In regard to the N:»!ionaI Democratic

"Discussions in regard to its action

stitqtional principle?. Its great object

to prove that they desenre the confi

no avoidance of any important issue,
'and thd persoliflii aAibffiou of candidates
should be totally discarded, and tiw
interests and wcifare of good govern

The oontrover«y which has agitated
both Church and State on both sfdos of
the Atlantic as to the burial of the re

day, as wo are inforthfcd by tefeg'raph,
by tlHdr peaceable interment in the
Cemetery of Notre Dame de Montreal.

llis representatives at once brought
in the temporal courts against /h'i C ire
and Church Warden* to compel them
to allow the burial in their eemetry.
The claim was resisted on the ground
tliat acoonftu'g to the rules acoepted by
the Roman Catholic community in Can
ada, ecclesiastical burial moat be refb*- j
ed to "public sinner* who shall die in i
jimpenitenne " and these public sinners I
were specifically defined. Unibord'a
crime oui klsted in being a member of a I
literary society w filch kept certain pro- j
hibited books iu its libary, An attempt
of tlie Cure's council to show that Gui
bord was a public sinner because he h.id I
offended against a decree of the Coun- i
I oil of Trent, which pronounces alt who I
reatf or possess prohibited books to be
ipso facto excommunicate, broke down i
i because the tribunal* could find no i'vf- |
deuce tliat the decrees relied bad ever
been received in France or accepted by >i
the Catholics of Canada since ita cession i
to Ureat Britain.
Finitlly, after a prolonged litigation, a ;
a decree pf the Privy Conncilwas made
orderiug the burial. Wlien this was
made known to the Cure he said tliat he
cherished a profound respect for the i
Queen, and was prepared to submit to I
her authority iu every tiling rclatiug to I
secular affairs, but as to spirittial mat- 1
tere be was under a paramount obllga- ! i
tion to obey bis Bishop, and so long ae I
the BUliop forbade it lie should be oom-
pelted to retuse burial to ttuiberd in
conoecrated ground, find the Cure alter i
this seems to have aftieared uo pore in
the business. The faneral was fixed ,
for tho 3d irSemptember laat,' and tlie 1 ;
procession found o«i reaching the oem-
{ etery tliat the gates liad been closed and

tiea were appealed to, bat l boy felt, or *
said tliey felt, unable to act without |
the presence of a stronger military force i
than could then be Tolleetad. i
The body was accordingly taken back
to the Protestant Cemetery, where it
had lain lor Are years, and the mob
was for i thai trfttap&af. The mat
teV has since' been in abeyance—with
the except fop of an episode in which the
Bishop of MontreaT tlgurtd In giving
public uot'ce that if the burial of Gui
