Say what, is-the matter with friend POMEROY.
Oh what-is the matter, come tell, if you know,

For the caucus, we had, was a splindid affair,
And the friends 0’ me country were ivery one

A splice of a green horn, was Chairman, you

And a spruce-looking fellow was called on to
blow.
And the way he wint on for about half an hour.
Was a t-rate, to a true-blooded Irishman, sure;
Like a Sampson he swung the jaw bone of an
ass,
Till Ithought ivry native was breathing his
last. ‘
The Whigs. they came in for a pretty good

And the Temperance folks,-—he made ‘em all

But the Know Nothings, they were all put to

And their miserable carcasses thrown over-
\bourd. ~

And he let himself off‘ in an ilegant rage,
But the way he came, down, on the back of

Upset the Maine Law-—go the whole nigger-

Raise plenty of wool, and have plenty of grog.
And they tell me the Speakers were born over
here, '
But sich an idea is decidedly queer,
For of all the mean tricks that a Yankee
would do :
He would niver berate his owx countrymen so.‘
Ah, ne-‘er have Ifseen sich a meeting before,
Since I sit myself down, on this bigoted shore;
And I’m thinking the likes -‘ll be looked for in
vain,
Unless we go back to Kilkenny. again.
And sure, ’twas "a brotherly mateing, indeed;
Where honor was done to the Pope and his
creed ; -
Where these native born men, where no better
than dogs,
Compared with MEN rm-zsir rnoii rni: 1..ix1) or

And in order to do up the thing very nice,
They gave us a lot of most precious advice:
“ Come on for ye’r votes, when the polls first
begin,
And we’ll show you just where you must put
- the thing in.”
The Election came on, and we all were on hand,
A true rumocratic, brave, corduroy band,
The battle was fought, and the victory won,-

And 1 axed him where ’twas, we’d got sich a

Mn. CHAIRMAN :-—’I‘he consideration
of questions affecting Churcli and State
in :1 Legislative body, is a novelty that
may well awaken the "interest of sects
and of parties. 'I.‘hc apology for the
fact, is found in the riecessitics of the
times. One clnssof men fear that the
tendencies of the State are too inelig-
ious. Another class apprelientl that
they are too heretical. One pulpit fears
the State is infidel. and another ‘church
‘assnils it for disturbiiig doctrines and
dogmas sanctified by age and deemed
essentzal to cliurcii supremacy. IL is
due to those who resent the State to
vindicate by llH:Il‘ullOll, the Legisla-
tive lirancli of the goveriimeiit from all
such reproachos, and the more so as so
many have shown a disposition to assail
our government for its infidel tenden-
cies. I
In the remarks I propose to make. I
shall aim to show that the political State
is Prolestam in iis character. if not in
its Constiliit.on—-ilian its Republicaii
success has been mainly fouiiiied upon
its Protestant l‘(:lIg_{!0l'l, that other sys-
with
true civil and religious liberty, that. the
bill before us is a I legiiiiiiate subject of
legislation,_and that we are called upon
to ujilioldjiiid encou'ra_;_;e all who are
seeking to secure civil and religious iii-
depeudr.-nce from the control of a des-
potic’: power, The State CUIISXIIUIIOD
and the Constitution of the Federal
Government, though gra_i'it'ing complete
tolerance, are founded upon this rock
and whosoever would remove It, would
destroy all that gives 'it moral perma-
nence and security.
The petitioners, however, who pray
for I change of law are here as Catho-
I IIC9. They claim privileges belonging
6 to them as American citizens. They
have come to us as the Catholics went
to the British Parliament to bedelivered
from the act. of 1699, which compelled
them either to be outlaws from their
country, or enemies to theigfaith. They
have come as other British Catholics
went to a Protestant Parliament to re-
.monsLrate in -favor of the Catho}Ecs.—
Since then, a more liberal and Catholic
spiritlins prevailed among Protestants
throughout. the civilized world.
The petitioners pray the Legislature
for the passage of a law eiif..rc'mir, un-
der sufficient penalties, a faithful com-
pliance WIIII existing statutes, respec-
ting the tenure of church property.—
They say that to the true Catholic it is
painful to be brought in antagonism
with his Bishop and spiritual guide, but
that such a law will prevenl‘. this un-
pleasant condition of affairs. By no
portion of our community, they add,
will the enforcement of such a statute
be hailed with greater satisfaction than
by intelligent and faithful Catholics.
They also state in their prayer, “that
for no higher offence than simply refu-
sing to violate the trust lawvof our state,
we have been subjected to the pains of
cxcommunication, and our names held
up to infamy and reproach. For this
cause, too, have the entire congregation
been placed under him (the Bishop.)-—
To our members, the holy rites of bap-
tism and of burial have been denied.—
The marriage sacrament is refused. The
priest is forbidden to minister at our al-
tars. In sickness, and at the hour of
death, the holy consolations of religion.
are withlield. To the Catholic church,
man, it is scarcely posssible to exaggér;
ate the magnitude of such deprivations.’
“We yield to none," they add, "in
attachment to our religion, and cheerful-
ly render to the Bishop that obedience,
in spiritual matters, which the just. in-
terpretation of our faith may require; but
in respect to the temporalities of our
church, we clai the right of obeying
the laws of the state, whose protection
we enjoy.”
They remonstrate as free citizens,
against the one.man dominion of Bishop
Timon. They decline to submit
to the arbitrary decision of Father
Bedini sent to this State and to the St.
Louis church, by the Pope and Propa-
ganda of the College of Rome, to de-
cide for one Bishop against nearly a
whole congregation of believers.
I have never read a more earnest, elo-
quent, or seemingly truthful petition
than this emanating from the trustees of
the St. Louis church of Buffalo. I be-
lieve what. is set forth in the memorial
to be the vuth, and so believing I should
hold myself to be most unworthy of the
place I hold, if I was not ready to raise
my voice and give my vote, in so just. a
cause for the weak against the stroiig.
I would do here for the Catholic
Trustees of this any other Catholic
church, just what I would do for the
Protestant Trustees of a Protestant
cliurch—no more and no less.
my education, my faith, my hopes of
iiappitie.-s, here and hereafter, to be
funnded upon the Protestant religir-n.-
My prejudices, too,l am also free tosay,
are Protestant. It would grieve me to
ilie lieari, to see a child of iniiie educa-
ted iuthe forms aii.l doctrines of the
Romisli church; and if such a calamity
were likely to befall me. I slionlil pray
G-odinost devouily to let Lllal. cup pass
:rom my lips.
Nevertheless, Mr. President, I would
as a legislator, grant all the, rights to
Catholic believers, that I would grant
to the believers of any other creed.-—
They have the same right to their faith
that I have to mine. I distinguish too,
between believers and systems of belief.
I think that men may be better than
their system, as they may be worse. At
least it is a cardinal principle of every
true faith, that as far as possible we
ought to live in bonds of charity with
all mankind. I believe too, that the
practical lives of men in the church, in
the state, in the family, in business, and
in the direction of an enlightened con-
soieuce, are of far more importance than
any church creed. The poet parapha
sing what Bolingbroke wrote, inculcated
a true philosophy, if not the highest
Christianity, when he uttered the tho’t
“For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight.‘
His can’t be wrong‘, whose life is in the right.”
I am not prepared to say that men like
Feiielon may not be as good Christians
as the best of us. But. to come back to
the subject. '
The independent church movement
started in this state, and caused by oc-
currences which have transpired at Buf-
falo, Rochester and elsewhere, are sym-
pathized with and encouraged, more or
less, throughoutthe land. I recall the
recent outrage ‘upon Father Brady at
Hartford, CJDIL, as an event addressing
itself to the syinpatliies of the civilized
world. This man sickened and died in
the discliarge of his priestly duties. His
pathway to the grave was one of strife
and battle. I-Ie appropriated $20,000 of
his own means, and all he could beg from
others, to erect a house of worship.——
He was a good man, beloved by his fol-
lowers, and respected of all men who
knew him. But he was displeasing to
his masters, and therefore banislied from
his flock, excluded from his own church
and for a time denied the right of mass
and sepulture, in the very church and
churchyard whose walls he had built,
and whose altars he had consecrated.-
Hiswroiigs, at least, are not forgotten
by his faithful followers, nor by those
who cherish a true man, no matter what.
his creed, if devoted to (‘rod and [.0 duty.
In the same spirit, the Roiiiisli Bishop
uf Hartford has S0ll:"Il€ to establish a‘
Romish German church in the city of
New Haven. The German Catholics
there, who are of sterner szuif than
their Irish brethren (I quote their own
words,) have reiiiuiisiraied, and
Resolved, That we, Roman Catholics, ear-
nestly protest against such proceedings, and
declare to the Right Rev. Bishop that we do

Resolved, That we have suffered already in
our old fa herland too much from priestcraft
and kingscraft; and that we are here in our
new home, thank our Lord and God, in at least

that‘ we are free from that yoke. and that eve-
ry one of us can worship his God according to
his best belief and conscience.”
A mandate from Rome has just new

PBOPIG there. deeply aggrieved, as they
say, by the departure from amongst
them of their beloved clergy, who havg
been endeared to them Ly a faimf.-,1 and
exemplary discharge of duty for several
years, unanimously resolve, as did the
church of St. Louis for a time:
“That we bow with the most profound res-
pect and ‘reverence to bur Church and Bishop
but as we do not deem the reasons assigned
for the removal of our clergy to be satisfacto-
ry, we humbly approach the Holy See, as the
unerring arbiter of j ustice in the matter.”
I shall not pause here.to ask, who this
nnerring arbiter ofjnslice is, but I may
show hereafter, that he is both a tempo-
ral and a religious prince, and demands
obedience, hardly more in reference to
the dogmas of the clinrch, than to sus-
tain dominion in the state.
What is true of the members of the
St. Louis church, is true of many in my
own city,of many, as we know, in New
England, at the_\vest. and in all parts of
the land, and I would fain hope through
out the worid. Indeed, from the St.
Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico, and
frorq America to Italy the control of
church property’, is now engaging the
earnest attention of_ihe_ Christian world.
Roman Catholicism, Mr. Chairman, in
all matters of power, is grasping endog-
gressive. ' It is wedded to the principles
of despotism. It makes the Pope -the
supreme governor of the world, and sec-
ond only to the Creator. I‘Iis power as
a successor of St. Peter and Christ, as
he claims to be, even at Rome, comes
not from the people of Italy, but from
an assembly of cardinals convened at
Rome. The Pope would not consent,
nor would the Cardinals consent, nor
would the Bishops consent, that their
chief should pan with his temporal sway
and dominion. I propose to offer some
proofs of what say. The present. Pon-
tiff in his ecclesiastical letter, dated Gm-
ta, in 1849, said: .
“The spiritual power could not be separa-
ted, nor do without the temporal dominion,
it being necessary to keep them united in or-
der to maintain the splendor and grandeur of
the Catholic Church.” .
The Pope rejected the Roman Cons-
titution, stealihily fled from the Vatican
and from Rome, from country and from
people, because among other things, the
first sentence in that constitution declar-
ed "sover’ei5_vnty is by eternal right in :he
people,” and because it was also declared
in that constitution that. .
“The Roman Republic provides for the edu-
cation of every citizen in order that each one
may meliorate his own condition by industry,
work and enterprise.” ,
The Pope was not. willing to accept
the condition of religious or church in-
dependence, eagerly tendered him in the
7th and 8th constituent principles of the
proposed republic, and what were they
lst. That the Catholic religion is the reli-
gion of the State. The use of civil and polit-
ical rights does not depend on religious creed.
‘id. The Head of the Catholic Church shall
have from the Republic all necessary guar-
a-ntcesfor the independent exercise of his
Spiritual Power.” -
But it. is denied in Congress and else-
where, that the Head of the Church of
Rome exercises temporal power. As
well deny that the sun shines or that
there is the Sec of Rome. What was
it. but this Papal See that destroyed
Frederick II for defending his Civil
B.i_r|it.s against Ecclesiastical usurpa-
Lions? Three generations passed away
before the Secular Power gained its as-
cendancy upou a field of blood, and in
all ages there have been the same exam-
ples of audacity. I -
We feel this Papal Power far less in
the United States than in Europe, be-
cause there it is more associated with
ignorance, superstition and ‘despotism.
Behold what it has done, or rather left
undone for Italy—for Spain—and for
Ireland, and the evil it has wrought in
these countries it would do for us, if it
should. The system is relaxed here be-
cause free educated men can not hear
such restraints.
Already there are a cordon of Bish-
ops, Priests and Vicar Generals stretch-
ing from the Atlanticto the Pacific.—
‘About 3,500,000 of its votai-ies are now
in the United States, besides sixteen
hundred Priests, forty Bishops, seven
Arclibishops, one hundred colleges, sev-
enteen hundred churches, numerous con-
vents and nunneries, and all these are
banded and combined, and not divided as
are the Protestants into many sects. The
supremacy of the Church over the State,
so far from being untrue, is almost a
church dogma, and the Romanist who
to day would, if need be, sacrifice the
State for the Church would be sainted,
blessed and shrined at Rome. I have
been amazed to hear any one deny this.
It is recorded in church canons and
church bulls over and over again. It is
written upon a thousand pages ofchurcli
|iis'ory, and for many centuries of time.
In this free land the few Catholics
boriiupon the soil. like those from Ma-
ryland, and of which Charles Carroll was
a type, and some few educated persons
under the influence of more intelligent
ideas of personal liberty and priestly au-
thority, decline to submit to the tyranny
of Pontifical power. But all Priests
know that the entire subjection of~the
world to the Pope, and by what is called
divine right, is a doctrine promulgated
to them, and iuculcated by them. Eter-
nal damnation, indeed, by more lliauone
Papal Bull is held to be the certain pun-
ishment of unbelieuers and heretics.-
Let me read extracts from some of these
oaths, anaihemas and excommunications
liere,and then let the intelligent judg.
merits of man answer what must be the
moral and political effect of a power con-
centrated all over the world, and built,
upon a foundation of Fear, Despotism
and Ignorance.
I now read the curse pronounced by
the Papal Church against all who leave
it Ior any evangelical church:

If it be true that curses, like chickens
come home .0 roost, upon the power
which has involved such‘ maledictions,
curses have fallen like liailstones. The
curse has returned to plague the invent-
or. But let me read on, and first from
the secret instructions of the Jesuits,
and then from their oath:
[i\Ir. Brooks then produced a copy of
these secret instructions, in English and
Latin, as follows :]
f‘Lct ‘Kings and Princes be kept up in this
principie, that the Catholic faith as marters
now stand. cannot submit without thear civil
power. which must be managed with the ut-it‘
most discretion. By IIIISUICSIIIS our members

Look now to the council of Trent for
evidence of this supremacy of'powe'l'.—
Picture. for a moment that city, which
from 1545 to 1553 was the scene of—"so
many convocations, ceremonial: and die-
plays. About a day’: ride from‘ Vfllicc,
amidst a delightful valley oftllei _AIpo,
and on the river Adige in thcspot eclec-
ted by Paul the Third, and at thalliu-
ment when the Emperor Charles it-mm
kingwar upon the Prorestanta,'to ieeuro
reforms in the abuses of the‘ -church.-
And what is the Reformation“-‘produced
by this labor of eighteen yearn?‘ In Va.
ry beginning is a solemn determination
to extirpate all Heretics, and its -closing
labors are the utterances, of ‘aii‘a‘t'hom‘ao.
“Cursed be all heretics," ex:-laims Car-
dinal Lo'rraiue.~ "Cursed," ' "cursed,"
cries the council of 255 Prelatésr And
what are its decrees? That no'"bible
shall be sold, without license, except up-
on the pains and penalties of that uioital
sin which is neither to be_for’g"iV‘el'1Wn

is of equal authority with the “Bible,

that Luther and Zivingli, are enemies
of the Pope, that the Pope shall‘ “decide
upon the admission of the ‘cl)p1'nt6"lhe

upon what books may be used, and-what

the Pontiff alone could determine the

that these Scriptures cguld aloné be used
