It is alleged as an act F religiyus pre scription on the part "of the American ts soctaiiens, that rhey promise or swear.thut they will not support Roman Catholics for public office. " Without undertaking to af firm or io controvert tats allegation we- may be pcrmiued to ask whether such an obligation would not be justifiable on the grounds of patriotism and selt-preservauoti. If there is anything inimical to our free in s;itutions,'or to personal liberty, in the teu. ets or "ptaclice of the' Catholic - religion, then it becomes the rluty'of every man whol wishes to preserve our system of govern ment, or to secure the continuance- of his own personal liberty, to be careful how he trusts Roxnari Catholics with, political pow er. If the -Pope of, Rome asau i.es both spiritual and temporal authority" over ; all,; and claims not only the rfght, out consid ers it a duty, to mould all governments in to subjection to this- assumed .authority : and, if the oath administered to ail bishops t and priests binds them to an obedience to the Pope superior to that which'thetowe to their own 'country then u is. lime .for J all Americans to set their faces against Papist fallacies, and to show the Pope 'of f Koine that there is one nation at least which denies his pretended infallibility, and resists his efTori3. at universal subj-i-gation at-spiritual, the worst of all tyian rries. ';-V-"' ' We presume that no one wfll d ny. tbal th bishops and priests of the RomarrCath olic Chnrch are bound by oath to obey the Pone, even wbe're such obedience shall conflict with duly to the government undei whichr they live. There can be no doubt on thiapoint The oath which they 'take has been too frequently published to admit dispute". In addition to obedience, they are alo known to persecute and oppose here tics (Protestants) to the utmost' of tlietr power; and .vet", with this oath on. their lips, they appeal to Protestants 'to confer power upon them, and - to place them .id confidential -posts, tinder the government which, they seek to destroy and, because they are dented," fhey falsely charge those whom they have-devoted to ruint with be ing proscnpiive and persecuting. Whenever it is ascertained that .the prin ciples of any religidfn are dangerous to pub lie liberty, it. is ibe risht and the- duty of those inierested to withhold power from the members of the'dangerouscommunity, and to tepose confidence only in those who are known to be tolefaf t of opinion and resolved, to preserve it free exerci&e. To act otherwisa would be wantonly to throw away one of the greatest blessings, free iota ' "'.-:T-' . - "' .-. The Catholic clergy in the UnitedStates profess -to be. tolerant, smiptv because they have not ike power to daotherwise They live in a Protestajit communyy, and re compelled to be cautious llut they cin not restrain themselves withwi the boumls of prudence. -They attack or public schools, -and insist upon banishing" our JSible. .They fear the spread of sin forma lion, . antJ ,wou.l tnoreture oestroy ine souicciof edncdtion.

".--; -Brownson openly avows -that it wthe in fentfort of the Pope, to possess thi3coun try ; and declare it XO jbethe doty of 'Oe euiu'and all Catholic priests and prelates, who are; faithful to their religion.'. to id hito irt this iotention If such be the ob je'ct of the Popn and of the. Catholic priest hood, it hr time for Americans to orgrfnize to keep men of that persuasion out of po w er, and trr stand up for the independence of the country." - , - " - . . ; .We have not said that-Americans hae; sworn not to voie for. Roman Catholics for aftjr office : but, under the circumstances, tbey wouU be jostiiiabl in reftrsing to place confidence tu persons of that faith generally. We adm.t,- however, thai tljere are exceptions, and they are uniformly na- tivea men who have not heea Initiated in- to tbVprivate itrigaea and designs of the foreign priesthood.. We - would not trust any map "with power who would consider his duty" to his country inferior to that which he owed to a foreign prince or potentate. -The history of the Popes of Rome-Ms. a history of fraud, violence, perjury, 'Can ning and usurpation. Did they claim spir- ilual jurisdiction "'bnlyt it would be compaV atfveljr harmless bat, tbey- ha.v'e. grasped temporal authority "whenever it was to be hatljvthoagh "the-Vpread of intelfigerif e, efenta Italy, will probably soon divest hi Holiness of all . power, save that of the" bead -Rishop of the Roman .

Racino composed his verses wljilo walking aboutj reciting them in a loud voice. One day, when thus working at his play Of Mifhridates; io the Tuilerios Gardens a crowd of workmen gathered around him, attracted by his gestures ; they took him to be a madman about to throw himself into the basin. On his return home from such walks, he would write down scene by scone, at first in prose, and when he had thus writen it out, he would exclaim, ."My tragedy is done P considering the dress ing of the act up in verso a very small affair; . . . . Magliabecchia, ihe learned libraiian to the Duke of Tuscany", on the contra ry, never stirred abroad, but lived amidst books and upon booksj They were hi bed, board, and washing- He passed eight-and-forty years in their midst, only twice in the course of his life venturing beyond the walls of Florence j once to go two leagues cflj and the other Jime three and a halt leagues by order of tho Grand Duke. Ho was an extremely frugal man, living upon eggs, bread, and water, in great moderation Luther, whensttidying, always had his dog lying at his feet ; a dog ho had brought from Watsburg, and of which he was fond. An ivory crucifix stood on the table before him, and the trails of his study were, stuck round with car icatures of the" pope. He worked at his desk for days together without going oul j but when fatigued, and the ideas began to stagnate -in his brain, he would take his flute or his guitar with him into the porch, and there execute some musical fantasy, (for he was a skilful musician,) wnen tne ideas would flow upon hint as-fresh as flowers-after summer's rain. Music was his invariable solace at such times. Indeed, Luther did not hesitate to Fay that after theology, music was tho first of arts. "Music," said he, "is the art of the prophets ; it is the only art which, like theology, can claim the ag itation of the soul, and put the Devil to flight." Next to music, if not before if, Luther loyed children and flowers. The great gnarled man had a heart as len der as a woman's. " Calvin , studied ; in his bed. Kvery morning, at five or six o'clock, he had books, manuscripts and papers carried to him there, and he worked on for hours together. If he had occasion to go out, on bis return he undressed and went to bed again to continue his studies. In his later years he dictated his wiitim's to secretaries. He rarely corrected any thing ; the sentences came complete froiir his mouth. If he felt his facilities of composition leaving him, he forthwv!! quitted his bed, gave up wrilin- -.tin! composing, and went about his out duties for days, weeks, and months r, gether. But as soon as he felt the in spiratiorTfall upon him again, he went back, to Jus bed, and the secretary to work forthwith. Rousseau wrote his works early in the morning ; LeSaee at midday : Bv- wbn at midnight. Hardouiu rose at four tu the morning, and wrote till late at night. Aristotle was a tremendous woiker '. he took little sleep, and was constantly retrenching if. He had a "enntrivance by which he awoke early, and to awake was with him to commence work. Demosthenes passed three months in a cavern by the sea-side, in laboring to overcome tho defects of his voice. There ho read, studied, and declaimed. - Rabelais composed his life of Gar- gantua at Bellay, in the company of Roman cardinals, and tinder the eyes c the bishop of Paris. La Fontaine wrote Ins fables chiefly under the shade of a tree and sometimes by the side of Racine and Boilean. - am m . rascal wrote most ot His Thoughts on little scraps' of s paper, at his by mo ments. ; . . Fenelon wrote his Telemachus in the. Palace of Versailles, at the court of the Grand Monarque while dischar ging the duties of tutorof the Dauphin That a book so thoroughly democratic should have issued from sucb a source, and be written, by a priest, , may seem surprising; - . r alma Ue toluiney nrst promulgated his no tion of universal freedom of persritir and pf throwing all taxes on the land the geiity perhaps, of -.the, FrenchRcv-olution--in the botfdoir of Madame de Pompadour J " - ". - x U3coa knelt down before -composing hiif great work, and-prayed for light from haveu,' 'i ' .. tf Pope never could compose .we!! with out first declaiming for some C io at the lop of his voice, and,, thus rousing his nervous system tons lullest activity. -The hie of ueibuits was one of read ing, wjiting and meditation.
