Jcsuitism and Homeopathy.

FIR VrIrcH, Esq., Of Maryland, is general agent

Jcsuitism and Homeopathy.
We administered small dose Of medicine to
our sick patient, the Washington Union, last
week, the effect Of which was, for the time,
alarming TWAS small black powder, called
the .esuits Oath, which completely Frustrated
tho nervous system Of our patient, and subject
cd Us TO the imputation Of having administered
impure drugs
We take occasion now, in vindication Of our
professional character, to show that we pro-
cured the medicine from an apothecary Of the
highest order, and that the bad effects thereof
upon our patient resulted from the morbid con-
daion Of his internal uiscera AS our readers
may not all understand professional lingo, we
viii give the rest in plain English.
TO proceed We copied the "Josuit's Oath"
from a valuable work, Of established character,
entitled, Lectures on The Prophecies, By
George .Jtnbins, D. d., President Of Mani
Unipeysity, Oxford, Ohio" This work was
published by j. M. Campbell 4 Co., No. SO
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, in 1874, and
tho oath may be found at page 1874
The same oath may be found in work en-
titled Illustrations Of Popery,' page 1856.
II is also found in various other works Of I'M
doubted authenticity. It has been published
and re-published in newspapers and periodicals
for many years, and never yet denied by any
man who occupies position emitting his de-
NAL to confidence
Several persons within the last half century,
who were originally and professedly Jesuits,
and who have recanted and repented Of their
iniquities, have, over their own signatures, and
in public lectures, confirmed the accuracy Of
the oath, as we have copied it.
If occasion requires il, we shall pile proof
upon proof to establish the genuiness Of the
copy we have given to the public. OF course
u will be denied. Jesuitism would cease to be
Jcsuitism, II it were not to deny the accuracy
Of the copy. We believe il to be genuine, and
so believing, we shall maintain its truth.
We now copy from the same work, Juakins
on the Prophecies, page 100, a portion Of the
oath Of a Catholic bishop:
al win DO faithful and obcdie,a TO ST. Peter the
Apostle and to the holy Roman Church, and to
our lord - Pope -- and to his successors ca
noncally coming in.n aHeretics, schis-
matcs and rebels to our lord or his aforesaid
cessors, 4 ,ein to the utmost Of my poecer perse-
cute and oppose
This oath was ordained by Pope Clement
VIII. (Soe Barrow--Popc's Supremacy
The oath Of the Jesuits binds them to main
tain the power Of the Pope, ITO depose hereti-
cal kings, prinoes, States, Commonwealth, and
Governments, and to do all in their power to
ertirpote the heretical Protestants doctrine,
and to destroy all their pretended pouers, spi.
ritual or otherwise"
The Catholic Bishops oath binds him to
obedience to the Pope and to "pcrsecutc
Hcretics" to the extent of his power These
are the doctrines and purposes to which Jesu-
it's and Roman Catholic Bishops are srora.
Now, the question arises, does the Pope
himself and do his Jesuit minions and his
Bishops, intend TO perform what they have
promised and sworn to doY To say they do
not 30 intend, is TO accuse them Of falsehood
and Of perjury If they do intend II, then in
deed our fears are not groundlcss in reference
10 their vast increase in power and numbers.
But do they intend itp Is it true or false
that Popery aims at universal temporal and
ecclesiastical power in the United States 7
We shall answer this important question
in the very words Of one Of the authorized
and recognized erpoundcrs Of the views and
purposes Of his Holiness, Pope Pho Mono j
win our readers credit Professor Brownson,
who has within the present year received
the most signal proofs Of the affectionate
gratitude of the Pope, and who now occupies
the highest place in his confidence Ifnot,
they "would not believe, though one were to
rise from the dead"
