Religion anna Politics.

During the recent canvass ia New York CITY. the Wig
Naiivis's bot only as>ailed the political rights # adopted
citizens. but their rights of religious freedom also. As
one evidence Of this we make tie following csirac, from
a speech Of Mr.. Eli Moore. made at a democratic meeting
held on lie eve Of the election. Mr.. Moore. being a DEM
ocrai. Of course strongly ccnsurcd tlesc assaults of the
Wing NatIvIsis upon The religious faith Of the Catholics.
He said
There Is, however. a religious feature to this question
which Is ag'iaied with more zeal than any other. A con-
siderable portion oi eInigranis are Protrsisnt>, but they
are exempt from The imputatiors made by the Native
Amercans-ihe~e are levellcd at the Catholics alone.
Now. upon Tins poin: / desire 20 say that no class of per.

with great pleasure a clear and explicit declaration TO this
eft, CT 10y an eminent Minister of that Church. | am will
ing to admit that ia years past the professors Of that
faith have sometimes carried IT'S doctrines too Tar into Sec
ular concerns. but since II has been understood that the
Church should stand disconnected from the state, | be-
lieve they made no attempt to renew the connection.
Il hold IN my hand a number of tracts that were intend
ed to hold up the Catholic faith 10 the contempt and ha-
tied OF every man. am told that the leading organ Of
the Native Amer can party has recommended them to the
public. One of them Is called Catholic Fsnatlcism,

The purpose. After organizing, Mr. Walker addressed
the meeting for about two hours in a most eloquent man
ner. The effect was well shown by the shaking Of
pla>tcrng and railing Of crockery IN an adjoining
store. The bursts OF applause were continuous and We
never saw an audience better pleased. \ large number

INDIANAPOLIS. MAY 10. 1871.


For two week. past. We have received nos, limeniahle
accounts Of the distracted condition Of the Democratic
party m congress. growing out Of their attempts to settle
the Presidential nomination. previous to the meeting IF
the National Convention. We have RETAINED however.
until nov. from communicating our affirmation to our
readers. not onis because We did not desire 70 become the
head Il bad news. but also because We could not but
believe that these divisions. ssf~nsfbfy growing out Of per
sonal preferences, would be confined among the members
Of Congress Themselves. Instead Of being thrust. like fire.
brands from our opponents. upon the party at large. But
as faithful chroniciers OF events, we can no longer avoid
the necessity Of giving a portion Of this di-,a-teiul. aud If
psr-is'rd IN. fuinous controversy. To this end, we copy
from the Globe a card OF the Ohio Democratic members Of
Congress, with arcply made to j, by the members from
this state. The card of the Ohio members a>-er,s. what
j. se.f-cviden'. that a movement, has been made by ihe
politicians .; Washington to thru, Mr. Van Buren from
the track. hy foresialiIng the action Of the delegates to he
National Convention. The Indiana members deny that
there has been any 'ooBcerfef' movement Of tie hind.
while they confess that some KIND If movement l. actual
Iy in progress, This to our minds aud Judging at this
distance, appears to be be mere q~uiJbF"g. L, i merely
denying the terms aud acknowledging the fact. This state
of Ihings shows the wisdom Of those who more than a
year sgo, proposed that The nomination should be made
last November, before the meeting Of Congress. Con-
gressional caucusses would then have been relieved from
making II the subject Of their deliberations, and Of inter.
fenng with the settled purposes of the people.
The Clay leaders here of course are in extacies at this
state Of tn ngs among the democrats at Washing,on,-
while the democrats, on the other hand, view it with the
most nexpressbhe Indignation. That our professcd friends
should have struck the first blow, is as revolving as cruel.
We hope and believe that these scandaious dissensions
will he healed 10y the National Convention, whose dele
gates vii be principally fresh from the people, and &C.
luainted with their wishes and feelings. aud uncontamna.
ted by the corIUPtions aud inirigues of the federal CITY.
