COMPLIMENTARY TO the PUBLdc-BIsHoP HUGHES
AND CHARLES KINe.-Charles King, whose paper
of 800 circulation is saspng for life, day after day
like sturgeon ashore on Coney Island, and who
daily reviIes all those who differ in opinion with
him on tariff, Texas, &c., in the most ibeous and
coarsest language, quotes some of the Five Point
howery eloquence OF Bishop Hughes against us
and says "even So" that it is the I" unprincipled
curiosity" OF the public which has given the
Herald circulation Of 30 900, and host of readers
larger than all the newspapers of New York
put together-and consequently all influence CD
papie OF putting up or putting Down any party
Every man or woman, who, according TO this
organ, wants to see the earliest and best foreign
news, brought by expresses at great expense, is
unprincipIed'-every one who wants to read
correct reports, independent criticisms, or capita
money and market articles, is uuprinciped, u
" unprincipled," >" unprincipled' Thisis certainly
sort OF Sidney Smith compliment to the intelli-
gence and good sense of the people of New York
and the American people, which they ought to APP
preciate by hats off to Charles King, and Bonded
knees to Bishop Hughes If the Ne,o York
Herald is so bad, SO wretched, so mean,
so unprincipled, SO horrible as its rivals re-
present, do they suppose the American public
have so little selrespect good as to patron
lie 1t to the extent they do and have done Tor
ten years !? No such thing. We have created and
called into existence newspaper establishment,
conducted on a system of energy, independence,
intellect, intelligence, and unfinchng principle,
that commands the appreciation of every inelli-
gent and right-thinking man throughout the land.
Our rivals of the press, whose incidence is out
stripped by our activity and genius, only hate, de-
test and revile, because they cannot compete
Bishop Hughes in his recent letters, has only lent
himself to vile intrigue to affect us, but he will
himself be most injured and used up by the attempt.
The independent press throughout the country are
beginning to speak. Here is one out of many, from
the Philadelphia Sun.
BsHop HueHKs' SECOND LErrER.--Bishop Hughes has
addressed second letter to public opinion" through
Mr. Stone, Editor Of the Commercial Advertiser chiefly
reclimnaton OF that gentleman and the Editor OF the
Herald, with whow he affects to suppose himself in
roversy and forced confess that Tor vrue
and malipny of personal attack we never beheld a
writer excel Mr.. Hughes, whose fame for Christian
charity or amiable temper derive addition from
this outrageous tissue OF rbadry and defamation As far
the Bishop thinks himself aggreved by these journals
with which he now wages bis present warfare, we have
concern But as he uses the assault upon them only
as means OF attaining public approbation-we feel
bound to meet his second letter did his firstly
bold and emphatic dennncation of its incompatibty
with American institutions, rights and Liberties. We
meet him in the first place with bold denial Of his right
to interfere in the political citations of this country His
very attitude in this audacious assault upon laws
opinions and our press, is usurpation OF mOnkish
arrogance, that cannot tolerate, without violating
every high and sacred obligation which to
country and our God II, he himself admits, public
opinion has covered him with shame for his presumpu
ons interference in the ballot box, to give force and
direction to an Irish Catholic class vote-he commits
much more aggravated breach and propriey
by attempting to reverse that decree of public opinion
by 1abored and sophstical justification Of his
Gus conduct The Bishop cannot exrcate himself from
his false position by pouring torrent OF rbadry
the headtof Mr. Stone. Whatever his differences with
him Mr. Bennett may be- they have relation to his
offence against American Institutions that sternly in
terdic the mingng of religious power with political
rights so that the force Of the one shall be brought
to subver the other The original offence OF this Bishop
still remains for in place of his error he still
persists in his right to organize and nAame the Catholics
TO consolidate their votes against all who in favor OF
he Bible in the public Schools" In this second letter he
loses sight in great measure Of the original question,
institute comparison Of character between himself and
he Editor of the New York Herald and brings the
umns Of his paper against himself and his as
testimony nvaldating the character and veracity of the
Edhor-thus making himself (Bshop Hughes3 the stan.
tard OF morals virtue TRUTH and orthodoxy According
TO the Bishop is p,tno fdca evidence OF Rad character
to say one syllable in dsparagement of himself and the
Pope Here il the logic OF iniability with vengeance
Every who dissents from Mr. Hughes and the Pope
outlaw This the logic of emissary of of
he absolute crowned heads of Europe introduced into
American politics. in order to open for the power
If the Pope the destnies Of this great Republic The
who dare question his right thus to NEEDLE with
,ined Irish Catholic vote and hus the hunders of his
-ibhrdry against them as infamous immoral, vile and
,aumniOus"
On this subject Col Stone comes out to-day.
After he shall have given his dose to the Bishop,
then we shall close up the concern and give the
finale.
