But mankind hater+ the lust of power when it is veiled under the ears of piety ; they Irate canting and lepoerisy ; they hate advertisers and quacks in piety; they love to tear folly and impud- ence from the altar %•icicle should be a sanctuary only for the wretched and the good.

"In honest truth," says the Castor organ, "the Electear people aro strur•k with i u- e,cuity. It is ineoutpreheusib`?t? that the Grit party ruin the men who seek to stir up tlie working classes to mutiny, who daily insult the auth- ority of the representative of the Crown, who act as demagogues and socialists pure tied simple, should make tt bulwark of the clergy' to conceal their misdeeds. What does i'lercier take our priests to me 1 He wants them to fight like lions to approve a robbery of $100,000 committed to the detriment of the public treasury, Does be forget that the mission of our priests is to teach that "thou shalt not take thy neighbor's goods."
