His political heterodoxy lias long been tolerated, and he has had innumerable partisans, always ready to shout for him and to raise him y upon their shoulders; but his disrespect for Satan has frightened the majority of these away, and the petty persecution of the reactionary press and the official Philistines has made his life at home …
