yhere Catholics we're rejected as Juror, Por what,

where Catholics were rejected as jurors. For what >
because they held lightly their oath Of office. All
no but becd1se they kelLA tOO mrred Never. ex.
cept in political cases in Ireland, is Catholic juror
rejected Then 1t Is dOne not ut the instance 0f the
prisoner. but through the arbitrary power of tue
powers that be; and not even then if the DriaOH<y
Is u hare fir tridi! For, whenever the English
Government u prosecuting who has been
g0aded into rebellion by its dOmineeTnR and tyran-
ical power, and must have him convicted in order
10 wreak its vengeance ON him,-when packed uries,
partizan judges aud perured sherHs are in demand
in ireland, then, indeed, Catholics are in small re-
quest
Thus, to the dullest comprehension, il 10 evident
this rejection Of Catholics, jurors, is not by any
means a religious system. II be- rs not the slight
est reference TO the religion Of the prisoner Al the
trial Of O'Brien, Of Mitchell, why were Catholics,
among others, excluded from the jurv? Certainly
not because they had any sympathy with 0'Briens
EpiscOpaanism or MitchelPS Presby
Why will the Union continue to expose its superb
calityy Why take upon trust the random assertion
of an English journal? very little inquiry would
inform the Lnion that during Doiitic1t trials Pres
byterians nre AS often rejected as CathOlcs-bc-
cause, in Ireland, they are strongly imbued with
the spirit Of Nationality and Liberty, indeed
the followers of the great Gencviun everywhere.
Had the Union known this il would not have dared
To stgmatize this respectable and influential body
with violation Of most sacred trust. Neither
would it have dared to compare the influences Of
Presbyteriansm and M0rnOnism together, because
Union is undOubted mini0n Of both.
The most offensive part Of the UhiOns whole
course in this matter, and indeed, which shews at
once its stupidity and bgotry, is its comparison be-
tween Catholics and MormOns and Catholicism and
Mormonsm. What parallel there exists between
those patriUtic and virtuOus Irishmcn who will not
find man guilty at English dictation, and that
band Of traitors maraudeTs and murdercrs that
have sqtattr in Salt Lake fHilry TO carry their
detcstabe and degrading practices, who violate not
only our laws but outrage every sentiment and in.
sinct Of humanity and vrlue-that ignorant, des-
picablr rabbC ,oilscourngs 0f England, Sweden, Ger
many aud the United States-l leave for impartial,
Intelligent men 10 determine. But the idea Of COIN
pairing the oldest form Of our Christian Religion
with MOrmonSnI, that thing Of lust and beasality,
is emincntly Sacramento LniOniSh.
II lis nonsense It's enough.
Thu Eni0HH creed demands no better proof.
Ono is u religion ancient and honoured in the an
mails and Archrves Of naOns-honOred by the at
Ischnent and devotion Of .our ancestors which en-
abcd them to live righteOusly aud die trumphantly;
the other is modern and mOnstrOus deluSi0n, u
