A Movement Truly American.

The Discussion between Archbishop
Hughes and Senator Brooks, has brought
to light tho fact that a strong desire pre-
sails among the Catholics Of New York
to break of their allegiance from Rome
and establish an independent Church in
this country. In fact, ii is impossible
that the Church, subject to a pc wer alb.
road, which can confer TILES. divide our
country GU, into provinces, Withdraw

these United States amids, the ligh, OF
free discussion. The following we quote
from the Express, as evidence OF the ten
dency Of the public mind:
To The Editor Of The ~. 7. Express:
am requested to call your attention
to your calling John Hughes Archbishop
Of New York. That is not the fact, for
he was not elected by the ministry or
the laity of this city. but he was appoint
ed to that Office by the Pope Of Rome,
and is in fact The Pope's Archbishop in
the diocese of New York, and nothing
else.
And ! am requested to state as a fact,
the Laity and a number of The Priests
are anxious that some leading D
would call a meeting of the intelligent
and Independent, lai,y to organize a mum.
her Of independent Catholic Churches in
this city, who shall and will W and
m aintain IN their own Church. and call
permanently a priest at their own charge,
who shall. if he so will, "marry," and
tina: the whole service of the Church
shall be performed ia the English langu-
age, and that members of the Church
shall be allowed the Bible 10 their fami
lies, and such other improvements in the
worship as this enlightened age demands.
This is requested by a priest. and "a mum.
Der OF them Stand ready, as soon as con.
gregatioas are organized, to accept the
calls and ill the offices when demanded.
He states also, that full two thirds OF
priests OF this city are ready TO revolt
from under the tyranny of John Hughes
but dare not until the Independent. laily
Begins. Such Mr.. Brooks is the sling
that John Hughes cannot stand; for this
is the weak point Of the Church. You
have no idea of the amount of good you
will do in advocating and defending this
actual revolt, which is now rife and
ready. am, respectfully yours.
II will be -ecollected tina, a Catholic
correspondent Of the Creole, las, summe:

New Orleans. We have on all occasions
advocated the rights Of the Lai,y Of the
Church, no. only to the full enjoy men.

freedom which eharacterizes the rslig-
ious world in this land Of civil and re.
ligious freedom.

HORSE PRovENDER.-The best horse
provender, says the Maine Farmer, tAat
we ever used, was a mixture Of iwo.
thirds oas meal and one.third corn meal.
The oat meal has been thought by some
physiological chemists to contain much
muscle or flesh forming matter, and the
corn meal to contain much IA. forming
material; and therefore, when combined
together. we get both principles combin.
ed. Our experience with this feed cor.
roborates the above theory.
