PROGRESS OF THE ROMAN CATHO.
Lie CHURCH IN THE u. STATES.

The Freeman's Journal thus ju5ilantly
notes the growth of the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States. 1t is well for
Protestants to observe what the Organs Of
that Church think and say of the material
things which prove so attractive to the eyes
of The unthlnking:-
The Coming Glories of The Church-AL
bany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Dubuque, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, Charleston. Mo-
bile, and other Episcopal ciIes of the United
States have recently been building cathedrals
of great magnitude and solemn magaificcnc,.
Philadelphia is progressing with her vast edi-
flee, and at length it has come the turn of
New York to make her mark, and symbolic,
materially, the hierarchy of her worship.
While cathedras were building in many
of our cities we spoke OF it in these columns
as "the Church coming forth from the Ca,a
combs" The Cathedral of New York. the
metropolis of the Western hemisphere, will
have its significance in the completion of the
condition thus express, d.
Th- Church, forth from the CatacOmbs,
lengthens her lines, strengthens her pillars,
and spans wide arches with lofty domrs.-
Genius exhausts itself in giving grandeur to
her walls. The painter does what human
power may to picture the ideal and the spir-
itual. The wealth of solemn music is stored
in her choirs. She unfolds the utmost p0mp
and movspent of her ritual, and eloquence
studies karning to give effect to her pulpit
The human mind is constituted to respect
exhibitions ef power. In our Cathedral we
are in no danger of rivalry from those not of
our faith. Professionalism has more wealth
than we have. II Protestants choose to act
ahsurdly, and with no eye to what is real,
they can erect as lofty, as vast, rs costly, n
building as we. But who will want TO see
it? Having seen it, who will not speak of
his disappointment? All Protestant fnrms of
worship are adapted only to the segregated
few. An essential part of the day of high
observance with Catholics is the throng of
worshipping thousands who put soul and
meaning into the solemn service.
When Catholicity is symboGzed IN the
places of concourse by all that most excites
admiration and impresSes memory, when the
stranger has learned that if he had but one
Sunday in New York, it must be given TO
witness the worship in the Cathedral, or 10
hear The learned orator Of the Catholic pulpit,
it will be felt that the uiS inerii9 of opinion
inclines in favor of Cath"icily. This is the
critical point We have touched in our Catholic
career. Let then our Cutholciy, which is
the grandest conception ever gwen to the
mind of man. be fittngIv bodied forth. Let
the Cathedral of New York be built. Let
the Archbishop bless forthwith its corner
stone. Let rich men of their abundance give
grpnt sums for its magnifcrncr. Let all d"
their part Even the poor, in their turn, let
them cast in their mites, that the blessing of
the poor may add strength

NEW TELEGRAPHIc SYMBoLs.-The Philn-
drlpha inquirer savs:-A letter from WASH
ingon says that should the Atlantic Telr-
graph prove complete success, it will be-
come necessary for brevity, economy and
privacy in dispatches, both official and non
official. to invent new ilphabets or symbols,
to be understood between PARTIES on either
side of the Atlantic. Already plans for of
fetal correspondence have been submitted t."
the Government for examination and adop
tim. The State Department now has ci-
pher for secret correspondence with agents
abroad. tits highly probable, moreover, that
a second line OF cable will be laid bv the
same company, as soon as the first shall be
fully tested, with q reasonable prospect of
Welding n fair remuneration for the outlay
Thi., inderd, will be essential, in case of any
accident to the line that has a!rrndv been
laid. That an immense business will be
transacted, especially il the rates should b.
at all reasonable, is beyond all doubt. In
deed. ii is not likely that one, or even two
cables will, in the course of Il few Years, prove
adequate for the transmission of the many
messages between the two worlds. But, at
the present moment, it is impossible TO spec
uate with the least consequence, as to the
extent to which this new application of elec.
tricilv NAV be carried.

w.sI,ng,on Correspondenee

To obliee an ardent Wing so long as that
marty was potential, who feels it his duty now
to stand aloof from party organizations, and
who. like the National Democrats, has no organ
to speak through, we publish his letter on poll
tics past present, and future, which failed to
reach the public through our evening cotemPO-
rary to which it was addressed. Re thinks the
letter is pregnant with fact aud sound doctrine,
of which readers can judge.
We publish the letter, however, as an act OF
courtesy to an old friend, without by any
means en- lorsing some of his structures and
conclusions. We fully believe that the hope
of the country rests with the Republican party
and look forward with great confidence to the
overthrow of the Slave Democracy in 1861
The letter, long as II is is worth perusa. for 1t
certainly can do the Republican party no harm
to sses itself as others see it. from the stand
point taken by one who in former days render
ed the people of this district good service in the

The Great QunIideariOn for Omee.

President Buchanan, through his faithful in
terpreter, Senator Brown, of Mississippi has
proclaimed new test of official favor. 1t is
opposition to the admission of Kansas until y
has population of Oa, 900, OF over, and to sup
port the admission of Slave State with any
population it may have when it makes applica-
ton Here is the proof
The Hon. A. G. Brown, u g. senator from
Mississippi, made speech at barbecue on the
IIth inst, at Hazlehurst, in that State. He
avowed the most extreme Southern doctrines,
cOnteading that Slavery and the Union could
not exist together, and that, when the issue
should come, ne was in favor of Disunion in
behalf of Slavery The Yicksburg Wing thus
reports the distinguished Senator:
"He Gov Brown stated that he called on The
PreSidcRi before he left Washington, and that Mr.
Buchanan assured him IN the most POsifire and
uneguirocai tsrms THAT lie WOULD
APPOINT NO MAN To OFFICE WHO
HELD THE OPINION THAT KANSAS
OUGHT To BE ADMITTED BEFORE SHE
HAS A POPULATION WHICH WOULD
ENTITLE HER To A REPRESENTATIVE
IN CONGRESS, tdeeOrang to the terms Of the
COgfeaenes bM) AND THAT HE WOULD
DECAPITATE EVERY 0FFICE-HOLD-
Err WHO EXPRESSED SUCH A BELIEF.
Gov. Brown went on TO state that he regarded
this as a solemn pledge on the part Of Mr.
Buchanan, and he believed he would stick up
to It. Whenever he (GOy. Brown Phghted his
faith to any man, he always stuck to It, AND
HE INTENDED TO HOLD Nh. BUCHAN-

The NesrOes of the slave ship Echo.

The chiyaIry Of Charleston failed in all their
attempts to get possession of the negroes Of
the Echo in order to transfer them to the rice
and cotton fields as slaves. The writ of habeas
corpus which Judge Magrath was applied to for
in order TO take the negroes from the custody Of
the U. S. Marshal, was refused chiefly on the
g;ound that the negroes were rightfully in the
custody Of the Marshal, under a law of the
United States, whi;h directs him to keep them
until the President can take measures 70 send
them back to Africa Judge N. however, in his
opinion, reiterated some of the points of the
Dred Scott decision, that negroes have no civil
rights under our republican government.
The captured Africans were transferred to the
U. S. figate Niagara on the 18th. They num-
bered 27l, showing a mortality since their ar
rival at Charleston, of 35. Those transferred
were apparently in good condition. The pro-
cess was slow Gu account Of the heavy sea
They were taken from Fort Sumpter on board
the steamer Geo Clinch, and 70 get them on
board the Niagara it became necessary to con
meet the steamer and frgate by two hawsers,
and run them on board in a large tub placed on
a third line. All were safely transferred, and
the negroes appeared pleased with the mode
During the voyage they viii occupy the spar
deck of the Niagara, SO lately filed by the tel
egraphie cable, will be served with food and
sleep on blankets on the deck, as is customary
with lower class passengers
1t is stated that on arriving at their destina-
ton the Africans will not all be landed at one
place. They will be distributed in small de-
taehments at several points along the Liberian
coast, whence they viii be sent of to the reeeP-
tacles for newly arrived eInigrants recently pre-
pared at Careysburg and other salubrious
points, for settlement in the interior. The Rev
Mr.. Seyes did not receive bis appointment to
accompany the negroes in season to go outVl.h
them, and another appointment was made. Mr.
S intends. however, to 60 out in the next vessel
for Liberia, and will take charge of the negroes
after they are landed, as the agent Of the Gov
eminent and the Colonization Society.

Y Enoeh Carson was strong candidate Tor
a desirable Office in Cincinnati. He was beaten
In the nomination. When called upon for a
speech he said
.sWork for the ticket, boys, ss hard as if i were
on it. That's the way intend 10 do"
That Is the true spirit; and if Enoch Carson
lived in our beat, we would % for him for any
office he MIGHT eovet-next time ne-Albdny Jour
nal.
SowouId We. How different, and how much
more manly, honorable, and commendable, the
speech and conduct of ENocH Carson, than that
of the man who works by himself and friends
for nomination, and falling TO get II in a full
and fair convention, expresses willingness to
let his personal friends and political opponents
use him to defeat his competitor at the polls
If there is any honor among men, It Is sacrediy
pledged BY the candidate who seeks nomina-
ton IN the convention of his political party To
bolt from their decision to seek to, or to consent
to run independent, no matter by whom solicit
ed or by whom counseled, is party betrayal
that proves the bOlter to be unworthy the con-
fdence and support not only Of his own party,
but of his fellow citizens without respect to
party. Defeated candidates in conventions
should con the brief and manly speech of ESocH
CARsoS, and at out its spirit.
