There is a complaint also made about
Ia "reyived Know Nothing Party" We
did not know that such party had an
existence until we received the Register.
But we do know the course of Catholics
is well calculated 10 produce just such 8
party. A short time ago Catholics in
this county were advised no; TO identify
themselves with any political party, but
to support those men who viii most
favor their church.
We find the League of 81. Sebastian.
also commended in the Register, 10
American Catholics. These are It's
words, League of St. Sebastian. This
association, formed by the English
speaking soldiers Of the Papal army.
after the seizure Of Rome, has been e.
ltablished for tie purpose OF assisting In
every legal effort which may be made 10
restore the Holy Father TO his legisi-
mate rights. as Sovereign of the Papal
States. Catholics in the United States
ldesirin, TO join the League. ca0 do so. +"
&c. Thus we .ind Catholics are banded
together for personal ends. No class OF
mon can unite in this country. for the
purpose of advancing personal ends,
but will find their opponents banding
together TO defeat Them. Railroad men
have tiyed il, and fnd farmers organ
iZing TO defeat them, and rs a result we
see the late Railroad law OF Illinois
And if Catholics coai wish know

let us indulge the hope that this paper
IS not n fair exponent Of the views Of The
Catholic church. Among the many rooa
citizens we have. il j hard to-
believe that they will take part ia or ap-l
prove of such extreme measures.
We are always desirous OF knowing
he truth. and if the kind friend. who
sent us that paper. has any periodicals
Of his church recommending the great
principle OF the Master, charity, We.
would like 10 sec them. Christ SAYS,
Z love your enemies. DO good 10 them that
hate YOU" Iii we could see this advice
given instead OF war and bloodshed, we
could begin TO see some resemblance
Of the original church. We have mem
toned afew articles in this paper. others
might he mentioned, but we pass them
by for the present.
We are much obliged 10 the ono who

would be highly pleased TO read them
