1t win be observed that the signers of this
remarkable communication append their
names, not as individual citizens. but as
public officers. II is evident that they have
forgotten--it may be that they were mover
well aware of 1.-THE jealous rcpugnance
which has always existed in this country to
everything looking towards any union OF
religious and civil authority.
Gen. GRANT, Mr. CoLFAx, and Mr.
FISH, in their private capacity, have q
perfect right to belong to such churches
as suit their convictions, and TO ex.
press their interest in such views Of reli-
gion as seem TO them best and trucst ;
but they exceed the limits Of their duty when
they give their official sanction TO any rel.
gious enterprise whatever. The officers Of
the United States Government have no more
right to lend their sanction to a convention
of orthodox Christians than to a convention
Of infdels. The act in itself may be proper
and innocent, but il has no connection with
any political function and President GRANT
Vicc.Prcsideut COLFAx, and Secretary FISH
ought to receive for this abuse of their off
cial positions such n rcbuke from the people
as will forever prevent any repetition Of
the offence

STANZAS FOR MUSIC.
BY LORD BYRON,

speak not, | trace not, breathe not thy name,
There is grief in the sound, there is guilt in the
fame
But the tear which now burns on my cheek may
impar
The deep thoughts that dwell in that silence OF
heart.
Too brief for our passion, too long for our peace
Were those hours-can their Joy or their bitterness
cease?
We repent-we abjure-we will break from our
chan,-
We will part,-we will fly to-unite it again
Oh. thine be the gladness, and mine be the guilt.
Forgive me, adored one !-forsake, if thou wilt =
But the heart which is thine shall expire undebased
And man shall not breakit whatever thou mayst
And stern to the naughty but humble to thee,
This SOUL in its bitterest blackness, shall be;
And our days seemas swift, and our moments more
sweet,
With thee by my side, than with worlds at our feet
One sigh of thy sorrow, one look OF thy love,
Shall turn me or fix, shall reward or reproyc;
And the heartless may wonder at all resign
Thy lip shall reply, not to them, but to mine.
