There falls upon the mind from
these letters an undeveloped thought
suggesting larger issue. Governor
Brown points out that in Georgia
$4,000 men claim that their great
seal shall over ride the great seal Of
the State, the latter being symbolic
Of the will OF $4,000 men,, He
warns the 1900 against organic
racial affiliations in the South and
foreign affiliations would be inimicaI
to our whole industrial fabric and
destructive to our system Of govern
ment, which enthTones the will Of
the majority as against the will of
the minority. Governor Brown
when he goes beyond Georgia and
embraces the Union, touches the
string from the vibrations Of which
the mind catches tho undeveloDed
continental thought He says
Il am not writing to or for the
two million Labor UniOnists, mostly
foreigners. I am VIZ. ting to and for
the tWenty-eight million N0n-Lab0r
UniOD}sts, the most Of them Ameri-
can born. [ am not cOndemning the
foreigners who come here prepared
to obey the law. [ am condemning
those foreigners and their American
allies who are raising hands against
American lives and laws
Again, Governor Brown says
Now, let me ask this question.
suppose the Italian Government
should send orders to oil Italians in
COLORADO, Michigan, or any other
American State, to defy the laws,
kill, burn, ETC.? Would the case be
different from the edicts Of the Uni
ted Mine Workers to their members
as shown above?"
The suggestion Of the italian Gov
eminent forces upon the III nd anoth-
er Italian power oyerthroWn by the
Italian Government and yet having
its seat Of power in Italy
am not writing to combat Gov
ern0r Browns defense Of the sOve-
reignty Of the great seal Of CeOrgia,
but to enlarge his picture and range
Of vision, bringing into view the
GTeat seal Of the Un$on, whose
supremacy is CHALLENGED by that
other italian power. The great seal
Of the State as defended by Cover
nor Brown is symbolic Of industrial
liberty. The great seal of the Uni
ted States is symbolic Of civil and
religious liberty.
Tn l845, BrOWnson's Review, the
most vigorous, enl ghtened and influ-
entail Catholic organ Of the time,
said in its April issue
In point Of fact Democracy is a
mischievous dream Wherever the
Catholic church does not predomi-
nate But is it the inten-
ton Of the Pope to possess this coun-
try? Und0ubtedIv. Tn this iaten-
ton is he aided by the Jesuits and
by the Catholic prelates and priests?
Uodoubtedly if they are faithful to
their religion"
Ega'n, BrCWnson s Review said
eff the church should direct the
Catholic citizens Of this American
Republic to abolish the constitution,
the liberty and the very existence of
their country, as q sovereign state,
and transfer it to the crown OF Louis
Napoleon B0napartc, they are bound
By Divine ordinance to obey"

dom" 291-292.
In 1849, the Provincial Council of
the Catholic church held in Balti-
more. adopted the following:
Where's, lay trustees have fire.
Quently abused the right given to
them by the civil authorities, to the
great dctriment OF religion and scan

Fathers ordained that all churches
