inc that the very seclaransn Of which he is the de-
nouncer was the means OF establishing our Tellglous
| liberty. The speaker examined the Bishops claim
that his Church invented representative government
electoral franchise and trial by jury. He would ask,
IN what purely Catholic country have these lnven-
tons been introduced! Are they in Italy, SPAN,
Portugal, Austrial 1t would seem tnat, however, Ia
Gle Catholics may be TO invent these good things,
they are very slow to adopt them Tine Pope himself

pared for liberal institutions" II fifteen hundred
wears of Church rule has left her unprepared, may
we ask when she will be readyi The Church ex-
perimented some twelve hundred years before TINS
country discovered, and yet the Protestant
part of America has adopted the elements OF our
free institutions without danger. The BISHOP
passes encOmium upon New-England, (wnlch ne

Element of Maryland, crying out; "see, here Is

such seed in Maryland why is it that such pro-
ducts are nowhere else to be found Is the sandy
soil of Marylan more copgenia TO its growth than
the lovely plains Of Italy, the green valleys Of Spaln
the sunny Skies of Mexico, or the broad savannahs
OF Brazil! Did not the Bishop forget to tell US that
George Calyeithad patent from Protestant King,
and that it is not very natural for even kings to fos
ter children who will pick their fathers eyes out
He should have proved that Lord Baltimore came with
authority from the Pope to found liberal colony.
He did not DO this and where ,rin he point US to
such al example, Was 1t in Florida? where Me-
Iendez In 1895 under the authority of the most
Catholic King Of Spain. with strict orders to giobet
and behead all the Protestants in those reglonsto

kill every hereto. Was in Mexico! where C0rtez
maiched with priests at his side, to murder, burn
and destroy the natives, and annihilate even
the rocky monuments Of shat strange civil
jZaton, because 1t was heathenism. Was it in
Peru' where Pizauo bore the cross over fields
of blood and cities OF desoation, outraging every
principle of justice and humanity, prompted by the
orders Of Catholic Prince who was deslrous Of
saving souls even though their existence was doubt
full. l am surprised that our Archbishop should put
forth such fmsy arguments In favor OF the liberal
tendencies OF his Church. Passing over minor in-
accuraces let look at the doctrines of the Catho
Tic Church on Revolutions. If the Church has no
recognized theory OF Government, why has it al.
ways been found lighting on the side OF monarchy
Why old it struggle through the seventy years war
10 establish It's temporal power' Why were all IT'S
during that period Why does the testimony OF all
past history prove undeniably that the Roman pom
uf has even been ready 10 draw the sword IN favor
of monarchy The Bishop boasts that the Chufcn

tes,ants may 90 say He says the Church has seen
TO many experiments on poor bum anIiy, that she
has no faith In panaceas. Had she any faith In her
own great experiment on st. Barthoiomew's Eve,
when at the tohng Of the vesper bell she set about
the massacre of 80 600 PIotestants and for which
Jubilee was held and solema to deum performed ID
all her churches, for "the deed 30 long expected"
v in
mos. Christian King. Has the Bishop forgotten the
te deum and the formal blessing OF Plus TX for the
noble deed performed IN Paris on the I'd OF Decem-
her, by one Louis Napoleon, by whom the noerties
of the people OF France were annihllated! One
wear eec this same Archbishop said the Church did
not recognize the night OF the people to change tneli
With our Declaration Of Independence which says
that the people always have the ghtto alter or aooi-
ish their form Of Governments Either the church
or the Declaration OF Independence Is opposed 70
Republicanism you can judge which The Bishop
iusiifes our Revolution Of l776. I.would ask what
existed TO demand that revolt which did not exist In
Rome in Italy in Aus,I!a In Spain In lo4S-or which
does not noic exist In those countries. Inc bsnop
claims that the Catholics clergy and ialty were
among the FIRST anc ardent TO join our country
men IN defense OF our rights, and, hnelng Anew
names OF high honor, he holds them up to our ad-
nil alton Certainly they were good Republicans but
were they better Republicans than MaZzin AveZZan1
and Garibaldi Did Charles Carroll actor his Church
or his county, when he put his name to the Declara-
ton of Independence Mr. Balch referred to the al
legged Catholic Mission to Canada get them to assist
the Colonies against Great Britain, but 1t was not
successful, probably because Canada was Catholic
After an allusion to the aid received from Catho
lie France, which was granted as means OF revenge
against Great Britain rather than love for religious
liberty he said after all this argument on the part OF
the Bishop prove that this is not disnctivey Prot
esant country the next step will be to assert that II
is Catholic country. Is it not time to hurl back
such contemptuous maligning of the honored dead!
What sincerity is there in all this praise Of liberty
from the Catholic prelate How long since Catholic
countries combined TO crush every germ of Repub.
Liberty How long since this Archbishop came from
the concave ofdesp0ts at Rome to begin the old
TICKS OF Jesutsm--to praise Liberty until he could
