understanding Your fascinated by the gescu-
auon of the Italian and your does not pay homage
to the genius of the American. Your does not
pay homage TO the nnumerable agencies Of enlightenment
which the pulpit the schoohouse the press the forum
the whole atmosphere Of American life provide for defeat
ing the most ortuous Vaccinations of the Jesuit as well
as the most God-dehing rawlings of the nfdel Like all
that is divine, those influences silent and you do not
how they work. But like all that is ungody
men and intolerance boisteous and noisy and thus
have for champions all those whose minds eyes shut
who blind and who do not hear unless they hear
a noise.
The talk about the oath OF allegiance TO the Pope is
sheer nonsense If the old himself had the slightest
notion Of the validity of that oath the first thing he would
have done when he fled in ls49 would have been call
his assistance all his subjects or if they had cared
about him, they would have rushed TO Rome
his rescue.
You libel your American intellectually by repeating the
trash of Italian quack-eoquence.
Whole armies of Gavazzis and billions of know-noth-
ings may shake heaven and earth with their umnations
against Popery may deluge the land with the blood of
your native and adopted citizens and the Church of Rome

The talk about Americans having twenty-one years TO
wait before they have right to vote, is simply absurd
since babies and boys cannot be expected have any such
right foreigner Of twen-one years of age who
here has to wait five years the native American of twenty
one years has not 10 wait, and may vote at once.
America for Americans is OF the vorite cries of
your order and sounds strangely in country where the
only natives the Indian and where all the are
compound Of the different European nationaes. The
traces of Dutch grandpapas and Irish Scotch grand
mothers not easily oberated your philosophers
make you believe and experience shows that German pa-
cidy Irish versatility French levity and English selfish

The wise founders OF the republic were well aware that
political inequality and religious intolerance are the in
separblc companions OF depotsm and they took good
care therefore TO make Hpltcs equality and re gious lib

again the old cry OF intolerance YOU claim privileges Tor
the families who happened to come here first and thus You
engender upon this free soil the Old Worlds spirit Of caste
and intolerance which s SO dangerous IN IT'S action that it
destroys all fah III Heaven and all good Will amongst
