In the confusion of the Republicans
wrath it perpetrates some Of the widest
logical incongruities. Thus, it says Nc
Master sis in favor of Spanish Monarchy"
and proves it by the following quotation
frem that writer
l will compromise no one by reverting to my
| sources of Information at present. In short
| time Gt may be some months) when King
Carlos VII. will be in the Escurial and will
hold Madrid and all the SPANS, for their honor
l will, perhaps, tell who my informants have
| been.
The conclusive character of this proof
need lot be explained, Again. The Re
publican says:
Mr.. MacMasters seems also TO be a grand al
moner of the Zouaves of his holiness who
| seems to be aiding to establish the Spanish
| Bourbons on the throne from which they have
been expelled by their own vicious and op-
pressed administration.
And here is the quotation from Mr.. Mac
Master given to prove that:
All have done has been in private in the
| st. Miehaels Association, of New York, to help
| in sending little aid to the Pontifcal Zouaves
who are in active service in Spain, for hospital
services, under her regal highness Donna
| Blanca, the wife of Don Alphonso, the brother
| of the King, and freely used for the unhap-
Ply conscripts of the Madrid dictatorship as for
the Carlist wounded.
| Sending some small supplies for hospital
uses to be applied to the relief of suffering
men on both sides,-that constitutes a man
"grand aimoner to the Zouaves." This
t is about as. forcible as the other suggestion
that His Holiness seems to be aiding to
establish the Spanish Bourbons" on an IN
wi nd hat he
Republican draw that conclusion 7 From
the fact that the "Pontifical Zouavea" are
in the service of Don Carlos. What logic
The "Pontifcal Zouaves' is the name of
corps. The Pope has nothing to do with
them.
But let it be remarked, in justice, that
this kind of nonsense is what passes current
every where as argument" against the
Catholic Church. That is, error and false
hood ave the only basis for any such argu-
ment.
But the Republican goes back to Nc
Master
This iahabitant of the American republic
seems bitterly hostile to the Republican die
tatorship of Madrid." He also denounces the
" overgrown and insolent German empire"
From all of this we infer that Mr.. MacSEasters
l. A friend of monarchy.
>. a Jealous friend of the Poutitf.
5. en- intense hater of the Protestant Inlers
i'll Germany.
lst Because he il hostile to the .:tiictator-
ship of Madrid" therefore he is friend of
Monarchy. Again, what reasoning BY
the same kind of argument a man is the
friend of Monarchy if he sympathized with
the British troops in the Sepoy rebellion or
disapproved of the frightful scourging re
Gently administered in Central American
State to British Consul. Mr.. McMastcr,
perhaps, merely thinks that Carlism is
better for Spain than Infdel, Free Mason
misrue-a nominal republic but an actual
outrage against both God aud man.
2ad. "A zealons friend of the Pontitf"
Well, we hope and believe that to be true,
but unless we had some more direct proof
of it than thas selected by the Republican we
should consider Mr.. McMaster's devotion
in that line very equivocal.
3rd. Mr.. McMaster is, no doubt, in
teusely opposed to the prosecuting policy
of the German rulers. But this, not be-
cause they are Professionals, but prosecutors.
There are numbers of Protestant rulers
whom the gentleman referred to, no doubt,
respects greatly, but they are rot special
agents of the Devil, like Bismarck and his
sympathzers.
The last grand, overwhelming, fatal
charge against McMaster is that lie is prob
ably an Irishman. This is that irresistible |
avalanche of reproach and scorn with which
the Republican is wont to eud controversy
and extnguish Father Ryan and other ma.
tive born citizens of the United States The |
allegation as to Mr.. McMaster is Just as
true and forcble as all the others above
given, for he is a convert from an old New
England Puritan family and descended
from one of the original Plymouth Rock
Blue lights.
