BRowNsoN-A jesuitical writer in the last
Era takes exception to the views advanced in
! previous article, comparing MIR. Brownson's
news in 1910 with his views in 1852. In order
o make out case he tortures the language of
he writer to mean what he did not intend,
md which no candid reader imagined he did
mean. He covertly intimates that he is Prot
slant, Tut his Jesuitical education is apparent.
The article expresses how far we are willing
to stand upon the platform of Mr.. Brownson
n 1902 viz: sue have no objection to the
'riests, so long as they continue to perform
heir peculiar functions as the ministers of
Christianity" and again: sour aim is to break
he letters of the bound and set the captive
rec; to break all oppression establish the
eign of justice which is the reign of equality
etwecn man and mans and to elevate and
all nations and individuals
This purpose does not seem to suit the
luixotic individual who objects to this plat
'rm and battles manfully against "wind-
all" of his imagination. am assured by the
one of his article, that but little of your pa
er will satisfy him, and men of similar senti-
,ents with him. He takes for granted, with
ut any evidence to show it, that you contend
hat no day should be set apart for religious
Torship, and that there ought to be no such
hing rs an outward visible church, but he
as no word of reproof for the doctrines incul-
atcd by Mr.. Brownson in 1852. He has no
ensure for the effort to exalt the chair of St.
'eter, and to exact for it universal suprem-
cy.n
"a loyal Submission and final obedience in
LII THINGS to the successor of St Peter is
he impudent demand of the Brownson of 1882,
nd his followers; and against which, this
wolf in sleeps clothing" has no word of re-
roof No-he assails the man who condemns
