CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY- NO. 10.
If tho printer will have patience with
me, I will try and finish what 1
have to say on this subject in
three or four woeks. Bv that time the
fall elections will call foi more space to
be devoted to politics, and religion must
retire.
We have considered briefly several
fundamental doctrines of the Christian
iolij?ion : that God is One Being, etcr.
ual, 8o)f-existcut, unchangeable, infinite.
wise,
holy, holy, benevolent, just and
true, subsisting mysteriously in three
persons, the Father, tho,. Son, and the
Holy spirit ; that God created man in
His own imago, intellectual and moral :
that man fell from that happy condition
o! innocence and righteousness by trans,
pressing the divine coirjand,--by
which transgression not ouly our first
parents, Adam and Eve, but their pos.
terity, in the natural order, became sin
ful and mortal Ly nature sinful and
mortal, enemies to God and obnoxious to
i.tn ;t . al x ..i.'u
wrath,' Uph. a, 3 j ) that God did not
leave mankind to suffer without hope
tho penalty of sin, but in the greatness
cf his mercy provided a way of escape
gave his own Son to die, the just for the
unjust, that those who could never ob
tain justification by their own works
might be "justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus; that God now commands
all men everywhere to repent and be
lieve the gospel, offering full and free
forgiveness to all who believe in Jesus ;
that strange to relate ! man (and
every man) is by nature so depraved, so
fast to goodness, that ho doeg net wish
to return to God nay, ho will not
come to Christ for salvation, though
convinced that he must perish forever
without it, so that, notwithstanding the
abundant provision for all ineu, uoue
would be saved had not diviuc mercy
done something more. I think we had
arrived about to this point, namely, tie
ii' trssift of rryeneration, before our last
interruption. The reason of this neces
sity is the nnwillingncss of men to accept
the unspeakablo gift of eternal life ;
which unwillingness is ot so interior and
vital a character that it creates an iua
h'tllty to come to Christ. " You ivil not
come to mo that you may have life."
John 5, 40. " No man can come to
mc, except the Father who hath sent
mc, draw him." John G, 4t. Connect
ing these two thoughts Christ asks
(";, -11) " How can you believe who ae
ccpt glory ono from another : and the
glory which is from God alone, you do
not seek 7 J he Jews were m such a
tutc of mind that they runhl uot be
lieve, and this was not peculiar to the
Jews but common to all of our fullon
i ace. Paul declares the same ihint?.
Kph. H, " For by t?raco you arc Raved
through lailh, and that not of yourselves,
lor it is the "lit ol God. halvation is
freely offered to every one that believes
in Christ ; but this lidicvtnj, this faith,
is " thopftof God."
lho unbeliever will then say, "How
can I be guilty for not believing, if 1
cannot believe till it is inven me from
above 7 " The answei is plain ; your
inability arises from tho pervereeness of
your owu will, the depravity of youv own
heart, i here is no comnulnwn in the
matter ; yet there is a necessity that you
continue in unbelief until you are born
flC-iiii, because iu your own heart there
is such a deep seated enmity aonnnt
O od that yon cannot come to Christ.
It surely cannot be a justification for
continued impenitence that one is so far
gone in sin that he cannot repeut ; that
lie hated God so mucn that he cannot
turn and love him ! Yet this is the sad
condition of all men by nature, He alone
excepted who was God as well as man
and though born of a woman was born
without sin. Hence the uecossity of
regeneration, which s variously spoken
of as a new birth, the drawing of the
Father, being railed (effectually) by the
Spirit, beiug created uueto in Christ

Itadical Incendiarism in Tcancsset.
Tho New York Herald of tho 18th
contains a letter from Memphia, Ten
nessee, from which we take tho follow,
itig description of affairs in the State
ruled by Rrownlow,
An cjtensive correspondence with
every section of this State enables mo to
speak confidently as to tho extent of the
mischief ah cady accomplished by the
Radicals of Tennessee. Loyal leagues
and other still more nefarious orgauiza.
lions havo been established among the
negroes, who are being educated in the
belief that os soon as tho Legislature
meets steps will bo taken to accomplish
for them such division of tho private
propcrity of their opponents as will com
pensate them for their years of slavery.
An-old idpa of the negro that at some
iuturo day ho is to rule bore as master j
has been revived, and the present is sug
gested as the time to meet which God
permitted their ancestors to bo exported
from Africa. They are told that Lincoln
was murdered by direct instigation of
tho Almighty, who knew that he was
about to fail in successfully establishing
the day of jubilee. Their emancipation
was but part payment of the immense
debt owing to them by the whito people.
They firmlp believe tha'. to complete the
work and discharge that debt the politi
cal mastership must be theirs, to the ex.
elusion forever of their old masters.
They firmly believe that nothing short
of a complete turning of the tables will
put them in position to make good to
themselves and their generations auc
cccding forever a monopoly of the good
things of a land that once flowed with
milk and honey. To accomplish this
and they will be satisfied with nothing
short their white leaders instruct these
poor, ignorant, irresponsible creatures in
tho manual of arms and school of a sol
dier, in preparation for a possible failuro
at tho ballot box that must bo reversed
by tho cartridge box.
Everywhere in Tennessee there is ap
prehension of trouble with the negro,
and whole families are going noith,
fearing a riot on election day. I hear
of men iu ail the towns and villages, na
tive conservatives, who ore preparing
for such an event as that of Fraukliu,
sending their families north and arm
ing 1 and unless th.e President intervenes
the .strong arm of tho military power of
-
mo rcpuonc mere is uu roomier aouuv
that such a carnage awaits the coming of
election day as will startle even the tools
ot radicalism it it does not auord them
such an end as tLey used to covet for
Jctt Davis. This is about the animus of
the contending parties in the State. As
they are here, so they are in all the other
once Confederate States. Passion rules
tho hour and Jiisrcprcscntation is the
stock is trade. of the politicians -who run
on the side of so-called loyalty.
Office, office, office ! is the cry of those
Radicals, who comprise the very worst
elements of the population. They have
not only secured all the offices exibting
at tho time ot their advent here, and
which it, the better days of the Common,
wealth were all-sufficient for the public
welfare, but they have created others of
fatteniug emoluments for the support of
which the trade and commerce of the
State is taxed well nigh out of existence
Murders they commit with impunity.
As in the palmy days of the church, Had.
icalism has erected a refuge in whioh its
culprits are safe from tlie vengeance of
the law. Thefts they commit every day,
which being charged as only minor of
fences, arcslurrcd over as of no moment,
and " certainly not to be discussed when
party unity i.s so necessary."

It is these Indians that in 1857 made

A Well-informed Lawmaker.
Zach. Chandler, United States Senas
tor from Michigan, made a speech to
the Senate ou Friday last, justifying and
glorifying the shooting of Maximilian
in Mexico. This is the same bloodthirsty
individual who besought tho Governor
of Michigan to appoint anti. compromise
delegates to tho Peace Convention at
Washington and expressed tho opinion
that " the Union would not bo worth u
ru9h without n littlo blood letting." He
is still for blood-letting lie appears to
be as ignorant aa he is sanguinary. The
New York Tribune expose his ignor
ahco in the following drily caustic een
tenco : " We reckon that Mr. Chandler
erred in telling the Seuate repeatedly
and emphatically that a eon of Henry
Clay was garrotcd iu Cuba as a filibus
ter." We reckon he did ! He had
probably heard that a son of Henry
Ulay was killed as he lay wounded on
the battle-field of Buena Vim by the
same Mexican " greasers " who shot
Mazimilian, and in his ignorencc ot
geography he supposed Ruena Vista was
in Cuba 1 Of such stuff are Radical
lawmakers made. Lancaster Weekly
Intelligencer,
In the case of Surratt, on the 27th,
Judzc r isher ruled to let stand as evi
dence against the prisoner the testimony
about the attack upon tho Vice-President
and Secretary Seward, and also
that relating to shooting Union soldiers
escaping from rebc? prisons, &o. He
considered these things partot aceneral
and preconccutratcd plan to murder the
l residont and overthrow the uovern
ment. Fisher seems determined to
make himself worthy of the position to
which he was appointed through parti
san motives. It will bo remembered
that afewyearsago, tho Rump Congress
finding no other method of " loyaltting"
the District Court, repealed the act
creating tho court, and then made
now act. under which lusher and two
other Radical politicians were appoint
ed by Lincoln. Ihey are of a piece
with Underwood the modern Jcnreys.
Both candidates for Supreme Judge

ot these are a supernumerary tax upon
