For the Journal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I noticed in the last num-
Der of your paper, en- extract from the in
structions Of the Pope, to Archbishop
HUGHEs, Of New York, in which this Rom
ish Bishop is directed to "sprsad Roman
ism in Amerieo," and to "CRUsH OUT Re.
PUBLICGNIsM."
It has been becoming daily more and
more evident to the people Of the United
States, what were the ultimate intentions
of the Pope. Cardinals and Bishops. Of the
Romish Church toward establishing them
selves in our country. Jesuilism is being
prescribed 10 the Eastern Continent. The
great power which they have for ages
maintained over the governments. rulers
and people in Europe, is being wrested from
them,--and they must seek other fields to
exercise their dominion. AS has well been
said, ''If Europe is wrecked, America is
the only plank for their salvation" The
rope kuOhhB AniS W 20 hoo duhugf was
the more urgent in his directions to the
Jesuit HUeBEs. that nothing should be left
undone by him and all other faithful lead
ers, which would tend TO strengthen their
influence and power on American soil.
VIII the American people thus tamely
submit to the calling chains which Plus
TX, is forging to bind them with Chains
which bind the soul! To take from US our
free-agsncy, and make of man, created 10
Gods own image, mere tool in the hands
of the Bishops and Priests? Be it then
the highest aim of an American citizen, to
watch with an eagle eye every advance Of
this willy foe. Free men, free thought.
and free speech, can only live and flourish
under the influence and teachings Of the
Protestant religion. Catholicism is antag.
ouistic 10 freedom in thought, speech and
actions. 1t would "crush out Republican
ism" in America, and make her sons all
slaves. I. r. II.

st. Louis, April 2l.
On Saturday last two hundred citizens
of Platte county assembled at PaTkYille
and attacked the office of the LuD1inGry,
charged with Free Sell prOcliVities, and de-
siroyed the fixtures, and threw the press
into the Missouri river. The editor was
absent at Kansas. The mob seized the
Junior editor, Mr.. Patterson, and would
have tarred and feathersd him but for the
interference Of his wife. Resolutions we're
passed declaring the LEnatnary nuisance,
and the editors traitors; and if they found
them there in three weeks, they would
throw them in the river; if they went to
Kansas they would follow and hang them.
They would attend TO all other Free Soil
ers; and would suffer no Methodist preach
er TO preach in that county; also. tar and
feathers for the first offence, and bang
them for the second.
