open in this country ana abroad to Christian Philan
thropiss.
Tie Rev. Mr.. James made torcible address, in
which be stated that the time had at length come
when ministers of the Gospel must be either the de-
cided and Oui-spOken friends of Freedom o the advo
Gates of Slavery that ministers OF the Gospel were
adopting the course pursued by Hopkins aud the
Younger Edwards on the subject of American Slavery
that the time past must suice and henceiorward the

THE SMITHSONIAN QUARREL.

To ne Editor of The " y Tyi5ss~
SIR 1t is unnecessary to reply at length to tho
letter of A Friend of Mr.. Jesett,' whicn appeared
in THE TRIBUNE of the 3lst August.
After more than thirty days since my letter was
published this " friend" appears with the most abu-
slye unfnr and INSCRIPTIONS statements, denying
some of the facts had asserted, while the important
matter at issue is left untouched. IL never was at
tempted my part or by any one else, to show that
this Smithsonian controversy was q " scandaOus per-
sonal quarrel between Prof Henry and MIR. jew
" ett," all that was done t0 show conclusively
and beyond all question that Mr. Jewett had mani
tested spirit of nsubOrdnaon and hostility TO the
Secretary and the Board Of Regents which fully usti
fed his removal and rendered his further connection
with the Institution impossible. How could he him
self be willing longer to Associate with men whose
conduct had been 80 dishOnOrabe, Illegal aud un-
" lust as he and his friesds have repeatedly said,
aud what self respect could the Secretary have no
permitted any assistant Of his to retain his situation
While using his time and means and energies to ruin
has character ard force kim TO leave the Institution
This affair is well understood here and why IL that
not n0rd Of yegTe has been expressed by any OF our
city papers at Mr.. Jewett's removal Why are the
lamentaton and Indignation only heard from Boston
The public generally believe, understand this case
Thew need 10 labored efforts to prove that Prof
Henry is man of virtue and integrity, and that he
would not resort 10 any dishonest to carry out
his plans snd especially that such men as Ianey'
Bacfe, Fillmore, Rush, Mason, Pearce, Hswley.
Berren, Dallas, TOtten Maury, would not be guilty
of such a course in the management OF public IN
sutution "A Friend Of Mr.. Jcwett" from - Boston,
and great many such, will be required to overthrow
and brI into contempt the opinions and actions OF
such men. With the public we are content TO leave
the verdict and as TO the bold denias Of your cor
respondent of my former statements, am unable To
see that one of them has been answered success
fully refuted. Truth and Justice undoubtedly
find on the side advocated by REUBEs.

INTEMPERANCE AND THE CLERGY.

To Ms Edtor ~ Ihs " H. IFiD"ne
SIR: bave Just read the excellent remarks in your
lat SEMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE, with reference to tho
nmentable propensity Of the Irsh TO intemperance-
| think with you, that If the clergy OF New-York
would use their efforts 10 eradicate the crying evil, or
in word, ifthey would turn Father Mathews, much
GOOD might be done. The true Catholic cannot gaze
npon the dazzling temples in your City, where bis re-
leion is displayed, without the narrowing thought
ts they are erected for the most part with the money
of rumsellers or blOod-suckers and soul-damners.
Better pleased il Heaven with eweed and elaborate
souls than with the costly cathedral, with widows
tears and mans misery for foundation. The power Of
the clergy for good il everywhere throughout Canada
sirikngIy illustrated. There the bishops and priests
have established temperance, not only by teaching
but by example and the result Canada is freed from
iis crying vice. | thank you, Mr. Greeley, for your
kindness in pressing this matter on the attention Of
our republican Catholics. Continue TO do 80, and
heaven must bless your efforts For my part al
though confirmed member Of the church, am no
less free to condemn evil Of all kinds and in all places
/ sm sure that Mgr. Of NewYork would receive
hundred fold recompense in the eternal mansions ~
well as the love Of all Protestants las he has now

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
REPLY To THE REV. J. MARSH.
E.x,a.~ cfT TA< n " Tr,h.ns


SIR: The Rev. Dr. Marh, in his letter published
in FRIDAYS TRIBUNE, does not reply 10 the com
plaint referred 10 in his opening sentence nor
ustify his attack upon Mr. DelaV an which occasioned
that complaint The case is SIMPLY this; Dr.
Marsh thrtigh his journal, charged upon Mr.. Dela-
van that the latter availed himself Of his position
presiden, of the State Temperance Society in his
openipg address a lis lats annual meeting 70 thrust
upon the public "pestilent heresy, false
"u1sition an absurdity, both false in itself and
in its tendencies. This charge was desiei
in the article 70 which DR. Marsh prOfesses to- but
does rot reply; and that denisl was sustainet by
quotations OF sll that portion of Mr. Delavans al
dress upor wich tho charge could have been predf-
Gated. What Professor Lewis may have said or
written elsewhere, or what Mr.. Delayans op'n,os
may have once been, or now is, upon the question
which Dr.. Marsh unnecessarily, a. Il seems to mel
drags into controversy, has nothing whatever 10 DO
With the matter. II Is simply a question OF fact,
DIR. Marsh affirming that Mr.. DelavSn did certain
thing, on certain occasion; and the record, which
was quoted IN iull, Fr0rtHg that he did net. Now,
DR.. Marsh should not seek 20 escape the odium Of
making a groundless charge, by raising an ent rely
new issue but should either pr0ve his specific accu-
sation or urHtdrdc il. He chooses to do neither
though left opportunity 70 do the latter hon-ably,
on the ground OF misGppreaeHsi0R.
Whether in view of these undeniabe facts, DIR.
Msrsh's attempt 20 excite suspicion Of Mr. Delayan's
temperance orthodoxy was aninvdious attack upon
"a veteran advocate of our cause" or conte nd
"ng for principle. he claims, the public are quite
as compettntto judge forhemseves as am tor them.
