the time filled with worshippers, among
whom was the “gal Mike was paying
his devours to.” So he dodged the bull
as the animal came to him, and managed
to catch him by the tail. He was drag
ged round till nearly dead, and when
he thought he could hold no longer, he
nrrde up his mind he had better “ hol
ler.” And now we will let him tell his
own story:
So looking at the matter in all its
bearings, I cum to the conclusion that
I’d better let some one know whar I
was. So I gin a yell louder than a
locomotive whistle, and it warn’t long
before I seed the deacon’s two dogs a
cornin’ down like as if they war seeing
which could get thar fust. I knovv’d
who they were arter—they’d jine the
bull agin me, I was sat tin, for they were
orful wenomous, and had a spite agin
nte. So says I, Old brindle, as ridin’
is as cheap as walkin’dR this route, if
you’ve nr* objections, I’ll jist take a deck
passage on that ar’ hack o’ yoprn. So
I wasn’t very long getting astride of
him; then, if you’d bin-nhar, you’d
have sworn thar warn’t nothin’ human
in that ar’ mix, the sile flew so orfully as
the critter and I rolled round the field—
one dog on one side and one on the oth
er, trj in’ to clinch my feet. I prayed
and cussed, and cussed, and prayed,
until I couldn’fc^Lwhich 1 did last—
and neither warnTof no use, they were
political antecedents, in whom the peo
ple icpose the utmost confidence; and
it is with great pleasure and satisfaction
that I place this valuable letter before
the citizens of the United States, hop
ing that its noble sentiments will find
an echo in the heart of the nation.

Well, I reckon I rid about half an
hour this way, when old brindle thought
it were time to stop to take in a supply
ot wind, and cool off’ a little. So when
we .got round to a tree that stood thar,
he naturally halted. So sez I, old bory
you’ll lose one passenger sartin. So I
jist clum up a branch, kalkelalin’ to
roost thar till I starved afore I’d be rid
round that ar way any longer. I war
making tracks for the top of the tree,

Poughkeepsie, May 30th, 1855.
W. S. Tisdale, Esq.—Dear Sir:—
I received yours the day before yester
day, and have been reflecting upon the
subject of it.
I have watched the late movements
in the political world with deep con
cern. 1 would not indulge in despond
ency, yet thero are features of the times
of a strongly discouraging character.
I have not the leisure now to give my
views at length, but there is oue dark
spot in our political horizon, to which I
must allude, and which threatens de
struction to all that as Americans and
as Christians we hold dear; and that is,
in one word, the rabid Abolition spirit
which intrudes itself through the deep
cunning of European intrigue, into every
question, great and small, religious and
political, and in comhiniug with the
mixed good and bad anti-slavery feeling
of the country <>n all occasions. I speak
now of a fact, without going into the
philosophy or causes of the fact, when
I say that the reckless spirit of a wild
and truly unchristian Abolitionism is
that which I belirve Jesuits may, and
do, use as one of the most efficient means
to accomplish their great end, a r, .d the
end for which they have been sent here,
to wit: “ the dissolution of the Union.”
Look at the distraction and the dissen
sions in every Christian denomination,
as well as in political parties; in every
benevolent association, feuds created by
this black apple of discord; and now in
a movement which held out but lately
to the patriot some hope of successful
resistance of foreign conspiracy, what
is killing it, not with a slow poison, hut
with an almost instant death ? It is
the same impo ted disease; for, however
cunningly covered up from.view, it is an
imported disease. It is part and parcel
of the same Foreign Conspiracy. No
organization to resist Foreign aggres
sion, and the ev’.ls which threaten to de
stroy us, which does not resolutely
eschew all sympathy with these disorgan
izes, can have any success, lu that
direction, among abolition fogs, I see
nothing but certain shipwreck Leave
i Slavery, which is directly a moral ques
tion, and on\f indirectly a political ques
tion, where the Constitution leaves the
subject; let the South manage it in their
own way.
The attempt to organize a Southern
and Northern party, to make a geogra
phical division for the mere purpose of
attaining the ascendancy or control of
administrative power, is to me one of
the most pitiful, as well as dangerous
aud suicidal courses that the American
people can adopt; it is dangerous, be
cause of its geographical character
is suicidal, because of its inevitable re
sult in the ruin of both sections, which
ever section shall attain power at the
expense of the growth of irradicable

is a history of cruelty and bloodshed.

IFS FOR THE ADVOCATES OF
POPERY..
If the Bible is too obscure and diffi
cult to be pjfte^^^umds of the peo
ple, why is iMH^HmPfosts so seldom
undertake to explain its contents, so that
it may become in.eHigihle ?
If the celibacy of the Popes is an es
sential doctrine, and if Peter was the
first Pope, is it not strange that the
Scriptures should be so- particular in
speaking of “ Peter’s wife’s mother?”
If the Virgin Mary is justly styled the
Queen of Heaven, is worthy of adora
tion, and is the most effectual interces
sor, is it not strange that the whole New
Testament is entirely silent on all this,
and furnishes not even a single text to
sustain these doctrines ?
If Popery be the Holy Catholic
Church, wherein consists its holiness!
In its head the Pope? when, as is well
known, many of them were monsters of
iniquity, in its members! when in all
Popish countries, the people are notori

If the infallibility of the Popish Church
depends on the unanimous consent ofthe
Fathers, and the unanimous decisions of
general councils, would it not be well
first to reconcile the conflicting views of
the Fathers, and the conflicting decisions
of councils ?
If the gospel he “ on earth peace and
good will to men,” how can Popery be
the Gospel, when its history is written in
blood, as witness the Inquisition, the per
secution of the Vaudois, and the St
Bartholomew massacre ?
If not a trace of what is peculiar to
Popery is to be found in either of the
three most ancient creeds, via; the
Apostles, the Nicene, and the A i lianas
ion, has it much right to boast of its anti
quity ?
If it be possible, as Popish doctrine
asserts, that a man may lay in a greater
stock of merit than is Accessary for his
own salvation, is it nolstr.mge that even
when the best Roman Catholic Bishops
die, the prayers ofthe church are enjoin
ed to deliver their souls out of purga

If Popery can prove its identity with
the early Christian faith by what it calls

scholar, “ Offer you prayers to the bles

As Protestants,we are taught different

the Phillippians, says, “ In everything,
by prayer and supplication, let your re

first chapter of the book of James, this
general direction is given—“ II any one
of you lack wisdom ; let him ask of
God.” And in th«#65ih Psalm, David
cries out. “O Thou that hearest, unto
Thee shall all flesh come.”

“ Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of flier
cy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our
Hope! To thee do we cry, poor ban
ished sons of Eve: to thee do we send up
our sighs, mournings, and weepings, in
this valley of tears, Turn, then, most
gracious Advocate, thine eyes ol mercy
towards us; and after this our exile is
ended, show unto us the blessed fruit ol
thy womb, Jesus, O most clement, most
pious, and most sweet Virgin Mary.”
We fly to thy patronage, O Holy
Mother of God! Despise not our peti
tions in our necessities; but deliver us
from all danger, O evcr-glorious and
blessed Virgin.”
In a work called “The glories of
Mary,” endorsed by Gregory 16tb, in
1839, the following form is given for
dedicating a family to the Virgin Mary :
“ Blessed and Immaculate Virgin, our
Queen and our Mother, Refuge and Con
solation of all the miserable! Prostrate
before thy throne,along with my entire
family, I choose thee for my Lady, ray
Mother, and my Advocate with God. I
dedicate myself forever, with all my
family, to thy service
