What is it, Jack ?"

Mercy What is it, Jack ?"
Mrs. Sprout was alarmed; her hus-
band was dripping wet; his step was
tottering; his breathing was labored,
and there was a livid mark on his
forehead as though he had received a
heavy blow.

ces of exhaustion had passed away.

"Oh, how grand it is, Jack, to use

! Before Jack could answer the out

and Solomon Gordon entered the ap

for she did not notice the moist brim

he could have nothing whatever to
say, in such case, as to the second
person on such ticket; that. as also
the first place on the ticket, was a
matter for the wisdom of the people
to determine, and he certainly could
have no objectionto Mr.. Wade-wjtich

that Gen. Grant is in the field"
We yield to no one in admiration
of Gen. GRANT as a military man Of
superior qualities, and have no doubt
Of his qualifications for the Presiden-
cy, should lie be called to that po-
sitlon; but we very much doubt the
propriety of placing him in the Pres
idential chair We know he fills his
position as few men could DO. lie
needs no advancement to the Prcsi-
dency for the honor it might confer,
for it confers no greater than he now
shares III the estimation of the Amer
lean people He IS now the right man
in the right place. His services may
be needed again in the field. and we
are in favor of keeling him where he
Is, ready for any emergency.

nomination of the Republican party.
We could most cheerfully give him our
support, vet we would much prefer
