By the kindness OF some friend, we are
favored by mail, with copy of the N. Y.
Tablet, the Irish Catholic organ Of Ameri-
ca. This is No. Is, Vol 2, dated Sept.
II, 1858. We copy part ofa letter to the
Tablet, written from Chicago, and headed

We might add, that no true anti-slavery
man will ever prescribe man for his reli-
gion or nativitx, though anti-slavery men
are often prescribed by such persons as the
writer.

clearer and more overwhelming, that the
