CATHOLICS AND SLAVERY:

Tbs Metropolitan Rseord, the reputed
organ Of Archbishop Hughes, has reply
to DR.. Brownson's terrific assault upon
slavery IS the cause Of the present rebel
lion, which the New 7 York Herald attributes
to the pen Of the Archbishop himself We
should be sorry to believe that the Catholic
Church in the United States had for its
visible head man who could indite the
blathering nonsense, and avow the practi-
cal Atheism, which the Herald charges to
the account Of that eminent prelate. We
are are sure that he will return old MIR.
Bennett no thanks for laying at his door
the assertion tint a mans right to his
slaves rests upon the same foundation as
his right to his lands; yet this is the cor
ner-stone Of three columns Of rhetorical
nonsense for which sophomore would
be whipped, If he should read it as 9 ckl-
lege exercise. No, Archbishop Hughes is
too wise and polite churchman for that.
