III TIE Editnr of the Lender:

To the Editor Of the Leader:
1.-THE Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, of March 18th, has
the following:
aSome additional facts have come to
light to day respecting the action of GER
tain members of the National Union Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Baltimore Re-
publican Convention. Mr.. George P.
Center, of Cleveland, Ohio, has returned
home to-day; and George B. Wright,
Chairman of the Ohio State Central Com
mittee, the gentleman to whom Gov. Cox
addressed his letter Of a few days since, des-
criptive of his interview with the Presi-
dent, has arrived. The design of Mr..
RAYMOND, of New York, Mr.. Campbell
and Mr.. Center, of Ohio, and those con-
Dected with them in the movement to OBJ
tain the control Of the National Commit
tee in Mr.. Johnson's interest, is to en-
deavor to oounteract the action Of the
Congressional Executive Committee, who
are engaged in raising funds and sending
home documents which will present their
position fairly to the country. To carry
out their intentions, these gentlemen-Mr.
RAYMOND, &c.-have ordered printed 8
large number of Mr.. Johnsonis celebrated
and world-renowned speech of the 22nd
Of February, as revised and remodeled by
him. The Congressional Committee are
much pleased with this action of the Pres
ident's friends, and will doubtless order
many copies OF the same speech, as it was
actually delivered and reported verbatim,
rs they believe that document not only a
valuable contribution to any private IL
brsry. but the most useful campaign pub
LEGATION that can be obtained"
According to this, the WnyOrtsHate speech
of the President, on the 22d of last month,
1or which Congress is solely "to blame
according to the Herald Of Thursdsy Of
this week, is TO be made the texte coming
elections, by the Union loyal men Of the
country. Should they succeed, Govern
ment securities of all kinds will depreciate,
confidence in the faith of the Government
will be shaken, and the business Of the
country in some degree parslyzed-
The Presidents direct assault on Con-
gress, before a crowd of copperheads,
rebels, traitors and s~ympathizers, is now
justified by the Herald and the Postmaster
of this city, and is to be made the watch
word Of the party. If so, why does u
neighbor call the speech an unfortunate

Postmaster General D-ennisonwrote alet-
ter some days since, which has been extern
sively published implying that postmasters
were still expected to act with the Union
party-orat least wouldn not be beheadsdfor
SO doing. Since its publication, these OH
eials have breathed more freely. But the
hour of their tribulation has come again,
for MIR. johnson, it is said, has declared
that he not only did not authorize the
letter, but that he had not seen it until it
appeared in print. The President has
just shown what his own policy is by very
~summarily decapitstiug Ira B. Beach,
postmaster Of Forrestville, Conn, who
had been outspoken in his support of Con-
gress. Other radical postmasters had
better profit by this example.

The Atlantic and Great western AaiA-
rOaa.-Judee Reads DecisiOn-Fu-
ture Operations
We learn from the Railroad ana Mer-
chants Journal, published at Chlcago,
that James McHenry, Esq. IS giving hs
attention to the work OF es~taOisIihSa
broad guage connection far the AttsAtic
and Great Western Road through Iehn-
~sylvania. To effect this, say VS. that paper,
cover two hundred miles OF new road
must be built, and the Alleg Deny noun
tains surmounted if the road IL: built from
Oil City to Milton, and it the. 4 becomes
necessary to carry the wi, lie guaSe
through to New York, to secur, the Lee
high Valley Railroad, either by Tease or
purchase, which stands between the Cata-
wissa and Morris and Essex Roads. The
~abroGation of the contract by J udge
! Read, Il few days since, will not pre- vent
a fresh contract, or, if necessary, a ,lr-
chase of the Catawissa IRoad, though it
may be that the Atlantic and Great
Western may construct, upon a lire
equally eligible, a road to complete their
! connection, independent of all others.
"One thing is settled, which is, that not
even the towering mountains which cross
Pennsylvania in as southwest and north
east direction, will long hinder or defer
the construction of additional railways.
Interests now existing will continue to
expand and accumulate on eligible ground
according to welLconsidered plan and
policy; nevertheless, new combinations
will arise which will develope the resourc-
es Of railway companies, as well as those
of the territory through which the routes
propose TO pass.
"Whatever legislation may benecessary
to enable the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railroad Company to consummate
this bold and original scheme for a line Of
its own all the way to New York city,
either through lease or ownership, re-
mains to be seen; doubtless the question
will be solved next winter at Harrisburg
though from the spirit manifested by
SOME of these Solons-professedly free
railway men, an exciting contest may be
expected.
"Recent Western combinations would
if rumor is to be trusted, place still an
other great railway in the hands of thu
Atladtic and Great Western. If rumol
should prove correct in this case, it viii
be merely developing a new phase in the
management which aims to take into 1t
grasp the East and the West, the Nortl
and the South"

at has come to light that a few second
rate Ohis politicians, in connection with
some like them from other sections, are
here attempting to devise some means of
counteractfng the influence of the Con-
gressional Executive Committee, for the
circulation of documents. The response
Of the people to the attempt to form a new
party, which should include the rebels and

tactics necessary, and in determining their
character these schemers are very busy

The Catholic Anti-CatfIe Plague Pre-
SPriDtiOu.

Ser1ptiOn.
Archbishop Cullen's prescription to
avert the further progress of the cattle
plague is the following: Ito all Catho-
lies I would recommend the use, each day,
of the prayers against pestilence, which
are found in all prayer books, or those
contained in the missal I would also
recommend them to get their parks and
fields blessed with prayers given in the
Roman ritual, and also to erect crosses on
their lands, and keep them in their dwell
ings, in the hope that that this emblem of
the triumph of Christ over his enemies
may put to fight the powers of darkness,
and preserve us from their wicked inlu-
ence. Public and private prayer, holy
water and the cross, are looked on by in
fidelity or heresy as things to be despised,
but every pious Catholic knows their vir-
tue and efficacy. Would to God that all
these means of obtaining assistance from
Heaven were in more general use, and
especially that the image and cross of our
Redeemer were more commonly erected
as objects of generation, and as memorials
of the sufferings of our Lord, in market
places and at cross roads, according to
the pious practice of our forefathers in the
faithn

gentleman in the audience rose up just as
the third piece in the programme had
been'performed, andsaid "Mr. Conduct
or, will you obhge me, sir, by requesting
your vocalists to sing louder, or to sing in
a whisper, as there is a conversation going
on close by where 1 sit, that is conducted
in such a loud tone as to hinder my en-
joymsnt of the music. 1 prefer certainly
to hear the concert but if 1 cannot be Sc
privileged, 1 desire TO hear the converse
ton" There wal an extremely quiet and
attentive audience during the rest OF the
evening.

Anumber of influential and wealthy
men in New York city, who are staunch
supporters of Henry Ward Beecher in his
present conservative attitude, have given
him a call. They consider him too bril-
liant a light for Brooklyn, and offer to
raise 500, 600 for the purpose of setting
up a tabernacle and parsonage for him in
New York. It is not probable, however,
that Mr.. Beecher win accept the offer.
He is too closely welded to Brooklyn,
where he has labored faithfully for TWEEN

Royalty in its converse with lesser man
kind always uses the plural. Our Demo-
cratic President has been studying the
language of royalty, as well as the divin-
ity that doth hedge it in the exercise of its
prerogatives. In his speech to the Ken
tuckians on Friday last, the President
thus expressed himself:
sour stand has been taken. Our course
is marked out. We should take no step
backward in the matter. No other or
higher evidence of our purpose in this
matter can he given than has already
been furnished. In the future as in the
past, We shall endeavor in good faith to
make the administration of the affairs of
the Government conform to the Constitu-
ton in its letter and spirit. Therein is
the only guarantee to the liberties of the
people. 1t is hoped by Our adherence to
this rule to remedy ere long all the irreg-
u~larities and ~annOyaRces TO which the peo-
pie have been subjected. Again, do We
assure you that these demonstrations of
confidence and assurances of support upon
the part of the people are exceedingly
cheering to Us. that We are grateful for
and properly appreciate them; and that
Our most earnest wish is so to discharge
the trust confded to us as to merit them

puts in the mouth of Richelieu, when ad-
dressing a conspirator, "What page, man,
