Congress, which has heretofore left the question of suffrage to the States themselves did not think it necessary to incorpo rate it im the fundamental law of the land, hence you are not called upon to vote upon this subject, You may xet the public mind ready for it at some future time, and when you do I shal! be ready with you there, The question now is the adoption of the constitutional amendment. You certainly will pet quit your friends and go over to your enemies in this struggle be- Gause those friends did not place the iseze upon as high & ground as ropreannted by your individual opinion, those friends of freedom who with Congress had taken higher ground I would say perhaps that would have de- feated the whole thing. It was perhaps wise to leave ‘thle question where tt has always been left, with the States themselves.

And further- more that while these terms sall mot be unrea- sonable they shali be such as will make treason odious. And 1 further sa that the people ought to protect ‘ue freedmen, I believe these things to be imperative obligations en the country, and T am with the party that inscribe thes upon its banners and opposed to every man and every party that will not do 80. At the clove of his discourse, Dr. Spear gaid he deeply regretted the necossity of uttering one word ad- verse to the ofticial acis of the ehict of this mation, and under ordinary circumstances he would not have done #0, But there were uot ordinary circumstances, and he advised his bearers to speak and vote this mostter through, and prayed @ to save the couptry in its hour of peril.

Bishop Loe, of Jowa, at the Church of the Incarnation, corner af ‘Twenty Uhird street and Madison avenue. The reverend gentlomay proceeded to show the extent to which many people were led astray under the vomviction that they were following the dictates of conscience. Some were possewed of m selfish, some of a partial, and others of « scrupulous conscience. Sincerity did not always make an action right. Persons might be mncere in com mitting sets of the greatest crime, and sincerity in error waa no excage wuen we have ineans of knowledge. ‘The learned divine concluded his able discaurse by urg- img upon his hearers the necessity of walking carefully beore God and always having ® conecieuce void of offenes towards God and towards man, and showing » desire to be instructed in the ways of truth.

Charles B. Smyth on the Viees of the Cleray. A large and respectable congregation attended at the afternoen service at this church yesterday, when a very interesting and well treated address was delivered by ‘the pastor on the vices of the clergy. The greatest atten- tion was ‘paid to it throughoat. ‘The clergyman, after reading the twenty-third chapter of Matthew, said he World choose no text, as he intended to give @ lecture and not a sermon, because it allowed a liberty in dealing with the subject which could aot with propriety be taken in a sermon. His discourse was not prepared Specially for the occasion, but was first delivered two bundred miles distant, po remarks were in- vended to be in the slightest degree of a personal charao- ter. In speaking of the vices of the clergy the first uestion that arose was, whe were meant by the clergy? 'n olden times, among the Jews, the eyes Lavites, ecribes and doctors of the church were their clergy. When Christ amd instituted bis Church he’ established @ new order of clergy, commencin; with the Apostics. The lecturer then re: from Philippians, second chapter, end First Timothy, third chapter, first, seventh and thirteenth verses, -¢: planatory of what were denominated the clergy of the Church of Christ. The ciergy of the present time might be divided into two classee—teachers and dictators, com- monly-called ministers, and ruling elders and deacons, frequently including trustees. Now as to the vices of these men, The word vice meant literally a fauit or defect, and was a serious matter when it referred to a class of men who were teachers ia the church of our Lord and Saviour. Wher they retiected on the qualifica- tions of the elders in the olden time they might reasona- bly expect to find men celebrated for virtue, earnest piety, great zeal and common sense. If they bad not those.qualities, why should they have been appointed to the office? Yet in the time of Christ the crimes of these menewere so enormous that when the woman who was wht in adultery was'brought by them before Him, He d, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone;” and when He demapded of the woman who were her .accusers they ali slunk sway, self-condemned and conscious of vbhelr own guilt The clergy in tho Christian Church which then sprung up were dif- ferent men—none could be found more holy than were the Apostles and first teachers of the Gospel. But after @ time corruptions sprung up and continued to spread and spread until the time of Martin Luther, when cor- ruption and crime in the church had become univers It was this that stirred the soul of Luther, who origt ated then the religion now kuown as the Protestant, Protestantism then rescued the church from the de- proved position it occupied. And whoever travelled in foreign lands could see there was at present in Protest- aut countries more morality and a higher tone of honor thav those in which the Catholic religion was professed. We all had a great respect for the clergy as a class on aceount of their office, especially and personally for such among them as are content to preach the Gospel truty, faithfully, fervently and earnestly, and to practise its duties, But for those whe neg- lected to do #0, antl who perverted the worl of God, and made it void by their traditions he bad no more respect than Christ bad when He censured the hypocrites of His day. It should be remembered that the clergy were men of like passions with the rest of mankind, But from their own observation they conld see the Protestant clergy now-a-days were not generally guity of the vices others were. But there were still many faulls to which, a3 a class, they were peculiarly addicted. The first was the want of proper business bahits and common sense, Some time since be had a conversation with @ gentleman who made a remark that Strack him aa being very proper. Said he, * ‘y do not mix sufficiently with the people. They put them- selves above and keep aloof from other men; they spead their days pouring over books and studying, and ghnt themselves up like monks* in a cloister, and when they come out am! mingle m pociety | they are not regarded as men and taken by the hand and talked to as other men are, {hey should throw away thir excinsiveness and mingle with other men, und the resalt would be they would jearn a great deal more of what was going on in the world than they otherwise would. The second vice of the clergy ‘was false oar ages might be ut two heads, the pene God and the religton of the devil. The religion of God was found in the Bible and in nature. The religion of God was found under either of two general heads—the retigion of the priest, which was the same in Paganism, Mobamedanism, Popery and Pusey- fam; and the religion of the philosopher, which was the same among stoics, modern deists, atbeists, sceptics, theologians and rationalistic theologians. riesteraft. taught all people w apply to the priest for advice on every subject, and to have no will of their own, and to think that without the priest: nothing could be done. ‘The evilk of this system wore witnessed in ibe decay of Catholic countries. Another defect was perverting the trath by preaching politics instead of the Gospel, and continvally impressing on their hearers the political dogmas of the parties to which they belonged. This was the case four years ago among the secessionists of the ~onth, and among other clergymen in the North, and they had all seen the result since, Not that he condemned that geouino pairiotism which beat in the breast of every true Ameri- can citizen. Every man in this land loved his country and that a which came nearest of any other to on earth original form given by tod to the Jewe at the time of And the time would come when not only North America and South Am but the wi world would be all one vast United States under the one glorious banner of liberty. In reference, however, to the manner of teaching, very few of the cle preached at all, did something that was called preaching, but which were rly essays; and he would find a sehoolboy atteuding one of the academies who could write just am good an essay as any of them. The preach- ers spent their time during the week preparing their Sunday addresses, which he could com to beautiful flower gardens sprinkled over with and bouquets, but with nothing good and substantial for the mind to digest, floated away in the clouds, and painted pictures im the skies far above the heads of thetr congre fae but they «did not touch on every day life and ries thelr instructions home to the hearts of their bearers. Auother groat defect on the part of the clergy was not to practise what they preached. They belived there was « terrible day of judgment to come, when all men ted account for their deeds on earth, or were they doing to prepare people for t "day & man was passing the great tire which occurred the night before and saw the people in the honses in flames he would not stand till and say, “Oh, | wish the poor peopie were ont of that,’ but he wonld gire the alarm and call the fire. men, and go to work and get the people out. So xhould the clergy go to work in hke manner, Now the eilect of these vices on the part of the clergy was to throw the io- fluence they before bad into the hands of the press. Tet any look at the superiority of the prese #! present. And it would not be at ali strange if the im becile and useless clergy were set aside und the prese whieb eves at this time lax taken their places in some respects, substituted fu their stead.

From that bour the fire rapidly abated, but smouldered still among the crushed and biackenod ruins as late as six o'clock yesterday morping. ‘The watis of biue stone have firmly withstood the flames with the exception of some slight damages in- curred by the falling of the beams and roofing. A number of new facts noi yet made public were obtained yesterday from the clergymen of the «hurch, PROPERTY SAVED PROM THE FURR From thein it is ascertained that all the moveable articles were borne out of the church and saved. All the vestanents, chalices, plates and books were removed before the tiames could reach them. The vestments for pontifical ceremonies brouztt on by Bishop Bacon, of Portland, and bought by the late Archbishop Hughes, and valued at $3,000, were all saved. The chulices were all removed in time. Some of these were very good ones, and one of them especially was decorated with precious stones. They were valued at $1,000. The old baptismal font was hauled ont, | bat with considerable difficulty, having been tugged at with the enthusiasm of Trojans by two citizens, who, unable to overcome its inertia, called the as- sistance of a number of others, and rescued it from the flames, much to the graufication of all interested in the church; not so much ov agcount of its intrinsic value as because of the many sacred associations which cluster around it, during fifty ycars of use. All the books of the school were saved, as alao were the missals. There were about five hundred men, women and children dur- ing the progress of the fire engaged in bringing out the moveable articles, and manifesting by their zeal and ‘activity the alfection in which the church and its associ- ations were hold by the people connected w.th its minis- trations. Both the crosses, though made of wood, wore by a strange freak of the flames saved from any material injary. Ono fell down, as the stones on which it rested were displaced, and the other still stands, unscoxched, although both of them were completely encircled with e crackling fire, This i lent recalls a similar one that occurred in Philadelphia during the Native Ameri- can riots in 1848, when t. Augustime’s chuich was destroyed. Its architecture of wood had been burned, and its massive walls toppied into ruinous heaps on the ground below, with the exception of a small enclosure over the altar, In this there was an emblematic picture of an eye, with the words, “And the Lord seth,” inscribed "below it, which were mira preserved amid the general ruin that surrounded them. he altar, which was expensively decorated, was completely destroyed, thongh its moveable ornaments, consisting of valuable candlesticks, candela- bras, vases, &c., were removed in time, TAK BURIAL VAULTS. Underneath the structure which was enveluped in flames the winter stock of coal, consisting of forty tons, was placed in fearful proximity to the burial vaults, wherein lie the venerated remains of three eminent pre- lates, The fire bud made rapid procvess towards this part of the building, but no ignition of the coal took place, and no disturbance whatever to the vaults, the firemen preventing either by copious streams of water, HOUSES OVPOSITE. When the fire first began lie wind blue the flames to. wards the houses on the opposite side of Muiberry street, which were intensely heated, but drenchea with water from the steamy fire engines, Even th's, howevor, would have been inoffectual had not the wind shortly after the fire commenced shifted a tite aud carried the glowing sparks in another direction. By this fortunate circumstance the schoam house which bad also bewn in imminent dangeg was saved from (otal destruction, PERSONS INJURED AT THK ¥TKK. At the time the flames were first discovered tte sexton, was found as speedily as possible and the clergyman and four parishioners immediately proceeded to the roof and endeavored to quench the flames with buckets of water. On coming down they fell. through a e, @ distance ‘of about twenty feet, sustaining some iyuries, Their names conld not be asceriained, They then groped their way through the smoke, which nearly suffocated them, and finally succeeded in extricating themagives after having lost their way in the darkness. One fireman, ata later hour, was taken out of the charch nearly suftocated and with his arm badly injured by the falling of a beam. The sexton, in bis haste to remove the valuables, fell down a staircase about fourteen feet and was nearly killed. DESTRUCTION OF THE ORGAN. ‘The organ which bad been used in this church was a very valuable one; more, however, ou account of the excellence of its tone and construction than because of its mere cost in money. It was nearly new, and was purchased for $6,500 in cash, together with the old organ, which had been bought many years ago for $6,000, making the value of the one de fire at least $10,000. It was manofactured in the city. : USTIMATED LOB, Tt in estimated that the damage created by the fire will approximate $70,000, against wi there is an insurance of $51,000. It13 believed thas the old walls are stro enough to be refitted. in which cage the generosity o| those interested will not be appealed to to an extent be- youd twenty or twenty-five thoneand doliars. It is ex. pected that the work of rebuilding wil! commence almost immediately, and be comple‘ed in five of six mouths, ‘The Vicar General, Rev. Fatuer Starrs, pastor of the hedral, telegraphed to Rev. Dr. Mosweeny last even- ing {rom Baltimore that be would arrive in this city this morning, to initiate a tem arrangement for tbe future services of the parish. It ix provable that one of the chapels will be used for a time, or ove of the many halls in the neighborhood. ORIGIN OF THR FIRB. Many aud conflicting rumors were in cifouiation as to the cause of the fire, some believing it to have resulted from the act of an incendiary, and others that it was cauned by the explosion of a xu pipe in the building. But clear and positive evi- dence existe on this subject to prove that it resulted from the falling of » spark upon the roof of the cathodral from the store of (. G. Gunther & Sons. An Irishman, Whose name could not be ascertained, asserted positively that he saw the very epark thet kindled » flame on the roof, and seeing which he gave the alarm, and urged that the doors of the building should be bro- ken open; But be was prevailed npon by others to wait until the sexton could be found, This occupied half an hour, during which the flames rapidly and gained such headway that, notwithetanding only ® short time elapsed belore the fire engines were secured, ibe strac ture wae destroyed. Had the woors bean barst open there ix bat little dowht that the flames wonld have easily yreided to the efferts of those first upon the prem. lew. ISCWRNIN AT OUR RURSING, As soon as the danger go the cathodral was known the Rev. lire. Mullen, Maguite and MceSweeny, and Mr. Do- jan, instantly repaired to ‘he interior of the edifice and commenced the removal of articles of elurch wor- ship, which were deposited in the vetry. They sneceeded im removing (wo stoles, two sops, two tabernucles, the chalices, mix — chiagubler, and other articles and decorutions of the altar, Wh. engaged in removing the © from the central aide the huge chandolicr fell on the very spot which they bed bat a few moments before wenpied, Warned by this they fled to the door, which they had barel; when the roof fell with a tremendous crash. pile the cathedral wae burning the rear of a butiding ai No 27 and, tearing the binds from the # ww end removing the adjacent woodwork, succeeded quenching the flames, About the time the fire broke out a man was seen emerging from the bo: ve, and was arrested on sus- SS by ap officer of the Fourteenth met, oD rosby vtreet.

The ca- wed rig yg which had been Borrowed at rate of seven per cent per annum was paid on this sum. It was a burden that prevented the support of a sufficient number of priests or the erection of a seminary. ‘The Right Rev. Jobn Connelly, a uative of Drogheda, Ireland, who had been appointed Bishop of New York in 1514, in succes- sion to Dr. Concannen, died at bis residence, No, 512 Broadway, on the 5th of February, 1825, aud was buried veathedral, not far from the altar. For two days bis remains in state in the central aisle of St Peter’s church, ‘irty thousand persons visited the church on ion. For two years after the death of Dr, Connolly the see remained vacant, Its affairs during that period were administered by the Very Rev. Jobn Power, — The Rev. Jobn Du Bois, President of St. Mary’s College, was selected by the Pope to succeed Bishop Connolly in the diocese of New York. Dr. Du Bois was a Frenchman, born in Paris, in August, 1764. He was conzecrated on the 29th of October, 1836, in the ¢athedral of Baltimore. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, og him a cross and ring. Dr. Du Bois, soon after he jad taken charge of the diocese, mado a'yisitation. He computed the number of ‘Catholics in the™ city at that time at fifty thousand, and one bun- dred and fifty thousand in the’ whole diocese. There were but four churches in the city; old St. Peter's, Mt. Patrick’s, the old Chureh of St. Mary's, in Sheritf street, bouvht from the Presbyterians in 1826, and Christ church, in_Apn street, purchased from the Episcopalians in 1827. The Uhurch of St. , corner of Grand and Ridgo streets, was built in 1832-38, the old one on Sheriff street having been burned in 1831. Christ church, in Ann streot, was found to be insecure in 1833, It was, therefore, discontinued as a place of worship, and steps were taken for the erection of St. James’ church, in James street. It was completed in 1837. In 1834 St. the Bapiist was built in 1839 in Thirteenth street; St, uration, in Chaubers street, in 1856. Dr. Hughes was consecrated Coadjutor Bishop of New York on the 9th of January, 1838, aud in 1842 Dr. Du Bois, whose health had been fuiling for some time, died at hia residence in Muiberry street. On the 9th of May, Hughes blessed the now Church of St, John the , ist, on the corner of ‘oth street and Fifth aven'e, and on St. Patrick’s Day, 1842, the addition which had been made to Si. Patrick's Caciedral, forming the new sanctuary and sacristies. Tne Church of St. Vincent de Paul (mostly used by French residents), in Canal street, was completed in 1842, and eniarged and adorned in 1850, and the Chureh of the Most Holy Re- deemer, with ite fine convent and schools, in 1853. Sueh'are the history and associations connecied with this vencrable structure, which, although seriously dam- aged by the conflagration, possesses still enough of its foriver appearance to suggest ail that is memorable and laid, and on Ascension day, 1815, it was | noon, al halt-pust om three and | noon, at four o'clock. attractive in its record, and diseloses enough stability in its wails to warrant a speedy respons? from the generesity of the people, in order that it may be refitted and avain adapted to its original purposes, And in the meantime it is to be boped that the new structures on Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets will be rapidly completed. As there is much interest maui- sested in this new cathedral, 2 summary of its origin and history ts appended :— THY. NEW ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. The foundation stone of ibis siructure, which it is proposed to erect on Fiftieth and Fifty-fret streets, was laid on the 15th of August, 1858, in the presence of an immense multitude, The tate Most Rev, Dr. Hughes, Cathoke Areht op of New York, preached the sermon suitable to the occasion. In consequence of the rebellion, which absorbed almost every other interest of the co ary, very slow progress indeed has been made in the buildiag, which, when finished, if the piaus be not de- parted from, will be the Jinest ecclesiast cul structure in America, and far superior to many in Europe. The Yength of the building will b ) teot from bultress to buttress. Inside the wails it will be 301 feet. The boty of the editice will be 121 feet brond, and its greatest breadth at the transept 144 feet. The height from the tloor to the crown of the arched coiling will be 110 feet, and 54 feet from the floor to the crown of the side aisles. Along the sid* isies there are to be fourteen chapels. each seventeen fect high. There will be eight sacristies and two baptivtrics at the east end of the church. The grand or high altar §s to have a place forty-eight feet east of the live of intersection of the nave and transept. Be- hind this will be a one, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, aud which is to be forty-eight feet long anc the same broad. The church will aflord room for 14,000 persons ‘on ordinary occasions; and, when there is necessi'y for it, accommodation can be had for 19,000. Tweive thou- sand people will easily fnd room in the main body of the building, all of whom, during mass} can see the ngb altar, We believe the largest church in New York will not accommodate more than 3,500. This will afford some idea of the gee tructure the wew St. Patrick’s Cathedral will be w completed and fit fur the eclebra- tion of divine worship. The building at the front will be enicred by three immense doors, much in the style of the French cathedrals, The central door will be fifty feet high, and two spires each 320'feet high, and several towers will lend an imposing effeci to the exterior ap- pearance of the edifice, which will be built of white marble from the quarrres of Westebester county. The interior to be covered by the walis of the cathedral will be 38,500 feet, The building will be larger than Westroinster Abbey, and it is worthy of walls are to be even higher than tower of Grace church. The plane have been furnished by Messra, James Renwick, Jr., and Wiliam Rodrigue, and if they ‘be executed w the letier the Catholics of America may, in the course, perhaps, of twenty years, be able to boast of having the test church in the republic, , MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
