presume the goddess Of liberty must have blinded
his eyes with her gorgeous splendors and supplied
his ears with her rich eloquence or he would have
seen just cause Of fear in lis native land, and
heard many a one recited. In my day in Ireland,
0useey, the author of textbook in the Methodist
Church in this country, was so often maltreated by
Romanists for simply preaching the story of the
cross to fallen man. that language fails to paint his
suferings. His teeth we're knocked out with stones,
and also one Of his eyes; yet Mr.. Davidson has

Within the last six months, the Bishop of Dublin,
Ireland, declared before his hearers that he would
take hold of the Protestant Bible with tongs, lest
il might pollute his fngers-that book which guild
ed our entombed fathers and mothers to the city Of
Cod ''and dash it into The fire." yet Mr.. Davidson
has 'never entertained real fear of Romanism."
Next to the goddess OF liberty, Mr. Davidson
finds a theme in the British emancipation act
There are things connected with this that he sees
fit to keep back, if he knows them. commend
to him a careful reading of the "Cis Atlantic Bat
tie between Sam and the Pope" and it will make
him much wiser than he is at prenent-show him
that he can find place beyond the mighty deep,
where priests are not allowed to vote on the ground
that they are in allegiance to the Pope.
Mr.. Davidson asks: "When Europe is advancing,
shall America retrogade ~ / should blow my
nose on this, If thought all were well versed in
European matters. DR.. Cumming has so pressed
the Romish bishops of England with the charge
made against them here, that Cardinal Wseman
has been forced to state that the Pope does not
require the British bishops to swear other
bishops; yet Mr. Davidson, with the horrible oath
before him in the Union and american, taken by
the American bishops, has the impudence to ask,
when Europe is advancing, shall America retro
gade?" Europe advancing That inscription
above certain gate at Rome, "make this people
sad, addressing the sons of Abraham, and the
law which forbids them to pass out and return
after sunset, will give the American people just
conception of what Mr.. Davidson means by Europe
advancing. Those Wondering bones and suffering
creatures found in the cells OF the Inqusition, and
gazed at with unutterable horror by the Americans
present, when the laat revolution of Italy on
its way, will give the reader full comment on
what Mr.. Davidson says respecting Europe adj
vancing. If it is so horrible thing in US to pro.
scribe Romanists for their allegiance to the Pope,
not for their religion; how horrible their acts in
the dominion of the Pope. in refusing to let US
have a church to worship the God of our fathers
The Bible readers of Ireland, who are beaten with
clubs, and pelted with stones and rotten eggs by
Romansts, will exactly show to all what Mr.
Davidson means by Europe advancing. protest,

mo fears of Romanism can lead me to infringe
on Catholic rights," says Mr. Davidson. The
meaning is that Catholics must be allowed to re.
main in sworn allegiance to the Pope, must be al
lowed to swear obedience to the council OF Trent,
which 'enjoins the determination of Professionals
by fire, the rope, and all other MEANS" when cir.
cumstances justify must be allowed to declare that
'oaths made TO Protestants can be abrogated By
the Pope" and must be allow ed to teach that
Protestant mothers "sre concubnes and their
children bastards, if under marriage BY the law of
the United States" These are the rights that mo
fears OF Romanism can lead him to oppose" The
man, bearing the Protestant name, who talks so,
ought to be fastened in a chair by the hands of
Protestant women, and one Of them selected to
roll large chew of tobacco few times in her
mouth, and subject him to the fate of the French

Does not every man know, who has sense
enough to distinguish his wife from another woman
in the light Of day, that the American party never
contemplated the thought of touching Romanist
