CArHoucrrY-The difficulty mentioned the
other day as existing between the Catholic Bishop OF
this diocese and the Rev. Mr. Levins, is not yet set
tied nor likely soon be- I'm nediately on the arr
val of the requison directed by the Propaganda to
Bishop Dubois, for restoring Mr.. Levins to his func-
tons pcndente lite the latter wrote the former res
pectfu letter, calling his attention to the order, and
demanding restoration to tho ministry. To this
Bishop Dubois made no reply. Instead thereof he
despached mission TO Rome for the express pur-
nose of restoring matters TO their former condition,
and thus continuing the interdict on Mr.. Levns.
What nonsense there is in all this If we were Mr..
Leyins, we would raise the banner of reform, and
start an opposition to the Catholic church ITSELF The
immense body of intelligent Catholics in this coun-
try will not long continue to have any spiritual con-
necton with the Romsh See. Why should they .
American Catholiciy should stand on its own me-
rits, authority, laws and institutions. The IMPOSE
tons of Rome ought TO be brushed away forever.
This ridiculous conduct of Bishop Dubois springs
from the mposture of longer continuing any connec-
ton with the Church Of Rome. The liturgy the
language the ceremonies, the music, md NIL the Pc
cular worship of the Catholic Church. might be con-
tinued. They are founded in antiquity, and possess
much taste. But the authority of Rome ought TO be
broken to pieces.

talent, to shake the Catholic church TO its centre,
