power of offence or defence, partakes not OF
the spirit of Heaven, but OF Earth, and Is
earthly, sensual and devilish in its workings
and will result in strife aud blood.
1t will not do to bring us the objection
What! shall we quietly submit to papal in
vaSion? shall we submit to the subverSion Of
Professionalism, and the liberal institutions OF
this country? We have no fear of the sub
version of Professionalism, if she viii behave
herself, and keep her hands free from blood
as to tho institution of the cout Try, they
are in more danger from the rampant spirit
of prescription, and the curse Of an offended
Deity because of oppression, than from any
other causc-but if the ark of State requires
steadying, let us have a care who they are
chat in mad haste thrust out the unauthorized
hand, least that hand be withered.
It Is with a shudder we see the advent OF
those distressing scenes, and heart-rendrng
Outrages, that have marked the history OF Ire
land for years past. A war of races highly
embittered 10y religious biSOtry, has been the
curse of that unfortunate country. The Saxon
has presented the sword in one hand and the
Protestant faith in the other, and demands that
the Milesian becomes a convert or submit to
many oppressive dissabilties-the Milesian
properly revolts from that system of CONVEX
sion, and can see nothing IN the religion of his
Saxon enemy that is worthy of his admira-
ton or love, but thinks he sees therein an en-
CINE of oppression, and consequently shut his
heart against the truth, and clings with
fonder hold to the system of errors for which
he is thus prescribed, and to the priests of
that system. But the evil does not stop there;
asystem Of armed protection must be thrown
around this armed Professionalism, and hence,
we have the Orange lodges organized through
out that cOuntry-they are secret political as
sociations of armed men, bound by solemn
oaths to defend the Protestant faith, and the
Constitution of Great Britain-then comes
their antagonists, the Ribond lodges, likewise
secret, oath bound bands of armed men formed
to defend the Catholic faith. Such are the Sc
cret orders of Ireland and their objects, and
many have been the acts in this drama Of
their strife that will compare with the Louis
vile massacre; such are the political societies
Of Ireland, which have Theoretically sealed
the Irish mind against the truth, and makes
the Catholic church of that land the strongest
citadel of Rome in Europe and constitutes it
a Papal Sebaslopol to the Protestant world.
Now permit me to inquire with a sad heart
made sad by the circumstances Of last Mon
day-the glare of burning houses having
hardly faded from the eye; the ring of muir
derous firearms, fitting in the brain; and
the brutal threat, ard cruel, cruel Jest of the
lawless youths, who have just tasted blood,
and vet feels himself secure in the midst OF
his sworn supporters-still grating on our cars,
together with tie angry scowl of the maddened
foreigner-permit US to ask, in a temper OF
mind produced by such circumstances-Are
we prepared to transfer this European system
of prescription, aud the so-called religious in
! fuences of such nations as Ireland, to this
country and give permanency to those fac
tons founded on race and religion? May
God preserve us from the calamity. And let
ministers Of Christ forbid it. And let all
good men unite in driving the curse from the
land. j. MITCHELL.

GT Mr.. HENDRICKS of Indiana has been
appointed Commissioner of the General Land
/ Office at Washington, in the place of Hon.
John Wilson, removed because he was in
| favor of "Amercans ruling America" This
dastardly prescription of American patriots to
promote the Irish and Dutch will fall heavily
on its defenders very soon.-b0rt Wayne
/ Times.
The rabid canine of the Times is only
equalled in his malevolence by his gross
! ignorance He rcars, foams and charges like
man without reason-and all about a mat
ter of which he is wholly ignorant. He say:
that Mr.. WILSON was displaced from the
Land Office because he was in favor o.
'.Americans ruling America" Because, il
other words, he was a Know Nothing. Well
il he ,0as Know Nothing, and acted up to
the secret sPying, reasonable PRINCIPLES o
that order, the President did an act Of justice
to the country in removing him. But the
charge Of the lines that Mr.. HENDRICKS is
foreigner, Is as false as it is silly, and reflects
no great credit upon the intelligence of tn,
editor of that paper. Mr.. HENDR1cks is
natius IHdimTaH, gentlemen Of integrity anc
high moral worth, pure patriot, devoted tC
his countrys true interests. Not the sneak
ing, midnight plotter, who schemes treason
against his country, or dissatisfaction an,
