The recent trucking Of the Democracy !

The recent trucking of the Democracy 70
the Catholic vote, as manifested in their
" Protectory ard similar bills IN this and
in other States. has awakened such storm Of
indignation and rebellion at the polls where
the issue has been made, that some of their
leaders are becoming frightened, and cry a
halt We are not accustomed to look to
the. New York World for political wisdom,
but there is both sound sense and shrewdness
in the following extract from that paper in
reference to measure of this character be-
fore the New York Legislature -
ssThat was a very absurd tag to tho bill for
the care of pauper children which proposes to
provide that the pauper children should be
brought up in the religious faith, ascertained
or presumed, of their parents: It was equally
ridiculous with a bill which Mr.. Hustled intro
duced into the Legislature some years ago,
aud the like of which has actually become law
in Ohio, securing to convicts their choice Of
clergymen. The religious preferences of a
man who has not religion enough to keep him
out Of Jail are about the last thing a sensible
Legislature would consult. A man who has
become disgrace and burden instead of an
ornament and defence to the community had
best take what religion the community sup
plies him with and be thankful. There is no
religion which he could not have himself bet
tered by than the one which he has previously
preferred and practiscd, whatever form Of re-
ligion or irreligion he has professed. His
preference would lead him away from religion
and also from penal servtude and are in both
cases to be profoundly disregarded. The
cause of pauper children stands on the same
footing. Parents who have left their children
to be cared for by the community have no
roeeillla claim ON THAR children fv IN bp
community in respect Of their children. Their
children cannot be brought mp in a worse re-
ligion than that which has brought them to a
dependence upon charity. The Bible win in
form the Legislature that he who provideth
not for his own is worse than an infidel, and,
by consequence, that any religion is better
than his religion. The whole business is a
disgusting piece of sentimental slop, lift is no
worse.'
