Card Of Bishop spnIding.


FeiloW-etizens: In the Louisville Journal Of this
morning find the following passage: "We are
not now prepared TO say that they assaults com
mitted by foreigners) were instigated by
direct instructions of men with fendish hearts
who control in great measure the passions and
are able to dictate actions to the German and
Irish, who made these attacks"
lf-as some have understood it--this passage
was meant to refer to the Catholic Bishop and
Priests of this city, beg respectfully, but most
distinctly and earnestly TO deny the truth of the
injurious insnuation conveyed by this language
have myself been, until the last day or two,
confined to my room for two weeks by illness,
and have the most positive information that
none of the Catholic clergy of this city have had
any agency, direct indirect, in bringing about
the recent lamentable outrages, which no one
deplores more than we do. Our voice has been
uniformly for peace. We have not even in any
way nterfered in the late election, being over
whelmed with laborious duties in different
sphere altogether. / venture also to appeal to
the sense of justice and fairness manifested for
so many years by the editor Of the Journal and to
ask him to correct this impression SO injurious to
us, If such was the meaning Of the passage
which 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 violence, to remain quietly at
home or attending to their business, to keep away
from all excited assemblies, and if they think
they have been injured to return good for evil,
and to pray for those who have wronged them.
appeal to them and to the world whether this
has not been always the tenor of my instructions
to them, both public and private, and also that of
all the Catholic clergy.
have too high an opinion of my felow-citi-
zens of every class to believe for a moment that
the threats which have been made by some will
be carried out. entreat all to pause and reflect,
to commit violence which they would regret
in their cooler moments, to believe no idle ru-
mors, and to cultivate that peace and love which
are the characteristics of the religion of Christ. 4
We are to remain on earth but few years. let
us not add to the necessary ills Of life those more
awful ones of civil feuds and bloody strife
M. J. SpALDING
Louisville, August Z, 1855
The Journal publishes this card accompanying
it with the following remarks:
We publish with pleasure Bishop Spadng s
card to the public. We have not, in aught we
have written, intended to make any imputation
upon him. We have not for one moment sus-
pected him Of instigating men TO riot and blood
shed. We have felt grateful to him for the SER
vices he rendered upwards Of year ago in allay-
ing public excitement to the extent of his nfu-
ence, when our own property was thought to be
in danger from mob, and we have never thought
him otherwise than the friend of law and order

Gavazzl.-Itis announced that this well known
expriesl intends returning TO the United States in
September, and will leave probably in November.
In The lime intervening between these two
months he will resume his course of lectures
against the church of Rome; popular subject,
nowadays with politicians, who, we presume,
have not got more piety than is necessary TO fac-
tate them on their Journey beaven-ward!
When Gavazzi was in this city, about two years
ago, we we're among his auditors, but cannot say
we were particularly edited; as Were capable
Of conprehending, owing TO his broken English,
not more than half he said; and were not admirers
OF his peculiar style Of oratory; il being of the
monthing, grimacing, stamp-foot, saving the-ar-
with'the-arms, low loud sentence and then
low one, subsding to whisper, kind of elocution.
There could not have been more than thirty, or
perhaps forty persons, present on that occasion,
some of whom applauded the Italian, as, at the
end of a sentence, occasionally, he strutted on the
stage, gracefully wrapping around himself his
cross adorned velvet robe.
The city authorities, experimenting row,
ordered out all the day and night police forces,
who promptly repaired TO Carusis saloon, ready
spirit; but be il spoken 10 the credit of our city,
there was no demonstration Of that kind whatso
ever; in fact we have already stated, there
were mol more than thirty, perhaps forty, persons
present, and among them recognised some
with big sticks--ihe emblems of their constabulary
anthority--n other words, the officers, TO preserve
the public peace, which was not in the least
danger Of being disturbed
