the boy WAS asked about the motive
which influenced him to commit snch a

present II man qualified to fill the posi-
tion he seeks? Is such nomination so
obnoxious, rs that the ticket should be
rejected? Was not the name Of colorcd
man presented to tho Reform Conven-
ton Tor LlcutenantCi aud did
not leading white delegates of that con-
vention urge the nomination OF n colorcd
man? And why was II colorcd man not
nominated? The proceedings Of the
convention show that it was because the
name was withdrawn by coIorcd man.
My conclusion, therefore, is, that tic
intelligence Of tho wEitc race in tho
State can never be made of any avail in
influencing the management OF its go
vcrnmcntal affairs, until it secures tho
confidence, politically, Of the coIorcd
race. That the coloresl race is devoted

FATHER HECKER IN Rome An interesting
discourse was lately delivered in the Church Of
ST. Andrea della Vale. by the Rev lslac
Hecker. the devoted chief OF the Psulist Fathers
Of New-York The occasion was one uf a series
of daily services during the octave of The Epiph-
any, in which sermons are preached in Ger
man, Spanish. French. Polish and English bv
the most eminent digines Of those respective
natioualities The other preachers in English,
beside Father Hecker, are Archbishop Splld-
ing, Bishop Moriarty, Bishop MacGill, Of Rich
m0nd, Bishop Ullsthorne, and Archbishop Man
ming. The appointment to preach on this occas-
ion is considered a matter Of high ,distinction
Father Eecker's discourse was in his usual stvle
Of fervent, enthusiastic eoquence. He preacned
his favorite theme of the impotence of philosophy
20 meet the wants of the soul, to solve the prob.
lens which are raised by the aspirations Of our
nature, and to give peace and courage in life
or death, arguing from that to the necessity Of a
divine revelation. and of authoritative, uu-
versal church. He spoke with remarkable free
dom and JUNCTION, with an impressive grace of
manner, and singular afiiuenoe OF illustration.
which combined with his glowing earnestness Of
appeal, produced profound effect on the i'm
mense audience, whi,h included a very cousider
able proportion of English and American Pre-
testants.-Cor. NJ Y. Tribune.

one to learn why the signal to stop was made.

see the light vanish. Investigation has PROV
