CHICAGO, QLL.) Nov. 2, 1870
''The polls have just closed-l ,43I votes ia
ken-a nonstrous poll for a city containing
1000 inhabitants. LocOfoco majority .1S3.-
In 1898, when the same vote was cast, the Van
8urn majority on Congressmenwas 433--a part
Of the CANAL voted here. The lecos expect
ed 800. They consider this a Harrison triumph.
Reports from the country come in favorably.-
There are II, 600 foreign voters, (unnaturalzed)
N this State. They vote in mass the Van Bu-
ren ticket, owing 10 the supposed opposition of
the Wings to the foreign franchise. The chan
ees that the Van Buren, ticket will be elected;
BUT we have hopes that the farmers Of the north
ern and middle parts Of the State will balance
the enormous foreign vote in the southern coun-
ties and on the Canal line
IL none but native and naturalized citizens
we're entitled to vote, we should make clean
sweep for old TIP but it is hard work to coun-
teract the dead weight of $4,000 alienvotes."
This work Of DR.. Brownlee's is for sale by
Mr., Owen, North Gay Street. There are many
facts embodied in small compass, and after
speaking of the Soeiety De Propaganda, and of
the st. Leopold Association, he says:
"But we have most abundant evidence that,
these foreign conspirators are doing as much
mischief by the naterieI OF Dl0bs and pauperis1s
thrown upon our shores in one continuous stream
OF turbulence and CRIME, as by their colleges and
seminaries. To these German and Irish Colo
mics, the Schlegels and Metterniches may be con-
ceived as thus addressing themselves,-sfGo
forth, ye men of the night spirit, our holy reli-
gion has trained you to put down the republican
material Go with zeal, and spread ignorance,
bigotry, crime, and pauperism, every where In
'eQuest- IL. What are the supernatural reveal
ed motives for this worship Ans. The supernatu-
raj revealed motives are, that the Emperor is the
vieegerent and minister Of Godto execute the di-
vine commands; and, consequently, disobedience
70 the Emperor is identified with disobedience
to God himself; that God will reward US in the
world to come fer the worship and obedience we
render the Emperor, and punish us severely, to
all eternity, should we disobey and neglect to
worship him. Moreover, God commands US to
love and obey, from the Utmost recesses of the
heart, every authority, and particularly the En-
peror, not from worldly considerations, but from
apprehension of the'fnal Judgment.
fQuest. 19.--What examples confirm this doc
trine? Aps--Fhe example OF Jesus Christ him
self, who lived and died IN allegiance to the
Emperor of Rome, and respectfully submitted
to the Judgment which condemned him to death
We have, moreover, the example of the Apos-
| ties, who both loved and respected them; hey
suffered meekly in dungeons confomably to the
will OF Emperors, and did not revolt like male
factors and traitors We must, therefore, in
imitation OF these examples, suffer and be slentn
! 1t is easy to see that if these doctrines can
be made to supplant those now taught in our
schools, it viii be no difficult matter to intro
duce absolute power, and overthrow our institu-
tons. Already we are told, that foreign Catho-
lie voters, those to whom you have appealed
with so much effect, have controlled the vote of
Illinois; and / do not know that can better
conclnde these remarks, than by quoting the fol-
lowing extract Of letter addressed to the edi-
tors of the National Intelligenser, and adding
thereto the eloquent remarks cf Dr. Brownlee
In the conclusion of his work entitled, ''Popery,
an Enemy to Civil and Religious Liberty.n
