ARCHBISHOP HUGHES ON THE
WAR.
INTERKM’ING AND IMPORTANT LETTER FROM ARCH-
BISHOP HUGHES TO BISHOP LYNCH, OP SOUTH
CAROLINA,
The Metropolitan Record contains a very long
and interesting letter from Bishop Lynch, of South
Carolina, to Archbishop Hughes, presenting with
great force the arguments so often urged in favor
of desisting from the present war, which, ho says,
can never succeed in suppressing the Southern
Confederacy . The following is
THE ARCHBISHOP’S. REPLY.
New York, Aiig. 23,1851.
Bight Rev Hear Sir i I have received your
letter of the 4th inßt. How it reached, I can hard
ly But it camo to hand within about
toe usual period required for the transmission of
mail matter between Charleston and -New York
•during happier years, when all the States, North
and South, found their meaning in the words “ E
JflitriLu*. l tc/tt."
It must have run the blockade, or dodged the
pickets on hostile borders. I have read it with
Tcry deep interest, increased, if worthing, by the
penis of flood and field through which it must have
passed.
If even the innocent lightning of the North were
permitted to carry a message into Southern lati
tudes, I would telegram you for permission to pub
lish your calm and judicious communication. As it
is, however, my only chanco of acknowledging it is
through the Metropolitan Record, and without
special permission publish your letter at the came
time. In Ibis way it may happen that, during the
war or afterward, my answer will come under your
inspection. Yours is, in my judgment, one of the
most temperate views of the present unhappy con
test that nave ever come under my notice from any
eon of South Carolina. It is not to be inferred, how
ever, that, because I admire so much the calmness
of its tone and temper, I therefore agree with all its
arguments and speculations.
You say I am “ reported to have spoken strongly
against the war policy of the Government of the
United States, as fraught with much present suffer
ing, and not calculated to obtain any real advan
tage.” Reassured that, previous to the outbreak
of military violence, I was most ardently desirous
of preserving peace and union; but, since violence,
battle, and bloodshed have occurred, I dare not
hope for peace unless you can show me a founda
tion of rock or solid ground (but no quicksand ba
sis) on which peace can be re-established. The
nature of your ministry and mine necessarily im
plies that we should be the friends of peace. It
was the special legacy of our Divine Master to his
flock. And it 'would be strange if we, hid appointed
ministers, should be found in the ranks of its ene
mies. His words were, as we find in St. John.
“ Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you.”
And yet St. Paul, in writing to the Christian con
verts of Home, says: “Ifit be possible, as much
as it is in you, have peace with all men.” I think
this latter inspired quotation has at least a remote
bearing on our present sad difficulties
Tour explanations of the causes which have led
to this war are entirely Southern in their premises
and conclusions. But they are so vividly, and even
plausibly stated, that I leave them uncontroverted.
Your description of the evils resulting from the war
is too correct to be gainsaid by me. Still, here we
are in the midst of a sanguinary contest, which, so
fares I can sec, like a hurricane on the oicean, must
exhaust its violence before we can expect the re
turn of national calm. There is no one who desires
more ardently than Ido the advent of that bright
day on which we shall all be reunited in one great
prosperous country.
Instead of controverting the correctness of your
views in regard to thecauses of our actual troubles,
or determining where er on whom the responsibility
of their existence rests, I shall beg leave to make
my own statement from a point of view which is
found in the general sentiment of the people north
of Mason and Dixon’s line.
They say that, whatever may have been the an
terior origin of this war, its immediate cause was
the overt act of turning guns, put in place by the
State of South Carolina, against a public military
defence of the country at large, which of right be
longed to all the States in common. Then it is
thought, or at least stated, in these quarters, that
the South, for many years past, would not be satis
fied with less than a paramount control of the Na
tional Government. The South, it is well known,
has been in a fretful mood for many years under
Northern assaults, made upon ber civil and domes
tic institutions. It would be, on my part, very
uncandid to disguise the conviction that in this re
spect the South has had much reason to complain.
Leaving, however, opinions to fluctuate as they
may,. I will simply give you my own as to the
primary causes of our present strife.
You know that free speech and a free press are
essential constituents of the first notions of Anglo-
Saxon liberty. • These were the shibboleth of its ex
istence. prosperity, and prospects. In the exercise
ef these peculiar privileges, the North of this
country has nsed its type and its tongue offensively
against the South. Neither was the South back
ward in the work of retaliation on the same prin
ciple. But: the Anglo-Saxon, whether of the
South or of the North, would see the whole world
get in a blase rather than put limits to the freedom
of the press or the unbridled license of the tongue,
except when the laws interpose for the protection
of public authority or individual rights of character
and property.
At the commencement of our national institution
as an independent State, slavery, for instance, was
found to exist almost universally, in the North as
well as in the South. The word itself was not used
in any of the paragraphs found in the Magna Charta
of our Government. The slave trade from the
western coast of Africa had been encouraged by the
subjects and the Government of Great Britain. The
Government of England did not hesitate to affix its
veto on some of the enactments made by the recog
nized local authorities of the colonies for the dimi
nution of the slave trade. It would appear that
from this trade, so abominable In its primary origin,
there were certain emoluments the trea
sury of the mother country. And these emoluments
were looked to as a source of revenue, just as some
countries in Europe, in their sovereign capacity,
monopolize the largest portion of profits resulting
from commerce in salt and tobacco.
After the Revolution, slavery was gradually dis
pensed with in all the Northern States. Whether
this was done from what would now appear a sense
of humanity, or from motives of domestic or poli
tical lucre, it will be for you, as for me, a private
right to determine, each according to his own opin
ion. But slavery was a social element, recognised
in all the States at the period otthe Revolution. So
far the changes tlrnt have snpervened in reference
to slavery have been all in the North, and the
South is, to-day, as to this matter, in statu quo
just as she was at the period of the Declaration of
Independence. The Northern States, in the exer
cise of their acknowledged right, repudiated sla
very within their own borders. The Southern States,
in their equal exercise of theirs, have done just the
reverse. The North, nnrepenting of many sins of
ite own, has exhibited great remorse for the sins of
its neighbors. A portion of its inhabitants talk in
a certain style, not only of this subject, but of a
great many others about national sins, which, ac
cording to its solution of Pagan ethics or of Chris
tian duty, every human being is bound to correct.
Yet, the biggest sin in our day known to the North,
is not what occurs in its own immediate neighbor
hood or State, but the monster iniquity of the
South, which, between you and me, and as the
world goes, might have been permitted to manage
its own affairs in its own way, so that its acts should
be found cither in harmony with, or not in violation
of, the Constitution of the United States.
I am an advocate for the sovereignty of every
State in the Union, within the limits recognized and
approved of by its own representative authority
when the Constitution was agreed upon. As a con
sequence, I hold that South Carolina has no right
to interfere with the internal affairs of Massachu
setts. And, as a further consequence, that Massa
chusetts has no right to interfere with South Caro
lina, or its domestic and civil affairs, as one of the
sovereign States of this now threatened Union. But
the Constitution having been adopted by the com
mon consent of all the sovereign parties engaged in
the framework and approval thereof, I maintain
that no State has a right to secede, except in the
manner provided for in the document itself
The revolt of the colonies against the authority
of dr eat Britain i 9 another thing. If England had
extended to these colonies the common rights and
privileges nominally secured by the British Consti
tution, we have high authority for believing that
the colonies would not have gone, at least when
they did, into rebellion. Indeed, it might be as
serted and maintained, that it was not the Ameri
cans, but the British Ministry and Government,
that supplied legitimate reasons for the American
Revolution.
In the present case it would be difficult, by parity
of reasoning, to justify the grounds on which the
South have acted.
I think a few remarks will satisfy yon of the cor
rectness of this statement. You say that for many
years the South has proclaimed its dissatisfaction,
and announced its determined purpose of Secession,
if certain complaints should not he attended to, and
their causes redressed; that the South was alwaysin
earnest, and the North weuld never believe in their
sincerity or their predictions. This may be so; but
it gives us an occasion to remark that the National
Government, as such, had no special reason for the
Secession of the South at this time more than there
was ten or even fifteen years ago. The personal
liberty but was unconstitutional in the few States
which adopted it. New York was too wise and too
patriotic tu be caught in that trap. The so-called
personal-liberty bill was _ never _ adopted, so far as
document- are evidence, either directly or indirect-
Iy, by the Government at Washington. Indeed, I
am not aware of any statute passed by the National
authority which could give the South additional
reasons for discontent or complaint within the last
ten or fifteen years.
I have thus alluded to the unofficial causes fo
Southern resentment. Even in your own letter the
cause alleged is the election of the Chief Magis
trate. Tin.- does not seem at all sufficient to war
rant the coursc which the South has adopted.
The Government originally agreed upon by all
the States has lasted during a period of between
seventy and eighty years. During this time the
executive administration was enjoyed by the South
for fifty-two years. No Northern President has
ever been - re-elected. Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, and Jackson have each dis
charged that office for a term of eight years. The
conclusion is, then, that out of seventy or eighty
years of our Government, fifty-two years have
enured to our patriotic men of the South. This
fact involves the potentialities and powers of the
Government as having heen exercised by suprema
cy on the part of the South. The navy, the army,
the incumbents oi the Supremo Court were not
ignorant of or insensible to this fact. Now I put
it to your candor to say whether, after such a
history of the administration of our c0m..,;-, the
South might not have tolerated the occupancy of
the Presidential chair by the present incumbent
who, with his Northern predecessors in that office’
could hardly expect to survive officially the ordi
nary four years of a Northern Supreme Magistrate ?
You say that President Lincoln was elected by
BUCK Republicans in the North. I am inclined to
think that lio WM indirectly or negatively elected
by Democrats North and South. The Black Re
publicans presented one candidate, and in order to
•defeat his election, the Democrats, North and South,
presented three. If the latter had eeleeted only
one«us4idate. it is probable that the Black Re
publican?. it* j uu call them, would We b.*.;u iimiikl
. BS minus hob entes. Bat when the Xtemocrata
distributed their votes, apparently with a view of
rendering them inefficient, then, of course, tW one
man of choice was elected over the three candi
dates and competitors that had bees placed in rival
.ship with each other, and in tbs aggregate all
against him alone.' That he was constitutionally
qggeted under these eiremestanees is not denied
either in the South or in the Noth. Then, if so
elected, he is the Chief Magistrate of all the United
States of America, and, by his very oath of office,
is bound by their own common consent to Bee that
neither Maine, on the northeast, nor Texas, on the
southwest,- shall bo permitted to overthrow the ori
ginal compact agreed upon in the , Constitution of
tins Government. If States (hall be allowed, in
faceof that national Constitution, to kick over the
traces of a common unit®, m agreed upon iu the
primitive days of our Government, then it is diffi
cult to see why counties, ani townships, and vil
lages may not be at liberty to do the same thing
just as often as the freak or fancy to do so may or
shall have come upon them.
: There nppears to be hn idea in the South that
the National Government and the people of the
North are determined to conquer and subjugate
them. This, I think, is a great mistake. First,
in tho sterner sense of the word “conquer,” it
: seems to me utterly impossible: and, if .possible,
I think it would be undesirable and injurious
I both to the North and to the South. Unless I
j have been deceived by statements considered
I reliable, I would say that the mind of tho North
looks only to tho purpose of bringing back tho
seceded States to their organic condition —ante
bcllnr/i- ‘
There remains now scarcely a hope of peace, and
the issue is apparently that the' North must tri
umph on the field of Mars, or that the South shall
i prove itself victorious on the same bloody arena.
( But, after all, we must not despair in reference
| to a coming peace. .The idea of an armistice, even
j for six months, is now utterly hopeless, but I think
; that the North, if the chance were presented, would
he as willing f.. enter us terms uf peace as the
South itself. Still, lam bound to say, under deep
conviction of the truth, that, of both sections un
happily launched on the swelling torrent of our do
mestic troubles, the North will bo the latter to sink
or swim in the sanguinary tide on which both are
now afloat.
You make mention of the commissioners sent to
Washington, at nn early period of the struggle, with
kind, fair, and liberal propositions, ns you consider
them, for the arrangement of thfiSfhOle difficulty.
Before reaching the point of settlement there would
bo found a vast amount of principle involved. Com
missioners should have some recognized authority
to warrant them in attempting to discharge the
duties of their official office. Those of the South, in
the circumstances, so for as I can see, had no autho
rity whatever.
The people of your region (when I say people, of
course I mean the voters, as commonly understood
in this country) had scarcely been consulted on this
vital question. Their Government, so called, was
unrecognized by any civil principality on the face
of the earth. Commissioners presented themselves
before the public servants of a Government uni
versally recognized by all nations. The terms of
these Southern commissioners were more of dicta
tion than of petition. The Government at Wash
ington had to choose one or other of two alterna
tives. The President and his Cabinet might have
chosen the alternative of perjury, and acceded to
the demands of those commissioners, or they might,
as they surely did, decline every official intoroourse
with them.
They chose the latter course. And now it only
remains to see whether the Government is what it
| calls itself—the Government of the United States,
! or merely the Government of a fraction, thereof—
| and that fraction mensured out to them by South
j ern commissioners who could not show a legitimate
j title for the commission which they professed to
! execute.
! You think it hard and unnatural that foreigners
i and Catholics should be deluded into the service
of tho recognized National Government in order to
be immolated in the front of battles and made
food of for Southern powjjer. If this end were a
deliberate policy in the North, I should scout and
despise it. I admit and maintain that foreigners
now naturalized, whether Catholics or not, ought to
bear their relative burden in defence of the only
country on those shores which they have recognized,
and which has recognized them as citizens of the
United States.
Jdr. Russell, the correspondent- of - the London
Times, reports a conversation which he had with
“a very intelligent Southern gentleman, formerly
editor of a newspaper# who stated, on behalf of
the Confederacy, “ Well, sir, when things are sot
tied, we’ll just take the law into our own hands.
]■ Not a man shall hare a vote unless he’s American
born, and by degrees we’ll get rid of these men
who disgrace us.” Mr. Russell inquired: “Are
not many of your regiments composed of Germans
and Irish—of foreigners, in fact T ” “Yes, Sir.”
This Tcry “intelligent Southern gentleman,
formerly editor of a newspaper,” is certainly no
true representative of the gentlemen whom it was
my good fortune and pleasure to meet whenever I
travelled in the South. But no matter. If the
statement be true, it only.shews that for Irish and
foreigners in general the South is nearly as un
friendly as the North can be. It proves, further,
thnt so far as the Irish are concerned, the heredita
ry calamities of their native land follow them up
wherever they go in one form or another. Here,
and now, they are called upon by both sides to fight
in the battles of the country; and, no matter who
triumphs, they need not look for large expressions
of thanks or gratitude from either side. Still,
whether in peace or war, take them for all in all,
they are as true to the country as if they had been
bom on its once free and happy soil.
Pardon me this digression, and let me return to
the other sentiment touching the hope of a pro
spective peace.
That word “peace” is becoming more or less
familiar here in tho North. In a crisis like this, it
is not, in my opinion, expressive of a sound prin
ciple or a safe policy. Its meaning changes the
basis and the issue of this melancholy war. If
changed, it will be a war, not between the South'
and the North, 'geographically considered, but a
war between the two great political parties that
divide the country. Instead of this partisan
hostility, wise patriots should rival each other in
restoring or preserving the Union as one nation, its
prosperity, and the protection and happiness of its
| entire people, in all their legitimate rights. But
j all this is to be judged of by others, and the opinion
j of any individual is of the smallest account. If a
word of mine could have the slightest influence, I
would suggest that, even while the war is going on,
there might he a Convention of the seceded States,
held within their own borders. It might be one
representative appointed from each of thoso States,
by the Governor, to meet and examine the whole
case as it stands, arrange and draw up a report of
their grievances, or what they consider such, and
report to their several Governors the result of their
deliberations, and the conclusions at which they
all all have arrived.
The same process might be adopted in the Stales
that have riot seceded, and similar reports be made
to their respective Governors. This would be only
a preparatory measure for something more im
portant. If a better feeling, or understanding,
could be even partially arrived at, a future Con
vention of all the States by their representatives
would have something to act upon. The difficul
ties might be investigated and provided for ; the
Constitution might be revised by general consent;
and if the platform—sufficiently ample for three
millions at the period when the Constitution was
formed—is found to be neither of breadth nor
strength to support a population of thirty-three
millions, wise and patriotic men might suggest, ac
cording to the rules prescribed in the original
document, the improvements which the actual con
dition of the country would seem to require. The
Constitution itself, in its letter and spirit, is, no
doubt, the same as it was when first framed ; but
everything around has been undergoing change for
nearly eighty yearn.
For a peace of that kind I would be a very sin
cere, if not an influential advocate. But to expect
that a peace will spring up by the advocacy of in
dividuals in the midst of the din and clash of arms,
amidst the mutually-alienated feelings of the peo
ple, and the widening of the breach which has now
separated them, would be, in my opinion, hoping
against hope. Still, we must trust that the Almighty
will overrule and direct the final issues of this la
mentable contest.
I had no intention to write so long a response
to your kind letter. Enough, and perhaps more
than enough, has been said; and it only remains for
me to add that the Catholic faith and Catholio cha
rity which unites us in the spiritual order shall re
main unbroken by the booming of cannon along the
lines that unfortunately separate a great and once
prosperous community into two hostile portions,
each arrayed in hostile strife against the other.
I have the honor-to remain, as ever,
Your ob’t serv’t and Brother in Christ,
John, Archbishop of New York.
Rt. Rev. P. N. Lynch, Bishop of Charleston.

heart, that these very foes had brought destruc

and that they had crossed into her country for the
purpose of subverting its institutions, and the
form of government it had chosen, ns a free people,

hood. Report adds that a large number of rebel
prisoners had been taken by Prentiss’ command, and
a large number of wagons, Ac., which had already
reached Cape Girardeau.
FIGHT AT LEXIXGTON
The Missouri Republican of the Ist inst. says:
A fight took place at Lexington, Lafayette county,
on Thursday last, in the day time, between 4,500
Secessionists and 430 Home Guards and United
States troops, in the entrenchments around Lexing
ton. The attack was made by the Secessionists,
who were repulsed, with a loss of sixty killed in
the battle, and three of their pickets. None of the
Federal force was killed.
During the engagement Arcana Hall, occupied
by the Masons, ana a private residence opposite to
the court house, were shelled and burned.
IVe learn, further, that ex-Governor King, of
Bay county, who had been taken prisoner, had
made his escape from the Confederates; but Judge
Byland and his son, John, were still prisoners.
EXCITEMENT AT PADUCAH, KY.
The Bowen, the Evansville packet, arrived at
Cairo on the 30th ult. Capt. Dexter, on landing at
Paducah, apprehending danger, had loaded up his
rilled cannon, and refused to let any one come on
board except those who had business. A Secession
ist, named Smedley, raved around, threatened to
Eboot him, and collected quite a crowd. The ex
citement ran high for some time, but the captain
and crew stood by their cannon and muskets, and
kept them at bay, and finally escaping without be
ing attacked.
TESTIMONIAL TO COMMODOEE STniXGHAM.
A letter has been sent to Commodore Stringham,
signed by many of the prominent citizens of New
York city, congratulating him upon the success of
his expedition to the coast of North Carolina.
Commodore Stringham has written a reply, stating
his appreciation of this token of their approval,
and promising his willingness in the future, as in
the past, to serve his country.
THE FUGITIVE-SLAVE LAW
It appears that some time since Marshal McDow
ell, United States Marshal for Kansas, addressed a
letter to the United States Attorney General,
stating that he did not deem it his duty to return
fugitives to Missouri until she became more loyal,
and asking for advice on thatsubject. The follow
ing was the reply:
Attorney General’s Office, July 23,1861.
J, L. McDowell, IT. S. Marshal , Kansas:
Sir : Your letter of the 11th July, received 19th
(under frank of Senator Lane, of Kansas,) asks
advice whether or not you should give your
services in the execution of the fugitive-slave
law
It is the President’s constitutional duty to « take
care that tltr lav's be faithfully executed.” That
means all the laws. He has no right to discrimi
nate—no right to execute the laws he likee and
leave unexecuted those he dislikes. And of course,
you and I, his subordinates, can have no wider
latitude of discretion than he has. Missouri is a
State in the Union . The insurrectionary disor
ders in Missouri are but individual crimes, and do
not change the legal status of the State, nor change
its rights and obligations a; a member of the Union.
A refusal by a ministerial officer to execute any
law which properly belongs to his office is official
misdemeanor, of which I do not doubt the Presi
dent would take notice.
Very respectfully, Edward Bates.
THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE SUMPTER.
The squadron in the gulf has received informa
tion of the precise whereabouts of the privateer
Sumpter. Her crew is in a disorganized state.
She is without coal, mousy, or credit. Some of the
vessels in the gulf were promptly sent after her.
STRANGE CONDUCT OF AN ENGLISH MAN-OF-WAR.
A despatch to the Navy Department, dated off
Fort Pickens, August 17, says: “An English man
of-war steamer, flying a pennant, ran down to us
last Sunday morning, and crossed our hows within
a quarter of a mile, hauled his wind, and stood off j
without commumeating or observing the usual ;
courtesies common to all national vessels on meet- 1
ing each other. This manoeuvre, in presence of !
our enemy, was exhibited for the express purpose i
of showing John Bull’s interest for King Cotton. j
SEIZURE OF GUNPOWDER. j
On Sunday morning last a detective officer ar- j
jested two men who had in a boat forty-five kegs ■
of gunpowder. As they' eould give no satisfactory |
acoount of themselves, it is presumed that their I
object was to blow up the Croton aqueduct, near I
Hastings—its most exposed part. i
PROMOTION OP GERMAN SOLDIERS,
Major General McClellan is a statesman as well ;
as a soldier. He yesterday took three German •
officers from General Blenker’s staff, and, giving to !
each the promotion of a grade, attached them to 1
his own staff. He did this, as ho said, to show that |
the foreign and the native-born had equal rights, i
as well as duties, in the suppression of this rebel
lion, mid liiat liie adopted citizens, so far as ho was
concerned, should share with the native-born in
the honors as well as the dangers of battling for the 1
Republic. —Washington Cor. of the Tribune. ,
FIIOM JEFFERSON CITY.
The Missouri Democrat of the 2d inst says :
By passengers on the Pacifio Kail road train last
night, we learn that, on Thursday last, the noto
rious Captain Magoffin, of Pattis county, was cap
tured by a detachment of Colonel Marshall’s ca
valry, in Georgetown. They surrounded the tfiftn,
and took Magoffin a others without iliffi
cullv. One report pn.’SKtbat ; t'£jßS» the troops were
passing through. Magoffin tired but of a window
and killed two of them. He was immediately
seized, and, it was supposed, hnng or shot by ordor
of Colonel Marshall, on the same day.

rjtHE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Has been established on a secure and permanent found**
tion; but it is, in reality, a marvellous example of thl
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS JOURNAX*
Can receive at the hands of a liberal ahd enlightened
Public. Our most grateful thanks are tendered for tfai
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shall apart
no efforts which may serve to render the paper even aon
attractive, useful, and popidar in the future.
The general features of the Paper, in addition to iti
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and Oil
ginal and Selected TALES, chosen for their lessoned!
Life, illustrations of History, depicture of Manners, oaft
general merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the tort
of both sexes and all ages.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to be subject to unremitting care and atten
tion, and aU diligence be employed to make this paper A
compendium of all the principal events of interest vtltb
transpire, at borne and abroad.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally acknow
ledged to be of an elevated 6tamp, shall not only maintate
its present High Standing, but shall be enhanced by im
portant and valuable contributions from able Writes*
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, we Bboll carefully as
cludo from our columns everything which may reasonably
be objected to on the Bcore of improper tendency. The
fields Of pure Literature afford sufficient material to
make an
ACCEPTABLE KAMIL? NEWSPAPEft,
Containing all the elements of excellence, without a siDgt*
objectionable line; and the proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a family need
hesitate lb let its columns go under the notice of a of
member of his Household.
