Under this striking caption the Western Ban
ner Catholic organ) Of this city publishes o
letter from Charlottesville, Indiana, signed
"Ed. o'Flahety, r. c. Pastor" which will be
found elsewhere in this paper. Evidently the
editor Of the Banner takes Mr. O'Flahezty's
letter with grains Of allowance for in IN article
Of two columns Oh that topic, The sarcasm Of
which is 80 finely dElwn tlat nine, out Of ten
Of his readers will take it for straightforward
reasoning. VIC find that tho slavery mentioned
By its.Reverend~ correspondent Il some
thing widely different from tho dictionary
meaning ofthat term. When Father o 'Flnho.-
IS groans over the iahumanity Of selling the
little bore and girls "hap1cssly and hopeless1y
into the most cruel servi&ude," i" ho means to
protest against the practice some people havc
ofrescning children, chiefly Of Irish pareutage,
:itom altb, crime and ssarratiou in the Atlantic
cities and sending them to the West, where
benevolent people can be found to take them
into their families, and feed, clothe and educate
them! This is exactly what tue Roman Cath.
ole Pastor Of ofCrawtordsville means by "white
slavery in the West" The six dollars per
head ut which the juveniles aro said to be
knocked down by the salesman, means that the
persons who take them assume the additional
charge Of six dollars apiece for their railroad
Gare from New York to lndiana, which We
should say is something below cost No Zee!

We pass BY the comments Of the Banner on
the facts that Irish immigrants uot uutrequent-
II have more children than they can feed, while
many native citizens havc less than enough to
satisty The parental yearuings, with word.
Tue Banner seeks 10 draw contrast unfavora-
bic to tho virility Of the Saxon as compared
with the Celtic race. We observe On this
branch Of the case merely, that il the Banner
states tho facts correctly, the proper measures
are being taken to correct tho misfortune II
