been a nerghbor of Governor Polk for thirty
years.
Now we should infer from this, that Mr..
Hale is the friend Of Jas. X. Polk, and pre-
fers his election to the Presidency; and we
further infer, that the Globe comedies with
the declaration of the Journal of Commerce.,
that whether a candidate is a Catholic or
Protestant, may fairly and properly be taken
into account by those who are called upon
to give him their votes. True it is that the
Globe says nothing to warrant this belief, but
we cannot otherwise comprehend why the
article was transferred to its columns. Per-
haps other better read in the secrets of the
human heart, may arrive at a more satisfac-
tory conclusion. We leave every one, theIe-
fore, to his own way of thinking.
We here take occasion to say, that we
have spoken of Amos Kendall, and noticed
his wrethched tract, not because we consider
him of any importance as a man, but be-
cuse, as in this as in every thing else, he IS
the acknowledged expounder of the princi-
pies and opinions Of his party. Had he on
ly spoken out on this question, we should
never, perhaps, have written a line on the
subject. Since, however, his tract is clrcu-
lated throughout the country, under the frank
of the Locofoco members of Congress, TO
be used as text book of the party in GER
tain sections, We have considered II proper
to bestow our attention on il.
The writer of this is a Catholic, and whilst
he YIELDS to hone in his love of Wing prin-
ciples and his admiration for Henry Clay, he
!. does not hesitate to aVow that even a well
fou nded suspicion, thatthe Wing Party would
+ interfere with the rights of Catholics, orany
: other people, would find him in the ranks
t Eof the opposition. He disclaimes, however,
in the most explicit manner, any wish or dis
|, position to prejudice his Catholic brethren
n against the Democratic party, with whom
many, he knows, are acting with the hones'
conviction that the party's principle are
good. To vindicate bis political friend;
from the foul aspersions oftheir foes, is al
he intended. All he asks of any man is 10 be
:, guided in his opinions by the die a es O
conscience, and the light of reason, and no
! to condmn and Willy the wings upon the ties
. timony of such men as Amos Kendall, o
j whom it is not too much to say, had he liyec
in the day of the primitive Jews, Jadas is
e CARROT would have been another man.
e For himself the writer is not satisfied witt
0 mere clamor for equal rights and federation
e in matters of religion. Acts speaks loude
.e than words; and so long as those who woul
= seduce him from his principles by %panderinI
= to his religious prejudices, maintain test act
in their State constitutions, so long as the
\ make religion a qualification for Office, so Ion
Is as they treat Catholics as mere marketable
cattle flor one he shall never cease TO despls
all their professions OF friendship.
