rely for Irish votes on the hatred of that
people toward the negro, the Catholic Tel
egraph of Cincinnati publishes the follow
ing paragraph:
''The Catholics are laboring among the
freedmen in Baltimore. In their schools and
churches white and black sit together. The
priests openly declare the doctrine that &c cd
makes no distinction, and the Church can
not"
And comments on it as follows
'When was the writer OF that item born
where has he lived He must have been
taking a Rip Van Wrinkle snooze for some
eighteen hundred years. The Catholic Church
has always done this. Blacks and whites
study and recite and eat side by side at the
College ofthe Propaganda, Rome. There are
now seventeen negroes being educated for
priests in one institution in Naples. Last
year n negro student carried off the highest
prize at the Propaganda, Rome. The same
equality prevails in he: churches throughout
the world
What the Telegraph says is true. That
Church has never made distinction Of race
or color, but sought to proselyte all races,
all colors, and place them on an equality
within her borders. Hence the prejudice
and bitter denunciation often heaped on the
negroes seemed to us never to come with so
bad grace as when uttered by devout
Catholic. The Telegraph article may well
make Catholic Democrats reflect.
The New York Freen,an's Journal, per-
haps the foremost Catholic paper in Amer
lea, says:
"Affairs are very remarkably mixed mp.
Men may be excused for getting their heads
muddled. We are called on to support
candidate, on National grounds, that was i'm
self avowedly in favor of another candidate,
most antagonistic to all decent and proper
ideas of federal government. We acknowl-
edge that this affair is muddled. Our cor
respondence is of a character to excite our
alarm. There is no use of Disgusting the fact
that there is distrust and disafection among
very many Democrats"
There's harmony-such as it is.
Another Democratic paper, the Irish
People, and very popular among its coun-
trymen, abandons Seymour and Blair and
declares for Grant and Colfax. The New
York World and Brick Pomeroys new
paper, the New York Democrat, are more
busily engaged in fighting each other than
in fighting the Republicans. The New
York Journal Of Commerce, the Massa-
chusetts Democracy, and Secretary NJ
Culloch, all repudiate the financial portion
of the platform, though all form part of
the Democratic family.
Reverdy johnson, though counted a
Democrat, sends back word from England
that he can't 90 Seymour and Blair
Gen. John A. Dix, Minister to France,
and lifelong Democrat and worthy
soldier, writes home that the election of
Horatio Seymour would be national ca
lamity. He must therefore support Grant
and COlfax. At which the New York
World raves like dying hyena.
The n. Y Herald has the following
about Pennsylvania:
"AI eyes are turning toward Pennsylvania.
What is the prospect in Pennsylvania is the
universal question among the politicians
Is there any hope for Seymour in her coming
October election? None, from all the signs
of the times. If, then, on the 18th of Octo-
her, the Republicans in the State election of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa carry
the day, what hope will there be for Seymour
in the general national election of the 3rd of
November None in the world. Will the
Republicans in October carry the States indi-
Gated, including Pennsylvania? We think
they will, and by handsome majorities, from
| the tone of the Northern pulse, rs indicated
| in Vermont and Maine. What then? Why,
then the Presidential election will be reduced
to the mere formality of casting and register
ing the popular and electoral majorities oi
General Grant"
