For the AbVoCAra.
Mr. Editor to are well aware
that eonw very important, proud and
sell'-cooceited personage is of late occu
pying the columM of the Democrat
giving veottoand feeding it with, his
thoughts under the assumed onme of
''Senex" which, were he wise, be would
have kept to himself and prevented
their occurrence. I say he is proud and
conceited though I havi nerer bad the
honor of his acquaintance or eveo of
glaociog at his great personage to its
utmost pitch of greatness do doubt,
when he promenades your streets bm I
hope I shall, ere he "shuffiVs off this
mortal coil." I say it aim ply judging
from the tone of his letter. Mr. Editor,
these letters of hie together with au
swers of some few correspondents have
been -hitherto carried on to tbe columns
of the Democrat, till in a late issue its
Edicor announced that no review on
"Senex" would eet tdtuissiou to its
pages. This certainly was unja.it and
partial n the part of its Managers;
whether intentionaly, or otherwise, cun
tiot be said. The conclusion is plaio,
however, viz: it intentional it wta crim
inal, not intentional, it wss a blunder,
and hakespear says, "a blunder is
worse thau a crime." This "Senex"
was Srst to cast the stone in a ptneral
manner, aud uirder 00 consideration
should he hare the last throw, lie de
votee most of his last vile production to
my letter, the only one I wrote on tbe
matter, and Mr. Democrat allows me
no place to reply. In doi ng so Ire has
acted dishonorable, and 'Btij n-t, conse
quently you, Mr. Ed. Advocate, are
perlectly at liberty to do under su:h
"ircuuistancos, what fce reluses to.
This "Senex" also gives vent to the
fact that he visited the taiKttn of the
Democrat for tiro purpose of reaving au
answer 10 "Constant reader," but on
hearing that "Header" had already sent
.'your Democrat another ktter, and a
long-nosed, meddlesome, something. etc ,
had also presented an article we de
clined to give you the artiele above
mentioned." One weald naturally con
clude he got his information at the
Dan crat office, hnd on advice, to hold
back and let all these hulls go off to
gether with the announecttTent given
above, and that next week he could
have ell to himself, eo -.Senex" did tafce
advantage of the chance g.ven by the
Democrat' announcement and abuses
away in hopes never to yet a blow again.
He evfiii f. ins hints to you Mr. Ed. of
Advocatk not to priut what the Demo
crat refused. "Stnex" was evidently
a'raid ol n answer, aud mean enough
to take all advantages, went on with his
p rsotnil alme while he was encouraged
by the thought that there vcas no chance
oi l reply. Hut the goi-d Advocate
has not dune as "Senex expected aod
has given ro m for a rejoinder. "Senex"
thought tbete was no wore c(ince of
getting alter hiiu so he lurks away at
all oWsidc. The fact is he got into a
bad hcrape and had to adoft some such
mean trick fo get out; but you are not
out of danger yet '-Stiiex," eveo though
protected by the Democrat t Wings.
I have said he cast the Btone in a gen
eral manner though he has the braemi
eftioutery, iu bis last, to assert the con
trary; that it was a personal affair be
tween him and "Reader.' Let the pub
lie read his first letter and judge
whether it is iu general or particular
terms. If intended for any particular
party why say "liidgway is full of re
ligious factious each trying to proselyte
from each other, church is trying to draw
from church ilabbaih School from Sab
bath School," was not that a general
attack, aud why, you craty maniac have
you the boldness to say iu your last pro
duction, ''the opposing parties have been
exceedingly selfish indeed, not only in
refusing to allow the controversy begun
by "Header" and vour humble servant
to be fought out by us singly, but," eto
(?) You are a regular flunky of flunkyj
ism.- First, iu "Thoughts as they occur'
you take yourvicw from a general stand
poiut, when attacked you laka narrow
gauge and are mean enough to descend
to personalities But no doubt these
thoughts of yours are the product of a
raving,delirious mind; you take in about
five or six subjects in your first letter
any one of which was certainly enough
for a man whose mind waa of euch a
small calibre as yours; you took in Sun
day Schools, then said something on
proselyting, alterwards gave us your
childish reason for the necessity of many
churches; on any one of thess points
you left yourself open to an attack on
any aide, yet when pursued you cry out
I only meant Header." When at
tacked on other points as advanced by
him he w:M not try to defend but intro
duce a new subject altogether. In his
last he is to be found barpiog on indul
gences, ai d the Spanish Inquisition
That is bis wsy when attacked on bis
old doctrines he will jump to something
new. I would wish Mr. "Senex" you
would take only one subject and keep
to it till vanquished, them take new
one. Keep, if you will, to your first let
ter 00 the necessity of many churches, or
acknowledge you are conquered there,
and take either the Spaniab Inquisition,
or Indulgence lor yor next. As you
jump around now from one subject to
another, I pitv tbe persou who tries to
follow and review your thoughts. Be
lieve ire your thoughts are not much
aod to save yourself from the ridicule
aod contempt of all, and the public
Irom tbe pain of reading your sickening
productions, for God's sake quit writiug
your thoughts. Do wel annoy s by
bubbling forth, in its crude state as it
lights ou the d sordered inaobioery ot
your enreted b win. "Think thrice be
fore you spet once," and think well on
it, aud digest each thought carefully;
you are too loud of aeeiog your produc
tions io print, and this together with the
faot that you imagine you are very
smart, kills you; get over theae ideas
and have sense. I just imagine yu
isaokifig a cigar, one foot over the other,
and reading one of your best produo-1
tiows, Uoa tiicss tbe tuark, in the Demo
crat, what a smile of complacency! poor
tool! little he knows how many are
laughiog at him at the same time. If you
have not much to occupy your tiwe for
the winter, the best you can do is to
confine youri-elf to your room, and jour,
tlit,uglit8 to the limited space of yeur
crauiuni, this believe tate, better than
strutting up and down the streets ol
Kidgway or driving through the sui
toundiug country, cox-comb like, put
ting on 11 the airs f a country wag
and puffed up with the idea Of your
uwu importance to audi a degree that
you think yourself tbe greatest mau
lutelicotually, aud otherwise, in towu.
As above ttatevl there is uo such thing
tr reviewing auj thing ou, "Seuex,:"
scribles, every line aimost involve a
new subject. That the church is one
is a subject 00 which could be written
volumes. The Inquisition and Indul
gence are subjects on whioh historians
aud theologians have been considerably
puzzled to account lor; yet Mr. "Senex"
takes all in io a few lines; uo matter ou
what he commences to write it is hard
to tell how be will ead. There will be
very little connection betweeu the con
clusion aud the premises, lu the present
case he commenced ou sahbath schools
and ended with Inquisition. As is de
lirious or mad, and pity the reviewers of
his disconnected thoughts. He has ad
vanced the Inquisition agaiost me
though it has nothing ut all to da with
the question at issue In reply 1 dety
that the Homao churclt persecuted
auyoue. According to the principles re
Sgulating a iicu.-ewd ou any thesis such
is my duty when in truth it cao be done,
und it is your plase to proved lo prove
your statements, and I will be in due
time alter you But you must keep to
the question soley, und not take in a
hundred subjects iu a general way;
your allusion to indulgence is a vile
lying calumny o! a foul-mouthed igaort
aim. Indulgences are for sale, lo be
purchased by severe penances; such is
exclusively their price tiow as always.
This "Senex" in Aes a desperate tffjrt
to get over my proofs agaio.-t the idea
ul aey churcbee in a style childish,
though be ealls it deeply syllogisncal.
Here is a specimen of his syllogistic
power; an ass has two ears two eyes a
nose aud no brains but "Senex" has
two ears, two eyes, a nose and uo brains
-ergo-draw your own conclusion. But
there caunut be much expected from
such a crazzed, rambling mind a
"Seuex" possesses. Had I known
when I first wrote my review of bis
thoughts that he would be handled by
the honorable pens of "Reader" and
'1'uclla" I shiwld never have stained
my hauds with his shallow common
place, seribblings, the fallacious argu
ments ot which could be upset by a
school boy of twelve years, either one
of these was too much lor "Senex" as
the publio ate well aware He has
given uotie a fair, reasonable, answer.
In answering "Reader" he talks ot
boiling pots, and quibbles gcnnerally;
the pots have boiled ovor aud scalded
"Senex" badly. He hud better never
try to boil them again, though he is
fit for nothing but boiling pots iu the
literal aense. You boiled and frothed
pretty badly yourself "Senex" aod
should you continue in your strain you
will burst if you do hot set a safety
valve.
In reviewing my letter he Say s I was
showing bow I could be vulgar. "Let
the publio judge of the vulgarity of my
letter It is true, when dealing with au
unprincipled, uogentlemanly being like
you "Sentx" it ia bard to observe
propriety. How are such terms a"
those of yours to be oonsidered-"a long
nosed, meddlesome something," "a
scrofulous production" etc., tbat is bill
iugagsie style, showing, indeed, you
have got what la commonly called "a
newspaper educatiou." you -have a!
uozeu times or more quoted tbe same
words and have hem and couyht to
make up half your trashy lutltr, so thai
a person would naturally thiuk the
heavy blows on all sides gave you the
epizootic" under the influence ot which
disease your delirious ihuuglt may
bave occurred, hence your rambling,
mysterious ideas, on matters. In Lie
first letter we were treated to doses of
Latin, but iu hia La La gave up the
JUatin as lailure, aod treated a to
French-iu small Squibs, , His ihouglns
and Ideas aro what he ray's the children
of Ridgway are "CQSiMpoliteS '' I
would advise him never' to try any Ian
guage, to give up even English, for his
is bad. Allow me to Mil you Mr.
"Senex" I am familiar with the lan
guages you quote, so much so tbat I
Would as soon answer you in them as in
English, and oan plainly tell you that
in attempting these languages you make
a laughing stock of yourself; you re
mind me ot Horaces saying to the up
start scriblcrs, like you who were io his
day Scribmto, indocte doctigWt poemata
passivn," so the world was always an
noyed by fools like you "Senex." Again
your rumbling style of d iing things re
minds me of another of the poet's say
ings "Dune itultiy vitia vitaat in ton
traria currunt." Is that Mr "Senex"
good hexameter. If you scan it Tor me I
will pardon you for your many peouliar
ites. If igooraoce were bliss you
"Senex" would be the happtes man
liviug.
From the way 'Senex" quotes scrip
tures I think he must be inspired, well,
greater wonders happened, for we are
told God spake through the mouth of
Baalims' ass. "Senex" eys, himselt and
"Header" could still cross swords with
out being abusive, yes your sword
Senex" will never hurt anyone you
may cross as often as you please, and
strike as heavily as you like, do not
tear hurting anyone. Iu his last re
view of my letter "Senex" says I told
an untruth cause I caid he gave only
one fa'ct to prove the sabbath school
question and all the bigotry ot liidg
way. I new repeat that you only gave
one fact for your proofs, via: two persons
speaking on the streets on religious mat
ters, you other proofs were your owu as
sertions. Head your first letter and com
pare with the last aud couut up all the
uutrutlis you are guilty of, it you can;
you say I assume a false premises. The
fact is you canuot distinguish between a
, lac.t and au assertion; yuu have such a
faculty for getting over questiou by ly
mg and jumping trotu one subject to an
other that one would be meliued to con
sider your loyal subject ol his santubic
mnjesty-the father 01 lies-ora lineal do
sceudento' the iiupeiiiteui thief ou the
cross." "Senex" says 1 used improper
lnagusge by calling a church a yope)
thopy Well , I say again whuu a
pulpit is occupied by such a store box
scalawag as you "Senex" it tiecomes a
bouncing bench and the church a gos
pel shop and pleaching becomes blow
ing, 1 .reckon 1 was mistaken when 1
said, you attended Moody's tevivals
somewhere. Join them by all mean-, then
we will call the gospel firm "Seuex, San-
key. Moodv. & Co s, you can uo us
well ai some other gospel managers;
Dr. W'olpy tells us, speaking of the
tiny heroes of the pulpit in his days
"a lad, twelve years old, went about
the couutry preaching extempore. He
became popular aud was much ad
mired and patrouizel." I think you will
try it be tore you 've up the ghost.
It is you and those of your class, that
bring on the world such a multitude ol
preachers and the couiusion which they
generate, as the poet sayst
Each pious 'prentice free y may dispense
salvation:
Licenced uow for eighteen pence
And should devotion tempt him from his
awl.
He'll get his orders if he gets his call.
You say ''Senex" tbe word chunk is
used in the plural in "revelations," sup
pose I told you to read the Hebrew ver
siuu or any ot those versions from which
the English one is takeu, and told you
also it is translated Wi'ou, what
uuswer? I again assert it is used oulv
iu the singular uuiuber all though the
scriptures, when the subject is about
the authority aud commission ot the
church to teach the doctrines of Christ
That in Hevclatious the plural is used
in the sense ot many churches teaching
different doctrines, I deny, that it is
nsed in reterencc,plUrally,to many chur
ches teaching the same doctrine. I con.
ceed The Horn an catholic church has to
day for example, thousands of churches;
io evrey seuse--iu languaga, tone, cere
moults doctrines, etc., etc , one, us to its
number it cao be said the churches, as to
as doctrine, it cannot be used plurally.
such is the case iu Hevelatious you
give your proofs as in yotlr place
"Senex ' then 1 will teach you heruieu
eutics on that point.
Mr. Senex deoies that different de
noiuiuations teach truths easeiully dif
ferent and says, "Who ever heard of it
before." What a coofouudtd you
must be. He says all toe essentials of
christians are to "believe in God, iu
Christ as the son ot God, eto . the bible
and preaching ot it. eto." Is that all that-
is essential: ll bas been always held
that baptism was esseutial till of late,

while about as many look on it as essen

for your instruction, ' Senex," a passage
from Huditbius, a learoe d Protestant
divine, iu his episte to Beza, "what

The same oonlusioo ot opinions waa des

"wbo ever beard of it before." Behold
the igooranoe, O temporoa! 0 mores!
Mr Editor, exoue the length ot my
letter, thi Senex" liarf taken in so
many questions in his trashy letter that
it is nut easy to follow aod review hi.
rambling thoughts. In one part of hii
letnf he esvirted denominations do not
differ on vital principles, and a little
attef he says "no these above named

As to unity I have argued perfect

What ''Senex" says on it, is like bis
other assertions barefaced slauder I
repeat that the Roman church never per
secuted on account of Heiigion or in any
way. Those foul and malignant slau '
ders have been refuted long siuce by
Ciiholio and impartial Protestaut
writers people are not generally aware
of the real truth ot the B u-tholomeu
uias.-acre in Paris io 1572 and forget
that the crime lor it was a crime, wis
uot an ecclesiastical affair but wis
simply a tuatter'of worldly policy L-it
us remember that Fraueo is, aud was.
Homao Catholic and that any attempt to
overthrow cacholicy in France, where it
has flourished for 18 JO year, is useless,
yet there were men in the sixteenth cen
tury having Calvin for a leader a fierce
persecutor who gave Servetus to the
Sanies who thought they could with
their puny efforts rob this great nation
ol Catholic fuuh. Prominent anions
those trying to carry ioto execution
their wicked schemes was Admiral
Coligny Inading the way hy assailing
every Catholic in Catholic France. No
person denies that the llugueuots were
a small minority in the midst ol a catho
lic nation, yet ilcy in minority tried to
force their religion 011 a nation who
detested the teachings which culd
barren Calvinism had to offer for ac
ceptance The Luuenois were bitter
persecntors-and by no means Martyrs.
Hear what an Anti-Catholic writer iu u
liondou Proteitiint Magazine (Temple
Sir, Jitne, lo7o) admits, evidently
with reluo'anCe, on this subject; "The
Huuuenets s.iys this writer" desecrated
churches, broke roods (crosses) cast the
consecrated waters to swine. 'There
was not an atrocity the HuguenO's
spared their victims whenever they
obtaiued the uppet-hand. They kilied
children in their mothers arm-.! lh-?y
dragsied priests Up and down the streetH
by ropes at their tieoks; they Ctlt out
their tongues, tore out their eyes, sawed
them io halt made them drink boilinz
oil. dis-mb jwelled them, buried them in
the earth up to their necks and made
their heads serve as targets for the sol
diers to shoot at. M. Owen, a pnest, was
roasted aud basted alive and his flesh af
terwards cut up aud thrown to the dogs.
They eveu violated they graves, digging
up the mouldering corpses of the dead,
during a rising at Nismes, in 1567.
eighty Catholics were butchered in cold
blood." Could human nature stand all
that? Catholic France could not bear
hem longer though it patiently bore
them for years, and nov cotus the ter
rible retaliation which a'l must lameut

though not all Fiance, retaliated. But
such was nit the W'll of the church
It always laments it and condemns
such acts. The Spanish Inquisiiiou
was condemned of Popes why then say
these deeds were the church's? what
about the persecution of catholics in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth? To show
