FROM THE BISHOP OF CHARLESTON.
Ckarlbstox, Sept. 17, 1840.
■ Gcrtb-meii—I was yesterday honored with your
invitmiun of Aug. 28, tu nract tlra Vice President of
lira United Slates on tho 28th iu«t. nt Doiruit.
Tlra compliment which you puy him is one of
thiMU poliiicnl tnovi-men's lioin which I havu kopt
aloof, tliout>h I um tree to cottfo-s my op oimi i»,
that dra administration of tehich he forint to com
spirnout a part, hat urled for the benefit of onr
Union, and does not dtserve the vituperation with
which it is a stalled.
It may petit ip* lend to show the spirit of some of
i : * opponents.when *0 humble tin individual a* 1 um,
it ud for *0 mmy years a citizen,though 1 must confess
to lira rrimo ol"having been horn in a dismal lund,
and nf having voluntarily cornu hither, daro not ex
pre*s this simple opinion without l»-ing denounced
in unmcrstirmi terms,and the person* whose religion
I teach, threatened withoMctmimition if it he dis*
Covered llmt/roin any cause dim e shall b" found 11
majority in favor of Mr. Van Uurcn in uny district
where Cuiholicsnre niiir.eious.
1 have ,iifleied insult utnl oppression under lit*
penal coda against my religion in Ireland, and I
curno hMierflatleiiiix ntytolf with the rxp"cln:ion
that therecxUtcdat.least freedom of thought, and
liberty for any citizen to express Id* opinions that
the public officers of tbe Union w ere not guilty of
that mul-udminisnatiun which was imputed tn dram
by their competitor*. 1 liuve been more thut. once
convinced nf my mistake; nnd if my religion
and iuptofersorsiiru to Ira made the vie ims of my
imagining llmt in our repuhPc, Cnthnlirs, Ijke other
citizen*, had liberty of poliiicnl opinions,expression
and uciiun, I would fur prefer being again iu my
former position; for tlra Urong-urn in Ireland is
inetcy compared to tbo insoluncu of thute who hen
insult us by their expressions of kititlt ess nml con
desccnsion, whilst they threaten us with extcimiua
don unless we sto»p to be their alttves.
I um aware,gentlemen, that they who nre thus
drapturad in our icgttrd, tin nut form the American
people, but 1 know thut tiny nro mimemus nml ac
tive, utnl 1 should regret for dra snke of our rcpuhli
ran institutions, that they had the power to work
tlrair will. They would indeed begin with tlra Csllt
ultns, but others w ould auuti feel the effects uf their
success.
I tukc tho liberty uf sending you a couple of nn-
per* w hich will show the uccusion of my remarks.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
With grent respect,
Yuurnb’t humble servant,
