Of eourse the Globe is sincere
when it pretends to be the friend of
the Catholics. Certainly it is. Here
is what it says on Feb. 22, 1856 :—

was ever vexed, and her course is

On August 7, 1857, The Globe
thus describes the Catholic priest-
hood : • "(ine idea absorbs and ani-
mates the 'nattiest tnember of priest-
hood—that though he is paltry, a
mere warty insect travelliug in the-,
clinks and spider holes of society,
still he i; part of the stupendous.,
couspiracy, which with varying suc-
cess. has toiled to undermine the
fieedom, and hinder the progress of
mankind."

And about tha same date, George
Brown, the then Reform leader was
thus reported in The O/obe : "Let
us take care gentlemen, neVer to
