A recent number of the Dublin Tablet,
an Irish Catholic journal, calls to account
several of the Irish members of Parliametit
for failing in' their duty to the Church.—
We insert part of the article, as we find it is
the Dublin'correspondence of the Phihtdel
tibia-North American :
"This country Of ours is a Catholic coun
try, the real constituents of it are the
bishops and priests. We take this for;
granted, arid 'we do not see how it can be
questioned. Thorn are of course excep•
tions ;. places where lay influence predomi
nates ; but, on the whole, the Irish repre
sentation is the work of the, priesthood,—
The Irish members are in Parliament be-,
cause the priests have sent them there';
they know It perfectly Well, and the Pro
testants are not ignorant of it. The Irish I
priests are alio the only priests in Europe
or America that
,have snob powers. and
who Ho under so grand a responsibility.—
It is in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, in a parliament fierce
ly Protestant, and in the fape of the most
virulent hatred of the Christiau religion.
that the priesthood wields this formidable
power. It is to their credit, and to the °red-
it of the people they govern ; it is an hon.
orable tribute to their worth, and to the
excellency of their life. They can do in
Ireland what the priests cannot do in
France., Belgium, or Piedmont ; and
they du 'it openly in the face of the
Government, and no man dares to molest
them.
"Well, atter this, we do not think it on.
reasoxable to expect some sorter reverence
- for the -priesthood in Parliament,. Some
fifty gentlemen or more sit there by favor
of priests, and yet none of them will de
fend their oonstituenteand their masters
when the Prime Minister abuses the
;bale sacerdotal order, and calumniates,
either from ignorance or malice, the Holy
See. Such is our abjetition and worldli
ness, that we have nothing 'to say when
the Sovereign Pontiff is stupidly reviled.
We fear that this silence does not proceed
from arty Christian spirit of patience ; for
whenever an honorable metriber thinks
himself unjustly mitered he seems never
to sleep over the injury."
This extract deserves more than a hasty
reading. It assorts that Irish Priests di
rectly control Irish polities ; that fifty .
members of Parliament are 'there by favor
of the priests ;" that the real constituents
of these members are the bishops and priests
and that Protestant Britain has a "most
viruleut haired of the Christian religion."

Christienity, still Adhering to the Routish
idea that Protestants are heretics, and that
heretics are only fit for the stake.
The Priests control the politics of Ire
land., because they hold the people in ter
ror of their power, and because thus they
can most certainly tidvattee the interests of
the Church, to which they have sworn a
paramount duty. Who doubts that Amer
ica would be as priest.ridden as Ireland,
if our population were as abject, and if the
people would yield to the arrogant de
mands of the Romish Clergy ? Already we
have seen the intentions of Rome, in its
foray upon our Common School System,
and our laws relating to the holding of
Church Property. Lot us beware how we
place ourselves at the moray of such a
master.

Is it proscription to oppose a class or a
party because you consider their prinei
plea wrong• and their measures injurious ?
If that is proscription, then are men of all
parries proscribed. Then are both tilla
verynien and Anti-sliverymen, Anfericana
and Foreigners, Protestants and Cathrilies
proscribed. How absurd, therefore, hi
our opponents to cry out “proscriptios,"

Hierarchy intermedling indirectly with

to guard against danger and oppose what
you believe to be wrong.? If so, then we
plead guilty: But are not Popery and

BOUNTY LAND CLAINIB.—There have

37,000 wore filed in March, 75,000 in
April, and 45,000 in May. Thus far the
commissioner of pan stone has only been
able to issue about 30,000 warrants of all

The first movement towards'retnefution
in ICutsas has already been:taken. A Con
vention of the People met on the sth
resolved to repudiate utterly the action of
'ha late Legislature, and to resist every
attempt'to inforce its enactments or laws,
and determine to take no part in the eke
tion for Delegate to Congress. ordered by
that body, but to hold an election on their
own authority. They also nominated
Ex-Governor RIZEDKR as their caudidate,
and he accepted the nomination.
it seems certain, therefore, that the eit
izens of Kansas will refuse obedience to
the laws enacted by the late Legislature ;
—that they will refuse to pay the taxes it
has levied, and will resist forcibly any at
tempt to collect them or to punish offend
ers against their enactments. This will
bring about a direct collision between the
people and the Government—for Gover-
nor SHANNON has declared his determina
tion to enforce obedience to those loon ;
and there is every reason to 'apprehend
a civil war, in Kansas, as the result
of the conflict. Nothing can now
prevent, it but but the abject submission
of the people to the usurpation of their
rights, or the abandonment by the Usur
pers of their high-handed scheme's. Of
the latter we have no hope, and of, the for
mer but little fear. . .
This is a fearful issue--and the guilt
anti shame of it will rest, in a large degree,
on President Presets. He had the lawful
control of the Territory. He could have

atrocious robberies of civil . rights. .

The Washington brings the long.promised
news of the fall of Sebastopol, whiob took
place on the Bth instant, after three days' bom
bardment and six repulset—one repulse before
the Malakoff and five before the Redan. The
slaughter was terrific, especially In the French
repulses,
'l'he French had fifteen thousand 'killed and
wounded, and the English 'about the same
ninnber, making a total of 30,000.
The Russians evacuated the town after bloir
ing up their defences, and sinking all their
ships, and firing the town, leaving nothing but
smouldering ruins.
Five French Generals were killed, including
Gen. Bosqnet.
A large allied force was marching towards
the coast to intercept the retreat. of the Rut
sians inland„with immense material of war.
It is, reported that the allied Generals have
orders to demand an unconditional surrender
of all Russian troops and atom, including
Odessa.

THE PALL OF SEBASTOPOL.
The only accounts received of the Hill of Se
bastopol are the telegraphic despatches to goy- -
eminent trout the commanding offices. Get
eral Sinipsori telegraphs,..under data of Sept. 9:
"Sebastopol is in the hands of the alike.
The enemy evacuated the south side after et
pleding the. magazines and setting fire to the
town. '
,A dispatch to ahe Piencth Minister. of War
says
"Kanibelnai. and the south part of Seituite
pol, DO longer exist. The enemy perceiving
our solid occupation, evacuated after blowing
up nearly all the defences. The chief honors
of the day are due to Generals Bouvet and
Mallo' Ver.!'
PLAN OP TUN BATTLE.
The phut of the tiattle appears to hare been
as follows: The place was attacked in four
directions. The British troops attempted the
storming. of the Redan; thooFreneh attacked
the Malakoff; the extreme right of the french
wade a diversion on the little Redact,. and a
united attack of the English. French and Sar
dinians was made on the Central battery. 411
the attacks were made simultaneously with
great spirit and energy ; but one which was
eminently successful was led by General Bou
quet and General McMahon on the Malakoff.
Both the Redan and Central Bastion. were at
times in the bands of the storming parties. So
accurately did• the guns of the Russians cover
these that as soon as the English had gained
possession of them it was found impossible to
hold them.
RUMORS IN REGARD TO THE RUM
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times of Saturday says it is reported that 0.-
000 troops had embarked at Balaklam for tha
north of Sebastopol, who report that the Rue-
Wane there wine in full retreat towards Perekop.
The Paris papers are discussing the question
whether Sebastopol is tenable by the allies
while the Russians ate masters of the forts on
the north side fronting the sea. F .
A despatch from Dantzio of the 14th says
that the Baltic ships of the allies are expectid
to be ordered home Immediately. •
It was rumored in the London clubs that the
allies round 1,200 guns in Sebastopol. Also
that the Russians were falling back on Batch..
aerie, but the French minors say that the Ras
elms certainly would hold the north side of
Sebastopol to the last extremity. Also that
the admirals of the allied fleets had decided
that it was not expedient to enter the hither
of Sebastopol until Fort Constantine should
be silenced. • Probably the allies will attack
this fort froth FOrt Alexander and Aftillity
Bay.
ranseu, Sept. 9th.--The assault upon the'
Malakoff tower was made yesterday noon, sad
later on the great Redan and Central Bandon.
A gale from the north kept the ahips at anchor;
nod the mortar boats, to be enabled to fire,
were obliged to enter Sireleteka Hay. They,
fired six hundred shells against the Quarantine
Ilitation end Fort Stready. Six English mor
tar, boats also anchored in Streletske Bay end
fired about the same number of shells.
Last night violent explosions and vast con.
fiagrations made us suppose that the Malaise*
were evacuating the town. Today we aseez
milled that the Russian vessels had !mensal*.
The bridge, too, was covered with 'mope Ye
treating to the north side, and after eight o'-
clock thebridge was destroyed.
Only efew steamers remain in port, midair
ed near Fort Catharine, and the Quarantine,
Battery is evactuated and blown up. Oar
solaiers left their trenches and spread them
selves in isolated .groups on the ramping of
the town, which appears to he completely
abandoned.
