sore, that small pieces Of bone have come
out. 1t WAS attended with the most excru-
ciating pains. In this manner she has suf-
fered without finding any relief. She was
attended by some of our best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try DR.. Towns

The PATR1oT from its geographical position,
must be provincial in its labors and must be con-
tent to follow, since circumstances will not per-

more commanding journals, it will aspire to re-
feet some little Of its own to the guiding and
giving expression to public opinion in this part Of
the country, and to defending those interests be-
meath its protection The AMERICAN PATRIOT is
devoted to the interests Of Native Americanism,
from sincere conviction on the. part Of its foun.
ders, of the truth of the doctrines, and their Pc
culiar efficacy in healing those evils under which
our country is now laboring but our prime OBJ

truth in every matter can best be gotten at by

Against this grasping spirit Of the Romish

the "jus divinum," and bravely asserted the
doctrine that all mankind since Christs coming

The claim Of exclusiveness which SO reused the
ire Of the old Reformer, generating q it docs
opinions at variance with the Republican stand
ard of civil and religious liberty is Of the essence
of the Romish system Can such 4 system
exist in harmony with freedom broad un-
qualified negative is the response Of the Arneri-
can party! All the religious freedom granted to
the Protestant sects should be secured to The Ro-
man Catholic, but nothing more. This we think,
is the American sentiment; and when the priest
forgets his mission and deserts the breviaty, the
crucifix, and the cure Of souls, for the political
arena, and thereby brings the mitre in collision
with the civil authorities of this land, he pro-
vokes a conflict with power which, though
seemingly sluggish, once aroused will not be
costly appeased .t..
Entertaining these views, we shall advocate
either total repeal of the naturalization laws, o,
a material extension of residence before natural
izatioh- Our efforts shall also be zealously di
rected, in our humble sphere to exclude foreign in
fuences from place or power in every depart
ment of the Government. Should It be our good
fortune to contribute in restoring the good shiE
of State to the guidance of honest and capable
American pilots, the consciousness Of having " rem
dered the State some service" will be our ampl,

1t has been remarked that "it is not on the
chair and tomb of Peter, but on the seat Of Con-
stantinc on the ruins of the Empire, that the
genius of the Papacy was enthroned" and there
seems to be no reason to doubt that the ecclesias
tic strength was first asserted in temporal mat
ters when Alaric sacked Rome, and the timid EN-.
peror hid himself in Ravenna, leaving the Bishop
of Rome to gather together the scattered frag-
ments of the EMPIRE and to concentrate them, il
not in name, in substance, around the Pontifical
throne From that distant day to the present
time, the grandeur of the Papacy, and the sway
of each successive Pope, has been sustained more
by political power than ecclesiastical strength and
Christian associations. Recognizing no dividing
line between temporal and political, and ecclesias
tical and spiritual rule, the policy of the "Vicars
of Chris" has been to include what they may
and stop where they must.
