 But is it not almost time for the Priest-rldden people of New England to rise up and shake off the chains of this parson power? When the native Anerean feeling ct New England fir organize itself against the power ot the Roman Catholic Church, the Catholic Priests never had half the power over even their own neonle--as these New England Parsons have over their subjects. or rather slaves. Indeed, we are fully sure, that these New England Par sons really exercise more tyrannical authority ovnr the women and children of New England (and many of the men, than do the overseers of the slaves, or the masters even, over their negro slaves Let Us all, then, petition Con, press for the emancipation of the women and children of New England from this Parson- power.-Ne,0 + Erpress.
