reasonable terms be offered and accepted, we may
have years OF peace before US, during which we may
cultivate the attainment OF those ART, which are Of
the highest benefit TO civilization On the other hand,
if the approaches OF the British negotator continue to
be repealed, and our Government believe that the
mass of the people would sustain them in insisting
upon claiming up TO "a 40, that mighty fact would
lead TO events of the most exciting character far
different from those that would grow out of peace

PROGRESS OF RELIeIoy-DR Plss's LECTURE
We give, In another part of this paper report of
lecture delivered by DR.. Pise IN st. Peters church,
IN this city, on Sunday, the lst instant
As might be expected, it maintains the
greater ssnctity and purity OF the Catholic
sect, In preference to all others into which
Christianity is divided. 1t is one Of a series Of
those learned, antiquarian aud religious discussio
which have marked the course of several distn-
guished ecclesiastcs connected with the Catholic
church In this diocese.
We are pleased always to givs currency to these
temperate and argumentative discusses OF the va
rious sects, Catholic and Protestant. In former
ages, the Christian churches have not only been d.
vlded into various sects and parties but ca ,h party
regarded the other with the most bitter feelings Of
animoslty, which have resulted in irrellgion and
bloodshed In all countries. We trust thar new
dawn Is breaking on this happy republic, and that by
the aid OF the newspaper press the different Christian
sects, Catholic and Protestant, may be permitted to
lnculcate each e.herSdoctrlnes in a temperate and
rational manner, without invading the personal
or political rights OF each other We are happy that
new spirit has recently burst forth in this hems-
phere, and that the committed in the name
OF religion In Boston and Philadelphia have at last
taught men to become more mild and charl-
table towards each other. Thus far, it would ap.
pear that the Catholics have begun this reformation
OF common sense, ahead Of their brethren Of the
Protestant sects; and to no two cergymen has the
community been more indebted for producing this
happy change, than to Drs. Pise and Power, of
this city, both Catholic clergymen. Every sect
OF Christianity has its own peculiar dogmas, the Ca
thoc as well as the Protestant; and in this land of
civil and religious liberty, they may be permitted
to enjoy those dogmas as they choose, without in
curing the hatred and of opposing sects
who go to heaven by different road, and patronise
an opposition line
The Catholics are steadily increasing in this coun-
try This is owing to their superior tactics and re-
turning good sense, and trust that all sects into
which Christianity is divided will adopt the same
course; and that from this day forward, all religious
acrlmony will cease, and then in truth we may say
the millennium has just commenced
