We court no controversy with our catholic
friends. We glory in that feature Of our Consttu-
ton which gives to all the right to worship God &C

Their would we willfully misrepresent any of their
doctrines or ceremonies. We consider the animal
versions which follow, as far as we are implicated

the subject 1.-THE story, related about the French
woman's preference to be married before the Virgin
rather than St Adelaide, appeared originally in our
paper. This was not the case. We gave our au-
thority in full sextract from the Missouri Re-
publican,s Correspondent now in France.'' thirst
appeared in the Missouri Republican. The editors
seem to have want of confidence in the truthful
ness of their correspondents statements. Ihey
have expressed none. Neither have any oil the pa
pers in 81 Louis, that we have seen. We presume
the correspondent is well known in that city, and
numerous the Catholics are in that place, we
should Think if they viewed the matter in the same
light as does our .Subscriber,'' they would have
called the editors OF the Republican to account
for it. We extracted the article account OF its
interesting character and supposing that II spoke
truly of the customs Of Paris. This was our only
motive "If subscribcr'thinks it of sufficient mo-
ment, he has his remedy by calling the originator
Of the story to account. In personal interview
with the acknowledged writer ofthe following COM
munic alton, he expressed himself as il he consid
cred us, as Editor, accountable for any misstatc-
mcnts contained in the extract. Now we throw
off all such accountability, by giving him the author
and whatever damage he claims for his church, he
must look to the correspondent OF the Rupublican
| for its payment, and not to us.
l To the Editor Of the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
SIR,-Permit Inc TO inform you, that in
reviewing your paper few days ago.
was not little surprisedto find in its col
cumns an extract, SO notorious for its er.
roneous statements, and mischievous de.
signs, as to strike the attention Of the most
hasty observer. Likewise, IFS author.
sffectation, Of the burlcsque and satirica
style, is not less remarkable and his Gu
rious transitions from the imaginary te
the plastic, evidently prove he is neither
genuine nor scrupulous; and betray :
character not less disgraceful TO his rea
admirers, than to himself.
therefore consider this article, in NJ
respect, worthy of publication in any pa
per, for the reasons, that its barbarisms il
mingling English and French and phrases
render it ridiculous; that every Catholic
knows its whole contents to be untrue
that il embodies incidents and assertions
which | can prove to be false; and in my
proof, can BIZ corroborated by many Of m,
fellow citizens, who have emigrated her
lately, from every part of France unan
imously bearing testimony, that no sucl
incidents or practices were ever seen o
heard Of, in any Catholic Church in al
France. In reading over the article il
! question from one feigned insinuaiion I
another, preceive its author approves o
the hypocrites of old, because they coul'
: be easily known when they tasted
; Whereas Christ disapproves of them Mat
thew C. 6, y. l6, II, Is. And whe
you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad
Tor they dis6gure their faces, that the
Y may appear unto men TO fast. Amen l sa
a 10 you, they have received their reware
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint th
head, and wash thy face: That thou az
, pear not to men 10 fast, but TO thy Fathe

c stelh in secret, will repay thee.
AT length, he proposes his appare,
; objections, which being SO simple and Of
,iou. to the yeriest tyro in history or the
ology, prove he neither knows what ii
Church is, or what is essential to thos
who become her prelates, and members

In fine, Mr. Editor, if you continue
