-ZzAR Sra:---LSini . e my last commnificatio - ri'
to you, I was•pleased to heat that you had"
been promoted by the worthy Chief EKeentive
of our good 'old Commonwealth, to'some office
orwhich-, I 'am-aAnioat-asalauted to
confess. I have forgotten.; which must' be a .
sufficient apology for not addressing you with
the appendage that properly belongs to your
resent standin. and • isition among the for-
tunate ones of the ay. . n since my ast,
too, you have again touched one at the apa
rent expense of a gowl deal of eqnidnight oil."
e o a - a our former difficulties and
dissensions. I cannot now say that T am
surprised to g 6 this, for it, would sem of such ,
is your present platform composed:
B e fore the last A utti m nal election you seemed
to all intents and purposes ',‘_to_be_and remain"
a conservative IN hig. At least you professed
to be one ; and even retained the armies of our
_- "old line regulare r iiiihin the ample folds of
your Spati4led Banner up to the very _day of
their sacrifice. let no' sooner were some of
them, together with" Mr. Wilson, your dernier
stood, known to be defeated, than either fortu
nately or unfortunately. you conceived it to be
your duty to unmask yourself, by publicly,
declaring that it became evident early in the
--eaviass-that-Mr Neely could u• • •
and consequently that the great mass of the
. Whig votes went over to Mr. Wilson, the
Know Nothing candidate. Thus it would seem
when the &eat mass of' the Whig votes went
over, you also gave up the .ship, abandoned
the Whig party, and anchored yourself and
Your occupation on the Know Nothing platform.
Therefore, I am not now surprised to find you
dealing more freely and frequently in the terms
and. technicalities that form the various parts
'or the Know Nothing vocabulary of tactics.
If in your present dignified and enviable posi
-:--tion_l-were permitted_ to give_y_oo n hint of a -
vice, rwouki admonish you by all means to
be "aisy," and not to give yourself tiny unne
cessary anxiety or apprehension about the con
duct of others not underdvour charge, who are
in the habit of exercising the right to - speak
and act for themselves on some occasions, with
out considering themselves answerable at your
"judgment bar" for what they may do or say.
You know you are already "beyond the
'Woods." You are out of harm's way =either
above or below your enemies- 7 -and in ,the
peaceable and undisputed possession of the
sweets and honors of office—you can wear them
as the laurels of merit, the badges of victory.
This, iti the honorable view of the case, is
ail sufficient for you, as well as more than
enough to humble the minds and the hearts of
your imaginary enemies. To this add the fact
Of the prosperous state of your finances, as ex
hibited a few weeks ago through the columns
of your luminous journal. when you eleg,antly
and eloquently depicted the happy futurity that
lay before you, in the assurance that your new
position would enable you to obtain 'five new
subscribers for every old one that would drop
off, in consequence of the change that had late
ly come over the spirit of your dreams. "
To these profits, add the before mentioned
'honors, and if you are not the Most happily
situated person extant,—the most fortunate
man this side of the Blue Mountains, and the
most prosperous Editor within the circle of
my acquaintance. I know nothing of huMan
nature, nothing of worldly honors, and nothing
of earthly pleasures and distinctions.
But it seems genius, like murder, will out.
It cannot be pent up or smothered. It must
shine, especially when accompanied by spunk
and energy and industry. In these I discover
the cause and the source of your. last and labo
rious efforts, despite of the luxury and ease
that honors and wealth have placed at your
very door. This, too, -is the nineteenth centu
ry, the age of progress and improvement, of
- telegraphs and steam; and of course those to . ,
whom much-has been-given. must expect that
much off' will be required at their
hands. Under these cicrumstances you there
fore cannot be - expected to lie dormant.—espe
cially when both genius and energy and grati 7
tude loudly call upon their recipients to be up
and adoing while there is yet work to be done.
In obedience to the mandates of these, it
would follow that you mast du and say som e.
thine, and since you have deserted, if not be
trayed your old party and friends, you are ne
cessitated 'either to beat an honorable and
humble retreat, by rendering unto your Late
party indemnity for the past. and security for
the future, or continue to do the work of the
"new organization," underaidniseiianners you
seem to have enlisted about the time that it
became evident that Mr. Neely could not be
elected—about the time that you deserted your
old and tried frienl, when the friwns of adver
sity seemed to be gathering upon his brow.
Hence in order to make a kind of a debut in
your new position, and in order - to distract
your old friends from the incotisistency of your
. political course, you are now evidently endeav
oring to impress the public with the idea that
the "preconcerted movement on the part of the
Catholics, first to banish the Bible from our
public schools—then against the school system
itself—and finally to withdraw the title to and
control of all church property from the laity
and vest it exclusively in Bishops holding ap
pointments from and dependent on their spir
itual head," was, well calculated to fill - the
minds of the honest masses of both parties
with fearful apprehensions concerning the pros
perity, if not the very perpetuity of our Insti
tutions. In the face of this, and "more of the
same sort," you have the hardihood to declare
that you have "not been advised that Know
Nothingism contemplated interfering with re
ligious rights or privileges !" Indeed ? None
so blind as those that do not wish to see !
Know Nothingism does not contemplate inter
fering with the religious rights and privileges
of Catholics?--it only wants to prescribe the
sort of Bible, they must use, and the time and
. place they are to use it—it only wants to regu
late the title of their own property, and vest it
in persons not elected by the church discipline
—and it only wants to cut them off from their
spiritual head, from the successor of Saint Pe
ter. This you arc charitable enough to con
. sider as not interfering with the religious rights
and privileges of Catholics. 0, no. I sup
pose you look upon this as a mere political
interference. I pity the ignorance of the man
that you and your Know Nothing dictators
could gull into this belief. You certainly know
better youiself, and if you would divest your
self for one moment of the film of bigotry that
encompasses your eyes, you would undoubted
ly recall the many anti-republican and unchar- -
itable expressions that you have put forth
since you have abandoned the piilitical Nth of
your forefathers. Indeed, I firmly believe that

glad if you and the-Know Nothings could de
vise some plan that would effectually relieve
them from the trouble and responsibility that
necessarily attaches to the holding in trust the
titles of Church property. They have tried
the Trustee system in vain, as it deprived them
of the power of preceofilig, while their office

Catholics. who may have .cen eau y, quiet y
and peaceably endeavorini; to have repealed
that which even many ProteStants think arbi
trary and oppressive ?
if you do not • believe the Catholics to he
'sincere when they solemnly affirm that they
would resist even unto the death any attempt
on the part Of any foreign sovereignty or Poten
tate, not even excepting the Pope of Rome, to
illegally interfere with the temporal matters
of =this Republic, be patient enough to tarry
until such declarations shall have been put to
the_practical test : and if
_you find them disre
garded and unredeemed, then will be the time
to speak:'openly , fearlessly and firmly" against
the temporal poWer of the Pope,_and the dis
loyalty of the Catholic sulijects. Catholics . as
a body, on all occasions, when their services
.were required. from the discovery of this coun
try down to the present day, have pawed them
selves to be as good citizens and soldiers as
any other class of christians in the land, and
have done as much for the glory and honor and
profit of the country, according to their num
ber, as any other sect.
But, like others, they are fallible, and some
times subject , themselves to the pain's and pen
alties of the evil doers. But if they have their
failings, you must also admit that they have
their redeeming virtues. - The patience-that
they have exhibited, and in which they have
endured the many insults that have been
heaped trpon their persons, their property and
their reli g ion, at the hands of the Know-Noth
ings, and the spirits that gave them birth, from
the burning of the Charlestown Convent,
through the razing to jhe ground of the
churches of Philadelphia. tifte tarring and feath
ering of the Priest of Ellsworth, the riddling
and almost demolishing of the - church at New
ark, and the shooting of an innocent man, to
the Inquisitorial visiting and examining of the
Catholic school of Roxbury., by the present
Legislature of the State of old Massachusevs ,
yes;'l say, the patience and the forbearance
that they have exhibited on these and sunilar
soul-tryinc , occasions is truly without a paral
lel in the history of modern times—with noth
ing, perhaps. to surpass it in the profane his
tory of the whole world !
The Democratic . party, true to its antece
dents and its instincts, could not but detect
and denounce the perpetrators of these outra
ges, in terms the most decided and unequi vo
cal, even at the risk of losing mait'y of its pro
fessed members; and as the reward of its loy
alty_ to the Constitution and the rights of man,
I blush to say, that it seems to have brought'
upon itself a temporary defeat. Yet it cont in
nes to battle in the good cause it so early es
poused,, with the same ardor adid courag e that
it manifested in the days of its triump h and
success.
- Your attacks upon it are very similar to those
that you urge against the Catholic church.
They are similarly futile and absurd. You
ridicule the Democratic party when heretofore
democratic districts elect Know Nothing can
didates, by a combination of the . Whigs and
'the disloyal and disaffected democrats. You
seem•to forget that the Democratic port?, can
not help this, any more than the Catholic
church can help some of those who are un
worthy to he called Catholics, from insulting
American processions, or from shooting down
American citizens. The Democratic party
does all it can to keep its members front com
mitting treason to its .principles--and the
Catholic church spares no labors or pains to
preserve its adherents from trampling upon the
commands and requirements of the Gospel.
If. on some occasions, both have been-unsuc
cessful in their laudable efforts, you have no
more moral right to impugn the motives of the
one, than you have to burn the edifices and de
file the sanctuaries of the other.
Hoping that your views may soon take a
more exalted and liberal turd. and that both
of us may- improve in morals and in virtue,
permit me to subscribe myself, as ever, your
well-wisher. and very humble servant.
