The Boston Pilot, Catholic paper and thu
organ of the Irish in A America, administers the
following severe rebuke to the Whis press of
the Country for its shameless attempts to array
sectarian prrjudices, in the present political
canvass. ltis most scathng rebuke and richly
deserved:
ALARMING PoPIsu TENDENcIEs.-H appears
that "a large portion of the American Protest
ant community has become virtuously and most
savagely popish By some odd chance the
persons who are infected in this way belong tn
one powerful section of the political world =
We recommend this matter 20 the carncs. con-
slderation of our friends Of the Christian Times
and .4Hiance, for il really wears an alarming
appearance. If political parties, in year OF grace
1852, are trying TO make Catholic interests a
great issue IN their appeal to this "Protesiant
Nation for votes, what will they not do in 1862
At the rate of the present march of Popery into
political consideration, it is likely that in 1856
the cries will be in favor of the downfall OF
Professionalism, and of the building OF two pala-
ces for the Pope, or for his representative, one
at Washington and another at the North
Horace Greeley, Judging from the increasing
strength of his newly awakened zeal, will be
likely to build a third palace of the savings of
the Tribune. In fact, we ourselves begin to be
little alarmed, and, although we are Papist,
we think this sudden growth of Pop,st, sen,i-
ment ought TO be checked promptly Nobody
knows when, where or how it will end Be-
tore, 1856, the Protestant ministers may be
coming to US, and offering us their meeting
houses, at ruincus discount from the original
prices. And the result may be very different
We do not like to caress the strange dog who
has come to us, for, although he is handsome,
he may bite. We do not like to water this fresh
gourd, it rprang up in night, and in another
night it will wither. We do not like TO try that
mushroom,-it does not look like mushroom,
it grew too quickly, and it smells like toad
stool. Take it away
Thoughts like these occur to us while wit.
Messing the excessive tenderness of Greeley
q Co., for Catholics in general and for the
Catholics of New Hampshire in particular. This
tenderness is newly born baby, and IT is not
baptized. We are afraid oft. A few months
hence, and the baby will be- buried for tour years
more, that is until the next Presidential election,
when Uotcs will be wanted. Three months
hence Greeley will be making merry over
his cunning trick for entrapiny Catholic votes,
las is most probable he will be cursins the foxes
who were not to be caught in his trap. l.. fact,
although we were deteamind to expose this trick
for catching votes because it ,oas a trick-be-
cause it was planned for our votes, and because,
the whole New Hampshire story, as told us for
the sake of our votes was not only trick, but
n most dishonest one, yet we were moved by
two other considerations, either Of which would
have snfficed to point out our duty rs editor OF
Catholic paper. We have named one-it is
the crcumstaces that this Popish feeling grew
up suddenly and just at the election. The
thing has been tried at every English, Irish and
American election, and it never fails to deceive
some unthlnking voters. IF they could only see
what is passing in The minds of the Greeeys,
instead of giving them a vote, they would give
them poker
