Wholesale classification. those who in.
dulge in such practices could be made to blush
by what would make an honest hearted man
fee his country, the rebuke which Barringer
has accorded to Rayner would be apt to put
stop to the Wholesale manufacture of ISLANDERS
on the President, the Cabinet, and the Catho-
hes, which, just now, make all the staple of
Know Nothing argument. The Buffalo Com
y1src'al advertiser, emphatically an ''all-the-
decency" paper not long since, is quite as
mendseious and little more adroit than
kayner We, in its efforts in the same line; as
1t takes care to avoid referring to particular
individuals as having been guilty Of the enor-
mites it charges on the bishops, priests, and
members of the Catholic church. 1t inyents
a story, biased, evidently, on the statements
of Rsyner, which Barringer pronounees false,)
pretending to give an account Of incidents in
the last Presidential election, in Pennsylva-
MIA, wherein the bishops, elcrgymen. and
members Of the Catholic church are represent
ed to have entered into conspiracy to defeat
General Scott, which il says they carried out
by secretly voting against him to a M an--Cath.
olics from the border counties of New York
going over and voting in Pennsylvania Now.
the truth is, and the Buffalo Silver Grey organ
knew it we'll, the treachery which Scott expe-
rienced came from the immediate coterie of
that journal, and all they could control.
All versed in politics are aware that tie
Silver Greys played false to Scott, and that
from that day to this, because they did so, the
dominant (scOtp wing of the Wing party
throughout Kew York win have nothing to do
with them. 1t puts the boot of secret plotting
to bring about the defeat of Scott on the part
of persons protesting to be his friends, on the
wrong leg, as it FITS its own better than that
Of any other The Catholics voted as all others
do, as individuals, choosing for themselves:
and they were, for the most part, sensible
enough TO vote for no one who might be ac-
cused of being even remotely under Silver
Grey influence, which viii sell its soul at any
time for thirty pieces of silver and stood ready
to barter adhesion to prescription of the Catbo-
les, for a chance for power, as the result
proves.
The Catholic people, who are as tenacious Of
their rights guaranteed in our constitution and
laws a. it becomes freemen to be, did not rs.
CURE the Interference Of their clergy to in
duce them to do so, and all stories setting
forth any plot or plots to that end or any such
combination whatever, are simply barefaced
falsehoods, destitute, utterly destitute of foun.
daiion in truth. But come how or other the
concoctors Of such mars nests always manage
TO overshoot their mark, and thus expose them
selves, As in this instance, in the following
clause which we find in the article ON which
Ne are commenting:
"He Judge Campbell, Postmaster Generall

Now, If the editor Of the Buffalo CONNER

notices are on the walls of any Jesuit or other
Catholic College in the United States or have
ever been on them, We will take all the rest of
his numerous falsehoods in the article. for trn.b
