The substance Of this glorious
Union Of States, is evidently fast van

the shadow Of its beautiful proportions,
whilst powerful sectarianism, is taking
possession Of the landed estate and

prerogatives secured to all alike. We
have no word Of war to proclaim to
any denomination, but would thrust
any one Of 1.-THE thousand" in the ribs.
that step out Of the soul saving limit
to build mp dangerous hierarchy
The people must be aroused from their
slumbers, and 1t is the business of the
secular press to speak out boldly on
this subject We want legislative en-
actments-I,ot to make man believe
the moon Is n,ade Of cheese, but to
put an end to the dangerous centrai-
cation Of power that is taking place in
the universal struggle for power, by
the different christian denominations
Of the day None il more dangerous
and more to be dreaded, than the
Catholic-it is an organization for this
express purpose and being such, is
lrought with the most dangerous con
sequences. We have no war to wage
against the congregation of this de

save perhaps the Ccngregaionalists,
who hold tnat each church has a light
to choose its own pastor and govern
itself.
Let us ask simple question in ref

does the church property of this city

this blind belief. In the Catholic

do not err In making the statement,

it seems to me, is not only subversive of ancient
landmarks, but hostile to tho peace, the har-
mony and the best interests of the country.
But sir, in doing this, | judged the act, and
not its author. / saw only the enormous propo-
siton, and nothing of the Senator.
The language used is strong, but it is not
stronger than the exigency required Here is
a measure which reverses the time-honored
policy Of our fathers in the restriction of Sla-
very; which sets aside the Missouri Compro-
misc-a solemn compact, by which all the ter
ritory ceded by France under the name of
Louisiana, was forever" consecrated to free
dom-and which violates, also, the alleged
Compromises Of 1880; and all this is to open
an immense Territory to the ingress of Slavery.
Such measure cannot be regarded without
emotions too strong for speech. 1t cannot be
justly described in common language. 1t is a
soulless, eyeless monster-horrid, unshapely.
and vast-ftly pictured in the verse of the
poet:
Monstrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen
adomptum,"
And this monster is now let loose upon the
country.
Allow me one other word of explanation. 1t
is true that desired that the consideration of
this measure should not be pressed at once
with indecent haste, as was proposed, even be-
fore the Senate could read the bill in which it
was embodied. | had not forgotten that the
Missouri bill, as appears from the journals of
Congress, when first introduced in December,
1919, was allowed to rest upon the table near
ly two months before the discussion commence
ed. The proposition to undo the only part of
that work which is now in any degree within
the reach of Congress, should be approached
with even a greater caution and reserve The
people have a right to DO heard on this mon
strous scheme and there is no apology for
that driving salloping speed, which shall an
ticipate their voice, and, in its consequences,
must despoil them of this right
On motion of Mr.. SEWARD,
