standing on his high pinnacle Of supreme

Morrissey n little more time to repent
Of his sins and sever his connection with
Democracy and reform. he might at
least have had the good taste to refrain
from making known his sentiments in
public and under the sacred protection
Of the pulpit. We aro told that all the
New York papers this morning dsnounce
him. He Is denounced by a higher M.
thority than they-by the gospel which
no breaches and the Master whom he
pr stsnds to serve. Jesus says (Mats.

out Of the mouth come forth from the
