ia MS cOHHtTyt VI WHICH their D0nLlUcGi
master is the declared enemy. This Is
immateriaL But that they do use their
ministerial influence against i, directly OF
indirectly, every Unionist, every Liberals
ist, knows and feels. Why, if this be
not the ease, is the Roman Catholic pop
nlation so nearly unanimous against tie
Liberal party in this country1 Why is
it that Roman Catholic Union men are
90 scarce that their number can almost
be counted ON the fingers in any com
munity the size Of this2 Why is it that
the Catholic Telegraph Zone Of three or
four loyal Roman Catholic papers in the
Union) has but free Subscribers in Evans
vile, while that reasonable sheet, the
New York FrssmaRs Journal circulases
near forty copies here weekly? If the
Roman bishops and priesthood do not
take part in politics, why is it that the
Roman Catholic riots in New York City,
last July, ragged so ferceiy for several
days, and then all at once were stopped
in mid career By Archbishop Hughss?
IF he could stop them By fsw words
and wave Of the hand, why did be al
low bis followers to commence them
Did he stop them because he saw the
rioters would be ovefpowered7
The truth is, in every community there
are one or more Of the laily Of that
church who attend TO the political part
Of the church polily They receive d.
reetions from headquarters through their
priests, and carry them out most Jesuit
caIly and zealously. All who are &C
quaintsd here know the men who run
The politico-rsligious machine. We can
name from one to dozen men Who
spend all or most Of their time in but
ton-boling passers-by on the street, blar-
nsying by tina hour on corners, and who
seem to have nothing else to do bat to
exercise their jesuitieal arts in the utter
ests OF the CopPerhead party and the
Society Of Jesuils Liberty Of eonseienes,
free schools, Professionalism, ntisleyery,
the opposition 10 the Macmillan govern
ment, aud other liberal movements, It
is their especial province to decry and
/ put down If possible.
The priests are as wise as serpenis,
aud do not work 10 the light Of day on
| political matters. That part Of their
mission can best be performed through
the emissaries that we have character
lied.
The apologist for Roman Propagand-
ism wakes sarcastic near the close Of its
article, and speaks aboat 'Caiholicizing
Catholic country The medium"
through whom the Pspal spirits who
control the Times write, knows that
when we spoke Of The Macmillan usur-
patton as being dangerous 10 Protestant.
ism, we meant that il was dangerous 10
our Union through Mexico, and not that
Mexico was Protestant country. We
know it has been under tho control Of the
Roman Church But the Times knows,
and every person knows, that the legiti-
mate aud constitutional government
under Juarez was opposed by the Roman
Catholic Church party under Miramon,
and that Juarez triumphed Aud It IS
known, also, that the Church party, as a
means OF recovering iis possessions and
privileges, appealed to Louis Napoleon
/ 1.-THE champion Of the Pope) for aid; that
that aid was given under shallow pre-.
tense, in order to disarm suspicion Of the
real intentions on the part Of the Pro
testant powers and that France, with the
eeantenance Of Roman Catholic Aus
tria, Spain, and the Pope, has sue
ceeded in expelling the Jusrez
government from the Capital, es.
tablishing a monarchy on the ruins Of
the Mexican republic. and re-instating
the clerical party in their former posi-
ton. So the invasion does not exactly
Catholieize Catholic country, but il
re-sstablishes the Romanist clergy in the
position from which they had been ex-
PEELED by the Mexican Liberals. This is
one step toward the Latinization of the
American continent, and the Spanish
operations in San Domingo are another
step, and the outrages Of Spain on the
coast Of Peru are still another. And va
might add that The intense hostility O.
the Roman church in these United States
to the legitimate and constitutional gov
eminent Of President Lincoln is fourth
! step to the same goal.
The Jesuit organ accuses as OF ineon
sisteucy in opposing the Msximiliar
! usurpation so warmly. and then submit
