All regret that the article "Reflections and suggestions on the Catholic Press" by Archbishop Hughes has been printed. It is said that many of his friends advised against it, but, accustomed to rule without counsel all his life, he could not consider it. He believes the Archbishop will regret the publication of the article more than any other article since the publication of that document in which he tried to make up for the want of respectability in his Irish origin by claiming a Welsh descent, and giving an elaborate family history. Hughes attacks the editor of the "Celt" for asserting that the success of religion in this country depends upon the influx of immigrants. Hughes next turns to Dr. Orestes A. Brownson for asserting that the success of the Church depends upon the native Americans. He next attacks the "Freeman's Journal. " Hughes attacks James Alphonsus McMaster. Hughes is the same old politician, he thinks more of what the world will say than what his priests and people will say. Hughes never condescended to call his priests together. Hughes tends to account for the lapsed Catholics as understandable only in the mysterious dispensations of Providence. This is a very convenient way of justifying Hughes' lack of positive action. Hughes' assertion that certain relapsed Catholics, who were baptized in the faith, never really belonged to the Church anyway, marks a precedent. It would be best if Hughes would restrain from political life. :: I-1-d Copy 8pp. 12mo. 12 9Galleys, 1p. notes by Finotti, 8pp. Copy
