this resolution.
Like the resolution 10 "crush out"

rccoil upon themselves.
This article Is already too long. but
we viii add that Il is remarkable fact
which cannot be disputed. that a large
majority Of the liquor sellers in the
land belong to the Catholic Church.
and many Of them are members Of
the secret order OF Jesuits. So far.
every triumph Of the Know Nothings
has promoted, indirectly. the cause Of
prohibition. and wounded. directly.
the Democratic party. which has SO
unfortunately espoused the demands
OF Romanism, both in oppositionto free
schools. and in favor Of free whisky.
We close for the present, by giving
a few extracts from Catholic papers
to show that there is more cause for
this anti.Jesuit organization than many
are aware of. The Political Cathol-
icism in Canada, which will do for a
sample Of the political maneuvering
Of the priests in the United States, al
lowing for the difference in the two
governments, is set forth distinctly in
the "Catholic Citizen Of June LIST,
published in Toronto:
"The declaration OF the Catholic
body, through the Institute. presided
opsr By he head Of Me Church, leaves
no room for doubt rs 10 the action
which Catholics must take il the pres
ent Ministry do not comply with their
present demands. AS necessary
consequence to this, il follows that no
Catholic can, consistently with the
duty which he owes TO his Church.
pledge himself to support any man or
measure. ill the next session OF Parlia-
ment shall have decided the friendship
or hostility Of the parties at present
in power.
| In the meantime, Catholics should
not be idle, but should diligently be-
stir themselves in ascertaining correct
ly and organizing their strength.
Catholics should, however, bear this
steadily in mind, that without the
closest union they can never hope to
realize what may fairly be expected
from them should they but record their
votes as one, setting aside al minor
considerations, and losing sight Of all
shades Of political opinion which might
tend TO disunite them. In the major
| ity Of the constituencies Of upper Can
ada IL would be useless for Catholics
10 expect 10 return members OF their
own body, but. with few exceptions,
Msy can turn the scale ia al, and in
some they can and must return Cath
olics."
The Boston Pilot pretends to be q
great enemy Of secret organizations
on which topic IL discourseth thus;
1--WE cannot meet the Know Moth
Iings on their own ground, because The
Church forbids secret organizations
AS to the right Of defending ones OWL
life. family and property. there Is nc
question. The natural law, and every
other law, allowing it. But, stand by
and you will see this Know Nothing
ism fall to pieces from internal causes
of dissolution"
And yet, in the same paper, 27tl
ult. the editor says:
1.-THE Bee says that the Order 0
Jesuits exists in this country, and j
in flourishing condition Yes, an'
ii will exist When onr contemporar,
and its supporters will have gone 4
the tomb Of the Capulets."
Now. everybody Of ordinary intelli
gence. every reader of history is awaf
that the "0rder Of Jesuits" is sec re
politico-religious society, and yet tn
Boston Pilot is in favor Of, and proba
! bly, member Of this secret society
The truth is, he knows its power, an
further, that nothing but society Q
similar character on a Dem ocrati
basis can paralyze the influence Q
Jesuitism. 1t would seem that III
Catholic Church only allows such sc
cret organizations or societies as wor
under its jurisdiction and control.
Il As to ourself, we are neither
Know Nothing, nor Say Nothing
. a Have Nothing nor Do Nothing, ft
we will take the liberty of looking inf
, matters, and saying what we please 0
all questions that relate to the welfal
r Of our Government.
