'a o o o jt ql fflculty by special pleading, by sophistry, and what is worse, an open perversion of facts. Its effort may be reduced to these three Mia-ds: 1st. That the Church did. not save the ff a s, but was a mercileses extermi .ntor; 2d. That it has permitted the-sur: vivors of the native tribes to retain all their barbarism and to dragdown the white population to their-own level, and id. That even granting the Church did save the endainsr; it wis iothlqg great after all, but rather ridicutlos. To show. the merciless character of the Church in its dealings with the Indians the Presbyterian - commences with the follow ing ominous languageo: Thlie history of the kindness of tIhe o,)mi h Church to the Indians is dbm ttie &lelve-s of our public library. Very true.! Hisatory t written by gen lemenflie or 'resbrhirian friends, who ' having eyes will not see," is lclentiful not only in our public library, but in our pub ic schools.- From the highest to the low est-down to Peter Parley and his honest imitators, the policy is the same as that ex- ' emplified in this very editorial of the Pres ytecrian, though not so barefaced in its ap plication. IHere goes the Presbyterian: t When Pizarro initiated his converthig con nest of Peru, he announced himself an agent L no representative of Romanisum. Of course; the Inca is made a prisoner; Pi- P a-rro agrees to ransom liim for an immense urn of gold, which is paid; the Inca is then, y Ronmish kindness, cond mned to be burned a death. 2 - Cortes, in Mexico, represented himself as to exponent and representative of Romanism, a nt he has never been denied to be such. His a rt act on arriving in, Mexico was to bnrn, ive, the general and officers of a body of pla n rness. 1 transtg a this to be true, does the dic tum of Pizarro or Cortes bind the Church T They announced themselves as agents of the Church; did that make them such T Is the spirit of the Church to be sought in the bloody records of every military ad venturer that thirsts for wealth and re I nown, because he may chance to be a. bad Catholic T Why, Garibaldi is a Catholic; Victor Emmanuel would not dare deny himself to be one; no doubt Lafitte, our Louisiana pirate; was a Catholic; all the buccaneers of the Spanish Main were Ca tholics,as are now all the bandits of the Italian mountains. Is the Church respon sible for all her bad children who disobey her Tnjunctions? Was Judaism to be charged with the worship of the golden calf, or Christianity with the treason of Iscariot ? TL tu., rI~t.Imue& iw ix rnnocenty-: cords the protest of Catholicity a gain: the works of iniquity. It says: Oriedo Valdes records the story of the awful crneltles perpetrated upon these poor people in the West Indies. Las Casae, Bishop of Chia pas, gave an aeeonlu of the general system of policy adopted towards the Indians, which thriltgd all mpse with horror. Where was the protest of Protestantim against the extermination of the aborigines Throughout Puritan America t But the question is beyond argument. Results speak for themselves. The facts' stand patent to all men who, having eyes, ae-willing to see, and are not determined to go on along the brink of the precipice, I the blind leading the blind, until all tuns- 4 ble over together. The facts simply are I that the aboriginal population is still in habiting the Catholic countries of America, from Canada to Patagonia, while Puritan- i asm has gotton rid of it. Facts are stub- s born logic. All the sophistry of the evil one himself can't get around them. We need not inquire whether Cortes or Las t Casas was the genuine Catholic. The po- I tency and the humanity of Catholic influ- t 0nce'stand recorded beyond cavil in the present existence of so many. millions of r Indians in all the countries where that influence has sway. 1, The second proposition of the Presby- ow teriai is equally untenable. It is set forth In theiTform or a queuntt'-- We would be glad to know, then, how kind- in ness to the Indians not only perpetnatcd their Is barbarism, but also reduced barbarism that a part of the population which was originally Wil civilised ! r And says the Presbyteri s : T"j Indian. constitglt$ only two-Jlfths of that Is either of thesempropsitions true ?

Some remants of bar barism theriffore yet exist among those people. The statement of the Inldian population of Mexico at only two-fifths is simply an error, while the inference that the remain ing three-fifths are "white Is something worse. The white population of Mexico is about one-tenth of the :vbole. .Why, therefore, attempt to give the imdpression, without daring to say it in at nman words, that the white population is three-fifths! About fout-sevenths of. the people are pure Indians. Two-sevenths more are-their de. scendants of mixqd blood, and the remain ing one-seventh is part Caucasian and part African. But even if all these things are trn,-, the Presbylterian considers them a matter of but small importance. We accused. thatt paper of suppressing-un explanation which accounted satisft.t-torily for the prevaletnce of a barbarian element in CathiollfT-i-i-ni tries of America. That explanation was simply that the Church had sla'ed the In- I lian tribes. In excusing itself for sup pressing that fact, the Presbytcrian says: t This unsitntainled asserti,,n is the mighty roiittderation whitchi we to uingeteronsl\ sl p" prl·'sed. No\'. instead of .a:ghing at what ( vill appear to oa r readers a gross ab1slrdit\.. let us s'ippose the assertion to ie made in gia;l laih. t Saving the existence of whole intionls - nay not te a it ighty iot)vidcrnt i n wit I hoie followers of Calvin now, any imori c hanl it was when they exterminated the ndians of this country. 'Nobody expects ( ulery of them when they have power. t lut we are not accustomed to seeing thel v augh. That muscular action does not suit s he real Calvanistic countenacee. In Oli- c er's time they• were given to short hair, an at they always' had long faces. They a eight be expected to give a groan of disap- v oidutment at hearing of any of the ungodly t] eathen being spared, but to laugh at it! b 'ruly that' is a modern innovation, which h Inst have come in along with the organ p od opera music in the churches. However, a s even the hyena laughs, why not Calvin 1 n n As we anticipated, this demonstration has turned out to be an honor to the par" ish of St. Stephen, and acredit to the Ca tholic cause in our community. Twenty seven hundred people in one procession, in cut up into twenty-odd distinct societies 1 and organizations, their banners floating in the wind, their bands filling the air with Smartial strains of music, and a noble statue ofthe Blessed Virgin borne aloft in triumph, is a sight worth seeing and wor r thy to raise an emotion of joy in thoe heart I of every Catholic. As in our last issue we indicated the e route to be followed by the procession, we shall content ourselves at present with giv ing a list, in the order of march, of the com e ponent parts of the procession, viz.: Young Mena' Catholic Association, with ,their band; St. Aloysius Society, of the Fourth District; St. Stanislaus Society, of St. Ste LSchool Boys of Bt.

C To say that the highest anticipations of e everybody were more than realized would I be but just. The lovely afternoon thati smiled on the occasion was in perfect keep ing with the beauty of the noble display t which was gotton up simply in honor of the gracious Queen of Heaven.

Some have even had the " boldness to declare through the press, of late, that there is no possible discharge of Sour natiownal debt unless we adopt the Euro pean form of government." We think that a clue to the present movement may be found in the words which we italicised in the above quotation. i The national debt is not secure as things stand. The bondholders are in danger. A foreign war, a popular revulsion of feeling, a separittioa cf. the States, might at any n .i.e *pduncerepudiation, and therefore it is to the interest of the great moneyed aris tocrasy, who hold the bonds, that there ._hauld_ e .R strong central despotism, in whlich would by merged the last, preten. sionus to State rights, and all influenuce of the popular voice. here we see distinctly the illustration ofi tihe old ducth ia:e that. ane sin begets the ne cessily for anotithe:, nanl geni.rally a wor(se - one..

It w-as deemed :ececssary, duriag the. Confederate war, to violate the Constitu tion ill various ways-to exceed the powers i which it gave, and to disregard- its most solenin prohibitions--in order that the se cession of the Southern States might be more successfully resisted. Everything appeared to work well, the seceding States were coerced, and the plaster of success hid the wounds to honor and justice which had been inflicted at the call of necessity. But hidden sores are the worst. The wrongs perpetrated to save the Republic entailed an ijmmense debt, and now the Republic must be sacrificed to save that debt. Would .i I ma rst withouat the debt 7 At worst, there would have been two Repub lics. When will our politicians learn that the ends never justify the means? But are the people ready for this stain pede of the panic-stricken bondholders?, HIas this Imperial movement any real foun- t dation in the popular heart? We have not yet been able to discect any indications to that effect. It is but a natural sequence ini tile minds-of the unscrupulous politicians who originated the debt. They stopped at nothing which appeared to stand in the way of their desires at that time, and.they stand as ready now to accomplish what- t ever may seem desirable. They have not now, however, the enthusiasm of a mad- P -dening war to distract the attention of the " people from their cloven foot; it will be impossible to get up a popular furor in fa- i rof of the bondholders or any of their ci schemes. tl '-f-- -Nomi httanding the corruption and spairing of Republicanism yet. It must be observed that every people has its peculiar - national inspiration. The inspiration of I this people is Democracy. We do not use f the word in a partisan sense, nor pretend to decide what party is, has been, or will be truly and really -Democratic. But it t may beremarked, en passant, that every party, so far, which has opposed the Dem ocratic instincts of the people, has passed away. Federalism first went the way of all things perishable. The Whigs then made a mighty and most gallant struggle for the dominibno in politics. Clay and Webster headed by far the larger portion of the wealth, intelligence and aristocracy of the land. Their varied schemes of bril liant results, by using government for pur- I poses not strictly contemplated by- the Constitution, for a time divided the coun try in an evenly balanced and hotly fought contest. ]But after all, tl.e unwashed and unterrified couldn't see it. The Democratic inspiration of the people prevailed, and WVhiggery was put on the shelf forever. Gentility and intelligence having tried their hand unavailingly, gave way and were succeeded by a party based on pas sion and ruali.juialm. Know NothingisUm laid uside, for iTie moment, the urbanlle manners f' the high-toned gentleman and resorted to brute force. The contest was shorter than before; tie people triumphled I again. Now, two parties again occupy the arena. Which is truly Democratic T Whichever is will probably win. One of these partiess is cropping out in Imperialism.

They will bear untold evils first. Like the poor Mexican, they will submit to anarchy, pil lage, everything, in the hope of one day emerging from the chaos with their proe cious boon of freedom saved. It is useless toitalk to them of the momentary relief affor1ied by an enmpiro. A man whose pa trimony is involved may experience tem porary relief by applying to. the usur'ers, but if he has the true spirit of manhood, lihe will rather struggle for awhile with the disagreeable realities of poverty, if thereby lie may rescue the home of his fathere from the hand of the stranger. The day may come when our people will be effeminate enough and degraded enough to take refuge from the cares of life under a master who shall see to their wants, but we are confident that the Americans, as a -people, do not dream of such a thing yet, and if there shall be retained among us enough of true religion and i'irtue to keep I alive the national instinct which God has given us, that day never will come. First Communion. In St. Peter's Church, Third l)i trtict, theitunual first communion of the children took pllace Inst Sunday. As usual with the ceremonies ill that Clhurch, everytling wa conducted iu a style the muist condulcive to devotiot. lThe sitmple flth and piety mau ifcsted in the bearitng of the chtildren, were most ti"thii g and heiattiful. How. such 'ights retall to older het;erts the uays of their early ftervot, their pure intentions, antid thteir juyoils hte !. lItw manyt pros cut at Such scints litist rtilltet thait Im1ttt rer life has bIertn nothing but ]tlhwllotvss and dt splin ititmt nt, wherein it has gone astray from the guiiding resoluttions and holy aspirations of that first glorious al lience. So peDfect were all the arrangements of: the occasion, at St. Peter's, so Catholic the tone of everything done, that very few probably were there who did not go away with their hearts moved and their good resolutions renewed. T'he excellent in struction given by Rev. Jeremiah Moyni han to the children, was one of the most interesting, as it was one of the most useful, incidents of the occasion, and will no doubt contribute in an eminent degree to fix in the hearts of the young communicants the reflttitn and emotions so proper to the momentoussevent in which they. yere par ticipating. lt t momentousevent in which they. '-ere par ticipating. at . The enlony of renewing the baptismal t vo took place in the afternoon, followed JLb the benediction of the Blessed Sacra Siment. The children who made their first 1- comlmunion last year, joined with the class tof this year in this action; making in all. sonic one hundred and twentr. S ,Whatt was peculiarly striking in the de 8portmnent of all the children, was theirgreat t modesty, and recollection, and the thor e ough manner in which thelly appeared to understand'their duties. It was evident that no pains had been spared in training t themljot only in the acquisition of the I l principles of their religion but in conform. e ing with exactitude to its outward forms. e It may be remarked, however, that this is always the case, where there is a paro r chial school. It is almost impossible for the e o--fld time for trhe-th.-oug training- and drilling of one, two or -ree -redl'ilfiT rn w'ich labors become so o easy when distributed among a considers r ble number of teachers. Besides this, there f is an evident difference in the general nman , ner ofsuch children sait those from irre 1 ligious schools. There is a constant watch fulness of the former which produces a modest. and subdued deportment in the children, while at the latter class of schools they frequently become bold and irrever ent. Of course the priest has an immense F ly increased labor when he must undertake to modify their manners and subdue their levity to a tone consonant with the sacred occasion for which they are preparing. If one wishes to see a first communion which shall be really edifying in its marks of de votion and recollection of manner, he must generally select a Church which has a pa rochial school in full and successful opera tion, like that of St. Peter's. .ILAKEIYA & I [mi.iN,.-In tlieso days, wlllay c / wlnn' ri~ght a rn, ia , , tct in s-ol , aA n dlt mlmpitm ent h-id t l imiIv- ir y[i- lbw ir r-ai r itheir d'-Lata tl ini , bs oi nlllot rom ill ,fo n Ilrre, w ce in, gladl to kowlhi t llat t F w-er,. .l imping thc ro sii .d " MaI ny ; ht f,,ut ,h , 1,, h .ue,,, slrt i ii ~r i, the thenti. m.;: ' n. t's theLyt pm titla, t rl ,.hinp c re ou i r, walk. ai r ,it, i a, ,Ii a l . i.. , thL a I..u t" lh , ligh , t' is . i.nrdl i , eimi ! ke. ,l lrln--- "',ll, I I met 4 o hf No aridr , ie h I (" - a Ir.g t Hl bn"r .t er tl I, i t.

Where the secular system exists, it interferes with no man's peace; it h!as been the triumph of liberal legisla - tion. Well, now, whatare the last accounts from Prussia In one school, the master teaches the children atheism; the Catholic p parents appeal against kinM , but fail to s obtain redress. In a quarter of Berlin in Swhich there are 350 Catholic children attending a Catholic school, masters are to be appointed without reference to their i creed, and all religious instruction is to be Sbanisaed from the regulair system ofschools. Thq Catholics of Berlin know not to what lengths, and in how many schools, the religious instruction is to be compromised. I A wide-spread Catholic movement is man ifesting itself in - Prussia against the Prusesian system of education. AtCrefield, an immense meeting lately called for distinct Catholic education for their children. At Breelan and in Silesia there lhas been the sajmeenthusiasm. In Nassau, above fifty-two thousand signatures have been added-b4 the petition in favor of a change in the Prussian system and in favor of distinctly Catholic schools. A Prussian privy councillor, well known for his topposition to Catholic principles, lately declared that tie state of his country had at length becorne so utterly unchristianl, that it nwas ilillosiible noit to recognize tlihat it was ripe tfor the coming of Anti christ.
