In view of this, I have considered it in v du ty t :11.;:titt call your attention to blunder?, no less hip; ~ri~nliy incorrect and flatt er i ng nivselfat the same time that I shrill he as suc cessful in drawing forth:your ac,i'oloteleilgwients, as was our friend already alluded to. ltr your present dignified and responsible position, both as an editor, a leader of the ".order Of the Star Spangled Banner," as well . a s an officer of -I ank and title'' of our good old Commonwealth, truth and consistency are auxiliaries and attrihnte4 -of the greatest im portance. You know what great and nthmen thus re.sub-s—aw-144. ) -tss is d •• ban, MAYO and has achieved. when under the guidance of ability, truth and justice ! On the other hand. Iron are fully aware of the sad results that it Umst necessarily-wield when these virtues arc wantine , in those who assume the, responsible and exalted mission of guiding and directing its lAin. However, it is acknowledged to be human to err, and almost divine to confess it. Then, in order to convince You more easily and thoroughly that your political course has been inconsistent, it may be necessary for us to travel back to the - fact and .the time when you issued that ••word to' your Catholic, Friends," in which you defined and prescribed their duty under the then existing:circumstances, and the results that might ensue to them, in case they pursued a certain course. which the circum stances of the times led — von to apprehend that they would. You then admonished your Cath olic Friends to vote. at the coming election, as their judgment and conscience approved ; and Lad you stopped at this, you would have rich ly deserved their ev;:rlasting -gratitude, as it was at that time becoming: evident Lhat the Whig party was rapidly apploachmlig'ils dis solution—its- merging into Know Mid you, in view of this revolutionary proec,s, absolved your Catholic 11 lug friends Trout fur ther allegiance 1:0 a party that was surely mid rapidly fusing with and merging into a faction that avowed death to Run in 11l I —10.(1 you, in consequenc,e ofall this, merely told youir Cath olic Friends to vote in accordance with their judgment and their consciences-, your conduct would have - been magnanimous and praise worthy indeed. But you will remember, you dealt on this occasion, as on almost all others, iu eXtivitieS. IV hilt. you extended to them the constitutional privilege of voting as their judg ment and conscience approved. you at the same time warned than to bear in _mind, "in mak ing up that judginent,". that the day might come when the conservative': Whig party might ciiangt, its ground,- and come out operilg and ftarie.ysly and against those who might thus conscientiously desert and abandon it. Was not this inconsistency of the most nar row, illiberal, uncharitable‘type ? If any cir cumstance con/t/ possibly tend to make it More fio, it would be the fact which you subsequent ly, 'and, methinks, incautiously revealed, that all this time you were secretly i‘lotting and planning the election of a Mr. Wilson, whose political creed had always - been the reverse of yours, and who was at that very time enjoying the . honors and blessings of office, under the then and -the present "Loco-foco Administra tion." Since the election, you have, so far as you were concerne - d", - venlied your prf;iiiidic thawl in regard to.cozning out opettlib fearlessly and firmly against those who saw fit to alhaudon the Whig party._ But even in this you betray your wonted, your proverbial inconsistency. iu ne glecting to include yourself in the lumber of those who abandoned- the Whi: , party. You should, therefore, iny dear ft ien7l, direct - a por tion of your Flying Artillery against your own noisy battery and-endeavor to silence it some what in its noise about Catholicity and Mr. Brow Ilson. Brownson is now your hobby. A stranger, on-reading your revelations and fears concern ing him, would be induced to conclude that he was really more than Pope of these United States. You seem to not know, and to not want to know, that this Mr. Brown:ion. like yourself, is nothing more than a poor fallible, lay editor of a Journal, with but very few Catholic admirers—not one that I am acquaint ed with. There was a time when this was not the case ; but, like most aristocratic and aspiring men, who have the misfortune to be placed in a position similar to yours, he has written himself oat of parer/ and friends, and is looked upon by all classes as a tickle 'and au inconsistent man. like yourself, too, is the reputed father of soiree very smart :ITU eles,---sublitne sentiments, and lot - dcal conclu sions. But they were followed and inter spersed by so many hair breadth distinctions, Know Nothing exceptions and fanciful accom paninients,—rendering the whole sea unpalata ble and so unintelligible,—as to force those who were slow to comicial, to come to the charitable conclusion that he might possibly be in "adralice of the times." Such is my idea of the individual whose private opinions SCOII to have thrown 3ou into a paroxism of fear concerning the security and perpetuity of our Government ; and on the faith of whom you "Further do demand of the American Catholic Church a prompt disavowal of the dogma of obedience to a Foreign Potentate, so boldly sought to be latened upon the c h urc h by a Priestlioo , l ',wink of farciifn extraction, and recognizing, no allegiahce to our Govern ment."

This von were well aware of when Ton penned those startling lines concerning the in dividual opinions ofMr.Brownson, but instead of hailing it as a rebuke to those who had been prating so vociferously aiolt - the —temporal power of the Yope," "obedience to a foreign Potentate," and no allegiance to our Govern ment," you had the effrontery to respond to it somewhat in this manner: "But the whole history and praeice of the Catholic Church j_ both here and elsewhere neg,ative the patriotic 111i:twins contained in the said Pastoral— MitEMEMENZSETIZEI Prelates are subject. in alt things to the Pope come and go at his bidding, _and ae 'lthowlolge him as infallible." which your di-Tosed of the Patriotic, American and conservative sentiments of ,the dignitaries of-the Church some time ago : now you are heard Imidly calling-on this same American Catholic Church for - rebukes atidrtimiegwuis and definitions. with all-the apparent sincerity and devotion of tt►e Pharis - ee. A ,, itin very respectfully yours, W. Mit. F.nrroa:—l perceive that the editor of the .Sler of your place is Ihreatcniq with aye lapse of mania, in consequence of the fear that a bargain 'was entered into before the last Presidential election, on the part of the Demo cratic party and the Catholic Priesthood, "in pursuance of which Pierce 'received the mass of the Catholic vote of the country." The Star seems unfortunate in his "Ex changes." since he can find no:hing to give him aid and comfort in .this dilemma. Ile quotes from Air. Rayner, from Mr: Ellis, and even from Mr.'ll.trringer himself, but can come to no redeeming, no assuaging explanations and circumstances, and despair scents to have taken possession of him, body and breeches : while he is forced to entitle the whole affair "The Proof ofa Startling Fact." Now, if the Star has the peace and security of his country and the love of his neighbor at heart, he will be rejoiced to learn that after all his garbled extracts, there' is" something wrong in Den mark, and that the proof of the startling fact is not so alarmingly strong as his "slab sided" exchanges and editorials would make it. The following extract front the same Mr. Barring er's letter, as contained in the BAlti inore A iner ican'of.Monday !as,t, will prove this assertion. 1 hope the Star editor. after reading it, will display more courrt: , c, and communicate his experituce to his readers, and at the same time give the extract an insertion in his Star. Ilere it is':—"Vespasin Ellis, Esq., publishes entire the letter fain+ Mr. Barringer, relative to the assertion that the Pope's . nuncio had mfornwd him at Madrid of the appoiramyt of Pastillas ter•General Campbell before he hail any news of the formation of. the Cabinet, and while it was a subject of conjecture in the public Mind at-Madrid. Mr. B. adds : "T did nol al all suppose that he had any precious Ifriowierk , of an intention to appoint this gentleman to office, or ihel be: litu_tv, or had a ny_reasoit_ tO Leh c__i t _was done_ n__pst seance ofany bargain or int iigno, to this elket, on the part of any persons ‘vhatsoever. "The infere . nee I made was. that the appoint ment of a Catholic to this high office being. nalu;-alli f a cause of much inter c-.t and satis faction to the church of that faith, especial phis had been taken in snmemuarters to com municate, the earliest intelligcnce of that fact to the leading members of zhe Catholic priest hood." It is to be hoped the Democrats of old M ums will properly estimate an'd duly appre ciate the late efforts of the Siar in thus pander ing to the religious passions of the community. They know full well, and so does the Star, when this same James Campbell was a candi date several years ago for Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, that the Catholic Whigs in a body walked up to the polls, and as open ly, as freely and as firmly deposited their votes against him, as they did against Mr. Bigler himself. They acted and voted on the principle that religion was a matter entirely between man and his Maker, and that it was morally and politically wrong to bring it to bear at the ballot-box. Ilad all Protestants done the same, Mr. Campbell Would not now ERF termed Mr. Post master general, Mr. Barringer would not have had the conversation, attribated to him, with the Nuncio, Ur. itayuer_would_have_had_no cause to write that starilimt• fact to Mr. Vcs pasian Ellis. and the said Mr. Vespasian Ellis would have had no occasion to publish entire the —very important and conclusive letter" alluded to and last, but not least, the Star would...now be snared the Imrriws, that all these ithr-ilw!. circumstances were well calculated to produce on a nervous system so delicately eon structed as his. But. as the day is breaking, let us_ iidulge in the hope that our I>cuioeraiic brethren of whatever class of Christians, will spurn with manly indignation all attempts, however specious, to decoy them front the path of duty. Let them be or their guard, for th&ir enemies are at woil lay and /light, and in their eagerness for plimder. they will stoop to almost anything to accomplish their ends. The past has shown that they will even enter our camp in the garb of democracy, with vio lated plcrlgo on their lips, fur the sordid sake of office—that they will sacrifice their best friends, betray their long elm-Isbell piinciplc, y proless to be one in in - s friend, and in the time of need, and in the ehrch-th hour, they will betray their dupilcilll by sympathiz ing with, and voting for another. h- A Goon Yit.i.n.—The Monongahela Rinib eau says, that Mr•.
