' CAUTION TO PROTESTANT PARENTS.'
The following foul and malignantly mendacious statemen.,
put forth by the Manchester Courier, proves how little
scrupulous are some of Mother Church's sons in their at-
tempted attainment of their unhallowed objects :—" We
feel it a duty we owe to Protestant parents to warn them
against the treacherous designs of a number of Jesuits,
who are employed in various parts of the town in persuad-
ing the poorer class of Protestants to send their chiliren
to Popish schools, where their young and susceptible minds
are poisoned by the infusion of the rank and pernicious
dogmas of that blasphemous heresy, and are taught not
only to despise the Catholic principles which their fore-
fathers so nobly fought to secure for them, but to perse-
cute even their nearest relatives and dearest friends. Every
artifice which even Popery is capable of concocting is re-
sorted to for the accomplishment of this infamous fraud ;
and, while we assure our readers of the authenticity of this
statement, we request them to be on their guard against
this soul-destroying gang. Another trap which the same
parties have just set to catch the unwrry and unsuspecting
Protestant is, to
*get up a discussion between two Papists
(one of them protesting to be a Protestant), and by the
grossest misrepresentation of Protestant doctrine, as well
as the concealing of the more hideous and diabolical fea-
tures of Popery, to mislead and ensnare their prey. We
trust that those whose business it is to watch the interests of
the Catholic Church of England will be more on the alert,
and detect and bring these apostates to the light."
The first number of a periodical paper was
issued at Heywood, on Thursday the 6th instant, con-
taining two articles, the one entitled " An Address to the
Friends of Liberty," and signed Thomas Grinishaw ;
the other " The Convention," and signed Jub Plant.
Both these individuals have become conspicuous in
that neighbourhood as Chartist agitators; but it ap-
pears, that they now found out their mistake. Grim-
shaw complains that the " money-hunting Radicals at
Bury wish to crush him as an individual, because lie
will not acquiesce in the corrupt and sinister motive of pro-
fessing friends to liberty, or the procrastinating, tergi-
versating, and pusillanimous proceedings of the National
Convention." Job Plant is still more angry at his former
Chartist associates, and calls them " knaves, nho are
socking their individual advantage, and unworthy of the
people's confidence." He divides his subject into three
heads—" the character of the Delegates—the trust reposed
in them—and, lastly, their conduct and measures." He
says. " When the Delegates first met in London, they
had a public dinner; they broke up at eleven o'clock tit
night; and, after that, there was drinking and dancing till
a late hour in the morning, whilst those who sent them
were literally starving. Such conduct developes the
dissolute and reckless character of men who could thus
wanton in the life's blood of the people. It is mani-
fest that the selfish part of the Convention were nu-
merous, hence their horse-leech cry " Give I give !" to
the national rent. Who but greedy men could waste the
people's money by riding in cabs through London streets
to public meetings, and call for liberal supplies, in ad-
dltion to liberal pay when agitating? The cockney squad
