stupendous head in our own land; IRELAND has
enemies here as well as in England; Ireland and
CATHOLICITY have enemies wherever there
is illberalitv, wherever theresis oppression, and
,cbsrsnsy the demon ofIRRELfGION walks
abroad. All that is narrow in this country; all
that is bigotted and unjust, reafs its crest, and
| darts its forked tongue at IRELAND and her
RELIGION. To meet this monster, it is ne
cessary to have newspapers that are opposed 10
him. 1t is needful that journals should be NAM
tanned which can nail the lies OF these ENn-I
MES of GOD and MAN to the counter!
The Native American faction is endeavoring
to do its worst, and they should be met-thelr
schemes are nefarious, and they stick at nothing
to carry their points"
Below 1 give copy of the JesuiPs oath. 1t
will be seen that part of the oath is, that they
Pronounce and disown any allegiance as due to
any heretical king, prince or state named Pro-
testant, or obedience to any of their inferior ma
gistrates or officers, and that they will do their
'srtn,ost to eztapate the heTetiedl Protestant
doctrine, and TO destroy all their pretended pot0-
ers, regal and otheTtOise."
Now sir, thus your Boston Organ denounoes
New England as the land of "darkness and her
esy !" it denounces the 'sNative American" socie-
ty as faction; hostile to Ireland and Cathelicity
as the demon of irrelgion, the enemy of God
| and man. It identifies the cause of Ireland and
of Rome, and calls upon the catholics to rally
under your standard in the attempt to make the
religion and politics of Rome, the religion and
politics of this country.
1t is another striking feature of this esntrovsr-
sy that while the Native American association
protests against blending their movement with
religious controversy of any kind, your organ as
sails them with such unmitigated denunciatien.
They seek to keep the question of the church and
State separate. You denounce them as the her
tical enemy of the church, the demon of irreli-
gion-the foe of Ireland and of Cathelicity,"
The enemies of God and man. How long, ifyou
had the power, would it be, before you would
burn them at the stalker
Does not this demonstrate that your purpose
is to bring the power of your Church into poll
tics, and that you intend to agitate for the
Church here as O'Connell is agitating for the
Church in Ireland? Does it not show that the
same purpose exists, and that from henceforth,
the Irish Catholic vote will be given in refe-
renee to that party, which in your opinion, in
| the words of your oath, will do most to "ertir-
pate the hereticaI Protestant doctgi7e?o
No one can doubt that such is your purpose.
1t is obvious that you abuse the principles of our
| Constitution to subvert the Constitution; and
e.at your enmity to the Native American Assoc
citation, arises from the apprehension that by its
means the naturalization laws may be so amend
ed, as to deprive your "Irish saints" of the right
of "extirpating the Protestant doctrine"
A stranger to read your denunciation of Ma
five Anoaricana would aupnoaa that fhis
your country and not ours-that we were at
tempting to deprive you of your rights, and not
that you were demanding of us to relinquish
rights purchased by the blood of our fathers
that we were intruding Oh Irish ground, and en-
deavoring to extirPate your religion, instead
of your obtruding yourself upon US, for the
purpose of extirpating our religion What
would be thought of me if were to go to Ireland
and there denounce Irishmen and their religion,
as you denounce Native Americans and their re-
Igion3 Do you believe my life would be safe.
Igive below, copy Of the
Oath Of secrecy devised by the Roman Clergy,
as IL remained on record IN Paris, among
the Society Of Jesus.
CT, A. b., now in the presence of Almighty
God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Mi
chael, the archangel, the blessed st. John Bap-
fist, the holy apostles St. Peter and st. Paal,
and the saints and sacred hosts of heaven, and
to you my ghostly father, do declare from my
heart, without mental reservation, that his Holt
ness Pope Urban is Christ's vicar general, and
is the true and only head of the Catholic or
universal Church throughout the earth; and
that by virtue Of the keys OF binding and loos-
ing given to his holiness by my Saviour Jesus
Christ, he hath power to depose heretical kings,
princes, states, commemorative, and govern
ments, all being illegal without his sacred con-
firmation, and that they may safely be destroyed.
Therefore, to the utmost of my power, shall
and will defend this doctrine, and his holiness
rights and customs against all usurpers of the
heretical (er Protestant) authority; especially
against the now pretended authority and Church
OF England, and all adherents, in regard that
they and she be usurpai and heretical, opposing
the sacred mother Church of Rome. do re.
