prejudice against Catholics and have for ages
kert up constant warfare upon the aud that

gence OF candor by denying it
We have been reiuc,sntly drawn into this

the editor Of the +" Observer" We hope his
good sense will sdmonish him to drop it, and to
turn his attention to subjects which will b.
more be Eeficial 10 the community and more pro
Ii able To himself.
We have not assailed the English people II
this country, as body, bot merely those who
