shippers resent the innovation? Protestant
Missionaries preach Npentance toward God
They denounce idolatry—either in praying
to itnagesior in praying before them ! They
preach faith in *Teals. They insist upon a
change oheart. They demand a holy life.
This is w tat we , mean by conversion : and
11
we.admit Cathohcinn mal es more con VeTIS
to Art' wiz, than Protestantism ever: has done
in its way. The Archbishop sneers at its
success in the Sandwich Islands; but he for
gets to remind us of the outrage upon Tahiti,
whAv a few years ago; French brandy and
Popery were crowded upon the poor natives
at the cannon's' mouth, and at the point of
the bayonet.
I p.
ass to another poite. Archbishop
Hughes commits the gross injustice of ehnr
ging upon Protestantism the 'infidelity and
the fannticism of all who are not Roman
Catholics in civilized countries. He charge's
all the forms of error which spring from the
perversims and abuse, of the right of private
judgment upon the principle itself: and yet
he ietligremely lepels the suggestion that.
forms of iMidelley hare been developed in
the bosom of the. Church of. Rome. He
says, the emboli:. 'Church possesses "no
charm to prevent:a, man bent on error-from
indulging his propensities." I answer. nei
ther does Protestantism. - He rejoins, the
Protestant preacher men) proclaim infidelity ,
and Lea Protestant still.4l the Catholic priest
" can nev er do so as a' Catholic." Yes. but 1
this is a distinction very much like that made I
by: the feudal Catholic Bishop in the good oldk
times, who seas both a temporal and spiritual
prince, and' who replied when rebuked for
his profanity, that he swore as a Baron and
not as a Bishop: "Butsmy Lord," rejoined
his reprover, "I fear should the Baron be I
damned, the Bishop will not be tar off!" II
can see no advantage in, this distinction be. i
tween teaching infidelity as a man and teach- I
ing it as a Catholic, unless it be this, that he I
is' compelled to keep up an appearance of
conformity, but what is this worth if it be
nee real .? • The sins of infidelity and ration
alism
ate not . legitimate results of the Pro-
testant principle. They are abuses which ;
*Protestantism condemns. and which it never f
has originated. - s ~ . i
But there are •• your Joe Smith and the
Mormons !" Oita Joe Smith ? Why, Joe I
is cut Off by the very terms of our rule,— 1
" the Bible and the Bible only is the religion I
of Protestants ! " He has new revelations ;
and lots of traditions, almost as interesting
as the stories in - Butler's Lives of the - Saints.
We cannot fellowship the Mormons!
" you have ,yOur Father Millers, also!" t •
True there, was a Father Miller some time '
ago. but I believe. he is dead. Well: the i
poor man was mistaken, and he led others
with him, into delusion ! The more is the
pity • but -was ,it the - Bible that deceived
Father Miller, or was it his misapprehension
of it ? If the latter, do not blame our rule. I
It the former, yot - s may safely'denounee the I
right of the laity to read the Scriptures—in 1
that ease, it is a bad book, and you are right I
in condemning it to the flames ! Father Mil- '
let was in error ; but there you kusiw, most
Reverend Sir, it is the lot of a favored few
only to be infallible. • ,
Again the Archbishop is severe on the 1
conventions of women, clamoring for their
"Rights," and he charges Protestantism
with all the eitravngance of such "Con
gresses." Here, however, he-leaves out of
view the important fact that the leaders in 1
this threatened social revolution. do act stand
upon the Protestant platform. They de- 1
nounce the Bible as the greatest hindrance ts,
their success. How then can Proteseareism
be condemned tor originating fanatieism. I
which it most earnestly 'disowns ? So far',
as real grievances -exist in the social condi
tion.
or positiou-Ofswomen, the clear expo.
sition tit the Scriptural principles which air t
ply to her relation in life, will, secure all the'
rights which belong to her. Her experience. 1
all the world- over, has proved that she.is i
safe from oppression only in Protestant l
countries, and-safe onjy when, protected bt 4
the sEg,is of Protestant faith. The gran iI
difficulty in the poSitilsO of Bishop Hughes, I
is found in his perveision of the Protestant I
Rule of Faith. Thetas-oche argument with I
all the advocates of Romaniens is,- that there t
can be do security for the soundness of faith i
in Protestantism, because it tuterls rejects
Church authority. It does not. lust as if
Protestants believed, and' taught that every
man has a perfect moral right. to think as he
pleases in matters of religion,! This is an
absurdity whielis contradicted by the admit
ted truth; that God has prescribed - the arti
cles of religioui belief in that Revolation,
which we make the rule of our Faith. Our ,
creeds and confessions and eatechisms — are I
se mart' traditionary forms, not presented l
as additional Rules of Faith, but nffered as I
exponents of one and the seine rule. They
May differ, and they do differ on sane points:
but in the main, in the leading artieleeot
our eemmon, undoubted Christain' Faith:
they are one. We take the ground and we
,avow the principle,, that "God alone is Lord
of the conscience ' e el hat the Scriptures them
selves demand-am - appeal to their own teach
ing. "To the Law and to the Testimony !
If they speak not according to this rule, it is
because there is no tight in them!" "Search
the Scriptures.". In other words, the Bible l
deals with every, man as accountable to God, 1
it treats him as a rational creature, capable
of understanding the, divine s law, and de
mands of him the right exercise of all his
fatuities in forming his religione principles.
He is to judge for himself, :Ind be'is' to ans
wer to God for his opinions... The - ChurchPf
Rome on the other hand proposes that, even• !,
man shaft trust implicitly to her- sinthority.
You must believe this, because • the. Church I
mashes it. You must receive-this doctrice l
and that usage, though they be not prescrib
ed in the •scharter" 'which God has -given
you, because the Church enjoins them !--,
Xose, as Protestants , we, utterly deny, that ,
God has delegated any such authority to
any hierarchy under heaven! As Protest
ants, we proclaim" the great , principle - of
liberty from the spiritual yoke of man's atf
thority ! We owa none • as head -of the,
Church, save Rim whom God has awaited,
even the Loid Jesus Christ! The whole.
argament of Bishop Thighes tends to the de
struction of this liberty. Ile must have a
Human Head to preside over the Chard:sof

has ' been Used in controversies upon this
point, and I will notice it here,' from a con

to the Protestant side, through' .a failure to

persecuted those whose religious tenets dif

Hunted like wild beasts, they were driven

for no other crime than preferriug the truth
of God to the fables. of Rome ! In one
point, the Church of Rome always has been
consistent. - She has always been a perse
(luor of Protestants when ,she has had the
power.' Now, let us suppose a case. Fifty
year? hence, in the progress of Catholicism
anticipated by Arch Bisilep _Hughes, this
country will have reached' a crisis of no or
dinary magnitudeandmomenr. The Church
of Rome:will have, gained, if he is correct,
ti vast amount of power, and will. have
amassed large resources. She . will perhaps
be able ,to control our elections. to choose
our President and the Governors of the dif
ferent States, and to secure a- majority of
the Senators and Representatives in , our
National and State 'Legislatures.. She may,
perhaps, not be able to number a majority
of the peopleof the United States as actually
in her communion. but she has more than
the balance of power, and she will lend it to
any political party that will subserve her
interests. Then; in the natural course of
events, she will begin to demand . certate
prerogatives. and to claim Sundry -conces
sions and special legislation, by 'way of
acknowledgment. Peradventure, after hat
ing driven the Bible out of this public schools.
_she will find it desirable to, expel it from
all Other public institutions . : and having
accomplished this, she will next assail the
freedom of the Protestant pulpit. This lee
, turing, on Romanism will never do. It is a
bad thing, for it excites the people, and•
therefore it muit be -put down. Ves, but
there are sore ,
Protestants of that stern stuff
that will not he pm down. set tong as they
have eyes, wherewith to read, and hearts. ,
wherewith-to love, and a voice to give ut
, teranee to the doctrines of the Bifile. What
then ? They are disturbers of the peace ;
''they incite to riot and disorder, and the hal
ter must tame them ! So be it: We will
soppose that a few of the more' pestilent of
_.these Prottant preachers are put to death,
and the wrong is tolerated ; though many
secretly resent it, they are _afraid to speak
oqt, and the powers that be have more hal
ters. Next it will be 'found desirable to pro
duce uniformity, and . Protettantism will be
proscribed.. ..You must either go to mass and
to confession, and send your .'wives and
daughters there, that bachelor priests- may
ransack their consciences, and - propound tne
quirks before which modesty drops dead
you must either give up your Bibles or go to
the stake. Some go to the stake. They are
burned. And now the spirit of re sit:mace
bursts 'forth like a smothered flame, and
the indignation of all liberal and patriotic
mien is excited to the inmost pitch. They
throw off' the yoke and the tyrant Church
is in her turn proscribed. Her prisms are
driven out of the land, glad to escape with
their-"lives. Now, this is properly no fancy
sketch.' I do not say, it thipg that Will
be, but it is a thing whkh substantially it'aS,
been, and it serves to show Mite Protestants
have been implicated in perseeuting the Ro
min Catholic Church. Queeri Elizabeth,
England, proscribed 'the • Jesuits; and sent I
some of them to the gallovas. Why ? Be
cause they plotted against, her crown and
govnothent, and sought to restore the Pope's
supremacy.. And with the, fires of Smith

suffered martyrdom, still . ' in the remember-'

Of terror, the scenes of bloodshed and torture.
signalizing thedayieof Bloody Queen -Mary,
greater leniency or less severity could hardly
be expected.
Arebishop Hughes avows that it is the in
tention of the Church of Rome to have this
country. Well, all well informed persons
knew that long azo. The Pope of 'tome
ha.s'set his heart upon it. He cannot do
without it, for Popery is ironing Europe.
Will he succeed? I believe not: If he
does, Protestants will -deserve to feel the
lash, which his' priests will apply with
hearty good will. ..We are to 'fie __eon

We are told by Archbishop Hughes, that
"the first exigence; of condition in Protept
autism, was to PilLt. DOWN. Its ' first azOi- •
sloe was not to buildup, hut, to pull-down.'
Truly ! Under the Levitical laW,.• when a
house was hopelessly-infected' with the lep
rosy, the statute, required that it should be
FULLED Dc11;)1. And the - inspired Apostle
has declared that the mission of Christianity
is similar. "For," says he, "the weapons
of our warfare 'are mighty; through God,
to the eta.ateo ixaine of stongholds !" We
must pull'dowmhe rubbish of,the Papacy,
before we-can build up believers as living
temples of the Holy Ghost.
. ,The Archbishop ridicules the positive and
negative elements of Protestantism: it says
"yes," and it says! ono," Truly ! And _
what religieu does not? - We say, "yes" to,
every word that proceedeth out Of the mouth -
of God—we say "no - to every ,tradition ,
which is wholly of human invention. We ,
will ear' ac Proteitants, in -a word.euow and
forever, ".NoPoreeaer - . .' • • . :' •
Archbishop Hughes unagines e t nit because
we avow, that we are Prcieeianis we there
by affirm' " that Christ Established a church ;
for the purpose of propegatitig his doctrine,
but that atter fifteen hundred years, it bad .
failed, rind we had come to renew. it." No,
Most Reverend Sir'. That is a Wrong infer
ence. The Church of God, under the old
covenant, was corrupted andled ashy tutu 1
Babylonish captivity, but though it became '.
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and was east forth
as au aheminable branch, yet God preserved ,
to himself a remnant. _ ,And thesatne is true '
iu the New Covenant. GO 'never has lett
'..himsdf -without vaitneeses. 'Elijah mourned
• that he-alone was left of the Lord's prophets,
but God told him he had reserved to himself
i more than seveu thoueand who had not bow
-1 ed the knee to Ilaal,Vor kissed his images.
So in the darkest daysof :Papal. supremacy, -
the Lord - preserved it; too, despite of all the
power of Anti-shrive, and of-all-his efforts to
destroy it. The Church of Geld is not a fail
-1 ure, because for ri-season to pro - Yeller and
instruct her. she is Matte to dwell le the
! wilderness! WherfArelibiehop Thighes Yen
, tures the tremendous assertion, that in the
1 Chtirch of Rome ,perfeet unity of doctrine
' always had obtained, he eay,s the boldest thing •
which he ever uttered in ,St. Patrick's Cathe
dral. I will read the - extract, and it is the
last which I shall notice. After stating that
in all probability, not tea Protestants out
of the whole number of tiftymillions, ". could
be found to agree on all Points, io substance
and de:ail. in the principles and doctrines of ,
ChriStian Revelation," het adds : "' On the
other hand, the Cathlolio Church numbers
two hundred illions, scattered all over the
globe, from the isine s - to the settingen the
sun : and I 'runt > risk in stating. that out
of these two to:mired millions there could
not be found tea, in wheie inmost souls there
exists the Slightestgleyietion 'from the actual
and ofcourse original tt ctrines of the Church
to the Revelations.of thel Sou of God !"--
This audacity is beyond any parallel which
ohn be run any where, out of the Church of
/ Rome !-

:reheat Christians, out of as Many Protestant
' denominations : and in all the_ fundamental
articles of Christian faith, •in all the points
which involve the salvation of the soul, and
in the great practical! duties enjoined by the
I
I religion of Jesus Christ, they will speak with
one heart and one voice. They will tell you,
that faith in Christ and 'holy liVing as its
fruit. are the only real evidences of a re-ever '
rate heart. Has the Church of Reme never.
deviated from' the original - dectrines of the
Church.of Christ? The very question is an
insult to the understanding of an intelligent
Christian. ,
I will vary fhe inquiry, and ask, Has the
r Church of Roine a i wa, s been doctrinally con
sistent with herself ? Then how- is it, that
1 to this very day, she canntio tell us where the
infallibility of which she boasts.- resides .4. Is
it in the- Pope. nr in the councils, or in the
i Pope and Councils together? _ Settle the
•ltalian and Gallic dispute oe' this point,
which is rife at this very 'day ; 'for until you
do, Archbishop, your boas , ing is too con•
temptible for sober argument. Remember
the feud respecting the immaculate concert- ,
than of the Virgin - 3lary ttitnit of Your Domi-
I •
nican and Franciscan - broils—call to mind a
few of the great schisms recorded in the hie
tory of - Papal Rome, in, which rival Popes
cursed and excommunicated eackother, and
1 before you step torth again to extol the unity
1 of faith and practice, which you display as a
mark of the true Chuich, remE:maer this,
that whenever you co find leisure for the
retaslo• there are malty Pr'otestattis who will be
ready to receive the pro-.ii by- which you can

reconcile eOur purgatory and your penances,
and your indulgences,. -your mariviatry and
your distinctions between lei reia and douleia,
and dour auricular" confession and . your deni

I have endeavored iI)StIOW. cause why as
Protestants we may demur to the extravagant
-assumptions, and the reckless• aspersions of
this men of Gath: and although he mae for
tify himeelf with a hundred predictions,
culled nom the brilliant aphorisms of-Ma
caulay. they will not help his cause. -The
defamer of 4‘teetnas Coin mer and of William
Penn will hardly gain that credit as a propheit) •
which. as a' historian. he has hist ! - .
Here then 1 tale leave of the Archbishop's
lecture. ' Before I close, 'allow me ,a few
words luoreoe lam ready agent to admit.,
that the pres'ent aspect of Protestantism is
not all that can be desired. Protestantism
has not yet fulfilled its mission, nor will its
errand he aecomptished Until' this globe shall
he encircled. with a broad belt of light and
love. We make too , fitile of the idea!
Cleireli, .the Holy Catholic Church, compri
stag all the mystical mem tittrs-of the glorious
body of our L ord Jesus Clitiet, and weeiften
make too much of our denominational pecu
liarities. Protestants ought to be moreolose
ly allied, and they.-willi be. They ought to
look more closYly at points of agreement,
and lee, at point , -. of difference. 'The exter
nal pressure of infidelitt and Popery may be
one itenne, of bringing' thelloomoie - closely
'together: but the princi - ple of, union must be
ils' us. in order to lead to permanent and living
results. , The tribes of Israel are still in the
Wilderness.. but there is a Clem of promise
before them. where there. shall tat; one fold
and one Shepherd foreVer. For e,very sen
tence I hove uttered. for every statement I
hare made. whether of for or doctrine, I
disire•to be held to the strictest account. I
love the noble sentiment of the old Roman,
