It is not rooabie that such @ Change will be made till then. any rate we know that tbe decrees of the Coun- cil of Trent and the constitutions of Sixtus V. direct that the cardinals ve chosen, as far as possi- ble, trom all nations. Thus the great Catholic prone and rule has been established long ago. it will be for the adjourned Vatican Council, wen it meets, to apply this principle to America. Having dismissed this subject for the present there is another of entreme luterest to which the attention of your readers hay not been at all directed, namely, the claims of the Biscayans and Cataionians, now in arms, to the sympathy of every haere, loving man. It is doubly unfortunate for these mdomitable lovers of ancient freedom that their cause should be identified or coniounded with that of Don Car- los, But we at least here in America owe it to | ourseives, to the cause of true liberty—nay, to the simple truth, to dispel this coniusion, Don Carlos 1s Gghting to recover a throne; but Basques and Catalonians are fighting with him against @ common enemy, only to recover tne rights and liberties of which they were deprived by Ferdinand VIi., by his danghter, Isabella IL, and which the republics of Castelar and Serrands Tefuse to restore to them. The battle maintained by these heroic populs- tions ‘or liberties and institutions, not interior to our own and far older, ia an oid, old story. Let us recall its main incidents, and begin to understand 8 struggle which 18 far more one for republicanism ) than absolute monarchy, Basques and Catalon- | lans are the old Cantavri of A gern, pete defended against the who.e might of the Roman Empire their native freedom. Their social condition to- day is but little changed trom what it was at the dawn of Christianity. They have their districts and communes, governed by their own chosen oMcers, No king or emperor bas ever been allowed with impunity to interiere in their communal or provincial admiuistration. Their or written charter of rights and customs, embody the same precious political privileges wich they pro- tected against the Komans, against the Goths, the Saracens, a8 weil as bis goree that Christian dynasties have ruled in Spain, Situated between Navarre and Castile they remained absolutely in- dependent of both down to the thirteenth century. hey ailied themselves, at that time, with Castile, without Secoming incorporated With it, solely for the purpose of strengthening their own indepen- dence. No king was ever allowed to levy taxes or contributions of any kind among them, and every member of their nationality claimed and en- joyed, in 8pain’s proudest days, the same exemp- tions and privileges a8 Spain’s highest nobility, Every Basque is @ nobleman, and thinks nimself as good asa king, They and the Catalonians re- sisted fiercely and successiully the introduction of French absolatism in the person of Philip V., the grandson of Louis XIV. No matter how widely the blight of tyranny fell on the rest of the Spanish monarchy, tt did not touch the free hills and valleys of Cantabria, The Spanish constitu- tion of 1812 in vain decreea that the Basques and Catalonians should be placed on the same with the rest of Spain; ip arms and never entirely laid them down till 1844, when the government of Isa- bella offered them suffictent guarantees for the full enjoyment of their worshipped liberties, or fueros, The first Carlist war, be it well understood, was more than the present, a war for absolute monarchy represented by the pretender, but an alliance with him to wrest irom @ common {oe a guarantee for their own ancestral ireedom, Tne first Don Carlos, like the present, had his own selfish views; butthe brave men who fignt with him hate despotism with an undying batred, and Jove liberty with a love unparalleled in the history oi the world. ‘There is another reason why they fight against the radical republic of Castelar, as they iought against the ‘“iberal’”? monarchy of Ferdinand and Isabella; because they believe botn to ve tiie deadly 10es of their religion. Ana if there be one thing which @ Basque loves more than that free- dom, which is the breath of lite to him, it is the Catholic religion, Tnat, too, he will have free at any price. PRUDENTUIS. Abelard Answered—Unity and Catholi- city Not Signs of the True Church, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— In the WEEKLY HERALD of August 1 are two com- munications in desence of Catholicism and an im- plied condemnation of all else that claims to be Teligious. One of these is signed ‘Pradentius,” and 1s an apology for the Pope’s indifference to these United States in the matter of the appoint- ment here of @ cardinal—an indifference very prop- erly and more than once noticed by the HERALD. The other communication is sigmed ‘Abeiard,” and to this only I propose to reply. The writer makes an effort to prove that unity and catuolicity, as evidences of the true Caurch, are pecultar to the Church of Rome, and prove her to bea “divine institution”’—one outside the pale of which, St. Augustine 1s quoted as saying, any- thing except salvation can be 1ound. This writer thinks that the exclusive right of the Roman Catholie Church to the title of ‘Catnolic” is almost obvious irom the fact that it is 80 called by everybody, ‘‘Ask,” he says, “a shoeblack where is the Catholic church, and ask the President, Mr, Grant, the same question, and he will give you the same iniormation you got from the shoebiack. In like you must not expect to be understood to mean Mr, ; Mackonockie’s church nor Mr. Spurgeon’s.” This same argument (?) was put forth in better lan- guage by the once celebrated Bishop Milner (“Ena vl Controversy”) ; but a child can see tuat it is per- jectly worthiess; for what could a president, a shoeblack or other person inguired of by a strauger intend, except to direct such stranger to @ church edifice where people called Catholics meet for worship? Catholics are great sticklera for this ecclestasti- Lockwood’s discourse in the Congregational morning. Dr. Ridwell will preach there in the evening. .

Now, it is not to be denied that tt is in the Power of the Pope either to increase the numbers cal desiguation, thinkimg that if they can egiab- lish their exclusive rigat to i¢ their work of de- monstrating their Churcn to be & divine institution 1s dune; but they deceive themseives, ior deceit, | jytng, injustice and war are tar more catholic or Universal than the Catholic religion ts, Are they, therefore, divine institutionsy In the days of Christ and His aposties the Onurch was nos catho- lic, unless a Very small piece of territory near the eastern extremity of the Mediterranean Sea was the whole world, nor was it called catholic by any one.

Among Catnolics all over the world free thought on questions of their theology is dis- couraged—irowned down. Even that fortress of salety to the human family, doubt, is by the Catho- lic Church denounced and cursed a8 a mortal sin. Hence, among the Catholic masses no discussion’ respecting apy points oi thew religionever take place—tne silénce of the grave prevails tuere 1or- ever. This silence results not dm tne intelll- | gent and iree acceptance oi a religion proved to | be true, but from the servile fear of attempting | any examination which might betray the terrible sin of doubt. An external unity of faith thus | brought abdqut and set up as @ mark oi truth is | imply valueless.

BLAKENEY, M, D, Dunxigk, N. Y., August 5, 1874, Christ Is Risen—‘Benex” Instructed. To rae Eprron oF THE HERALD:— “Senex” published in the HERALD on Sunday | last that he “doubts Christ’s resurrection,” and is entitled to some relief. He says—Lnke, xv., 44 (tt should have been Mark)—‘Pilate marvelied if he were aiready dead,” and immediately proceeds thereon to argue tnat the friends of Jesus en- deavored and did successfully restore Him to life, “Senex” should have been more candid to the un- initiaied, and should have continued Mark’s nar- ration thas:—“And calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any whue dead, and when he knew of the centurion he gave the body to Joseph.” These verses are preceded by ‘Joseph of Arimathes an honorable councilor. which also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate and craved the body of Jesus.” “Senex” has looked over the ac count of the cruci@xton and resurrection in each of the gospels, for now he draws an inference from anosher. and says that they clothed Him in “a suit of clothing is sertatP aeing the clothing usually worn by the gardeners of that period.” Waiving the point whether there was any dis- tinctive “clothing usually worn by gardeners of that riod,” which we very much doubt, the sacred Volume does not carry such an inference, Jobn, XxX., %4—“Sne (Mary) turned herself back and saw Jesus stinding, and knew that it was Jesus. Jesus saith tu her, ‘Woman, why weepest § thouy Whom seekest thouy She supposing Him to be the gardener saith unto Him, ‘Sir, if thou hast borrie him hence tell me where thou hast laid him, andl wultake bim away.’ Jesus saith unto her, ‘Mary!’ She turned herself and saith unto Him, “Rabbont,’ which is to say Master?” How very natu- Tal; she being absorbed in grief, weeping, as it Is 10 the narative, and in the indistinctness of light im the early morn, and she being addressed sternly, “Woman!” should have supposed it to be the gardener. But when He said ‘Mary !’’ in his old familiar tone, doubt remained no longer. The Jews asserted hat the disciples stole the body of Jesus while @ body of Roman soldiers were sleep- ing at their post. This story is highly improvable itself, and the witnesses introduced to prove it utterly incompetent, even by their own conlession, tor rad allow themselves to nave been asleep when the event occurred. ‘The apostles assert that He was raised irom the dead—they offer their persona! testimony. Li they were not deceived wey were competent testimony; if com mt and credible, their testimony must be f - Meved. The state of their minds was such that ‘hey could not believe that their Master had risen, except upon the most conciusive evidence, They expected He would establish an earthly kingdom. See Mark, X., 36, 87; Luke, xxil., 2-27, They did not belleve He would die; nor did they understand what He meant by being raised. Matthew, Xvi, 21, 225 Kk, 1x., 81, 82; Luke, xviii, 31-34; John, Xx., 9 As might be expected, they did not readily believe He had Tisen, but required the most positive and conclusive evidence—Mark, XVi., @14; Luke, xxiv., 11-41; John, xx., 24-20. It cannot be doubted, I think, that the apostles were competent witnesses; that is, that they were not deceived, but had the opportunity to know, and actually did know. In regard to their credibility, they had nothing to gain by testifying to the resur- rection falsely; they knew that a life of poverty and suffering awaited them, und they coud pot expect rewards from heaven tor deceiving their brethren—they had much to lose from the fury of those who crucified Jesus. They suffered martyr- dom in attestation of facts. The ties had been feariul, timid; adopting even justidable meas- ures to secure their personal satety—Matt., xxvi., 56, 69-75, In the short space of days aiterwards the same apostles became soveariess of danger that nothing could terrify them, They were ready to encounter stripes, imprisonment, death—Acts, in, i, iv. If they haa stolen the body of Christ, would that have filled them with this courage? Would they have had as much con- fidence in a dead boay which they had concealed, or in a resuscitated body which they used as de- ception, a8 in their honest fearlessness? I hesitate to trespass further on your columns. WM. COVENTRY H. WADDELL. VALHALLA, August, 1874, A Colored Baptist Church War. All the ecclesiastical fighting of these days is not confined to white ministers and churches. Colored folk sometimes take a hand in. A short time ago we had Rev. J. Morris Williams quarrelling with his Bridge street churcb, Brooklyn, and now we have Rev. Simon Burdick and his Baptist fuck on Crow Hill, Brooklyn, at loggerbeais, Mr. Burdick has been twenty years pastor of the church, and several years ago the society bought some lots in and around the present site oi their meeting house. Property was then of little value in this neighborhood, but it has increased in value greatly since, and Mr. Burdick, as the stories go, used his endeavors tu get rid of the officials 4nd intelligent members of the church, and having succeeded he became everything to the few who Temaived, and, manne advantage of their credulity or indifference, took possession of the church property in his own name, and went so far as to Sell two lots in the rear of the church and deposit the proceeds in bank to his own credit. But the off- cial and others who had gone out suspected some trick and kept their eyes on the affairs of the church; but to be of avy service they must be in- 8.de and not outside of the society. They there- fore returned, and, conlessing their faults and follies, asked to be restored again to membership. The generous Burdick granted their prayer, and on a certain evening called & meeting for the elec- tion of trustees; but no one attended. The night following, however, when Mr. Burdick was absent, the church folk gathered and elected seven trus- tees and other officials. The pastor was subse- quently notified of this action, and the result was g@reguiar row, in which Mr. Burdick was sam- marily discharged by the trustees, who made a de- mand on him for the records of the church. These, however, he refused to give up, and is now at his home quite ill, His successor, Rev. Armistead Mirabile, has been installed, and ia preachin; every Sunday to the Crow Hill Berean Baptists. sult at law is threatenea on both sides. Burdick claims all the church property in lieu of seven years’ salary, Which, he says, is due to him, and the trustees maintain thas it is theirs. Ministerial and Church Movements. PRESBYTERIAN. Rey.
