mr. Trciin nShuysen again,


1t is provoking TO be compelled 10 Puous" q
cles in defence Of Religious Liberty, which ough'
10 be a settled matter in this Country. hr. IRE
linrhuysen is constantly essailsd In ore way OF .
another as a concentration OF fanaiicIsm OF lury'
or as If there were some crime in his Religious
opinions. He is in Religion 2 very exemplary
and beloved member OF the Presbyterian or Dutch
Reformed Church while in Politics he IS
Whig, and nothing else. II VIC were electing
Bishop or director Of Religion in any forn a
grea, many would prefer man OF different creed
or associations but VIC are now on the eve o.
choosing President and Vice President, and dis
cussions Of this or that mans creed or church arc
entirely out of place in this connsxion. NC ne
vcr ask nor case what Mr.. Clay or Mr. tFeiins-
huysen, Nj Polk OF Mr. Dallas, thinks or believes
Of orr creed, and should not care e button II e.
Their or which OF them had condemned those
whom We regard as teachers of Divine Truth
vet there are persons more sensitive; and as
studied effort is now making to aiienate especial
ly Catholic Wings because OF Dir. flehnshag-
sens religious sympathlcs, we make room for the
following:

NEWARK. July 18th. 1871


DEAR SIR: Your kind favor oil The lUth INST.
reached me at this place yesterday. | thank you
for the friendly interest you have taken in The
matter of the Vice Presidents nomination.


As it respects charge in your vicinity that
had lately stated in public speech that the Bible
must prevail in despite Of Bishop Hughes and the
Popc, can firmly declare it all an ute. labrica-
ton. have, on no occasion, made any such re-
ference to the Bishop or the Pope, or any thing



that truth could construe into likeness; nor have
said any thing in disrespect or prejudice of the
Catholics. | have never felt any other disposl-
ton toward them than that they should fully eI
crcse and enjoy all the rights of conscience, rcli
rion and citizenship, as guaranteed by our Consti
luton 10 all. The only speech have made IN :
long time relating 10 The Bible, was at the ami
versary of the American Bible Society in May
last. / had no notes, nor have made any since
/ have looked for paper containing report OF
my remarks, and as yet can find only the en-
closed, which embraces the substance. II fad
one moro full, will send it to you.


Very truly. yours. THEO. fRELiNGuC ISEN.
