NEW YORK, MAwcll 22.

The " ss hoei question," with which the working
of the national system of education in Ireland has
nntesppily made you all so familiar, is beginning to
Mile a good deal of trouble here. " Religious in- I
Amnon," se far as Bible-reading, the repetition of
the Ten Commandments, the Lord's l'rayer, and the
singing or t hsnting of a psalm or hymn, is part of the
ahem tourer in the public schools in this as well
as in the New &viand States. Up to the present
time the r r.: lieu of Irish catholic have attended
Sad taken heart in all the exercises without objee-
non or reciurstrince ; but of late year, they have
bets getti.rg sufficiently w.merous to enable them to
offer oppoietion to the protestant programme. In 1
this city "hey have mansged to exclude the reading
ef toe scriptures by electing their own candidates
at the committee of some of the districts ; but is
Boston they have adopted the bolder course eti
ordering their children to refuse to chant the
esestnandun eta and the prayers is some of the
schools when directed to do so by the teachers.
In comet Sena of this stand, two or three hundred
children nese limn expelled, awl the parents are en-
'enraged sit:i sustained in their resistance by the
priest/. h one case corporal punishment was very
'melanin thy resorted to to compel a boy to join in
chanting the commandments in opposition to his
father's a N WWI order,. He finally auccumiod amen
the tort u e, and obeyed the teacher, but the etas bas
been broullit before the police courts by the parents,
and has c riled a good deal of excitement. Most
people w4O take a calm and dispassionate view ett,
the matte.. cud are more anxious tor the diffusion off
keowledgo amongst the muses than fur the enessam
of a/elan& teaching, deprecate in strong teems the
course of tor sch en authorities in foreleg apes the

Co whiee. they have conscientious o feeders
of a reegiou nature. The truth is, that
these squabble. are but the beginning of •
conflict, which all who know the catholic clergy
know very well will arise sooner or later for the con-
trol of the retools, or at least for the control of the
taxes, ct a portion of them, that are devoted to
school pie poses, and anything which hastens it, or
which weseens the moral position of the protestant.
in entering upon it, is undoubtedly to be deplored.
Rumours as to " the coining man" for the peed-
dency are of course rife, and, in fact, supply mate-
rials for all the political gossip of the day. Seward
seems to he still the favourite of the republicans, and
I have litt e doubt will receive the nomination. The
experience of the last fifteen or twenty years has
convinced everybody that the man is of far greater
importance than his creed, and that a far better esti-
muss can be formed beforehand of the probable
coarse to be pursued by his administration, by an
exansinat ten of his own antecedents and character,
than by the "platform" he adopts. Judged
by this criterion, no one stands better than
Seward. Ile has, through twenty-five years
of public life, been the steady and leerier
champion of an unpopular cause, and he has every
year, in teyeeches and state papers, given abundant
evidence of the possession of the highest order of
talent. Ile is going to England this summer, and I
believe his friends are extremely desirous that he
should mike a long visit, so as not to turn up again
on this side of the water until very shortly before
the elect vn The popular nerves, as "the cam-
paign ' d-ows Lear, are generally in a highly sensi-
tive state. h. ;try tiling which a pom ible candidate says
or does is canvassed with the utmost minuteness, and
the suneirst indiscretion of language may seriously
deluge a tonn's prospects. Seward is not a person
to disgui•r his sentiments, or modify their utterance,
when the ocm.sion calls for them, and therefore his
great salty. and in fact
nay one's in his position, on
the eve of rue strug;le lies in silence. So when you
get him hoer in England the republican party will
feel greet'y obliged by your keeping him there
u long as possible. When you have him
it miy no: he out of place to say that you have,
perhaps. Lie greatest constitutional lawyer of
America. tier clearest-headed statesman, a powerful
and oboe all a mot logical orator, and of all the
public men of this country perhaps the least of a
demagogue and the most of a gentleman. Perhaps
no man us..ig to-day has discussed questions so vast
and so matnewous with so much grasp and vigour is
Seward. Except the British parliament debating on
India, I ern imagine no Irene more intrinsically
solemn than the United States Senate debating the
question of slivery on this continent; and on that
question no man has spoken more, and none so wisely
and elope fitly as he. I can say all this with the more
readiness, because I know nothing of him except his
public life, and have never heard him open his lips
except to d before &court of law the right of the
sovereign eat. of New York to bridge one of the
largest rise-s in the world, and that river in itsown
territory. Topics of such magnitude as this need a
robust Intellect to discuss them, and Seward rarely
discusses at y other.
