heads of the Partisans and Patron of. these prin-
ciples, which they pride theMselves in maintain-
ing inviolate, anti aver to be unalterable. Who
can then, without the most anxious alarm and
,apprehen‘i,m, see some of these Patrons in the
'two great Representative Assemblies of the na-
.ticm, both the Democratic and the Aristocratic* ;
nay, even avowedly ro in the Supreme Council
which assists the Executive, and is alone of-
ficially responsible for all its public measures ?
‘Vhen reverting to thelormer periods of this na-
tion's history, the.
.coodnet of such characters
enforces on the mind a conviction which is irre-
sistible. Through the influence of a Foreign
Power, some pretended statutes obtained the force
and power of,law in England, though 'they were
enacted. and ordained by the King, and Conned:
without the least mention of the
.consent'of Pal.;
liament. By such notorious treachery and dis-
honesty in forging stattites, did the Zeahits of the
Roman. Church introdrg Ott. Papi tyranny into
England, width circnntst epees oinply prove the
extreme danger of 'entrusting any persons with a
share ttf.,political power, whose religioiis opitions
are subject to such a fatal ftUtign

(See Protestant Catechism, pp 55 and 56., by the
present learned Bishop of St. David's.) The' re-
suit of the whole of these collected facts and evi-
dence is, that lucre negatives. will no 'Unger do.
The Bishop of Rome, and all his spirittial coadju-
tors and subordinates, most be stripped'of their
selif-assioned powers, which have so-long deluged
a miserable world with tears and blotid. Nor
could' the Holy Alliance apply their counsels and
toree.to a.tuote holy purpose than to suppressing
the tsvo leading antichristian powers, eastern
and western, {the Papal and the .Mahomedan),
who, however seemingly opposed in, name and
profession, ere, and long have been, in theun-

and rapaciousness of pretended religious Supre-
