The Dishop admits the Catholics have shown little sympathy for Kossuth. Be thanks Kosmath for proving that the Catholics have Mo interest to bind them to the Czar, who, so far from endeavoring to propagate Catholicism, is declared by Kossuth to be its relentless persecutor, The Bishop etates that probably no country that has not opeoly avowed perrecution, has been so hostile in diplomacy as Austria, it being only within two years that the church obtained from this power freedom, which the Roman Pontiff had vainly crossed the Aly to ens for at Vienna. The Bishop exprestos sympathy for that country, half of whose population are Catholic, and the bright ast pages of who#e history are adorned with the Dames conspicuous for their devotion to the Chutsh. ‘The country of St. Stephen axed St. Elizabeth must have o place io every Catholic heart, ew of us are ruil ciently acquainted with the grounds of the late steugyle for independence to form any confident opinion of itn snerits, but all with Hungery an increased mopsare of happiness, and gladiy should we hear of {ts prospert- %y, a8 our ryropathy in ite misfortuas has been fheartfeit.

JUDGE CONKLIN'S DECISION ON THE MOTION TO QUASIE THE INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE RIOTERS. Aunany, January 80, 1352 It will be seen by the following that the Byracuse riot cases have been sent by Judge Conkiia for « hearing before Judge Nelson, in the Gircult Court, st Canandaigua, in June next, At the opening of the Court this morning, Judge Conklin observed that this being the time designated by him, at which he would endeavor to dispose of » motion to quash certain indict ments, twelve in number, depending in the Court, he ‘would now proceed todo so, The indictments ,in each of these cases, are for aiding in the escape, and also for the Teecue of an alleged fugitive from labor and service, on the first day of October last, at the city of Syracuse, Oa the second day of the term motions were made to quash the indictments, for reasons set forth in the numerous affidavits, At the request of the counsel for the United Btates, copies of there aflidavits wore directed to be for- warded to them, and time was given to them to obtain counterafidavits On the adjourned day the counsel ofthe United States objected to the reading of the affidavits upon which the motion was founded, on the ground that they were not entitled, and time was then given to defeudanis to supply this cmission, and to have the affidaviis re- sworn. Owing chiefly to these delays and to the great number of cbjections made to these lndiotmenta, but partly, alro, to the somewhat discursive line of argament which the learned counsel raw fit to pstaty the disous- sion was not concluded until the eighth day of the term, T have devoted time to the examination of these ohjes- tions, and all the attention which the brief period allotted for thet purpore, interrupted as it has been by other duties, has permitted. None of tnem are uuimpartant in their nature, or so obviously untenable as to be un- worby of consideration; and some o/ them present quos- tions of great importance. and, iv my delibarate opiaion, of very considerable difficulty, The task of deciding them thorefore, 1s one of great responsibility, But while Lbave no right or disposition to evade aay responsibility imposed upon me by law, I am us Little dispored, volua- tarily, to enewer any which I am permitted, by law, becomingly to avoid Therefore it was that L took over. sion, at the elote of the argument. to state, that should the question before me appear, on further considaration, to ke such as to warrant my eo doing, [ might pouibly determine to transmit the indictments to the Cirevit Court, pursuant to the provisions of the act of August 6th, 1646, ch, 98.
