4 fsto last srords on Sunday ScAools-We
admit defence of Roman Catholicism, with plea
sure. The auikor entirely mistook us, in i.nagn.
ing that objurgatons of that Church were ap-
piled to the Roman Catholics of the United States
They were intended to apply to that Religion aa it
before the light Of the Reformaton--as it no,s
exists in Spain, and other Catholic countries. He
will hardly call III question the truth of remarks
thus qualified. We do not mean to say, that if the
Roman Catholic religion was the religion of the
law in these realms, that the abuses would flow
from IT which have scourged and enslovcd other
count les; but it is al least obvious that if such be
the innate tendency of that faith, tho condition of
Catholicism in this country imposes restraint up
on its nature. Catholics feeble minority here;
they have no power; they arc happy to be exempt
from the inquisitiors and auto da fes, which they
administer 10 the heretical in Spain; if disposed to
be mschicvous their teeth are drawn by their weak
ness and the constitution. To these facts we are
perhaps indebted Tor the absence Of alguazils, in
quistors, and auto dd Gss.
But we do not intend to suggest that Roman Ca
| tholics the only sect, who would abuse tempo
raj power if they had it. Perhaps the genius OF
their Religion has stronger propensity to tYrap-
meal conformity and persecution than that of O.
theirs. Yet they must not plead this; it does not
lay In their mouths to say ii; because they hdoe per
secuted unto death, wherever the church welded

u The Globe denies that the frigate Potomac
was fitted out expressly to carry Mr.. Van Buren, to

to what Is England in the route to the Mediter-
