What would the metropolitan organ OF the
Democracy do without us2 Within the last
forty-eight hours it has devoted dozen arti-
cles-positively dozen-to our use and benefit.
And its tone, while doing this, is SO courteous,
SO gentlemanly, 50 argumentative. so conclu-
sive! 1t charges US with "a lie" only once;
with "endorsng shameful talsehood" but
once; with ''base and wilful fabrication of the
truth" no more than once; with frauds" not
more than twenty times; with "disreputable
devices" scarcely more often; and with less
specific crimes and frailties almost too fire.
quently for our powers Of computation 1t
"pies up the agony" through many columns.
and exhausts itself in an effort to bury us under
an avalanche of words. We are more sorry
for the Union than for ourselves; for abuse,
like wit, is potent only when pointed. Elabora-
ton is fatal to it.
If the Union must look to this journal for
topics, why does it overlook two or three inter-
estng queries which we have printed again and
again? By what mishap has it failed to notice
the inquiry concerning Mr.. SouLE's receipt of
Senatorial pay while engaged in electoneering
for General PIERcE2 Or the inquiries touch
ing Mr.. MERIwETHER? Or the oft repeated
wish to see certain suppressed letters of Gene
raj PlERcE2 Or the manifest anxiety to know
its own views in relation to the public lands
and internal improvements Or the natural
solicituds for its safety an ally Of sectional
lists whom it has denounced, and who have de-
nounced it as unworthy of confidence and
respect2
We will not add to the interrogatories to-
day. AS they stand, they are enough to afford
material for single issue Of the Union, and
we have an ample store in reserve for its flu
ture supply. We protest, however, against
being expected to furnish topics for our con-
temporary unless we are also permitted to Offer
word of advice in reference to its manners
1t is difficult, we are aware, to restrain paper
which mistakes hard words for strength, and
confounds columns of words with arguments
Sill, we submit, that our contemporary should
call its neighbors liars not oftener than once q
week, instead Of daily; and that it should be
content with pronouncing them scoundrels, i'm
pastors, and mendicants once in every sheet
instead of in every article.
We offer both the subjects and the sugges.
ton with great humility, and beg that the
Union will condescend to take them into con
sideratiop,

The Keystone State.

The Union is confident that Pennsy lvania
will give a triumphant majority to PIERCE.
Four years ago it was equally sure that the
State would prove Democratic, as is manifest
from such articles as the following, which we
cut from the semi weekly issue of September
20, ls48:
"THE OLD KEysToNE.-Is there, can there be,
the least for cavil about the result Of the cleo
ton in this saunch old key of the arch?
1.-The boisterous claims of the Wings (and what
don't they claim') would lead one to suppose that
they made large calculations upon what that rene
gade, Wilmot. was likely to accomplish among
the rock built Democracy Of that ancient repubi-
can bulwark. Pennsylvania has but once faltered
or wavered. The roaring hurricane Of 1910 swept
over her with it's coon skins and cider barrels. and
casEied itby sX h9Rd!sds; bat the good old ship
storm in safety and triumph. She will do so again
Pennsylvania doubtful! 1t cannot be- II is a stig.
ma upon her good name, libel upon her charac-
ter to pretend it-and those who venture to indulge
in such idle whims will be compelled to laugh at
their own credulity and folly in the 'ides of No
vember.' Fraud and fasehood have too often
been driven from oothold in the canvass there to
look for any thing now but utter defeat and
overthrow"
TAYLoR's majority in this "ancient republic
can bulwark" exceeded $4,000. The Union
should remember its false prophecies, and be
modest.
Freesoil WILMoT, denounced in 1913 as a
"renegade," is now actively engaged in the
canvass for PIERCE.

From the Concord Nv. H. Statssman.
To the Sons OF the " Green Islc."


Whereas article appeared in the New Hamp-
shire Patriot, dated ut Concord, August IL, 1862,
over the signatures Of thirty six Catholics Of this
town, many of whom, we are credibly informed
knew nothing of their names baing used until they
in print, representing that they and Catholics
OF New Hampshire generally, feel deeply indebted
to General Pierce for his support In and out Of the
Constitutional Convention, to the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution removing the Anti. Cath.
olic Test therefrom; and whereas no credit 10 due
in this par icuar TO General Pierce, the party in
this State whose candidate he s for the Presidency,
it is deemed proper to put forth the following paper
We, Catholic citizens of Concord and vicinity,
feel that are wrongfully marked for prescription
in matters political, when the spirit ofthe age is ia
vorable elsewhere to religious liberation; and we
think the party in power in this State has shown
an indifference to our rights highly censurable,
inasmuch as no honest efforts have been made by
them to remove the impediment which bars Catho-
lies from holding, under the State government,
places of profit, honor, influence, and responsi-
blity; and we have yet TO learn that General
Pierce, who solicitous to obtain the votes
of people of faith for the high office he seeks,
has ever uttered word in our favor, save just at
the close of a Concord town meetngssin 1852,
when the question had already been decided against
US in the State, and also in Concord tteel{.
In our estimation, he has done nothtnG TO merit
our support. Indeed, in 1885 bis OWN USFty in the
State Legislature passed law depFiS3Bg unnatu-
ralized citizens of what little right OF suffrage

standard established by Wing Senators.
In each aspect, therefore, the contrast is dis
advantageous to the Democratic economists.
