The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1844-05-27

Bishop Hughes and his recent letter--and that OPT
Mon is very much to his disadvantage. We coulc
multiply extracts on extracts-but take the follow
ing as sample from the Richmond Star of MAJ
23:-
MonE Fuss-MoRE NEWSPAPER Waffle Catholic
Bishop Hughes and Bennett of the Herald at hot
gcrheads In New York. caused Immediately by a letteI
published by the Bishop in the Courier and Enaurer
the late riots in which he berates Bennett numerically
but the quarrel only an old breaking afresh
Bennett has sent out his preparatory notice Of reply in
which he proposes use the Bishop. thoroughly
we believe he will do it, Never there more crazy
and goaded by the blood and fury of the riots
at such moment when every effort should be made
is opened. by Of the religious oflicers ia person
which must necessarily inhame the public mind almost
to madness, perhaps to riot again. Bishop Hughes may
feel his act to be of duty but every good citizen will
lament that he did not consult worldly wisdom little
more, before he acted. We fear the consequence
You may "iear," but You need not--the only
consequence is an explosion OF ridicue at the folly
and arrogance OF the Bishop. The whole business
Is settled--the school question is settled-and the
Bishop is settled by the last sly letter of Mayor
Harper, demanding the name of the assassin, &c.
The great mass of naturalized Irish citizens are use
ful and quiet men, if they were only let alone by
these lncendary demagogues. Many of them when
they come here think they are still in Ireland and
continue TO agtate here as they do there, although
there is no cause nor reason. They should mix in
with the great American people as the drops Of
water mix with the Atlantic.
CANADA GETTING INTO TROUBLE AGAIN-We
have not the slightest doubt, Judging from the
tone OF the newspapers and political movements
there, that in less than three years, Canada will
again be on the verge OF another revolution
The question which at present employs all the
powers OF controversy in that region, is what they
call " responsible government is to say the
Governors cabinet must be responsible TO the
House of Assembly, as the Queens cabinet is to
the House of Commons-hence the cabinet is to
control the governor This is denied by Sir
Charles Metcalfe, who contends that his cabinet is
to obey, not to dictate
This is the technical point Of controversy on the
top OF things-but at bottom it is the old contest
between democracy and aristocracy, and such it
will show itself in time. The present form of gov
eminent In Canada. modelled after that OF England,
cannot stand before the example and influence of
such a powerful republic as the United States
Every year only increases the democracy of Cana
da, and weakens the aristocracy, such as it is, a
sort of Goldfish quality to be sure. The first blow
in Canada will make it republic, and nothing can
prevent such lapse in process Of time. If the
United States existed side by side with France
and England, the latter nations would be republics
in twenty years The establishment of steam lines
has brought the two countries thus together, and in
consequence terrible revolution in western Eu-
rope has been accelerated half a century.
The English aristocracy and their adherents talk
of dividing this country, through the question Of
slavery-vain hope They had better look at
Il, ,1,
ton than we are of disunion.
UNDAY.-Probably 10000 persons left the city
yesterday in the various steamboats,, railroad cars,
carriages, &c. to spend day in the country. 1t
was delicious day and cool towards night-wih
refreshing shower and a few comfortable flashes
Of lightning. Bloomingdac was very blooming
and Nowiand's elegant and picturesque place on
Prospect Hill breathed as fresh and raCy as Para
disc.

phical look-' why is Bennett like one of my ra-

THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.-The three principal

been doing toleraby well last week. At the Park,

At the Chatham, Burton, Conner, and Miss Rey-
nolds have been filling the house every night, with

shilling Shaksperian characters, and drawn tre-
