FATHER HECKER, prominent Roman
Priest, in New York, asserts in the church
paper and on all public occasions that be-
fore the end of this century this great ma
ton of ours will be as much under Roman
Catholic rule, as Rome was, till lately made
free.
III Rome, till within the last two years,
Protestant worship was not allowed, and
no Protestant church allowed to be built
or opened or held. No bibles sold or dis
tributed. No prayer meetings.
The "Cdtholic JForld,' the Chief Roman
Catholic organ in this country says, "that
the State has no rights only through the su-
perior authority of the Romish church. ("
This is the unqualified assertion of the su-
preme political authority of the church in
this enlightened day, as it was in the mid
night of the middle ages.
1t is not the religious faith of the Roman
church that is assailed, but its political p,tr-
poses, as they become more and more un-
veiled and exposed to public gaze.
If the Pope is infallible, and he pro-
claims despotism the best form of Govern
ment, then the whole Romish church must
obey, and dungeons, and chains, and the
fire and faggot must become the order of the
day, and we relapse into political barbar-
ism.
Let all men, who love our free republic,
beware of the power of church, that
claims that Government exists only by its
permission.

CglL Figures.

The Irish Roman Catholic rioters rob
The people by heavy taxes to pay fraudu-
lent and trumped up accounts, and their
design is to get the power and rob and
plunder every county and State in the
same way.
The New York Times continues to print
transcripts from Controller Connolly's
books, every item of which is enough to
convict the auditing officers of criminal
extravaganza, and forever silence those
carping journals and speakers who, driven
to extremity for complaint against the Re-
publican party, charge it with n want of
economy. Taken together and closely scru-
tinized rs to date, service performed, and
parties to whom paid, these entries make
up record that is absolutely damning
and after these unanswcrable exposures of
the Times our faith in the efficiency and
perpctuity of popular government will be
seriously shaken If criminal proceedings are
not speedily instituted against the princi-
pal officers inculpated.
The last batch Of accounts published
embraces the payments to one Andrew j.
Garvey during portion of 1860 and 1870,
which amount in all to $3.50, ,464 OG.-

THE GERMAN AROUSED. Among other
citizens who have taken the alarm are the
American Germans. 1t was full time.
They have constituted potent interest in
New York Democracy, as to-day they con-
stitute potent interest in the same party
in Pennsylvania. They have seen the
patronage of the great metropolis absorbed
by one set OF meu-violent, unscrupulous,
and dishonest; and they have paid their
taxes. with a docility all the more surprising
when everybody knew that these taxes
were partially laid, boldly stolen, and deli
berately misappled. They have sen the
Fatherland ridicued and assailed by these
men. They have witnessed the Republi-
can party spontaneously and universally
sympathizing with that uprising. They
have read President Grants official con-
graduation of the triumph of United Ger
many. They have borne the deliberate
ostracism of their best men by the Demo-
cratic party; and they have heard tho
illustrious William of Orange, who defeat
ed the Catholic Stuart, when the latter was
aiming to subvert the liberties of England
howled at in the street of New York as the
'Dutch King'' and tyrant. Like the re-
bells during our civil war, the most oppro.
brious epithet, after that of Yankee, that
could be applied to the Union soldier, wa
"Hessian" or 'Dutchmau." Perhaps the
stigma had been earned by the fact thai
the old flag had no braver defenders thar
the Sigels, the Blenkers, and the Bohlens
and that only few Germans were found il
the rebel ranks.
1t was time for the American Germans
to take their stand and make their choic,
between the Republican and Democratic
parties. That choice was clear after tn,
experience during the Franco-Prussiai
war. But it has become inevitable sine
the tragedy of the 18th of July and th,
| fearful disclosures of Tammany corruption
that have succeeded that bloody day.

a VERY important movement has been
inaugurated in Schuylkill county, led by
the Hon. Francis w. Hughes, in favor of
an independent judicial ticket. AS mat
tiers stand, the whole bench of that great
county is in the hands of the bogus Demo-
cracy,wit the exception of Hon Henry w.
Souther, of Elk county, appointed by
Governor Geary under special act of the
Legislature. The bogus Democrats having
nominated one of their own school.a noted
politician OF twenty-five years. standing
for this important post, the gentlemen of
the bar, represented by Mr.. Hughes, have
resolved TO insist upon representation of
tie Republican minority, and on Monday
evening last had large meeting, at which
Hon. B. w. Cummings, very prominent
democratic lawyer, presided. Mr.. Hughes
Took ground against the regular candidate
for judge, and insisted upon the election of
Republican. The speech is said to have
been marked by all his best ability, and
there is little doubt that this movement will
have wholesome effect upon the politics
OF Schuylkill. An Executive Committee.
composed of men of both parties, was an,
pointed to call a convention for the purpose

RELIGIOUS ToLERATIoN.-The glory OF
our free Government is, that not only are
MI men free and equal, but all churches,
and all denominations, and all religious,
are free and equal, whether Roman Catho-
lie, or Protestant, or jew, or Mohamme-
den, or Pagan, or Infdel, all are free to
worship God according to the dictates of
their conscience.
While we guarantee to the Roman Catho-
lie church freedom to worship God as they
wish, and all the power to the Government
is pledged to protect that church IN their
rights, aud while the Protestant church
would rise up rs one man to protect the
Roman Catholic church in its freedom 20
worship God, yet we demand that they
shall not in this free country, do as they
have done in Europe where they have pow
or, refuse to other churches and other re-
ligions, the right of free worship.
The battle to be fought with the Roman
Catholic church in this country, is not
against their creed, or their faith, or
their religion, but it is for religious freedom
and liberation.
We claim that the Protestant, the Jew,
the Mohammaden, the Pagan, the in6del
shall be left free to worship according to
the dictates of their conscience and none
to molest or make them afraid. We claim,
that all churches and all denominations,
and all religions shall be let alone. Mr..
Pope "hands off" no inquisitions, no dun
geons, no tortures, no burning of heretics,
no mobs, or riots.
These arguments will not suit our free
country. We give you freedom and we
guarantee that to you, and we ask that,
and no more, for all other churches.

dom" is inscribed on our banner. "Free-

NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY REpuB

NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY REPUB-
LICAN CoNvENT1oN.-We place at the
head of our columns to-day the nomina-
tions made on Tuesday last, by the Repub-
licans of Northumberland county. The
convention which settled this ticket was
the largest ever held in this county. Every
district was represented by men of the
highest character; men of influence as well
rs intelligence. The proceedings were in
in all respects of the most harmonious
character This full attendance of our
best men in the county, was observed and
acknowledged by our opponents. 1t shows
the anxious desire of the citizens
TO place the control of our county
affairs in the hands of men who arc not
connected with that clement that is aspir-
ing to rule or ruin, and place in office those
who recognize frauds and low trickcry to
gain positions to bleed the taxpayers out
of their hard earnings. II is also COM
mendable fact, that many Democrats who
see the condition of things are just rs anX-
ious for q reform as the Republicans, and
watched the proceedings with the greatest
interest, knowing that upon its action
there rested the only hope of bringing about
reformation. The ticket rs far rs nomi-
mated gives general satisfaction. The
candidates being all good and reliable citi-
zens, Republicans of high standing and
merits each of whom will do honor to
ihe position to which the preference of the
fellow citizens, regardless ofparty, will un-
doubtedly call them at the October elec-
tion.
That part of the ticket which is left open,
will give the honest Democrats of the coun-
tya goo1 opportunity to select their best
men TO run .Qainst the ticket nominated
by the most glarln, frauds ever perpetratec
in this county, thereby ,aving the county
from being disgracod by recognizing cor
ruptions in its worst form. The campaign
now being fairly opened it behooves al
good citizel 10 enter on the discharge O
their duty with determination to defea
wrong, and show their preferences dH'
deyotions to the principles of right.
