BELLEFONTE, REPUBLICAN W. W. BROWN, A.B. HUTCHTSON, $2 per Annum, In Advance, a SS I BELLEFONTE, PA, Wedn esday Morning, January 27,J'69 Epirons, The Failure of Protestanism. Our learned theologizai friend from Towa, Michigan sud Kentucky, who furnishes political wisdom and pure morals for Centre county Democracy, ‘has last week further ventured into the deep waters of Politico-Religious-His- torical Philosophy. And the astound- ing discovery he makes is, that one Rev. Ewer, —a ewer evidently filled with murky water,—who has declared latterly that the Protestant religion isa ‘failure —is right. Hear the wisdom of the Watchman; “What has been the cause of the ‘* decline of the Protestant religion, let *‘ those answer who have prostituted ‘*it to all manner of secular uses and ‘‘abuses. For years the Protestant ‘* religion has been made the sustain- *‘ing pillar in the fabric of politics. — ‘““Not only in our own country, bat ‘‘ throughout the world, it has been ‘‘ prostituted from its original high ‘‘ aim to the uses of poiiticians, as a at Mepping stone to power and place. ‘In England Protestantism is a part “of government, and its prosoriptive ‘‘ legislation against those who differed “with it, has recoiled upon the ‘' church ofitsauthors, and it is sick “with the poisons of itown emissirn. ** Church and State united is der(h to ‘* both church and State. It i:scarce- ‘ly necessary to refer, even in this ‘‘ article, to its history in the United ‘ States, as made for it by religious . and political fanatics: *' From witch- burning on the banks ‘ of the Connecticut two centuries ago, i | i than for the Churches whose religious zeal he managed to press into his serv. ice. That Protestants made all the wars, is quite the richest joke we have yet heard. But the point that so gravely troubles our contemporary, is what he calls ‘the late bloody war between tho States, ‘and it was Protestant™anaticisim that made that. Now, as but a very small number of our Protestant church- ¢s ever forbade slaveholding, and ag the rebellion was made principally to save that institution from the advancing | tide of freedom and good morals, and was warmly supported by the Protest ant South, there may be some truth in the charge that Protestaut fanatics made this war, for blinder fanatics than the devotees of slavery never lived. — But as our friend of the Watchman seems to forget that Catholics and Pro- testants alike took part in the war on both sides, that the Catholic, unlike the Protestant Churches, always con- demned slavery, that the Great Arch- bishop, Hughes, of New York, was one | of the most active and zealous of the friends of the Union, that the minis ters of both churches, and of all, took part on both sides, we cannot see that Protestantism, as such, is responsible for the war, ani we can see that its carnage ang outrages, its blood and horrors, its losses and sufferings, its crimes and woes are all chargeable to the Democrats of the South, and their pro-slavery and State sovereignty al- | lies of the North. Catholic, Protestant, Infidel and Heathen alike. But is Protestanism a failure ? { our churches but relics of a Theology | that has left minds of the people, but only the evi no convictions in the | dence of a grand structure deserted by ‘* to the lowest depths of Black Re- | “ publican hatefulness all over the ‘land, in the past ten ‘‘ aver been present and t ‘‘ struments of wrong mountain high, ‘“ the leaders and fanatics of the | *‘ testant church. The late bloody war ‘‘ between the States, as well asthe ma ‘““ny terrible wars which have prece- | aries, nor do they fail to *‘ ded it since the Reformation obtain- ** ed power, are more or less attribu- ““ table directly to the interference of | their re ** Protestant fanatics in the temporal | pended more money in the last five | ‘‘affairs of governments and peo- | years for religious “ples. gt have | e chief in- | *po- | [| That either Protestanism, or any | other form of Religion, has been made | in these quiet & ‘‘ pillar in the fabric of politics, new doctrine. 1 ever heard politicians accused of being | 1.00 filer too religious.

In the same numbe of the Watchman we find the follow r ing item: ‘The Bible is nowp rinted in over tw ‘hundred different languages.’ The BinLe—God's best gift to man; a compendium of all valuable wisdom a reservoir of all true morality; the source of all enlightened vhilosophy: | wie rliefi ing ce « ill en thtened philosophy; ut notwithstanding revolutions and re- | consistent with the truths of SCION La sistance, those Governments and that | and beautiful in its simplicity and elo Church are, neither of them, dead But these countries are being grad ually foreed to tolerate other Religions, and the power of the Clergy in all | child lands is being rapidly weakened | quence as the Heavens whose Creator This Bible is printed in all freely to all the And by whom?

But England, which he cites, has led all monarchical coun- tries in extending toleration to dissent- ing Churches, has removed religious disabilities, and is now first in history to relinquish Feelesiastical authority, and disestablish her Church in the Kingdom of Ireland. And leading in such movements and advocating such doctrines in Austria, Spain®and Eng- land, are to be found the liberal and progressive parties, not the conserva- tive, the parties that sympathize with, and are aided by the Republican party of this country, the men who did not hope for our defeat, but for victory in the war. | i i i Priests call it a delusion to the way- faring man, and lock up the sacred book. and turn over only their cullings and garblings of its pages; not by the Catholie charch, for they deny even | { their own translation to the free use of | ¢ their people, in every land where they | have power enough to do so, and dis courage it even in this land where free | dom and progress has bent and swayed Are | Why build | sins that destroy them. And we have ofien observed that our Democratic friends find no fualt with the preachs ers who made the pulpits of the South platforms, whence the erusade against {our Union was most ably preached, not | against men who, like Revs, Dean, { Burr and Chambers, preached slavery and secession from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, The Watchman gaining a hearing among our Democratic friends by its position as the organ of Democ racy has no more right to endeavor to | destroy the faith of its readers in their Churches, than has the minister to use | the advantage his pulpit gives bim to advocate his personal or partizan docs | trines. And we opine that it will be hard to convince the followers of Lu- { ther and the Reformers, in Centre | connty, that their religion is a delusion, their churches stained with all the { bloodshed since the Reformation, their { history ending in a disgraceful failure, | and that their leaders, and servants, and martyrs of old, have labored and | died in vain, | “Brick Pomeroy Unmasked ‘When | Rogues fall out, &c." | | A few weeks ago, the Assistant Fd- { itor of the Watchman announced, with a flourish of trumpets, and a great deal | of modesty, that he had written a BOOK entitled *' Brick Pomeroy Unmask- ed." “Oh that mine enemy had written a book'’ said Job.

That Protestantism a failure!

' Puritaniom."’ — Where were puritans taught intoler- ance, sud the use of foree to propagate religion, but by the persecutions they suffered for their cause? How long did it take them to get up to the high standard of religious liberty their sons enjoy, and who planted and watered the tree that on this soil has grown so large and strong as to securely shelter mén in the worship of God, no matter what their religions may be. And since the Reformation all wars have been made by Protestant interference with temporal affairs, have they? If that means that it has grown 50 as to draw upon it the vindictive attacks of those who feared it, it may be, instan ees eauld be found to sustain its truth. But the assertion is absurd. Half these wars have been between Cailolic pow. ers. Bome have shown alliances of Catholic with Protestant. and both with Mahometanism. The civil wars of Eng land were for Crowns, and not Church. es, down to Cromwell's day, and he State, and gave it protection and free dom in all its forms! Protestanism is not a failure. Chris. tianity will not dic out. Whether the time, include the world, or another form better, and nobler, and freer than cach or all, time may tell; but our modern red-hot democrats will find, though the doctrines of the churches may antagonize their political notions of morality, the party, and not the church, will be found 10 have written on its banners, *' Failure,” We have no quarrel with the churches.
