TIE Catholic Churoh.

Archbishop McCloskey states that twenty
thousand Mussulmans were converted by the
Catholic Church, last year.
Bishop Becker. of Delaware, is regarded as one
OF the ablest and most learned prelates of the
Catholic Church in this country. He has been
mentioned as the probable successor to the pri-
macy Of Archbishop Spaulding, of Maryland, as
that gentlemans health has 80 far declined as to
leave no hope of his recovery. His want of the
proper age, is perhaps. the only drawback. His
name is also mentioned as the successor of
Bishop Mcgil, OF Richmond. Delaware would
doubtless part with him reluctantly. Middleton

most Importance in its consequences to

ship? Certainly when a people can no
longer tell friend from foe, wisdom FROM fol-
", good from evil, they demonstrate their
total unftnessfor sclfgovernment. Of one
thing they may be assured, that henceforth
they will find nowhere out of South CARROLL
na, any sympathy with the doctrines OF hate
and malignity, by means of which their
leaders would again make them minister to
their greed Of public pIunder. Had they
never listened to such teachers they would
have stood to-day disenthralled of passion
and prejudice, and ready, with calm and in
tcligent judgment, to array themselves by
the side of their true political friends
Now, we fear, they are but blind followers
of selfish and designing tricksters, who have
bcguiled them to their ruin, through the
worst of passions and prejudices. If they
so continue, the most persistent and faithful
of their friends must abandon their cause
as hopelessly opposed to manifest destiny.
The people who arc the slaves of passion
are the worst of slaves: The people who
are the slaves of passion excited by corrupt
and selfish demagogues are the most abJeet
and hopelcssly enslaved.

mocratic control. l was fast chosen to the
Senate by coalition Of Frecsoilcrs and Dc
mocrats. Democratic votes helped make
the Senator from. Massachusetts,, and they
also helped make my excellent friend, Mr.
Chase. Senator from Ohio and will help make
Horace Greeley President. But neither
Mr.. Chase nor myself was on this account
less faithful as Freesoilcrs, and, answering
for myself, I know that I never became a
Democrat, or lapscd under Democratic con-
troll. I do not doubt that Horace Greeley
will be equally consistent. The charge to
the contrary, so vehcmently repeated, seems
to reflect the character of those who make it,
except that many repeat it by note.
There is a common saying, principles,
not men, and on this ground an appeal is
made for President Grant, feeling justly
that in any personal comparison with Hor-
ace Greeley, he must fall But better
saying is Principles and men, 1 am for
the principles of the Republican party in
contradiction to Grantism, and I am for the
man who truly represents them. BY those
principles l shall stand, for them l shall
.abor, and in their triumph + shall always
rejoice. If any valued friend separates
from me now, it will be because he places a
