TO THE PUBLIC.


FELLow-CTTIzENs I'm the Louisville journal Of

rect Instructions of men with fendfsh hearts, who
control in great measure the passions, who are
able to dictate action to the Germans and Irish.who
made these attacks
If as some have understood it-this passage
meant to refer the Catholic bishop and priests of
this city, beg respectfully, bat most distinctly and
earnestly to deny the truth of the injurious insinu-
alton conveyed by its language. have myself been,
until the last day two, confined to my room for
two weeks by Illness, and l have the most positive
information that none of the Catholic clergy of this
city have had any agency, direct or indirect, in
bringing about the recent lamentable outrages,
which one depiores more than do. Our voice
has been uniformly for peace. We have not
in any yinterred in the late election being
whelmed with laberious duties in adffsrent sphere
altogether. venture also to appeal to the sense of
justice and fairness manifested for many years by
the editor of the Journal and to ask him to correct
this impression injurious to US, if such was the
meaning of the passage, which l would be loath to
believe.
To all whom the influence of my voice can in any
way reach, beg to say that entreat them, in the
name of Jesus Christ, the God of Peace, to abstain
from all voience to remain quietly at home or at
tending to their business, to keep away from all

N1xoN's HorEL.-The advertisement of Mr. Nixon
was kunavodably crowded out of our last ISSUE
which is our apology for again noticing this old and
excellent establishment: The advertisement tells
Mr. Nixon's story far as the House is concerned
and it but remains for Us now to say word for Mr.
N. himself
Mr.. Nixon is known extensively in this State being
a member of one of the most enterprising families
whiting its borders Nor is he by any means the
least enterprising among them. We have known
him some ten or twelve years having often met him
in Wilmington, his late residence and have seen,
in that town, the monuments of his pntirng indus
try and commeadable enterprise. In that town, so
far as we could judge he was populafto afaut Kind,
courteous, and philanthropc, his society was court
ed By all, and to all, with whom he associated, he
was an object of esteem, confidence, and sincere
friendship. He has transferred himself and
his enterprise to beloved and thriving town. and
has bceome'one of us-in Goldsboro'. His influence
cannot but be felt for good. AS gentleman his
homer is unsullied friend, his attachments
sincere and ardent, member of society, man
is better calculated, by his wit and anecdote" to
drive dull care away" As Landlord. of whose
duties by the bye, he is by no means ignorant, we
hope he will be successful.

We have not for moment suspected him of insti-

grateful to him for the services he rendered upwards
of year ago in alaying public excitement; to the
extent of his influence, when our own property was
thought to be in danger. from mob, and we have
