tbe;r notiyity. thew violated the peace, but were
apeased by the remonstrances OF priest, the
very associates of General Green IN has present
paytisanShip, were the first to complain OF this
5,,,d,ie IL, fuence as destructive tSour liberties
by substituting the priest for the constable, and
teaching foreigners rather to bow before the
shrine Of a false church, than before the tri-
bupal of Justice-thus Introducing the spirit oil
clerical deSpotIsm one side, and oil aoJect
slavery on the other.
We recollect the story of an unfortunate man,
who was subjected to the lash of drummer;
when he was cut under the shoulder blade, it
was too hirh the touch on the loins was too low,
and the unfortunate execationer finding him
equally out of hamor with all sorts OF whipping,
resoly ed to follow his own judgment-so with the
hatcrs of our Catholic pat4perS. Ii the import
ed roter is turbulent, he is riOtohS Foreigners
if he listens to the voice of religion, he is po-
piSh SIaue If the laborer be disposed to near
us. we will saw to him,-ss Do as the drummer
did; follow the dictates of your own judgment
These men do not love you, and VIII not love
YOU! Have Christian charity for them, and care
as little for them as We do; that Is, Just nothing,
Hold to your religion and to the Republic; and
be independent of those wko, in truth fear you
though they affect to despise you.' We leave to
the recollection of Gen. Green himself tie con
temptation Of what he said and wrote on fer
mer occasion, to excite anything but sympathy
for those hard working Catholic paupe1>.
call paupers, and whom his associates habitually
stigmatize, are they who have built our cities,
dug our canals, levelled our railroads, laoored
in our mines felled our forests, and cultivated
our soil. These are the men who create the
| wealth of nation, and who can, II necessary,
maintain the rights of the countryin the Ia &c OF
her foes: bat they are pduperS! CATHOLIC PAU
PEERS, and thew must be driven from the ballot
! box, lest these imported Catholic voterS should,
/ at the back of the msnarchs oil Europe, destroy
| our free institutions,
This is fair specimen of Bishop Ensland's
logic II is unfair-it is uncaudid-t IS JesiiI-
teal We said that ''the Protestant community
had been warned, as well from the press as from
the pulpit, that the money expended in getting
up schools, as we'll as that used in sending pau
pers, and other Catholic population t" this coun-
try, is part of a system, which, looking to the
nature of our institutions, contemPlates great
religious, as well as civil revolution, by means
of imported Catholic voters"
Bishop England charges that we specially state
''that this money was spent in bringing hithcr
Catholic pauper population" We made no
such statement We did not vouch for the truth
of the charge. We said that the Protestant
community had been warned, as we'll from the
pulpit as the press, that the money expended in
sending paupeT, and other Catholic population
to this country, part Of system. What sys-
tenn The system by which the Catholic monar-
chies of the old world propose to revoluiionlse
our institutions-of system contemplating the
use, well of the money paid by Protestant pa
rents for the education of Protestant children in
Catholic schools, as of the money paid by Cath
olic despots; the money paid for the erection
of schools and the introduction of pauPers is bu.
part of the plan-which is not less objectionable
because it uses the money paid by Protestants as
well as that paid by Catholics.
Bishop England charges that we have been
guilty of wantonly inllicting the grossest insult
upon the great body of the Catholics in the
United States, unless we show the truth Of
| two propositions, both of which he deRiss:
1. That Catholic paupers were seat hither.-
2. That it was commonly and generally charged,
that they were sent hither by the Catholics Of
Europe, and adds, s'that they were sent oy them
for the purpose of rcvslutionising our institu-
tions.n We quote to shay how unfairly tins
Jesuit argues. We made no charge We said
that others had made the charge. Nor did we
assail insult the great body of the Catholics
in the United States.
At present we pass over much that Bishsp
England has said, and meet the question Of We
racity which he has raised between u.s.
We said that the protestant community have
been warned, as well from the pulpit as from the
press, that the money expended in getting up
schools as well that used in sending pa upper and
other Catholic population to this country, is part
of system which contemplates great religious
as well as civil revolution, by means of i'm ported
Catholic voters"
This Bishop England denes-and says that
our having SAID ST. is sethe grossest insult upon
the great body of the Catholics in the United
States"
As to the question of fast between Bishop
England and ourselves, we quote the following
from a work, entitled ''Popery enemy TO CT
vii and Religious Liberty; and dangerous to our
Republic: BY w. C. Brownlee. d. D., of the
Collegiate Protestant Reformed Dutch Church,
New York" Fourth edition, page 2lS.
fsBut Is VS. DIR. Brownlce) we have most
abundant evidence that these foreign conspira-
| tors are doing much mischief by the materi.l
of MODS and pauperisnl, thrown upon eur shores
| IN one continuous stream of turbrlence and
crime, as by their colleges and seminaries."
And tile same writer says on page 90s:
"Bishop England, in circular published in
Ireland, shows that there is IN organized sys-
tenn Of meas in operation to throic in sspon as
immense bodies of Popish cniigTaufs.'n
VIII any one, after reading these extracts,
say that Bishop England has net done us great
injustice by charging that, in referring to these
publications, we had offered gross insult to the
: gre body of the Catholics Of the U. statesn
L; We not fully proved every thing that we
=, and is not BishaP England convicted Of
want of candor, TO say the least
