BEEcHER.
The Democratic papers are In a rage
because Beecher does not hang his head
and break down under Moulton's testi-
mony and Morris bitter speech. They
are denouncing Beecher for bad taste
and improrriety for going up to Morris
and speaking to him pleasantly after lie
had exhausted himself in q long speech.
in which he denounced Beecher as
seducer, a hypocrite, liar, and mon
ster generally. The Pioneer says, half
in rage and half in despair, that Beech
cr is not to be judged by the ordinary
standards Of human conduct. We
should say not, if the ordinary stand
ard is to he determined by such men as
Tilton, Moulton, and their gang of free
love, anti-church conspirators. Beech
cr is to be judged by the same standard
by which st. Paul, and all the great
martyrs and servants of Christ are to
be judged. They were cheerful, in
trend, imperturable, under greater per-
secution and outrage than Beecher is
undergoing. Tilton, Moulton, Wood
hull, and all the rest of the gang, are
kicking against the pricks when they
kick at Beecher. AS he himfelf says,
he is the happiest one involved in the
scandal. His thought and life overlie
the clouds. Let the conspirators rage
and the foolish and gossiping world be-
]ieve vain thing. Beecher will come
out, like the three from the frey fur
mace, without the smell of fire on his
garments. His persecution has already
cementea Plymouth Church to him as
nothing else could do, and so long as
Beecher lives he will have voice and
All influence AS far-reaching as the Eng
lish language and will enjoy that peace
and exaltation which comes only from
having gone through the flames. Mean
while, the names of Triton and Moul-
ton will rot, and their own free love
and free lust friends will turn upon
them and despise them.
