AWFUL EXPOSURE.
When we found some months since
placed on our tabloa book entitled “Aw
ful disclosures of Maria Monk,” a glance
at its contents sufficed to convince us that
it was a most vile catchpenny concern,
and wc hastened to caution the public a
gainst its purchase. Unfortunately, how
ever, so numerous now a days have the
vehicles become in this city which spread
a prurient tale before the world—which
seek to live by creating an idle curiosity
or ministering to a depraved taste, that
Maria Monk and her book soon became
object* of public notoriety. It sold won
derfully we arc told. Maria and her rev
trend friends found they were doing a
thriving business, and by now and then
springing some new mine to arouse pub
lic attention—such for instance as an ap
plication to the Chancellor,—have man
aged to this day to keep the book a going,
and have received among them from its
sale, almost a little fortune.
For our parts we should not revert
to this monstrous instance of gullability.
were it not (hat Messrs. Jones & Leclerc
of Montreal, publishers there of a highly
respectable journal, learning that the
booK full of lies and nonsense, sold so well,
thought wc that a refutation ol
them would sell equally as well, —that
people so ready to devour absurdities
would be equally desirous to learn the
truth, ami they nave in consequence pre
sented to us under the'title of “Awful
Exposure,” a plain narrative of the crea
ture’s life, with all the facts authenticat
ed by affidavits.
_Slnt turns out to have been, what
might be supposed, a half crazed prosti
tute and thief, an inmatcof the Magdalen
Asylum at Montreal,—to which building
the description she gives of the architec
tural arrangement of a nunnery applies,
and the occupants of which, she in her
book lias transformed into nuns. There
is no peg left to hang a doubt. The girl
is followed from her cradle to her last
visit to Montreal in company with (he
Reverend! Mr. Hoyt. There are the
affidavits of the individuals with whom
she lived as a servant, of the constable
who arrested her for theft, of people who
r r'r lcr duri ”S iei ’ abandoned course
of life, of her own mother, of the highly
respectable matron ofthc Magdalen Asy
lum, and of the protestant clegry of Mon
treal.
It has been reserved fur this citv and
these days, to witness the success of aj
■plan of deception, the scene of which is ■
laid in our very neighborhood, and in our|
own times, and a belief in which demands
a belief in crimes incompatible with hu
man nature. The tales of Monkisk ex- •
cessos which (lowed from the British
Press during the period oftho reforma
tion, and which probably were circulated
uajre from motives of policy, than anv
beliaf in their veracity, carried the scene
of action toso?ne distant country# to sonic
almost inaccessible Italian mountain, or i
dark mysterious vally in Spain, where
no law existed or none could reach. But 1
here we have a monstrous falsehood placed I
before us, impeaching men now in exis- ,
tonre and whoare living at our o v;i doors, i
and under a strict administration of law
by English Protestants. Impudence and
villainy never went so far before.
The conduct of (he Roman Catholic
Clergy of Lower Canada has been what
reflection tells us was right and proper.
They have treated the vile creature and
her equally vile associates, with silent
contempt. How, indeed, could the spir
itual guides of a whole population de
scend to notice the slanders of an abomi
nable prostitute, or the Bishop of Mon
treal place the religious character of the
females under his pastoral charge, in op
position to. that ol a prostitute and the
Rev. Mr. Hoyt.

LATE FltOM EUROPE.
Nkw Youu, October 12.
By the packet ship Si. Andrew, Capt. Thomp
son. from Liverpool, and Samson, Captain Chad
wick, from London, wc have our English files to
September 11th.
The money market continues much agitated by
by the position assumed by the Bank of England.
Much umbrage is taken to this measure bv the
American commission merchants, some of whom
have curtailed their credits to considerable extent.
They threaten, if the hank persists in refusing to
discount ns usual, to suspend their purchases, in
■ which event the new crops of cotton coming will
, turn the current of trade in favor oftho United
| States, and increase rather than diminish the
I drain of specie complained of, ami which has been
, the alleged cause of tho obnoxious measure in
question.
The French ministry are at length formed, witlr
■ Count Mole, peer of France, at their head. He
1 j is one of the most striking examples oftho politi

I srs. James M. Wayne, Joseph W. Jackson, Sam
uel B. Parkman, and John Mgcpherson Berrien,
have been appointed delegates for Chatham
County, to tho Rail Road Convention to be hold

THE WM. GIBBONS.
We arc gratified to learn, from the following
. article, extracted from the Charleston Courier of
Thursday, that though tho Wm. Gibbons is a
t complete wreck, her passengers arc all safe.
.Veres of the William Gibbons. —We have the
. gratifying, the joyful intelligence to communicate
to our readers that THE LIVES OF THE PAS
SENGERS in the William Gibbons, ARE
. SAFE!
Wo have not language to express our pleasure
at having it iu our povvar thus to relieve tho in
tense anxiety that has parvaded our whole city,
for several days past.
Tho boat went ashore at New Inlet between
29 ami 30 miles North of Hatlcras, about half
past 4 o’clock on the morning of the 10th inst.,
| where she lay until day light, efforts'were then
made to get off, when tho boat got nearly into the
channel, and about 2 P. M. moat of the passen
gers were landed upon the beach, the boat remain
ing in the same position until tho next morning,
when she was driven upon a sand bank and bilg
- ed, the remainder of the Passengers and crew did
not gain the shore until about 10 o’clock on Wed
nesday morning, when the boat was abandoned,
with no hope of her being saved, she being a to
tal wreck. The passengers remained on the
teach until Wednesday evening, whoa they got
on Chickamacofnaca Island, from whence some
proceeded to Elizabeth city, and other places in
the vicinity. Thirty-throe persons chartered the
schooner South Boston, and proceeded for this
place, where they arrived last night, about one
o’clock, and from them we have received tha above
information. Tho schoonci .Itlas is also on her
way, with more of the passengers, and a largo
, number yet remain on the Island, where they arc
provided with provisions, ami will probably reach
. this city in a day or two.
The above is all the intelligence we have been
able to collect at (his late hour—indeed it issulfi
eient to state, that there is not a life lost.
The following is a list of the passengers on
board the South Boston:
John Byrnes, jr. lady and child, L M Sutclilf,
lady and child, Mr Hill's and lady, Mrs Dodge,
Mis. Grant, E Le Bmhon, Lehman, J D Fuller,

PUBLIC MEETING.
It will lie seen, by reference to the Advertise
ment, that a Public Meeting will be held at the
Masonic Hall, at 12 o'clock, This Dat, to ap
point Delegates from this city and county, to the
Macos Rail Road Convention. We earnestly
hope that the people generally, of both the city
and county, will attend, and lake a zealous inter
est in a matter of so much importance to them.
election returns—complete.
The remainder of the Returns being received,
our Table of Election Returns is now complete,
and the entire vote for each candidate is as fol
lows —the names being mow placed in the order of
the votes received by each, from the highest to
the lowest; Gen. Glascock, and those in the first
column, being the ones elected:
Gi.ascock. 48,172
Clt.tex.asd, 29,579 Alford, 28,803
Towns, 29,511 CoLgCITT, 28, (551
Hatnes, 29,477 Habeusham, 28,582
Grantland, 29,332 Coffee, 28,521
Owens, 29,323 Kino, 28,455
Jackson, 29,217 Jackson, 28,415
Holsef, 29,177 Nisdet, 23,397
Dawson, 28,990 Black, 28,366
The Union Ticket, it will bo seen, is again
elected, with one exception, and in place of that,
Col. Dawson is elected from the State Rights
Ticket. That it has triumphed can scarcely be
said, since, as compared with former elections,
the triumph is on our side—a decided gain, at
least, while theirs has suffered a decided loss.
Two years ago the Union party majority for
Congers was about 5,000 votes —last year, for
Governor 2,527 —and this year, their highest man
is 589 votes only, over ours!—shewing that we
have gained upon them considerably each year,
& are still gaining, and therefore, with so small a
majority against us, must inevitably succeed for
Governor, next year. The majority of Holset
over Dawson, (elected) is only 187 votes—over
our next man. Alfoud, only 374 — and pver our
lowest, only 811. Coffee, however, is their
lowest man, and is beaten by four of ours; and
though he probably lost some few voles on ac
count of his death, (which occurred only a few
days before the election, was concealed by bis
own party papers, and not believed except in
his own neighborhood,) yet not many, since in
his own county and those around, where it was
of course known, he was still voted for, as though
actually alive, and in his own county, received
only 66 votes less than the highest Union man.
His majority, as their lowest candidate, over our
lowest, is only 155.
So much for the party contest. In the one for
principle, alone, between Glascock, (who voted
against Pinckney’s Resolutions, and all interfer
ence, by Congress, with Southern Slavery,) and
his Colleagues, (who voted for Pinckney’s Reso
lutions, and in favor of receiving the Petitions of
the Abolitionists,) the difference is immense, and
developes a glorious triumph for his and our
principles, over theirs, and the Union parly—his
majority being 18,593, over their highest man.
He lost many votes in tho Stale Rights party, in
consequence of the false charge against him, in
dustriously circulated by the Union men to preju
dice ours, that he look an active interest for Van
Buren, against While; and would no doubt have
been defeated, but for the vote ho received from
our party. Look at tho violent Union opposition
against him in bis own county; and we learn
that in Columbia county, a large number of Union
men dropped him at the polls. Such, too, was
no doubt the case, more or less, throughout the
Slate—rendering it undoubted, that but for our
vote ho would have been beaten—and showing
that but for party feeling, our principles on that
paramount and all absorbing question, would have
triumphed by an immense majority.
state rights nomination.
We leard from the Georgia Journal, that the
Central Committee have nominated Col. Daw
son as the State Rights Candidate for Congress,
to supply the vacancy, in the next session, occa
sioned by the death of Gen. Coffee—“ on the
ground of his being the highest candidate on the
State Rights Congressional Ticket, and in all pro
bability elected to the next Congress.”—“ Maj.
Howard, (says the Journal,) is absent,but from
a letter we received from him a day or two since,
wo feel authorised to say, he declines a nomina
tion.”—As we proposed Maj. Howard for the
nomination, it may be proper to say, (indepen
dently of any considerations of his own on the
subject,) that inasmuch as Col. Dawson is elect
ed, and tho election of Maj. H. or any other man
from our party, would have been for one session
only, with an interval of two years, before he
could serve again, wo think the nomination of
Col. Dawson decidedly the best that could have
been made, on the grounds suggested, as above
quoted, since if elected, as we have no doubt he
will be, his term of service will continue on regu
larly, from the commencement of next session, till
the close of next Congress, when wo will he pre
pared to return him easily, in part of a full ticket of
Stale Rights men. The present election is the last
that the Union party can ever hope to gain. Let
them make the best of it. Wo certainly would not
exchange our prospects for theirs, including their
present success; and therefore the real triumph
of the present election is ours, not theirs. As lor
the men whom they have elected, the talents,
eloquence, and abilities of our one man, will pre
sent just such a contrast with theirs, as we should
desire the members of Congress to sec, that they
may so far judge between the two parlies of this
Slate.
MARIA MO.VK’B BOOK.
Can it possibly be true, that this infamous pub
lication is lor sale at the Bookstores of our city 1
For the sake of decency, morality, and virtue, we
trust not; or, if it is, that the venders have not
sufficiently reflected on the consequences of
spreading such a moral pestilence through socie
ty, and when they do so, will cither return it to
the publisher, or throw it into the fire or the river.
We have not read it, nor do we desire to do so;
but have seen enough of what has teen said of
it to form a proper estimate of its character, and
are satisfied that a more disgustingly indecent,
lewd, and obscene book, or one more calculated
to deprave tho moral sense of its readers, has never
appeared in print. .It is monstrous to think of
such a publication being openly for sale, and road
by all classes of community, even females, under
the pretext of investigating a public question ; and
still more monstrous, if possible, its being pub
lished, under the pretence of exposing iniquity,
(of which none can be worse than itself,) and
aiding the cause of religion and virtue ! Why,
even if the iniquities it pretends to expose exis
ted, (which nc no more believe, than that tho
meon is nude of green chcece,) they would not
do half the mischief to virtue and society gcncr- w
ally, confined within the walls of a convent, as »
this vitiations, useless, and unnecessary exposure h
of them, spreading itself over the whole face of so- a
ciely. Talk of believing it —the thing carries, n
not only persecution, bigotry, and wanton prosti- a
tution, but even yankee thrift, too plainly on its t
very face, to deceive any reflecting individual, (
Talk of exposing and suppressing vice, loo—sac- t
rilege, incest, rape, infanticide, and murder —in s
this -way! and this only.'.' Great God! do t
there not exist in every Christian country, laws, t
police, courts, jails, and the gallows, to suppress a
and punish crimes like these! And if the ina- t
niac-prostitutc and her religious abettors and co- t
sharers of the “ spoils,” who pul forth this mon- •
strous insult to the age, had been as much intent •
on exposing and punishing crime, as on pander- 1
ing to a lewd, higotted, persecuting, and cor- 1
rupt appetite, and thereby making money through ’.
the sale of a book which is said to have gone 1
through endless editions, think you not that in- I
stead of making this book, they would have gone I
before a magistrate of Montreal, and lodged such a <
regular charge of rape, murder, or infanticide, as 1
would not only have instantly opened every door .
of every Convent, if necessary, and subjected 1
every room to the inspection of the police, but if
proved, have brought the whole of the offenders
to the gallows. We say nothing of the utter
improbability of such a horrible and incredible
state of vice existing unknown and unpunished
in the riiiclst of a Christian country, and as refi
-1 ned, intelligent, and civilized a city, as any
on tbe''continent; it is sufficient for us, as wc
■ should suppose it ought to be to any unpreju
diced individual, that if such vices were known
to Maria Monk and her religious abettors, they
1 would of course, as you, wc, or any other person
1 would do, who really desired to suppress them,
1 go before a magistrate, and by lodging a charge
1 in proper form, bring forth the criminals to an
swer at the bar of justice. Think you there is
any license for murder in a Convent, more than
any where else 1
We say this should satisfy any unprejudiced
! individual—Aye, but alas 1 what Protestant is
' unprejudiced against Catholics, or prepared to
■ extend to them even and exact justice ! Look
’ at the burning of the Convent of Mount Bcne
-1 diet, and the publication of millions on millions
1 of copies of this infamous book, and then an
-1 swer! Wc are no Catholics, and have no par
! tialily for the Catholic forms and tenets of faith,
1 more than any other. We belong to no sect
1 whatever, and in religftrn, as in politics, and all
• else, think, judge, and act for ourselves, and pin
our faith to the sleeve of no sect or party. Wc
see in all, and all alike, under similar circum
■ stances, much to approve and much to con
demn, and our own religion teaches us to ap
■ prove and imitate what seems to us good, and a-
I void that which seems otherwise, wherever
■ they may be found, and even though found to
f gather. We respect and venerate all true reli-
I gion, but not mere party religion, any more than
party politics ; and of all things we abhor that
1 pretended and blashemous religion which per
■ sccutcs in the name of God, and professes to
i love God, while it hales a brother. Is this the
• religion of him who said, “How shall ye love
• Him whom ye have not seen, and hate your
i brother! He who declares that ho loves God,
i and yet hates his brother, is a liar in his heart, and
i the truth is not in him.” Is not God alike the
i Parent of the Catholic as well as the Protestant;
i and think you he distinguishes between his
i children on account of their mere forms and sec
’ tarian tenets of faith Ac worship I—Neither do wo
! entirely approve of Convents; but what of that;
• there is much also in Protestant forms aud to
; nets that we do not approve ; and in both, we
l consider these things, so far as they do not in
■ jure us or society, as matters between those who
approve them and their God ; and, doing as we
would be done by, “Judge not, lest me be judg
ed.” Between us and our God, we permit no
! man to interfere. Why, then, should we interfere
between others and Him!
> Butthoughwo are no Catholics, we are thorough
enemies to persecution of Catholics, as well as of
3 Protestants, and indeed to all persecution, in any
- and every shape or form, religious, personal, or
- political; and there is that in our nature that
. sides always with the persecuted, even though an
I infidel, whether wo will or no. When the Uni
, tarians first established themselves here and were
- persecuted by all others, except the Catholics,
3 wc took a Pew in their Church and attended it
- till that persecution died away, ami then, as they
3 needed our aid no longer, withdrew from them
- did precisely the same with the Catholic Church
i under similar persecution—and would as readily
i do the same with the Methodists, Baptists, or
3 any other sect, similarly persecuted.
f But for the Bool#— the Book indeed ! Sup
-3 pose any secret murder, should be discovered
s here, think you the person who discovered it
3 would wait till he or she had written a book, and
- had it printed and published, as the only, or best
1 way of bringing the criminal or criminals to jus
tice, and without attempting to do so in any other
f way !—or that such a thing would be tolerated,
t if done? Could any Convent here, if establish
-1 ed, hide or skreen the murderer, if the charge
t were believed! Well; does not the Convent in
r question, and its alleged murderers, exist, not on
-1 ly under similar laws, and in a similarly civilized
r country, but even in a Protestant country, and
> under the jealous influence and prejudice of the
■ Established Protestant Church, and think you
that that Church and its people could believe,
more than wc, here, the charges of that Book,
and yet allow that Convent to pass unscruti
nized, and its alleged murderers unarrested and
untried! What does all this prove! Why
. !hat the intelligent Protestant people and pub
! liu officers there, do not believe a word of the
s Bouk . but nevertheless do as the prejudiced Pro
; testant people would here, or any where else un
(■ der similar circumstances—wink at the imposi
, lion, because practised against the Catholics, and
r * cavo t *'° credulous mass to believe it, and, under
. *kcir religious horror and fanaticism, ally them
. selves still more closely to the Protestant church,
p persecute its opponents, and if possible shame
them out of their religion, and neutralize their
power and opposition.—Yet intelligent men ask
why the Convent has not been thoroughly ex
amined ! What a question! Why, for the on
- ly possible and natural reason, that the Book is ,
not believed by those mho have the official pow \
er to examine it. Assuredly, nothing else could
prevent such an examination. 1
The population of Canada is composed of c
French Catholics, the original Christian owners t
and natives of the soil, and the British Protcs- -
tanls, their conquerors, and mostly emigrants, g
who, though a small minority, are sustained a- d
gainst the others by ntf the patronage, influence, f
and office of (heir Protestant Government; and r
with this, and superior energy, industry, and pe r
severance in all the pursuits of life, but particu
larly the commercial ones, they maintain a bitter
and successful contest against the majority, and
manage to control them entirely, nnd persecute
and oppress them exceedingly. The native
C atholics vote them down at the polls, and in the
Colonial Legislature; but what of that, the bills
they propose cannot become laws, without the
sanction of the British Government; and thus
they can effect nothing without the will of
their English opponents and oppressors. They
are virtually strangers in their own land. With
a spirit and daring worthy of the patriotism which
actuates them, they had in 1834, (when wc were
there,) refused to vote supplies to the local gov
ernment for four or five years, during which
time all the government salaries, &c. were un
paid ; and commissioners were appointed that
year by the British government to go there and
enquire into and endeavor to settle the difficul
ties, but had not then arrived; and what was the
final result wc have not seen. Under such cir
cumstances it may naturally be expected, that the
bitterest political and religious, feelings and pre
judices existed and must still continue betweeri
the parties, since their general relations, at least,
whatever may be the state of the particular diffi
culty abovementioned, remain the same, and the
native parly is almost ripe for revolution, while the
other menaces it with thousands; of hireling cut
throats, and one of the largest and strongest for
tresses in the world ;'and that, however the latter
may really disbelieve the Book, they will pretend
to believe it, for party purposes, and to gratify
their deeply excited political, religious, national,-
and personal prejudices and hates.
While in Canada wc visited several of thd
Convents of Quebec and Montreal, and among
them, if we mistake not greatly, the one in ques
tion ; and, though of course not admitted to their
secret recesses, wc saw many of their female inha
bitants passing and repassing, whose whole ap
pearance, as well as that of the males, was such
as to inspire profound respect, nnd unlimited con
fidence in the unaffected and sincere piety of their
religion, and the unspotted purity of their course
of life. It is a gross mistake, to suppose that their
lives are passed in indolence, except so far as de
voted to religious worship. The society (if wo
mistake not, of each Convent,) is devoted either
to education, charity, needle-work, or support of
the destitute old, young, infirm, or sick; and such,
combined with religion, are the ostensible objects
of all Convents; which thereby supply the pla
ces, among Protestants, of Hospitals, Poor-houses,
Frcc-schools, and Lunatic, Orphan, and Deaf and
Dumb Asylums, &c., and find continual em
ployment for their religious inmates. At the lime
wc visited those in Canada, the Cholera was ra
ging there, and especially in Quebec and Mon
treal ; and while probably nothing landed more to
alleviate the numerous afflictions and miseries
that accompanied it than the existence of these
Convents, we heard them frequently, even among
the Protestants, the theme of heartfelt praise, and
have no doubt they wore a peculiar blessing to the
community—affording a ready' and willing asy
lum to the numerous bereaved and destitute or
phans, and administering daily to the wants of
the poor and afflicted. If we mistake not, the
Hotel Dieu Nunnery in question, is the one situa
ted nearly between the now Market and the river ;
in which we witnessed a scene that ought to put
its slanderers to the deepest shame, & surely would
do so if they were to visit it. In addition to its
female inmates, (several of whom were passing
to aud fro, busily engaged in the usual avoca
tions of the day.) were some hundred or more
decrepit old men and women, and orphan chil
dren of both sexes, all plainly but neatly dad,
and manifesting an air of general content and
happiness truly gratifying, and far more attractive
than we ever witnessed in any Protestant Poor
house or Orphan Asylum. Feeding, clothing,
nursing and educating these, and manufacturing
various articles of fancy needle-work, &c. which
are exposed to visiters for sale, constitute of
course the principal duties of the religious sister
hood, independently of their religious ones, and
the necessary provision for themselves ; nnd thcftc,
all combined, must of course leave them little or
nojeisure time. An intelligent old man with a
wooden leg, who was selected to attend us be
cause he spoke the English language—French
being the ordinary language of the Catholic Ca
nadians spoke of the uniform kindness and hos
pitality of the establishment, and the happiness
and content enjoyed by himself and fellow-in
mates, with an evident gratitude that excited our
kindest feelings, and in common with all else that
we saw of them, impressed us with very different
opinions and feelings toward convents, to what
wc had ever hold or experienced before. The
whole aspect of every thing we witnessed, in this
and other similar institutions, was such as vice can
never assume or long retain ; and if those who
ignorantly lavish their abuse on Catholics <t con
vents, were only to see and judge for themselves,
instead of from the deep prejudices, false state
ments, and cruel persecutions of others, such in
famous falsehoods as those of Maria Monk, to
say nothing of her lewd indecencies, would bo
spurned at once out of existence, as an insult to
society.
The idea of such a horrible stale of habitual,
unrestrained lewdnoss and murder, as that alleged
by Maria Monk, existing undiscovered for ages,
in the midst of Christian society, and assuming:
and preserving the external air of meek, quiet,
unpresuming piety and holiness, is not only in
consistent with the justice of God himself, but at
war with every known principle of human na
ture. Who ever heard of a long course of quiet
harmony and smothered vice, in a lewd brothel;-
amid all its madly exciting jealousies and bates ! -
One vicp necessarily leads to others, and none
to more, than lewdness ; which not only Speeds >
drunkenness, jealousy, hate, and revenge, but that
violence of conduct necessarily springing from
them, and beastly vulgarity of aspect and demea
nor, which no convent in Christendom, however
deep and strong its recesses, could long smother
or hide from the community around ; and it j,
well known that in female character, particularly,
there is no medium between virtue and vice—no
depth of the latter so profound, into which a loss
of the former will not soon plunge it, and expose
it to the world, in spite of all restraint.
But what if the “awful exposures” were-true,
why spread their shockingly gross details before
the eyes of decent and virtuous people !—why
open a charnel house, to spread disease- over a
healthful community ! And what is any physi
cal disease, to that worst of moral ones Which
this infamous book disseminates wherever it goes
—a disease fraught with the most rapid conta
gion, aud certain and fearful of deaths the
death of all that is pure or good in humanity ;
for certain it is, that a blow at morality, is a blow
not only at all religion, but all else that make*
