station, is like person on the top of a
mountain-eycry thing appears small to
him, and he appears small to every body.
Although it has been asserted a thous
and times, that the design of the Ameri-
can organization is not to interfere with
any of the religious rights and privileges
of members of the Catholic communion,
yet the declaration is still persisted in, by
corrupt politicians in order thereby to
manufacture political capital for their own
special benefit, that the design of the move
is to extcrminatc. the whole Catholic sect,
at the point of the bayonet. TO show
something of the feeling existed in the
minds of Catholics against those who op-
pose the political aspect of their church
organization, we give the following most
beautiful production from the New York
Times:
"SLGHTLY EXcITED.-The following
cpistle seems to have been written by some
one who has taken offence at something in
the Times. We give it publicity as an
act of justice to the author, and hope his
feelings will oc soothed thereby:
TO the Ea'tor Of tile Ner- York Times:
Ny attention has been directed to a let
ter in the Times Of Friday last, written at
Rome, bya contemplate libcllcr who calls
himself Nick Pinto, a near relation, l
suppose, of a distinguished parsonage
known as Old Nick. Will you allow me
to inquire if you cannot find enough to
fill your newspaper with, in abusing that
great and good man the patriot Pierce
in clarifying nggerdom, and what not, but
you must descend to lower depths still, by
uniting with Brooks, and such damnable
hellhounds, in covering with your slime
the most ancient, the most populous, the
most holy, and the truest church that ex-
lists, or ever did or can exist on the face of
Gods earth? Has this once glorious Re-
public become indeed so bestial, so damna-
bly, depraved, and so blasphemously and
and outrageously and unblushingly degen-
Grated, that ones holy religion must be
held up to rilicule for the purpose Of ca
tering to its appetite? Now, Sir, be warn
cd in time-thorc is a point beyond which
patience ceases to he a virtue. Beware Of
the fate of the philstinos. Remember
Sampson, how in order to avenge him Of
; his enemies he destroyed their temple and
buried them in its ruins. The sword ot
Damocles is suspended over this Republic
and as sure as there is God in heaven i
these sneers against his Holy Yicegercnt
and the Church's holy institutions are per
sisted in much longer his people will be
come aroused, the thread that now hold
that dreadful sword will be severed, ant
, then wO. wo. wo. to all your boastcc
greatness, and like every other Republic
! that ever cursed the world, the historian
q will hold you up to the scorn and contcmp
E and ridculc of mankind. Once more
Sir, ] warn you to beware. We now wis
you personally no harm, but your paper,
c am told, is somewhat extensively read
y. and, perhaps, you exert an infuenc
o through it; therefore, I hope you wi
l. heed the warning of one who knows VIII;
l. he asserts. I write this hastily and wit
no view to have it printed, but if you a,
Il a gentleman, if you are patriot, if yc
y are a man, for Gods sake be warned
n the consequences before it is too late, an
rs cease insulting high Heaven throuah tho
W pure and holy men, to whom alone lie h
Il entrusted the keys that can open the cat
or m of Paradise to the fallen sons of Ada
As for the pitiful wretch, Nick Pinto, W
le wrote you from Rome, no stronger arg
m ment could be urged to show the neccssi
ut of purifying virtues Of the lnquisiton th
he is afforded by his most damnablc lettt
he and trust in season its efficacy will
ID tried upon him before he escapes from t
e- Holy City he now pollutes with his din
,c- presence.
