MISCELLANY.
. ; romanism:
The Rev. R. V.V Clark, has delivered
several .lectures orv Romanism, in East
Boston,. We" give a' report of Lis fourth
Lecture, although the extracts which form
the ground Of tiis remarks have been al
ready published in TAe Commercial. ;
He first quoted from a paper published a
few y ears since at St.' Louis, called The
Shepherd of lh? ' Valky, which - said, 'the
Church is of necessity, intolerant, a man
has no right to his religious opinions, &c.'
. t. If the Catholics should ever, gain a nu
merical mojority, such"; principles prevail
ing, religious freedom is. at an end:
' Another autnority nas sanr tnat popes
and general councils hayejpassed in secret
the4ost bloody; and persecuting laws
against all denominated 'heretics.
In Brownson's 'Review, the acknowledg
d organ of Catholicism in' this country
we find, on the subject of the Pope's au
thority, he says. 'We believe in the direct
temporal authority of the Pope in all mat
ters or the church, c."
What is meant by the term 'temporal
authority 7' , 1 1 is defined by the Council
of Trent, as 'consisting in the most exalted
decrees of dignity and full amplitude of
. jurisdiction, not founded upon human insti
ui'ions, but emanating: from the Head of
the church, of God himself.' "
Here was the most absolute despotism
conferred upon the Pope. Brownsou has
said in reference to the Constitution of the
United States, 'our people (i e., the Catho
lics) must destroy the Constitution, of the
United States, if the church decreed it.'
Again, "in 'regard to toleration, Bishop
O'Conner of Pittsburg; has said., 'religious
toleration is only endured till the opposite
can be obtained.' ; t
Such are the sentiments which are now
openly proclaimed; not in despotic Europe,
but in free America; not among the dark
clouds cf paganism, but amid clear gospel
light. We throw wideopen bur gates to
the oppressed and suffering of all lands, we
place at the feet of the millions who come
to our shores all the privileges and advan
tages which the enterprise of , our fathers
t have "secured, ,and we are paid for this by
designs against ouf government of the most
treasonable character, by attempts to des-
troy that liberty which constitutes the at
traction and glory of our land. And if we
raise our-voice against -such 'treacherous
sentiments and treasonable movements, and
presume to inquire into the nature and vir
toes of that system which boldly proclaims
antagonism to civil and : religious freedom
- and the Constitution of the United States,
"the Roman Catholics exclaim that they
- are persecuted. ; t .. . . - .
It should not be supposed that the people
of this country are so very amiable as to
. sit by and hear such sentiments expressed,"
without remonstrance. - The past ; history
of the American people should not lead to
such an opinion of our people. Amiable
ness we may have, but this is not the only
virtue to be found among . the American
people. -
1 here is in this land : such a sentiment
as patriotism, a love of civil and religious
liberty which Roman pnests and political
- demagogues will find exceedingly difficult
to crush. The right to discuss every ques
tion which touches our religious or national
welfare, the American people will never re
linquish. .. ' -r ' .
The despotic character of popery, as ex
hibited at the confessianal, its tendency to
break down all independence of mind, and
to be. converted into a mighty political en
gine for enslaving the people and sustain
- ing tyrants f was dwelt upon. -Where the
. confessional exists there can be no religious
freedom. The priests have supreme pow
er over the" consciences of the people, : and
stand in the place of God to them.
The disastrous .effect of this institution
upon the virtues of the people was refer
red to and illustrated briefly. Special pro
minence is given by them to the maxim that
evil may be done in order that good may
.ensue, and that - the end sanctifies the
means. The slaughter of 60,000 of the
Albigenses, by order of Pope Gregory, was
committed by men otherwise virtuous, who
supposed they were .obeying God's com
mands. r ; - - - . ;
, Whether such scenes shall ever be en
acted in America, depends upon, the Pro
testant community.; Apathy among true
Protestants will' occasion the success of
6uch doctrines. - -But if Protestants have
patriotism enough" to sustain civil and reli
gious freedom, and keep uncontamtnated
the school system, withy the blessing of
vjou upon .their, efforts, these doctrines can
never prevail. The question is for Protes-.-.taitts.
to decide,, whether they will "court
he, favor of Catholics "for-"-political purpo
ses, or whether they will maintain their in
dstitutions in their present integrity.
. Let Romanism be judged by -its fruits,
by its effects upon civil and religious free
dom, and upon the morals, of the people
where it. has undisputed sway, as at Rome,
the city of priests and eardinals, where no
reformation has ever : disturbed it. The
- .most reliable authorities testify that - there
js not a worse governed, r less religious or'
jmore immoral, city in Christendom than
Home itself, v There is no personal liberty
stherej. the patriots have fled, the suspected
.are . imprisoned,, spies and informers sur
jound those who are suspected of any in
fidelity in the authority of the pope.
The manner in which the city of Rome
ihas been laid off into districts for the super
vision of -sets of spies was 1 then 1 showed,
And some of the results of this f state' of
things upon citizens and foreigners 'were
:stated. In regard to modern improvements
;Rome is utterly dead. .
Such a state of things may be expected
Jiere'if the power is obtained by the. Ro
xnanists, fQr they tell us that when - they
get the power they will destroy American
liberty, and the Constitution. ' -
- The effects of popery in Spain, Ireland
and Mexico' were referred to,- and " their
present condition contrasted with that of
Uie United States ; and- in conclusion., tie
urged his audience to oppose the insidious
encroachments of this despotic power, as
the only hope of preserving our institutions,
and extending the influence of the protes-
tant faith to future generations.
The lecture oecupied, nearly an hour in
its delivery, and was listened to with, much
interest by a large and attentive audience.

ASTONISHING CURE.
. Pattsssow, N. Y . 20th. 1851.
- Mewrs. A. B. dfc. D. Sards: Gentlemen. Hav
ing witnessed the inost beneficial effects from the
use of your Sarsaparilla, it gives me pleasure to
send von the following statement in regard to m v
son. In the spring of 1848 he took s severe cold.
and alter eight weeks ot severe sunerlng the dis
ease settled in nis lett leg ana root, wnich soon
swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced
by uls physician, snd discharged most profusely;
after that no less than eleven ulcers, formed on the
leg snd foot st one time. We had nvedifTerent Phy
sicisns, but none relieved him much j snd the last
winter found him-so emaciated snd low that be was
unable to leave his !ed, suffering the most excrucia
ting pain. Durins this tine the bone bad become
so much affected that piece after piece came out, of
which he has now more than twenty-five preserved
ia a bottle, varying from one half to one and a half
tncnes in length, we nad given up an nopes ot nts
recovery, butat this time we were induced to try
your sarsaparilla. and with its use nis nealtn. and
appetite began immediately to improve, and so rap
id was tne change that less tnan a aozen ootties ef
fected a perfect cure. " : -
With gratitude, I remain truly your, -'fe

A MODEL CLERIC.
Young man. "I called to see about tho
clerkship you advertised as vacant"
Old Gent. 'Hem I Have you a gold
watch and chain, a fast horse, a diamond
ring, six suits of clothes, a bull-dog, a thou
sand cigars, a cask of brandy, and an as
sortment of canes?"
Young Man. "Yes, sir, got 'em all."
Old Gent. "Then you'll suit. My oth
er clerk furnished himself ,wiih all those
out of the till, so as you're supplied I'll sav e
the expense."
An Irishman had been sick a long lime,
and while in that slate would occasionally
cease breathing, and life be apparently ex
tinct for soma time, when he would come
to. 1 On one of these occasions when he
had just awakened from his sleep, Patrick
asked him, "An how'Il we know, Jemmy,
when ye're dead? ye're a finer waking, up
lvery time." " Bring roe a glass of grog,
and say to me, 'here's till ye, Jemmy,' and
if I don't r island drink then bury me."
CHRISTIAN RESIGNATION.
The Washington, D. C. Star snys : The
editor of the Belfast, Me., Journal, a Demo
cratic paper, takes the defeat of his putty
quite coolly. Ho desires some one of his
readers to loan him a copy of "IJaxtrr'a
Saint's Rest" He wants to read souiO
good book in which there is no allusion to
politics.
A GOOD REASON.
There was once a clergyman in New
Hampshire, noted for his long sermons and
indolent habits. "How is it," said a man
to his neighbor, "that Parson , ihe la
ziest man living, writes these interminable
sermons?" "Why," said the other, he
probably gets to writing and is too lazy to
stop," t
Smith made an assertion to Jones. Jour
replied thas it was a confounded "lie kl
story .f Smith first stared, and then bland
ly requested Jones to be kind enough to
place his syllables closer together.
