ALARM OF PRorEsrANTs.-The Protestant
press are widely divided in the course they
should pursue regarding the Church. Some
affect to sneer, question, and despise the on
ward course of Catholicism. Others give ex-
preston of serious alarm at the inroads on
the sects, and call loudly for repressive mea-
sures. Both are united on one point-ip-
discriminate abuse and unlimited mendaci-
ty. The Christian Intelligencer, rather more
moderate than its eonfreres, thus dis
courses: ta sa
"No subject occupies the religious mind
and press of the country more earnestly, at
the present time, than the spread OF Roman
ism, and its probable influence upon the pc
cuiiar institutions of the American system
of government Amid the diversity opin-
ions, some of which are remarkable for
nothing so much as for the confidence with
which they assert the natural impregnabil-
ity of the system Against all attacks OF de-
spotic power, upon ONE point there Is agree
ment, viz: that Rome is bending allher en-
ergies to the acquisition of religious, social,
and political predominance in the United
States. That there are grave difficulties in
the way of the success of this movement is
undeniable; but it is equally plain that the
Church of Rome, or the Court OF Rome, call
it which we may, has already gained want
from which to direct her future operations.
We have heard it affirmed, by. those who
have carefully examined the ground, that
there is not prominent town in the entire
Western tier of States, from the Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico, in which the prestige of
Rome is not established. Meanwhile, she
is setting Professionals an example which
they must not be slow to follow when it is
good. She is occupying every position of
influence with her institutions. She has
hospitals for the sick. She has orphan asy-
lums, the proper adjunots of her converts !;
she has schools of all grades, for the elite of
| fashion and for the poorest of the poor. She
has parochial schools, and makes religion
an integral part of her educational system,
and she is bending all herenergies and hus-
banding all her resources to build up the
Church, which she believes to be both Holy
and Catholic. We may suspect, and accuse,
| and denOunce Romanism, and we have just
| cause for all our opposition, but Jas est ct
