Gus and uahlushing hostility 10 their own country,
clearly exhibited Ia the tsar Of their press and the
speeches OF their ouiors
Bur the late proclamation II the san LUIS priests. and
the course Of the federal pUs Ia reference 10 the nten
ions OF the government respect % the Mexican church
furnish another conclusive link ia the chain 81 testimony
which establishes tbs Infamous AMI reasonable alliance
between the leading elens,, Of the Uniled States and
our Mexican enemies
The priests OF san Luis proclaim to Their infatuated
and delude followers, that the government, Of the United
States is wagns tor the overthrow OF the church
and the subversion Of the Catholic religion IN Mexico
The organs Of federalism ia this country reterae the
false charge against their government kA0rag Il
10 be false.
Now what can be the object OF the two branches OF
this iedero. Mexican alliance, utierng and publishing
this vile calumny against government, II is very
obvious. The Mexican priests, acting in concert with
their aiesthe leaders Of the federal party the United
Sateshope, by their Infatuated appeals the religious
preudices OF their people, spirit OF religious
enthusiasm, which will tend TO proong the war and pre-
peace, until their friends the ederalsts in this
country make last final struggle to obtain posses
sion of the government, which they viii do in the
next presidential election; and, IN the event of their
success tile Mexican leaders hope and expect TO make
peace on their own terms with government While,
on the other hand, and with the same object in
view the leaders OF the federal party hope the
religious preudces OF the Roman Catholic citizens OF the
United States, by falsely representing that the govern
ment is wagng against the Catholic religion in
Mexico, the hope OF araying them the side OF feder
alsm in its battles with the democracy, and securing their
for the candidates of that party in the presidential
election These the motives and objects which have
prompted the ierocous nvectves of the priests OF San
Luis and the false infamous, and reasonable caumnies
of the federal press in this country against our govern
ment
That the imputa,ons OF both the priests of San Luis
and the aiorous federal prints of this country against
our government false and made only with the designs
and objects above stated, single fact will prove; and
that is, speedy peace bt,eeen this country and Merieo
yW the Merican church, and at place beyond
the posbaHyo Of ouerthrow dissertation By gorern-
ment.
If the leaders of the federal party have such fear for
the safety of the Mexican church and the Catholic
religion IN Mexico, let them counsel their Mexican
allies to peace. II peace made, forces
would be withdrawn, and the Mexican church would
be in danger only from her owa marauding chief
tains and awess rabbe. Ii the federal leaders real
| y feel desire to preserve the Catholic religion
in Mexico why do they not unite with our govern
in its efforts TO bring about peace Until they do
this they may well be regarded the real enemies of the
Catholic religion in Mexico any danger shall result
it by the conquest and occupation of that country by
roops-a result, however which do not apprehend
But are confident that until the leaders and presses
of the federal party this country counsel the Mexican
allies peace and cordially aud earnestly second the
,ich mould The MEXICAN church from the supposed
danger to which they aege il is exposed-our Catholic
citizens will look upon the camor raised by them
nothing but hypocrical cant, and foul, disgusting
treason The arul and ingenious address of the clergy
of San Luis finds apology in the fact that their
try invaded; but the conduct of the leaders of the fed
era party in this country can muster up 10
cover its atrocity and its infamy.
Who does not believe that the extravagant statements
lately thrown out by many of the federal presses
calculated to operate politically upon the Catholics of
this country--and especially upon those in Mexico
Who for instance, peuse the long, elaborate, dis
ingenious article in the National Intelligencer of last
Saturday morning without perceving its drift When
it charges, under its eleventh head that 'the has
one of its main causes in the existence of the Catholic
religion in Mexico, and should therefore adopt one
of its objects the stripping that church of its wealth and
influence there who does not that this article
written for the purpose OF its being republished the
Dario OF Mexico, to alarm the priests of Mexico, and
to iname the peopen fact to prolong the war, to de-
feat the present administration, at the hazard of sacr
fcing the rights and honor of country Who can
read late iberal and reckless article in the "New
York Express without perceving that its object is to
address itself to the fears and pride of the Mexican
church-to induce the clergy TO indulge embitterei
and hostile feeling against the United States and prevent
