ter all, not so much wonder in the case.
For, SO far as | remember, the leading
paper Of the Methodist denomination, to
which he belongs, and under whose auspi-
ses ne goes out as missionary, did not
rebuke his diabolicaI and murderous
transactions at the time they were publish
ed to the world. And no merited censure
went forth from the christian public gener-
ally. The church, with limited excep-
tons, now stands accountable Cor the enor-
nifty, just as it does for southern slavery.

up the blood y hands of wholesale muir

for another like enterprise under like Cir

A few days since, we were shown some
articles of silk manufactured at Newport,

They We're Handkerchief, Vestings and
Levantine. The Hankerchiefs We're made

we import fromthe Eas. Indies-but were
much heavier and frmef, and consequent.

ing been eaten through by the caterpillar
or moth from which the eggs are produc-
ed and thatthe spinning and weaving was
performed on the common domestic wheel
and loom.
The other articles were manufactured
from silk reeled from perfect cecoons, and
in appearance would vie with any of the
imported articles of the same kind, bat
having twice or thrice the weight and du.
rabiIity of imported articles, and still they
could be afforded for prices bot little above
the foreign articles. The appearance of
the handkerchiefs, though manufactured
from an imperfect silk, would compare
with any imported article it was intended
to initiate.
From the examination of these speti-
mems we have come to the conclusion, that
the period is not remote when we shall be
independent Of foreigners for at least such
articles ofsilks, as are necessary. Instead
of the light, himsey and gossamer-hke
stufs with which we are supplied by
France, and Of laying away 90 or so
; millions revenue, we shall have the sub
stantial, durable articles of our own pro-
) duction.
1t is the importation ofthis article, more
than any other which has produced our

France to the amount of 80 or 35 millions

From the Madisonian.1

ANOTHER CASE OF ARREST & IMPRIs-
oNMENr.-The following is handed to
US fer publication, as a copy of a letter
communicated to the Secretary of State.
We have no knowledge of the character
of the author of the letter, but are inform
ed by him that he had seen the Bishopo of
Detriot in Rome and vouched for the truth
and soberness of his address to the Gov
eminent. We are not fully aware of the
extent of the power of the Pope over those
who acknowledge their allegiance to him,
but we had supposed his SUPREMACY was
only spiritual, and did not profess to ex-
tend to temporal matters, or to the lives
and liberties of American citizens. We
know not to what conditions Bishop REESE
may have subscribed as the price of his
liberty, but as an American citizen, claim
ing the protection of this Government, he
is entitled to it, unless he has been guilty
of some crime against the laws where he
is imprisoned.
To the Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary
Of State:
Sir,-I hasten to- make known to the
Government of the United States of Amerl-
ca a fact of serious character. and high
Iy interesting TO the national dignity Of the
| country.
The Bishop of Detroit, Michigan, Mr..
REESE, an American citizen, is confined In
a dungeon at Rome, without communlca-
ton with any living person,and consequent
| ly without the knowledge of the Ameri-
! for
the blacklist caIumies, and victim of the
most atrocious prosecutions from his col
leagues here In religious matters, he was
summoned to Rome towards the end oi
1888, if am not mistaken; and in 1889
when | made his acquaintance, he wa:
confined in convent under an eccleslas
tic prosecution.
On the process being completed, he wa
ordered to resign. This he refused to do
, and then he was thrown into dungeon
, perhaps of the Inquisition, where othe
, Bishops are lying. There he is over
wheImed with suferings, and tortured tt
obIige him to reign, and all possible mea
sures were taken to prevent him from in
: Voking the protection Of the diplomatic
, agents of his own country. A simha
s case had happened to the Bishop of Pail
: adelphia, Mr.. Conwell. But this prelate
S whilst in the same position of Mr.. REESE
was fortunate enough to make his escap
e from Rome; and, arrested in Paris, unde
Y Charles x, by the order of the Pope, wa
!, set at liberty through the intervention @
: the American Minister.
= Thinking that the Government OF til
United States are to look upon their cit
n zens under no religious aspect, but mere
n ly as free citizens OF this Union, l eoul
$ scarcely believe but that, in consequence
of this disclosure, ready and eff1caelou
