quote Bull of Pope Gregory XVI. in
order to demonstrate to the Irish Catho-
lies that they must join the Abolition par
ty. The Bull reads thus:
BULL OF POPE GREGORY XVI. FOR THE
ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.
"Placed as we are on Che supreme seat
of the apostles, and acting, though by no
merits of our own, as the vicegerent of
Jesus Christ, the son of God, who, through
his great mercy, condescended to make
himself man, and to die for the redemp-
ton of the world, we regard as a duty de-
volving on our pastoral office, that we en-
deavor to turn aside our faithful flocks en-
tirely from the inhuman traffic in negroes,
or any other human beings whatever.

''Given at Rome, at the palace of Santa
Marta Major, under the seal OF the fish
erman, on the third day of December,
1889, and in the ninth year of our pontifi-
cate.
''Countersigned by Cardinal \ Lam
bruschini.'
The Pope wants but one species of sla-
very in the world, and to monopolize that,
viz the subjection OF Roman Catholics
that world over, to the See of Rome-but
is it not droll to see q Americanism in
Connecticut quoting Papal Bull to show
Irish Catholics that they should be Abo-
litionists
ELECTIONEE3ING IN CONNECTICUT.
From the Middleton Explorer, Fremont
organ, we subjoin conversation between
a gentleman and his coachman:
GENTLEMAN.-WelI, Francis, we have
got to elect a President of the United
States this year. Whom do you mean to
vote for?
FRANCIs-For Colonel Fremont, sir, of
course.
G. (surprised) How is that ? 1 al
ways thought you were Democrat. 1
supposed all the Irish Catholics were bound
to vote for Buchanan.
F.-Very true, sir, we are all Democrats
indeed, but we are not in favor of slavery
1t is contrary to our religion, sir.
G.-That is something quite new to
me. l wish you would explain it.
F-Well, sir, you sea we have Bull
of the Pope against it; and no conscien-
tious Catholic will go against the Pope's
not to buy and sell slaves, and not to sup
port them that does it. 1t is very likely
good many who are not conscientious in
their religion may do it, but those that are
sincere in their religion will have to vote
for Fremont.
G.-I should like to see that Bull, as
you call it. l did not know there was
such a thing. Can you get it for me, or
tell me where | can find it?
F-Yes, sir, very easily, for | have it
myself in the house. 1t is in a prayer
book which | brought from Ireland, sir,
You won't find it in the Catholic books
published in this country; they wish to
keep it rather out of sight in this country.
But it is the truth, and every good Catho-
lie is bound to advocate it.
G-Are there many among your friends
who know of this Bull, and mean to act
upon it?
F.-Indeed, sir, there are many who
will do it, and if they could see the Bull
and read it for themselves, a great many
more would follow the rules laid down by
Pope Gregory XVI.
BY the way-we advise the Washington
Union, Richmond Enquirer, Raleigh Reg
lister. &c, to put all this into their pipes
and smoke it-inasmuch as they are ever
protecting Romanism in the United States.
Had they not better tell the Pope of Rome
to emancipate his own white slaves IN his
own Dominions, before he thus interferes
with their black ones?
FREMONT FISHING FOR CATHOLIC VOTES

A AMPAIGN IRA t.
4 CATHOLICS, ATTENTION!
Hear what Pope Gregory says about the
Slave Trade, and those who
deal in slaves.
Hear his anathemas denounced on all those
who in any way countenance
SLAVERY,
including, of course, those who, by voting
for Buchanan or Fillmore, uphold
! the infamous traffic.
READ POPE GREGORY'S BULL.
The CATHOLIC CLERGY
in America, entirely ignoring or losing
sight of the above document, issued only
few years ago, it remains for Protestants
to publish the same for the benefit Of
| ALL TRUE CATHOLICS,
none of whom would care to vote for
BUCHANAN Or FILLMORE
after reading this Proclamation of His Ho-
illness. They would rather vote for
JOHN c. FREMONT,
who is pledged to PROSTATE
i "THE SLAVE OLIGARCHY ~
and to extend the area of Freedom.
