A FOOLISH MOVEMENT.

The following telegram from New
York was published yesterday in the
PUBLIC LEDGER:
In view of the recent and probable flu
ture events, an immediate organization
of a society, to be known as the Protestant
League Of America, headquarters at
New York city, with affiliated societies
throughout the United States, is recon-
mended for this purpose; and properly
to consider the immediate event
that gives rise to this suggestion,
let public meetings be called at once in
this city and elsewhere. The claims OF
Roman Catholicism are incompatible
with civil and religious liberty.
We protest against such movement
and at the earliest possible moment put
it upon record. There is no occasion
for such an organization Its spirit is
unlawful. 1t would invite just such
collisions rs those that occurred in New
York yesterday. We wish never to see
the day when the Catholics and Protes-
tants of this country shall array them
selves against each other. II there is
one principle in our system more priced
than another, it is that which secures to
the citizen the right to worship accord
ing to the suggestions OF his conscience.
When that is assailed, whether by
Catholics or Protestants, q blow Is
struck at freedom itself. When
that is destroyed there is nothing
left worth preserving. Upon its funeral
pile every right we hold sacred will per-
ish. No league is necessary for the
protection of religious sects. The law
protects all alike, and all we have to do
is to enforce it. We have no estab-
lished religion and no church oligarchy. |
Church and State remain separate, and
nothing short'of revolution can unite
them. We want no Protestant leagues
and no Catholic leagues. The New
York movement is born of the fright or
the passion of an hour, and will soon
run its course.

have now secured them from New York TO the

been consumed than we anticipated. We are

and near, full scope for their best labors. We
started out to render the people Distribution

Mechanics Association.

3 At the meeting of the Mechanics Association
held on Friday night, Mr.. l. s. Clark, the able
and active President of the Society, rendered
his resignation, which was accepted and the va
cancy filled by the election of Mr.. G. w. Charl-
ton, whose zeal and energy in whatever cause
he eSpOuses is too we'll known to need any COM
ment.
One striking feature of the proceedings on
Friday night was the report of the committee
strong grounds for the mechanics of this city
uniting their capital for the purpose of estab-
fishing for the present, at least, store. The
nucleus for such concern has already been
started, as we learn, in North Knoxville. Some
leading mechanics are very hopeful of Originat-
ing a formidable plan of cooperation, and are
confident that the enterprise will meet with gen
eral favor so soon as its claims and merits shall
have become known.
In this connection we would state that the
Association passed resolution authorizing the
President to call mass meeting at an early
day, OF the mechanics of Knoxville, in order to
take some prompt steps to bring the work Of
corporation prominently before them. 3d.
