poundings of a dictating priesthood as a seund discretion may dictate, and for a correct interpretation of Divine will, are held amenable alone to the Giver of all good. It does appear that we, having rightfully inherited these privileges, should continue to enjoy them. We will. A leading characteristic of our creed has ever been to open wide our arms to immigrants from other shores. As we have enjoyed and highly appreciated the sweets of liberty and a glorious indepeni dence, we have been the better prepared to extend a commendable liberality which has resulted iu conferring those benefits upon millions of persons who were virtually refused happy homes in the old countries, and in return we should be resnprted bv them, and nur institutions whlch ,,ave contributed so much to their happiness and good fortunes, should be regarded as sacred to the memories of

their founders. We hold them so, and as such we ever expect to see them held by all true Americans. The day is about ushering in, however, when our smooth and harmonious prosperity is to be molested. Those who have sought homes at our hands as a relief from their oppressed and paupcre I condition at home those who were suffering under the iron yoke of tyranny and oppression, and had not even the privilege of worshiping under their own vine and fig tree according to dictates of -their own consciences, and dare claim nought else as a governmental prerogative but the humiliating position of serfs and menials, and having determined as an effectual remedy, to shake off their shackles, abandon their old governments and rulers and seek an asylum under the benign influence of our institutions which so readily furnish the remedies they eagerly sought, now seek tosow the seeds of discord and anarchy amongst us. Yes, whilst the oath of allegiance is yet fresh in the'.r memories, and their tongues scarcely stilled from their renunciations of all obligations to olh-r government heads,! hey dare dictate to us what changes are necessary in our civil code. With the stain of perjury upon their polluted lips, Catholics in this country still adhere to edicts of the Pope of Rome anhe principles of our govern-1 nbpdience to his will, we are urecl that their children are not' in our schools; and still more daring, they claim as a matter of right, a portion of the public fund collected for common school purposes, lor the employi mentof CarioZic teachers for the instruc-, . i fl0tl 0f their children. . . n:n;nai PW!nnc this snrinsr i Al UlC IllUUIUII'ai tirv-uujia tuia aj'nujj ! . ciacinnali, Dilruit, d olIl place5.

How near at hand the period is, when nity for foreigners to vote at our regular elections, we may too soon be able to tell. Many were the doubts entertained as to the propriety of the step, when that instrument was submitted to the people for their adoption or rejection, but its numerous wholesome provisions outveighed this objection; yet they may now begin to see that their fears are upon the verge of realization. During the few past months, an alarming increase of immigration to the United States, is reported, and as a natural consequence of the extensive public works now under construction in our State, swarms of the.n will seek their homes amongst us, and they will learn their right to vote before they learn the judicious exercise af that right, or for what purposes it was thus extended to them. Th Irish is a stubborn and headstrong race perhaps more sensitive and devotedly attached to their religion, than any

other race of people upon the earth. It is from them that difficulty is most to be apprehended, and although we may fondly hope that none of our fears may be realized, yet an eye to the safety and perpetuity of our institutions, is surely suggested by wise reflection. In a neighboring Stale but a srfort time since, five drunken Irishmen from one of the public works, entered a church where a Methodist congregation were worshiping, and with vulgar and bitter anathemas hurled at the minister, thrashed and knocked about amongst the crowd, striking both male and female, and succeeded in dispersing the congregation. They were pursued some five miles when they were overtaken by an officer and his posse, and stoutly resisted the operation of the law to such an extent as to result in the loss of two of their lires, and the wounding of one of the posse, . In this instance it was clearly demonstrated that they will resist, even unto death, the due operation of our laws, tegardless of the enormity of the offences they have committed. It is enough when we ex tend to them a warm and welcome recep lion into this country, without being expected to yield to them the right of averting the liue principles of this govj ernment, which, under our control and management, have afforded them such i .... . i , blessings as his induced so many oi tuem to seek homes amongst us.

If the constant and untiring abuse of the Catholic religion by certain Protestant secular and religious papers and preachers, is reprehensible, the recent systematic and intemperate attack upon and unmeasured denunciation of the Common School system by Catholic bishops, priests and papers is not less so; and the late Allocution of the Pope of Rome, in which he declares all marriage throughout cbistendom, contracted uuder the civil law to be coBcubinage, is disgraceful and damnable. We intend to speak fearlessly and plainly on these subjects. It is time that the press should do so. It cannot be denied that the unceasing goa dings of Catholics and Catholicism by Protestants in this country has heretofore furnished a suflicient apology for complaint and per i3ps retaliation. This has come, it is J true, from the most part from irresponsij Me persons-street preachers and zealots. iiut we must say mai me respuusiunii of the recent upheavingsof public opinion rests mainly with the Catholics. The assumptions of the Pope, bishops and priests in respect to the authority of the church, their denunciations of certain ot our institutions, and their systematic warfare upon them, are all calculated to arouse a popular eicitcment not less fierce than it has already been found to be un-

Thus much by way of parenthesis before introducing the article of the Enquirer: "The excitement ol the past ten or twelve days, among our citizens, hs bee i produced first bv the insulting language I of a street-preacher against the females ' . . . ia of the Catholic Church; and secondly Oythe want of judgement on the part of the Mayor, in suppressing in advance what he thought was going to be a discourse provocative of a breach of the peace, and using a special police force to protect a Catholic procession part of a I ceremony in laying a corner stone of a j new Catholic Church, on the same day that the street preacher was put down. .

Again: the Pope in his Allocution, delivered in a secret Consistory at Rome on the 27th of last September, and which hasbeen extensively published, declares that the marraige of man and woman among Christians, made in virtue of what civil law soever, is nothing else than a shameful and miserable concubinage!" So says the Pope of Rome, and so itis promulgated through the Christian world Could anything be more offensive, insulting and impudent to Protestants and all others out of the pale of the Citholic church! It is as much as saying that every Protestant wife is a whore, and her offspring bastards! Is the Protestant world going to submit tamely to such an imputation from the Pope, and as a matter of course from his Bishops? We know that Catholic females, of the most refined sensibility and the strictest virtue, do not regard such an Allocution of the Pope of the slightest importance, for they visit and are in social intercourse with the very females that the Pope proclaims to be no better than kept mistresses or whores! "So on the other hand, Protestant females isit and are in social intercourse with the vcy females that this street preacher Kieklaxd says arc no better

than adulteresses and prostitutes! 'If the world were to believe what thee two parties say of the females of the other, we would have to set down the fairer portion of creation as the most loathsome portion of it, and utterly unworthy a generous or affectionate impulse. Who belives these imputations on either side? Very few sensible persons, we believe. We hope so, any how. But we cannot withhold the expression of our opinion, that those who profess to speak by authority of the Catholic Church, are the authors of the present excitement. Their arrogance, anti-republican views, submission to foreign orders and endeavors to break down our common school system, have aroused a spirit of inquiry into their compound religious and political church system, that cannot be otherwise than healthful to the Republic, and adverse to the extravagant pretensions of the Pope and his Bishops. "We have thus alluded to the extavagances on both sides. We favor neither, as we think neiher can be justified by right-thinking, sensible people. The daily conduct and intercourse of both Protestants and Catholics gives the lie to both Kirkuxj) and the Pope; and .we dont't think either worth the shedding of a drop of human blood, or the half of the skirt of a coat' In order to have a proper understanding as to the extent of the excitement created by Kirkland's street preaching, we may note the fact that the Mayor of Cincinnati attempted to slop him, which so incensed the community that an INDIGNATION MEETING Assembled, which is said to have been the largest ever assembled in the city. The following are the resolutions passed at said meeting: Wliertas. the right of the people to assemble in the public market-places or streets to consult upon public affairs, or the right of any individual to speak or preach in the public places in our city has not been questioned, but always considered and believed to accord with the principle of genuine republicanism, and Whereas, D. T. Snelbaker, Mayor of the city, supported by a large body of police, did, on Sunday morning last, under the pretext cf quelling or preventing a riot, peremptorily stop the Rev. Mr. Kirkland from speaking, while addressing a laige number of people who were peaceably listening to his address. Therefore Resolved, That the Mayor of the city did, on that occasion, transcend his authority; that his conduct was calculated to cause the mischief he wished to prevent viz: a riot or a resort to self-defence against presumptuous officials. llesolted, That the police, some of them at least, by this tyrannical course to pre vent the expression of disapprobation by the people present, at the official acts of the Mayor, showed their promptness to do their masters bidding, particularly in crushing freedom and elevating despotism. llcsolvcd. That as freemen we claim that it is the right, aye, the duty of every individual, to express his convictions of the acts and tendencies of any public society, institution, or sect, be it benevolent, political, or religious. Rtsolved, That we believe it the sacred duty of every American to become, acquainted with the teachings and acts of every religious denomination, be they good or evil, and judge of them by the standard which they themselves have reared. Resolved, That in view of the premises, Mr. T. Ü. Snelbaker be requested to resign his office as Mayor. ltcsolved. That this meeting is in favor of sustaining any person who desires to address the people in our market spaces on any topic of public interest and concern. Resolved. That we, as American citizens, will oppose the attempts of any religious body to incorporate their power or influence intothatof the Government, either local or general. After the passage of the foregoing resolutions, a committee composed of ona hundred persons, was appointed to wait upon Mayor Snelbaker and request him to resigu. A Criminal Judge was once about to ! pronounce sentence of punishment upon , an Irishman, for committing a theft. And is it upon the oaths of thim two witnesses your honor's going to condemn me?"' asked Pat. 'Certainly," said the Judge; "their testimony was ample to convince the jury of your guilt.'' O, murther!" he exclaimed, "to condim me on the oath of two spalpeens who swear that they saw me take the goods, when I kin bring forth a hundred who'll swear they didn't see me do it." He that will have no trouble in this world must not bo born in it.
