A PAsToRA- LETTER Archbishop Spauliing,
the Catholic prelate of Baltimore, has issued a
noticeable pas toral letter. It opens with the
subject Of elui;ation, and the establishment Of
parochial schools is recommended, not only in
the cities and towns, but also in the rural dis
tricts in order 10 prevent the children from going
of from ''the church." Under the head Of Muir
der Of the Innocents the letter condemns
ante-na;al murders, declaring the murder Of an
infant before its birth to be a crime as great as
the killing Of a child after birth.
The letter refers to an increasing morbid
taste for indecent publications, and the attend
ance upon immoral or positively obscene theatri-
cal performances, which are denounced in severe
terms The Bishop also renews his warning
against 50 the modern fashionable dances, COM
monty called German, or round dances, which
are becoming more and more the occasion Of
sins
A good portion Of the letter Is devoted to the
interests of the colored members Of the church,
and as much zeal and vigilance is urged with
reference to them as to the white members.
Separate schools are recommended for them
The most noticeable part Of the document is
that which bewails the secular education in this
country and its attendant consequences, partic-
ularly the falling of from the church Of the
descendants of Catholics. It is even asserted
that the sin of infanticide is most prevalent in
those localities where e1ucation without ne
ligion, which means education in other than
Roman Catholic schools has longest been
established. This is going a good ways
even for an Archbishop. We doubt if
even the people Of his own faith in the localities
alluded to, Will either accept his statement of
fact, or perceive any connection between public
education and infantcide anywhere. Education
is always and everywhere the enemy of crime

From the Rutland Herald, May y.
The Vax. CoVcrun-

The time is approaching when, according to
established custom, convention will assemble
to present the name Of some person as the noml-
nee Of the Republicans of Vermont for the Office
Of Governor. The columns Of the Herald have
for several months past been open to the discus
sion Of the merits and claims of various we'll
known gentlemen who have been mentioned in
connection with this nomination, and there has
been evidently diversity Of opinion IN reference
to the man the Republicans should present to
the people for their suffrage. While this ques-
ton has been canvassed by correspondents and
by our contemporaries Of the press, we have pur-
pOsely avoided any participation in the discus
sion, that the claims Of all persons and sections
might be fully canvassed before determining the
course to be pursued by ourselves, wishing IA
Their 10 be led by the voice Of the people than
attempt 10 forestall public opinion. This course
has been pursued. not from any timidIty in max
ing a selection among the rival candidates, but
believing there was great diversity Of sentiment
and an honest difference relative 10 the claims
and qualifications Of the several gentlemen nam
ed, and desiring to come at a just conclusion in
the premises
The name Of General Peter T. Washburn, Of
Woodstock, is received with almost universal
favor in this section as a gentleman emIneutiy
fitted by education, ability and experience for
the Office Of Governor Of Vermont We most
heartily endorse the presentation Of General
Washburn 20 the convention as one deserving of
high consideration from the people Of this state.

says; s'The speech from the first to the last Is

TO determine whether law had been infringed by
considerations directed to prove that, whether il
had been infringei or not feelings had been
grievoasly injured. Great Britain would act
most wisely in leaving the United States to make
