The venerable Prelates of the United Kingdom,
the whole body of Nobles, together aiih the Mean-
ben of the (louse of Commons, before they can
take thei► seats in Parliareitit, must all call upon
the Almighty to witness, that, contrary to the belief
of millions otChristuins that have hied, and of
millioos that are now living, they hold the toms.
and the invocation of saints, as used in the Roman
Catholic Church, to be idolatrous. Can it Caen Ix
▪ matter of surprise, that ignorant and illiterate
persons, of the lower crosses in the community,
should regard, as objects of contempt and hatred.
and cousin to damnation, such as their religious
relates, and wise legislators, have solemnly, and in
the fate of their country, sworn to be deserving of
it, as guilty of the crime of idolatry ?
The Catholics, conscious of their own rectitude,
would little concern themselves about tile sentence
of eternal reprobation proncunced by the ignorant
rabble; ifs to the th-eat of damnation, they 411t1
not add that of shortly trampling under foot the
places set apart for their religious worship. in w!iith,
by the benevolence of the Legislature, they have
lately been allowed to assemble. litre it right
seem reasonable. that the Magistrates in every place
should interfere, by patting in execution the pre-
sent existing law, fur protecting the religiousliberty
of the subject. Would it not also be well to re-
morefroia our code of jurisprudence, every remain-
ing vestige of religious distinctions! Distinctions
which an serve no other purpose, than to divide
the empire, promote anarchy and confusion, and
make us a more ea.y prey to the general Umsrper,
whose ambition it is to lay Europe at his feet, and
be master of the world. Napoleon is looking out
for the opportunity of striking the fatal blow of our
destruction; and let us beware then of being found,
like the Greeks in Constantinople—attentive only
to the civil feed, tif religious fanaticism.
