The Catholics and MIR. CLAY.


Thursday the following letter from the faculty
of the Catholic University of Notre Dame, at
South Bend, Indiana addressed TO the Hon.
Henry Clay. 1t is a beautiful tribute to the
talents and patriotism of that distinguished
gentleman; and wo think may be regarded
as strong indication that Catholic population
Of the United States are in favor of compromis-
ing, on principles honorable and just to all
sections of the Union, the present unhappy
sectional controversy which distracts the coun-
try:

Hon. SIR: The President and faculty oi
the Catholic Institution, all unknown to you
as they are, cannot resist the impulses created
by the recent reading of your great compro-
mise speech, in the college refectory, to ad-
dress you brief letter Of thanks for Mei,
share m that rich treat Protesting creed
widely different from your own, and which is
generally. though falsely, supposed to be Anti
American, and hostile to civil liberty, they vel
partake with you in all those just, wise and
moderate views which you advance in the
noble document referred to, and in all thai
patriotic and trembling solicitudc for the con
tinuance and perpetuity of this glorious Uniur
which you so laudably manifest. II would be
dissimulation in those who address you tc
affirm aught else than that they seek ediica
ton aud glory of the kingdom of their master
Christ, before all other earthly considerations
but besides this reigning aim and desire, they
know no greater love and affection than what
they bear towards the constitution and feder
| al government of these States. With the in
tegrity, stability. and unchecked progress o
this land of religious liberty, they see identi
fed the highest interests of the church o
Jesus Christ. and the highest hopes of human
ity; and greatly as they venerate your exalted
patriotism, evinced not only now in this pain
full crisis. but also througha long and illustri
Gus life of unselfsh and unrequired devotion
to your country they viii not yield TO you il
alarm they feel in view of the dangers now
threatening the Union, or in earnest and con
tinuous supplicatians to the God of Nations
that He will be pleased, for his Chureh's sake
to avert from us those imminent perils which
now menace us.
While yon are assailed by the violent and
insane of both sections of the Union, We
thought it might be agreeable to YOU to know
that in secluded religious house, whose in
mates have their citizenship and conversation
in Heaven, who commune more with the
past than the present, and whose inyiSi.
bic companions are the noble army of saints
your kindling aratory has warmed and cheered

ST. LOWS, March 81.
There has been an immense Union meeting held
in this city, at which Henry s. Green presided.
Resolutions were passed declaring that the South
has grounds of complaint against the North for not
aiding in the capture Of fugitive slaves, and that
this constitutional provision should be enforced.
The Wilmot proviso is declared TO be inerpcdient
but conflicting interests, the resolutions say should
be harmonized. The Nashville convention, and all
other assemblages like il, only add 10 existing
difficulties. No serious crisis has arrived warrant
ing such conventions. The union Of the States
was formed in spirit Of compromise, and the
same spirit should assist in settling the present diff
hcutics. Messrs. Bath, Ariel, Wright, Thomas,
Henry and others, addressed the meeting.
There IL much trouble here in the Democratic
camp about the municipal nominations and the
Benton and anti Benton tickets. Parties are about
equally divided.

ton, she having assumed to regulate her
own affairs; and, as to all practical results,
1t is immaterial whether Congress estab-
fishes a territorial government for her, or she
is permitted foreman until qualified to ask
for admission into the Union as State.
1t is generally maintained that slavery
IS prohibited there by the laws of Mex
ico, acknowledged to be in force until super
seeded by positive enactmen ts; and hence
the most timid can apprehend no danger
from inaction, thus devolving the whole
responsibility upon the people of the Ter
rtory. 1t is in view of these things,
that we feel confident that the approba-
ton of the great mass Of liberal and mod
crate men of the free States will be award
ed to such of the representatives Of that
section as shall cooperate with other ju-
dicious Legislators in procuring the adop-
ton Of any scheme of compromise that
will adjust this controversy, containing no
recognition Of slavery in any Of the Terri
tories.
The difficulties surrounding this ques-
ton have been greatly increased and ex-
asperated by the indiscretion and violence
Of fanatics in both sections /; and it will
be a matter Of deep graduation if these
difficulties shall be diminished or light
ened by rejecting and patriotic men. If
the sober, thinking masses were left un-
disturbed by demagogues and selfish pre-
tenders TO purity and patriotism if they
were protected from the malign influence
and sinister management of those political
aspirants who seek place and power by
unworthy means alone, there would be a
speedy end to this corroding controversy.
