A J-uthcr hurled his ink Btand at the Devil. fo these gentlemen slinir Ink lit the scarlet woman and lift lii testimonies ji"-ainst those who wander after the beast with nzcal which far outruns discretion. Occa sionally, a person whose brain is diseased in this manner appears in political life, and Jhen we are told that the deleat of a radical can didate in a Congressional district of Pennsylva nia is directly due to instructions received from Cardinal Autoiu JIi and acted upon by the parish jrriests, and Congress is urired to manifest its disapprobation of tliis unwarrantable interlcr rnce by Mrikinir from the Miproprlation bill the 5tem for the miiintenanee of ti consul at Home, il'liese curiously illogical peojde are, of course, devout and zealous Protestants; but they think tomranlv of their own faith that they are con stantly fearful that the errors of Home will under mine it. The' resent fiercely the declaration of 2)r. Ewer that ''Protestantism is n failure,' and Etill they are afraid to allow it to come into free competition with Komanisin, and are eontinu ully seeking to instigate less timorous people Jnto handicapping '"the Jesuits," lest they should Vin the race. The great majority of the Pro testant community happily are too well satlslled Vith their own reunion to "share in tliese fears; lhev are quite persuaded that truth is mighty mid will prevail, and that truth is on their side; nd, moreover, they recognize the fact that reli gions liberty in this country is something more ilian a name, and that It is not true that all forms tf faith are '"tolerated" here, but that, as no one Jaith is recognized by the estate, all religions re made to tttund upon the same level ol right ful equality. This chronic fear of the Pope nnd this illogical Imwillingncss to idve him a fair show, is much iorc prevalent in England than in this country; nd some of theablestpoliticiansand theologians mi that kingdom seem to find their kBces knock ing together at every mention of that man of yiu. Herein Mr. W. R. tireg, one of the best siud most notable political writers of the present day in England, proclaiming, with all the Vehemence of a man who believes not only in Ihc truth but in the vital importance of the mes sage he has to deliver, that Protestantism can Hot compete on fair terms with Roman asm "in a Celtic population." nnd aiiat, if the former is deprived of llie worldly advantages and influence resulting 3rom a connection with the State, it will be speedily overslaughed and swallowed up by the 3;ttter. "Few men have a higher rank or a more rnviable reputation ns a publicist and a sound theologian than has .Mr. (ireg; his devotion to protestantism is unquestioned; but it would bo impossible to conceive of a more cruel and damaging thing to say against Protestantism lhan this utterance of one who appears as its champion in what he conceives to be the hour cf its deadly peril. One stauds aghast when he lellccts for a moment on what such a deolara lion as this means. Here is a religion, ac cepted and cherished by the grimier part of lUe inhabitants of the two most enlightened nations in the world, and which has spread ever all the earth, keeping even pace with civilization and material progress; a religion for which martyrs have died and saints have toiled; si religion to whose divine origin and perfect truth an innumerable host of its devotees bear witness; and yet we are told that the onlv way in which this religion can be maintained in a country peopled with men of the Celtic race is Jty supporting its ministration by money taken Irom the coffers of the State, and giving to its priests the authority which attaches to the ser vants of an organization that is a portion of the government. When this astounding state incut is analyzed, it seems to be susceptible of two interpretations. One is, that there is some peculiarity in the Irish nature which' may lead men of that raoe to abandon the" errors of Rome and embrace the truths of Protestantism only on condition that these truths are presented to them by clergymen if a state church and by bishops who sit in the House of Lords; the other is, that these clergy men and bishops are willing to continue to bribe irishmen to pretend to be Protestants, by giving them the advantage of belonging to a Church which costs its members nothing, but furnishes to them the (iospel without money and with out price, the State paying all the ex penses. The truths that we preach, Mr. fire" makes the Protestant clergymen in Ireland Bay, will not be received by" Irishman unless we can continue to deliver them as men who speak with the authority of the State Lchind them ; or, our religion is so dis tasteful to the Irish mind that they will Jiave none of it if it costs them a peuny. al though they may consent to accept it, or to pretend to accept it, if we can furnish it for nothing. Romanists and Pagans, to say notldng ti High Church Episcopalians, have sometimes Baid bitter things about Protestantism; but they never have said anything more bittor than this, Which is said by one who cherishes Protestant ism as the appfe of his eye. Mr. (ireg seems to incline to the belief, however, that the fault jests with the Irishmen, or, perhaps, with the Almighty, who has made them in a different mould und from different clay to that of any nther race. Englishmen, Scotchmen, Americans, tierman, and even the heathen peoples, can com prehend the truths of Protestantism and accept them on their merits; it is only an Irishman who cannot be converted, or who will not even pretend to be converted, save through the agency of a State church. Luther i. "to him a stumbling-block and the blessed Re formation is foolishness, save a clergyman who combines in his person the authority of the Crown and the grace of the Gospel preach unto them. Paul may plant and Apollos may water, lut iu Ireland there will tie no increase if the Btate refuses to pay the expenses. "The Irish," says Mr. Ureg, "are the most peculiar people to lie louud in the midst of European civillzntloii, nnd are not of the mere ordinary tvneof human ity." That might be taken by nn irishman as a compliment; but Mr. (ireg intends it as a con demn atiou and reproach. But, besides the taint of '"peculiar" blood, the Irish have had "quite discrepant autece tlonts ana an utterly various historical train- ing, bo that they have almost ceased to be human; nnd, although they do bleed when you prick them, laugh when you tickle them, aud revenge themselves when you wrong them, it is hopeless to undertake to make Protestants out of them Bave by the agency which Mr. Gladstone now wickedly proposes to abolish. This is all the more terrible since Mr. (ireg declares that "Ko mmiiHin. In the form which it assumes in Ire land, is the worst foe to all good," und thus makes it clear that not only is humanity iu Ire land scarcely human, hut that Romanism there is perfectly devilish. One shudders at the idea of what would have been the state of tilings In that unhappy isle had it not been that for four huudrcd years Protestanlsm in Ireland has had all manner of favor, power, pay, and privilege to aid it In warring against Roman ism, while the latter has been placed unde every possible disadvantage of persecution obstruction, and poverty. Much good has thus i)en done; but the fatal obliquity in the Irish luiud still stood in the wuy, and thu inability of Irishmen "to comprehend logic" kept them in the darkness of unbelief. Meu who have written before Mr. Greg have ventured to remember that ruliglou is as much a matter of sentiment as of logic, and Lave ascribed the "failure of Protest nutlsm" In Ireland to the very thing which Mr. Urrs declares Las been tUe sole ageucy whereby It haa been kept alive. The policy of maintain ing a Protestant Stato Church in Ireland, aaid Ir. Chalmers, "has enlisted in opposition to Pro testantism some of the most unconquerable prin ciples of human nature rcscntmeut bocame of injury, and the pride of adherence to a suffering cause. It has transformed the whole naturo of the contest, nnd, by so doing, has rootod and given ten-fold obstinacy to error. It has trans formed a nation of heretics into a nation of heroes. We could have refuted and shamed the heretic out of his errors, but we cannot bring dow n the hero from his altitude." Protestant in America, who have a lively faith iu the ab stract nnd vital truth of their religion, will re joice that, after tour centuries of this kind of business, Protestantism in Ireland Is to have, a chance to w in the victories which it achieves here, free from the curse of an nflilia'.ion with the State; but Protestants like Mr. (ireg, who think that the machinations of the Jesuit can only be counteracted by the aid of thu civil power, will lament over what every one else re gards as the most Christian ns well ns the most worldly-wise act w hich the Hritlsh Government has ever performed In Ireland. THE IICIJ IN A WHIRL. From the X. Y. UeraUU Since the memorable Boston Tea Party the "Hub" has hardly ever been in a greater "whirl of excitement than during the past week. The Labor Reform League ot New England as sembled in liostou on Tuesday, and plunge 1 at once into a liery struggle in behalf of free trade, free money, tree public markets, free travel, freo transportation and free land. On Thursday the American Tract Society closed an animated ses sion which it had held in the Tri-mountain City. The chief bone of contention was a proposed change in its management. Heretofore the Exe cutive Committee of the Tract Society lias been composed of Congregationalists, Baptists, and Episcopalians, lint as it seems that the Epis copalian have given but one-fiftieth part of the money contributed to support the society, and the Baptists but one fifty sixth " part, while the Congregationalists have given twelve-thirteenths of the whole amount, the latter claimed and obtained the control. The Treasurer's report on the financial condition of the society gives a balance of S-IOO.'.MO in its favor. On Thursday also the Sew England Anti-Slavery Society met in Bos ton. "Wendell Phillips, of course, was present, and read the stereotyped series of resolutions which virtually ignore the potent fact that the war abolished "slavery, and insist that the emer gency yet requires" the active and watchful efforts of the abolitionists. Othello Phillips cannot realize that his "occupation's gone." He is like the poor fellow who swore that his corns still tormented him, although both of his legs hud been cut off. it is. however, an encouraging sign of the times that the attendance at this meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society was not large. Almost everybody except Mr. Phillips is beginning to see that '"'More Last Words" on the topic of American negro slavery are as superfluous as those which Baxter's publisher was tempted to issue after the entire edition of his "Last Words" had been sold. Phillips' "More Last Words" found fewer listeners than the speech ns delivered on Wednesday evening at the meeting of the New England "Woman's Sufi rage Convention. There a large crowd gathered to hear Mrs. Howe. Lucy Stone. Mrs. Livermore, and borrowing old Father Grafton's expression "other hens trv to crow." iu emula tion of William Llovd Garrison, the chief rooster of the occasion. fho Free Religious Associa tion met in Trcmont Temple on Friday. There was a large asscmblge. Rev. O. B.'Frothing hani opened the proceedings by stating that the "society had no creed to propagate, members differing very much in their belief, but all seek ing alter the truth." Mr. Frothinghain foamed up to the spiritual, is imported from Germany, and was eloquently supported iu his plan for tae attainment of "an era of the absolute supremacy of human reason." After this a gentleman of the Jewish persuasion from New York made nn appeal for "truth and one God." Ralph Waldo Emerson followed in a strain of misty politico theology. Lueretia was absent, from indisposition. The Shakers were also in convention on Friday, with both sexes well represented according, ns they Maim, to the "Order of Adam." Intense love was expressed for the sisters, nnd faith with quakes and shakes advocated. But nil this hubbub will soon be drowned in the greut noise. Land reform leaguers, tract distributors, abolitionists, reli gious reformers, and even crowing hens must be silenced when the bir drum shall beat, the hW organ shall swell, nud innumerable voices shall thunder forth to the universe the glory of the whirling Hub. It is to be expected that after the great noise, Bostonians, for many genera tions to come, may be deaf if not dumb. THE LAIRDS' DEFENSE. From the X. Y. Times. The Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, have come out with a letter, it seems, aiming to vindicate themselves from the charge of violating the mu nicipal law of England in building the Alabama. This defense we may safely leave Englishmen to examine it concerns tnem more man us. ay ns much ns the responsibility tor the Alabama becomes less an individual one, by so much it becomes the more a national one; if, therefore, Englishmen are pleased with the logic of the Lauds. Americans have no ground to complain But this is not the tirst tune tne uuiiacrs or tne Alabama have taken up this Una of defense. It is really nn old story. In the House of Com mons, the senior partner of the Laird firm once declared, in nn elaborate speech upon the same subject, that "from the day the vessel was Jam down tn lur cmimlet inn vnrvthlii!r was ooen und above board in this country." lie ndded: I also further sav that the officers of the Govern ment had every facility afforded them for Inspecting the ship, during the progress of ImlldliiK. W lien the officers came to tne imiuiers iney were Known me shin, and lav after day the customs officers were on board, as tliey were when Bhe llnally left, and they leelared there was notninir wrong. Tliey oiuy leu her when the tug left." Such an authoritative statement should bo sulllcient to stop the diffuse discussion over laches, and the repeated hypothesis of English mpers that the government otiiccrs aiant now about the Alabama's character." Why do tliey recur to this excuse so often t Obviously iieeause tnev cannot see now tnose omcers could have acted as they did, with full knowledge of the Alabama's character. When Mr. Laird made that speech the English press, we remember, was really astounded for the moment. It has since been partly forgotten; but now, it appears Mr. Luinl lias come out wan a similar vindica tion of himself; and, ns we have already said, we of America must thank him for this think attack, ns it were, in our favor. The English journals see the unintended result of the new diversion. llie Star savs that though "the Messrs. Laird may be guiltless." England herself "cannot escape the penalty." The standard declares that "Messrs. Laird's vindication con demns the Government; the inadequacy of the law is an insufficient excuse for a breach of in ternational obligations." The Star and Standard represent opposite poles iu English politics, but on this irresistiblo conclusion they cannot but be at one. We repeat, therefore, thnt the Messrs. Lairds' defense is our attack; and under this cross-tire we may posslblv make auolhcr step toward securing what we a"re alter, namely, payment of the Alabama claims. QUEEN ISABELLA OF SPAIN REFUSES TO "ABDICATE." Fiinn the. X. Y. Time. The (jueen of Spain, wc are told, refuses to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Asturlas, and In s. been induced to take this course by the advice of friends. Wi should have thought that, U!'u "1L' """"tttiiceB. "abdicate" was not quite the word to be used by a monarch who wasd.lv en from the throne without being able to rally supporters enough to make one decent light. And we should scarcely think that the abdication of his mother woul Lave increased the prospects of the youthful Priueo of Asturlas very materially, or that her refusal to abdicate wui uAuicino uiucu lunuenee on the course of events In Spain But thero undoubtedly is u certain party in Spain which would gladly see the old dynasty restored In some shape or form, nnd it is, we suppose, iu dofereuee to the advice ol the leaders of that party that Queen. Isabella declines to renounce her personal claims to the throne, bhe must be thoron?hlr Imhund with the Bourbon Inability to learn or to forget, how ever, If she thinks that tho adherents of her dynasty can ever restore It. It is true that it seems impossible at present to manufacture a king out of any foreign princeling; . tiiat there rc difficulties In the Way of electing a born Spaniard to the throne; and that tlis m limitv .f me opnuisii puopiu are sun averse to thu Idea nf n republic. Hut it by no means follows, bee.iuso of nil this, that Spain is prepared to r.'verl to Isabella, or accept any puppet that miirbt lie out up in her name. We rather fancy tht o,i,...n Isabella s relusnl to abdicate Is of just about us much political importance as hi;r abdication would have Keen ana no more. In one respect. supposing her to he a''tu itc(1 only liyasinc '(re de sire to preserve tne uynusty, her decision is scarcely complimentary to the Spanish people. The Prince of Asturias, at least, has hit icrto preserved an unlileniislied character, and has not practically exhumed any utter incapacity for government. And yet, Ouecn Isabell 1 con siders herself Jikely to prove the more popular widiiiaic 01 me io. THE UNITED STATES MINISTER TO PARA GUAY AND Tllfc ALLIES. From the X. Y. Herald. A great deal ol unnecessary discussion lls to the situation of our Minister to Paraguay has heen caused uv tne reiusai 01 mu allied com batants against Paraguay to transmit his des patches, and the neglect on the part ot the agents ol the Associated rress to give news v iien it is in their reach. In the lb rnbl of May 17 we pub lished the fact of General McMahon s arrival at Asuncion, as will be seen by the following ex tract irom the letter oi our uio daueiro corres pondent of April 7: "General McMuhon had arrived nt Asuncion. but Is Slid to be extremely reticent us to l'aragiiayan ullairs. The fact of his visit to Asuncion is slat"(t in the I'lieiios Avres Stunitarrt, but none of llie Itru- ziliiiu correspondence from Asuncion and I.a Plata makes any mention of It. Captain Mrkland, of the Wasn. beliur bullied ny tne r'liisiuor thu allies to send on tin? despatches to General McMahon under n ling of truce, or to give tlie bearer a safe condui t past the allied posts, nan returned, it is said, to Jlucnos Avres, nner inaKing a protest. Since that period the agents of the Associated Press have on several occasions reiterated the statement of no news from Minister McMahon, utiH the Government has become at last anxious ibout him. Our correspondent gives in the ibove extract the true reason win' no communi cations have been received lrom the .Minister, md on this point we would recall another fact w ithin our knowledge. In April last vear several packages addressed to our Minister at Asuncion were delivered to Admiral Iguacio. Commander-in-Chief of the allied fleet at Curupaitv, with a request to for ward them the tirst opportunity, which was promised. It was an easy matter then, us flags of truce were passing every few days. In Sep tember, when our .Minister was descending the J'araguav river in the Inited States steamer "Wasp, the allied forces were met soniewher' about Villa Clara, and the Admiral then sent the packages on board the Wasp, tliey having been iu ins possession neiwcen live and six months llus. with the tact ot the allies refusing an .'scort and flag of truce recently to Commander Rirkland, to enable him to communicate with the Minister, show s that they are not very favor able to the transmission of any correspondence which they cannot rise beforehand. Thu loss of the steamship Mississippi, on her recent voyage from Rio Janeiro, has probably caused a iuriner ueiay in the arrival ol General .Me Mahon's despatches; but if the department will read the Jh-raui attentively, they will always be posted as to the latest news from our Ministers, us wen as everything else. RUSSIA'S MOVE ON CONSTANTINOPLE. From the X. Y. Sun. The report is current in Europe that the Em peror Alexander has decreed the removal of the capital ot the Kussian empire from St. Peters burg to Kiev, on the river lnieper. A palace is now building for him at the latter place, nnd tne impress has purch scd a large estate there. it this report be true, it is one of the most im portant movements which Russia has made for many years. Not only is it a formal advance upon the grand sv-stem of policy devised and commenced by Peter the Great for civilizing his empire and incorporating it into tho family of j'.uiujjcaii uuuuua, out u is an nuuoiiticemeni 10 the world that the designs of Russia upon itirKey are neneeiorth tone steadily and uure- icntingiy pursued, ivicv is bu miles nearer Constantinople than St. fetersburg; it Is within .500 miles of the port of Odessa, on 'the Black Sea; aud, by the aid of the railroads built and soon to be built, it is a point upon which, in tho shortest space of time, the whole military force of Russia can be concentrated, ready to march immediately upon cither the Turkish or the Hungarian frontier. Of course, it will speedily bo made an immense depot of military stores, nnd in the event ol a war would be both conve nient as a military base and as the headquarters oi military ana civil government. the selection ot the new capital is also signi ficant in another aspect. Kiev is the great religious metropolis ot itussia. tieiore the con version of the people to Christianity it was the seat 'of their heathen worship, and the advan tages of location und association which led to its eminence continue and maintain that eminence now. Within its precincts are the palace of the Greek bishop, the venerable cathedral of est. Sophia, founded in 10157, and numerous other churches, the famous Petcherskoi monastery, the catacombs ot St. Anthony and St. iheodo- sius, filled with the bones of Christian saints nud martyrs, nud a thousand other objects of religi ous respect to the devout Russian. As the Em peror is the head of the Russian Church as well as a civil ruler, his taking up his residence in a spot hallowed by so many sacred memories aud attractions may reasonably be regarded as evi dence of an intention to do everything in his power to strengthen that personal hold upon the affections of his subjects which has always been so remarkable an element of the strength of the Russian empire. THE "INSURRECTION IN GEORGIA." From the Louisville (Ky.) Courier. We can learn nothing decisive as to what has been done or is to be done iu regard to the two or three murders recently commuted in Georgia. We do not se, from the accounts published, thnt there is anything mvsterious or remarkable about them, but terrible threats have been thun dered abroad by the radical authorities and or gans as to what would be done, and we are unxiously or at least curiously watching to see what will be. The tirst notification we had was that instruc tions had becu scut to the military commanders iu Georgia to institute a thorough examination into tiie killing of Mr. Atkins, uu aged member of the Georgia Legislature, and of Dr. Ayer, another aged member of tho same body, and to nnd out, it possible, the perpetrators ot those crimes. We do not hear, however, of any exami nations made or set on foot by the military com manders. If examinations are in progress, they are conducted very secretly. Not a word is said about them. The press of both parties must have instructions to be dumb in relation to llieiii. And the prets, considering its generally inde pendent, not to sav rebellious character, is in this cuse wonderfully submissive to radical instruc tion. The fact Is that no examination is in pro- grefc under the auspices of the military com manders, and lor the plain reason mat mere is really nothing w hich the radicals wish to find out. They would rather have ten commissious to conceal t he truth than one to reveal it. Next we were informed that a military force was to be sent forthwith from Wushlugtou to unite w ith the military force already in Georgia for the suppression of a domestic insurrection too extensive and formidable to bo suppressed by other means. This, although monstrously ab surd, was put forth In a shape to couunaua pub lic belief, and, for aught we know, the troops have been or will bo sent. Aud we may well ask what, w lion they get to Georgia, tho com bined urmy will do. In what part of the State is the domestic Insurrection? How is it making itself manifest? What acts of open violence are committed? What offenders cau bo Identified? What sign of outbreak Is visible that the civil goveruiucut, executive, legislative, aud judicial, Is powerless to put down? How and where must the grand army commence work, and in what manner carry 'it on? Will It march suc cessively to tho twospots where Alklns andAyer were killed, draw up in line of battle, and plant Its cannon by way of entering upon an investiga tion? And." If a suspected Democrat shall be pointed out to the commander, w 111 all the blir guns be trained on nun to put nun uown or queu him as a domestic lnsurrectloni" There Is not a more quiet Stato In tho Union than Georgia. A few murders aro committed there, as everywhere else, but not a tenth part so many as In New York. All the civil functions of the State are performed without opposition and without complaint. If the perpetrator of a crimo is discovered, he is arrested, tried, and punished, as lie would have been ten years ago. No Mate or r caerai law is oosirucieu, no civu or military oilicer Is resisted. the outcry ngainst Georgia is raised for political purposes, and for no other. And those purposes, we pre sume, will be temporarily successful, though the Federal Government seems to hesitate, as well it may, iu regard to the mode of accomplishing them.
