Proscription of the liberty of speech in Kinston, by a foreigner. Mb. Robinson : In your issue of the 26th inst vou were pleased to allude to the fact, that while yon were writing said article, I was addressing the people at the Court House.- You also remark that "Three Ministers of that Church are already in the political field, Latham, Battle and Walsh."" t desire, Sir, to ask you a fews questions, and, as you profess to be so Ubcralso-non-"proseriptive". of ' course you will answer without any mental reservation. But, first of all, let roe say that I am not now, nor have I ever been "in the political field." Mr.Luuiam of course is. Mr. Battle can answer for himself, as 1 do this day. Is it right for a Protestant Minister to . v. i-:- r P,mcT ? And, if so, may . . xi .l.n.)i nr nnv I he not do it in the Court House, in me where else, without being denounced by men proi- ingtobe Protestants? Is itnotngm auu for Protestant Ministers to discuss xae -Spnruo power of the Pope ? Or do you prefer that Catholic Bishops and Priests should do this? Is it not a fact that all the Catholic Journals in this coun try, have spoken out upon this subject, without being denounced by you and the Administration press gen erally? Catholics may discuss these questions, but Protestants must not do it; because, by doing so, tiey enter the "political field I" And, if Protestant Ministers, by discussing the claims of the Papacy, en ter the "political field," does it not follow, yourself being judge, that RonianisnT is a "political" system ? This must be so, for, otherwise we might discuss it till doomsday without entering "the political field!" But you seem to argue that, to discuss Romanism is to discuss politics! to enter the "political field"?! Romanism, then, is "political" if Mr. Robinson may be believed 1 You do not "proscribe" Catholics in the discussion of these politico-ecclesiastical questions; but you do "proscribe" Protestants, and intimate in pretty strong terms that they have no business with such themes. No; Protestant Ministers must "preach the word be instant in season and out of season." Good ! This i3 the very thing I have been doing, and with which you find so much fault ! You were once a Protestant Minister yourself; and you cannot t,now be so ignorant of the Bible as not to know that Romanism, political and ecclesiastical, is there spread out on the canvass of Time by the spirit of God him self. The painter" is God himself 1 The Bible, Sir, is the great Test Book for the discussion of this Whole question. "Preach the word," indeed ! Why, Sir, I can lecture on Romonism 365 days in the year and "preach the word" all the time! A few nights ago you thought I was "out of season." Well, this was all right, you being judge, unless you repudiate the authority you quoted for my special benefit ! "These gentlemen know their own business." I am sorry, Sir, I cannot return the compliment; for there are some of' our adopted citizens, who, with all their learning, neither seem, to "know" nor to "mind their own, business,'? I assure you, Sir, we not only "know ourown busilp4)at; we mean to mind it ! And as it is a part of oubusiness to expose the claims of the Pope, we shall do it by "preachingjhe word in season and out of season," notwithstanding we may be lectured occasionally by Mr. Robinson. . I assure you, Sir, that "Mr. Latham's course" will not do his church one thousandth part the injury, that it will do the Catholic party. If "his course" injures any "church," the Catholic church will be the one injured. - . But my "course is still worse." My "nightly har angues will do" my "denomination irreparable injury.' Truly, Sir, you seem to be very much concerned for the prosperity of my "denomination." When did this church first enlist your sympathies? I shall be very much deceived in the good sense of my brethren and the public, if my "Sabbath congregations become small by degrees and beautifully less," in consequence of my lecturing on Romanism. Bnt if your prediction proves correct, it will only demonstrate, to me, the great necessity to have the subjeJrof the Papacy more fully discussed ; and I shall not fail to do it. But I " should be sorry to know that a single member of our church had so much"! sympathy for Romanism a3 to object even to the discussion of it! ,If there be such, they had better repair to Rome. But you ask the question "13 it. just to intimate that Elder Walsh may also have an eye on some fat, political office?" No, Sir, it is not "just." I seek no office. Nay, more, I would have no "political office, fat" nor lean. But turn the mirror, and it will, perhaps, reflect your own image ! As to "complacency," unless I wished to be over burdened, I should dislike to exchange with Mr. Rob inson ; for his very "complacent" smile and patroni zing air indicate that the gentleman himself is the very embodiment of this virture I But am I an "advocate of religious persecutions," er do I seek to "deprive" men "of the liberty of con science ?" This, Sir, is unworthy of a Hindoo. So far from its being true, I am opposed to the Papacy, because it is hostile to the "liberty of the conscience," the liberty of the press, the liberty of ourpublic schools, and, indeed, to all sorts of liberty. And while Mr. Robinson is.thus slandering me, and prating about "liberty of conscience," he is the allv and the amWist. of a church-power, whose' robes have been dyed in the Dest mood of the race ! He persecutes here at home in Kinston for lecturing against Romanism and thus denies the liberty of speech ! Still he "would be the last man nnder heaven to T "g?inBt a minister of gospel, while in tie path of dT 4c. in the path of duty " And who 18 Jge in this matter ? Mr. Robinson ? He will never be judge in this matter. . I submit rt to no man s dictatl am Tpo to God for the discharge of my duty. And I hold it to be a nartfvf duty, as a Christian Minister, to cjl ZT,T apoliticoclesiasticles: "M7.:Trt..Tr T avalanche, crushes . Ms feet. This I shall do - TP? threatens, or denounces. And if politicians continue to pander to , n-.JZ power, the day is not far distant when every Protes tant Minister from Maine to California will speak out . in thunder tones upon this subject, I have noticed your remarks, not for your sale, but fo? the sake of others who might possibly be mislead by you with reference to my position; and I shall continue thft ftnrrrw nf rlntv -markf! j - . iur me as a -Minister of rTKpJo wmnvTlaca nf oil 4V l "t' "j " Pinions or the f ope, at nome or abroad Yours independently - Tr- , t J0HN T- WALSH.

MASS MEETING IN KINSTON. A grand rally of the American party has just come off in our place. - Notwithstanding the shortness ol the time for preparation, several htmdreda were ad dressed on the occasion, from all quarters, not only f Ann4T. V. atari from firwn "Pitt." DuDlin. .ux lu wv, . - and Jones. They have come out voluntaruy to meet the friends of the American cause to aid and en courage them by their presence and to hear those great principles discussed. As yet we have scarcely had any speaking on our side. Recently one or too speeches have been.made iD this county ; to-day we have have had several excellent ones, in defence of the principles of the American party, and in ex position of the pernicious tendency of the anti- Amer ican party. There is an abiding spontaneous sense of justice and right which animates the intelligent people of our country and which will cause them to embrace the true principles of that country and to come forth on occasions like the present to manifest their approba tion. x At 10 o'clock R. W. King was elected chairman of the meeting. Dr. J. T. Walsh address ed the large assemblage for about an hour on the mischievous doctrines and tenets of popery and Roman Catholicism their in fluence on Republican institutions &c. Henry R. Strong Esq. followed in behalf of the principles of American Union party. He sustained himself well throughout, receiving frequent applause during speech. ' A sumptu&us Barbecue had been prepared which was now discussed quite as thoroughly as any other subject on the tapis. After dinner W. C Loftin addressed the people on the merits of the American party gave a most scathing review of the principles and practices of the opposition. All. things passed off quietly, decently and orderly Our opponents are extremely cross and out of humor although they insist that Col. Ruflin will get a majori ty in the ' district. It is reported hat there were a bou 25 tcitMraicals from the old parties who were introduced to " Samivil." Some idea may be formed of the number of per sons prefect when we state there were barbecued 30 shoats, one beef, and six lambs, which was nearly all consumed. . As if encouraged by the smiles of providence, after the exercises of the day were closed, a fine refreshing shower of raiu fell, to the joy of many a farmer. The Ladies too, ever ready to "aid ia good canSc were present, cheering on by the encouragmeut of their presence, the friends of true principles.. (t AX APPEAL TO MASONS." 7 To our utter astonishment, we have recently seen an " appeal to the -Masons," against the American party. This appeal shows how closely our opponents are run. If there be any association who, more than another, have cause to aid in averting the dire influences of Roman Catholicism, that association is the Mason ic. They have been the subjects of the most cruel and unrelenting persecutions from Roman Catholics. And it was truly unfortunate for our opponents, that they have made this suggestion. Supposing, . however, that this would be forgotten, they have ehdeavored to array the prejudices of that ancient and honorable order. Almost every intelligent Free Mason can recur to the frightful times even of the last century, in Hol land, in France, in Italy, when through suspicion, and pretended apprehensions of the bigoted followers of the Romish hierachy, their brethren then were wou tonly and cruelly subjected to their direct interference to abolish Masonry. History informs us that " in 1738 (in the ecclesiastical States of Italy) a formida ble bul was thundered from the conclave not only against Free Masons themselves but all those who favored or promoted their cause," In 1839 after Pope Eugenious had issued his bull against Free Masonry, one Crudeli a Freemason was imprisoned at Florence by the Inquisition and suffered the most unmerited cruelties for maintaining the innocence of the association." Yet, they have the hardihood to " appeal to' Ma sons ! They are the last people under the sun to whom they should " appeal." We do not believe that the feeling of the old . inquisitions against ' 'secret' societies are less intense than those of the present day. But if we refuse tb give them the power, they will be certain not to injure "us.- "Origin of the Know Nothings." To correct a stereotyped misrepresntation of 'the American party by their more unscrupulous oppo nents, we make the following statement upon the au thority of Senator Adams, of Mississippi, from whom we obtained it in a recent interview at Holly Springs : First. It is unqualifiedly false, that E. Z. C. Jud- son, commonly called "Ned Buntline," had anything to do with the organization of what is known as the "Know JN othmg" or American Jrarty. The organi zation of which that notorious person was the founder, was a military one, at Boston, unconnected with the political parties of this country. - . Second. ;It is also tmqualifiedly false, that the A.now ixotnmgs" bad their origin at the North. They organized their first Councils' of (Wigwams) in Baltimore--a Southehn crrr--i-urjder the followinc circumstances : J ust before an election there two years ago (or thereabouts) the leaders (nr atir of thfitrrt of the foreigners and Roman Catholics, went to the ieader of one Of the political Dartift th ar,A,Ap. for Myor nd offered to give him the whole foreign and Catholic vote, provided he would bind himself to appoint ; certain individuals to office, after his election, a list of whose names, and of the offices desired for them, was furnished. - The candidate refused to make any 8UCh corrupt bargain and sure enough, he was beaten by his opponent After the inauguration of the successful candidate, it was observed that all or nearly all of the persons, whose names were apdnthe aforesaid list, were appointed to the : offices Sn specified !

The following letter of the Hon. K. Rayner to Judge VfEllis of Washington city containing an ex--tract from a letter of Mr. D. M. Bar ringer to him (R.) stating that the - Pope's Nuncio , had told him (Barfinger) that "Judge Campell was appointed (Postmaster-General) and that he was "a Catholic ; which was the first information he had of his appoint ment, or of his religion." ' The natural inquiry in the mind of the reader now is, how, did it happen that the Pope's Nuncio was the first to find out that appointment ? ; Is not the presumption strong: irresistable, that he knew of the arrangement! by which Mr. Campbell was to be made P. M. General ? -And if he knew of it be? f ore J how long before ? Did he not know of it when the arrangement was made? This accounts for the unanimity with which the Catholic vote was cast for GenJ Pierce. All the reports of Gen. Scott's coiicc tion with the Catholic Church " his wife a Catho lic, his daughter in a Nunnery " and all could induce scarcely any catholics, particularly foreign ones to vote against Gem Pierce! And this appointment of Judge Campbell a Roman Catholic, as Postmaster-General, one of the most important offices under the Govern ment, just explains j what has begn heretofore, more thai conjectured viz : that the arrangement was made before the last presidential election. Read the letter an form your own conclusion. Here it is. I 1 Raleigh, N. C. July 19, 1855. "My Dear Sir: I have received yours of the 16th insti in which vou refer to the denial by the Union newspaper, of the truth of the statement (first spo ken of by me in my speech at Washington, and af terwards'by you in your oration of the 4th) of Hon. Daniel M. Barringer, our late Minister to Spain. " Mr. Barringer first mentioned this matter to me last winter, in Raleigh. I had since taken occasion to allude to it several timesin delivering pojiular-ad-dresses. About four weeks since, on my return from Philadelphia, I met Mr Barringer in Baltimore, and in the in the course of conversation with him, I mentioned the fact that I had taken occasion to speak pubjicly of what he had said to me about the Pope's Nuncio, at Madrid, having stated to him, before he (Mr. B.) had heard, and before the news of the same liadTeached Madrid, of th formation of Mr. Pierce's cabinet, that he (the said Nuncio) could tell him one man that would be in the cabinet, to-wit : Mr. Camp bell, of Pennsylvania, a member of the Roman Cath olic Church. .. ' . This was as I had received the statement 'from Mr, Barringer in the first instance, and it was thus that I had spoken of it-.' I asked Mr. Barringer, if I had represented him correctly, for that I should pro bably speak of it again, and I wished tojbe sure, that I might give the statement correctly. Mr. B. replied fiat 1 might give the statement correctly, and then went on to relate the occasion and incidents of this roniark to him by the Pope's Nuncio. ' 1A few days since, I received a letter from Mr. Barringer, dated 'Niagara Falls July 6th, 1855,' in which, after alluding to the fact that he had lately seen published a syuopsis-of my speech in Washing ton, in which I was reported as having nientiont-d the matter in terms somewhat variant from those in which he stated it to me,; and then he (Mr. Barringer) goes on to reiterate what he had twice before stafed to " I will quote to y'ouj verbatim, the language used by, hirri in an extract from his letter, just received, (to-wit : . I j ! . " 1 Before 1 had any authentic and certain news of the formation of the Cabinet, and tchile it was still-a., subject of conjecture at the Court of Madrid, he (the. Pope's Attncio) told me that Judge Campbell, of Pennsyl vania, was appointed, and that lie was a Catholic; wh ich was Ote first information I had, cither of his ap pointment or cf his religion.' " This is the statement, as I had given it, when al luding to it in public ; although it might have been slightly varied in the newspaper reports ; and this, I thinkj establishes !the charge, long since made, and bejieved by thousands, that there was an understand ing, to call it by no worse name, that the Roman Catholic vote should be given to Mr. Piorce, and that hei in turn, should gite to that Church a seat in his Cabinet, as well as many other high positions. r' You are at liberty. tdTmake any use you please of this letter, in vindication of ""yourself against the charge of falsehood by the Union newspaper, inas much as you based your statement on my authority. I " Yours, very truly, K. RAYNER. " Yespaciax Ellis, Esq., Washington City." iThe following are Judge Ellis' remarks , on the a bdve letter : ! j" The latter branch of the above quotation is al most word for word the same as that quoted by Mn Barringer 's letter) to him, of July 6th, and which Sir. Rayner thinks " establishes the charge " that there was an "understanding that the Catholic vote should be given to Mr. Pierce, and divers public offices should be given by Mr.- Pierce to the Chatholics. j The justice of I this inference, from the facts stated by Mr. Barringer, depends upon whither the Pope's Nuncio could have received the news of the appoint ment of Mr. Campbell, in any mode, from the United States, before the United States Minister, or the Court of Spain, or the other citizens of Madrid could hear the same news! i I One would naturally suppose that this pure and holy man of God, whose whole soul ought to be den voted to religious works to prayer to charity to the ostensible duties of his position as the representa tive of the protended Vicegerent of Heaven, would be the lastjnan. and not the fiist, in Madridto receive political intelligence from another country! Did the steamer which carried out the news of the formation of Mr. Pierce's Cabinet to Europe, take bid one letter to Madrid, and iliat one to the Pope,s Nuncio? Were the passengers and crew all ' mum, so that no body but his Holiness, the Pope's Nuncio, received this extraordinary information, not only " in advance of the mails," but in advance of the "appointment ! Uf this, however, an intelligent puunc juugc Your obediens servant, VESPASIAN ELLIS. Who "Persecuted" in 1835 1 For the special benefit of those who seem to have taken the lloman Catholics under charge, .we desire to direct their particular attention to the Vote in Convention in 1835, on the proposition to admit Ro man 'Catholics (certain) to hold office in our State. It is pretty generally conceded that they were proniDiieu a-nder the old Constitution In 1835, when no known inroads were sought to be made in this country J by Romanists, it had not then ;een threatened that this free and happy America 'must become subject to Roman Catholic dominion." Yet, even then, who do we see going farther than the "Know Nothings" now do ? ., Let the record speak. Look on page 331 of the "Debates in Convention." j "The question was taken on an agreeing to the resolution reported by the Committee of the Whole, (admitting Catholics to hold office) and carried." But those who voted against it were the following : (Note the names, perhaps some of them will be faini liat ia this District If so, don't blame us blame the recordSj if . any one, for that contains the vote as given.) ; .

Those in italics were Democrats. Some others not known. Several of them were Whigs. JAMES W. COX, and COUNCIL WOOTEN, were from this county.

Mr. W. a Democrat. JOHN JOINER, Of Ptt, a Whig. LOUIS D. WILSON and PLEA BANT S. SUGG, of Edgecombe, JOHN A. AVERI'IT, of Onslow, Democrats. These gentlemen, Whigs and Democrats, prominent leading men in their counties, and most of them enjoy a reputation hot confined to the limits of this District, all voted "to persecute" (as our opponents are pleased to call it) the Roman Catholic3 by late. How dare any one, the friends of j these gentlemen, Whigs or Democrats, who respect their memory and their prin ciples, to accuse any person of "proscription" who do not propose to go so far as these men did. We call upon the people of this District to reflect upon the tendency of their course, before they are unwiUiuglyelrawn into a whirlpool, from which those whose names are above recorded, endeavored to guide us." Beware of the influences which are stealing upon us, and which our forefathers feared, and not without cause. Before you. give any vote for those who are apologizing for Popery, pause and see the tendency 01 that vote. j j JE We conceive that no apology is due from cs for the admission of the Letter of Dr. Walsh, under the 'circumstances. It is in reply to an attack upon him; And most ably and thoroughly has he repelled it. Ihe subject of Dr. W.'s remarks alluded to, was the Spiritual and Temporal power of the Pope; which was his legitimate sphere as a minister. Not so, however, with thosejministers-who have taken the general politics of the country under charge partieu larly such as the Rev. Mr. Longstreets, and those o that character which have been so strongly recom- iflended by the Pierce, Reeder and Hughes party. T xl. ... - 1 i. 1 i .

Ncws. The "Know NothiiiTs" an3 th? Abolitionists. We ask1 particular attention to the following, from the "I)emocratic"'Herald," (an Abolition paper,) pub lished at Toledo, Ohio. Iii its issue of June ICth, in speaking of the Tennessee canvass, it says : ' . "Texxessee." An animated contest is going on in this good old Democratic State, for Governor, and the largest crowds flock to hoar the candidates, that ever attended political meetings since the Hero of New Orleans used to address, the masses iu person. The present incumbent, Andrew Johnson, fs the De mocratic candidate, and Mr. Gentry., a pro-slavery renegade froni the Federal Whig ranks, is the oppos ing candidate, brought out by a Know Nothing con clave. This man is on the stump abusing the Catho lics, and denouncing them for their tyranny, while he openly advocates the slavery doctrines of Southern Niggerdom! On the other hand, his competitor, Gov. Johnson, well and favorably known to our leading-. Democrats of Ohio, HAS" NO SYMPATHIES WITH SLAVERY, and is the advocate of such amendment.-? to the Federal Constitution, as will give all powe?to the people,.aiid EFFECTUALLY PUT DOWN THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY!" Hear-that infernal Abolitionist! He talks as flip pantly about "Federal Whigs" and "Know Nothing conclaves'? a& Tthe friends of Ruffin, Pierce & Co.

Every printer knows the very enviable predicament which the woe-begone cry of the; foreman of "out of paper," makes him acknowledge whatever depth of disappoint ment it may cause : Our own recent disappointment about paper, has of itself been sufficient to cause the most inveterate old fogy, could he have enjoyed our feelings, to become a most strenuous advocate for the speedy completion of the Railroad.
