THE CALIFORNIA TKITMTH..
The Democratic victory in California
is invested with double significance,
when viewed as the turning point in
that tide which is to floa. tho old Ship of
Stato again, and re-establish the Con.
stitution as the chart by which she is to
bo steered in the luture. Tho nation has
become alarmed at tho revolutionary
lans and purposes of the Radicals. Tho
solid business men, tho men who hold
. - -- :-ncfv1
in commerce, manufactuic?, and vari
obs other branches of productive indus
try, do not relish the idea of having the
lialaucb of political power, North and
South, placed in tho hands of ino,
rant and prejudiced negroes. They
feci that neither their capital nor their
interests wil 1 be safe if such an infa
mous arrangement is consummated, and
hence in Connecticut and California tho
reinforced Democracy have swept the
decks and prepared them for the com.
ing Presidential battle. The vote in
New Hampshire and Vermont also
t-hows that the reactionary impulse has
reached those- States, though uot bo
strong as that marked by the results in
California and Connecticut. In 18015,
I he Radical majority in New Ilatup
shire was 4,(15(3, while in 1807 it bare
1 reni'hod 2.400. an enormous faHing
off, when tho small vote taken into oa
sideration. Vermont Radicalism drop
j ed five thousand votes from its muster
rolls in ono year, which has alarmed the
more ohservaut members of tho rulling
pirty, and caused them to speculate as
to the causes which are thus undormni-
iii' a party, which, for the last six
years, has rnlcd the country with a rod
i f iron, obeyed tho laws when it suited
'ts purpose, and repudiated them when
mi.'i a course was necessary to build up
or retain political power in the States or
nation.
In California, tho reaction is bold and
wc'.l iJiirked. The business men of that
i-'t ito headed the soctij which swung

It is amusing to see with what

justice requires the ballot for the ne

CATHOLIC CHBISTIATOTYNO. 15.
As tho Catholic doctrine concerning
Election and Perseverance is so fre
quontly spoken against, it may not be
amiss to cite one or two examples by
way of illustrations ; which may show
that all objections arise from ignorance,
prejudice, or hostility to the truth.
First. Take the apostle Paul. lie
was a leader in the persecution of the
Christians was on his way to Damas
cus for that very purpose, "breathing
out threatenings and slaughter against
tho disciples" when the Lord j Jesus
appeared to him tho persecuting Phar
isee became a humble and most zealous
christian. Here was the culling of one
who ws nnt only ' chosen to salvation '
but was a " chosen vessel " or " vessel
of election," to preach the gospel " bo.
fore gentiles and kings and tho children
of Israel." And when by the spirit of
God he had been brought to believe in
Christ, ho was justified by faith. An d
He who had begun tho good work in
him. carried it on to perfection. The
Lord had delivered him from every evil
work ; aud, ho could confidentially add,
"will preserve ma unto his heavenly
kingdom." 2 Tim. 4, 13. But Paul
was an inspired apostle, whoso converse
ion was somewhat miraculous. Take
then the case of Augustine, Bishop cf
Hippo, three or four centuries later.
There was nothing that we should call
miraculous in the conversion of a young
man of thirty, whose life had been divid
ed between the ambitions pursuit of rhe.
toric and groveling sensuality, to an earn
est christian and able preacher of the
gospel But in his " confessions " Au.
gustine reviews tho way in which God
led him after having suffered him so
long to walk in his own way how God
called him according to His own free
and sovcrign purpose, and kept him and
strengthened hitn, ' working in him

In the cso of suoh men, we not only
have examples of that electing and pre.
serving mercy, which take place equally
in caso of every true christian, however
humble, but we see how God "preserves
His church so that ' no weapon found

Fortress Monroe, September 7.
The brig Bcnjamino Delano, before re

damages. On tho night of tho 31st

cast gale, about thirty miles north of
Hattcras, eausinq; the brig to spring a
leak. The storm continuincr.Tand the
water being four feet in tho hold, her
deck load of timber was thrown over

bound to Wilmington, North Carolina,
and was towtd into Hampton Roads.
Sho has been run on the flats in Eliza

At a late mecting'of oyetcrmcn, held
in Norfolk, a committee was appointed
to wait upon General Schoficld in refer
ence to the recent oyster law, which has
given rise to much discussion and
trouble sinco its passage by tho Virgiuia
Legislature, principally from the fact
that the modo of collecting tho tax on
the oysters was accomplished without
system or corrcctuess. The committee
design placing their views before Gen
eral Schoficld, aud expect that by his
decision thero will iu future bo but one
tax to bo paid in addition to tho. pocific
tax. Tho great difficulty in tho present
law and of which the oystermen have
complained, is that many vessels aro
deserting the waters of Virginia, which
they formerly visited, giving an impetus
to ttado and brightening up buiiucss of
all kinds, and now frequent tho Mary,
land waters, where there is no other
than tho specific tax imposed on
the labors of this enterprising por
tion of the community. Tho heavy
tax imposed by tho law on all
vessels eugaged In cat ching oysters or iu
the trade has tho effect of limiting the

to be founued ou a correct interpret,
