V Aud what Protestant has not often won. dered nt the blind adherence to Papal dog mas, and an unresisting acquiescence to the bloody edicts which proceeded from tho Ro man hierarchy, during the long-night of dark new and superstition which followed the first bold assumption of I'npul supremacy by liofiiface III., who received hi install ment at the hand of the bloody Phocas, A. D. 000. History affords almost innumerable in stance of the rise, progress, and downfall of powers, political aud ecclesiastical, and sometimes politico-et-ecclesini)tico,which are almost invariubly represented by inspired writers as "boasts." These beast or pow crs, 110 matter how hideous, deformed, and terrible, no matter bow much of the "enrth, earthy," or whether they carry the brand and enr-marks that show them to belong to the owner of Daniel's "Sea Monster," their legitimate siro, there always has been in ev ery ago, nation, and clime, a blind, infatua. ted rabble, ready to rally around them, off hats nnd shoes, and nt the instigation of the high priests of the proper temple, drown the voico of opposing Reason, with long and loud hosannas to their horned object of ad oration; No matter what may have been the origin or character of the beast, so he be labeled with a charming name, and have emblazoned upon his iron sides some divine pedigree, which atteudant bawling priests, witii frothy mouths and bloodshot eyes,' are over intent upon eulogizing, and calling tho attt-ution of the gaping crowd to; if the name bo symphonious, and .suggestive of our Union asunder, and the rc-fueal of such men at Toucey to listen to the instructions of tboir constituent, who desired the reato ration of this solemn compact, between the North andSuuth, has been eulogized as democracy in Oregon, whilst throughout the whole line of the Northern Slates, the democracy have rightly pronounced it anli democratic and a murpation of power by ucb pigmies a Toucey, which is unpardon Cclrbrattoa.
