In auoti9uf column, the attention OF our readers
is called TO Of the FIRST operations and imme.
date effects Of Mr. Van BuRkS's boasied kres,
measure OF deiveraRce and reform" the Sab. Trea.
sayg system The consequences Of his general po-
llcy--and OF that series OF pestiterous measures
which have been adopted and steadily adhered 20
Is anitics and cunsRnguinities Of the leading and
plan Of tie Administration are TOO
deeply felt BY the American people to require il.
lustraiion at this day. Prostate credit---Ruined

Try, by men Of oil classes professions, and oucupa-
tons, give painful yet undeniabe testimony how
injurious to the people have heen The schemes ofan
Administration that has steadily, ndussriousy. and
systematically aimed exclusively at selfaggra
neni, and the continuance in power OF the men who
have disgraeefully abused their trusts.
But the American people have been told by one
who speaks With authority since his newborn xeal
placed him and his brother apostntes from South
Carolina in the front rank Of the Rogues and
Royalsts"-at the very head Of the s'reptilcs that
crawled in their own slime up TO The footstool Of

The significant declaration thus uttered by the
mouth-pece Of VAN BuRsslsM and AposrAcy in

IL is then that our glorious constitution will under
go its hardest triai."
What new scenes are to open upon us after
the first act of the DRAMA We are not left to
conjecture. The imagination need not stretch its
wings TO discover the important events and CON
sequences which we arc here told the year 1912
is to produce. simultaneously with these yhunt-
inxs nboa, the measures of the Administration be-
ing only in the beginning OF their course---in the
muscle, and not hardened into the bone--we find a
leading organ of the Administration disclosing the
ttniure series Of public measures" for which Mr.

! Wages is cunning device Of the devil for tn,

the advantages of the slave system without the OK

But having traced the inequality we complain
of to its origin, we proceed TO ask again, what il
the remedy The remedy is first to be sought il
the destruction Of The Pries,."
The Priest is universally n yrant, universa
the enslaveI Of bis brethren, and thereiore--it i
Christianity condemns him"!!
:" II may to supposed that we, professionals. hav
no Priests; but for ourselves, we know no funda
mental difference between Catholic Priest and
Protestant Clergyman, we know difference 0
j any magnitude, in relation to the principles o
which they are based, between a Protestant Churc
and Catholic Church"
There mast be no class Of men set apart and al
horized either BY law or fashion, TO speak 10 us
the name Of God, or to be interpreters Of the won
of God. ByIlIE WORD OF GOD NEvEI
