psbop LYNCH addresses long letter TO the
Archbishop, and the latter replies in one of
.n,-se equally long; for the Archbishop does
-. generally allow an adversary TO. exceed
hsaa IN lssg:A OF an argument, and, indeed, not

and, if not so exported, a security uudoubted for
that amount. The blockade, he reasons, has been
beneficial 10 the South, as it has forced her to
manufacture great many things she has here
tofore gotten entirely from the North
Upon this reasoning, he assumes that the
South must triumph. He concludes:
The separation of the Southern States is I'm
fat. Occomph. The Federal Government has no
power 10 reverse il. Sooner or later il must be
recognized. Why preface the recognition by u
war equally needless and bloody? AIen at the
North may regret the rupture, as men at the
South may do. The Black Repu ubiicans over
came the FIRST at the polls and would not
listen TO the second in Congress, when the evil
might have been repaired. They are respon-
sibie. II there is TO be lighting, let those who
voted the Black Republican ticket shoulder

Il, them NOT send Irishmen To light in their
stead, and then stand looking on at the con-
fiet, when, IN their heart OF hearts, they care
little which OF the combatants destroys the
olleT.
Archbishop HcGHEs, III his reply, does not
undertake TO answer Bishop LYScH's reason
ing upon the causes which have led to the war.
He declares that he was a friend of peace un-
ii the war began, but does not now dare to hope
fer peace until he ean see some solid ground
upon which 10 establish it. He reasons that
ire South begun the w;.r--that it had no right
TO secedc or separate, no matter what it's com.
plants, except III the mode provided by the
Constitution. The election Of LINCOLN was
many Southern Presidents had filled the Presi,
Dental chair. He denies the right of secession
in State more than Il county ora town FROM "a
State. He seems to have beena pupil of the pro-
found DR.. LINcoLs.) In short, he is al out and
oui Federalist-is against the cry OF peace-for
the vigorous prosecution of war; but declares
that the North is not lighting for subjugation,
but 10 bring back the seeded States to their
organic condition before the war. The only
peace suggestion that he thinks practicable at
tie preseR. moment is the holding, during the
progress of hostilities, of two eonyentions-one
IN the seeded States, and the other in the loyal
States-where, in the former, d statement of
grievances and reelamations might be pre-
pared, and in the latter reconsideration of
The points in which tie Constitution may have
proved inadequate to meet the present Difficult
ties, the whole to be submitted to a conven-
ton Of delegates from all the States as soon as
common agreement can be effected for that
purpose.
Thus much for the controversy between the
Bishops 1t is marked by much ability. The
Archbishop adds ingenuity to his essay, in the
employment Of which be is not over-scrupu-
ious. For instance, be quotes from Mr. Rus.
SELL the remark of some Southern men hos

feeling towards them. He confesses that the
gentleman quoted by Mr.. RUSSELL is no true
representative of the gentlemen il was his

Ter, he says, ''if il be true, ii shews that for
Irish and foreigners in general the South is
nearly a. unfrien3iy Is the North can be-
lie has not the hardiood, even if il be true,
to say that the South is as unfriendly" as
the North; for he could not ignore the fact
pAi the South has protected foreigners, while
'le North has mobbed them, burnt their
darcaes, sought their disfr;,nciiseiuent, and
even invaded the property and authority of
ls Bishop himself But, nevertheless, he
ehooses 10 give the North what advantage be
'sh ty quoting Mr. RussgLL's anecdote, and
sayias ''if it be true" &c, knowing that with
