We copy the following from theb Washing

The Chronicle [Forney's paperl Of this
morning contains a. savage and altogether
unjustiiable attack ckuponthe Romano Catholic
religion. Imbued with the fntoerarlt spirit
of Puritanism, which for so many years in Eng
land destroyed Cathedrals, prosecuted Gath
olics, and pronounced pFamuni Tres against
Priests, and for so long u period ineNew Eng
land hunled them down like wild beasts,
persecuted them in the social circle, burnt
nunnefles, &C., the Washington Chronicle,
and the party it represents, is still as intoler-
ant as ever. Not content with seeking to-
bind the PoLITTcAL faith of Imen, q it now full
inmates fercely against RELIGIOUS freedom.
1t wants to bind theEeligieas opinion of men
within its own measure. & saa a,ots6ses4 '.rr
This is monstrous tyrannyr7and yet it is
the very soul of Radicalism. 1t is the spirit
of the insolent, blood thirsty, senseless desa
potism which Puritanistn, no matter what
called, Independents or. Saints in England,
Federalists, Black Republicans or Radicals
in America, has always exhibited .f The re-
ligious people of the country can now see the
danger of allowing this party toacontiuue in
power. siWili any man be blind enough not
to see that after RadicaIism destroys Cathol-
icsm, it willnot. fail to persecute all other
religious sects that do onot come up to its own
ideas of religious fanaticism :, az. j .f,,ss,
Speaking bitterly OF; the Catholic religion,
heChroniele calls tia SUPERSTITION, and says
eeworld istoo enlightenedto permit Cathol-
icism lengsrL to exist. Calling. the Pope
"Anti.Ohrist,'. ii la'mcnts that he was not
last year destroyed, root and branch. ;. nd
