Mr. Jefferson had said of General Jackson, after the victory of Now Orleans, that he filled the measure of his country’s glory. But the patriotic American a peo ple proclaimed, when the old hero carried the constitu- tion unhurt through the struggles with nullification, | cause. To counteract this coalition, the Americam that bis name would hereafter stand by.the side of | party propose to modify the naturalization laws, and te Washington as the preserver of the Uni enter into politica) brotherhood with ne ecclesiastic or Yes, gentle- men, it was bere in New York, that countless thousands came forward to greet the old hero, New England not less than Now York saluted with the acclamation of joy and love the man who, when the safety of the consti- tution was threatened, declared fearlessly that he would not survive its fal, but would uphold it, come what ht. Now, gentlemen, this Whs cemocratic practice in 1882. Let us now see how General Pierce has acted in a crisis which he bas admitted to be full of similar: to us and to our . When the compromise was passed you all know thaf there was o party, called at the forth “abolitionists, and at the South nulliders, who insisted that that measure was a base surrender of State rights, and who set om foot measures which, if carried out, would have pro- Guced immediate bloodshed and civil war. This part sectarian, who professes to owe 0 to higher than (he copetitution of the United States, ia no wrong here done to any human being fo reigner who has acquired the righta of citizenship, as be Yalues those rights, cannet object to place them Beyond the assaults ready ae end criminals who are landing on our shores by the thousand. Nor ought Catholic to feel surprise thet the American with distrust and apprebension upon a hierarchy in all other countries bas sought to connect the Church and State, and whose history has been one continual struggle for dominion in temporal as well as secular matters. We are charged, gentlemen, with estal a religious test, and assailing the great natural right all human beings to worship Almighty God the dictates of their own conscience. The at the South had an organ whose columns teemed wi! e position of the American on this quee- the dirtiest abuse of every man who would not subscribe 8 clear as daylight. It simply announces te the to its scheme of holding a Southern » with | Catholic bishops that if they aa the to orga- powers not only to declere the compromise unsonstitu- | nize their communicants wit rain bands te litical ee: a system dangerous to Renta, and subversive ot the constitution, it is lawful to op them. We tay that it f¢ law/al to oppose them—by our votes, at tional, but to provide for its resistance, presisely as Routh Cerolina had dope in 1632. When the great and lamented Webster delivered his speech, on the occasion of laying the corner stone of the new capitol, the re- | least—until they can show that their allegiance to sponse of this Southern rights demo sheet was, | to the Pope is subordinate to that of obedience to th that it was s vain ceremony—that the people of the | constitution of the land, The Pope claims infallibility— ere dele reales re eaten ‘ the \- tion of the Union. Gentlemen, one of the first acts of Mr. Pierce was to give the editor of that disunion sheet an important consular sn4 dij atic office. And if you exemine the character of appointments gene- rally, you will find that jn every quarter of the coun’ they have been marked by an 0} contempt for hi profession as a friend of the doctrines of the tic party. Yes, gentlemen, I assert without the fear of successful refutation from any quarter, that the con- duct of President Pierce is distinguished, if distin. yuished for bo tin See isidious opposition to the doc- rine always mai by the democratic party on the the power of pardoning sins. He claims the right of de- posing princes and pote: . Let his followers satiafy us that these pretensions are not them, an@ they will find the American as willing to mee. ‘them in the bonds of a common gael ¢ ss ny other class of churchmen. I this part of the subject with the declaration that the idea incorporated into the platform, that America must rule is old as the constitution, and ‘has been maintained the early statesmen of the fand. It is mot the presorip- tion of the Catholic, but » timely and salutary warning to him that if the influence of his church is prnee inte the political arena, as an element of power, it will be op- posed with cancor and frankness, and I trust with suc- subject of State rights.
