I pro rised ort Saturday w prove to-day, that iu the

i a If aloue could be your only parallel." There lb, l am
I aware, a d-spera'ion rewmbhng courage, of which it is
| said cawarJs ate capable ; but I entertain not the slight
eet apprehension that I have mistaken the one lor the
i other. It it generally in the denier resort tint we meet
I with desperation at all. It i* the off-pring of mental
i aud physical convulsions and the inseparable companion
i ol emergencies and ex renmief. Wheu all is at stake it
performs the same cilice c virago <1 >ea in quest of tx
I citeineut, the red rust of injuries or the support cf the
| right. Now, my opiuion is, that of late you have only
boon iu quest of a little exc t.ftueul; but in thafadveu.
lure it certainly must b i admitted that you have exhib
ited a courage that it would take the desperation ol a
craven, wheu his very existence was at stake, to rival. X
Grech philosopher of eminence oec-j defined courage to

definition, the memory of Chevalier Bayard may well
tremble lor his laurels aud the star of the heroic Ooudr,
as wall as that of th i brave Merci, to whoee memory 1 a
paid so delicate and thiilliug a tribute iu the monument
he erected over his ashes, as well ns that ol the ill

I never assumed or made all to furnish a i ex suss to say

to become a public butt for the aui i* intent of the "look

thereto you do exhibit a stoioaliy heroic ind.ileronce to

your uniform habit, of never giv ug to other ineu's
a no .ignis more than a aupeiticial giam-e, you are kuighl

* balance of mankind.’’ I am now through with my a'
Ina'n, and will proceed at oneo to my prota'a, and aa
■y heirt is In a feoft mood now toward you, about your
little cripple*, I will commence on them ; aud I promise
you that wherever I lay my hands on their tender limbs
•id helpless forms, I will stndioml/ avuiif everything to
which the most sensitive parent could object. The firtt
o le I shall nolioe is one of your eldest, if not your first
birr.. It is your iptil diril that Franca and Germany
are infidel nations I plead the general iasne of, not
guilty, to this oount in your indictment, a»d did snppeso
that you would, upon reflection, (by tbo way do you ev
er do that thing—reflect ?) enter % nollt pronfui blow
your horn, (as yen are eo fend of born blowing,) sad cell
oT your dogs, Trey, Blanche, Sweetheart, and all
the reet. But that .superficial way you havo of looking
s’, matters, united with that ennobling elf-otion youchci
iah for your deformed tffiprkig, rslhes you before tbe
country to demand a trial. Well, you shall have it.—
▲id tbe first qutsJon with which I confront you is, when
were Fravce and Germany infidel nations ? There p but
oue way to aseertain, and that is from the musty tomes
ot history. O.i this issue, you boll the affirmative, and
are) bound to produoe tfio proof; and, proceeding upon
tbe presumption that yon imagiue you have done so, I
will proceed to introduce rebutting evidence. Iu tho
first place, thou, literature is tbe only outlet civilized in
fidelity bee. lLfidel* bare no churches through which
to dieeeuiinate their pernicious dogmas. So they lift the
flood-gates of the press, aud deluge the laud with essays,
poems, pamphlets and plays. Tuen wo will have to lock
into tbe history ol French and German literature, to as
certain the 11tout of tbeir infidelity. We will commence
with France. Beginning with tho middle ages, the lite
rary h is-ory of Franco mty be divided into three peri
ods: The first ezteuds from 1000 to IS0.1, and Inchides
the literature of theTroubadours and the Trouverer. If
a great infidel lived la this age, whut was bis came * If
be bad followers, how many * It was iu this age, you
must remember, sir, that tbe peo{ i i of both France aid
Germany were wrought into such a furdr of religions
enthusiasm by Peter the Hermit,jtnd other powerful or
ators, who swept the whole face of all Eurcpi with a
storm of religious elcqnetioe, until they rallied under the
btnuer of the cross dump eel tiers on ouch to rack Jem
Salem, aud it was in this period that numerous religious
sects sprung up in Franco aud Germany. One I re
member originated in the district .of Albi, ia the 12:h
century, and was called tbs Aibigenesea. It resembled,
somewhat, the Protestantism of this day, and was tole
rated and protected by the Oonrt of Toulouse. But as
this sect augmented aud began to tlonrish, Innocent III.,
who was the reigoiug Roman Pops at that time, de
clared war against it, and for the balance of (hat period
Franco and Germany were uuder the unceasing scourge
of theological wars.
Twaa in this period and towards the close of it that
that r nowned ecclesiastic Froissart flourished, as aim
did Paiilipps d> Coruuliaes; and it was in this period
that religion was of such universal aud absorbing Int'r
eet to tho common people, that t ie Pilgrims — w .o
returned from the Holy land—resolved to give a dra
matic exhibliion under the Fraternity of the Passim.
One of the pieces they enactrd was the history of our
Saviour from his cradle to his sepulchre. It was entirely
too lo; g fur oue rrpreseuUtion and was, therefore, con
tinued Irom day to day, aud was attended by multitudes
of peopls. Here, then, is conclusive proof that, at tfc’s
period, Fiance and Germany were intensely Christian na
tiins.
The second period extend) from ISOt) to 1700, and in
cludes tho revival ot lbs study of classical literature, or
the Renaissance and of the golden age of Freucb literature
u idcr lamia the Mlb. If a great infidel rose or reigned
ia this period,
“Whal't hit name ami whers’i till haa” "
la this period history tstU us that the downfall of Ooi -
stantiuople promoted the revival of ancient literature, of
the invention of printing, of the d'seovery of a uew
world, ol the decline of feudalism and the oouesq tout ele
vation of the middle Haases, but nothing ahint ii.fi ie’
ity. The Renaissance and Reformation went lovingly
hand in hand a'ong the banks of tho Rhine artd th#lene.
Anor.g those who eagerly imbibed the spirit of both
aood the lovely and loveable Princess Marguerite dc
Valoiro, sdr sister of Francis the First. Hsr valet-de
chambre wai tiro poet Mjrot. lie. was a schol'.ar and a
Oalvaoistic theologian,and in Us holy hymns and p< ems
wore happily blended familiarity, propriety, el-gaucc sliI
grace, and they were universally rtad.
But it Was in Calvin that Die It'formation, and in Ra
belara l iat the it vraiauinoe found tnair representative
types. Vit very many other intellectual, moral ami re
ligious lights tl wished in this period, whoso rays are elil|
beaming on os through tho hex • of time. Among them
yon will tiud Killvi, Voiture, Menage, Scudery, Ohsp
liin, Gostart, Conrad, the Abbe Has*uet, and the Cardi*
iial Richelien. And it was about this lime too, that that
great original and powerful thinker, D weirtsse, opened
and bias-d tho way for Lack Newton and Liebnrx —
And it was in this same period that Bosserei, Bourdtlone
and Marstinn, three of ths most powerful pulpit oralnra
the Catholic ohnrob rssr produced, llouriaked. H jes.ret
addressed the conscience through the imsgination, Boar,
dtloue through tho ju-lgtuout, and Massaton through tlie
feelings. And it wai these two centuries that pro
duced that great geometrician Pascal, those eminent
liwyets Pa‘ru, Pe-lsmon, Cociiin aud D'Agncsseau, those
m iral phiiusrp ie>s, Rochefoucauld aud Li Bins ;re, thote
great Authors of pure romance, Ms June Lafayette i.n J
Pension, that incomparable letter-writer, Msdtme de
S'vigne, those celebrated dramatists and artist, Racenc
and Ocrneilis, aud those pstsp'cuous and aide historians,
ft ws rot do Kits and St. Birnoa, They were ths ruling
and me*.or spirits of tbis period. Which one of them
was au infidel ?
The third psriod eilouds from 1701 to the p-erent
diy, and if France and Germany are to te conv-ctcd of
nitioral infidelity, it must ho in this period or not at n 'i
and I am (res to almit tb.it men wonJerlully gifted tiid
tl i Uriah in France and Germany in this period, who were
i ifidels, hut their infidelity was nut the enures of tin ir
popularity, but their popularity prevailed even over the!
infl lelity. Skepticism hid its origin in the criticism el
Liuott, who was himself only a literary skeptic. He
raised the standard of revolt against the worship of an
tlquky, auJ would have dethroned poetry itself on the
ground of its inutility. Thus skepticism commenced by
established literary doctrines, becoming matters of donb
anl controversy. High among the skeptics atou
this lme, stood the Baron da Monte-q-iieu. DU
pipulirity was commensurate with his fame; but tc
what was he indebted for that fama. By no means tc
those “Persian Letters," but In truth it was based upot
bis “Spirit of laws,“ which it Is acocrded on all hands i<
ths greatest monument of human wisdom erected in the
18 h oentury. History says “it is a profound analysis oi
law in its relatloa with government, customs, climate, re
ligion and comusroe." The book is inspired with a spin
of juatios aud humanity. But ths (real spostis of infl
dJity iu Franca was Voltair, end bis popularity knrw do
limit below the stars. But to what was it attributable f
Certainly not to hi> skepticism, for l.e was imprisoned
•b»»a till"'" i.i ilia Bat tile and three times had to dy from
France eu ncrount or hi» skepticism. What llieo was
the secret cf his immense populirity. it • •■> t*;» poems
fcssuye, dramas and wit. Unr his dark thoughts his wit
play J like lightuug ever » dark cloud, aad over France
the oorrusca.ious of his geulus II ubed for half a centV*
with a vividness that dazzled and infatuate! all claraae i *
society, irrespective of creeds And the thunders of the
Vatiraa that (xpatriated the infidel to-day woulj be lo t
to morrow, amid the louder thunders of the pcpnlir
Catholic vo ce, Rilin g Loin2 ths wit. When * 7. tiro" was
played, all Catholic Frauce rushed to the theatre, and
the greatest honor he ever received came from a sponta
neous bum: of enthusiasm, with which ho was once re*
u.-ived upon ontrrirg the theatre, while they were per
forming one of bis plays, lie had for s long time
been absent from Paris, and when the eye of tie
audience fell upon the bowed and venerable form
of the groat author of not only a thousand and one
happy hours of glowing interest they bod ei joyed, but
of Unf mental ropast that was then being spread before
them, tbtir enthusiasm broke through every restraint
and burst upon him liko a tornado. Old men put their
arm.! aflVctionately around him. Beautiful women pout
ed upon him a refreshing shower of par-boat: kisser,
and all joined iu taking him viet artnii and enthroning
him upon the stage, and weaving round his brow a
wreathe of firing laurels. Voltnir wept with joy. Bu
this was no tribute to his infidelity. It was the hom
age a Catholic people delighted to piy to trans lendem
gi-nius. 11 is society was courted bv Frederick the Great
and all the great intellects au 1 wits of Europe. But iu
fidelity bad nothing to do with his popularity. I know
that a literary society was formed in France, the avowed
purpose of which was to saiito down religiou, and Iks'
its members frequently assembled in the ta'oni of Me .
dames du Dtfiant, GeolTriu of Me I’Erpinaiaj aud Biroii
d’Ht back, and that for a time their doctrine* spread
like a malaria, biasing religion aud morals temporarily.
To ibis society belonged that cynic and sophist l)i< -
erot, D'Aiembcrt, Krsacau, Condillac, the aentamoutali •
Grim, the philosopher Hcivelius and tbo mtliciou-t Ma .
montoi, but right hero I wish to coll vour special ntten
lion to throe prominent facts. The ii.ti lots, if they ev r
had anything to do with the laws, never licensed gamb
ling ; that at no period was France ever under the sceptre
of au ii.fi iel King or Emperor, and that the communi
cants of the Catholic church did always and do now out
number all other denominations, including tbs iefidels in -
France, and if this dock not prove that Franco never
and argument useless. Moreover, it u well lcuown to
every student of history out of B it-lourt that infidelity
has run its courso in Franc) and U cow prostrated with
the dry rot. Neuter, the father of Madam de S ael
drew his bright blade on the side of llie church when
the storm of infidelity was at its wildest, and arousd him
there gathered a formidable host of powerful writers
and they kept the banner of the cross firing from tin
masthead of the church whet, the beach was being thickl)
strewn with the wreck of infidel crafts. Madame d<
Stael aud Chaulerbriand fought tho battle of the churcl
in literature, Maine de IF rah and Koyer-Collatd in phi
losophy, and Benjamin Constant in political science, ami
to no inconsiderable extent they did suct-rcd in ncu
tral'x'.og the baleful itfltetters of Volteir and hts school,
and Irom that diy to this,infidelity has been on the waim
in France. A Catholic sits on her throne,Catholics alt it
her councils and Oatbolies frame her laws, aud now wha
do you take by your allusion to iufidel France, when i
eventuate# that France never was and U not infidt
France, and that when there were mere Infidels lhcr>
than there wag at any ether time, gambling was to
licensed, aud now.wlieu they do not wield over the ilci
