FOR THE MADISONIAN.

Ma. Editor: Icannot forbear expressing, thus pub
licly, my grateful Acknowledgements to Mrs. SAMUEL
Butler for the intellectual banquet on which !, in
common with her delighted audience, on Wednes-
day evening last, at the Apollo Hail. richly RECALLED.
Nor can refrain from urging upon all those, whose
engagements or avocations denied them the enjoy
ment Of that occasion, to be and benefit them
selves by the very merit that may offer.
Mrs Butler exhibits, in mental expression of coun
tenance symmetry Of person, grace of action, dignity
Of carriage and melody and perfection Of delivery,
combination of all those rase and fascinating at-
butes the possession of any single one of which has
often secured an individuals fame.
Most ample justice has Mrs. Butler done to that
great Master ofthe Histronic Art, CHARLES KEMBLE,
whose pupil understand she was and whose off
spring-even the gifted FANNY BuTLER-has not ex-
celed, in contemporary reflection of those thousand
lights of poetry and eloqucnce, which they both i'm
bbed at the same refulgent
understand that the talented consort Of this nte-
resting woman, Professor Butler, leading Tragedan
of the land of Shakespeare, now on tour in the
South, is expected in Washington at an early
day, an advent devouty to be wished by all advo-
Gates here of the unpouted Drama and ofthe Classic
Buskin. How admirably must he be supported, in all
the loading characters he ably personates, by his
accomplished lady

A LETTER FROM BISHOP HUGHES.
To the Editor of the NJ Y. Courier and Enqairer

To the Editor Of the ". T. Courier and Enqairer.
Dear Sir.-Fnding myself indirectly alluded to in
your remarks of yesterday morning, beg leave to
trouble you with the following observations, which
request you will do the favor to insert for the in
formation of all whom the question may concern.
You say Gan adopted citizen will find below an
address sent to this country by Daniel O'Connell,
Father Matthew and sixty thousand Others and if he
Bishops and Priests of New York and Boston,"
AS one of the parties here referred to-, take the
liberty of assuring you that have means of udg-
ing of the authenticity of the Address, except such
has been afforded to all the readers of your excellent
journal, by its publication My first and decided i'm
preston is that it appears it is not authentic In
this opinion shall persevere until its authentic history
shall have been made known. How it has been pro-
cured-under what crcumstance-how much of the
truth may be published in connection with the ad-
dress-how much of the explanation may be suppress
ed-are questions, the answer to which must be fur
nished before can make up my mind to believe in
its authenticity.
Should it prove to be authentic, then have no hes
itation in declaring my opinion that it is the duty of
every naturazed Irishman to reject and repudiate
the address with indignation Not precisely because
of the doctrines which it contans-but because of
their having emanated from foreign source, and Of
their tendency to operate on questions of domestic
and national policy. am friend to slavery But
am still less friendly to any attempt of foreign origin,
to abolish it.
The duties of naturalized Irshmcn, or others, |
conceive to be in wise distinct or different from
those of native born Americans. And if it be proved
that an attempt has been made by this address, or
any other address, to single them out on any question
appertaning to the foreign domestic policy of
these United States in any other capacity than that
which is common to the whole population, then
think it will be their duty to their country and their
conscience, to rebuke such an attempt, come from
what foreign source it may, in the most decided
manner and language that common courtesy will au-
thorze.
The reference made to me, among others, in your
remarks, appeared to me to require this explanation
without which your readers might suppose that
had means to determine the authenticity OF the ad-
dress.
am, sir, with great respect, your obt seryt

which dictated the celebrated reply Laissez
nous faire--Let us alone A good soil and
climate, freedom and law enough to restrain
crime and RIGHTEOUSNESS, are the main requl-
sites of national prosperity, with which any
people could get on, at least not badly, without
any capacious mind and vigorous will to devise
and execute magnificent projects for drawing
out and stimulating their energies and resources,
at some risk, however small, of giving them
wrong direction, and with the certainty in free
country of giving them disputed direction,
which, if obstinately and violently insisted on,
would lend strength and fury to party spirit, and
keep the national policy perpetually huctuatng'
Our country is now distracted between two
great and powerful parties, at war with each
other in all their plans, views, and sentiments,
each holding ultra, violent and dramatically OPP
posite notions-the one disposed to create too
much, and the other to destroy too much-each
determined at all events to destroy,f possible, the
creations of the other The of either party,
unless its victory were complete, final and over
whelming, its ascendancy absolute and despotlc,
which could hardly be while shadow Of tree
government remained-would leave the coun-
try exposed to continual turmoil and agitation
the one party being determined to enforce, and
the other to resist and battle schemes of govern
ment and national economy. The present con-
dition of the country is an example of the ten
dency of such party discussions. The creation
ola third party, consisting of the moderate, nu-
merous enough to control the others, is under
ordinary circumstances hopeless and impractical
BILE; for party excitement at length pervades the
whole community, and brings all within its frene-
tic influence. foreign war, or some sudden
and dire national calamity is necessary to arouse
dormant feelings of patriotism, to bring men to
their senses, and arrest the career of the nation
through party dissensions and anarchy, to despo-
tism. But dispensation Of Providence in our
case has spared US this The finger of the
Most High may be viewed in the apparent ca
lamity which has thrown the Administration of
the Government peaceably and quietly into the
hands of men of moderate views, not committed
to the ultra notions or feelings of either party,
and disposed TO no excuses or wild experiments,
The whole nation has thus time to rehect-per-
haps alast chance. The task of this Admnistra-
ton is certainly most arduous and ungrateful one
exposed to the assaults of both parties, and
guiding the vessel of State between Scylla and
Charybdis. But ii, pursuing wise and mode
rate course, it be not finally upheld by a large
majority of the People, it will be because party
spirit has taken such deep root in the land as to
leave hardly hope of the perpetuity of our fret
institutions.

of the Government, without fear, favor or aftec-
ton, and, in doing so, have demanded for IT, at
the hands OF the country, fair and impartial trIai
and we shall continue to do so. Sustained by
no partisan organization, and aided by no party
discipline, the Administration has thrown itself
upon the nation for support, and only asks
full and candid hearing, willing to abide the Is
sue, be II approval or condemnation. II, IN
comparing its promptness and singleness OF pur-
pose with the procrastinatlng and rulnous course
pursued in another branch of the public service,
differences should be drawn and opinions formed
disadvantageous to the latter, the fault is not
with us or the friends of the Administration at
large, but must attach to the authors OF the mis-
chiefs of which we complain
Let persons say what they will of US and our
journal, they shall not be enabled to say, with
justice, that we want truthfuIness and patriot
scrutiny on this head, we fearlessly demand
strict investigation into whatever we may say
or have said, and if we be found Intentionally
delinquent, in either the one or the other, we
hope sincerely that conviction will be brought
home to US. We now ask, whether any thing
has ever been stated or inference drawn by
the Madisonian, with reference to the National
Legislature, not fairly sustained by the facts in
the case. On this we are willing to stand or
fall, and whilst we repel, as unworthy Of US, the
imputation of wishing, unnecessarily, to bring
Congress into disrespect or dis epute, will only
,lo bor hao
careful of its fair fame and high standing, as
we have been and shall continue to be.
1t must not be inferred from what we have
said, in regard to public measures, that in our
opinion, all of the Representatives Of the Peo-
pie are alike obnoxious to censure, or that the
People will fail to discriminate between those
who governed by petty influences, and
those who are actuated by the highest purposes
and warmest zeal for the good of their country
We are perfectly aware that the legislative
service possesses many, very many ornaments
to the nation, in point of ability, integrity and
patriotism, and if they will permit us to do so,
we would call upon them, by all that is sacred
to freemen and patriots, to step forth in aid of
the oppressed and abused People. The Admi-
nistration asks at their hands nothing more than
candid hearing and fair discussion of its mea-
sures. Whatever may be their individual SEN
liments, we feel authorized to say, that the Pre-
| sident and his advisers are alone DESTROYS tC

CONGRESS-.

In the House, on Monday, Mr.. Barnard, from
the Committee on the Judiciary, asked leave to
report a bill amending the act OF 1910 for regu-
lating the return of jurors for the United States
courts in the State OF Pennsylvania. The bill
was read twice, and, on the motion for engross-
ment, Mr.. Irwin, of Pennsylvania, expressed
wish that its further consideration should be de-
ferred till next day. A call was made tor the
orders of the day, but Mr. c. J. Ingerso moved
suspension of the rules, that the bill might be
disposed of at once The motion prevailed.
Mr.. Irwin raised point of order, but ne was
overruled by the Chair, and the bill passed.
The orders of the day being the reception OF
petitions, beginning at Ohio, none Of particular
importance were presented until those from
Tennessee were pronounced to be in order Mr..
Johnson presented petitions from that State,
praying the repeal Of the Bankrupt law. He
moved their reference to the Judiciary Commit
tee, with instructions to report forthwith bill
suspending the operation of the law till the 4th
of March, 1843. Mr.. Chittenden moved to lay
the petitions and Instructions on the table. On
this motion the yeas and nays were ordered, and
80 voted in the affirmative and SO in the mega
tive. The previous question having been ask
ed by Mr.. Johnson, on his motion the vote was
taken on the call, and decided in the negative.
A petition presented by Mr.. Arnold, purport-
ing to come from certain citizens Of Virginia,
and praying that Messrs. Wise, Marshall, and
Adams, should be censured for their course in
the case of the Haverhill memorial, produced
some delay. The question of reception was
raised, and laid on the table. The regular busi-
ness then went onward.
Mr.. Choate addressed the Senate yesterday,
in favor of the Tariff resolutions of Mr. Clay.
