Notes on the State Election Decisive Result. There are some reflections on the late elections which it is worth while for politicians, and especially ambitions young men, to note and think of. After the course taken by the Democratic party in the war we never believed that party could he again revived with success. Its course wis unpatriotic, its leaders unfaithful, its policy unwise, and its results unfortunate. These are things the people are very quick to see, and not ready to pardon. Still, there was a most powerful organiaation, -which in 1SG0-'61 embraced a considerable majority of the people; for nine-tenths of th Southern people were on that aide, and nearly half the North. They lost this vantage ground by the folly and trealon of their leaders, aad the rotten and unprincipled corruption of their organisation. Tbe result wan, as we thought, inevitable. They have not recovered their ground, and their is no prospect they ever will. The prospect is darker for then today than it has been since 1863. Darker, because under the most favorable circumstances which can possibly occur they hare been unable to gain anything. In Tennijlvania, Mr. Packer was immensely wealthy the employer of large numbers of men, and the favorite of tbe Democrat--ic party; while, on the tbe other hand, Gov. Geary was unpopular in some parts of the State, and lost largely in Western FcDcxylvaDia. Notwithstanding all this the Democrats lost the (State, and have no jroffect cf regaining it. In Ohio the Republicans labored under out f-erioui disadvantages. Two years ago, in 1SG7, they were utterly defeated .cm the q leition of nero suffrage, and the democrat u;-ed the 15th An fiiJii fni question, in seite parts of the State, with almost equal itLct. The demoralisation in llatni.iou county, caused by the lieform ticket, was aluiuiit sure to produce jut the tflvct it did; and but for tbe fact tint it was disy uti ng to many more old Democrats, the ctlc-t would have been much greater. A it was, it uiade a difference of 2,70U votes iu one county. As it is, Mr. Peudleton did uot show hiiuscif is strong as Mr. Thurmau by several thousands of votes, and was not as strong by any u.eaus as General Rosecrans would have Leen. However, iu the case of Hosefrint it would no: liave Leeu a party issue, for he holds the gieat IU-publican principles strorsyly. Of Irwa we have nothing K siy, lor it i ti e stroiim t Ilepublicasi Slate in the country. Ou this t-tate of facts we re mail: 1. The democratic party pained nothing undet the best circumstances iu which ihey can he placed, and therefore show no recuj erative power for the future. 2. 5!r. i'endVti'ii has shewn no such n-r-erii-r etrength or popularity as would indicate fun a a succesMui leader for the Iii'ure, Me hax fhown that in Cincinnati he ha ntiv warm fiiends and Piui h personal popularity, which is a fact very cic! j itahle tu him, and peihaps as consolatory I anil he had won niore political honors. Hut he hs ju.t as effectually roved that J utide of Cincinnati he has no popular- j ttj whatever, for in almo.t every IKmt I tnttic county of the State he has a less! Bijori!y than Mr. Thuruian. It is true J that something of this is due to negro j mffraje question in lbC7, which brought uut a larger nnd more earnest Democratic; -. i, ni there was not lung iu .nr. letidleton'a name to stimulate or popularize ihe Democratic ticket. Air. Yallaudighaui oulJ j robally have polled just as many Vrttes. Tbe conclusion is that although Mr. IVnJ'ctou may very properly be Use iVnioeratic candidate lor President iu 1672. :n eae tbe Democratic party keep p its ranis ft ion , yet there is nothing indicative of success iu such a Domination. 3 The S;re of Ohio, as far as that question whs involved (and it was much j -.) has derided to be hows. Mr. Pendlejon 6naneial theories are as effectually buried as if ihy had been thrown into 'lie Ktd Sea. There are many Republics, as well as Democrats, who wish to get eut a new issue of greenbacks. The S'eenlack is the most -popular currency Jii coueiry ever had, and, in my opinion, ,li let. Hut the commercial world, al--t unanimously in this couutry and in hurope, decides that gold is the standard ef!ue, and the laws'of the Uuited States "ve defined a ' 1oU.tr" to be so many Pms of pold. We must, therefore, take " of two courses. We must either Maintain a percnaucnt piper currency, in erToitii -n to the cominerci.il opinion of 1 ut.j, ur we ust take such steps as : fc,J be in lur power to resum specie i I)nien;, at tome tie, and that time!

If ihcy were j 'ie the other course, the entire cotu.al bu.Miu-ss of this country would be tiii i,0 iuextricjl'.e confusion, and stupeies be seen oa every side.

VOL. 8, NO. 4U financial policy of the Government is set tied for at least four years to come; and, by that time, there will be no need of any other palicy. , The administration Las been sustained in its firm, honest, unflinching determination to retrench, economise, collect the revenues honestly, pay the debt honestly, and do what it can to bring this country back to specie payments. This it has done in the face of more disppointed office seekers than any administration has ever met; in the fact of a great body of repudiators; in the face of disappointed speculators by thousands; with an out cry against taxes, and a general apathy as iu poiiucal issaues. So mueh for the condition of affairs and what may be expected. The Demo cratie party has lost its chance to regain power. It is true that the administration may make great blunders; that Providential misfortune may come, and that there may bt a revolution in moral and politi cal ideas; but these things are improbable. The great issues are all decided, and the young men who are looking forward to a political future and not look to the Democratic party with its present organisation far success. It has been defeated in every idea it held, and there is nothing to hold to unless entirely new ideas and issues are gut up. The late elections in Pennsyl vania and Ohio were precisely those in which any defeat to the Democratic party was fatal to it. Apathy.disanrointments. disaffection and popular financial ideas wore all in their favor, and vet thru have failed. Not to succeed was fatal. It is a most disastrous and decisive defeat. Let us now glance a little at the details of the election in Ohio that we may see soma of the prevailing influences. We stated in the Gaxettc certain counties and districts in which we expected to gain, and we did so. This was especially the cage in the Southeastern and Central portions of the State. In the counties of Frat-klin, Pickaway, lioss, Pike, Scioto, Lawreuce, Jackson, Vinton, Gallia, Meigs, Wai-hirron, Allen, Noble and Monroe we gained nearly 5.000 votes. On the other hand, in the Northwestern counties, a 8 well as such counties as Fairfield, Perrv, llecki ng, Starke, Sic, the Democrats lost heavily. 5. We iurther notice a most significant fact in regard to workinmen. In the iica and coal regions of Ohio and Pennsylvania but!:, the Dimocrats lost Lirg.- fy. Iu Eastern Pennsylvania llr. Packer lost heavily on the ticket, including 4,300 ti'sijority against him in Philadelphia, and a loss in iust of the eastern coal counties. The same is true of Eastern Ohio, and it signifies a fact, which is very apparent to close observers of society, that the work - j inp-uien, though having an abundance of eminent leaders and political demagogues j to elective thctu, are, as a body, too intelligent to be iwp'iscd upon by such humbugs. The labors vf Mr. Cary and Mr. Pendleton coi-jointly to persuide workingmeu that tbe ii llation of paper troney ix good for them may (io in the light of the otli'.-ial returns, be perfectly appreciated. If the Democratic party are willing to be led by tuch humbugs and swamped by such follies, it wiil be forever where it is, ovct whelmed iu uiire, with no leaders capable of extricating it. The fault is radical and irremediable without a change in the policy of the party. It is a wunt of capacity and a waut of honesty, and what is pel haps more, a want of patriotic faith iu the reality of human rights, and the grandeur of a nation founded upon thos-e rights. E. D. M.

Lad accumulated a sufficiency to warrant them in purchasing a cow (of course they had pigs), which they did at the Srst opportunity. As it was bought of a Protestant neighbor, Paddy stopped ou the way home at the house of the priest aud procured a bottle of holy water with which to exorcise the false faith out of her. ' Isn't she a foine creature?" asked Pat of the admiring Bridget. MJist hold her till 1 fix the fihed." To save the precious fluid from harm he took it into the house and set it up it in a cupboard until he had "fixed'' things. Then he returned and brought the bottle back again, and, when Budget was holding the rope, proceeded to pour it upon her back. But poor Paddy had made a slight mistake. Standing within the same closet was a bottle of aqut fortis that had been procured for a fur different purpose; and as it dropped upon the back of the poor cow, and the hair began to smoke and the flesh to burn, she exhibited decided appearances of restlessness. "Pour on more, Paddy, shouted Bridget, as she tugged at the rope. "I'll give her enough now, " quoth Paddy, and he emptied the bottle.

THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS

BROOK VILLE, IND., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1869.

FALSE COLORS. "Dear Kate: Drive over this afternoon, and bring 'Brother John. Of course he is horribly tanned, and has a very Oriental beard, but will not, on account of his dark and savage appearance, be leas : interesting to tbe blue-eyed damsels of, the Hudson. 1 W m tra t n ti ntia trt Visr almvit tViA Arabs, gorillas, and other people among whom he has been wandering lor so many years, and about whom the missionaries tell such delightful stories. "A little seatimental 'croquet will be followed by a short 'German.' As ever, Julia WARRES. "Thursday morning." "Now, John," exclaimed my sister Kate, as she threw this note on the morning paper in which at that moment I was deeply interested in reading a long and able editoral, proving, beyond cavil, that velocipedes were used by prehistoric man: "Now, John, put down that odious paper, and glance over this sweet little note. You need not frown, and ask so peevishly 'What it's all about?' You might satisfy yourseif at a glance, if you would, only take your eyes for one moment from that bane of my existence the morning paper. There you have eat for two blessed hours, wearing your eyes out over a great, stupid sheet, containing nothing but reconstruction and patent medicine, while my infatuated husband has wasted the same amount of invaluable time iu gathering front another great daily nuisance enough political nonsense to enable him to wrangle with you. "I believe that you and he take papers of opposite politics, and pretend to differ in your views, merely to worry me with your interminable debates as to the best manner of conducting the affairs of the Government. You talk as if all the weight of free institutions rested upon your shoulders, when, it seems to -me, that the Government continues its course of prosperity when both of you are off iu the mountains hunting. "1 never could see why they should put any thing in the papers but marriages and obituaries, unless it be an occasional letter from Paris. But this is not to the point: it is just like you, however, to attempt to divert my mind from the question at issue. 'You have not said any thing?' No! I know you have not, and never will, until I burn up that paper, which I will do at once unless you promise lo go to the croquet party this afternoon. What's that? "You will go anywhere if I will only let you read in peace?' Was ever woman so unfortunate in her familyrelations as your wretched sistci! Here, I mere intimate that I wish you to read an itivitation to meet some of the most charming and handsome women on this continent much handsomer, I am sure, than the great, stupid-looking Lircassia ns, : about wlioni you make yourselt so rivliculou only to biiow you that you nave an opportunity for that refined association which, I am sorry to say, you sadly need, and you growl at me. 'You didn't growl?' Oh! no, of course not! Mr. Summers does not growl, either, when he goes stamping off to the library, merely because I won'i let him smoke on the lawn, and throw his cigar ends where my poodle is sure to get them and as sure to get sick. Oh! what a precious set of unfeeling wretches you men are!" Having given rent to this somewhat paradoxical exclamation, my sister swept Irom the room, utterly unmindful of my timid request for an explanation of the apparent inconsistency of her assertion that men are "unfeeling wretches" and yet "precious." That afternoon, after a delightful drive along that portion of the Hudson where nature and art have combined to produce the most pleasing effects, we reached the summer residence of the Warrens, and found the croquet ground already occupied by a very lively party. Three or lour men were distributing mallets to a number of thoreugh-bred looking women, whose light, airy costumes contrasted well with the green' lawu over which thej were scattered iu various attitudes of careless grace. My btother-in-law, Mr. Sonimcrs, ex a . 1 pressed hia views of tlie scene in an audible soliloquy, to the effect that woman was, tlie most beautiful cf all animals except perhaps the horse. Kate turr.ed upon him a look of withering rebuke, which he received very much as a duck docs an April shower; but before her indignation could find utterance, the handsome face of a long absent friend was presented to her delighted vision, and she sprang from the carriage, jovously shouted: Mary! Mary! Ihe young lady thus addressed at once j charged upon Kate, and they met in mid career, ror an instant, betore my astonished gEe, floated a cloud of lace, linen, curls, chignons, and croquet-mallets, in- ' extricably commingled in the wildest confusion; then the mas separated, and the two ' women reappeared, each in perfect order not a curve of drapery had lost its grace, not a ribbon its sin not a mil l it turis'- hut. i hanj ci!ipeJ in nand mni sweetly smiling .., .... , in each other's eyes.tbev swayed backward I

and forward, with the gentle, undulating ; horrid boys who always mauage to make motion of two beautiful yachts, which, j their appearance at the exact moment when having gallantly breasted the storm, at their presence is least desired. This last gracefully ride at anchor, with all; terrible infant at once volunteered the their rigging taut and pennons flying. J observation that a'ulF'1 should play with Sommors muttered something about the a mop, and that 1 could doubtless do gushing affectations of full-grown women, j better if I tied my hat to the end of the but immediately qualified his remark bv .bridge.. He furthermore reudered himself

observing that such touching deiaonstrations, although never excusable, might be; considered minor offences when exercised upon the person of the young woman called Mary, as she was certaiuly as "pretty as a race-horse, and had a splendid foot for croquet." pinkie giance convince a me mar i.ue latter part of his assertion was correct, and a very brief inspection aroused the suspicion that, perhaps, even his noble equine standard of beauty might be found to iov for the present emergency.

As we walked towards the pair of dovelike creatures, I noticed that the young lady in question was of rather diminutive stature, but blessed with perfect symmetry of form. A nearer view convinced me

j that she was beautiful; light chestnut hair gave charming effect to a fair complexioo and purely Grecian features; the faintest possible tinge of the rose brightened hen ntipplr ' nnft tli Kfriirit nF mitnhtfiF AnnnoA , and laughed in her dark brown eye "Mary, this is my brother John," said Kate. "John," she continued, "you have so often heard me speak of Mary, during her absence in Europe, that I presume you look upon her more in the light of an old friend than a new acquaintance.". I expressed my gratification at meeting such a warm friend of my sister, but at tbe same time thought it strange that 1 could not remember ever haiGg! heard Kate mention her name before; and now I don't believe I ever did, although Kate says that she had frequently spoken to me of Alary,! and distinctly mentioned tier surname t the time of the introduction, but that I appeared to grow suddenly idiotic, and, iustead of behaving with the eelf-possess-ion proper under such circumstances, merely stared stupidly iuto her great brown eyes, and called her "Miss Mary." My memory is not very clear upon this point, but I do remember that Miss Mary and I were partners iu thatgame of croquet, and that we frequently found it necessary to ihold little whispered councils of war, and that our adversaries very absurdly complained that these councils were frequently of great duration when there was only one shot that could be made, and, therefore, evidently no field for discussion. Little did they think, in the innocence of their hearts, that the field of discussion upon which I was then engaged was so broad, and the theme so exhaustless, that for sixty centuries it has brought music and eloquence from the lips of men, and yet still finds as willing ears as when it was first whispered in the groves of Eden. Miss Mary played with tueh wonderful skill, that our balls were always together, and we were always with the bails. She hovered around me with the fidelity of a guardian a ngel, now explaining the subtle distinction between "roquet"and "coquet;" now driving off the enemy, or following me in my banishment to the extreme outposts, and gently guiding me back into the road to victory. Well do I remember the glee and strength with which she would croquet a great, red whiskered beast from one end of the "ground' to the othcr, and then, w-ith a low, soft laugh, like the coo of a dove, come b;ick to me, and, fixing her clear, dark eyes upon mine, whispered well, very musical words. I wish this jramc might last forever, and experienced a sensation of pain when the transitory nature of my happiness was suddenly runic evident by the great, red w hi.vkei cd beast calling out that he was a rover. 1 ten very mucn mcunu to 1111 : him on the head with a mallet, but was! l. l- ! 1-1. 'IVUltU i V l UOlllf MJ IVC'VV.lr V ' V usages of society, and the physical advantages of mine adversary. Just at this junction however, the game was rendered less interesti he by the iiupertinent interference cf one ot the specta

tors. This ill bred person pretended ig-; shreds and utterly demolish, not only my norance of the state of the game, and, at slawl statement, but my patience and tema moment when 1 was deeply engaged ! wilcn T attempted to create diversion

with mv partner, asked me the color of mv bail. Up to this time, I had relied so entirely upou Miss Mary and had been so much otherwise engaged, that I had not noticed the color of the ball, aud, in a fit of abstraction, replied: "The little one with tbe light hair." At this trivial mistake, there were such undoubted evidences of suppressed mirth, that my partner, suddenly perceiviug. our game to be the centre of attraction , for many spectators, proposed that we should lose it immediately. This wc accomplished without the least difficulty, and sauntered eff toward the bouse. After wandering slowly and pensively through the conservatories and picturegallery, we came upon the billiard room, and nt once resolved to have a game. Coming upon that billiard-room was a glorious accident. We were the sole oc cupants; everybody else were out in the grouuds, playing the everlasting croquet or wandet ing among the flowers. The open ir is of course, the best place for old p;o pie, birds, and children; but for two loud 1 hearts, who are only happy in tlie society j of each other, there is no place like a dei sorted billiard room, or an old library, or ; any place, in short," where people nre not . wont to congregate oa a warm, moonlight i n'"ht. i We commenced a game immediately; j that is, we examined slowly, attentively, 'and separately about seventy "cues," carefully chalked every one of them, and having selec'cd two, had arranged the bails on ! tha table, when Miss M.ry iu formed Hie ' that I had chosen a ' cue"' without a "tip." This was very strange, but upou examina tion found to be true. Wonueiing Low such a thing could have occurred, I, with great care, exchanged the defective ' cue" for the "bri Ige," and was moving toward the end of the table to m ike the opening shot, when in addition was mado to our party bv the enterance of one of those disagrecab le bv eailim' to some one out of! the window w. and notifying him that there I was no "chance at me taOie, as mese iwo had not yet commenced, but were still chalking their 'cues,' and eating the chalk." I do not distinctly remember how or when the eanit was opened, but I have a 1 vivid recollection of a beautuul woman j unconsciously assuming every grace of . 1 . 1 1 ..... . . I' n-nltnn- . , in cltnil log so perfectly still in deep sna.iow, mat her pure, bi ijr'.it face wasgloriS; d with the'

beauty of Madonna; now slowly from gloomy shadow to the glad sunlight, that lingered caressingly amid the tresses of her waving hair; then dancing merrily through light and shade, with the rippling laughter and gleeful voice of the Goddess of mirth. I never can forget the charming grace with which, when my admiration was at its olimax, she timidly approached, and, with laughing eye and a voice of sweetest j melody, claimed 'a kiss. ' Of course she only meant to affirm that two balls were in contact, but I nearly fainted. Tbe sun went down in his usual glory, twilight deepened ..into darkness, then brightened into easlUrht, and still this glorious game went on. ' Sounds' of distant rrusic proclaimed the commencement of "the German;" the rustle of silk and tha atfft laughter of women announced the march to supper; rolling wheels told of parting guests, hut no frivolous dance or sparkling wine could lure two sympathiz-" ing souls from the fascinating game of billiards. . : ; , : Time, however, has never stopped for any one cut Joshua, and while we were in the most interesting and exciting pari -of -01 the contest, a clock struck twelve. I started, and cast a frightened glanre upon my beautiful antagonist, almost fearing to see her vanish after the manner of Cinderella; but she only rested her cue ori the floor, and gave one of her brightest smiles to Mt. tommers, who at that moment entered the room to tll me that the carriage was waiting, and Kate anxious to get home to the children.- I am sorry to say that I had for a moment some very' wick?d thoughts about the good old times of King Herod, but controlled myself sufficiently to say that I would, be ready to go as soon as I had escorted Miss Mary to her carriage. This I succeeded in doing after much raanceuving to keep off the great red whiskered beast with whom we had played croquet. WTith a meaning glance, a pressure of the hand, aud an engagement to drive the next afternoon- we parted. With a soul overflowing with happiness,' 1 entered Mr. botnmeis carriajre and at-' tempted to devote myself to the quiet contemplation of the blissful future so suddenly opened before ma. 1 was in silent rapture. But ray sister was in noisy rapture about a camel's-hair shawl which she had just seen, and so enraged me with her incessant chatter upon the unimportant subject of apparel, that, in a moment of anger, I informed her that the shawl to which she alluded was made of the hair of an Asiatic goat, and that there was no such a ihiag as a "caruel's-hair shawl," except in the female imagination. Kate, indignantly refused belief ia mj assertion, and j ustified her position by the crushing argument that "the shopkeepers cillod certain shawls camel's hair, and she supposed they kuew a goat from a camel, or, at least, more about a shawl than those luirid natives of Asia or Greenland, or wherever the odious goats are supposed to live." Summers here ventured to rcouire if he was correct in surrosinc th was tlie word wuicli sue ui'Dlied to the goats. Kate did not design to give him any reply, but was proceeutns to tear in hy inquiring the name of the great, awk- j ward, red whiskered beast who had been my antagonist in the croquet game. To my astonishment, mv beloved sister changed the subject instantly, and followed my lead with evident pleasure. 8he said if I meaut "the tall, fine-looking man with tawuy whiskers,' she could iuform me that his name was Charley Ashtou, and that he was the husband of the woman with whom I had been flirting duiing the past six hours. "Kate, you do not mean to say that Miss Mary is married?" I yelled tn a voice of indignant agony. ' . "Yes," replied Kate, "I do mean to ay that my friend Mary Ashtn, whom you so stupidly call 'Miss Mary,' is married, and that every body mu; have thought you very silly to devote yourself for a whole evening to a married woman, when there were so many handsome maidens all around you." I did not take that drive with "Miss Mary" on the next morning, but I took the train fvr New York, and expect to take the next steamer for Liverpool, provided "Miss Mary" has not also eng-iged p;issnge. Such women should not be allowed to go at large. What is the use of having a '-Society fir the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals," if man, the noblest animal of them all, is to have les protection than an omnibushorse or a green turtle? Congress should pass a law to make all married women wear caps or phava their heads, but then some of them would paint aud varnish the naked scalp sooner than not appear in false colors.. What Constitutes Hell. Dr. Norman Macleod is accredited in one of our exchanges, with the following: Lot the fairest star be selectedrlike a beauteous island in the vast aud shoreless sea in the aaure heavens, as the future home of the criminals frera earthr and possess whatever they most love, and all that jit is possible for God to bestow; let them ! be endowed with undying bodies, and with ! minds which shall ever retain their inlelleetual rower; let no Savior ever press his claims upon them, on God reveal himself to them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon them, no sauit ever live among them, no prayer ever bo heard within their borders; but let society exist there forever; smitten only by the leprosy of hatted to God, and with utter selfishness as its all pervadiug and eternal . purpose then, as sure as the law of righteosness exists on which rests the throne of God and government of the universe, a soeiety so constituted . . 1 . 1 11 r I -. . 1 bitter a-fferiog; to whtcli there is no limit worK out lor itself a lieu 01 somary auu

Alas! the spirit that is without love to its God or neighbor, is already possessed by a power which must at last create for its own selftorment a worm that will never die, and a fire that can sever more be quenched! FATHER HYACINTHE. An Answer from Rome f The ment. PunishTto Superior of the Order of Barefooted Carmelites has published hia letter in reply to Father Ilyacinthe; it runs thus: , . ", ; "Rome, September 26. "Reverend Father Your letter of the 26th only reached me yesterday. - You ; will easily imagine bow deeply it afElcted me, and with what bitterness it filled my soul. I was far from expecting you to fail to ' such , a depth. Therefore my heart bleeds with grief, and is filled with an immense pity for you, and I raise my bumble supplications to the God of all Alercjes that he may enlighten you, pardou you, and lead you back from that deplorable J .a? . I . -V. t . Tu- 1 - , B" en,c"a during the last five years," in spite of my personal opinions, which are in' general contrary to yours on many religious nes tiocs -as I have more than once expressed to you in spite of the counsels I have given to yon on several occasions relative to your preachings, aad to which, excepting in the case of your Lent sermons at Rome, you paid but little attention, so long as you did uot openly depart from the limits imposed by Christian prudence on a priest, and especially uu a monk, I always manifested toward ycu sentimeats trf esteem and friendship, and encouraged , you iu your preachings. 1 "But if that is true, so also Is it that, from the moment iu which I perceived that you were beginning to go beyond those limits, I was forced to begin on ray side to express to you my feare, and to mark to you my dissatisfaction.. Yeu must remember, my Reverend Father, that I did so especially last y ear, ' about the month of October, w heu passing through Frauce, relative to a letter addressed by you to club in Paris. I then expressed to you what annoyance that writing had caused me. Your letters published in Italy were also very painful to me, and also drew ou you from me observations and reproaches when you last visited Rome. Lastly, your presence and your speech at the Lig ita lic la I'ai.r, filled up the measure of my apprehension and my grief, and forced me to write to you the letter of the 22d July last, by which I formally ordered you in future uot to print any letter or speech, to speak in public elsewhere than iu the churches, to be present in the 1 Chambers or to take part iu the Ligtte dt fa 1 aix, or any other meetings, the object of which was not exclusively Catholic and religious. My prohibition, as you sec, did uot in the least refer to your sermons in the pulpit. On the contrary, I desired you in future to devote solely and entirely your talents and your eloquence to teachings in the church. "Consequently, it was with painful surprise that I read iu your letter that 'you could not reascend the pulpit at Notre Dame, with language perverted by dictation or m utifated by reticence. You must be aware, Reverend Father, that I have never forbidden you to preach, that 1 have never given you any order or imposed any restrictions on your teachings. 1 only took the liberty of giviug to you some observations, especially on the subject ; of your last lectures, as iu my quality of Superior it, was myright and my duty to do. on were, consequently, as free to continue your pieachings at Pari or elsewhere, as in preceding years,- before my letter of the 2d July last; aud if you have resolved not to reappear. iu tbe pulpit cf Notre Dame de Paris; it is voluntarily and of your own free will, and not by virtuie of meaiurc& adopted by me toward you.
