It is stated that some the strongest and most influential men of th Church are opposed to Mr. Cheevcr' course, and the end doubtless will be, as it always is in these cases, the dismissal of the clerical politician, or the dismemberment of the Church.

Indeed, they have been deJendcd and justincd. Volittcal paKMon have blinded the people to their interests, their duty and their obligation to the laws, to the couutry and to justice. There has been a deposition to foigct these infamous events, to pas over without an effort to inquire into the fact and vindicate the law, to patch op a hollow truce between the roobocrary and the authorities, to close the wounds without healing them. The inevitable effects of this cowardly policy are exhibited in the terrible scene which have, during the last week, disgraced that city. Vnpunishcd murder and violence are ever sure to repeat their deeds.
