If Professionalism proves recreant 10 her high

her merted obscurity. Popery with all its
crimes against God and man adapts itself to
the times and to circumstances, and thus
saves itself from being absorbed in the mass
of conflicting clements
The article from which the above is ex-
tracted, was published in the daily Union

omitted from the tri ,ceekly and Ueehly! why
was this! We copied the extract above soon

The above extract is \ fair sample OF the
language employed by the foreign party in
their efforts to uphold the Roman Church.
Will the people, the Protestant people of

PUBLIC OPINION ON TIE AMERICAN Plat
Fonm.-The New York Commercial Adver'
tiser, which is heightened conservative
journal, thinks that Sans platform has too
much of the pro slavery element in it for gen.
era lusc. Taken us n whole, the Advertiser
appears to like it, although it says the advo'
cacy ofhese doctrines is not confined to the
Know Nothings, but they are the sentiments
of All Americans. If this is the fact, then
they ought to signify their adhesion to the
principles by joining the organization that is
pledged to enforce them. The Advertiser
Says
A few words on the general character OF
this new party platform, emitting at present
however further nllusion to the slavery ques-
ton. With the exception pointed out 1t will
be generally pronounced unobjectional. Its
Acknowledgement of the Almighty's favor
upon the republic, its incubation of patriotic
sentiments, its maintenance Of the supremacy
of the Union, its requirements Of obedience
10 the Constitution, its avowal OF hostility TO
public aud party corruption, It's determined
resistance to the aggressive policy OF the ia,
pal church, its strong assertion OF the r'gh' OF
every man to the unrestrnined ana peaceIu.
enjoyment of his own religious opinions ana
worship, its advocacy Of reform IN the mate
rial of our National Legislature and OF the
restriction of executive patronage, us SENT
men,s on education and the use of the Bible
in the schools, its recommendation OF an open
avowal of principles, will find response IN
the breast of every true American. Not only
do we find in these Vows nothing to disap'
prove but we cordially approve them. But
then their advocacy is not confined to the
Know Nothing party. They are sentiments
common to Americans, and such rs this jour
nal and other conservative papers have again
and again promulgated and defended.
