pr OsPECTUs.

The Protestant community ara unwilling in any
way to s6ridge The rights of conscience, ara
hence are slow to believe, although 1t
has been publicly charged iron the pulpit, and
in religious newspapers, that there is well
arranged conspiracy to overthrow our free insti~
buttons; ard that the Church Of Rome, in ALI
ance with the most deoPotic governments OF
Europe, is making extraordinary efforts to dis
seminate Romanism in the United States, enter
tanning 4 hope that the time is near at hand
when the seat OF its empire may be transferred
to this country. The arrogant pretensions of
Bishop E,gland ard his associates, the acknow-
lodged agents Of foreign desPos; their establish
Of Catholic presses, conducted by their ablest
writer's, and their open attempt, during the late
election, to consolidate Catholic voters as politi
cal body, constitute crisis, calculated to arrest
the attention Of the American public; and,
warranting an examination into the truth
of these charges, and how far our civil institu-
tons may be affected by the purposes in question
1t is believed that, as RernaniSm Is a civil in
stitution, to discuss how far its predoninance in
the United States may affect civil rights, and
abrldge our religious privileges, belongs appro
priately to the political press. The undersigned,
therefore, proposes to treat it in its political
aspect, and to discuss its bearing upon our
institutions.
1t is proposed to render the Pilot valuable
commercial and political paper; to give to it
high moral tone, carefully excluding from its CO
'lumns everything which may be offensive to the
religious public. Important public documents,
and the leading speeches in Congress, on both
SIDES, will be given at length, and with the polit
cai matter and news, published in weekly paper
of double size, in quartz form, suited TO binding,
constituting candid and impartial history of the
times, with an index carefully prepared for
future reference.
The Pilot will be free press-as far as
possible, With ut partisan bias; asserting at all
times the opinions of the editor with indepen-
dence, yet dealing with fairness and candor to-
wards political opponents. In asserting our
purpose to speak Of Romanism as any other po-
litical influence, we by no means propose to de-
vote the paper exclusively to that subject. We
consider it q. political question, having most
important bearing upon our institutions, anb
believe that it should be discussed, that it may
be understood. We know that we have to
encounter many prejudices, and particularly in
this community; but we are confident in our
hopes that patronage sufficient to defray the ex-
pense OF publication may be secured IN support
of the paper. With this view this prospectus is
submitted. Respectfully,
DUFF GREEN.
