ARCHBISHOP HUGHES.

Z The New York Times says that, Arch
bishop Hughes has fallen underathc dis
pleasure of the supreme authorities Of
Rome, and there Is danger that he may be
virtually suspended by the appointment Of
conjugator. with the right of succession,
or by the appointment of administrators
of the diocese, under thepretence of re.
lieving the archbishop from the temporal
cares that press upon him., The Times
gives the following as the amount of the
charge against the Archbishop; l77ig

said by members of the Church it is a

an architectural structre worthy Of a power

ambition and politics of an Alderman,

A fno house on Bienville street-wheth-

money placed at her command; provided
herself with a wardrobe rich enough for

the coming event; whilst the bridegroom
(that was 70 have been) in his ecstacy, pre-
sented her with a case Of jewelry worth

p ACT UPON PRINCIPLE.

A good many of American friends
warmly attached the principles of the A
merican party, are manifestinga good deal
of natural anxiey about the future Not
so strong, numerically, as the Democrats
were the last autumn, and considerably
weaker than the Republicans, they wish
to know the proper course of action for
future time There can be but one correct
rule of action for men who unite to build
up. party and to maintain its principles,
and that correct rule is to stand by your
principles and by one another, just as long
as there is opportunity Of successful labor.
To those who love prefermont more than
principle, and place more than honor, no
argument can be addressed of sufficient
weight to influence their, conduct in the
right direction.
However proper and natural it is to be
anxious about the future, the present is of
quite as much Importance. The acts of
an individual are to the person himself of
the first Importance. The man who thinks
before he acts, and whose associates de-
mand what is right before that which is
merely successful, will make no mere cal.
culations upon mere party advantage. sou
We take for granted, therefore, that
Americans will stand by their principles,
and by one another There is nothing be-
fore the country at this time requiring
them to select between choice OF evils.
They have nothing to gain by going to the
one side or to the other, but everything to
hope for in maintaining their ground, fear
lcssly and Independently. Recent events
at Albany, New York, more than ever have
taught us to appreciate the correctness of
our position, and at least to indulge in the
hope that no man will desert his clors be.
cause lie is in a minority, ..,
When the Democratic party or the Re-
publican party, nominate iuen for Office
who believe in the American Platform OF
principles, and whose lives have been in
accordance with their professions, there
may be some reason for listening to pro-
posals of association and union. 1t is the
present policy of each of these parties to
misrepresent, to weaken and extinguish
the American organization We fear the
Greeks, and dread their gifts,
