can galnSay It's hrrhu8cmeutc, anu Will us
pnte its authority. How can Catholic vote TO
extend slavery, and the slave-rade, and remain
loyal son of the Catholic Church,
The pamphlet finally presents I" the words
of 0'Connell" The exhortation OF 0'Connell,
If we remember rightly, was made some fifteen
years ago, (more or less, and addressed to the
Irish citizens of the United States. Extracts
only are found in the appeal to Catholic
voters now before us.
O'Connel thus speaks:
"We call upon you, in the sacred name Of hui
manity, never again to volunteer on behalf OF the
oppressor nor even for any seltinterest, TO yindi-
cate that hideous crime, personal slavery"
He says:
"Public opinion is the law Of America. Con
tribute then, each OF you in his sphere, to make
up that public opinion. Where you have the cleo
toral franchise, give your votes to none but those
who will assist you in 30 holy struggle"
0'Connel thus alludes to the Pope's Bull
above mentioned
Every Catholic knows how distinctly slave
holding, and especially slavetrading, is condemned
by the Catholic Church. That most eminent man,
his Holiness, the present Pope, has, by an alocu-
ton, published throughout the world, condemned
more distinct nor more powerful than the Pope's
denunciation of that most abomnable crime. Yetit
subsists in more abominabe form than his Holt
ness could possibly describe, in the traffic which
still exists In tho sale OF slaves from one State Of
America to another"
Again, O'Connell says;
"Once again, and for the last time, we call upon
you to come out Of the councils of the saveown-
ers and, at all events to free yourselves from par
ticipatng In their guilt. II
Irishmen | call on you to join in crushing
slavery, and in giving liberty to every man Of ev-
cry caste, creed, and color"
These few extracts, from the exhortation Of
that arch agitator, O'Connell, show the inflam-
matory character pamphlet now addressed
to /" Catholic ooters" by the friends of John
G. Fremont, and we would fain hope they will
warn the country Of the dangers Of that for
eign influence, against which the American
party is now contending. The appeal to
| Catholic voters" with an air of authority,
| asks:
"Who can doubt that if Daniel O'Connell were
living, and citizen of the United States, he would
give his vote for Colonel John O. Fremonty"
No man can doubt it, nor will any sensible
man any longer doubt, that the whole foreign
Catholic influence, Irish and German, will be
cast into the scale of the Republicans.
| Non DOW REGRET IT. Some such damning
fact is indispensaby necessary, to awaken the
conservative men of the country to the alarm
ing evils Of foreignism. For years and years
past, this sham Democracy has catered to the
prejudices, courted the friendship, and bartered
for the votes of foreigners protesting to them
that they are the only true friends of the inn
migrant, thus manifesting shameless dema-
The true friends Of the immigrant are those
who would defend the institutions of the coun-
try from those rash innovations which their
crude ideas of Democratic principles woal
suggest, and preserve them intact for the com
mon benefit of posterity. Sham Democracy
its demagoguism by the purchased instru-
ments Of its tyranny, is "grievous to be
borne"-it is terrible-but the castigaton will
be profitable.
We repeat tive do not regret that this
present contest will exhibit the foreign vote in
u
canism. 1t will open the eyes Of all Americans
to the propriety and necessity Of the measures
which we have advocated lit will rally to the
| American standard the patriotic men of all par
ties, and it will result in the adoption Of mea-
sures Of defence against the inroads which for
eignism is making upon our institutions. The
lust of power-the enjoyment of the spoils OF
| office--these have hitherto kept the leaders of
the sham Democracy from recognising the
| justice Of our principles, when these leaders
are FRUSTRATED in the dust, and that too by the
aid of those very elements of mischief and dan
ger which we have combatted, the people, the
masses, will ascertain and comprehend the
Importance of American doctrines.
The purposes and aims Of the foreign Cath
olics are now exposed to the eyes and minds of
all. The Pope's Bull is put forth now for the
sole and only purpose Of teaching Catholics
their duty! The words of 0'Connell are
presented to the view of the Catholic Irish, to
instruct them in the path of duty Catholics
are now openly asked hoD they can vote con-
trary to the command of the Popes All this
is done by published appeals to |" Catholic
| Voters" The command of the Pope, and the
exhortation of o Council, are printed for Cath
Ollie eyes to see, and for Catholic minds to com
prehend. Who says nop, that " Holy Mother
Church does NOT interfere with pelitics2
Show us the Catholic Irishman or Catholic
German who will not vote for Fremont
