: M. Amos Kendall was born and Tearedf
under these Democratic institutions, and he
ofall other men is most fit TO intercede with
his political kinsmen of New Hampshire
Indeed, it is strange that IL of his zeal and
philanthrophy, ever ready as he is to plead
the cause of the prosecuted and oppressed,
has not before this, turned TO his native State,
and demanded of her equal rights and equal
privileges for all citizens, for the Catholic
as well as the Protestant. Why has he not
done it2 Why has he, and why have the In
corruptible Democracy slept so long, when
religion, enslaved and degraded, has implot-
ed their succor ard assistance? Shall we
ever be answered? We fear not. If Mr..
Kendall wishes more evidence 70 prove that
Religious Ligerty is in dagger he can east
ly find it in the Conduct of his political
friends. In Maine, where the constitution
is free from all religious qualifications for
oflce--and to her honor be it said-the late
Edward navanaugh was refused a uomina-
ton for Governor, because it was his misfor-
tune to be an Irishman and a Catholic. And
even in Catholic Maryland, religion has
been made to work incompetency. Yes!
we proclaim it as a fact which cannot be
truthfully denied, that religious considers,
tons were urged in the Locofoco Guberna-
torial Convention, and that Mr.. James Car
roll was nominated in preference to Mr.. HI.
1 g. S. Key, ofSt. Mary's because the latter
gentleman is an alliance with Catholicity.
What are we to think, when we hear ofsuch
doctrines being taught in The State which
first planted the banner of civil and religious
liberty on American soil. What! but Ire.
ligious liberty is in danger"
But here is an extract from the columns
of the Troy Press, written some years ago
by William Yates, a Locofoco of the Amos
Kendall stamp, which we recommend TO the
attention ofall who have read his most adj
mirable tract, as we doubt not his party re
gard it. 1t is in these words:
D "The children ofbigoted Catholic Ireland
ike the frogs that were sent as a Plague a
t gainst Pharoah have come into our homes
, bed chambers, ovens, and kneading troughs
4 Unlike the Sweeds, the Germans, the Scots
and the English, the Irish. when they arrive
among us, too IDLE and VICIOUS to clea
5 and cultivate land, dump themselves dow
in our large villages and towns, crowdihg th
meaner sort of tenements, and filling Their
with wretchedness, filth and disease. In a pc
: litica1 point OF view, what are they but mer
$ marketable Cattle?"
Catholics and foreigners are mere marke'
e able cattle, with the Locolocos. we suppos
or Amos Kendall and his coadiutors woul
not thus attempt to excite their prejudice
and place them in opposition to Wing prime
pies and Wing politicians.
Sill these men have the hardihood to a
sert that the Wings as a party are opposed
n the Catholics, forsooth! How and whe
has the opposition been manifested? VIII
d then, is it that so many of the most respec
t, able ana ipfuentisl Catholics are Wing.
Certainly they would not contribute the
time and exert all the powers of their int
is lect TO advance the cause of their enemle
Is any one so foolish as 10 say that they al
is duped and blinded to the truth by Il
is strength Of their party attachments? Sue
Of trickery win not do. 1t is too shallow {
g, these days. But in reality how stands II
ly case. What has been the conduct of Il
he wings in this respect. Go back TO l940,ar
&c VIC find the wings Of Maryland denonncir
and d;ssolving by their authorized agents, q
b connexion with Gen. Duff Green,(now a 81
&c porter of Col. Pulk,) because Of his atfacI
on the Catholic religion, through bis plpe
the Pilot. And they occupy the same groul
n now as then; on their banner "Religio
n freedom" is Inscribed as one of their care
Ill nal principles. This is the language of t
address put forth by the State Central Coz
d. mittee; and among the proce edings of t
&C. wing mass meeting in the city of Baltimo
10 on the evening of the 9Th of June, is Il
ii resolutions:
IN Resolved, That the privilege of worshippi
The Deity in the mode which each mans c,
!. science prescrIbes, is one of those rights VIII
~ were asserted nd allowed in Maryland MI
De- than two years ago, which have been secured
es. US bv our Constitution and our Bill of RICH
III aud which the Wing party has ever naintaine
and will ever maintain as one OF its cardil
AZ aud most cherished principles
We arc told, however, that the Wing CT
didate for the Vice Presidency is hostile
ion the Catholics, and Orestes A. Brownson,,
W. prototype of Amos Kendall, has volunteer
nP- his services as a witness in that behalf. N
no we are aware, as Mr.. Brownson states, I
~. Mr.. FRELINGHUYsEN is a jealous religione
DC and it reasonable to suppose that, SO far
he religious d~emagogues are concerned, In
we is little communication between him {
ana the. Catholics. That is a matter of no
act ment; he is free to enjoy what religi
us opinions. he pleases, and whether he is
De Presbyterian or an ~Episcopalian, a Met
dist or a Baptist, neither Catholics nor
Jew one else have a right 10 find fault with h
an He is not for abridging the rights of any
ligious denomination, nor for giving Prot
ects ants greater privileges than Catholics.
UGH recent letter to Mr.. F.. C. Meizgar>i is full
sell satisfactory on these points. 1t is as
