pRIFsrcRAFT AND POLITICS.

MONTREAL, Feb 24.-It is stated on the
best authority that the priests OF the ProV-
idence of Quebec have received conn
dential instructions to use all their lnf1u-
ence to secure victory for Sir John Mac
Donald in the present election contest.
The church is naturally opposed 10 any
policy that would lead to greater inter,
course between the United States ana
Canada, as it fears diminutlon OF lts
power from such an arrangement. Ihe
bishops and priests consider 1t TO their ln-
terest to refuse to sanction any poilcy OF
increased intercourse.
Archbishop Fabre, in circular letter 70
the clergy, says: Beneath the British
flag, which protects rather than doml
mates, we enjoy the most precious liberty,
sanctioned by solemn treaties, and Whlcn
preserves to us intact our laws, our lnsUltu-
tions. our language and, above all, our re-
ligion. You have been able TO possess these
favors up to the present time, thanks to the
actions of Divine providence, which guides
our people; thanks, also, the power whlch
freely accorded these liberties IN return
for those sentiments and acts of perfect
LOYALTY which you have never ceased TO
offer upon each and every occasion. May
we and our very dear brethren remain
faithful to our traditions and to our duties
in this respect in order that our country
NAV not be exposed to the loss OF that
which is favorable to her and that when
brings upon US the admiration OF the
people of other countries"
