This is Catholicism as it is, firm, indepen-
dent, aud immovable, and not, as Mr.. Ken
dali has chosen to consider it, mean low and
unprineipled.
AS to the Philadelphia riots, over which
Locofcoism now sheds its crocodile tears,
but did not arrest, they should be deplored
by every friend of law and order; and never
was there a more wicked and malicious lie
than the statement that the Wing party in
any manner co%untenanced the outlaws en-
gagged in them. They deprecate and de-
~nounce all such acts CT violence, and wheth-
er a religious zealot assists in firing a church
or a convent, OF an agrarian leveller leads on
a mob TO sack a hour-store or demolish a
clearinghouse, matters not with them, they
have nc sympathy for either. They regard
both alike as srapzcaliiens and desperado8s,
fit only to gFace tue cells ola penitentiary.
No man knows knows this better than Amos
Kendall; and yet true 10 his calling, he has
the audacity TO assert that the principles of
schurch burners are all Wing. Nor he,nor
any one else, rsver uttered a meaner or
more despicabIe falsehood.

in the first out break of disorder, and if the
commanders ofthe military had done their
duty, if they had shown the nerve and firm
ness necessary in sucha crisis, society would
never have witnessed the scenes of Vandal
ism through which it has passed. Semina-
ries oflearning wouldzneyer have been des-
troyed, converts would never have been
sacked, nor churches burned.
The blood and arson of those three
days of terror are with them, and but for their
timeIous and time-serving conduct, ST. Mich
aef, &c, would notnow present the sGaale-
ful spectacle acknowledging ruins and bllck-
ened understanding monuments Of feli-
gious bigotry and intolerance. Aud who
commanded the military? General adwaI-
lader-a man belonging TO neither party
Gen. Hubbel and Col. Page both of them,
ike Amos Kendall, leaders among the mod
Eeru democracy. The latter made a speech
to the mob, counting their popularity, which
was answered by three cheers, and then they
resumed iheir. work ofdestruction, unmolest-
ed by him or his corps! Let Amos Kendall
and especially the Globe, remember these
facts, i~ndispu1able in themselves, when next
they speak efmobs burnings,and MURDERS Ia

But il is said the Native American party
was formed by the Wings, and that the Wings
hold that Foreigners should sefee pa aPpsen-
Eticeship Of twenty-one years, before they
are admitted 70 the rights of relationship. Ii
is false, in word and in fact grossly faisei-
On the contrary, it is susceptible of proc
that the leading men in the Native Americar
Societies, from their origin to this day, are
hostile TO the Wing cause. What, then, i.
the Eue slate of the case? The first Socie-
ty of the kind in the U. States was organic
at Washington City,on the I1th ofJuly,l 1897
under the immediate eye of President Yer
) Buren,. TWAS called the ''National Native
American Society," and all others were in.
tended TO be auxiliary toit. individuals o.
both political parties were instrumental in
its formation, and neither politics nor religion
; had ought to do with it's object. Wings and
Locofocos, Proteslants and Catholics, were
? alike 10 il; they occupied a common ground
/ and acied IN concert together. To show
that We are correct in our statements, we
T give the articles of its Constitution relevant
TO this point:
ARTICLES OF THE CONSTITUTION.
FIRST. We bind ourselves to cooperate, BY
all lawful means, with fellow, native citizens IN

ing the emOluments or honors of office, wheih,
