In the firsi place, no one, we presume, will pretend to denv but that these doc trines ever have been snd still are the dis tinguishing characteristics of the real L-h-o foco, Fanny Wright party of New Ynrk Of this faction the D -tnocratic Review holds the following memorable language.: " In appreciating the diffifulties of Mr. Van B u re n's position a; the period we are here refer ring to, it must be borne in mind that no irtJica (ion then apppared of that great movement of the Sooth to his supporf, under the glorious oui -s dance of its noble leader, which ba since deve loped itself with fJtich ; decisive t-ffpcl ; hil a general dissolution of his own parly ' xjcith the abandonment of his Administration by a very grevt prop'tftion oj all the old influential leaders just ask if it among us supporters, was piainiy inevuaoie, it he should dare to assume any attitude antagenis lical to the power of the banks and to the popu lar infatuation in favor of the paper m'ohe? cred it system. The ON LV EXISTING PARTY on which he could tely tor support in soch a po sition j consisted of A SMALL SECTION of the Democratic party in the city of New lork, which had assumed A DIS1 INCT OR GAN1ZATION on tbe ground of hostility to the monoply of the banking system, and the ness, while tbey continue their allegiance to the devil We have no faith m FKIKbTo and PEDAGOGUES. They merely cry peace, peace, aod lhat too when there is no peace, and can be none." For oof part te are disposed to seek the cause of the inequality of condilxons of which we speak, in religion, and to charge it to the priesthood.. ' The germ of these sacred otaK corporations is found in the savage slate, and exists there to that formidable personage called a jongleur, jug gler or conjuror, out as ine trioe or peopie aa vances, this jug'ler becomes a priest and the member oi a corporation. 1 hese sacredolal cor porations are variously organized, but every where organized for the purpose, as that arch re bel Thomas Payne says, ' of monopolizing pow er and profit. The effort is unceasing, to ele vate them as far above the, People as possible, to enable them to exert tbegreatest possible con trol ovr the People, ana to derive the greatest possible benefit Jrom the People." But having traced the inequality we complain of to its origin, we proceed to ask again, what is which condemns him 1' ' It may be supposed that we Protestants have no priests, but, for ourselves, we know no fanda mental difference between a Catholic clergyman and a Protestant, as we know no difference of any magnitude in relation to '.be principles on which they are based, between a Protestant church and lhe Catholic church. Both ought, therefore, to go by lhe board. ' We insist upon it, that the complete and fi nal destruction of the priestly order, in every practical sense of the word priest, is the first step to be taken towards elevating the laboring clas- But one might as well undertake to dip the ocean diy with a clam shell as lo undertake to cure ihe evils of the social state by converting men to the Christianity of lhe Church.' ' We object not to religious instruction : we object not to tbe gathering together of the Peo ple one day io seven to sing and pray, and to lis ten to a discourse from a religious teacher; but we object to every thing like an outward, visible Church ; to every thing that in the remotest de gree partakes-ef the priest I ! .
