Massachusetts having commenced the

object is accomplished, The President of
the United States, in his late proclama

opportunity. One tenth of the people of
any seceded State, are to be allowed to

prescribed in the proclamation. In per

the 18:h ultimo, a convention assembled
in New Orleans, composed of Northern
adventurers—probably from Massachu

which was to bring Louisiana back into

convention were participated in by
Americans of African descent. One of
them presided over its deliberations. This

DEATH OE ARCHBISHOP HUGHES
The distinguished Catholic Archbishop
of New York breathed his last at 74
o'clock on Sunday evening; the Herald
gives the following account of his last
momenta :
From eleven to one o'clock yesterday
afternoon no great change was noticed in
his condition. He remained in a feeble
state, unable scarcely to lift his hand, or
utter a word louder than a whisper, and
that with the utmost. difficulty. In the
forenoon his attendants succeeded in mak•
ing him swallow a little nourishment in
the shape of soup, and some of his more
hopeful friends supposed that there was
a chance of his holding out a few days
longer.
About one o'clock yesterday afternoon
he became unconscious, and lay in that
condition with slight intervals of reason,
until half past seven o'clock last night,
when he breathed his last. He was sur
rounded at that solemn moment by Bish
op MCCLOSKY, of Albany : Bishop Mc
Ltronus, of Brooklyn ; Rev. Dr. NEL
LIOAN. Very Rev Father STAINS, Very'
Rev. FRANCIS MCNIERN, Secretary of the
Archbishop, Mother ANGELICA, Snppor
ters of St. Vincents' Hospital, and Mrs.
RODGERS, both sisters of the Archbishop :
Drs. JAMES R. HOOD and A LONYO CLARK,
besides numbers of clergymen and inti
mete privet) friends.
About two hours before his death, he
was seized with a series of gentle spams,
or gentle twitching. Father STARRIs
stood by his bedside reading prayers for
his happy death. All prosntjoined in the
solemn ceremony. At a late hour, Bish
op McCLossv recited tho prayers for de•
parting spirits, and, while the voices of
all present were repeating, in broken no
cents, the words of response, the soul of
the illustrious Archbishop quitted its
earthly tenement. He died without the
silghtest evidence of pain, peaceful, calm
and collected. His two sisters stood by
his bedside at the awful moment, and one
of them, Mother ANGELICA, who had been
for many years a Sister of Charity, per
formed the melancholy office of closing
his eyes.
The following sketch of this distinguish
ed prelate is taken from APPLETON' S new
Cyclopedia :

taste for such pursuits, he devoted his

.JANUARY 6, 1864.
RADICAL UNION LEAGUES
The Radicals of Massachisetts, last
summer inaugurated what they styled
Radical Union Leagues, the object of
which was and is the total eradication of
slavery in the United States. These so
cieties are spreading, not only in Massa•
chnsetts and New England, but through.
out the northern states. So formidable
have they become as to boast thein ability
to carry the next Presidential election.
The oath required to be taken by initiates
into this select councel is as follows:
"I. A— B—, do solemnly swear,
(or affirm,) in the presence of these wit
nesses, that I have never voluntarily borne
arms against the United States since I
have been a citizen thereof; that I will
support, protect, and defend the Consti
tution and Government of the United
States, and the flag thereof. against all
enemies, foreign and domestic; that 1 will
bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
and that I will also defend this State
against any invasion, insurrection, or re
hellion, to the extent of my ability. This
I freely pledge without mental reservation
evasion. Furthermore, that I will do
all in my power to elect true and reliable
Union men and supporters of the Govern•
ment, and none others, to all offices of
profit or trust, from the lowest to the high
est, in ward, town, county, State, and
General Government. And should I ever
be called to fill any office. I will
faithfully carry out the objects and
principles of this League. And, farther,
that I will protect, aid, and defend all
worthy members of the Union League.
And further, I will never make known in
any way or manner, to any person or per
sons, not members of the Union League,
any of the signs, passwords, proceed
logs, debates, or plans of this or any
other Council under this organization,
except when engaged in addmitting new
members into this League. And with my
hand upon the Holy Bible, Declaration
of Independence,
and Constitution of the
United States of America, under the seal
of my sacred honor, I acknowledge my
self firmly bound and pledged to the
faithful performance of this my solemn
obligation: So help me God."
This oath having been taken "with
clasped and uplifted hands," all repeat
the "freeman's pledge," as follows:
'•To defend and perpetuate Freedom '
and the Union, I pledge my life, my for
tone, and my sacred honor. So help roe
God."
engagement expired, entered the theolog
ical seminary of Mount St. Mary's Em
mitteburg, Md., where he remained for
several years, being employed almost from
the first as a teacher. He was ordained
priest in Philadelphia in 1826, and was
settled in a ; arish in that city. In 1830
he accepted a challenge from the Rev.
JoHN BaacNisalooE, to discuss the quee•
tion : '•ls tie Protestant religion the re•
ligion of Christ I''
The controversy was carried on in the
newspapers for several months, and at
tracted so much attention that the articles
were subsequently collected in a volume,
which bad for a time a wide circulation.
In 18.34 Mr. Baectieeinoe renewed the
encounter by proposing an oral discussion
on the question : "Is the Catholic religion,
in any or in all its principles and doctrines
inimical to civil or religious liberty?" Mr.
HUGHES immediately came forward ae the
champion of his creed, and the debate,
which was published:in book form in 1836,
was regarded with great interest by the
public of both parties In 1832 Mr.
HUGHES founded St. JOHN'S Church, in
Philadelphia, and was its rector as long ae
he remained in that city. In 1837, Bish
op Dcsols, of New York, having demand
ed, on account of age and infirmity, some
relief from the cares of the episcopate, the
Holy See appointed Mr. Realms coadju
tor. He was consecrated is New York,
January 9, 1838, and about two weeks
afterwards Bishop Deems was attacked by
paralysis, from which he never wholly re
covered. In the following year the Pope
appointed Bishop Hnotits administrator
of the diocese.
In 1839, Bishop Hueaes visited France,
Austria, and Italy, to obtain pecuniary
aid for hie dioce e. On his return he ap
plied himself with great energy to the
cause of Catholic education. Already
during the previous year he had parches.
ed properly at Fordham, in Westchester
county, for the purp.se of establishing a
college. Ile now completed its organiza
tion, and it was opened in 1841, under
the name of St. John's College. The die
pate on the school question about this
nine brought the Bihop more prominent
ly before the public. It was charged by
Catholics that the common schools were
sectarian in character, and they complain
ed of the injustice of taxing them for the
support of schools to which they could
not conscientiously send their children.
Public meetings were held, and an asso
ciation was formed for obtaining relief.
It was demanded either that the taxes
should be removed, or that a change
shoula be made in the system of educe.
non. '1 he Catholics petitioned the Com
mon Council, in September, 1840, to des
ignate seven Catholic schools as "entitled
to participate in the common school fund,
upon complying with the requirements of
the law." Remonstrances to this peti.
nun were sent in by the Public School
Society, and the pastors of the Meth•
odiet Episcopal Church, and on Oc
tober za.h, both parties appeared before
the Common Council. The Public
School Society ems represented by coun•
eel, Messrs. 'I nE,DORE Sknowicii and HI
R i m fit:'. Jirm, cud, on subsequent even
lugs, addresses were made by the Rev.
lire. Bohn, HANG., Reese, lisoa, and
Seam,. Bishop Htoec answered them
in an elaborate epeech, but the petition
was rejected. The Catholics now carried
the twitter before the Legislature. A bill
the.r lever hating passed the Assembly,
was lest in the senate, and in the ensuing
election the school question mist:mid a
striking promineuce in the political can
vex,. Cathelms, by the advice of the
Bishop, nominated an independent ticket,
and the ic-dUlt of the election showed them
to he no etrung that same modification of
th e existing school system was soon of
leered. hroughout this exciting contro
verey, Btehop Hteinee was the animating
spirit et his party, and was called on at
times to defend himself through the press
against the personal attacks of his oppo
neut.. Ile wee solicited by President
Poi 6. to accept a special mission to telex
no, but declined. In 1847, at the request
of both Houses of Congress, he delivered
a lecture in the hall of leepreeentatives at
Waslatigien. on "Chilstienity, the Only
•urce of Moral. Hermit, and Political
Regeneration.' In 1830, New York was
raised to the dignity r f an Archiepiseo
pal tee, and Archbishop HrcaEs went
to Howe to receive the palliate at the
hai.da of the Pete. The firet Provincial
Council of New 1 ork was heid in lefel,
eand attended by seven suffragans, the
'raw bishopricks of Brooklyn and Newark
having hien created the preceding year.
Soon after its close the Archbiehop made
another visit to Rome, in order to be
present at the definition of the dogma of
the immaculate conception. On his re
turn he was involved in a controversy
with the Hon. EilAaTt .9 BRCOEB editor of
he New York 'F.kpress, and member of
the •••Lial.., Senate, growing cut of the
church property question. At the peti
tion of the trustees of St. Louis' Church,
Buffalo, a bill, which subsequently be
came a law had been introduced into the
Legislature designed to vest the titles to
all church property in trnsteee. In sup
porting thle measure Mr. ileoites stated
that Archbishop H roues owned property
in the City of New York to the amount of
about $5,00e.000. The Archbishop at
once came forward to attack both Mr.
Bitoo en and the trustees of St. Louis'
Church, and a long discussion through
the newspapers was the result. The
Archbishop subsequently collected the
I lettere on both sides and published them
in a volume, with au intrcduction re
viewing the trustee system. (New
York, 1855 Besides his controver•
tial works already mentioned, he has pub.
fished a number of lectures and pamphlets.

The Road toßiehmond.
Seventeen months ago, when Gen. Mc-
Clellan was ordered to leave Harrison's
Landing and the Peninsula, he wrote the
following letter to Gen. HaHeck. Every
thing that has occurred in these seventeen
months must be regarded as showing the
correcqiess of McClellan's declaration that
the road to Richmond was by way of the
Peninsula and the James river :
BERKLEY, ( VA.) AUGUST 4-12 M.
~oj• Gen. Halleck, Commander in.
Chic :—Your telegram of last evening is
received. 1 must confess it caused me the
greatest pain I ever experienced, for I am
convinced that the order to withdraw this
army to Agnia creek will prove disastrous
in the extreme to our cause. I fear it will
be a fatal blow. Several days are neces
sary to complete the preparations for so
importmat a movement as this, and while
they are in progress, I beg that careful
consideration may be given to my state
ment.
This army is now in excellent discipline
and condition. We hold a debouche on
both banks of the James river, so that we
are free to act in any direction, and, with
the assistance of the gunboats, I consider
our communication as secure. We are
twenty five miles from Richmond, and are
not likely to meet the enemy in force suf
ficient to fight a battle until we.have reach
ed fifteen to eighteen miles, which brings
us practically within ten miles of Rich
mond. Our largest line of land transpor
tation would be from this point twenty five
miles, but by the aid of the gunboats we
can supply the army by water during its
advance, certainly to within twelve miles
of Richmond. At Aquia creek we would
be seventy five nailed from Richmond,
with land transportation all the way. From
here to Fortress Monroe is a march of
seventy miles, for I regard it as impracti
cable to withdraw this army and its mate
rial except by land. The result of the
movement would thus be to march one
hundred and forty-five miles to reach a
point now only twenty five miles distant,
and to deprive ourselves entirely of the
powerful aid of the gunboats and water
transportation. Add to this the certain
demoralization of this army which would
ensue, the terribly depressing effect upon
the people of the North, and the strong',
probability that it would influence foreign
Powers to recognise our adversaries; and
these appear to me sufficient reasons TO
make it my imperative duty to urge, in the
strongest terms afforded by our language,
that this order be rescinded, and that, far
from re( all::.g this army, it may be
prorutly reinforced, to enable it to resume
the offensive.
It may be saill that there are ao reinforces.
I merits available. I point to Gen. Burn
i
side's forces, to those of Gen. Pope, not
1 necessary to maintain a strict defence in
front of Washington and Harper's Ferry ;
to those portions of the army of the West
' not required for a strict defence there
Here, directly in front of this army, it
tho heart of the rebellion. It is here that
all our resources should be canto cd to
strike the blow which will determine the
fate of this nation. All points of socond•
ary importance elsewhere should be aban.
Boned, and every available man brought
here. A decided victory here and the
military etr.mgth of the rebellion is crush
ed. It matters not what partial revere
we may meet with elsewhere ; here is the
true defence of Washington ; it is hi re nn
the banks of the James River that the fate
of the Union should be decided.
Clear in my conviction of right, stroll ) :
in the consciousness that I have ever
been and still am actuated solely by loci
of my country, knowing that no ambitious
nr selfish motives have influenced rut
from the commencement el this war, I do
now what I never did in my life befor-., 1
entreat that this order may be reacmdel
If my counsel does not prevail, I will
with sad heart obey your order to the u.
most of my power, devoting to the move
went, one of the utmost delicacy and diai•
calty, whatever skill I may possess: at,ci
may God grant that I am mistaken .ii my
forebodings. I shall at least have the
internal satisfaction that I have writtnr,
and spoken frankly, and have sought to
Jo the best in my power to arrest disaster
from my country.
Geo. B. lifcei ELLIN, Maj. Gen
Administering the Constitution.
Mr. Madison said that the difference be
tween Hamilton and Jefferson consisted
in this- that the former sought to ratnirt/
ietration the Constitution into what hi
thought it ought to have been, and the
atter sought to administer it as it was *m
ended by its framers, and understood by
he states which ratified it. Such is the
exact difference, after seventy five years,
between the Republican and the Demo
cretin party. History repeats itself in po
litical as it does in all other respects. No
man familiar with the history of his Gov
ernment can fail to discover the analogies
between that political theory which came
near producing a civil war and that which
has produced a civil war. The difference
is dueprimarily to the poverty of the
United States in 1790, its recent expe
rience of war, and the infinitely smaller
interests affected; but, secondarily and
principally, to the spirit of self sacrifice of
the great Democratic leader, and the
patriotism which made aim willing to en
dure a wrong for the sake of the Union.
Oar readers may possibly have forgotten
or neglected to note the occurrence to
which we allude. The Eastern States at
that time owned the largest share of the
state claims for expenses incurred during
the war for independence. They sought
the assumption of those debts by the
United States. In other words, they pro.
posed that other states should be taxed
for their special benefit.
Such an assumption was clearly not
constitutional. Congress had as mach
delegated right to pay the debt of Massa.
chusetts as to pay the debt of Great
Britain. The project was defeated in
the House by a small majority.
So high were the feuds excited on the
subject that on its rejection business was
suspended; Congress met and adjourned
from day to day witnont doing anything.
The eastern members threatened secession
and dissolution. Hamilton, in despair,
appealed to Jefferson. That great man
used his influence, and procured the
change of some votes from Virginia add
saved the Union. The location of the seat
of Government on the Potomac was used
as the reason of the change. This was the
first of the great series of compromises,
in all of which the Eastern States always
made the exchange of Diomedes, giving an
old suit of iron armor and receiving one '
of gold.
It is perhaps not a little remarkable that
neither Hamilton nor Jefferson seemed to
have had the notion that the threats of
dissolution and secession should be met
by an announcement of coercion. That
the physical power to coerce was not in
the hands of the government may pos.
sibly be the reason the idea never present
ed itself to their minds. Statesmen are
always practical; they deal with materials
as they are, and never fall into the foolish
notion of rhetor imans like Sumner, that ycn
can:act with human passion and prejudicfs
as the Flathead Indians do with their
papooses.
This administration, from the Presi
dent to its humblest official, fl-om the
senator to the scribe, through every ram
ificittion of impolicy, is saturated with
the—ifdea that the Constitution of the
United States is a piece of dough or a
band of india-rubber; that it can be mould
ed, stretched, shortened, flattened, fash
ioned to the purposes of assumed philan
thropy, of assured stook-brokering, of
enriching individuals, of impoverishing
individuals, of damming ,one channel of
trade, of opening another; of regulating
interest on money and moral sentiments,
of creating banks, of destroying banks,
of Belding political opinions, of expound-
iog law, and of constrr.ctingstitutions.
To it the decisions of that courtexpress
ly crested to define and protec!, rights are
nothing, the laws of trade are nothig,
the laws which govern the human mi n nd
are nothing, the laws which control mot.•
ale are nothing. It has used the Consti
tution, "like a woman of the town plying
her vocation."
