The Liverpool Mercury publishes a tab
ular statement of the relative strength of

that. 'at the dissolution of Parliament,, last

The election has given to Sir R. Peel a

For Conservative objects, or for 'practical

strong government; but for.evil, opposed
to opinion, he is powerless. We do, not
say that bad measures cannot be car ried;.
Tor bad measures are often not unpopular:

it might not lead to his early expulsionfrotri'
office, unless'unpopular enough, to encour..
age the Queen to dismiss him, it would - r&

AN 1-10NOIMBI;E OPPONENT. •
We`copy the following extract from a
letter in the Delphi (Ind.) Express, written
by Mr Samuel Malroy, late Indian Agent.
What a severe rebuke it is to those Who'are
:raisin the eryof '!proscription" and whin
ing over the loss of office. Mr. Milroy
talks like a man. We like to deal With
such opponents. After quoting extract
froth tholetter, informing him o his remo
val, he says--" Prom the above the public
will 'oe apprised . that I am no longer Indian
Agent; those having
„business with the
Agency wilt apply to Mr. Hamilton, Fort
• Wayne. ~As to the appointment I would
remark it is a judicious one, and will be.
satisfactory to the Indians. Ai to being
superseded; allow me to remark, that I net.'
ther,desired nor expected to be continued
in The agency, nor do Iconsider it injustice
to have to give, place to - the friends of the
administration.. It is but reasonable to ex
pect they would call on their friends to - aid
in carrying out the public.. service. I ticas
not one of thoseftiends, and had.no claims
to favor: Being
.stiperseded I deem . rather
a compliment than an injury, as it presup
poses that I was one who would not change
politidal opinions for the sake. of being'con
tinned in office ;• those who would are un
'worthy of favor froM:any administration."

not, one can-readily imagine, that discretion
and candor should have dictated 'a different
course.
As it regards the quoted verses of that
chapter, which is a portion of the recapitu
lation of the Law, concerning clean and
unclean animals published to tholsrael
ita; when about to enterllth promised land,
it is
.well known to. all persons acquainted
with 'the 'Old Testament Scriptures, that
'there wore many laws,, customs and rites,
ordained tinder .the different dispensations
or the-world,- which totally-changed'
froth tune to lime: And at the advent of
'our. Savior the "visible. Author" and Me
' diator of the present glorious dispensation
all Were entirely abolished, excepting tom!
Moral Law, the foundation of the law .and
precepts of the Geapel. Your. correspon
dent will see in that same chapter, that
swine's flesh was forbidden, .because -it
" divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the
cud;" yet does. he not cat of it, do not all
Christians anew the use.of it?
' Polygamy was practised by the Patri
archs, and was. "suffered by Moses" as
saith our Saviour, and the- custom is yet
continued by the Eastern nations and tribes,
not christians. But who would 'deny that
It is positively forbidden by'. the spirit-and
the law of the Gospel.- And in the same
dispensation a married man was permitted,-
' he being his own Judge, to repudiate his,
wife by merely giving her a bill of divoice . ;
was such a license allowed by our Saviour?
We need not stop fortreply. •
• It is no where' seen in the instructions
Christ to his disciples' that, he prohibited : ,
slavery—and the inspired apostle enjoins
and 'admonishes " Servants to be obedient')
to their maeters,according to the flesh— , not)
with eyeserViee as men pleasers, but as
the servants of Christ doing. the will of God,
from the heart." Atid yet it is aeknowledg-,

the Redeemer. •
