Which ie denied them in their own country, by the extor-
tioria of. dishonest and del raved priests, and the heartless
and shameful impositP;;::•: of their popish middlemen and
their landlprds
If, then, we divide .thii45,020 imaginary Roman ca-
tholies into five parts,iiBgtdirililto the equally imaginary
ratio of births, as asstriattlitp.the nameless barrister
aforesaid, we shall find that'dtilY two-fifths of the births
are, hqflafide, settlers in Liverpool. The fifth of 45,000
is 9,000—twice which gives. only 18,000 who are borne
to be located
,in .Liverpool. The unknown calculator
may, if he pleases, challenge these facts at his earliest
convenience. if it be necessary, we are prepared to
publish the number Of births in Liverpool which has
been fraudulently imposed upon the poor-rate expendi-
ture of the town, the money expended upon them in their
extremity, and the expense of removing the children and
their mothers at the cost of the parish. The charge dpon
this item alone is enormous.
But we thank the nameless, and, we suppose, briefiess
barrister, for `assisting us in. following up his ingenious
theory to some very valuable deductions. If the births
and baptisms of Roman catholic children be worth any-
thing in ascertaining the totality of population, surely
the same rule will apply to other sects. The unknown
barrister and his party make common cause with the
English dissentets. In other- vtords, he who denies GOD
and he who makes GoD—lie. whO Sneers at sacraments
and he who convetts. a sacrament into! a divinity—are
dear allies and sworn brOthers in their rabid hostility to
the Church of ,England. We hold both in the same re-
gard, inasmuch as we despiSe an impostor and hate a
thief. It makes no difference with us whether the one

attempts to rub- as- under false pretences, or the other by''
bold, open, and undisguised-burglary. The. Roman Ca-

quivocally execrate and despise. They are the baseit
Worms of the earth. They are rebels and hypoCrites to
Whom no quarter ought to be shown. They wear the
mantle of christianitv merely to cover innate fraud and
ianconfessed ambition.
But who are they ? Wheare the secessional vampires
'who build joint stock chapels in England, who trade upon
`fictions who live by-the evil working, of faction, and
who insult the people by declarations upon which,
Without slander; might be written the word FRAUD ?•
41111eY are, the baptists, independents, quakers, and_
unitarians. What does our list show ? The births of
these people are, in Liverpool, as before stated—inde-
Pendents 140, baptists 76, quakers 20, unitarians 16.
We know it will be said that some of these dissenters
"ail themselves of the baptism of the church. Men
who repudiate the doctrines of our venerated establish-
!nein,. and who Are moving heaven and earth to starve
tts ministers and annihilate its institutions, nevertheless,
tarry their children to its sacred fonts and clairn for their
helplessness the benefit of its ordinances. This only
shows the foitt carnplexion of their hypocrisy—the vile-
ness of their Political animosities. They covertly ,sanc-
"'inn that whtCh'they openly condemn. They embrace
in secret whattliey: denounce- in public, reckless of the
°Pinion whictilliefr friends, or the-world, may form in
eonsequence...
But they are not all so inconsistent, for the indepen-
dents claim 140 baptisms! This paucity of numbers,
however, exhibits their sect in a very melancholy point.
of view. They are so few that they can hardly lay claim
10 the name of sect. They are a mere coterie who run
after every bird Of showy feathers, and whose religion is
in Abe Preacher more than in the doctrines and precepts
,°f. the gospel. The baptists -have only dipped 76 mem-
