The Pope or SambO.

The war having virtually ended, some of
the religions fanatics, convinced that the
terms, Copperhead and Traitor are now
obsolete, have determined to introduce a
venerable seal, ,ecrow into politics. They
have already imported that lannon's corpse
of the Mother Conntry-rNo Popery.r But
the skill and ingenuity OF any co-parIuer,
snip Of quacks mus, fail in the attempt TO
breath into il the breath of life, for ils crum-
bling bones and The dried parchment which
erca~es Them are unequal TO the pressure
While in the British House of Commons

that the religious Test Oa;h should be abol-
ished, some zealots in this country seem
anxious 10 prescribe citizes as dangerous to
the commonwealth, because not subscribing

But the Introduction Of this British corpse
INTO American politics should not astonish
any person aware Of the result which the
importers wish TO accom- plish through its
insuumeniaIiiy. Foreigners, We are in
formed, are coming into this country very
rapidly "a majority of them are Catholics
There Is, although not yet proclaimed as
such, Catholic party in the country, to
which the newcomers will maturity attach
themselves. This party will elect Presi-
dent and have majority in both Houses Of
Congress, and then Catholicism will be made
the Safe religion. To cap this climax cIsv-
efly, The Pope is to be brought over to gov.

| In so-called religious Convention lately
sitting in PhiladeTphia, Clerical non~corf,
pos by The name Of Parviu, made the follow
ing remarks in reply 10 HoE. George M.
Wharton, 10 the debate on dividing the Do
cese-as reported in the New York Church
Journal ).
There ivere some people who could see
no Consltuhonal authority for the Emanci.
patton Proclamation and the trial OF often
ders by Military Commission. But it was
enough that these things were done that
was sutfcieni proof OF the existence Of Con-
stitutioHal authority"
Apart from the improp per ailusion, and the
covert sneer willing to wound and yet afraid
10 strike, which characterize the sentence,
the political knowledge it displays is good
gauge ofihat shown by the Convention in
The political part of its performances. There
were some able christian men in the body,
and why they permitted il to disgrace itself
without protest, is beyond our comprehen-
sion We pass that.
This political preacher believes and
teaches that the fact of thing having been
done is sufficient proof of Constitutional au-
thority. OF course no man OF common
sense believes any such thing as he asserts
Ii so, Mr. Stewards arrests at the touch of
bell were Constiiuiional-Sianto throws
men into military bastiles by telegram, and
having been done, /: is Constitutional. He
tries men by military commission, a tribu-
nal unknown TO the written constitution and
the laws yet the organization of The court
is Sufficient proof of the existence of con
sltulional authority"
Such teaching is simply monsirous-and
yet OF that kind has been the most that we
have heard from the pulpit for four years
las; past. Notwithstanding, The Age, which
ought 10 know better, but which seems 10
have lost its balance lately, publishes Oar
agraph, without dissent, calling congregs-
lion mean, for reducing the preachers salary
10 twelve dollars for the year, he refusing
TO resign, and the Bishop refusing to remove
him al their request. He was doubtless OF
he Parvin stripe AN ignorant political priest,
so notorious that be could not be offered a
call elsewhere and like the old man of the
Sea, bound 10 fasten himself upon the shout
ders of the unfortunate men who gave him
the earliest assistance.
Gospel preaching would soon be the or
der of the day, il these polit;co-cIerical
mountebanks who turn their NEE ling ho1s-
es into political club rooms. were brought
dowHsfo salary commensura,e with their
earnings, say one dollar a month. The con-
gregation above spoken of is not the only
one which has similar incubus weighing
it to sS9es earit|; but it is the only ore we
have heard of with spunk enough to cast
off the aSsa weight, and be free.

is plain. Those citizens who recognize the
