Their eyes are daily aud Hourly opening to the
meditatcd conspiracy Of the Radical party, to
set aside the system Of government under
which, during eighty years tho country has
enjoyed unrivaled freedom and prosperity and
to establish despotism outside Of law, In tho
hands Of sectional faction. Troy arc dis
eovering that while the most onerous taxa

This change Of opinion was manifested in

Of this Spring. Gigantic exertion,, tho ex-

all the prestige that General Grant could give,
and made desperate efforts In every way they
wero handsomely beaten by a majority which
m an ordinary, fair and square election was
equivalent to 10000. Michigan, Ohio, Penn

how the people view negro dominion in Ii.

With all the personal unpopularity of Mr..

At this time, perhaps General Hancock

MAY DEvor1oNs N THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES
It is the custom am ong Catholics to consecrate
this month most particularly to the honor OF
the Mother of God. The origin Of this devo-
ton was in schoolroom Of the Jesuit's Col
lege in Genoa, where the boys took upon them
selves, in this the fairest Of all months, to gay
homage to their patroness. They decorated a
shrine Of the Virgin Mary, as well as their
means allowed, and daily offered fresh flowers
as symbols of the little acts Of self-denial NOR
tiRcation and devotion, which was the main
and most valuable part Of the exercise. This
idea met with so much satisfaction among Cath
oics, that it was soon practiced in other col
leges, in families, and then in the churches for
all classes Of people. From Genoa it spread
gradually over all Italy, and was by the POP "s
highly recommended to the faithful FroL
Italy it spread over France, Spain, and all the
rest of Europe. From Europe it was carried
by the missionaries to distant countries, and
is now established on American soil. Several
books have been written on this subject, con-
tanning the exercises for each day Of the
month. One Of them is written by Father
Magsarelli, and has lately been translated from
the Italian into English.
The exercises Of the May devotion will be
held this year, in all the Catholic Churches Of
the city as follows:
Cathedral Chapel, Queen-street, 81 P. NJ.
st. Mary's, Hasel-street, 6 P. n.
