Further, he saysj'"Are you aware that there are aevaral StaUa in this Union where the majority of the people are now Catholics f I should reprobate In the ccvertst terms the Catholics in tnose States er in any other States) who refused; to vote tor the most fit man because be hapuened to bo a Pro testant and my condemnation would W exactly aa severe for Protestants who, under reversed circumstances, refused to vote for a Catholic" i Now, the fart remains that we as eltisens ttave religious rights which the State as such la obliged to con serve onr freedom of conscience, for instance. Now, If the electing of a Catholic to office would tend to Jeopardise our religious liberty as it unquestionably would It follows thtt the rell.ou belief of the Cath olic woald onU.ule in him an ele ment of unOtnesa tor politic! office, which must be taken into account.

The fact which deserved emprasia la that neither In the Individual nor the Stat la the line of demarkatlon be tween the political, the moral and th. religious sharply defined.
