Archbishop Hughes in Rome.

Itwas recently stated, with great deal of con hdence, that Archbishop Hughes, of New York city, was to be made Cardinal for this continent The New York Herald of the goth ult., however, says;
 |" IL appears that when this very important ques- tion with respect 10 advancing Archbishop Hughes came up before the Pope and the Coilsge PTopa- gGnda Fiaei, some of the members of that holy council suggested that the affair as of very grave and serious kind, and that in view of the hostil- tIes which had arisen ln England at the elevation of Cardinal Wlseman, it would 5e proper to in- quire Of some intelligent Americ8n what course ought to be adopted. Upon this suggestion, d pro- position was made to apply to MT. Cass, our Charge al Rome, to what he thought of the necessity of creating this Cardinal for the spiritual welfare of the United States Mr. CasS, being anxious to make such a reply would be satisfactory to those most interested in the welfare political and spiritual, of the people at large, very properly re- plled, that on such question he thought the var- ous highly intelligent bishops on this continent might be consulted to advantage. The college ap- preclaied thiS happy suggestion, and acted upon 1t accordingly. The bishops on both sides of the AlleehaneS were applied to forthwith for their opinions, which, as we learn, are adverse to the election of our fuend the Archbishop, to this nets distinction. They view the matter ia practical light, and believing that it wIll be useless office n the United States, they have just sent out their objections m such shape will decide the qucs ton against the Archbishop, when the subiec; comes up agaln before the sacred college. The documents being on the way, we shall have; after few weeks, the full decision, and the return of Bishop Hughes to his diocese, from which he has been msSed for two CT three months past"

The Nomination.

In relation to our controversy upon this subject. we confess that we are unable to place the editor of the Gazette and Democrat upon any tan gible ground. We have made every disclaimer that the circumstances called for and we ad hoped that our ameade to hm and others would have proved satisfactory, but, submission " is not sufficient, our neighbor asks for further eonccs- Sons from us; we'll we will make 1t thus far, and will try once more to grafy him for the sake othe party in the maintenance of which we are both engaged He misunderStands us, evidently, from one expression he uses. We do not desire to rule or ruin" but feel willing and anxious that crim- nation should cease, and that in the coming Con- gressional election, the Democratic party should present an unbroken front.
 We do not hesitate to say that we felt much pride in the nomination of Col. Johnson, and probably expressed our feelings not entirely in cordance with others of the party who differed with us not as to principles but men, but we discIaim any desire, to wage political war against any portion of the Democratic party. We are therefore willing that "bye gones should be bye gones,' and we again take occasion once more to ask our neghbor if this is sufficient.
