NEW YORK HERALD. ee New York, @unday, October 26, 1845. Arrival of the Great Western, The Great Western is now in her fifteenth day.— She invariably arrives on Sunday,and we may,there- fore, expect her to-day. New and Singular Movement in the Catho- ile Charch—Influence of Republicanism on Ecelesinstical Systems, We perceive by the western newspapers that a movement has recently originated in Cincinnati, amongst the Catbolies there, which is singularly sig- nifieant of the influence exercised by the republi- can institutions of this country upon the religious systems transplanted from Europe to the virgin soil of this new world, Tnis movement, indeed, is one of the most interesting signs of the times, and opens up a new and exceedingly interesting field of inves- tigation to the attentive and philosophic student, of the progress of the human mind to an era of more enlarged liberty and power. Tt seems that a church bas been organized in the rising and flourishing city of the west, in direct and avowed opposition to the domination of the Pope of tome, und the hierarchy of the ancient Catholic charch. A number of the most intelligent and in- fluencial adherents to the Catholic faith in that re- gion, have associated themselves together, for the purpose of worshipping the God of their fathers ac- cording to the prescribed form and ceremonial of ihe ancient creed, but in perfect indepen- dence of the papal see, and of all the dignitaries generally recognized in the United States, by the professors of that fai h in the United States. All allegiance to the respectable successor of Peter, located in the * eternal city,” is thrown off by ‘hese reformers, and the paternal authority o! the bishops and priesthood is most independently setaside. But the distinctive tenets of the Catholic church are to be rigidly maintained—the rites, cere- monies and sacraments of the venerable ecclesiasti- eal mother are to be retained; and in all respects, except pipal allegiance, the new church is to be a duriful and well-behaved child of the holy Catholic family. A priest, duly accredited, and regularly au- thorized 10 minister at the altar, is to preside over the congregated faithful in the beautiful city of the west, and the solemn and imposing ceremonial of the church isto be adhered to in every particular. But the Pope, and the Bishop, and the hierarchy are to be most undutifully and ynceremoniously set aside. In fact, an independent Catholic church is to be organized, and each man walk to paradise in his own way, with only the Bible, and the burning and shining hghts of the past to guide him on his journey. We are not sure but a movement of this kind will spread very rapidly in this country amongst the Ca. tholies Hitherto the Catholic church in this coun- try has adhered to its aliegiance to Rome, chiefly because the supplies of clergy and not unfrequently of money—the sinews of religious as well as of phy- sical warfare—come from abroad. But as soon as the Catholies in this country are wealthy enough to | found colleges—and manufacture priests—and build churches—and support their own seminaries of learn- ing—and raise up their own ministers to serve at the | atar, they will universally absolve themselves from their allegiance to Rome, and organize their whole ecclesiastical system on perfectly independent prin- ciples. The natural and inevitable tendency of the repub- lican institutions of this country, is to create in all departments of human life a spirit of freedom and independence. We see this every day in our scier- tific mstitutions—in our Iiterary associations—in al! our unions of men for any purpose—and last, not least, in our religious organizations. Thus for in- studce, we see the Episcopal church in the United States—instead of being the insolent, overbearing, oppteseive, ecclesiastical system that it isin Great Britaia—a modest,humble, harmless affair, confining \teell to ite proper limits, and seeking to propagate its views and doctrines by the only weapons author- by the founder of Christianity, argument, good works, and prayer. The priesthood are not regard- ed im this country as commissioned by divine au- thority to rule over the consciences and actions of men, They are estimated at their proper value, in | proportion to their usefulness and fidelity. Thus ir hisbeen with the clergyof all the Protestant churches; and now, at last, the spirit of independence and free- dom—vof rebellion, if you please—against anything like spiritual despotism, begias to manifest itself in the ancient Catholic church Thus it would appear that the singular movement recently comm-need ia Germany, under the leader- ship ot Ronge, has been communicated to the United States. We doubt not that once begun it will go on {t is one of those impulses of human nature that must proceed to a successful issue. It is one of those periodical uprisings of humanity against des- pote authority—one day hurling a tyrannical king— | ‘other day deposing a spiritual despot—from his throve of oppression. So we have every reason to vchev that the time is fast approaching when we | wulhave an American Pope. Why not? And an , American Catholic Council, American Catholic Car- Ginale, and American Catholic every thing, on our own hook. And again, we ask, why not? Troveves tn THe Ertscopan Cuvrouw —We pub- lish in this day’s paper a very curious letter from the country, giving ap account of the troubles in the Episcopal church. It appears to be the production | of one who thinks the Bishop has been “more sinned againat than sinning.” We are of opinion that the Bish« sinned more than many of his breth rem ; but we rather think he has sinned “some.” ) is Very true that these sins were committed sever:] years ago, and according to the Holy Scriptures, the Proverbs, we think, there isa time tosin and a time to repent. We are disposed to think, there- fore, that recently the Bishep has repected, and has no as all repentant sinners are much more val- ued in the church than those who have never sinned at all, we think the Bish- | opentitled to be considered as one of those that ought to be very highly elevated indeed, in the es teem of all the saints of the present day. Are. claimed sinner is a valuable prize in these days, and particularly if that sinner be a Bishop it doubles the value of the prize, and makes him almost equal to a hundred thousand dollars in the Maryland Lottery, drawn by some poor devil in Canal street that had aot the wherewithal to purchase a dinner. MACKENZIE A@AIN.—Mackenzie has written an- other long letter to the Tribune, addressed to Marey, and professing to touch up that worthy on sundry points of his past career. Mackenzie knows nothing of Marcy or his history, and his long epistle is a tissue of absurdity and egotism. —$—$__ Omio Erection —The Whigs in Ohio have elected sufficient to give them a majority in all branches of the State Government.

Prof. B. has treated all his topies with ability, candor, and zeal. He has | put the claims of the system on the ground of philo- | | sophical truth, a8 one that addresses itself to the Reason, while at the same uine, it preserves all due deference to Faith. He pleads strongly for its Ca- tholie character, as offering a broad platform for the union of all christian secte who hold fundamentally the Head, and receive the Scriptures the in- fallible Word of Truth. Its leading characters are Chanty—love to God and to thy neighbor—and the prominence given to Life, as the ail in all of reli | | gion, leaves little room for debate about doctrinals’ In the lecture last evening, he considered Sweden- | borg’s doctrine of an internal, or spiritual sense,ulte- | thor to,the letter. This, he said, grew out of the fact of man’s having a spiritual nature implanted, or rather opened, by regeneration, and which can only be tedand sustained by a spiritual sense, This did | not militate with the historical truth of the letter, nor does it imply that Swed enborg’s interpretations amount to a new revelation, They merely unfold ; the inner sense of the revelation already given.— | This sense is wrapped up in the literal as the soul is included in the body, or as affection is indicated by | | the aspect of the face. inward lite of the. rej | The matter ma; know that the caterpil enwrepped within it a buttert be deveioped out of it, and when d upos another mode of life—e life to be sustuii media than that of its parent worm.

The application of | all this to the case in hand is very obvious. In | regeneration the internal spiritual man is quickened | into incipient vitality, and beginy to crave the ap- propriate food upon which it must live when sepa- tated from bie present fleshly integuments. The naturel man, answering to the creeping worm, re- ives the grosser literal sense. The spiritual man, by @ extracts his needful pabulum out of t nse of the letter.

It will no doubt be conceded that there is such a thing a# A spiritual sense. But how shall regard to any that which the Holy Ghost really intenced in the original inditing of the Word ? Que man propounds one thing as the spiritual sense—another, another. How shali | we choose between them? How shall we be sure that either is the correct one ? If Swedenborg is to be believ- ed, he was in a speci-1 manner impowered by the divine | teaching, in bis supernatural state, to preclude all mis. take on this head by giving the genuiwe spiritual sense the fundamental paneiples on wiich it rests, “This prin ciple is no other than that of Correspondence, to which I nave already adverted in former lecture, and which | propose now to unfold a little more iuily.

The ruling affection of its nature displays itself in its entire conformation and habitude, and it is imposible not to see how admirably tne form, ¢rganization, and expression correspond with its essential qualities. The qualitves cause the form, aud it would be diticult to conceive of the form being ditle: rent a8 long as the qualities were the same. In vome | parts of his writings Swedenborg goes largely into the ‘orms of affection, with what he terms their appropriate seience or instinct. ‘They all possess the knowledge which is suited to their dominant affection, assures us that, throughout the unive: tion is the true ground of being thought or intellect is entirely subordinate.

He was gla! to see 4 minister go to the ballot box aad cast his vote for ‘no acense.” He loved to hear his minister talk about reli- gion in the pulpit—and he wanted his example in correct uaues as a political man. But he hoped the friends of temperance would act kindly. Do not despise, or deal y with those who are still involved in the great wrong of promot intemperance. He was once a ieunkard aod ram . He had been the tool of the political demagogues of the county, and had used his li- quot to buy votes—but he was @ Christian now, and should do 0 no more. Reason, firmness, honest action, consistency, will do the work. Tev.
