tun ; VOLUME X NUMBER 26. WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 12, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1128 MISCELLANY. From the Sew York Spectator, ARCHBISHOP HUGHES, SENATOR LROOKS, CIICRCn PROPERTY, &c. Ac When Archbishop Hughes commenced his recent epistolary crusade, we mention erl that it was impossible for us to fi.id room for till ihe letters, replies and rejoin tiers that were likely to be the result; and that of necessity we must content ourselves with looking at the contest from a neutral bosition. reserving to ourselves the right of comment whenever we deemed it becoming or expedient The following brief letter. remarkable, at least, for its brevity, con sideling the voluminousness of the Arch bishop's former letters to Senator Brooks, seems to present such an occasion -Archbishop Iluphc to Senator Brooks Sena tor Jlrook notal(oCtner Dead to tne -Hoi pi Ili-Si adatlou of his Condition. To the Editor of the Courier if Enquirer: Our Senator has n vague idea of respec tability, under the influence of which he intimates that falsehoods, wish the delibe rate utterance of which he is charged, and with which no honorable man would suf fer himseir to be branded, are by no means complimentarv to him. I3ul it is impossi ble to relieve him from these charges. Falsehood he has been guilty of in almost every paragraph of his speech on the 6th of March, and of his writings in reference to it since. For the present I shall only enumerate the last falsehood fro:n his pen. It is found in the following words, viz: First, now, as to the parcels of proper ty and squares of land, I enumerate the thirty-two lots of ground on Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, in two parcels, one three hundred and fifty feet by two hundred and ten feet ten inches, and the other. one hun ' dred and five feet by eighty-five." When Mr. Brooks wrote this he knew as well as I do that I am not the owner of a solitary square inch of ground on Fifti eth or Fifty-first street, and, with this knowledge in his mind, Mr. Frastus Brooks has exhibited himself in the light of a man whoekas no record for veracity. and who is, therefore, utterly unworthy of notice. I take hira consequently with co vered hands to the nearest open sash of a window, and send him forth, with the sin gle mental observation, "Go hence, wretch ed and vile insect, the world has space for you as well as for me." fJoa.v, Archbishop of New York. New-York, May 1, 1855. We suspect that this letter will surprise not a few of the friends of both parties to the controversy, for every one will under stand it as a withdrawal from the contest on the part of Archbishop Hughes, and a most ungraceful and ill-tempered acknowl edgement of defeat into the bargain ; one entirely unworthy of the writer's intellec tual and official character. INor do wc think that the abettors of either controver sialist expected so early a " caving in" on jhe part of the divine. We- confess that en reading Archbishop Hughes' first letter to Mr. Brooks, we were inclined to think that the latter, in his zeal, had placed too much reliance on his sources of informa tion. The bold, confident, exultant, chuck ling lone of the Archbishop's letter con veyed this impression to many minds. Nor was it altogether removed by the earlier letters on each side, and the feeling was pretty general that, all things consideredj . Archbishop Hughes would prove more than a match for Senator Brooks. No one, be he Protestant or Romanist, can read the above note from the Archbishop, and Sen ator Brook's rejoinder, published in this morning's papers, without feeling bow ef fectually the Senator has demolished the Archbishop. The Daily Times very justly remarks that " inasmuch as in his very first letter the Archbishop accused Mr. Brooks of falsehood, it is not easy to see why he should now, for that alleged reason, end the contest he has so long maintained." This is not the fiist time, however, that the Archbishop, when compelled to retire from a controversy in which he was worst ed, has, instead of manfully and m a Chris tian spirit at least silently submitting to his defeat, endeavored to hide his discomfiture by pretending to treat him opponent with . contempt and by heaping upon him per sonal abuse. That was his course with Kirwan," although the parting ebullition cl temper in that case was less violent than in this, and for a sufficient reason. Then he was beaten in a controversy upon theological and ecclesiastical questions, but in this case he is beaten upon a ques tion of personal veracity a question which he chose to make one of personal veracity, by denj'ing Mr. Brook's allegation of facts and charging him with falsehood, repeat edly and in the most offensive manner. Certainly Mr. Brooks is right ia saying: u But, good Archbishop, I am not to be so dismissed. You -commenced the war and I intend to end it. If the insect has slung you, and you ba'e been unable eith er to heal the wound or have the sting ex tracted, it U your fault, not mine. There is something to me even more ludicrous than wicked, if possible, in the bitterness ,and boldness of your denials of the truth, and in the frequency of your personalities. Early in life I was taught that, in contro versies and intercourse amon? men no gentleman ever insults another, and nobody else can. 1 know the advantage I have over you in this respect, and mean to main tain it to the end, by an absence of all foul ep'lbpts, and all exhibitions of bad temper. You forced roe into this controversy, by re iterated charges of falsehood. You en deavored to hold n.e up to contempt by sa tire and ridicule, and finding that your curses upon me, like chickens, have come home to roost upon yourself, and that your satire and ridicule have rebounded to the point from whence they started, you now, 'with covered hands,' would throw the in sect from the window into the street that is, if he would let you. I shall buzz un der your window during my own good time, and, may be, find ingress again with in your Grace's quarters." The layman has not onty disproved the charge of falsehood and 6ent it back to roost with him that made it, but has also set the Archbishop an example of good breeding in abstaining from the use of of fensive epithets, and thus' sends back to the same roosting place nil the Archbish op's expressions of contempt. .", In Archbishop Hul hes'a first letter he employed this unmistakable language : u 1 have never rrciced or accepted anv transfer of axv property ichalerer from TitrsTEEs " Mr. Brooks's statement 1 know la b untrue." And in his second letter he asruin says; Any one who asserts that many of the conveyances of real estate to me were made by trustees, asserts a gross, and toward me an injurious falsehootl." . Mr. Brooks proves from the records that the trustees of St. John's Roman Catholic Church, the trusters of the Transfiguration Church, and B. O'Connor, as the assignee of trusters, have thus trans ferred properly to "John Hughes," mean ing the Archbishop. It is true that in one of these cases the property is lease ) but it is eased for nine hundred and ninety-nine years at one cent a year, and the Archbisop must have known lhat in all essential points that was a "conveyance of real estate." Beside, the other two are sales and not eases, and we "really cannot understand what possessed the Bishop when he made the assertions above quoted. JWe hold, that Senator Brooks has sub stantially proved all his other allegations, the Archbishop's vehement denials not withstanding. His first assertion was that fifty-eight conveyances of property to John Hughes were upon the books. He has given copies of forty -five, and has not yet completed his work. He said that the val ue of property held by John Hughes was nearly five millions of dollars. He has e- numerated one hundred and one lots thus held by the Archbishop, and with the prop erty upon them, they are not very far short of that in value. In addition, and it makes the denial on this point almost as unex plainable as the other, he quotes the Arch bishop's own admission, on a former occa sion that the bishops held all the Roman ist Church property in their own right. The loop-hole for retreat which the Arch bishop here avails himself of, however, is that be holds such property as trustee. This does hot cover his strange assertion lhat he had never received such property. and it is at variance with the fact, inas much as the conveyances are to him in fee simple, as John Hughes. This being prov ed, he retreats further, and pleads his own conscious moral obligation to regard him self as trustee, and that he considers all this property as the "property of God," sacredly to be held for the use of the Church and not to be parted with for any purpose. But even this is thus disproved by Mr. Brooks: I propose again that John Hughes shall name one person, 1 a second, and the? two selected shall elect a third, to decide not so much upon this question of veracity be tween us, for that is a matter more per sonal than public but what is more im portant, whether I, upon the record, have not made out a good claim to that public torary promised, upon certain conditions pecified, in the Archbishop's first letter. rely upon the record and the fact. I know no difference between John Hughes. and fJohn Hughes, Archbishop: The re cord is of property which he claims and acknowledges to be his, or which is in his own name, and that of his heirs and assig nees. It is his to give away, will awnv. sen away, anu dispose ot as ne pleases. The following record of a conveyancerow him to others, will show that he is as prompt to sell as to buy ! DEED MADE THE SIXTH DAT OF JANTART, 1853 JOHN HUGHES TO HARLEM RAILROAD COMPANY. Consideration of 846,000. All those certain lots, pieces or parcels of land, situated, lying and being in the Eighteenth "Ward of the City of New York, on the Easterly side of Madison avenue, and the Southerly side of Twenty seventh street. 1 I 1 - . . ' Recorded April 2, 1853, in liber. 61 G, r. 640. If this which was church property, was "tne property ot uouy' nqw could John Hughes sell it ? If it was not his own prop- j eny, now couia ne ueea it away in fee to . . a . . others' Would not the Harlem Railroad Company do well to look to the validity of a title received from a man who sells "the property of God," and conveys away prop erty which he declares he does not own. Wdo not wonder that the Archbishop, who commenced handling Mr. Brooks llirithful gloves," deems it needful now to cover his hands, and proposes hereafter to ayail himself of that plenty of room there is in the world to keep out of the way of the Senator who is after him with a sharp stinsr. t-" Bearing upon this point is the follow ing letter from a Roman Catholic, a mem ber of the faculty of the College from which his letter is dated. With reciprocal assur ances of our "much consideration," ; we comply with his request to subjoin such comments as we deem appropriate. Corrcspondt i ce of Commercial Advertiser. - College Masso.v, i Tekuebonse, L. C. May 1st 1855 Will you permit me, in this part of the J world, to express m v ODinions to mv friends in your city, relative to the act recently passed by the New York Legislature, which renders, unlawful the tenure, of church property by the Archbishop or Bishops of the Romish Church 'in your stale as soJe corporations!, Premising ihat I am a Catholic and an American, in a true snse of that term, and that my opir ions are the result oflionest conviction, and not of birth or prejudice, I would say that I regard the I,IW- sis a usurpation of power on the p;rt of the men who framed it. and as a direct and fl igrant violation of the constitution which provides immunity to every citizen to hold just such convictions its he may judge proper, without being amenable to any tribunal for them, (I) The act in question, a3 I understand it, confl cts with decree of ihe Council of Trent which puts under the ban of tho (R -mish) church all those who disobey if, and consequently excludes from the kingdom of heaven those who, in obedience to the said state law, would resist their lawful pastors. It is in this that the conscience is assaulted, and on this ground 1 call those who hold the reios of stale, persecutors. It matters not to Protestants that the Cath olic conscience is incorrect or false about which, by the way, no consistent son of the Reformation can decide. It should suffice for him to know that the conscience of every man should bo respected, "(2) ' Moreover this law is unjust in a political light,, for if a Vanderbilt or a Burnum can1 be absolute masters of millions, by what right do you prevent Archbishop Hughes from possessing in simple trust, what is his virtually, according to the canon above quoted? A trustee cannot dispose of what has been confided to him as a simple trust, and hence the bishop would not be able to alienate the property which miglH be in his keeping as a trustee, and not as an absolute owner. This being the face, in what does the danger consist, even sup posing for argument's sake, that the Sov ereign Pontiff is our master as a political prince, which is not true. It has been proved repeatedly, that the submission of Catholics to the See of Rome is purlely re ligious. (3) . But enough I am sorry to saj', that such acls are a disgrace to the American name and honor, and that every true son of Washington blushes for the land of his birth when, among strangers, such things are flung in their teeth. May Haven avert from the nation the chastisement which follows the commission of such high han ded outrages upon the people of God ; and m;iy religious strife and hatred be wiped away from the stars and stripes. (4) You will confer a favor upon me by in serting this at your earlie3 convenience, with such comments as j-our convictions may prompt you to make. In the mean time, I remain, with much consideration, Yours, &.c, William. II. Oram. 1. We must differ from our correspon dent, so far as to assert lhat the law in question in no way interferes with any anv man's opinions, or summons him to legal tribunal for conscientiously entertain ing them. It merely restrains him from acting upon l hem ; as3 if a roftn. was of the opinion lhat he ought to horsewhip the first Protestant clergyman he met, would not be arrested for holding that opinion, but would if he attempted to put in prac tice. 2. We think it very possible that iheact in question conflicts with the decree of the Council of Trent, and that it is not the only act passed by the free, stales of this Union thai is guilty of the like atrocity. But Mr. Oram makes out of this a very curious case of conscience. " Our correspondent assumes that the resolves of a Baltimore conclave of Romish Bishops is the voice of the Romish Church; and lhat those who disobey such a resolve are, by decree of the Council of Trent, excluded from Heaven. It is a hard case, for the law must be obey ed, the resolutions adopted by the Romish Bishops and the Council of Trent to the contrary notwithstanding The state of New York has not come to that pass that she must frame her laws by the decrees of the Council of Trent. If that venerable body had decided that Romanists must never pay taxes in Protestant countries on pain of exclusion fioxn Heaven, they would have to pay taxes nevertheless, though their consciences would have been equally assailed. Our correspondent is no logician. He proves too mnch. 3. Unfortunately this is not the fact. Archbishop Hughes put forth the same idea, of being a trustee only, and not hav ing power to alienate, &c.t but there stands the record that he has alienated i. e., sold to a business company, for secular purpo ses, a very handsome slice of his property. " This being the fad." &c According to our correspondent the Archbishop has sin ned in this matter. 4. We sympathize with our correspond ent And yet if no harder things than this are " flung in his teeth " while he dwells under the shadow of the British banner, be is not likely to lose many of his mastica tors by any' amount of missiles thai may come in contact with; them- And while he devoutly prays for the " wiping " of cer- tim Jbingsi "from the stars and stripes,' we recommend htm also to try and apply the swab to that ill-starred and badly stri ped document, the decrees of the Council of Trent, so that good citizens may not be afraid of obeying the laws of the land lest they be excluded from Heaven. .
