To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let us hear this patriotic preacher, as he ventilates his fears of Catholic loyalty. In his first lecture, he said: '^The incorruptible loyalty of Catholics has been proved on the battlefields, and in the legislative halls of our country.^^ In his second lecture he says: "Let no one say that I am accusing Catholics of disloyalty. ♦ ♦ ♦ History proves that Catholics have been loyal to the Government in every national struggle through which we have passed, and I doubt not that they will be in the... future.^^ Prom these admissions, it would seem to most men that Catholic loyalty is as unim- peachable as that a marble lion's tail is immovable; but this is not the view of it our Methodist friend takes. The fact that Catholics have always proved loy- al in the past, seems to foster the suspicion that they must prove disloyal in the future. A posse ad esse non valet illatio. A law of logic is, however, no bar against suspicion, when he is insinuating fears of the loyalty of Catholics, or attacking the infallibility of the Pope.
