CATHOLICISM AND SLAVERY. = The Catholic
Telegraph cloims that, while six hundred and
fifty thousand five hundred and sixty three
slaves are owned by the various Protestant sects,
not Catholic bishop or priest in the country
owns a single slave. On the other hand, the
Presbyterian Of the West affirms that slaves are
held in several instances by Catholic religious
societies at the South, which are under the con-
troll of the clergy; and that slaveholding is as
common among the Roman Catholic laity, in
proportion to their number, as among Protes-
tants.
