TO THE EDITION or TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
Sir-In my letter to Archbishop hughes copy
Of which I'D herewith, and request that YOU viii
give it place in the H0ad you will pc receive that
fdesire to be informed on what authority he made
certain statements in his Liverpool dinner speech,
especially the allegation that when the people Of
the United States met to form government, (for
that, suppose, is what be means by the Words s.to
set up housekeeping for the mselves,,') they dis
cussed the subject Of religion; and because they
could not agree on any one religion that should be
Predomin ant, they agreed that all should be free.
requested An answer, and said IL one should not be
received In two weeks, would co asider his silence
an admission that he had no foundation for those
statements No reply has been received; and the
object Of the Archbishop in not giving private
answer, may be to draw me inconsiderately before
the public, that he may thereby ind occasion to
come out in the same way with all his authorities,
and thus demolish nae at once for my presumption.
Observe, do not affirm, in my letter. that he had
no grounds for his statements / only say know of
none, and desire to be informed; and that, if he
does not afford the information, it will be- taken
confe'se by him that he has none to give. wish
to afford him an opportunity 70 reply, aud 'we

Saviour has not conferred it in the one case
any more than in the other. If it is not in
