The Union, under the head Of The Re-
vengs of the Prosecuted" argues to show that
the English laws against Catholicism have
done much, indeed, to injure the cause OF
Protestant. IN, ard to strengthen the church
of Rome, The editor also praises the efforts
Of the Siste.s Of Charis5 while their religion
IL being made in this country an object Of bit
ter persecution, saying in conclusion:
"It is q singular coincidence that the Sis
tsIs Of Charity have their establishments in
those very States which have been must ac-
cursed by the modern crus ade against their re-
ligion. The following list is taken from the
latest work published on the subject:

thusasm, without being ct all disturbed bv
the threatsred consequences Of their fulai-
