points of contact; that the incessant strife of opinion which has long marked out the oar e and character of Cromwel! as legiti- mate battlexground in English history, has not yet subside}; and that the continued accumuiation of material for doing justice to the Protectorate, invests that period with all the freshness and interest of a now chapter in history. The lecturer then spoke of the lineage and birth of Crom, well, _showing that he was descended from x line of able men, and was ascion of the roval raca of Stuart.

times in which Cromwell’s public career |

was begun were then pourtrayed. The lecturer showed that the extreme meas ures of Cromwell and his associates led to the organization of a ‘ Royalist Party.” Liw-loving men, shrinking from revolu~ tionary movement, rallied round the throne; while those who prized the liber- ties of England more than aii else, hsid by the leaders of the Parliament From that disruption, in the Long Parlia ment, dates organized political party which, under various names, Royalist and Round- hezd, Tory and Whig. Conservative and Liberal, has preserved the balance of Par- liameutary power, and proved of great and signal advantage in the dispatch of public business, both in Imperial and Colonia! legislation. To the same period we trace back the two great classess, Cavalier and Puritan, into which the nation was long di- vided. Oa both sides were men little bet- ter than caricatures of the great body to which they belonged: the biustering, bois- terous. heartless Cavalier, and the solemn, praise God.bare-bones Puritan. And in either rank, at the other extreme, were ine like the accomplished patriot Hamp- den and the chivalrous Royalist Falkland

who closely resembled each other, and |

who, by wisdom and moderation, com- minding ability and unimpeachable ins tegrity, inspired the nation, irrespective of sect or party, with esteem and confidence. The stamina and strength of the royal ciuse were in brave, thoughtful, loyal men, who clung and clave to the order of the olden time; and who fought and fell for Church and State, for throne and altar, for hearth and roof-tree, and for the glorious banner beneath which their fathers lad marched to battle and to victory. And Puritans of the genuine stamp, of the cast and calibre of Oliver Cromwell and his compeers, were grani and noble men— crim, strong, sagecious, inflexib'e—fearing nothing but God, penetrated to self-abase. ment by the consciousness of a Divine Presence, and holding lightly in compar ison ail lesser and lower distinctions. ‘‘If,” according t> the eulogy of the brilliant ea- sayist, which forms one of the finest paa- sages io English literature, “ their names were notin the register of heralds; they were written in the Book of Life. If their steps were not accompanied by a splendid train of menials, legions of ministering spirits them. palaces were houses not made with hands und their diadems were crowns of glory that should not fade away. On the rich and the eloquent, on nobles and priests, they looked with contempt; for they

They trusted in God and relied on their pikes, ‘' Arm- ed within,” says Whitelocke, ‘* with their good conscience, and without by their good iron arms, they wuld to a map stand firmly and charge desperately. They were never surpassed as pikemars and they were equally gifted in exposition of the word and prayer. In disciplined culture and resolute firmness, they closely resembled the Prussian levies of the present time. The lecturer concluded by saying that the work of Cromwell, and the men of his time, was so complete, that eyer since the British nation has been saved from the necessity of revolutionary struggle. Nordo we see any sign of na- tional degeneracy. More magnificant than Babylon of old, more intellectual than Greece in her palmiest days, more powers ful than imperial Rome, foremost of mod- ern States in all that constitutes the great- ness of kingdoms, the old Spanish boast is with her, soler truth, for on her vast do: main the sun never sets. Great and vic. torious in war, greater and more potent in the rivalries of peace—with vastly aug-) mented material sources, an intelligent and powerful press, more powerful in this age than the artillery of kings, constitu- tional government, the sheltering eegis of venerated law, sacred truth as a vital con- servative and progressive element, —

De Welche, the proposed Minister of the Interior, is very intelligent and energetic man of the world. At the late election for Deputies he was beaten at Nancy by a majority of 6.000. He may be called partly Monarchial, and partly Bo~ napartist. M. DePeyne, the proposed Minister of Justice, is an ex-Minister of Justice, and at present three years Senator for Lut, is a Catholic, Legitimist, and an energetic man; very foniof power, and never having ceased to aspire to it. Cons ciliitory measures are not those ho is most likely to defend. The Marquis de Baune- ville, the proposed Minister of foreign Afs fairs. wag Ambassador under the Empire at Vienna. He is a man of great eX» perience, amiable and extensive in diplo- matic knowledg», is a moderate Bonapar.- tixt. Deputy de Lome, proposed Msnis- ter of Commerce, is a celebrated marine engineer and a modera’e Bonapartist.

Pouyer Quertier, proposed Minister of Finance, is at prasent & six years Senator for Seine. He is a pro- tectionist and belonged, as regards polis tical opinions in the first place, to Conser- vative party, and he may be called Legitis mist-Bonapartist, lt is uncertain whether Gen.

gpaex~ We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of Corres pondents,

fo the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—One of the very meanest and most contemptivle insinuations which could emanate from the pen of even the editor of the Patriot—a man who himself makes no pretension to belief in any revealed re- ligion—appears in the Patriot of yesterday over the assumed name ‘: [nquirer.”

Because in your paper, Mr. Editor, you spoke favorably of an esteemed Missionary of the Catholic Church, whose labors ia this city during the past two weeks can. not fail to be promotive of the greatest good—a man, too, whose eloquent and thrilling appeals against the monster vice of intemperance, drew hundreds of Pro. testants as well as Catholics to the Cath. edral every day during his short stay here. Even this good man’s labors of lovefcannot receive a friendly comment in yodr independent columns without arousing the ire of the Pairiot ecribblers. Shame upon a man of H, Lawson’s preten- sions to liberalism, when he would allow himself to descend to such a mean trick as to attempt to convey the idea that the! EXaMmNER is not ‘far from Rome,” be-| cause he has the independence to give a; short review of the Mission of Father Glackmeyer,

Yours truly, A Ligexat PRrorestayt. —— To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Dear Sir,—A poor, puzzled individual, writing over the signature of Inquirer in yesterday's Patriot, wishes to know wheth- er the Examiner Company “ have become Father Glackmeyer’s converts.’’ Unfor- tunately, | fear there is no such hope for you ; for it is wellxknown that a corpora- tion has ‘no body to be kicked, or sou! to be saved,’ and, consequently, is net a subject for the grace of conversion.

* [nquirer”’ proceeds to give an extract from one of your articles that the /’atriot’s readers ‘‘ may judge how near the Exam< iver is to Rome.’’ And here I| assure him, in all seriousness, that be has made another mistake. A newspaper cannot join a Church—at least it cannot join the Church of Rome,

I have carefully looked over the /tituale and Poniifical Romanum, and | have been unable to find any *‘ office’ for the admiss sion of a newspaper as a member of the Catholic Church.

_ Yours truly, An Amusep Reapgr,

Tc the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Dear Sir,—“‘Ingnirer’ in the Palriol has italicised some words from one of your leaders; you remarked that a particular ser mon was avery eloquent one. The sub staace of that disconrse must have been repulsive to ** Inquirer,” evidently making him feel that your judgment on the elo- quence and the English of the preacher inust be leading your company Romewards. Let us laugh. Comment is uscless.
