' Tkw fsllowlnjr ars tha daclaratlona of principles adopted by the National Oou etl of tho A. 1. A. at Ua biolne. "Loyalty to true Americanism, whlra 1 knows neither birth, place, rac. creed. ; or party, la the first requirement for I wiembership In the American Protoctlvo Association. "The American Protective Aasoriatloa U not a political party, and da not con trol the political affiliations of Its mass be re; but It teaches them to be intensely active In the discharge of their political duties to or out of party tinea, because It believes that all problems confronting our people will be bound solid by a con acteotlous discharge of the duties of cili senship by every individual. "While tolerant of ail creeds. It hoi Is that subjection and support to any politi cal power not controlled by American cit liens. and which claims equal If not greater sovereignty than the Kovernment of the United States, Is Irreconcilable with American ritisenshlp. It Is. there fore opposed to the holding of offices In state or national government by any subject or supporter of such ecclesiastical power. "We uphold the constitution of the United States of America and no portion of it more than Its guarantee of religious liberty, but wo hold this religious liberty to be guaranteed to the Individual, and not to mean that under Its protection any un-American ecclesiastical power can claim any absolute control over the edu cation of children, growing up under the stars and stripes. "We conxidv the non-sectarian free public school the bulwark of American Institutions, the best place for the edu cation of American children. To keep them such, we protest against the em ployment of subjects, of any un-American ecclesiastical power as olllcers or teachers of our public schools. "Wo condemn the support out of the public treasury by direct appropriation or by contract of any sectarian school, reformatory or other Institution not own ed and controlled by public authority. "Believing that exemption from taxa tion is equivalent to a grant of publio funds, we demand that no real or person al property be exempt from taxation, the title to which Is not vested in the national or state governments, or In any of their sub-divisions. "We protest against the enlistment In the United States army, navy, or the militia of any state, of any person not an actual citizen of the United States. "We demand for the protection of our citizen laborers the prohibition of the im portation of pauper labor, and tne re striction of all Immigration to persons who cannot show their ability and honest Intention to become seil-supportiiur Airier lean citizens. 'We demand the change of the natural thorlzing the naturalization of minora, without a previous declaration of lnten tlon, and by providing that 'no alien shall be naturalized or permitted to vote in any state In the union who cannot speak the language of the land, and who can not prove seven years consecutive rest dence in this country from the date of his declaration of Intention. 'We protest against the grows negll gence and laxity with which the judici ary of our land administer the present naturalization laws, and against the practice of naturalising aliens at the ex pense of committees or candidates as the most proline source of the present prostitution of American citizenship to the basest uses. We demand that hospitals, asylums. reformatories, or other institutions In which people are under restraint, be at all tlm&s subject to public Inspection whether they are maintained by the pub lic or by private corporations or individ uals. We demand that all national or state legislation affecting llnanclal, commer cial or industrial Interests be general in character and in no Instance In favor of any one section of the country, or any one class of the people. apostolic see. Every bishop In his dl la thought to be, and la resJUy is. a natural inquisitor, (literally bern inquis itor), ao as to have the same power with those already mentioned in a causa of heresy. U. In every promissory oath, although absolutely taken, there are certain cou- , Unions tacitly understood, amongst which are: 1st If 1 can; Xml lo sat the right land authority of a superior; Jrd-Wuea ; the oath supposes the honor of the apoe ; tolic see to be illicit. at 1 hat the council of Trent, (the last ana great autnurity of Home), dscrrea and command that the sacred cauous and all cultural councils, also the other apostolic enactmeuts Issued In favor of ecclesiastical persons of ecclesiastical liberty, and against Its violators, ail of which by this present decree It reuewa, and must be exactly observed by all. EXTREME OATH Of THE JESUIT, . . now in the presence of Al- CANNON LAW. 1. The constitutions of princes are not superior, but subordinate to ecclesiasti cal constitutions. 2. The laws of the emperor cannot dis solve the ecclesiastical or cannon laws. 2. It la not lawful for an emoeror to exact anything opposed to the apostolic ruies. 4. it Is not lawful for kings to usurp the things that belong to priests. b. Mo custom of anyone can thwart the statutes of the popes. b. lj9t no resistance be offered to the apostolic (cannon) precepts, but let them be salutlferlously fulfilled. 7. Tne yoke imposed by the hoiv see Is to be borne, though It appear Intolerable ana msupportapie. s. The i'ontilT can neither be loosed nor bound by the secular power. 8. That the I'onttrr was called God by the pious Prince Constantino, and that as God he cannot be judged as man. 10. That as God he is far above the reach of all human law and judgment. 11. x nat an laws contrary to the can ons and decrees of the Roman prelates are or no force. 12. That all of the ordinances of the Pope are unhesitatingly to be obeyed. 13. we ought not even to speak to one whom tne rope nas ex-communlcated. 14. Priests are fathers and masters. even of princes. 16. The civil law Is derived from man. but the ecclesiastical or canon law Is de rived directly from God, by which the Pontiff can. In connection with his pre lates, make constitutions for the whole Christian world, in matters spiritual, con cernlng the salvation of souls, and th right government or the church; and if necessary judge and dispose of all the temporal goods of all Christians. 16. A heretic, Holding or teacning false doctrine concerning the sacraments. Is excommunicated and degraded, and hand ed over to the seculiar court. 17. Secular princes unwilling to swear to defend the church against heretics are excommunicated, and they are laid under an Interdict. 18. The goods of hertics are to be con fiscated and applied to the church. 19. Advocates or notaries, favoring heretics, or their defenders, or pleading for them In law suits, or writing docu ments for them, are infamous and Sus pended from office. W. The secular powers, whether perma nent or temporary, are bound to swear that they will exterminate, according to their power, all heretics condemned by the church; and a temporal lord not purg ing his land of heretics, is excommuni cated. IL Those signed with the cross Tor the extermination of heretics, rejoice in the privilege granted to the crusaders for the help of the holy land. 12. They are absolved from all obliga tions who are in anywise bound to heretics. n Whoever dies in battle against the unbelieving, menu the kingdom of bear- a. M. We do not esteem those homicides to whom It may have happened in their zeal for their mother church against the excommunicated, to kill some of them. K. The catholic princes are bound. both by civil and common law, not to receive or tolerate heretics, and much mora are not to permit their rites, or other exercise of their religion, or rather. their false sect, but are most solemnly bound everywhere, to repel and expel them. 28. The following temporal punish ments are to be enforced on heretics: 1st Infamy, and the consequent disqualifi cations for all civil acta. 2nd Intestabili ty, as well active as passive (that Is, thev can neither make nor will Inherit what is left to them by others). Srd Loss of parental power over children. 4th Loss of dowry, and other privileges granted to women. 6th Confiscation of all goods. 6th That vassals and slaves and others are from all. even sworn obligations due to their lord, or another. 7th Capital corporal punishment, es pecially death, and perpetual imprisonment. 17. The canon law forbids all tolera tion. 28. That metropolitans ana blsnons are to ex-communlcate blm who grants lib erty of conscience. 29. Mo oatn is to be kept toward here tic princes, lords or others. 20. Heretics are to be deprived of all civil and paternal rights. 21. The pope can absolve from all oaths. 22. Every bisnop is ordinary juare in a cause of heresy. The reason is because the bishops can ez-ofnclo, and ought to xtlroats heretics, ana innict upon tnem the due punishments, and to this are bound on pain of dspoeluoa. Besides are tas Inquisitors especially sepatse ay tas mighty God. the bleased Virgin alary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the bless ed bu John the Baptist, the holy Apost les St. Peter and tit. Paul and the baint and bacred Host of heaven, and to you, my ghostly father, the superior general of the society of Jesus, founded by Baint lgnatus Loyola in the pontittcaiion of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do, by the womb of the virgin, the matrix of God. and the rod of Jesus Christ declare and swear that his holi ness, the pope, is Christ's vicegerent, and is the true and only head of the Catholic or universal church throughout the earth; and that by virtue ot the kes of binding and loosing glvuu to his holi ness by my tiavluur, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, slates, commonwealths and gov ernments, all being uloKal witliout Ills sacred coniirniallun, and they may be safely destroyed. Therefore, to the ut most of my power, 1 will defend this doctrine and his holiness' right and cus tom agulrutt all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatsoever, es pecially the Lutheran church of Ger many, Hollund. Denmark. Hweden and Norway, and the now pretended authori ties and churches of England and Scot land, and branches of the same now es tablished In Ireland, and on the conti nent of America, and elsewhere, and all adherents in regard that they be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred church of Rome. "1 do now denounce and disown any al legiance as due to any heretical king, prince or state named Protestant or Lib erals or obedience to any of their laws. magistrates or officers. "i do further declare that the doctrine of the churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the name of Protestant or Liberals to be damnable, and they themselves to bs damned who will not forsake the same. "1 do further declare that 1 will heip, assist and advise ail or any of his holi ness' agents, in any place wherever I shall be, in Switzerland, Germany, Hol land, leniiiark. Sweden. Norway. Eng land, Iceland or America, or in any other kingdom or territory, 1 snail come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the lieietical Protestant or Liberal doctrines, and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise. "1 do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding 1 am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical lor the propagation of the mother cliurcVs In terest, to keep secret and private all her agents" councils from time to time, as they entrust me, and not to divulge, uirecny or uiuireciiy, oy word, wriuni,' or circumstances whatever, but to exe cute all that shall be proposed, given In charge, or discovered unto me, by you or my ghostly lather, or any of his sac red convent. "I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or will of my own or any mental reservation whatsoever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that 1 mav re ceive from my superiors In the militia of tne pope and ot Jesus Christ. "Ihat 1 will go to any part of the woria wnunersoever i may be sent, to the frozen regions of the north, the burn ing sands of the desert of Africa, or the pingleB of India, to the centers of civili zation of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or repining and will be submissive In all things whatsoever, communicated to me. "1 do furthermore promise and declare that 1 will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretely or openly, against all heretics. Protest ants and Liberals as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth, and that 1 will spare neith er age, sex or condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle and burn alive these Infamous heretics; rip up the stomach and wombs of their wo men and crush their Infants' heads against the walls In order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly. I will se cretly use the poisonous cup, the strang ulating cord, the steel of the polnard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the rank. dignity or authority of the person or per sons, whatever may be their condition In life, either public or private, as 1 at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the pope or superior of the brotherhood of the holy father, of the society of Jesus. In confirmation or which I hereby dedi cate my life, my soul and all corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I will subscribe my name. written In my blood, In testimony there of; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethern and fellow soldiers of the militia of the pope cut off my hands and my feet, ana my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein, with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul be tortured by demons in an eternal hell forever. All of which I do swear by the blessed trinity, and blessed sacra ment which 1 am now to receive, to per form, and on my part to keep lnvlolaoly: and do call all the heavenly and glorious host of heaven to witness these, my real intentions, to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof 1 tatie tnts most holy and blessed sacrament of the eu charlst, and witness the same further, with my name written with the point of this dagger, dipped in my own blood, and seal in the face of this holy convent.
