League is a defunct concern; anti exists
only in name. The " committee" are
a rickety crowd of copperheads, who
would allow themselves iu this or any

even to signing their names to a false

to advocate and sign a PROHIBITORY
tatißalt LAW, in the event of his re-elec
tion.. Tbe proof of this is too positive
to admitof a doubt. • .
The :temperance fanatics are also
working quietly but dexterously to
secure enough prohibitory men in the
Lt_lzislature to puss such a bill,
' -Forewarned--;Forearrned. Th-3 hour
has come for the friends of Liberty to
rouse themselves to action. Our prin- cdples—our rights—opr interests—the
very bread of our families are at stake.
The League strongly urges that time
ly action be taken to counteract this
base, attempt to subvert the liberties of
the people and the character of our free
institutions.' GOVERNOR GEARY
MUST BE DEFEATED as every
hazard. The - prohibitory candidates
for the legislature must share the same
fate, NO MATTER TO WHAT POLITICAL
ORGA.NI.44TION THEY'MA.Y BELONG.—
Party considerations sink into insignifi
cance when issues of such immediate
importance to all are involved.
Call a STRICTLY PRIVATE meeting of
our friends IMMEDIATELY, and lose no
time in arranging the most effective

Don Platt principles are intangible and

much at heart to seekipreferaien t which
would disable him from his work as ed

he is intended for. The people do not.
readily recognize so disinterested a

the act, but the pluck of the man has
now, as ever, our highest admiration.
TEM INFALLIBLE.
God is infallible, and none beside.—
No mere man• ever yet dwelt on this
round earth not liable to err ; and it is
not risking much to say th%t no man
will ever nearer' approach his Maker in
infallibility than he does in Otnnipo
.
tenon.
Yet we suppose one of the results of
(Ecumenical • Council called by. the
Pope, will be the - promulgation of a
new dogma—the infallibility of the
Bead of the Roman Churc e h. The Idea
is not new, by any means. Infallibili
ty has been claimed for him for cou
nries. But somehow the claim has not
been satisfactorily allowed, It is fash-
ionable to scout th,e idea of such an as
sumption by a human being. Did not
the dogma of the Immaculate Concep
tion provoke the derision of the Prot
estant world? Net, is it not an estab-
lished fact in that church ? It will not
do to depend too much upon the en
lightenment of the 19th century foi
protection against such irregularities
and abuses. The exact limit of human
presum ption* is not known.
We are not among those who deny tc.
the Church of Rome credit for a fah
share of the amelioration of the condi
tion of mankind. "Her missionaries
have assisted to diffuse civiliiation
widely. But it is a somber-hued civ
ilization, a timid, half-repenting, halt;
ing march forward. Their efforts haysi
been put forth to spur barbarians up td
a certain point of progress, and then
shut down upon their budding minds a
dead weight of forms and superstitions;
Perhaps this is better than nothing,
better than barbarism ; but it is not so
much better as it obght.-to be. But the
missionaries of the Protestant churches
cannot, we suspect, escape the same
censure in some degree.. Quantity,
rather than quality, of conversions
being the btirden of the annual reports.
However, it is not a part of our pur
pose to enter upon a criticism of mis
sionary work.
Unquestionhbly there has been a
drifting away from the old anchorage of
" authority;" in progress for several
years. Churches . themselves have be
come liberalized in many respects, not
always touching the essentials of doc
trine, but , commonly as regards those
matters about which men may safely
agree to disagree. We _ do not count
every breaking down of barriers as
progress ; ut the cessation of quarrel
over technical points is assuredly a
great gain, and may reckoned into the
Irtand aggregate of religlowt prepre.-s.

tical' walls do ziolt shut - out heresies,
and dangerous ones. What more dan
gerous heresy can ',there be than that
which inheres rjthe axiom: "The
end sanctifies the means 2" Or that
insolent assumption which puts any
man's conscience into the keeping of
another man ? Or that flippant substi—
tution of lip-service for a pure life?—
Or that circumscribing of worship with

ho whose heart is made glad and ten
der by communion with the beautieS_
and wonders of nature—God's work—
worships in his inmost soul ? Yet these
heresies exist in Protestant as well as
In Roman churches. . .
. And this is not to say that forms of
worship are all evil. Rather, it is
olaiming for those who recognize other,
and uncanonical forms, the right to en
joy them in their own way. We see
that all men cannot " see Godin clouds,
W
or hear him in the wind." e also
pee that many things deemed essential
in modern worship are as usks to
many men and women. We could not,
at any time, nor is it likely at any time
to come, that we can, see aught attrac
tive in the forms of worship observed
in Romish churches. No more do we
admire the dilute forrin ,vogue at St.
Albans. But as other people delight jn
either, or both, we would not consign
them to perdition therefore. At most,
we only claim to exercise the inaliena
b ht of criticism and dissent. The
forms o protestant denothinations
have become s ereotyped by often use.
But their comparative freedom froM
pomp is all in their favor. The Metho
dist who responds with an " Amen," or
other ejaculatiOn, to the sentiments of
a.prayer or exhortation, often becomes
as much a formalist as he who finds
his "amens" printed in his prayer
book. So, we may see, if we choose,
that the charge of formalism lies against
all denominations, differing only in de
gree and elaborateness.
That the Council about to be con
vened in Rome will establish the " in
fallibility" dogma we may presume as
a fact. We say, establish it ; we mean
thatall good Catholics :will be required
to admit it as fact. Of course the ad
mission will not be expected of the dis
senting world, nor, thanks to progress,
can it be enforced. But must we not
look for a new contempt for authority
as growing out of, the attempt to put a
mere man in the place of the Almighty?
In resisting'this glaring pretence will
not the protestant world lose that
healthy respect for niithnrits , whtnh
preserves from anarchy ? Not entirely,
perhaps, but measurably?
How many men of intelligence_and
of sound mind believe infallibility pos
sible to man? Not one. And every
man of common sense 'will discover the
utter pretence of the assumption, and
so lose all respect for ecclesiastical au
thority.- Let the world once understand
that bishops convene to delude the
masses, and, it seems to us, the end of
Rome is at hand. The revolt is what
we regard with most anxiety ; for a re
volt against authority is oftener with
out reason in ice progress than in its
inception. '
The heart of the civilized world will
experience a great throb of satisfaction
at the news of the safety of Dr. Liv

the savage tribes, it seems that he has
been accumulating a great fund of go.'

A COURAGEOUS WOMAN.—The Lew
iston Evening Journal gives the follow
ing account of the heroic conduct of a
lady in Mexico, Maine, Mrs. Mary Blatt
eford. She was sitting by her kitchen
tire a few evenings since when a men
disguised with al turned coat and cap
pulled over his face, rudely entered her
house and accosted her demanding
she was alone, and in the' same breath
saying that her husband and son were
away, and telling him where they had
gone. 'I want what money there is; in
tht4 house,' hecontinued. "There isn't
a cent hen* retorted Mrs. B. 'But' I
know there is, said the rogue, sand i
must have it.' Just at that moment
the noise of a horse and carriage was
heard, and the villain took to his heehi.
The team was driven on and did not
stop—Which facts discovered, the scouu
drel returned. Meantime Mrs. IL had
fastened the doors, and the rogue. al).
peared before one of the windows,
which he attempted to raise.
Don't you dare get in at that, win
dow,' said the plucky dame uniting the
warning with an appearance of an old
rusty musket which bad been on the
shelf and hadn't smelt power for twenty
years. `l'll blow your brains out if you
come inside this house.' This dash of
womanly courage, and the threatening
appearance of things generally, daunted
the dastardly wretch, who took to his
heels. The old gun did just as good
serviee as if it had been loaded to the
muzzle.

IS a soothing
m a • pared to meet the urgent need
of a safe and reliable cure fur
diseases of the throat and lungs.
A trio of many years has establiabed the fart, that it
le more efficacious In pulmonary affections, than any
other remedy. Its efficacy has now become so gen
erally known that it is Justly regarded in Many coon.
tries as a medicine of indispensable necessity. In Great
Britain. Prance, and Germany, where Medical science
has reached its highest perfection, it is prescribed in
domestic practice, and constantly used in the armies in
hospitals and other public institutions, where it is re
gared by the attending physicians as the most speedy
and agreeable remedy thatlcan be employed. Scarcely
any neighborhood can be - found where well known
cases of diseesed lungs, *Melt bad baffled the efforts of
the Meet skillfhl and erpetlenced doctors have been
completely cure d by it, onesto results are the most
oonvincing proofs of the enperior curative proverties of
this preparation; and to, them the authors point with
peculiar satisfaction. While it inmost powerful against
confirmed diseases, it is extremely gentle as almodicine
in infancy and youth, being quite harmlose to even the
youngest, when administered judiciously. - •
This health restorer accomplishes even more by pre
vention than care. If taken in season, it tie all irri
tations of the throat and lungs, whether rising front
Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus pre
vent that long train of painful and incurable diseases,
which would arise from the neglect of them. Bence
no family should be without it. Influenza Croup,
Hoarseness, Whooping Cough, Pleurisy, incip ient Con
sumption. and other affections of the breathing organs,
give way before the pre.eminent combination of medi
cal virtues.
