any interference which may Illustrate. me
In my object" But compulsory education
must have its day regardless of all the
talking that Catholics can do on the sub
ject. 1t will be only when people see that
Catholics are In earnest and cannot pos
sibly be forced into acquiescsnce in their
hobbies by any exertion Of earthly power,
that they will begin to take serious look
ut the question, and permit the truth in it's
regard to dawn upon their minds.
In the meantime how absurd to suppose
for moment that the Catholics of France
are going to submit quietly to any such
hellish invention, much less that they
warmly favor it! A miserable minority of
Infidels and Free Masons, representing.
perhaps, one.tenth Of the population in
France, does about nine tenths of the talk
ing. They IRE banded together in strict
and complete organization. They act in
unity and by that unity of purpose, that
perfect understanding among themselves,
and q complete unscrnpulousness as to
means, they have managed pretty well to
rule the country.
But the day of this nonsense has nearly
ended. Catholics have been too supine,
and they know it. There is general
awakening among them to a sense of their
folly and their shame. They will organize.
The watchword Of "union " has gone forth
and the insolent free thinkers" will find
that honest men can be as smart as they
are when fully aware of their game. The
era of passive sheepishness is over.

Sensible Presbyterian.

| We have for long time, occasionally,
when We couldn't think of any thing else to
do, attempted to impart n few correct ideas
to our neighbor the Presbyterian. For a
long time our success had been Indifferent,
but in our last effort a better result appear
to have been attained. In fact it would
seem that we pretty much agree for once.
The Presbyterian feared that if the Pope
was infallible in matters of morals, this in
fallibility would interfere sadly with civil
liberty, indeed that he would be the sole
arbiter of every question. We gently in
formed it that it was entirely wrong and
that there was an immense number OF
questions upon which the Pope could not
decide in his infallible capacity. To
this the Presbyterian replied that there
could not possibly be any question which
the Pope might not decide if really infal.
lible on moral questions.
in which we had to make some Scriptural
references, our neighbor gallantly comedies
the point, if we rightly construe the follow
ing language from its last article:
Another case Of great weight with our
nelShDOr, Is foun0 IN the political differences
of honest men: Clay is for the tariff. Calhoun
ie against it: Hence, according to the Jesuit
| theory the Tariff question must be of indiffer-
| emit morality, or else one of these men is doing
wrong. Now we think it is o pity to get
muddled on SO simple . matter as this What
ever be the virtues or vices of the Tariff per SO,
is not in question. The question is as to the
rectitude of these two men and really their
priestly admirer is the only person We have
over known to throw . doubt upon it. The
simple fact is that each from his own position
advocated views dictated by matured judg-
meut and endorsed by conscientious convic-
tions: All things considered, each was right
acting accordingly.
Now we are all right. " Whatever be
the virtues or vices of the Tariffper Sc, is
not in question" Therefore here is one
important question which the Pope would
not find within his province, the question
of the merits of the Tariff per Sc, that is,
whether it ought to be adopted or not.
" The question is" says our neighbor, Gas
to the rectitude of these two men," Here
again we agree. The Holy Father would
require each one of such men, if
Catholics, to truthfully express and honest
ly act up to his real convictions. This
would truly present moral phase to
the question. But in the meantime the
decision itself of such questions as the
adoption of the Tariff, the National Bank
System, etc., would be beyond his power
and would furnish a large scope for the ex-
ercise of civil liberty.
