From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l

He Rebukes His Slanderers and Fronounces
Firmly Against Slavery
Mozart Hall was nearly filed last night,
by a highly intelligent assembly drawn
thither ty an announcement Of a lecture,
10 be delivered by the Archbishop of the
Catholic diocese. The subject Of the lee
ture was not announced, but it was surlnis-
led, from the persistent SANDERS which have
been uttered against the Archbishop, be-
cause of bis firm aud fearless refusal to sup
port the Iato democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, that his remarks might IN some man
ner relate to the position ae had assumed
IL the political crisis. Many prominent
uphoders Of his faith, whom his course
had startled, and, perhaps, eliaguned, were
present, expecting possibly a diplomatic
apology, or, at least, anxious to discover

they were utterly Disappointed. Arch
bishop Purcell molestly, yet pointedly. an
swered his aeetsers, and with manly can
dor vindicated bis right and duty to vote
as his conscience dictated. He followed
the drfense with an unresefyed declaration
of his opposition to the division of the
country, under any circumstances, and clos

and glory Of republican country. His
lecture was d model Of unreseryed candor,
and his hearers frequently interrupted him
with applause, as loud and prolonged that
il seemed almost unanimous.

bishop said that for he FIRST line 10 thirty
