Amongst the many objections raise
by the truly se!f.virtuouS opponents Of
Blaine comes in that oft expo Odd
charge that he belongs 70 the Catholic
cburch, as if hat wOuld make him a
dangerous man to elect, or prevent his
election. We cannot see that
maur religion in this country, whore
church and State are separated, should
have any thing to do with his candidacy
for all office, only as Il general thing the
more genuine religion u luau has the
better public servant he ought 70 be.
But il is not that Mr. Blaine has not
enough or has too much religion that
this charge is made against him, but
that the report may injurr him in his
candidacy for the Presidency. It is
only one Of collection Of her lies that
are circulated about him, and will not
harm him, and we might az well let the
lie take lis course were it not that the
truth might as well be known and Mr.
Blaine reap the advantages or disad-
vantages Of his religious convictions, be
they what they may.
Now, the truth Of the matter is Mr..
Blaine and his wife are both members
OF the Congregational church of Angus

1t must be honestly and frankly said
that President Arthur has made the
best Vice Presidential President the
country has ever had. 1t is remember
cd by many now living how John Ty-
Ter apostatized after the death OF
President Harrison, and became a
Democratic President of the deepest
dye. Even Vice President Willard
Fillmore in succeeding TO the Presi-
dency on the death of President lay
lor, changed the policy Of the govern
ment TO such All extent az to cause the
greatest dissatisfaction. We would
not disturb the memory of Andrew
johnson, the unworthy successor OF
the martyred Lincoln, but we would
let him sleep ON in silence almost for,
gotten.
President Arthur is the fourth Vice
President that succeeded to the Presi,
dental chair. He may not have
measured up to the giant mind and in
teIlect of the lamented Garfield, but all
things considered he has made good
President. There is nothing in his con-
duct since he became President that de-
serves. unfriendly criticism. President
Arthur deserves well of his countrymen,
and it has been through no failure ON
his part since his elevation to the Presi.
dency that Republicans have felt
constrained to oppose his re-nomina-
ton.
The death Of President Garfield was
v . grievous disappointment to the Ameri
can people. They lad learned to trust
him and bad the highest hopes of his
administration. The Vice President S
loyalty to Conkling had forced him into
an appearance Of hostility to the Presi.
dent, and when Guiteau's bullet placed
him in the Presidency it was to be ex-
pecoed that the public would not look
upon his administration with the high
est marks Of favor. They naturally
took upon themselves the duty of re.
storing President Garfeld's policy so
far as il might be possible and they
waited TO the present time for the ac-
cOmDlishmcnt Of that service There
was time when Arthur might have
taken his place as Garhrld's heir in
popular estimation but thar opportuni-
ty was lost when the Garfield cabinet
was distanded when Blaine, Window
McNeagh and James went back to pri-
vate life Siuce then the President has
conducted himself wisely and prudent
ly,and shown himself TO be a safe ruler,
but no act Of his could win Tor him the
full confidence Of large portion Of the
people, or could make his domination
anything else than a dOuDdul expert
ment
