suppression OF the Protestant chapel in Rome.
This may he thought inteeranl, but when,
We would ask, did we ever profess to pe toler-
ant Of Protestnntism, or favor the doctrine
that pfctes;antism ought to be tolerated! On
the contrary, we nate Proiestantis,h--we de-
test it with our whole heart Bnd soul, and we
pray that our aversion to it may never de-
crease. We hold it meet that in the Eter-
nal City no worship repugnant TO God should
be tolerated, and we are sincerely glad that

RELIGIOUS Liberty, in the sense Of lib,

hepherd of the Valley
The liberty Of heresy and unbeheft Is not
a natural right. All the rights OF the soctS
have or cun have are derived from the State,
and rest on expediency. As they have in
their character Of sects' hostile 10 the true
religion, no rights under tho law OF nature
or the law OF G d, they are neither wrunsed
nor deprived oC liberty if the State refuses
to grant them any rights at all.
