properly, but what Il not Sd proper has himself
designated the individuals TO carry on the in

papers with that readiness 20 bow down to ad-
vertisiDg wealth and influence. which makes
them 80 truly independent, aud which enables
them to characterize all papers outside Of New
York as venAl and time serving, are shouting
in chorus that this is just the tribunal to deal
with the matter OF Mr.. Bsecher's "sorrow," as
they tendeTly phrase it.

way Of keeping up the value o. their property in
Plymouth church, and in a purely business way
il would be disastrous TO their speculation 20

the establishment of the charges against hiis.
What would Plymouth church be worth as a
property without Beecher? They are Just ss
likely TO cripple their sensation preacher as the
owneTsof a crack race horse would be to ham

her, and then they 20 on and predict that
