Show Cim;rch and State. When tho services of clergymen are called in to aid in a political movement, as is tho case in tbo State of New York, there id a very decided step taken towards to-wards blending Church and State. With all tho boasts that are loudly and frequently made , laudatory republican re-publican principles and tho severaueo of religion and polities in tho United States, tho country is very rapidly' drifting towards an oligarchical republic repub-lic and the controlling of elections by religious influence If tho Protostant clergymen of Now York Stato unite for u certain political purpose, it is only natural that the Horn an Catbolio clergymen cler-gymen should also similarly combine; and if tboy do, Protostauta will learn unothor lesson of tho unity Roman Catholicism can command whou compared com-pared with tho disintegrations of Pro-tostantism. |
