“May 13.—­There are two newspapers in the town of Castle Cumber, conducted upon opposite principles:  one of them is called The Castle Cumber True Blue, and is the organ of the Orange Tory party, and the High Church portion of the Establishment.  The other advocates the cause of the Presbyterians, Dissenters, and gives an occasional lift to the Catholics.  There is also a small party here, which, however, is gaining ground every day, called the Evangelical, an epithet adopted for the purpose of distinguishing them from the mere worldly and political High Churchmen, who, together with all the loyalty and wealth, have certainly all the indifference to religion, and most of the secular and ecclesiastical corruptions that have disgraced the Church, and left it little better than a large mass of bribes in the hands of the English minister.  In such a state of things, you may judge how that rare grace, piety, is rewarded.  There is, besides, no such thing to be found in this country as an Irish bishop, nor, is a bishop ever appointed for his learning or his piety; on the contrary, the unerring principle of their elevation to the mitre, is either political, or family influence, or both.  I wish I could stop here but I cannot; there are, unfortunately, still more flagitious motives for their appointment.  English ministers have been found who were so strongly influenced by respect for the religion and Church Establishment of the Irish, that they have not blushed to promote men, who were the convenient instruments of their own profligacy, to some of the richest sees in the kingdom.  But I am travelling out of my record; so to return.  The name of the second paper is the Genuine Patriot, and Castle Cumber Equivocal; this last journal is, indeed, sorely distressed between the Catholic and Evangelical parties.  The fact is, that the Evangelicals entertain such a horror of Popery, as a spiritual abomination, that they feel highly offended that their advocates should also be the advocate of Old Broadbottom, as the Orangemen call the Pope; in consequence, they say, of his sitting upon seven hills.  The editors of these papers are too decidedly opposed in general, to be on bad terms with each other; or, to speak more intelligibly, they are not on the same side, and consequently do not hate each other as they ought and would.  The town of Castle Cumber, like every other country town, is one mass of active and incessant scandal; and, it not infrequently happens that the True Blue will generously defend an individual on the opposite side, and the Genuine Patriot fight for a High Churchman.  The whole secret of this, however is, that it is the High Churchman who writes in the Patriot, and the Evangelical in the True Blue, each well knowing that a defence by an opposing paper is worth more than one by his favorite organ.  In the instance I am about to specify, however, the case was otherwise, each paper adhering to the individual of his own principles.  On taking up the True Blue I read the following passage, to which I have fortunately obtained a key that will make the whole matter quite intelligible.  The article was headed:—­
