N. Orleans and Baton Rouge
Railroad.

s.1,ss~a oOauu sliaS VIC people are
becoming impatient for the opening Of
the books for subscription to the
above named railroad. Now that a
most liberal Charter has been obtain
ed from the legislature, to enable a
company to connect the commercial
metropolis with the capital of the
State by railroad, it believes every
good citizen to bester himself, and see
that the many advantages that must
result to our beautiful little city, from
said connection-be not lost for want
of action. Let the commissioners come
together at an early day, and appoint
suitable persons to open the books at
once. Let there be books opened at
New Orleans, on the coast and in this
city under the superintendent of ac-
tive, energetic, business men, and our
word for it there will be stock enough
subscribed to commence the work, in
less than thirty days.

Intend to be short. Ny object in

must here express my surprise that
you should have the "hardihood TO

Judicial to the Republic" . calumny
as stale as it is base.
I have seen published letters OF
Arch Bishops and Bishops, Catholic

TO different Legislatures, and | have
yet to see that Catholics claim for them
selves what they deny to others. TO
say that mo particular sect has here
tofore had Partially or preference over
another" is both to talk nonsense and
betray profound ignorance. When
we take up, for example. Good
rich's History Of England, or Peter
Parley's Universal History, and in
fact a great number Of school books
from the Primer to Mental Philosophy
and see such calumnies as have poin'
ted out above, we see how idle it il
to talk about partially or ''prefer'
ence." =
Catholics perceiving the disadvan
tages under which they labored, have
asked that each parent shall have the
right to educate his own child, and
that he draw q pro rata division, &C
cording to the number ofchildren claim
ing instruction, of the tax levied fol
educational purposes. Here the Cath
Ole, the Protestant, the Jew, the In
fdel, all have the same prirelege. iii
be not a right, to choose his owl
teacher, and educate his own child
Then the inalienble right Of conscience
guaranteed by every Constitution il
not in.erfered with.
