tee United states. At their conservation
they swear allegiance to the Pope of
Rome, and also swear to destroy hcretics,
schismatics, anu rebels against the same
our lord (the Pope,) A Jesuit in his
oath Of allegiance to the Pope, swears t.
renounce and disown any allegiance as
due to any heritical king, prince or state
named Protestant or obedience to any of
their inferior magistrates or officers, and
further declares that the doctrine of the
Protestants is damnable, and that he will
assist and advise any or all of his Holiness
agents in any place wherever he shall be,
and do his utmost to extripate the heri-
tical Protestant doctrine and destroy all
their powers.
The bishops, priests, and jesuits of the
Roman Catholic Church are, in this
country, as they themselves declare, on a
mission. They have no organic connec-
tion with the country, or government.
They recline from its protection, but
have no right to interfere
with its laws or in its legis
lative enactments. Their civil relations
to foreign power forbids this. If this
is not so let them furnish US proofs to the
contrary. Let us see the bishops coming
forward and swearing allegiance to the
Constitution of the United States In
the position they now occupy, they can
not become American citizens, and Obvi-
ously they have TO right based upon
American citizenship. They constitute
themselves political organization that
plants itself in direct antagonism to our
government, and avowedly are seeking
ts overthrow. The Bishop of St. Louis
says Catholicity will one day rule
at an end" The New York Tablet tor
Nov. 18th 1869, Roman Catholic paper,
says. Protestant schools are goddess schools,
and their religion is born of hatred of
God, revolt against Christ and his
church, and would have to abdicate it's
own nature not to seek to deprive catho-
lies of their religious freedom. and to
suppress, by aid of the state the Church
of God, the catholic church represents
God on earth, while the Protestant repre-
sents Satan and the world! The Free
mans Journal December 18th says" Let
the public school system go to where it
came from the devel. The following
quotation from q speech of Victor Hugo
to the priests of France, when they tried
to get control again of the educational
system of that country, will illustrate
their work. He saws: "Spain, magnif-
Gently endowed; Spain which, re-
ceived from the Romans her first civiliza-
ton, from the Arabs her second civiliza-
ii, n, from Providence, and in spite Of
you, world, America; Spain, thanks to
you, to your yoke of stupor, which is
yoke of degradation and decay. Spain
has lost this secret power, which il had
from the Romans; this genius of art,
which it had from the Arabs; this world
which it had from God : and in exchange
for all that you have made it lose, it has
received from you the inquisition."
Shall Frenchman thus speak in
France and we be silentY Shall one
brought up amid Papal influences, see so
clearly the whitening power of Romisb
education, and any person in this land of
gospel light be blind to itG When we
take retrospective view of the history
of the Roman Catholic chucch, read her
pages written with the blood of every
one who has not bowed meekly to her
scepter, and when we realize the power
she is acquiring in this country, and see
how nearly she has her gers-pregnant
with death,-upon the vital interest of
our government, it does not require any
great stretch of the imagination to pre-
dict what our future fifty years from now
will be- At least being advised, it is
we'll to so guard our institutions that the
perpetuity Of our government be not en-
dangered by yielding to the lightest wish
of the emisaries of Rome G. l. s.
