Others say that several of the Councillors fear that a pertion of the uncleanness of this man will be transferred to themselves, and that they are ft qievily seen examining their digits. It is said that the man with “ unclean hands” has gene ot

ing influence pervades the community, we warned Peotestants of their danger.” We said that Mr. Seereictty Pepe gave the “ warning,” and Mr. David Laira 20e8 not deny it. As tora * combi- “atholies for any ether than a athing of the kind exists. ~ed this point. And Catholics seek

lies in which fanaties and unprincipled politicians

Government treat cur wounded the same as their} love to indulge.

Again, he says: “ The recent instruetions of the |/Romish organ to the people of that communion show that for a certain purpose, or purposes, it Is resulved among the “iathers of the Church” that no effert shall be le{t uutried to overthrow the present party in power.”

The “ certain purpose” we have already clearly It is “ to overthrow the present party in | power ;” but whether the “ fathers of the Church” | have come to any resolve on the subject, we nei- | ther know, nor care toknow. What we doknow, | however, is—that they did not dictate nor autho- rise the “instructions” which appear to have filled ‘the editor of the ‘Protestant’ with so much fear and trembling. The assertion is, therefore, un- | true ;-and shews how well qualified Mr. Laird is {to be an “ evangelical witness” to any fact. In | his own language we ask— What credence can

| [now ] be given to any of bis statements?” :

| Mr. Laird lectures us upon having vivlated, as | he says, a promise made by us in January, 1869, | to the effect, that our paper should not meddle in any sectarian disputes or differences. While we | repudiate the pretensions of the editor of the | ‘ Protestant’ to set himself up as our censor, in a | matter which relates to our own proper busmess, | we are nevertheless willing to join issue with bim on this point. We contend that we have not | meddled in “sectarian disputes or differences.” | We have never yet written one line that can be | considered a violation of our pledge. Our advice | to the Catholies is cited as proof that we have ‘done so. Only a very stupid person would regard | it in that light; and only a very stupid or very post tes

| of our meddling in “sectarian differences.” We | admonished the Catholics to unite for a political | abject, because we do net think they can do other- wise withouta serious comprotmise of their honour ‘and independence. Surely this cannot be fairly }alleged as an intermeddiing with “sectarian dif- ferences,” by which we understand, disputes or controversies en poiuts of doctrine.

The ‘ Protestant’ states, also, that we allowed

| the publication of certain letters in the EXAMINER.

| We deny the charge. The letters referred to
