"rump" of intolerance and bgotry, leaving nothirg
| on which to hang hope, except the ignorant and
brutal cry against particular sect Of religion the


Catholics, the great body Of whom is perfectly in


nocent, and did not al all participate in the egregi


ous folly and impertInence of Bishop Hughes and
| the few who sustained him


But, notwithstanding the low and miserable
condition OF the Z" "natiyes'' in this city, great
efforts are made III some oi the neighboring cities


TO build up this new party on It's intolerant pIincl-
pies, and prodisious struggle may be expected
mere, IN the ensuing election, on the part of the
natives" for the maintenance of their position.
They will endeavor 10 mislead the public in rela-
lon to the forfeiture of their pledges, as well as
to stimulate sectarian anmosities, and minge
with the political contests Of civilized people, the
religious intolerance and religious bitterness OF
former aud darkera ages OF the world 1t is the first
time IN the history Of this country, that attempt
has been made by any set OF men TO organize potl-
cal parties on religious principles OF action. The
revolution which gave independence to these States
was effected by men of all christian sec,sthe Ca
tholc and the Protestant the Jesuit and the Pres-
byteran-the Methodist and the Bap,ist-the man
who believed much and he who believed little
Men OF every sect united in that great struggle and
since that period until very recently, the action Of
our government and OF all our political parties has
been kept aloof from religious opinion, every indi-
vidual being free to entertain in peace his own
ideas about God, eternity and salvation But il has
been reserved for this latter day aud for the present
age OF light and liberty, TO exhibit to the world an
attempt to revive the atrocities OF the days of the
faggot and the stake. But this moyement-which
has already been signalized by conflagration and
murder In Philadephia-s now in the very crisis
OF Its late 1t remains to be seen whether there is
patriotism, energy and intelligence in this commu.
nifty sufficient to annihate this atrocious effort to
organize the people Of this country into contendng
religious factions.


If the "natlve" faction, with its religious intole.
rance, be not effectually put down at the ensuing
election, just as Bishop Hughes and his little Ca.
tholic faction were put down at the last election,
we verify believe that scenes Of blood and conha
grafton will mark the history of this country from
city to city, for years to come The great question
of religious liberty and the right Of private judg-
ment IN matters of religion, is now at stake in this
coming election. We are, therefore, glad to find
the respectable portion of the whig party coming
forth without distinction of religious feeling, and
determined to clear their skirts of this desperate
and daring faction, who have attempted to revive
in this free land the atrocities of the bloody and
burning ages that are past and gone, we hope for
ever and ever. II Mr.. Selden comes forth with
that boldness of front which has hitherto charac-
terzed him-if he will speak of those things as
they ought to be spoken of, and in that tone which
will find sympathetic chord in the heart of every
good and rightthinking man in this community, he
will mark his nomination and the present election
in that signal manner that will long be remembered
with gratitude in the history of the United States


The interest about the meeting on Tuesday next
increases every day. So also, of course, does the


interest in the coming election. The great question
to be settled is will the whig organization yield to-
or will it annihilate the organization of the "na-
tive" party-an organization on principles Of blood,
conhagraton and universal anarchy?
