To the most Rev, Archbishop Hu1he,.

To the most Reu. Archbishop Hughes:
MosT REV. SIR:-Our Episcopal See has
been for some time without head, and in
this event it has been my practice to refer
to you all those questions whrh relate to the
general interests of our great r public
My last communication touched the right to
hold slaves as an abstract question, and was
addressed to you just before the last assem-
blage of the General Convention of the
Bishops of the United States. The Con-
venlion, without dissenting voice, deter
mined that it was perfect rght-that the
rendition of Oneslmus was an exemplifica-
ton of the right and that the citizens could
never entertain doubt of the right. My
communication, repe at, was on the abst act
question:; there was no direct issue on the
subject of that day, and was content with
the simple declaration of your body, which
thanks be to the providence OF Almighty
God, has done much to unite the Catholics
on this continent on the subject OF Slavery.
At the present moment, however the direct
issue then contemplated is at hand. If
the fanatic spirit of the Northern section of
the Union shall succeed in electing their
candidate to the Presidency of the United
States, there will be the one of the two al.
ternatives presented instantly to the Amer-
can people, the withdrawal of the fifteen
Southern States from the Union, or the for
nation of a general constitutional party
which shall take the most eif6 ctive measures
for wirhstanding the administration of q
Government formed upon President Ere.
mont. | am, and ever have been, against
the secession of the Slave States from the
confederacy, and will unite unreseryedly
with the constitutonis.s OF the entire coun-
try for the overthrow of the President elect
although he may have received the conslitu-
tional vote of the Electoral College, rather
than adopt secession as remedy in our
present emergency. This is revolution.-I
My object is to learn from you whether, as
a Catholic, shall be in!ractng any of the
laws which Almighty God has imposed for
my moral government; or, in other words,
whether the Church would absolve me from
my allegiance to President Fremont, al
though constltutionally elected, and thus
sanctify the bloS which swould strike for
the liberties Of my country and the interests
of mankind, no unimportant part. the unof |
Tending negro, who would be deprived of
home and all industrial eDdeavor, if the
fanatic of the day be permitted to use the
elective franchise guaranteed by the consti.
tuition, to break down all that is effective of
good in that noble instrument, the protec-
tion of Off property and our rights agans,
the encroachments Of each other the com.
bined power of the whole world
In placing this direct question before YOU,
| should state that do not compromise the
Church as to the angry discussion now pend
ing Of her interference with political affairs.

From the Charleston 8. C. Courier.
Aid of the Roman Catholic Church
Invoked.

GENTLEMEN: May suggest the publica-
tion o. the accompanying communication
in your paper. 1t is to open the question of
whether the constitutional party to which
it aiudes is ready to enter the field and pre-.
pare the public mind for deposing P.esi-
dent elected as Mr.. Fremont will be. In
the Church we have long lists of Popes and
Anti-Popes, and they managed in those days
to effect the substitution os the former for
the latter, without touching, in the slightest
degree, the stability of the hurch. 1t is
not for me to say how it would be done in
political sense, but we find in the press OF
the North that plans are rife. One Iwould
refer TO: that the President of the United
States, Pierce, should possess himself of
the treasure and archives of the Govern
ment, assisted by Virginia, maintaining
things in statu quo, until the public mind
could be brought to proper compromise
The Carolinas and Georgia would soon sus-
tain Virginia, and the rest of the slave
States come in time to support the moVe-
ment. need not say to you how necessary
it would be to unite the moneyed power of
the Northern States in sustaining the inter-
regum, and hence have looked to individ
uals as well as States in the formation of a
constitutional party. You see where place
the Catholic body in this communication to
Bishop Hughes. or in fact he places it there
himself. Ii you will peruse the Freeman's
Journal, Of New York, or an extract from it
in the Catholic Miscellany of the last issue,
you will understand me better. He no doubt
wrote the editorial in point. have every
reason to know that the army is safe, and
have no doubt but the navy may be relied
on. In fine, in the controversy before US.
some measure must be adopted to enlis, the
minorities of the Free States, the capitalists
of those States, and the Catholics of those
States. This force, based upon the fifteen
Southern States, would, in a few months,
silence the pretensions of the Fremonters.
But enough, the publication is before YOU
Respectfully your obedient servant,
A. H. BRISBANE.

(Copernicus, at the age of Is, was then a

the time will come when from two hundred

him scorned, prosecuted, hroken-hearted, in

think at all probable, they will FL their res

advantage to the county. They are ali new

excellent officer. Aside from their abomin.
able politics, we have no objection to any
one on the ticket.

of those dreadful earthquakes for which Ter
natl and the adjoining localities in the Mo
luccas are proverbial. An eruption of the
active volcano on the island of Great San
cir, in long. l25 deg. so min, E., and lat.

North Western part OF the island of Great
Sangir is formed by the mountain AVN,
which has several peaks, the highest being
about four thousand feet above the sea. On
the West side the mountain runs very sleep
into the sea, at the height of the large viii
lage Kandhar, however, falling away to a
low promontory.
Between anG O'Clock on the evening
of the Cd of March, sudden and altogether
indescr;bable crashing noise was heard
which, indicating to the Sangirese an erup-
ton of the volcano, filled them with con.
