t country. It is and will be a receptacle for the bad
and disaffected population of Europe, when they are not wanted
for soldiers, or to supply the navies; _and the governments of
Europe will favor such a course_. This will create a surplus
and majority of low population, who are so very easily excited;
and they will bring with them their principles, and in nine
cases out of ten adhere to their ancient and former
governments, laws, manners, customs, and religion, and will
transmit them to their posterity; and in many cases propagate
them among the natives. These men will become citizens, and by
the Constitution and laws will be invested with the right of
suffrage. Hence, discord, dissension, anarchy, and civil war
will ensue; and some popular individual will assume the
government, and restore order, and the sovereigns of Europe,
the emigrants, and many of the natives, will sustain him. The
Church of Rome has a design upon that country; and it will in
time be the established religion, and will aid in the
destruction of that Republic. _I have conversed with many of
the sovereigns and princes of Europe; and they have unanimously
expressed these opinions relative to the government of the
United States, and their determination to subvert it._"

The monarchs of Europe, says the Duke of Richmond, will aid in sending
us a surplus of "low, excitable, bad, and disaffected men," who will
bring with them their principles, and will adhere to their foreign
notions of government, laws, manners, customs, and religion--and that
religion Catholic; and yet _you_, the "son of a now sainted father," of
Protestant raising, have the brazen effrontery to call upon the
"Bishops, Elders, and other Ministers" of an American Protestant Church
to aid you, your corrupt party, and the monarchs of Europe, in
destroying both our government and Church!

Sir, it is passing strange that Protestant Christians and their children
should be found side by side with you, Bishop Hughes, Gov. Johnson, and
the thousands of bad men who are seeking to build up a Roman Hierarchy
in this free country of ours! What do you promise the country and
yourselves, if Romanism proves successful in this contest? The history
of the past informs us that Rome has slain 1,000,000 of Albigenses and
Waldenses; 1,500,000 Jews, in Spain; 3,000,000 Moors, in Spain. France
