 beg leave to complain, throegh your widely eir. eaiated paper, Of the injustice doue by the Hon. Horace Greeley. cr his ageut. by whom asa repre- pEeseased as directing collection to be taken Ha ih the Caihohc churches ia ths Diocese ter the relief and support of Plus K ia AtsPFsset saggis agslaa tas Roman Reps5Iie. The words marked in italics are Mf. tsFeeiey's own. The Idea which they ex- press has not entered into my mind. The eollee- ton is for the relief and support ol the Pope Here the sentence closes; but the editor of the Tribune. without either authority foundation, alleges that Il Is to support the Pope in his P'ssent struggle against the Roman Republic.
 Mir. Greeley has heretofore prolessed goed will towards his Catholic fellow -eitiIens, with what sim eerty tue unwarrahiAble issHe implied by his in- agIRary contest between the Pope and the Roman Republic, sufficiently indicates. The collection to be made ,n all the churches oi the Unted States oa nex Sunday, IS simply to relieve the present wants ot the Supreme Bishop of the Catholic people. Ii PiGs TX had been tyTani, or had been opposed ta the progress Of rational liberty and social ameliora- ton, tie Catholics Ot ths country al least, would not have sympashfzed so deeply n the msiorlunes brought apon him by his own goodness and the ia- gratitude of the very people whose condition he so cheeTiuiiy undertook to improve.
 In the early period of his government the voices oi Catholics we're drowned in ihe universal shout ol appreciation from liberal of every creed and of every country. Even Mir. GseeIey himself aeknowl- edged II as an honor 10 have drawn up the address 10 Plus K which went forth tsotn fhls cify repre- senting, as far as might be. the sentiments with which the entire American people rrgaried the newly elected PohtG Neither was the editor of the Tribune sPafng of those courteous phrases to- ward ms Holiness, such as venerable Father" !" which maIked the amiable beneyOlence of the writer's character, whilst to the uainitiated they sounded strange enough from the lips of Pfotes- tsnt and ot Republican. Indeed, il l mistake not he was censured by some portion ol the press for using such language towards the " Man of Sin" But enthusiasm ruled the hour at the Tabernacle, and while MT. Greeley read the address it sounded m the ears ol the enrsptned multitude like the voice oi the nightingale proceeding from inc throat ol the dove-so liberal. so gentle, so benevolent, were the strains of that memorable address.
 Plus K is the same man now That he was then: nor is it probable that in reality Mr. Greeley has undergone any change. Yet tbe very men from whose hands Plus K removed the letters of im- pIsonment, and who have maj ilested their era,- tude by plotting against his position, ir not his life have become Mir. GTFeiey's heroes and lavories. They wield the stietto, and sacrifice by assassina- ton the human victims who are to prupitiate the godiess of young liberty in Italy. For these aroel ties Mr Greeley has no language of horror or ciatloh. Tevo1ion has indeed taken place. but
 there is no evidence that 1t is the work of the Ro man people; whilst it IS certain that 10 great ex tent those who have taken pat in it, are strangers to Rome, who found other parts of Italy and of con hnental Europe unwilling to receive or retain them They have succeeded in expeliing the government "nien had given them hospitality. They have es- iaoiished, according to what regard as the tr,,est accounts, reign of terror over the Roman people, which they call d government. They have broken and burned the carriages of the Cardinals as if that We're heroIsm. They have plundered the churches they have extofled money from the people-they have almost IegaIzed assassination, wherever their authority prevailed. And this is the phaanx reeog nized by Mir. Greeley as the Roman Republic. let no ambassador from foreign countries has re- oognized such Republic, except il be the female Plenipotentlary who furnishes the Tribane with diplomatic correspondence.
 In conclusion, beg leave to assure NIT. Greeley that the Pope and the Cardinals and Secretaries who have To attend 10 the various matters of a church spread throughout the world. are, like other nseii under the necessity of having something eat and something wherewith to be clothed. And that for these purposes the Catholics of this country mean
 to lay their offerings, with profound venefation, al the feet of his Holiness Plus K.
