To the Sec'flar and regular CIergy aud to
the Faithful IF the Diocese.

We have, Dearly Beloved Brethren,
on several occasions. given you advice
and recommendations concerning Elec.
tions, both separately and jointly with
our venerable colleagues the Arehbish,
op and the Bishops of this Province. 1t
is therefore easy for you to understand
of what Importance this subject is, and
how much we have it at heart. Howev-
er, at the drawing near of general elee-
tions for the Local Legislature, and per-
haps of several Elections for the House
of Commons, We think it fit to once more
refer to it, and give you a resume of
those divine teachings, in order that
they may be the more engraved upon
your mind.
Nv. Beware, therefore, dearly beloved
brethren, of those men who support in
the newspapers they publish, by their
writings of every description, in public
or priCdte speeches, doctrines rep1diated
By the Catholic Church; beware of those
who uphold them, and follow them not,
however honest, however even religious
they may appear to you. They are
wolves in sleeps clothing. Thus you
must not vote for those who pretend
among other things:
10. That it is dangerous to introduce
religious principles into political strife:
20. That the Legislature must prohib-
it the Pastors of the Church from di-
Tectthg the cOflscieneeS of the people in
matters of election; and ought to pro-
tect voters from spiritual eensures;
30. That it is expedient for the people
to practice moral independence, when
politics are in question;
40. That it behOoves civil authority to
limit ecclesiastical power;
so. That the only functions that the
clergy are called upon to perform are in
the church and in the Saeristy;
60. That it ScOuld be desirable to hape
common schools where people would be
completely deprived of religious train
ing, and to wrest from the clergy all con-
troll over teaching.
Those are pernieious maxims, the car
rying out of which would entail the
most deplorable consequences. 1t is,
therefore, not sufficient that candidate
deny them for his own account; he must
bind himself not to follow a party or
chiefs who might profess them in their
speeches or writings. He certainly would
not avoid his personal responsibility, in
supporting by his votes, and eontribut-
ing thus to uphold in power, men who
would eOuntenanee and propagate such
dangerous doctrines They would soon
lead us to the ruin of the healthy influ-
enee OF BstRtsteTS Of religion upon the
people; to the subsection of the church
to civil power in spiritual or common
matters; to the secularization of teach
ing; finally to the unhealthy systems of
materialism and socialism.

THERE is a self-appointed committee
at Washington City, calling itsslf the I'm
ion Congressional Executive Commit
tee, which has levied upon every United
States officer an assessment of one per
cent on his salary. This comIaittee has
no right TO speak for the Republican
party, was not appointed by il, and has no
authority whatever to levy assessraents
The Republican members OF Congress
will, we are sure, repudiate its unauthor-
lied action, and diseIaiIn all connection
with this impudent attempt 10 raise the
wind. Many oftiesholders, mistakiDg
this self-aPpolnted concern for the Ma
tional Republican Committee, with
which it has no connection whatever,
have complied with its impud0nt de-
lnand; but, as many of them have not
yet done so, we advise them to pay no
attention to it. Any money to this
Washington committee il simply thrown

ICE so, GOO YEARS OLD,

The Alma (CoL) Yetos thus refers to
one of the formidable difficulties that
the miners have to contend against:
The altitude of the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan is 12, 500 feet. At the
depth of from so to 200 feet the crevice
matter, consisting of silicia, calcite, and
ore, together with the surrounding wall
rock, as a solid frozen mass. Mcclellan
is one of the highest eastern spurs of the
snowy range; it has the form OF horse
shoe, with bold escarpment offelspath-
lie rock nearly 1000 feet high, which in
some places is nearly perpendicular.
Nothing unusual occurred until a dis
tanee of some eighty or ninety feet had
been made, then the frozen territory
was reached, and it has continued for
over 200 feet. There are no indications
of thaw, Summer or Winter. The
whole frozen territory is surrounded by
hard, massive rock, and the lode itself
is as hard and massive as the rock The
miners, being unable to excavate the
frozen material with pick or drill, found
that the only way was to kindle large
wood fire at night against the back end
of the tunnel, and in the morning take
out the disintegrated ore. This has
been the mode of mining for more then
two years. The tunnel is over 29O feet
deep, and there is no diminUtion of the
frost. There is, so far as can be seen,
no opening or channel through which
the frost could possibly have reached
such depth from the surface. There
are other mines in the same vicinity in
like frozen state. The theory IS that the
rock was laid down in glacial times,
when there was cold enough to freeze
the very earth's heart. In that case the
mine is an ice-house whose stores have
remained unthawed for at least $4,000
years. The phenomenon is not unGom-
mon or inexplieable when openings can
be found through which current of air
can pass; but cases which, like the Bran
don frozen well and the Stevens mine,
show no way for air currents, are still
to embedded icebergs and the
glacial period.

FIT FOR WHAT.-It is related of the
distinguished Rev. DIR. Ballamy that he
had seasons Of deep dependency, wien
he was confident he was going to hell.
His brother often labored with him in
vain. One day, after al reasoning had
failed, one of the ministers said: "Well,
brother, you know more about yourself
than we do. To us you appear very
we'll; but after all yOn may be whited
epulchre-beautifu outside, but in
wardly full of corruption. If so, you
will go to hell | shOald like. however,
to know what you will do when you get
there
''Do| cried the doctor with great an
imation and emphasis; ''what will do7
will vindicate the law of God, and set
up prayermeetings."
Gan right, said the brother; ''but in
that case the devil will not keep you
there; he will soon turn you out as un-
fitted for his place and company"
The doctor came out of his gloom and
was happy.
Men viii go Mt last where they are fit
to go; and those who spend their lives in
the service of God would be poor COM
pany for the Devil and his angels, while
those who hate God and despise Christ
ians here, must have strange notions IL
they expect to be forever happy with
them hereafter. The disciples "being
let go, went to their own company.
So all will go at last. Lord, ''gather not
my soul with sinners, nor my life with
bloody men,"
''AmOng the saints let me be found
Wheno'er the archangel trump shall sOCnd,
To see thy smiling face;
Then loud through all the crowd I'll sing,
While heavens resOnIding mansions ring
With shouts Of sovereign grace.

TnF NAgIasAL BANKING RUsISEsS.

Not the least absurd Of the silly eateh-
words adopted TX the imitation quacks
is that which designates the national
banksas "bloated moHopolies. " The ma
tional banking system may be all wrong
or ali right, but it is no more a mOnOpo-
ly than the milling business, the foundry
business, or any other which requires
capital to go into it. UndaF the ex-
isting law apY D.sn OF set OF men in any
State can 90 into the national banking
business, provided they have the neees-
sary means. and can enjoy ell the bene-
fits of the SYSTEM bJ complying with the
requirements of the law. There is 10
limitation as to the amount of banking
capital or the number OF banks which
may exis; IN any State or in the country
at large 1t is true the government af-
fixes certain conditions to the BANGING
business for the safety of depositors and
bill -hoidrFs, hut every citizen can engage
in the business by complying with those
conditions. National banking IL no more
monopoly than the distilling business,
which has to be carried on under certain
legal restrictions, or than the retailing
of liquor, which no person can engage
in without lissnsf. Those who call it
a monopoly are either ignorant OF the
meaning of the word, or else they nse it
dishonesty and for demagogieal pur-
poses. As the law stands every man may
engage in the banking business who com
plies with its provisions. The only way
to make it more free would be to author
ize every man TO print benk notes, aflx
his signature thereto. and issue them as
money, and probably this IS what the in
aation quaeks will finally demand.
