ji tier* anything in the Catolic Religion unfaTora*
ble to Freedom.
Henry Clay said not. The following is an extract from
t speech on th •emancipation of South Americans, de
livered ly him in the House of Representatives, March
•j4tli 1818 :
“Disperse over such an immense apace as that on
which the people.of Spanish America are spread, their
physical, and 1 believe also their moral condition, both favor
dieir liberty.
•With regard to their superstition, they worship the
senile Cod with us. Their prayers are offered up in their
temples to the same Redeemer, whose intercession we
expect to save us. Nor is there anything iu the Catholic
religion unfavorable to freedom; all religion united with
governments are more or less inimical to liberty, all se
rrated from government are compatible with liberty. If
the people of Spanish America have not already gone as
far, in religious toleration, as we have, the different*# in
their condition from ours should not be forgotten.
Everything is progressive ; aod in time I hope to see
them imitating in this respect our examples.”

remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to olten the
case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original
cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a
deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of the diseases
enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat
in a diseased Liver. (See Dr. Gunn’s great works.)*
