ROMAN CATHOLIC EMIGRATION.

The Roman Catholics, in their published protest, declare that they will not endure the subjection of their Sovereign Pontiff to any earthly authority. He shall be a King! Marking their “absolute shall,” which Congress may possibly disregard, Mr. Punch, the patron of the persecuted, begs to propose the formation of an Emigration Society, with a view to accommodate these protestant rapists. This charitable Association will endeavour to provide the funds necessary to enable them to abjure the realm, and exchange the constitutional Government of Queen Victoria for the paternal despotism of Pio Nono. They will thus be empowered to enjoy that form of government in preference to the other, just as the Mormons, forsaking the institutions of the United States, departed to rejoice under the theocracy of Joe Smith, and his successor, Brigham Young. A large exodus of the “faithful” may consequently be expected; that is, if his Holiness will agree to place himself at the head of it, and shift the Chair of Peter (with a Mahometan legend upon it) to some locality as far removed from modern civilisation as Utah, and the borders of the Salt Lake. They will leave their country for their country’s good, as many others have done before them who entertained similar views on the subject of high-treason.
