Connecticut

The following suggestions from the Boston
Post. on the politics OF Connecticut should
suggest themselves to the earnest and candid
consideration OF every well wisher OF the
democratic cause in that State. The old
democratic "a Congressional District has
been lost. year after year. to the cause ofright
and justice from purely selfish motives, and
1t Is high timr that old fights and old fcuds
should cease, and the true and often tried
friends Of Democracy Of the I'd district again
march to victory.
In Gov. JAMES Z. ENGLISH, the State Of
Connecticut would be proudly represented
a peer Of anv in Congreis-and the down
trodden South AN able friend and defender.
Let the old Commonwealth honor herself BY
nominating and electing Gov. English to
Congress from the 81 Congressional District,
in April next:
"Thc prospect fseeing Ex-Governor Eng
hsh again In Congress. as Representative
from the Second connecticut District. win
crafty the Democrats not only of his own
State, but OF all New En- gland. Governor
Englisli's District, now represented by Mr..
Kellogg, belongs rightfully to the Democrats.
and onl, through local dissensions has that
party lost its control there. To recover that
district Is to redeem the State and to restore
the rule Of Democracy which has been for ii
few years interrupted. Governor Englislls
name will unite the Democracy as no other
can, aud it may be predicted rs certain that,
with this candidate Mr. Kellogg can bc hand
solnely defeated. The advantage 10 the State
of such = substitution will not be slight. The
Congressional career Of Governor English
was remarkable In its display of ability and
OF patriotism, and as Executive of the State
his administration received the confidence OF
the whole people. Ii is possible that eN-
Governor Hawley may hold on to the place
he secured after so many failures In conven-
tion and caucus. and it Is quite certain that
Starkweather will he returned But with
Barnum from the Fourth District and Eng
ish from the Second, the Democratic porttan
of the delegation VIII carry much more
weight in Congress and represent more popu-
lar influence at none than their Republican
colleagues.

Bat the ezterminators of heretics are
eulogized and encouraged.
1t must be remembered to what heretics
referenceiis made. By the word hereto
allusion was not made then to the same
class of persons AZ are included in the word
now. In this age there are millions of
persons born and raised in heresy. They
may be considered, therefore, as compare
lively innocent of active wrong. But in
the times for which the edict quoted was
made, hereto was a man who had been
Catholic, and who voluntarily and will
fully abandoned the faith aud publicity
| raised the banner of revolt against the
| church. These parties uniformly proved
| dangerous to the state, as they had as lit
tie respect for civil as for spiritual au-
thority. They always attacked the re-
coguized system of morals at the same time
that they attacked the recognized dogmas
and thus came to be considered criminals
Heresy therefore was held by civil author
tiles as an offense against the State. Hence
| the State visited it with confscation, i'm
prisonment and other punishments.
Moreover in certain localities heresy
sometimes gained foothold like brigan-
dage in the mountains or piracy in the Ca
ribbean sea. The heresiarch would gather
| round him all the malcontents, all the
intractable, all the outcasts of whole re-
gion and, by lawless violence, make him
self and band terror to peaceable citi-
zens. These men were therefore regarded
not only as public enemies, but as outlaws.
The Church ratified this opinion and justi-
fed their treatment as such. Just as the
outrages perpetrated by Mahommedans
justified the wars which Christendom
waged against them, and which the Popes
very justly approved and blessed under
the name Of the Crusades, so the atroci-
ties" Of the heretics referred to in the
edicts quoted, fully justified their exter-
minatiOn or suppression not as mere here
tics, but as outlaws and disturbers of pub
lie order. The Popes were perfectly right
in this. -7n r
Does it follow that they would pursue
the same course with heresies which should
be in totally different category. In those
days whenever man went SO far as to
revolt against the Church, he was ready
for any depth of infamy. Now, it is totally
different. 1t is now quite fashionable to be
heretica1 and the most respectable people
do not hesitate to deny the authority of
the Church. They are not for that reason
to be supposed fit for all iniQuity and may
be, as they frequently are ~ ga citi.
zens. 1t would. therefore be- NEopg to re-

Letter From His Grace, the Most Rev
Archbishop of New Orleans.

We believe It important that we should
call the attention of the faithful to the ne
cessity Of sustaining tho Catholic Press,
and especially that Of this locality.
The press has always exercised an i'm.
mense influence, whether for good or for
evil bat owing to the psrversity Of our
nature, so profonpdly corrupted, 60 strong
ly's inclined to what 10 wrong, that in
fuence is much more powerful for evil than
for good, and if we should give q picture
of the crimes which it has produced, it
indeed would be frightfal one.
It is, therefore, the duty of every good
Catholic to sustain the religious press, now
more than ever, and in this connection
we recommend, In a particular manner,
the MORNING STAR, q journal published in
our Archiepiscopal city with cur full ap-
probation. 1t has already rendered great
services to the cause of religion, and is
destined to render still greater ones' in the
future. We shall be happy to see it pros
per more aud more, so that IL may long
continue to subserve tue interests Of reli-
gion and of society. Id

cious Canens of discipline. 1t is possible
even that he should announce some inhu.
man edict. But If he did, it would be sin
on his part, like any other sin he might
commit, and it would be equally sinful in
any body to obey it.
The quotation of our learned opponent
from the Syllabus, is totally wrong, SO far
az we have seen from q cursory examina.
tion.S We have found NO such text in that
document. There is one which says that
the Popes and Ecwmenicas Councils have
never exceeded the limits of their power.
But this certainly does not refer to each
separately, for we know that Ecumenica
Councils have, on occasion, exceeded the
limits Of their power and been obliged by
the Pope or Papal Legases to retract. Be.
sides, the action of the Popes in such pub
lie and solemn form, as when in copjunc-
ton with q general Council, is probably
always clothed with the qualities necessary
to the exercises of the great function of
Infallibility. @-'
What then becomes of the wonderful ar.
guments on which our an tagcnist bases its
opposition to tue dogma of Infallibility,
first that Romanism is dangerous to the
State, and secondly that some of the Can
on Laws are in its opinions wrong and I'M
JUST It does not follow thatS Romanism
would be any more dangerous if the Pope
is Infallibie, and the Canon Laws have no
necessary connection with his attribute of
Infallibility. Truly the arguments of our
neighber are profoundly remote from the
point ct issue, for which, indeed, we do
not blame it, IS NO real arguments can be
found against truth by the most skillful Of
easuists. :eae IN.
