Mr. Wood then proceeded to say that there were but
two phases of religion. One was Liberty and the
other was Slavery; one represented by the Papll
Church and the other, at lenst in theory, By the
Protestant Church. The Papal Church was the foe
Of Religious Liberty. They could not coeNist. The
Stuarts of Endland understood that; Napoleon the
Great and Napoleon the Little understood it. He
knew that Archbishop Hughes cOntended that it was
ADAPTED to Republic; but the prosperity of the
country owing 10 the prevalence Of Proiestansn,
not Of Pspacy. The passage OF the ChuTrh Tenure

Professionalism was that which gave liberty, which

take place. Wealth in the hands of the few;

ron why the Great Reformation paused that

tie Reformation must be entirely tolerant. He did
not belong to the American party; lie had never be
oneed 10 any secict society in lis life. lie would
give to every sect tie most complete tolerance, AMI
would defend tic rights of tie Catholic as soon az tue
rights OF the Protestant. But tins he would
say, that if the Catholic Church should be in
any way prciudiced they might thank them
their elegant and iaborous priesthood. OF the
Protestant Church one portion educating for Rome,

Slavery could stand MounOnism could stand also. II
was high time that lie Church should be progressive
and not poscriptye. He would have her tolerant
even TO the intoeran:. No man hated war of races
more than he did. No man sympathzed more deeply
with the republics in Europe than HIMSELF bat he
would say TO them that if they would be successful in
the revolution which he trusted must come, IN that
great battle Of the Lord Col Almighty which sooner
or later must be fought aud fought out, if there was
any exile there he would say 10 him that he must lay
the foundation on something other than the womout
moraliuos of tie Church Of which he had been speak
ing; and tie men who fought these battles must be
such men as fought the battles o the Commonwealth
of Eugland-iust such men rs fought the battles of
our Revolution. Let them throw away the throne
let them throw away the nobility if they pleased but
let them not throw away their God
hymn was then sung.
The Rev. Dr. BLACK of Allegheny City was intro
duced and spoke in favor of the objects Of the Union
lie investigated the difference between Protestant and
Papa countries, and found it to consist in liberty
of thought and of conscience. He excused the in
tolerance of the Puians. The great principles for
which they cxled themselves and came 10 this wilder
was federation. But fomemes great principles
were canicd too far When his father came over
from Ireland, many decent people had done, the
Captain of The ship IN which he came was drunk0rd

The Rev. Mr.. TYING of Philadelphia was called upon.
He spoke of the mode and means Of progress of Cath
olicism toward supremacy in the Republic lie had |
no doubt that Catholics were now sincere IN Their
proestations Of preference for our present form OF
Government They were, however subject TO power
greater than that of bayonetsthe slavery of the SOUL
which laid lis chains equally upon the intellect and the
religious affections. The very essence OF Romanism
was the giving up of a mans individuality. What was
true the dogma of the priest hOOd what was right
the command Of the priest. Whatever the Pope de-
clans must be done under penalty of eternal condem-
naicn. The ties If family the strongest of the human
heart yielded TO this ali-controling power. Roman
Catholics loved free ins tutions but If commanded
to vote for changing the Constitution OF the land they
would obey if they were Roman Catholics. There was
truth in the Romlsh Church, there Life III lcek
found by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson in the hand of a
mummy which was planted and terminated under the
skies OF England. So IN the Romsh Church there
was germ of truth, but it needed the influence of
Professionalism TO bring II forth into living action.
The Rev. Mr. LEO, one of the Missionaries of the
Union was then introduced and read the fourth resoIu
ton. The first thought suggested, he said that
these 200 600 600 had 200 600 Of souls destined for
eternal life or eternal death. From the day that by
the blessing of God he was induced TO abandon the
errors of the Papal Church. had been hs constant
desire TO do something toward the extension Of the
same blessing TO these 600 900, 900. The Catholics
pointed with exuliatiOn TO Catholic bookstores,
and answered the rcproaches of Pro.esianis
