CHARLESTON, s. C. Dec. 8, 1929.

 "Should any one have told me that day would come when sense of deep and awful duty would require of me to address you, as this day do, would not have thought 1t possible.

 'l wrote few weeks since from BaIti- more, letter, which you cannot, suppose. have yet received, in which I alluded to the injustice which you thoughtlessly did to people of whom you know so little as you do of the slave-hodlng Americans. But this day have had an imperfect view Of a letter which you appear 10 have written from Derryname, h last September, upon the subject of our cruelty and injustice. hat viewa imperfect & t wtis, was to my eye more blasting thaa any which have for years beheld.

 ''l now tell you that more wanton piece ot injustice has never been done 10 brave and generous people, than this which you, ignorant of our situation, of our history, of our laws, of our customs and our principles, have dared to perpetfate. You have not only been guilty of gross injustice to d people whom you know not, and who aided you with noble and disinterested enthusi- asm, but you have heaped shame and con- fusion upon your own countrymen, and those who We're once your admirers, and would still, ify you permitted t, be your friends.

 "Do you believe, that we, who love free dom and our fellow men, are the heartless wretches that you describe, because we cannot at once do all that your imagination conceives to be perfection, and which we, who have the experimental knowledge, have lrreiraglble evidence 10 be destructive folly You have in the unfortunate mo- ment when you sent forth that document (lf 1t be yours,) done an evil, which no con tritlon can repair, no service can redeem. As Garollnian, ] cannot reason with you upon facts, of which you are ignorant. As an Irlshman bewail your infatuation.- And whilst l am doomed to meet variety of trials, one of the keenest and bitterest of my feelings, will be that the most contunae- llous insult, which was flung upon the land of my adoption, was ungratefully and want only given in the moment when she was flushed with victory won by American aid, by one whom l once valued as dear friend In the country of my birth.

 'Should the Derryname manifesto against the proud Americans and their slave holding states, be a forgery, should rejoice 10 learn the fact from yourself. Should 1t be your production l would say, in me you shall find one amongst thousands of your countrymen, who will not succumb to your insult, nor quail before your threat

 "l shall make no parade of my love of liberty, nor send you homilies upon my humanity. But whilst, with every Caroli- nian that know, lament an evil which Britain has superindueed, and which we cannot at once remedy, deny your right to interfere; and l pray you might succeed in raising the ruined population of Ireland to the level of the comforts of the Carolina slave. Should yen live to behold this re- suit of your Iabors, you will have accom- p!ished more than is expected by

 fJ0HN, Bishop of Charleston.
