industry. Who that ever read the New res'
lament can fail to realize that such TRADE
and Christianity are as opposite as light and
darkness
We write with no hope Of efecting any Cd
sential improvement. O'Connell, in the fu'ness
of his power, appealed in vain to bis country
men by birth and fellow Catholics in this coun-
try entreatipg them to cease UNFOLDING Slave
ry. The influence Of the grogsbops was stronger
than even his; and the grogshops were and are
the recruiting stations of Slave Democracy. Uiu-
mately American Catholics will honor the early
fearless, uncompromising foes of American
Slavery; at present, it is more popular and
profitable to stone them. SO European Cathoi'
cism must vindicate the ancient Church from
the reproach Of hearing with indifference the
groans of the oppressed and passing coldly BY,
with the Priest and the Levite, the spot
whence an euslaved and brutalized race cry
nightly to God for deliverance.
New-York daily tribune., 1862-05-13
SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES

The meeting of " Conservative" Members OF
Congress on Saturday to devise the ways and
means of arresting further Anti-Savery action
10 the Capital was doubtless influential in expe-
ditng the passage Of, and perhaps in iocrras-
ing the majority for, Mr.. LOvejoy's bill prohlb.
iting Slavery henceiorth in oil present or pros
pectiye Territories of the United States. The
body of that bill is in these few but compre.
bensive words:
"Be 1t enacted, etc., That Slavery or involuntary
seryiIude in all whatsoever, other than IN
punishment Of crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted shall benceior,h cease ard be
prohibited forever in all the Territories OF tie United
States now existing, or hereafter 10 be formed, or
acquired IN any way.
The decisive vote--Yeas IS, Nays 5O-was
very nearly party one-that is, the Republicans
for the hill; the Democrats and Border-State
men against it. The Republicans therefore
owe acknowledgements to Messrs, JEFF. Davis
g. Co. for the coveted opportunity to pass this
bill; as but for their Secession, there would
have been a sure majority of ten to tweo'y
votes in tho House against it. The Senate. we
presume, will concur, and thus preclude oil
necessity for further agitation on subject
which has long enough divided and distracted
the country. II will doubtless crafty our
" conservative" friends to perceive that nothing
is SAID Of negroes, nor of any peculiar caste
or race. in this bill. 1t rests on broad prin-
cple-the principle that every innocent man
owns his own brain and sinews, and ID the
rghtlul possessor Of whatever they may hon
estly and usefuy produce, unless he sees fit
to sell bis exertions or their product to some
one else. This principle Dir. LOvejoy's bill
proposes to recognize and enforce, so
far as The Federal jurisdiction right
fully extends, leaving to loyal States
the exclusive regulation of their own internal
poty respectively. Maryland and Delaware
are Slave Ststes-werc 20 before they acceded
to the Union, and did not by their accession,
intend nor stipulate TO surrender their excIu-
sye control over the subject within their sew
eral limits; but the inhibition Of Slavery IN the
Territories had been decreed by the Coutinen-
I tai Congress before the Constitution was
adopted, or even completed, with the assent OF
the delegates from the then Slave States; aud
this policy was soon after unanimously re-
affirmed by ths first Federal Coogre" IN The

THE SITUATION IN THE SOUTH
WRAT.

If great battle has not already taken place.
one is undoubtedly impending in the neiebbor-
hood of Corinth. Washington was filled, ill.,
deed, with Iumors yesterday Of disaster to the
Union arms but our dispatches assure US that
the only foundation for them was the fact that
Pope's advance guard had fallen back upon
the main body, followed by Beauregafd, who,
force opposed TO him. How many these two
armies number, we, on tho one band, do not
know, and on the other, SO far as We are
informed, we are not at liberty TO state. But
they are, we believe, nearly enough equal to
make the conflict, when it comes. very des-
perate one. Contending motives, moreover,
will c0nduce 10 the same end. On the
one side must be the knowledge OF
the desperate condition of the Confederate
cause, for though the army may not, and
probably do not, know that Yorktown is eyac-
uated Norfolk surrendered, the Merrimac u
ruined hulk, and the Rebel army in full retreat
from Virginia, their leaders know these facts,
and understand the fOrlOrn state to which their
fortunes have fallen But on our aide, the noble
and persistent courage displayed by the army
on the field Of Shiloh Will be revvifed aud
animated by consciousness that success nov
will crush the rebellion then and there, that
victory must scatter the forces of Beauregard
never to unite again in any formidable array,
and insure, besides, an easy overthrow of the
flying army in Virginia, cat of, at last, from
all succOr from the South.
Such seem to be the probabilities, though
the possibilities. of course, are otherwise.
But even should Beauregard gain victory, it
Will only be temporary success. He eau, ut
best, only maintain lis position for little
while, till by new combinations OF the Western
Generals, and new drafts Of strength from the
North, an irresistible force can finally be pre-
cptated upon him and scatter hls forces or
drive them into the Gulf Of Mexico. The
situation is full of hope, whatever may DO the
immediate result, and even OF that there is
very little reason for taking any other than
most ehper(:li view

lt provides for the confscatiOn and sale of real

must be TO throw large quantity Of land in

over, by thousands of young men now in the
