[BY REQUEST.}

From the Protestant indicator,
We are indebted to the Baltimore Lit
erary and Religious Magazine for the fol
lowing luminous article. 1t was written
in July, 1885, and consequently ought to
be perused with that recollection. The
reference to Pennsylvania has become
matter of history. During the collision
prior 10 the election, The questions con-
cerning Romanism were wisely discuss.
ed; and so far was the influence Of Pope
ry combined with the choice of a Cover
nor, that the opponents of one Of the can
didates endeavored to ALLEVIATE his friends,
by representing him as a Paplst He
was therefore called upon distinctly TO
avow whether he was Romanist or not.
MIR Rltner, in reply to the call, indignant
ly repeIled the degrading lmputation; g.
avowed that he was opposed TO the Ro-
nish system and hierarchy, as altogether
antl-christian and antl-republican,
The apticipaiions Of the Baltimore
Magazine are indubitably correct--ere
long the Popish controversy "must enter
largely into" our most important elections
The Protestants Of Pennsylvania have set
noble example, and established legit
innate precedent. Every candidate for
public Office should be required publicly |
to declare his remuneration Of Popery,
prior even to his nomination. Every cit
izcn who votes for any Papist for any of
flee oftrust, honor, or enolument in the
United States, is guilty Of a treacherous
abandonment of our most valuable immu
mites TO foreign despot, and is charge
able with virtual subCrnation Of perjury,
as bribing a man 10 take false oath for
the purpose Of obtaining official authority
for every Pupist, without exception,
who takes the oath Of allegiance or tho

Napoleon Bonaparte & John Wesley
1t is not easy 10 imagine any thing
