The National Era in commenting on the posi-
ton of Bishop Hughes and his organ, the Free
mans Journal, in denouncing the people of Eu,
rope in their struggles for sef-governmcnt, uses
the following language:
Since we have amongst us, enemies of the
People, of Popular Movements, of the cause OF
Revolutions, of the rights so so,cmnly asserted
in our Declaration of independence It is well
that they should reveal themselves The Ameri-
can People will begin to inquire-was it true
love of Liberty that impelled these Catholic edi-
tors and prelates TO sympathse with oppressed
Ireland? In their love for Papal and Russian
Despotism, in their warefare against the Roman
and Hungarian People, do they represent fairly
the sentiments of American Catholics If so
can there be any harmony between Faith which
nurtures such sentiments, and the Democracy
which is the cornerstone of this Republic {?
For one, we shall not easily believe the Catho-
lies in this country IRE blind 10 the principles
of free Institutions; such skeptics in the funda-
mental principles of Civil Liberty proclaimed by
the Revolutionists of 1916, so recreant to their
faith, as citizens of a Democratic Republic, as to
take sides against any People, whether protes-
tant or Catholic, ih their struggles for sef-gov-
eminent, or in favor of any Despot, whether
it be Plus or Nicholas, who may claim divine
right TO rule the People against their will.

understand that we do not endorse those contain
ed in the communication which will be found in

we might here say, that the column which for
several weeks has appeared under this head, has
been not our selection but that of friend, who
is the author of the communication in question.
We are of the class who have full confidence in
the efficacy forsal7ation, of good works; and for
ourself, would desire no better passport to happi-
ness than life of good works would furnish.
:" By their fruits shall We know them" Works
are the fruit of the mind. where the fruit is
good the mind is good. The better the fruit the
better the mind and the better the mind the nea-
its approach to the characteristics Of divinity
and consequently the more elevated and perfect
its happiness or heaven. Heaven is the outbirth
of the mind, and depends on the mind for its cha
racter The heaven of God IS perfect Because
he is perfect in all his attributes and the nearer
we approach to him IN the perfection Of our at
tributes, the nearer viii our heaven correspond
with his. This approach will be manifest by our
works, which are our fruits. As to an abstract
faith, it is very good thing for theologians to
quarrel about, but it puzzles us to comprehend
how a mans faith can be wrong whose Works
are right A good mind Which gives birth to
good works cannot we'll give birth to bad faith
for the same fountain does not send forth both

Such is our creed but as we are not disposed
to claim it as infallible, we are willing to allow

If any of our readers are at loss to distinguish
an abolitionist they will find the following from
Brown of the Wisconsin Democrat, useful:
"His (Bfown's) eftibodyment (of an abolition
ist) is narrow faced, prying, meddesome fellow
like Sholes or Booth, with Just sufficient shrewd-
ness to keep out of the penitentiary---a bigot in
religion, a tyrant in his family, and mischief
maker in community"
Those acquainted with the subjects, will per-
ceive that brother Brown hes been singularly
felicitous in his illustrations. Sholes and Booth
are both remarkably bigoted In religion SO much
so as to have had, not unfrequently the term 'in-
fidelj' applied to them in their families, as every
body knows both are perfect Bluebeards and
as to making mischief In community didn't
