The man who would not allow his name upon a ticket for mayor of Buffalo, N.Y., with an Irish-Romanist, the man who opposed Murphy's appointment to the Senate solely on the grounds that he was an Irish Roman Catholic, the man who reverences his mother and his mother's bible so much that he refused to take the oath of office upon any other, is not the man to denounce in such unqualified terms.

Moreover I don't think there is a man living today who is more conversant with the insidiousness of the Pope's agents in this country than he is. People would do well to heed the warning given by him in said communication. In the last rebellion, it is known that under President Pierce's administration the rebels had secured about all the munitions of war before the outbreak.

Now have we not a parallel case; don't we hear of so many shipments of arms under ficticious names; are not fool protestants aiding in building up arsenals all over the land and can't refuse, fearing they will loose caste with Romish priests in politics etc? There is a text in the VIII verse of the 12 chapter ofYsalms, that seems to be very applicable to our case at the preseut time which reads as follows: "The wicked walk on all sides when vile men are exalted." Again I notice that the matter of free speech was denied my esteemed personal friend, Rev. J. G. White by Romes fighting brigade at Kansas City. Mo.
