LOCKER on, though not Know Nothing, thinks
very sad mistake Is made by the opposition in
calling for open tickets at city election, whilst
a tslesman stands ready TO register the names Of
all such voters.
As 10 the design Of this. there can be but one
opinion. II Ia intended TO compel all Government
employees to the support Of the nti-American
party. But II Is certainly forgotten that multudes
Of these employees are freedom, no,le-soulcd
American citizens; not the foreign minions of a
foreign Pope, unaccustomed, and many Of them
unqualified, 10 exercise the elective franchise but
proud, honorable patriotic Americans, whose
rights Of conscience are dearer than bread and
meat even coming through fat Offices.
A graf mistake, we repeat, which win lead
scores Of voters TO set at defiance and scorn a
measure, which savors of the spirit of the horrible
Inqusition. We are not In Rome but in America
Americans can be trusted. Nstive-born and
adopted Protestsns the question at issue Is not one
Of party politics and the spols but one Of prnci-
pie. Professionalism or Romanism, Bible or no
Bible, are the points submitted TO the people, and
vo fear not the result The American cause must
triumph 0BsKRvHR.

will be called upon to meet their opponents at

ertions are being made by the opposition-the
whole power Of the Federal Government is in

they were in Rome's worst days, when Italica
and Rapar werc ever in the van, plundering
and devastating the innocent and harmless
people Of every nation who would not acknowl.
edge their yoke. But day Of retribution
came, and Rome fell before the vengeance Of an
outraged world. So win Il be in this country,

To the Americans Of this city, we viii say,
be prepared for any emergency that may oc-

The Star advises Its friends to hang around
the polls after voting. Suppose every voter in
the city should follow this advice, what would
be the RESULT The polls would be blocked up
during the day, and il would be morally i'm
possible for the election to proceed quietly.
Our advice TO our fellow-cidzens is, to vote
early and return to their accustomed ayoca-
tions. II the Foreign party wish 10 breed a
disturbance, let them fight among themselves
like Kilkenny cats. They are accustomed to
such scrimmages.

Temporal Power Of the Pope.

-
Having published In our issue Of yesterday 80
much Of the address of the Roman Catholic Bish-
obs at the Conference recently held at Baltimore,
as related to the temporal power Of the Pope, we
give this morning the following reply to the posi-
tons therein assumed, which we find in the New
York Courier and Enquirer:
: But notwithstanding all this, we do assert that
claims are frequently put forward in behalf Of the
authority of the Roman See which are not in ac-
cord with the principle Of popular selfgovsrnment
and national Independence, and therefore ought
not to be favored by any true American citizen.
And We are bound to say that the jealousy to
which Catholics in their political relations are sub
ject is attributable quite much to say the least
to their own incoherence Of ideas as to the perver
sity of their opponents. Now it Is very easy for
the American prelates at Baltimore to repel the
imputation that Roman Catholics are in civil mat
tiers subject TO Papal authority; but it is not 80
easy for fair-minded men to reconcile this with the
declarations that For every Catholic at least, the
Church has an absolute supremacy, and the tenn
poral order must receive its law at least Its inter
probation from her. that Wherever the occasion
occurred, the Church asserted her power, not in
empty words only, but in deeds, to judge sover-
eigns, kings, and Caesars, to bestow or to take
away crowns, to depose ungodly rulers, and to alb.
solve their subjects from their Oatn oi aiie8lance,
declarations to be found in an American Review
accredited on its cover as excellent" by this same
Archbishop of Baltimore, this same Bishop of
Wheeling, this same Bishop of Pittsburg this same
Bishop Of Richmond, and this same Bishop of Phil
adelphia.
It is very easy for these bishops to repel the inn
putation that we are, In civil matters subject to
the Ponts authority; but 1t is not 80 easy to &C
commodate this to the avowals within the last SIX
months of the Civilta Catholica, issued at Rome
under the very eye of that same Pontff, that " as
the Church commands the spiritual part of man
directly, she therefore commands the whole man,
and all that depends man - and that, in ruling
over the spirit she rules the body rules our riches
our sciences, our affections, our interests, our as
sociations in fine, oper. n'onarchs aud their min
isters"
II Is very easy for these bishops to promulgate
that " to the General and State Governments you
ope allegiance in all that regards the civil ORDER
but It is not 80 easy to harmonic this obligation
with the averment Of this same Pontiical organ,
last November, that "ther, are no limits to the
exercise ofthe coercive power of the Church, either
in view of her means or of her ain" when the
constitution of both the General Government and
every State Government, in most absolute terms,
impose such limits.

NEW MovENENr.-A new movement has been
started in the American ranks, In New York, which
is likely to lead to important results. Acall has
been issued for public meeting at the Stuyyesant
Institute, on Monday evening next, to make an
open declaration of National American Principles
The call is signed BY J. T. Rollins VIM. g. Tisdale
and Cornelius Matthew'S and Is understood to have
the sanction Of many other influential members of
the order. The object in view is to make public
declaration that the American party does not de-
sire the exclusion from Office Of any foreigner who
is Protestant, and has no intention Of debarring
them from the benefits and blessings accruing from
the triumph Of the American cause. Open COM
munion in the camp, and an abandonment of the
principle Of secrecy" win also be urged.

To the Editor Of the Organ

To the Editor Of the Organ:
Win you permit me, through your columns, to
sound the alarm bell into the ears Of our friends
throughout the city, and TO let them know that
Monday next will be the. election dayf Let me adj
dress them as Americans, and, as such, to come to
the rescue Our country Is being seized upon by
foreigners fresh made voters, from the dild coun-
trie, and with Gothic hands they laying violent
hold upon the sacred scroll Of the Constitution |;
and, need not tell YOU, fellow Americans, that the
two old parties have been uniting with them In
Virginia Remember, then, that "eternal vigil
lance Is the price Of liberty" Do not remain su.
pinely then away from the polls, and rest beneath
the outrageous folds Of the tree Of liberty, whilst
the fierce serpent of foreignism and demagoguism
Is sapping the very foundations Of our liberty with
his deadly and disgustfnl hngs.
Whilst we would allow all our naturalized citi-
zens the full privileges Of our most favored laws,
we should, at tho same time, guard with Argus-eye
the balot-box. See that no dead men vote See
that no living one vote twice on the same papers; ;
see that they have been In the country FIVE years,
and not pass upon mere declaration Of citizen
ship and such other cautions rs are usual In the
case Of those Americans, (save the mark y who vote
against US.
; But let us respect all who have been in the
country bona fdely Eve yesrs for We seek to enact
no er post fdcto idso but TO faithfully let the statu
quo Of our laws alone, until an honorable repeal
and an extension OF the term Of naturalization to
twenty years-with prospective bearing Of
course. It Is for this We 6ght; II is to render it
glorious and honorable as in the days Of ancient
Rome, to be called an American citizen. For,
with great price obtained this freedom said
the Roman Governor TO that great Apostle to the
Genties Then, Americans, 70 the breach Once
more let us fight on, fight ever" let us place our
fag-staff upon their battlements let us leap the
trenches, and let us beard the lion In his den"

Court-house to-day, there would be an earthquske
In their political opinions To behold gangs Of half
civilized foreign Catholics led up by overseers' en-
ercising authority over them, and paying all sx-
penses Of the occasion and to witness their CONVEX
sion into citizens of the United States that glorious
title OF dignity and honor and to know that this
act Is but the prelude to thescenes ofnext Monday
on which day they are to be marshailed TO the
polls, to control, and overpower, if possible, the
opinions and wishes Of the native-born American
population enough to rouse the indignation Of
every man, no matter to what party he may belong,
nor how temperate may be his disposition.
We denounce the whole system Of naturalization,
as at present practised and used, an outrage on
American rights. No stronger illustration Of that
truth can be offered than the fall Of Virginia nao
the condition Of an Irish State government. Tho
President Is resolved, by the aid Of foreign Catho-
lies and government employees, to bring this i'm

dictates of his own conscience, irrespective of un-
due persuasion on the one side, or official coercion
on the other. Our institutions solemny guarantee
to him this privilege, for independence Of action
lies at the root Of these institutions. would
therefore remind all persons who may be in the
employ of the general government, whose predi-
lections favor the rise and spread of the American
party, to fulfil this imperative duty, without re-
gard to the threats of their superiors in office. Do
not be deferred from voting, for fear Of the ex-
posure of the open ballot the nquistion Of self
