In the Freeman's Journal and Catholic Register,
published in New York, under date Of August 29th,
we find the following


THE INVESTIGATION AND ADVOCATE or INDE.


PENDENCE.


"Some one has addressed 10 US the August num-
Der OF this periodical Ii seems TO have lost its title
page on the way, and IL is only by chance that We
have discovered the locality OF It's publication. By
one OF our religious exchange papers, we learn that
the Investigator is published at Washington,
" W and that It's editor Is brother OF the Pfesi-
dent OF the United States The editor, we think,
may be a namesake, aud probably distant relative,
but We have good reason TO dsbeeye that he is the
Presidents brother.


Even II he were, however, it would be unjust to
hnd fault with him for publishing such periodical,
when, and where, and in what spirit he thinks
proper. His being namesake, or relative, or a
brother OF tho President ought not 10 interfere with
his right to publish his notions at the of govern
ment Neither does such publication imply that
the President encourages or approves Of il, in
his private capacity, much less as chief magistrate
Of the United States. We have made these obser-
vaons partly TO yindcate principle Of right the
one side, and partly 10 repe the Impuation of re-
sponsiblllly the other. We have done SO princi-
paly however to advise readers that the lnyes-
ugaor breathes narrow l-informed spirit of anti
Catholic seetarianism-and that the New York
Evangelist, journal of the same class, claims for il
an implied official sanction, which its intrinsic merits
could never equal, by telling us pompously that it
lis published in Washington by Mr.. Polk, brother
ofths President and his private secretary The italics
are ours.n


IL is generally known that Mr.. Polk has but one
brother, and he is now in Europe. His private sec
retary is Mr. James Knox Walker; and we do moi,
know that the editor of the Investigator, although
bearing the same name, is in any way connected
with the President.
