am surprised at the prominence given to Mr..
Henry Ward Beecher's opinions in this political
canvass OF what possible value can they be to
anybody but HIMSELF His sentiments upon all
subjects change so often that, to keep pace with
him, one would need to be rs spry as a Western
man with his weapon in tavern fight During
the past few years he has held and taught many
things, not only not harmonious, but mutually
self-destructive. In these nobody can agree with
him, for the excellent reason given by the boy
for not counting the last little pig with the rest
s'He won't hold still long enough to let me count
him. He is, on the whole, in favor of the
Bible; but denies the authenticity Of a large
part of it. His theory of inspiration like a
good many of his other theories) holds water
like a sieve The doctrines of religion are in
terpreted by him in such a Pickwickian
THAT is to say Beecherian) sense,
that there is very little left of
them, and creed formulated by him would be
the greatest curiosity in the history of doc
trines. He is in favor of the Sabbath with the
understanding, however, that everyone shall
keep it or not as he secs fit He thinks shat
there may be hell, but, according to his con-
ception of it, he must be an exceedingly slow
sinner who is not nimble enough to jumt through
the very large hole which he leaves open for his
exit. His talents unuuestion able and IN
questioned, but his stability and consistency are
both minus qualities And, as in religion, so in
politics AS counselor. he is at ali times and
under all circumstances most unsafe and unsat
isfactory. To attempt to follow him is like
making fast to the tail of kite in the teeth of a
tornado. If he should attempt to follow himself
he would find his own trail as crooked as the
Mohawk river. Yet ne is never conscious of any
incongruity in his opinions and teachings. Such
men never are. They have sublime faith in
themselves. There they never change. Men

Within the space of one revolving sun,
Fight and make peace; abandon every gun,
And then declare the only fun.
For these reasons Mr. Beecher's ideas of the
present political contest will have power to
change a single vote A vast majority of his
own congregation are against him. They ad-
Inire him as pulpit orator, but they distrust
hifn-and with reason-as leader.
The simple truth is, old DR.. Lyman Beecher
man whose name is respected, and his memory
revered in the land had born unto him a son
named Henry Ward, who is in all things the op-
posite of his distinguished father Now. in his
day. DR.. Lyman Beecher was model Of cautious
faith, logical reasoning and inhexible principles.

AMERICAN Politics.

Views of the London ''Times" Concerning
the Ohio Election.
LONDON, Oct. 16-The Times, this morning,
deyotes a leader to American politics, apropos of
the Ohio election. Some noteworthy sentences
are as follows:
Ohio continues loyal to the Republican par
ty, and it is unlikely she will reverse her major
ity of Il, 600 in November The presidential
contest is now narrowed to New York and In
diana. No great issues have been raised during
the campaign. The personal question has been
more debated than the tariff or civil service re-
form When the election has been decided,
free trade will probably become the dominating
and dividing question in America"
