FIFTH LETTER.
Most ReUe end Sir promised in my
last letter, 10 be more practical on the |
subject of religious Interference with the |
question Of African slavery, Il is within |
my immediate knowledge that the head f
the Catho!i; Church took the subject into
deep consideration, but i'll q diferteut
point of that in which l now submit it,
Bishop ENGLAND, Of the Diocese of Chare-. |
ton was intrusted with the reclamation Of
the Island of St. Domingo-an Land,
which had once bee tho oughly enlighten-
ed by the truths Of The Gospel. For three
successive mission did he exert the utmost
of his power, and that power no one is
more fully advised of than yourself and
what was the result! He retired Fl m the
contest, hopeless Of any result, and left the
field open TO any other agent whom his
Holiness might obtain to prosecute the Oh
;ects. BshCp RosATI a Frenchman, and
/ therefore supposed bett fitted 10 the task,
was next SEN, and you are fully advi-ed of
his failure; the {lamitas, under sevtudc t.
| the Japhetian, would not listen to him on
| the subject Of be supernatural providence
| OF God to he human family. 1t is conf
d-ntIy believed that the distinguished
French Bishop died of exhaustion occa-
stoned by his mission. | am credibly in
formed that the Pope of Rome has made
10 further attempts to impress upon the
Hamlte of ST Domingo, beiefi his Noa-
tic fraternity with .Shem and ia Ghet, but
has actually left him alone in his, naked
ness. The sams Inability will soon extend
the rest of the West India Islands, and it
| will be through the annexation Of cuba TO
tue States of the American Conlederacy,
which will alone sustain the Japhe-
tism i'll the serVitude Of the Ianite, that
we can hope for the pre- servation of the
| Christian religion among, the vast tribe Of
Africans who are now engaged upon It's
soil. Unless the head of the Catholic
Church shall take the V ew that we do oil
this important subject, what shall prevent
ar intestine commotio'l in Spain, like tha
recently experienced in rance, from lber
ating the Hamite from servitude on tina
noble island thereby esiroying his hope
Of Christian enlightrneIlt through the in
strumentality Of his No attic brothers The
same state of things e:iist on the part 0
the Church, with the. entire country o
African, Should tae recent discoveries Oh
that continent prove true and the soil D
opened to Japhesic cultivation, then am
D only then, will the l1amitie have his civil
cation secured to him; for them will h
? be made subject to his brothers employ

i this subject have proved the efforts of thnse

IS dation to civiize Africa, Far short Of tn
l. truth, has been their re aiding of prophes!
u which, as long as tho rainbow shall spa
