The Election.

We are frequently asked, How will
the election go2 In this congressional
district, there can be but one answer,
and that is,-H the people will work
and organize compactly, the Democrats
will carry every parish, except the four
lying on the Mississippi river. We
will elect in these fourteen parishes
the four mentioned excepted full
Democratic delegation to the lower
house, and gain two members in the
Senate.
But the leaders of the party, and its
nominees, must go to work, and work
with will for the next three weeks,
in order to accomplish the result we
have Indicated.

The InfaIIibiIity Question.

The Roman correspondent Of the
New York Herald Of May Sd puts the
infallibility question in the following
shape:
Your readers will be anxious to know
what tactics the partisans Of the de &C.
elesia doctrines and the infallibility
dogma in the council will adopt, now
that the French Governmenthas spoken
50 firmly, although so respectfully, Of
the consequences that would attend
their proclamation by the Ecumenical
Assembly. The proposed declaration
of relation between Church and State is
too much in harmony with the doc
trines of the celebrated Syllabus TO
haye much chance Of success against
the decided disapprobation OF the most
influential Catholic nation on the Con-
tinent, whose example will no doubt be
followed by that Of most other coun-
tries.
Bnt it is possible that a middle course
may he adopted TO save something Of the
Popes decOrum and some fragment of
the infallibility dogma apart from the
other portions of the de ccclesia schema.
At the Council of Trent, in consequence
of the long raging polemic between the
Franciscan and Dominican orders for
and against the dogma of the Immacu-
late Conception of the Virgin, the faith
ers decreed that thcnceforth the dogma
should not be spoken or written against.
Its definition was reserved for the reign
Ing pontitI, Plus TX.
Ii is hintcd that a similar policy may
be adopted in the present emergency,
and without going so far as TO define the
dogma of the Popes personal inialIi-
bility, the Ecumenical fathers may pro
hibit the faithful from opposing il either
in speaking or writing.

Old Coin Found.

following
Mr.. Andrew Lee, while plowing on
the farm Of Mr.. Jane, lIogg, in Rob
inson township, last week, plowed up a
number Of gold and silver coins, Of
Spanish, English and American stamp,
bearing date as far aS lI32, and
coming down to lSOj. Where the
coin was found was originally a
swamp, but some three or four
wears ago wa- drained, and al
though it has been cultivated for three
wears, strange to say no coin has ever
been found there before. Mr.. Lee in
forms us that the money WAS scattered
around over considerable ground, no
doubt caused by the plowing of preyi-
ous years, We were utable to ascertain
the amount found, as Mr.. Lee was very
reticent upon that point, but understand
he has sold about So 90 worth.
