poLlTICo RELIGIOUS COALITION.

In our last we exposed the shameless and dis
gushing coalition between Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr..
Calhoun--the NuLLrrtER and The DEMocRAT-and

then, as supple as the leading parties to the coai-

their roteS to ratfy such doings. We publish be-
low another and more ominous chapter in the his

hopes to enlist a sufficient number of neU recruits,
to make up for the loss of the thousands and tens

antirepublican measures have driven from his sup

Pope to send them in sDarmS to our shores-and in

years. Since the appearance Of the Bishops pas

political duties of his Sect and his subsequent ex-

the Catholics particularly the more recent hordes
of emigrantS, have MOVED IN A BODY FOR TIE AD-

BISHOP ENGLAND'S LETTER.
We now proceed to fulfil our promise, 10 speak
OF Bishop England's letter, in connexion with
The late election in Illinois, Mr.. Van Buren's let.
ter 10 the Pope, and the attempt to carry our local
elections by The aid Of FOREIGNERS.
In approaching this question, it is proper to
look into the power Of The Pope, TO see what it
is, and how it may act if ii is brought to bear on
The politics Of the country. For the present we
iorhear going into the past history Of the Church,
or its abuses. 1t is proper, however, that we
should say, that the Pope is temporal, as well as
a spiritual MONARCH, and that he looks upon the
members Of the Catholic Church every where, as
subject to his dominion. Hence the letter Of Mr.
Van Buren,, giving assurances that Roman Cath.
olics in this country 'are at perfect liberty and
that they enjoy entire exemption from coercion in
every possible shape, upon the score Of religious
lalh," was received by His Holiness with the
highest qualification, and constitutes new era in
the history Of the Church. 1t is not to be sup.
posed that circumstance like the opening OF this
correspondence, was withheld from Catholic
Europe. Hence Catholic emigration TO the u
States, was necessarily coupled with the idea OF
protection from the Government.
But what forms the extraordinary feature in the
correspondence between Mr.. Van Buren, and the
Pope, is, that it originated in misunderstanding
between two Priests in Phladel pha, who applied
10 Mr.. Van Buren,. andrequested him, as Secretary
Of Stale Of the United States, To ask the Pope's
interference thus blending, at once, Church and
State. As Mr.. Van Burcn's obec, was 10
strengthen himself, by bringing together the odds
and ends OF all parties, he soon saw his advantage,
and availed himself Of the occasion TO enlist the
good feelings of The Catholics Of this country; and
his letter is so worded to produce political cap.
ltal.-Ience we find that his parlizans every
where are relying upon the foreign Catholic vote
to control the elections. The Editor of the Re
publican, in this city, appeals to them as foreign.
ers, admitting that they are relied upon, as for.
eigners, 10 control our elections.
In this aspect Of the case, the interference OF
Bishop Eng land is douby reprehensble, and
should awaken The attention OF Protestants,
throughout the country We give, below, an ex.
tract from the Lynchburg Virgnan, shown! that
this foreign vote was relied upon; and did control
the late election ia Illinois. And we have un.
dersood, and believe the fact, that foreseeing that
the legal vote OF the State would reject Mr.. Van
Buren,, his parlizans, who happened to be in a
majority in the State Legislature, passed law au.
thorizing unnaturazed foreigners to vote at cleo.
tons. The question was made before the Courts,
and the decision upon their right to vote has been
postponed until after the Presidential Election,
in order that their influence may be brought to
bear in aid Of Mr.. Van Buren, in November. Ii
will, indeed, be grave question, whether the PEG
pie Of the United States will permit Mr.. Van
Buren, to take his seat as President of the United
States, il it should turn out that he is elected by
the introduction of these illegal foreign voters.
| We call special attention 10 the article from
the Lynchburg Virgnan. is perusal should
arouse the indignant feelings Of every native born
citizen of the United States and il the descen
dans Of our Revolutionary fathers had the virtue
and patriotism which belonged to their ancestors
the facts here disclosed would, Of themselves, be
enough to create feeling Of universal indignation
Throughout the whole country, and drive Mr. Var
Buren, into meriled disgrace.
But there is another feature OF this case which
renders the interference Of B shop Enga more
improper. We know that all Europe is ct pre-
sent opposed 70 us upom the nneslion Of SLnYeIY
