10 appeal 10 higher power, for, in the hands
of this class, the country is fast drifting into
infdelity and Cesarism, and there is no other
power amongst us to-day that can so add and
so impartially act the part Of the savior of the
democratic government as the Catholic church
in the United States. The Protestant church is
so feeble that its own clergy is swallowed up in
the ioles OF the day, and as a consequence
have no influence to restrain crime in their re-
spective denominations. How different with
the Catholic clergy, who, faithful to their divine
mission, have StudiouSly avoided intlaming the
political passions of one class of citizens against
another, and the Catholics of the United States,
obeying the teachings of the divine being, are
well calculated to save the country from the
destruction that surely awaits it, if permitted TO
remain much longer in the hands Of red repub-
licans."
