GENTLEMEN: In my recent letters have began
to say something OF Religious affairs. This was
unavoidable both on account Of the Importance
which Religion already possesses and which it
will continue TO possess in the European move
ment l have already shown how the three qaes-
tions-questons merely Of form. OF mech anisn, OF
xpediency-namely, Universal Suffrage in the Po-
litical order, Absolute Liberty Of Speech and the
Press in the Moral order, aRd Absolute Liberty OF
Trade, by the abolition Of Tariff, have proved barren
and empty, and in fact completely used up in prac-
tice and acknowledged 10 be insufficient This state
ofthiDgs necessarily brings on the fundamental qaes-
tion that is TO say, the Reorganization Of Europe
according to a general system Of doctrine, in the
spiritual as well as in the temporal order. Since a
general system OF doctrine is involved all the great
religious and political problems connected with the
essential characteristic question OF the new era
the question Of Industrial and Intellectual Labor
are directly presented before tbs people, and mast
he discussed for themselves and in themselves. 10
was in this point Of view, that felt myself called
on TO touch the religious question, and 70 give you
some EuropcaR intelligence relating to the subject
Bnt "a the question il one Of extreme delcacy as in
a hastily written correspondence I can only give
YOU a few incomplete sketches, and in this Sc
rious and substantial country Of England every
word that ia said on these matters, 10 taken into
consideration, mistakes and errors must be avoided
at all hazards. / beg leave. then, to correct two
typographical errors which crept into my letter Of
April 90.
In speaking Of the question Of education, you
make me say, This great V0Lta'riaH instrunaent
was adopted by the YesEits, this is trsnsposi-
ton Of words which is at the same time ranspo-
,i.ion Of the thought. 1t is no. today for the first
time. that education ia made the principal instru-
roept of action BY the Jesuis. What Is new In
the matter is to see toe idea OF an education en-
trey secular and laicsl ard in ell respects divorced
from religion, put forward BY the Panshests as
mean. Of secretly undermining the foundations Of
Christian education, whether Catholic, or Jesuit
Anglican or Dissenting. ] wished then to say
This great Jesuitieoi instrument was adopted by
the y0ltdirlaHs" And, in fact it 10 the Deists Of
the school Of VoItaire and at most, Of Rousseau,
who here propagate the idea of national education
The JesGits have been accused of using crooked
paths to attain their eDds. said that SIR. Fox,
and the other promoters Of the movement Gr "a
tioDsl education, pursued Ia fact the same coarse,
Ia the advancement Of their ideas, as that Of the
Jesuiis IN the interests Of Catholic ProPagandsm.
