Hardin county, K'y., Fohruary 12, lStt,
and never entered the Ntato of Illinois
mtil Fehruary 7th, 1!!0, just live days
heforo ho was twenty-ono years of ajjo;
therefore he eould not have boon bap
tised In Illinois In his youth by any
body, Klrst of all, tho Llneolna were
Quakers; and It has pansed into history
that "the Hilda was ono of hU (IJn
coln's) favorite book."
That a iirtest would have the audacity
to write: "I, myself, have hoard his
confession many times, I frequently
celebrated holy mass In tho homo of
his parents," and that a newspaper
wovdd print such ntulT, without condom
nation, Is shocking, and w hen the men
trou mousljfnor sav s: "Why did ho
not stay at homo on Good Friday and
continue toay his beads?" It bcooimm
ppalllrl Whv did not tho bloody
assassin who "said his heads" stay at
home on that Good Friday, In company
with hi Catholic conspirators, instead
of hootlnn' the "apostate and infidel"
Lincoln? It Is undeniable that every
n;cmh r of the traitorous and murder
Otis ganjr who entered Into tho conspir
acy to assiisslnate tho president, wetv
Itoman Catholics. This Is now their
plea, that he was an apoMntc and an
infidel.
This writer had better have "felt It
duty to break off' from Lincoln'
memory, even bead or no beads.
Lincoln was neither an Infidel nor a
Cath llcj hut was better than either
he was an American patriot; a hoi lever
in Cod, bed honest with hlsfollow men,
"This valuable test Imony, tho authen
ticity of which we guarantee, that
Americans need not have the least
doubt that they nominated Catholic
for president." Is - well, Is further evi
dence of the deceptive efforts of the
priesthood. Tho Advocate should he

One of the great underlying funda
mental of ItomanUm, Is ever to be on
the side likely to win In any contest,
especially political, Separate polities
from the Itoman church, and nothing
but the bare hones of the sjstom of
what Home term "evangelical re
ligion," remains. This Is not said In
the spirit of antagonizing bigotry, hui
calmly and dlspafslonat?ly. The his
tory of the Roman church, from the
day of Constantino and his fanatical
mother, Helena, down to today, has
been a ceaselesa grasping after the
temporalities of earth, begging, plead
ing, imploring, Insinuating for the
tame, or with tho club of anathema,
demanding that the chief prhstof
Home shall lie king of kings and lord
of lords. The basis of this assumption
for universal rule, by the bishop of
Roman Catholicism, Is made upon this
statement: that all "the kingdoms of
this world shall become the kingdoms
of our Lord and of his Christ." Ro
manism audaciously infers from this,
that as the acknowledged head of the
Roman church la thcdlreet representa
tive of Jesus Christ, and proxy for tho
Almighty on earth, all governments of
mankind must acknowledge this su
premacy and the divine authority from
the pope of Rome to bind or loose the
temporalities of earth. All who refuse
to so recognize thl source of their
temporalities or secular government,
re deemed contumacious, and where

right to role In tho name of Josus
Christ, all over the earth, as an un
questioned, heaven bestowed right, 1m
yond all hiqtilry or antagonism, so
every Roman Cuthollc in this or any
other government on earth, Is under
the most solemn obligation to acknowl
edge no superior In power to the "Head
of the Church," and all alleglaneo to
President, Prince or Potentate W null
ttnd void, whenever the Church ssaks
tho word. This makes It utterly Im
possible for a true Roman Catholic to
view the government of any nat ion In
any other light than that of being
secondary and subordinate to the "head
of tho Church of Christ on earth," In
the person of the l'opoof Rome.
Now, all this Is but pre factory to tho
Instance before us, In which wo are
compelled to listen to tho expressions
of Mgr. Sutolll, tho papal ablegate,
delivered In Buffalo, N. Y.. on the
evening of Wednesday, 8th Inst. The
occasion was that of tho "silver jubi
lee" of Hlshon Ryan. The flue Italian
hand of the clerical gentleman from
Rome Is beheld In tho following ex
pressions,' which certainly breathe the
true animus of the educated Jesuit,
seeking to fawn and flatter this Amer
ican people. Ho says: "There are
few, hut hero and there are found some
obstinate adversaries of tho Catholic
church, who use U) accomplish their
end alms proportionate to their pur
poseuntruth and calumny. We avm-
path Ixo with them because, perhaps,
they do not unders'and our affairs and
our institutions, and In their prejudice
they imagine them to be what they
aro not. Particularly do they continue
In a thousand ways to combat the
church and her Institutions as though
they were hostile and harmful to tho
civil and political institut ions of tho
country. In One, they claim not to be
able to see how the spirit of Catho
licism can be harinoni, d with the
American constitution and with Amer
ican liberties as understood by their
great founder. He, Washington, ex
cluded from tho constitution and con
sequently prohibited, any law by which
tho civil power might seem to enter
tho sphere of religion, and that great
man In whom America has her Solon
and her Clnclnnatus eould not have
done otherwise. I believe that no liv
ing man understands better the pur
pose which unlimited Washington than
the great pontl IT, Leo XIII,, just as I
believe no man living understands the
mind of Loo a Washington would were
he ttllvo today to study It."
Now that Is just It, We belong to
that class mentioned as "hero and
there one" who fall to see how the
spirit of Catholicism can bo harmon
ized with the spirit and letter of the
American constitution " If this Italian
priest know anything about the origin
of the American constitution, he ought
to know that it framera took particu
lar pains to shut God and religion out
flf every sentence, paragraph and clause
In the whole fourteen sections of that
Instrument, and free liberty of con
science la In it given to every Amer
ican tltl.on (a clause representing a
liberty that Rome has unrelentingly
fought, In all places and ages,) to
worship God as he will, but to keep
his creed, belief or Interpretation of
the divine will, out of tho political
economy and secular rule of tho Un
ited States government. Moreover,
the reverend gentleman overlooks tho
fact, that this constitution was con
ceived and formulated by two of the
bitterest foes of Rome, In the persons
of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine,
both of whom were skeptical In regard
to tho truths not only of what Rome
claims, hut of what all revealed re
ligion recognize as truth. When he
says that Washington would not have
this, that or tho other, In tho Amer
ican constitution, he shows his ma
jestic Ignorance alKiut either the man,
or the 'position he held. Why Mgr.
SatollI can only behold Washington in
America In the sumo potential attitude
as a popo In Rome, and we need not toll
our readers that Washington had no
more to do with what should go in or
come out of the constitution, than any
other delegate present at the congress

J. W, Rarr, sr., in a late Vhrislinn
SUmttml, says some things to which
every Protestant ought to glvo heed,
and that tight speedily.
"I do believe, as many who read the
signs of tho times believe, that while
Protestants are asleep or are fighting
each other about some "article of faith,"
or trying some hlg preacher for
''heresy,'' tho Catholics aro working
for tho control of the government, with
a fair prospect of soon being successful,
If Protectants don't soon wako up to the
danger." '
"How does It come that Catholics All
such a largo percentage of tho offices,
naval, state and local? In the United
States congress there are more Catho
lics than Protestants of all denomina
tions together. I havo soon it stated
that In the senate they don't luck many
of having a majority; and so also in
offices filled by executive appointment."
It Is a well known fact that many of
our large cities aro entirely controlled
hy tho R 'man C'atho'ic party, It Is not
worthy of tho name church, and never
was.
It Is simply sheer nonsi'tiso to talk
alHiut tho Catholic movemontas though
it wero a more accident. Lightning
never strikes twice in a place, but Rome
stilk-s In the same place until she
makes an Impression.
Was it an accident that a Catholic
wus chosen as chairman of tho republi
can national committee, and was It a
huppon-so that he was chosen as a dele
gate to the Caihollo congress?
Pray tell me, was It an accident that
a Catholic was chosen as chairman of
the democratic national committee, and
was It purely accidental that ho was
appointed as a delegate to the Cat hollo
congress?
Kx Mayor Hugh J. Grant, of New
York City, Is the "tool" that prostrated
himself on his knees lniforo Arch
bishop Coriigan, and kissed his hand.
He too was a delegate to tho Catholic
congress.
"The Insidious doadlyencroachments
of the Jesuit Intriguers, are matters of
history. Their approaches are snake
like, and embarrassed by no scruples,
And when they have succeeded In plac
ing their emissaries at the head of our
two great political parties, there Is
hardly any political revolution that Is
not possible. Protestants should arouse
themselves, and take measures to make
their dlspleasuro felt. Christian Stand
