tend to the direct support of any opinion , or to the calm refutation of sentiments iii opposition , and stigmatize as heretics those who entertain opposite reli gious opinions . "— " What , " exclaims the Editor ofthe Journet Ides Debats , at Paris , "would
become of the Etoile if it was published in Prussia ? " And what , we ask , would become of the Evangelical , Congregational and Baptist Magazines , and the long list of intolerant and abusive periodicals ?
