A ROMAN CATHOLIC VIEW OF METHOD
IsM.-The Tablet, Roman Catholic journal,
and speaking for the Roman Catholics In
this country, thus admonlshes the Method
lists: 'The real enemies to us among Pro-
tcstant sects In this country are the Method
lists, admirably organized for aggression,
and who, in their appeals to the animal
nature and sensible devotion, acquire no
little power over the sensitive, the ignorant
| and the superstItlous. They, however, are
laying the foundation of their own ruin.
They are becoming wealthy, are building
fine churches, founding colleges and theo-
logical seminares, and they are taking their
place among the respectable sects Of the
country. A strong party among them,
almost a majority, are struggling to intro
ducc lay representation in their conferences,
and they are not unlikely TO succeed. These
| things will gradually work their ruin. They
| arr ruined the moment they lose sight of the
| poor, the ignorant and the neglected, and
pride themselves on having large, wealthy,
aud fashionable congregations. The poor
arc worth more than the rich"

The Democratic papers have
been raising a great cry about
a new paper called The Impe'
rialist which is Published in
New York, and advocates a
monarchial form of Govern
ment. 1t turns out that this
paper is published by a
lot of Democrats who believe
in their own oft repeated as
seiticn that our government is
a failure, and we find our Wes.
tern Democratic organise has
tening to agree. The first
number of the Imperialist says.
"the debt and the Republic
cannot co,exist-the people
must wipe out the debt, or the
debt will wipe out the Repub.
lic," to which proposition the
Cincinnati Enquirer responds,
"we agree" We commend
this fellowship of these two pa
pers-the organ of the Mon
archial party Of the East and
the organ of the sU-called Dem
ocratic party of the West-to
the careful consideration OF our
readers, and especially those
who have fled from monarchial
rule. Let them ask themselves
seriously if this pretended
Democratic party has not
placed itself squarely in oppo-
sition to the perpetuity of our
democratic government upon
all occasions, and attacked it
with more vehemence than did
any out-spoken monarchiSt, at
home or abroad? The Imperl-
alist is the natural born child
Of this latter-day Democratic
party, with all its whims, likes,
and dlslikes

Visions of a Democratic Editor

Visions of a Democratic Editor
The Democratic party, If
properly represented by their
press, must be the most arrant
towards in the world. Week
after week, the Enquirer, of
our town, whIch is but a re-
hash Of other Democratic pa
pers, appeals to its readers to
arm themselves against the
"nigger." To the disordered
Imagination of its editor ap-
pears visions of a black man
driving him with the sharp
crack of the drivers whip,
while the gentleman Of the quill
s'groans and sweats" under the
weight Of a second gentleman
from Africa, who perches upon
his trembling shoulders, clank
ing "chains and manacles"
about his ears. Can mind OF
man conceive of anything more
horribles Can there be any
peace for a brain SO diseased (?
1t is in vain we assure him
that the black man will not en-.
slave him. He sees Mr.. Lucas,
Mr.. Taylor, and "Jack," our
three quiet gentlemanly col
ored citizens, placing the 'man-
ac!es' upon the fifteen hundred
inhabitants of oar village, and
making them hewers of wood
and drawers of water. Poor
unfortunate mani Can moth
ing rescue him from this terri
BILE situation?
Perhaps the three colored
gentlemen would enter into
bond to keep the peace and not
enslave what the Enquirer i'm.
agnes is the poor unfortunate
fifteen hundred.
But does the Enquirer think
that it can keep up a continual
panic in the ranks of the De-
by its nervous appre
tensions Of "nigger suprem,
acyW Has it only to speak
the watchword when all of its
voters in the county will rally
to protect themselves from be-
ing enslaved by our three col
ored men9 Or will the people
soon see that they have been
deceived, and when the leaders
sound the alarm, leave them
alone to face the dreadful enc
my?

on the way toward the incor-

into the Federal Cons titu -,

ratified it, according to our
count, are as follows: Maine,
Massachusetts,, New York,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
South Carolina, West Virginia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Florida,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Ne

Louisiana, Kansas-21.
The following States are
morally certain to ratify be-
fore the year closes: Yer

Rhode Island, Virginia, Mis-

the residue that we need, and
more too; and we hope for
help also from Ohio, Indiana.
