Extract from Proceedings. At a meeting of this Society, held this day, it was ! ; Ktsolvea, That whereas since our last monthly meeting, occurrences have transpired which have been used as pre texts for two unprovoked attacks upon the religion which we profess; and, where as we have not at our command the use orthe columns of any newspaper or other periodical in our State, whether sectarian or secular, the Secretary of this Society be directed to publish as an advertisement the following. PROTEST TO THE PBOPLB Of WILMIKOTOW M AND OF NORTH CAKOLIKaI against tbe charges referred to. s : The Youog Catholic Friends' Socioty in Wilmington, N . C, is a beneficial association, formed for the purpose or aiding the needy, and comprises nearly all the mate Catholics in the city of Wilmington. We are citizens of North Carolina and Catholics who worship at St. Thomas'-Roman Catholic Church. On the fifteenth day of January the Right Rev. U. P. Northrop was install ed into his office as our Bishop. Ihe occasion was one ef groat moment to us, and we were honored j with the presence of the Archbishop of Baltimore, and the Bishon of Richmond. On that, occasion both of these prelates delivered sermons. The Mobxixo Star, a secular newspaper published in oar city, gare to its readers on the following Tuesday, the editor' impressions of these two discourses. This editorial notice was subsequently made the 'pretext for two uncalled for attacks upon the loyalty to the govern- meat under which we iiTe, of ail such as hold the religion which we pro teas. One of these attacks was mad ia the .Vo;tA Carolina, P resbytcrian, published, in this city, and the other in the Goldsboro Methodist Adnanrt and both were rrproduted m The Moctikg j StabI Against ihe ass rtioi.s cUWined la them we beg leave cvwt aokcvnly to protest. f-ar lh5 close of tbb'liineteentli- cen lurv, we bear the echo. of charges made in the sixteenth, which have been over and over again refuted by tbs arguclenU of Catholic writers, and by the uinm ptached lejaity of Cathallc citizens under every form of government.

I fought for England in every land in I defence of a government which was hostile to his church. The Catholic soldier fought in the struggle for Ameri can Independence against the forces which Protestant England sent to subdue the colonists, who claimed the right of asserting and maintaining the principles of civil liberty. The Catholic Carroll 3 stood at the side of Washington, Jeffer son and Haneock. Since Washington in a publio address praifed the loyalty and bravery of his ' Catholic soldiers, to tbe present hour, Catholics have shown their devotion to the principles of civil liberty then asserted and secured, by their fidel ity to the interests of our. common coon, try, and by their obedience to her laws.' In our own State, as interpreters of our laws and guardians of our civil liberties. Gaston, and Manly, and Heath, have sat on the same bench upon which sat Henderson, and Raffia, and Iredell, acd Nash, and Battle. i - The Catholics of Wilmington and of the Sate are, and , ( have " ever been, ' as orderly, as obedient to the laws, and l as derated to the interests of city and State as any others. , The same . holds ; good not only for North Carolina, not only for America, but for the civilized world. There : are members of this . society whoso ancestors fought in ; the. great struggle tor civil liberty on this conti nent, when the Catholic LaFayetta, aud Pulaski, and DeGrasse, and Barry, and the Car rolls, stood side Jy tid j with Washington svd Ca;wel!, Morgan and Greene cDd Sumler.

We do not believe there is an individual who has the hardi hood to assert that 'tbe question at is soo is liberty, of conscience and civil liberty." We cannot believe that there is an'individual in the community in which we live, quietly and obediently assist ing to bear up the burdens of government, who thiaks for . a moment that there is anything or has eyerVbeen anything la our "organization4' or in our Faith, that could imperil "Civil Liberty.' ( " -u We feel at a loss to ascertain - what is meant by "liberty of consciehce'i' 1L it be meant by this, phrase that one hst the power to lie, steal, cheat or elahdr' a, neighbor, then a Catholic nas as taach of this liberty of. conscience as -another. Bat if it bo meant by .it that one has. the . right to lie, etealr cbeat or dander one's neighbor, without the commission of sia for which ho know3 he shall be puaiahod, then a Catholic has not - this liberty of conscience 'and does not want it edj We feel that these al tacks upon us are futile, but nevertheless they are ibtoler- ant, and we t&ereiore protest agiinst them, and assert that the charges i con tained ia them are fallacious. The Church has outlived such - charges ior many centuries, and as we believe,-' she will still continue to live until the enJ of tiuie, 'i hisharbeea the opinion of iaen n'jtof her Faith. We cn say, in the words of the great Presbyterian " Histo rian, that "the members of her comina- cion are certainly cot f fewer than a hun dred and fifty millions; and it will be dif nnirersary of the crowning 4 V'ctryl of Yorktown, woero Catcolic and Protratr ant soldiers fought and bled . and trium phed together; aUaa end of "a ceuturj, during which Catholic acd 'Protrstaat have lired ia peaco and labored, without prejudice, for the. good of the coaotry, m obedience to tht laws xnd loyalty i to the Constitution, the Catholic Archbish op of Baltimore, tho successcr of the Archbishop : wle cr3 :the friend of Washir?gtcn, i inTiieti by tbe Secretary of Stato of thif United States to -t cr.se crate by, tbcf solemn services of .the Cath olic Chujrcb, tLis country's, . grateful r membrante of .
