CARLoTINA AND THE sASFEDEsrI: or, Night with
the Jesuits at Rome. By Edmund Fanene. New
york John s. Taylor
The aim of this book is to show that there
are but two great powers in the world-the
one representing the past with its attendant
burden of ignorance, crimes, and miseries, call
ed Catholicism, or Romanismj. the other, con-
tending for the present. and overshadowing the
future, known as Republication, or Liberty, or
Professionalism. Its scenes are laid during the
Italian struggles for liberty in Is4s, and are
wildly depicted 1t illustrates in strong light
the struggle now going on between religious
despotism and liberty.
We hold these truths to be selfevident
that all men are created equal that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; that among these, are life liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. Men of 1776.
eve, the people of the United States, in or
der to form q more perfect UNION, establish
JUSTICE, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings Of LIBERTY
to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and
establish this CONSTITUTION for the United
States of America"
Congress shall make no law
abridging the freedom Of speech or of the
press"
"No person shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property, without due process of
law
"The enumeration in the Constitution of GER
tain rights shall not be construed to deny or
disparage others retained by the people"
There is one day of the year in which the
principles enunciated above, obtain universal
approval. On the Fourth of July-the politi-
cal Sabbath of the year reverence is had
to the principles upon which the Republic is
founded. The day was generally celebrated
by public and private parties, and we observe in
the oratiQps delivered less grandiloquents speech
making than usual, and more calls upon the
people to select men known for their honesty
and integrity, both in public and private life,
to serve them, than mere political hacks, desti-
tute of these qualities The only security for
the Republic, or for any Republic, is in the vir-
tue and intelligence of the people; and the
men who sap this foundation by mean and
sordid trickery or by adroit chicsnery, to Be-
cure selfish ends, or personal advancement,
should be discountenanced, and better men Sc
lected to fill their places. We owe it to God,
to posterity, and to the country to maintain
the principles of Liberty bequeathed us by our
fathers, and we trust none will be found want
ing in this duty.
