PROTESTANT MAGAZINE.

JANUARY 1, 1861.

OUR TWENTY-THIRD VOLUME.

WITH this Number we commence the Twenty-third Volume of the "Protestant Magazine." The years which have passed since the formation of the Protestant Association-of which it is avowedly the organ-have been too generally characterized by much callous indifference, if not positive hostility, to Protestant. interests; and there is now, as much as ever, need for earnest Protestants to combine, and to show a determination not to suffer a pro-Popery policy to prevail, or pro-Popery legislation to disgrace our Statute-book. Our foreign policy should be avowedly and essentially Protestant in all those cases where either the interests of our fellow-countrymen, or those of foreign Protestants unjustly persecuted for their religion, are involved. Vast liberties and concessions have been made by the British Parliament in favour of the rights of conscience; and Roman Catholics enjoy in this country not only the opportunity of worshipping their Creator according to the dictates of their consciences, but they enjoy also political rights, and are not restricted from any due and proper efforts to induce persons to join their religion. Is it unfair to urge upon Papal Governments that they should in some degree act on principles of reciprocity? That they should in some degree grant to Protestants in Popish lands the same degree of liberty which we, the first Protestant nation of the world, grant to Roman Catholics when visiting or residing amongst us for the purpose of either pleasure or business?

We do not speak of naval and military power being brought to bear; but, over and above physical force, there is a moral power and weight, which might have been called into salutary activity, and which even now would tend to produce consequences of a most beneficial character.

During the Protectorate, oppressed Protestants felt the influence of the British power and the British name exercised on their behalf; and Romish Sovereigns, and ministers, and priests, were awed or shamed into a better treatment of their Protestant subjects and fellow-countrymen.

The times have changed, and rarely, unless moved from with-
