righteous New England Radical,
and his cantin@, whining, sclt-right-
cous progeny, to the third and
fourth generations; and it is this
beast that is now preparing to bel
low the "No-Popcry" cry. We pro-
test against it as an insult to the
honor and intelligence of the conn-
try; as Il cruel and cowardly attempt
ut oppression; as the strike of the
assassin ut the civil and religious
freedom of the people.
1t will be to no reason to bear
against these families. 1t will avail
nothing to point out to them that
their crazy deductions are unsup-
ported by facts that all experience
is against them that Catholics like
Protcstants have been good citizens
and true to the governments that
tile where they have been iil-uscd
and prosecuted. Archbishop Bay
ley declares of Mr.. !adstonc's
charge that " it is falSc-a shameful
calumny-and would appeal with
perfect confidence IA 20 the truth
of my assertions to the conscience
of every Catholic over the face IF
the earth" Archbishop Manni e
covers the whole question, and cN-
hausts the argument in the follow
ing concise summing up of the case,
extracted from Il letter of his Lon
don paper:
@ 1t is true, indeed. that in page
81 of the pamphlet, Mr. Glads one
Expresses his belief that many of
his Roman Catholic friends and tel
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT are, ito say the
least of it, a. good citizens as him
self But, as the whole pamphlet
is an elaborate argument to prove
that the teaching of the Vatican
Council renders it impossible for
them to DC so, | cannot accept this
grateful acknowledgment, which
implies that they arc good citizens
because they are 1T variance with
the Catholic Church.
" should be wanting in duty to
the Catholics of this country ana to
myself if | did not give Il prompt
contradiction to this statement, and
if | did not with equal promp,neSs
affirm that the loyalty of our civil
allegiance is not in spite of the Cath
ollie Church, but because of it.
"Thc sum Of the argument in the
pamphlet just published to the
world is this: That by the Vatican
l, I,1.
made in the relations of Catholics
TO the civil power of States that il
is no longer possible for them to
render the same undivided civil al
legiancc as it was possible tor Cath
olics to render before the promul ga
ton of these DEGREES.
" In answer to this it is 'Or til.
present sufficient to affirm
81. That tho Vatican decree.
have in no jot or title changed eth
err the obligations or the condition.
of civil allegiance.
90. That the civil allegiance %
Catholics is as undivided as that o
all Christians, and of all men VIII.
recognize Il divine or natural mora
law
"3. That the civil allegiance o
no man is unlimited, and, therefore
the civil allegiance of all men VIII.
believe in God or are governed by
conscience is i'm that sense divided
"In this sense, and in no other
can it be said with truth that til,
civil allegiance of Catholics is nndi
vided. The civil allegiance of ever,
Christian man in England is i nit {
by conscience and the law OF God
and the civil allegiance OF Catholic
is limited neither less nor more"
But neither the high character o
Archbishop Baylcy, nor the almos
ascctic purity of Archbishop Man
nlny's life, will gain credit for theil
assertions with these determine
unb, Levers. The CINCINNATI tia
zette will sound its penny whistl,
and tell us it is "only Jcsuitica
mode " of getting out OF the diff
Guilty. If we suggest that the Amer
lean Archbishop would not dare
make, in support of II falsehood
such an appeal as he has made t.
" the conscience of every Catholic
over the face of the earth ); or i
we tall back UPON the invulnerabl(
logic ut The English Archbishop
the Chicago Tribune will consider
il all nal@ht a. il shuddcrin%ly re
fleets upon that = i'apal toe whicl
threatens t" hc pressed upon The
neck If the government" Argu
mcnts will do no good. Nose-pull
ing is the remedy; and VIC apply i
to-day to the Chicago Tribune ant
the Cincinnati Gazette.
We trust the Democratic pres:
throughout tie country will b,
prompt to dcnounce this outrageous
assault upon the principles of reli
yious irccdom-this shameful etfor
to rcsuscitate dying party by the
silmulant of appeal to the lowest
the most unrcasoning, and the mos
dangerous of prciudiccs. We have
sufficient accrbity already in oul
politics. Let us insist that the re
iigious element shall not he intro
Iuccd to increase it, and To that enc
let us at once stamp out this infa
nous cry OF ''No-Popcry.'
