pound is an exaggerated estimate Of the preten-
tious claims Of the Roman Pontif TO excommnni-
cate and damn every son Of Adam, peasant and po-
teDtate alike, whom he chooses, aud in appre
hendiDg the consequences of such q! ,rmng pre-
tensions. They believe that the Ignorance of
the age of Thomas a-Becket will return, and that
we shall see future President cripgingly hold
the stirrup of o future legate Of PaPAl dOnia-
ior; while We regard such anticipasions with ut-
ter ir credulity. They propose to work cure for
such probable future attempts on the part Of the
old gentleman in Rome q. domination over this
Rekublic, by Withholding the RICH. of citizenship
from all members of the Latin Church coming
from Europe, until they have been here twenty
one years, and by opening general war OF
prescription upon everybody adhering to the Ro-
man Catholic faith. Now, il we concurred ever
60 FULLY with them 10 regard to the assurdity of
tie general belief of Catholics 10 the infsllibility
of their Chuuch and it's head We should not take
their way to beat that absurdity out of them.
On the contrary, we should think their policy
was the tue method to fix the Catholics in their
errorr. Our plan ia to open the windows Of
Heaven ard let in sunshine and warmth upon
all benigbted souls Instead Of excluding Cath
olics and their children from association with
the Protestant Influences Of the new and exube-
rant flow of ideas upon religion and politics rife in
shis republican country and driving them by per-
secution to hateful isolation and snssgonism,
we souid cordially invite them to participation
in the blessings We enjoy. We would not
force Il eD to take liberty aud liberation at the
point o. the bs1 onet, but We would win them to
their voluntary embrace, by an exhibition of their
grace snd beauty
It is high time TO outsrcw these frivolous
fears of Catholic domination, time TO kno that
light can be let into msn In q better mode
than by setting them on fire, either at the
stake or elsewhere; time to cast the hereditary
terors of Rome behind US, and rise to full ap-
precistion of the influence Of liberty and intel-
eeucs streaming in upon the human mind from
the accumul ,ted lights of civilization.
TWO NEW REASONS FOR SEEING CUBA.
The Island of Cuba has, for thirty years past
been gradually becoming place of resort for
ibvslids from the United States affected with pull.
uoIary consumption. The fsigbtfal extent to
which that disease prevails among US everybody
knows. II decimates the population of our
Northern States in every fifteen years, one tenth
of all the deaths originating in this cause alone;
nor is il much less fatal even in the Southern
States. This is ffightfal mortality; but an
other spidemic-s sort of conaumption-hss 70.

the Northern States, but every indication shows
that it is destined to sweep the South also. The
