Loyalist ! The Catholic coogregattoo of
Godericb are just as unobtrusive and as
peaceable as any other worshipping evsem-
bly in Tows : and our suggestion about
ringing their Bell, was made under the con.
victlon that our Towo dud ret contain any
Sectarian feeling narrow enough to ob-
ject to it. But, now, being made aware
that even is the year 1851, there are still
bigots, who believe that Popery might be
promulgated by the ringing of a Catholic
8511, we wil'ingly oke back our suggestion:
and out of respect for the prt'ludice of even
the Loyalist sed his three fronds, we de-
clare that they should Dot be taxed for ring-
ing the Bell. Let the ringing of theCatb-
olic Bell be paidafor by voluntary contribu-
tion, snd although the Town Council could
not hu° taxed the Editor of the Huron
3igwal, he is willing to contribute tura dol-
lars to the Bell-nogiag fund. At the same
time, assuring the Loyalist, that bad his
party been the first to hang a good Bell o0
their Church, the Signal, although he
loathes the smell of the Clergy -Reserve and
Rectories, would have been equally liberal
in his contnbution.
