We copy below two leading articles
from the Chicago Press d Tribune, Mr.
LsooLx's leading and confidential organ
in Illinois and the North West, to show
the Lgotry, inanity and intolerance Of
Snaughaism towards all who profess the
Catholic faith or happen to be born on
Foreign Soil. To each we add the a9mi-
rable and conclusive replies OF the Cl'c lgo
ILra!d, an able and high toned Democrat
ic paper published by G. II. McCo&NEcN
IL Co.,, inventor of McCormichs famous
Reapegs If any man doubts the bigotry
of Lincolnism, let him not fail to read both
articles:
ITALIAN LIBERTY-IS DOUGLAS CATHOLIC:
lie is no American who does not sym
pathize with the movement OF the Italians
for larger degree of political liberty
We care not what mans religion may
be, or what his objections to the form Of
mOnarchical government which the Italian
patriots are eudeayoring to establish. His
RELIGIOUS faith and his theoretical notions
of divine right have no business in man
like that before Us to influence his action
or prejudice his Judgment to such an eX-
tent that when aid is asked for the csuse
of the Liberals, he will button his pocket
and turn coldly away. The mission Of
Garibaldi is one Of humanity ana ultimate
ly Of fRepublicanism, and if the foundations
which uuderlie our political institutions
are sound, it deserves the support Of every
American and patrio..
1t is well known that an effort is being
made by the Popish clergy in the United
States to direct the sympsthies Of the
American people in opposition to the
cause of Italian liberty, to cut off the CON
tributions which may be made for the
equment of Republican armies for fight
inc Italian battles, and to send to the cof-
feTs of the Pope the sum which ought to
20 for the spread of human freedom.-
They work assduously to this end and,
we are compelled to say with 10 inconsid-
cradle success. The necessary connection
in our politics between American Latter
Day Democracy and the Catholic Church
| leo o-partners in the defence of despotism)
is SO intimate that the servants of the
Hierarchy may manipulate the abettors
of Slavery as they will and we have no
doubt that an examination Of the lists of
those who have contributed money for
the extension ard perpetuation of the
power of tina. Old Humbug, the Pope
and the junior butcher, King Bomba the
Younger, would disclose the fact that Of
the Democratic politicians of the country
few have been able to resist the threats
and opportunities of the Popish clergy
that their names with greater or less sums
appended, are to be found recorded as in.
inical to the establishment Of popular SOW
ereignty in Italy. We have the best Of
reasons for believing that the Golfers OF
Judge Douglas have been invaded, and
! that a sum which the cause Of freedom
might have asked in vain has been given
therefrorn, that the despotism of the Pope
and the tyranny of Bomba might be kept
upon the necks of their unwilling and re
belious subjects. We state the fact, not
out Of iIl-will to our Senator; because bis
/ notions Of civil liberty and religious duty
are his own; and he has the same right to
emphasize them il Italian affairs as lie had
