MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1968. . The Romna Catholics and the Blacks. The second Plenary Council of the Romish ' Church in this country has Just finished a two weeks' session at Baltimore. It was very largely attended by the archbishops, bishops, J and priests who constitute the magnates ot that Church. ' Two principal topics are said to have mainly "' occupied the attention of the Council, via., ' the evangelization of the colored population, and the public school system of the United States. In regard to the former of these, It Is the intention of the Romanists to enter at once upon a comprehensive and energetic ' system of proselyteism among the blacks - - of the South. This Is a step taken, not . -only In accordance with the judgment o " the leaders of that Church in this country, l but in obedience as well to express instruc- tiocs from the Pope himself. It cannot be denied that the American freedmen afford, in many respects, a fine field for the proselytizing efforts of the Romish Church. In the first place, they are a sen ' fluous, imaginative race, upon whom the gor geoos and imposing ceremonies of Roman Catholicism, as well as many ot its mysterious - and awe-inspiring doctrines, are well calcu- lated to produce a profound impression. The negro is fond of music, of dress, of formality, Of pomp and ceremony. He is superstitious i and credulous, prone to yield to authority, ' and hence, as a race, peculiarly susceptible to the especial Influences of that Church. The . Success of Romanism with other rude and ' half-educated races shows what we may rea ' sonably look for in this case. 1, A gain, as a Church, the Romish Church has .' a'ways opposed the enslaving of the blacks. We are aware that the influence both of the r leaders 'and of the body of that Church in ' this country has generally been, politically, on the pro-slavery side; but the voice of the Churca ', at large, as authoritatively ex ;;' pressed, has always condemned the exeerable traffic in human flesh. On the contrary, Proles tanism has ior a long time been repre sented at the South by a class of men who i defended slavery as a Divine institution, appointed and sanclioned of God as much as the Christian Church Itself. It cannot but be 1 that this constant association of the defense , of slavery with that form of Christianity with ''which the blacks have hitherto been almost exclusively familiar has had its influence upon them, and an influence, too, which the . Romish priest will not be slow to turn to good account in favor of his own Church. Another element ot strength which: this ' Church will have in its efforts to proselyte the blacks Is its total ignoring of that spirit of caste which so extensively prevails in this country in regard to the blacks, and which 1 has been fostered to a great extent by our Protestant Churches in times gone by, and even yet encounters no efficient and practical opposition from them. To the credit of the Roman Catholic Church it must be said, that it gives a better exemplification of the truth that "God has made of one blood all 'nations to dwell upon the face of the earth," than do' the Protestant churches generally. This will be a great element of strength in its ' labors with the blacks. Finally, the almost entire neglect of the vari ous American Protestant Churches to occupy the field so invitingly thrown open to them by the abolition of slavery, gives the Romish Church a fine opportunity to enter in and take possession of it. We know that something has been done by the Protestant Churches in this direction, but not a tithe of what the importance of the work demands. Here are four millions of people at our very doors, ready and eager for education, anxious to receive the gospel. And yet, how little has done for theta 1 This prompt and energetic action on the part ot the authorities of the Romish Church is in accordance with the far-sighted sagacity which they have always exhibited. It is apparent to every reflecting observer that, at no distant day, the masses of the black popu lation of the South will be Invested with all the rights and privileges of citizenship. They will then form a most influential and import ant element in nearly one-half of the States of the Union. What if, belore that time, the masses of that population shall have been safely gathered within the fold of that Church whose head is at Rome? There la food fer reflection In this suggestion for those Pro testants who believe their form of Chris tianity to be the great bulwark of ctoll and religious liberty. The conversion to Roman Catholicism of the black population of the South will be a long striae towaras masmg that Church the dominant power in this country. ' ' - Indian Troubles. TdKBK are prospects of a more general and terioua outbreak among oar Western Indians than has occurred before for a long time. General Sherman is hurrying troops to the Plains with all possible despatch. The rapid increase ot settlements all through the cen tral regions oi the Rocky Mountains is forcing this Indian problem to a definite settlement Hitherto there has been n system in the matter at all, and it has been terribly mis nonaged. What is needed la some general, well matured plan of operations, covering the whole subject of Indian aflalra, and then its T&orovj M4 feo&eftt uecutlen. As it n THE DAILY EVENING TELEOUAPII. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, is, the Department of Indian Affairs is about the worst-managed and most corrupt of any in the Government. Mormon Outrage. "Thi Denver Newt publishes the following Account of another Mormon outrage. 'We learn that Mr. Weeton. editor of the Salt Lake unxon Vedette, was taken by the Mormons on tee night of tbe Sd instant, and severely boaten, and elven six hours to leave the oily and take with him several prominent Gentiles. Mr. Weston refuses to leave, and denounces Mormoolsm in the bitterest terms.' " Thto gentlemen should be maintained in his position at all hazards. For some time his paper has been waging a vigilant warfare against thts miserable Mormon Imposture, and is a very potent instrumentality in building up a sound public sentiment in Bait Lake. There is now a large antl- Mormon ejement in that city. If it can maintain itself for a short time longer, until the Pacific Railroad shall reach there, tbe question of Mormonism will speedily be settled by the flow of emigra tion to that point.
