B.Mt* Co. tU.., Aor. 18tb, 1855.
Me. Johs* 1 »««i n tfc a week’. CbnHituUonal
ut <t Bejniblic so unmanly attack on Mr. Ov.rhy,
{.roleeiing to give hie poeiUon ou the Kanaae quee-
Uon. Having heard alt of Mr. Overby’a address
in Wayneaboro*, I moat say, that tha impreaeion
crea'ed by that statement is a faise one; whether
wiitnUy and intentionally so, I leave others to de
cide. I ask a epaoe in your paper tor the purpose
of giving what evsry unprejudiced person will
agree, is Mr. Overby’s true position. The sup
pression of s part of tha truth is as culpable as the
uttering of a falsehood, when by tbe suppression,
a faise impression is created. Now there were
mo e questions than one asked Mr. Overby. Vv by
were they and tbe answers to them not giveD f
Evidently because it would have defeated the ob
jact had in view. Not being able to combat the
unanswerable arguments of Mr. Overby, an un
generous effort is made to create tbs impression
that he is unsound on the Kansas question. Mis
erable subterfuge 1
In order to undersand this matter, it is necessary
to say something about tbe present political condi
tion of Burke. 1 think lam safe iu saying that
a majority of the voters, perhaps a considerable
majority, are opposed to the retail liquor traffic,
and, if not bound up by party ties, would vote
for suppression. Tbe lste stirring up of the pe
iitical elmenta lies had the effect of breaking up
of party ties, ard tbe wire-pullers fear that the
people will go to the support of Mr. Overby. Mr.
Stephens’ address In 'Vaynesb-iO’, and the reading
of the Constitution of tbe National Counoil, have
had the effect of disorganizing the K. N.’s, so that
I learn the lodges are, some of them, returning
their charters. There is also a large class of anii-
Know Nothing Whigs, who long ago took such a
distaste for Mr. Johnson on account of his coon
killiog propensity, that they can’t forgive him for
it. There are also many Democrats with whom
Mr. Johnson is quite unpopular, aud who say they
mu*t be satiailed about these charges against {him
or they will go to Overby. Now it was seeu by
the wire pullers tbst all of these three classes
would go to Overby unless he could be made odi
ous by some means ; for they scknowledged that
he would get seven tenths of the voters of Burke
unless some disturbance was created. The first
thing therefore to be done, wss to force him
to take sides for or against the Know Nothings,
and praise or abuse them that he might drive Irem
him one class or the other of these anti-Johnson
ites.
He was asked first, if he was on the 4th plank
of the Georgia platform. As he had in tbe begin
ning of his speech placed himßelf fully on th*
Georgia platform, the 4th plank and all the others,
he referred to that for his answer.
[ Will the correspondent of the Constitutionalist
f please inform the pnblic his motive for sappressing
‘ this question and answer. Evident!; it had a di
rect connexion with the question reported by him.
The next queetion inquired whether he was on
the Philadelphia or Macon platforms, or an; crack
1 or chink of them. Ha answered: “I am not.”
Some, who were evidently disappointed because
he did noPimproperly allow himself to be forced
into a Know Nothing discussion (from which it was
certainly his duty to hold himself aloof) say that
he appended to thiß the remark : *‘l am on the pro
hibition plutform.' Others of the same class say,
he added: '• I am on the liquor platform.” I
presume Mr. Overby and bis friends in other parts
of the State will be amused to hear he ia “on the
liquor platform.”
He was then saked whet he would do if Kansas
should be rejected by Congress on account of her
being a slave State. Now let ii be remembered
that Mr. Overby had just a moment before pledged
himself to resist such a movement even (as a last
resort) to a disrup ion of every tie, eto. He cer
tainly supposed then, presuming the framer ofthe
the qnestiona to be a sensible man, that the ;ob
jeot was to know to what mode and measure of
resistauco he thought uould be proper under the
circumstances. He therefore replied that, that
I being a terrible crisis, which he hoped under God,
I might never arrive, he had not thought enough of
I the matter to device any plan. He would not how
' ever consult with boys what was best to do; he
would pray to an Almighty Being for guidance;
be would consult with the old and grayheaded, the
experienced, the wise and good, and thus with
the united wisdom of the State, he would endeavor
to meet the emergency in the very best possible
manner. Mr. Gardner thinks “thie would involve
a state of facts past praying for.” 1 imagine this
savors too much of the atheist, to suit the sober,
sensiblo men of Georgia, who, in every important
political crisis, feel a special dependence on the
rely on the Aid of »n Almighty Being in any time 11
of peril. The editorial would have sounded very P
well in France when it was decreed by the nation 0
that there waa no God. I hope it will be long be- 8
fore each will be popular in this country.
There are eome old fire-eating diannionieta who t
seem to tn ink that Georgia will beoome dissolved «
by the very act of refoßing to admit Kansas, and 1
that the Govornor muet simply issue a proolama- |
tion auncuncing the faet. The Georgia Platform, *
however, gives no such instruction to the Gov- '
ernor. It says : “The State of Georgia will resist 1
even (as a last resort) to a disruption,” *o. Now, 1
let it be borne in mind that the parenthetical olauee ]
“as a last resort” was pat in on purpose, and re- 1
tained after a debate for the purpose of rejecting 1
it. It must then have had a meaning ; and if so,
the resolution contemplates more than one method i
of resistance. In the absence es all discussion in I
the newspapers as to the mode, and long before 1
the crisis arrives, it is not expected that any one 1
has matured a plan of resistance.
Mr. Overby’s opponents should be ashamed of 1
the indignities offered him in Waynesboro’. He
came to the place a perfect stranger, treated every
man and party with reepect, and avoided aaying
or doing anything to wound tha feelings of any ;
and yet, while ho was fixing his baggage to his
buggy preparatory to leaving, a drunken crowd
were endeavoring to insult him, by proposing to
raiso money to buy him a horee, as he had to
drive a mule, and proposing to tar and feather
him ; while on the other aide, in a few feet of
him, the more intelligent portion of his opponents
were clamorously demoancing him as a man “not
fit to be Governor, as he didn’t havt tense enough
to know what he would do on the rejection of
, Kansas.” This was done in Mr. Overby’s hearing.
With regard to Mr. O.’a answers to the ques
[ tions propounded to him, I wili aimply add that
Mr. Btephene was present, and heard the whole of
I the speech and hie answers ; and I have heard,
r that having been oharged with being a Demoorat
j And an intention to vote for Johnson, he replied
1 that if he voted at all for Governor, he would vote
' for Overby. Will any man dare charge Mr. S.
with a possibility of voting for a man unsound on
the Kansas question !
It is Mr. Overby’s practice to correct the false
rumors afloat throngh the country in connection
with Mr. Stephens. He is never heard to apeak
of Mr. Andrews as “the oorrnpt Judge,” nor of
Mr. Johnson as a corrupt Governor, using the
public funds for private purposes. Treating all of
his opponents as it becomes an honorable man to
treat them, and holding himself aloof from all the
minor issues, he regards tha maintenance of the
Georgia Platform, and the suppression of public
tippling shepa as “tie primary objects of patriotic
desire." Hs is deo'ared by the ableet and beat
men of Georgia, to be a man every way qualified
for discharging the duties of the Executive offloe m
His private moral character is above all reproaoh.'
No man North, South, East or West, has yet been
found to bring the slightest charge against his
integrity. Wi h a heart bleeding over the woes of
unfortunate inebriates, chained down by the des
potic sway of the liquor traffic, and over the suffer
ings of broken-hearted wives, and starving child
ren, his mission is to summon patriots, philan
thropists, and Christiana of every name and order,
to come to their rescue. That he may succeed in eo
laudable an nnde.'taking, ia the sincere wish of
Justice.
For tit Chronidt <t SmtinA
The Charter es Mari lead.
Mb. Ennon:—ln the foot note to Kent’s corn
menUrieo, (I.««,) it is stated that Mr. Kennedy,
(Hon. Jno. P. Kennedy, I presume,) in his address
before the Md. Hist. Soc. in IS4S, bases the claims
of Maryland to liberality, not on its legislation, bnt
on its charter. I have made every effort to get a
c'py of this address, bnt it is ont of print, and I
have not succeeded. If the note in Kent’s Com.
represents him truly, then we have Mr. Kennedy's
testimony, that in all the legislation of Maryland,
there was nothing that established or recognised
religions liberty. If he finds all the liberty in the
charter, of course he finds none anywhere else.
This charter came ffom a Protestant Prinoe, and
not from Lord Baltimore. 80 if all the liberality
of Maryland was in its charter, the credit is due to
the British Government, and not to the nobleman
just named. Moreover, if the charter really did
establish religious liberty, the case is all the worse
lor Lord Baltimore and hia colony ; for in that case
with a Liberal charter before them, they enacted
illiberal laws, and by bloody and barbarons legis
lation, broke through the restraints, whioh a Pro
testant government had thrown around them.
It is not the tact, however, that religioua liberty
was established by the charter. Hildreth speaks
truly when he says, that there is not the slightest
hint in that instrument, of any liberty not already
reoognised by the existing laws of England,
(Hild. L *08) ntek liberty was not much to boast
of, lor it was with refugees from this, that this con
tinent to a great extent, was peopled. Bat in or
der that my readers may judge for themselves, of
the character of this instrument, I will quote all of
it that beers upon religious matters in any way
whatever.
*ec. XL—Merely describes Lord B. as ’‘being
Is ..mated with a [audible and pious zeal for extend
ing the chriatian religion.” Thi3 was merely a
oustotr ary formula. Bjatnan, the historian of Md.
•alls it cant.
Sec. IV.—Gives to Lord B. “the patronages and
_ advowsoce of all churohes, which, with tne in
creasing worship and religion of Christ, within the
said region * * * * aforesaid, hereafter shall
happen to be built, together with the license and
facuity erecting and founding churches, chapels
and pieces of worship, in convenient and suitable
place*, within the premises, and of causing the
. same to be dedicated, or consecrated, according to
the ecclesiastical laws of our Kingdon of Eog and.”
, X—Grants to all colonists, “ail privi eges,
franchises, and liberties, of this our Kingdom of
1 England, freely , quietly and peaceably to have and
possess.”
Bee. XXll.—Provides “that no interpretatien of
the charter be made, by which the holy rites, or
service., of God aud the true Christian religion,
may in any wise suffer change, prejudice, or dimin
ution; or as the original is: “Pronto temper,
quod nulla jiot interpreted, per quam sasroeaneto
Dei, el tern chnetuina reliqic, immuta tione, prdu
iteto, vtl dupendio, patxantur.”
This is all of the charter that has the least ref
erence to religious nutters. Sec. X. grants only
the liberty of England, a liberty from which our
fathers fled, and under which thousands perished
in dungeons, or by the sword, or at the stake.
Sec. XXII. really establishes the national religion
of Ei.giand. “ The holy service of God and the
true Christian religion” could honestly and
fairly mean, only that which was established by
law in England. Otherwise it would make a Prot
estant King and Government, say that the Eomish
worship and religion, were the holy worship and
service of God, aud the only true ohristian reli
gion, the very thing, whioh the law and Govern
ment of England protested against, and utterly
repudiated.” This provision, it will be seen, liter
ally hand-cuffed the Catholic power in the colony,
and was an effectual bar toils growth forever. The
same obiect was pw'tiaMy * won.pih.k-J w. gnei pari i
'of Bee. IV which prohibits Churches from being 1
dedicated or consecrated exceptaccording to the '
ecclesiastical laws of England,” a mode of cocse- 1
oratio i which no Calholio would or oould submit '
to. W ithout some provision of this kind more or I
leas stringent than these, it is absurd to suppose 1
that the Protestant Government of England, fieroe
as was the hostility to Catholics, would ever have 1
granted the character at all. <
Thus far, there is nothing in the charter that 1
savors of liberty. Its only objeot, so far as we have 1
have yet consiuerod, to have been the protection ’
of Protestant colonist, from aggresssion on the j
part of Catholios. Bee. IV., it will be seen oon- <
ferred on Lord B. the advowson of all the chnrobes <
that might be bnilt in the province; and indeed *
if the charter contained no other objectionable
feature than this, its claims to liberality would be
nugatory. For what is an advowson ? It is a
right, conferred by the government, on an indi
vidual, to say who shall be the pastor of a church,
without any regard to ihe wishes, or roligious
sntiments of those who listen to his ministrations,
and who are taxed for his support. Such aright
as this, is not consistent with religious liberty, in
any extended sense, or Ameriean sense, or true
sense. Suppose a Roman Catholic nobleman in
Ireland, or even an American citizen residing in
New York, aye, or even one of our own citizens
residing in Georgia, were to receive authority
from the State, to dictate a pastor to the Baptist
Church in Augusta. Think you not that the
good people of that fraternity, would enlist the
sympathy and aid of the 600,000 Baptists in the
United States, and indeed the aid and sympathy
of many other sects, if not of all others, and that
the whole body, would so far forget the duties of
meekness, gentleness, long suffering and forgive
ness, as to rise in their might, and enact scones
similar to, but more dreadful than those which
terminated the career of Laud, Strafford and
Charles I
But enough; there was no liberty in the charter
of Maryland. Here let me notice that Mr.
Stephens in endeavoring to prove that leligious
liberty was established by this instrument, un
happily for himself, quotes this expression from
Bancroft: “ Christianity was made by the charter
the law of the land.” Hoes not Mr. Stephens
know, that if any one religion, (the Christian re
ligion mr example,) is made the law of the land,
any and all other religions, (the Jowish for ex
ample) are made unlawful, or at least in some
respects plaood under disabilities and proscrip
tion? Where the unhallowed union of Church
and State exists, can there be religious liberty ?
Never, never, never!

Or. Chalmers and Catholic Emancipation. 1
A recent number of the Augusta Constitution- 1
alist contains a republication of an address de- 1
livered-in 19X9, by Hr. Chalmers in regard to 1
Catholic Emancipation. The address is one of ’
Hr. Chalmers ablest efforts. This is saying a 1
groat deai, as Hr. Chalmere was one of the intel- 1
lectual giants of the 19th century. Every thing I
nature could give it. With a large body of men, '
perhaps the entire Presbyterian ohurch of this j
oountry, the opinions of no man would have
greater weight than those of Dr. Chalmers.
In the address to which I refer, the ground
taken by Dr. Chalmers and supported with his
charaoteristio ability, is In substance thus: that so
long as the Catholics in Great Britain, labored
under oivil disabilities, they would be enabled
to cry persecution; that this would bind them
more closely together, create sympathy for them
among Protestants, and thus their cause would
be stre gthened Instead of being weakened. But
if their disabilities were removed, with his Bible
in his hand, he would undertake to destroy the
Power of Romanism in that kingdom.
Upon all questions of abstract truth, the argu
ments of Hr. Chalmers’ are unanswerable, amt
his was a noble generous nature, and by conse
quence, where his sympathies could be enlisted,
ordinarily sound judgments was liable to an undue
bias. The Catholics at the time of the delivery
of his speech, 1H», W6re in an apparently helpless
minority, not numbering in England more than
800,000. His sympathies were excited for them,
and hence his brilliant address in their favor. He
considered them oppressed, and believed that if
the apparent oppression were removed, they
would oease to exist as a separate religious de
nomination in Great Britain.
It was precisely this amiable weakness of a no
ble nature whioh interested Hr. Chalmer so deep
ly in Negro Emancipation in the West Indies,
and made him so determined an opponent of ne
gro slavery wherever it existed. The authority of
Hr. Chalmers is as great on one of these topioi as
the other. As the Constitutionalist has published
Hr. Chalmers’ opinion on Catholio Emancipation
to bring in his name against the American Party,
will be to support the Abolitian party, adduce Hr.
Chalmers’ great name in favor of Asgro Emanci
pation. This would be but jußt.
1 have said that Hr. Chalmers’ arguments, were
unanswerable, where his sympathies were not en
listed. Let us examine the practical results of his
reasoning in the two instances mentioned, and in
both of which his sympathies were enlisted. What
has been the effect of Negro Emancipation in the
West Indies I It has stripped thousands of Brit
ish subjects of their property, it has stopped the
sources of soma of the most material channels of
t he Biitish trade—it has made deserts of some
of the most fertile of the British dominions—it
has plunged the negro (incapable of civilisation
without a master) into the lowest depths of pov
erty, disease and crime.
What has been the effect of Catbolio Emancipa
tion in England! Has it weakened it! Has the
“Free Bible" prostrated it! 1 answer No. Since
the removal of Cathoho Disabilities, the Boman
Catholic cause has advanced daily. Sinoe the Re
formation, that cause has never been so strong as
it is at this day, and it is daily becoming stronger.
When Dr. Chalmers made his speech, who could
have imagined that in less than thirty years, the
University of Oxford, an Institution of the State,
a glory of the Reformation, should be profoundly
imbued with Romanism; that a number of her
officer* should have left the establishment, and
joined the Catholio church; that one of them
shonld wear the red hat of a Borneo Catholic
Cardinal in the streets of London. The very re
verse of that which Dr. Chalmers predicted as the
result of Catholic Bmancipation has followed. It
is fortunate for the country that this instance of
Dr. Chalmers has been brought to notice. It
shows clearly that the Boman Hierarchy is insensi
ble to that mild influenoe of truth and reason ;
that it presumes upon forbearance, and that if
met only by argument, it triumphs by means

Hierarchy is well expressed in a memorial of Par

Boman Catholic Church better than Dr. Chalmers
did.
*» From these causes, says Parliament, as bitter
results, we humbly oiler to your Majesty, that we
foresee and fear there will necessarily follow very
dangerous effects to both Churoh end State. For
(1.) The Popish religion is incompatible witn ours
in respect to thoee positions, (i.) It draweth
with it an unavoidable dependency on Foreign
Princes. (S.) It openeth too wide a gap for pop

It has s restless spirit and will strive by these
graduations—if it but once got a convenience it will
press for a toleration—if that should be obtained,
they must have an equality ; lrom thence they
will inspire to superiority ; and will never rest
till they gets subversion of true religion.” How
fully the character of the Papacy drawn by the
hand of the Parliament, is borne out by facts, let
the present position of England show.
If the Boman Catholic Church were a simple,
uncompounded body—if it were solely religious,
it might be met solely by argument. But it is po
litical as well as spiritual; and a political error
must be met and removed by a political remedy.
The Pope, to whom every Catholic owes allegi
anoe, is King as well as Pontiff. It is nonsense to
say, while such is the double character of the
Pope, that the spiritual allegianoe of the Chatolic
does not affiiet his political to another gov
ernment, We might as well aey at onoe, that e

no assistanoe within the realm, wilbArt it had only

was no emigration of Catholic Poreifeerß to assist

than the whole number (Catholios) in England I

Mb. Editob : —ln the daily Constitutionalist of
Wednesday, August.Bß, 1856, first page and first
column, appears a piece from the Philadelphia
Ledger, touching up the editor of the Louisville
Journal, about his witty sayings.
'Tis “ most true, ” Mr. Prentice has for years
borne the reputation of perpetrating qore witty .say
ings than any editor or assistant editor in the
States, but I fear he will shortly hive the laurel
plucked from his brow, if he has not |lready lost it.
I expected yesterday morning, wten 1 read the
paragraph referred to in the Constitolonalist, that
the worthy assistant editor intended I as a precur
sor of something brilliant from hintelf. I knew
the mountain was at labor. Beadir, judge for
yourself, has the mountain (alias Sta,) (not our
Sam,) brought fourth a mouse or Here is his
witticism:
“ The Judge in the course of hie remirke, we un
derstand, made several Pints—but hunmed up to
gether, all would not make a Quart. 1 '
I entreat the editor of the Cons tuition alist to
insist on his assistant to desist in his ifforte at dis
playing his wit, for he has been at itbr about ten
years, and the only feeling that he his ever been
able to arouse, is one of compassion hr his lame,
very lame efforts.
A HEADER OX THE CoNSTITWIONALIST.
[COMMUNICATED.] |
Mb. Editor: —The object of thisconmunication
is to oorrect another misstatement ( anitbeir name
ii LESION,) of the Constitutionalist it: Kpublie. In
the issue of that paper of Tuesday last the Editor
says that the American party of thii city passed
resolutions forbidding the members o) that party
from attending the great Stephens demonstration
on the 4th of the present month, i pronounce
the statement to be utterly false—there was no
such reeolution passed or even introduced at any
meeting of the American party in this city or
county, and each individual member of the party
exercised his own free will as to his attending, or
not attending that meeting. As for myself lam
a member of the order, and I did attend and listen
to Mr. Stephens on that ocoasion, and while there,
1 mw and conversed with e -sninbev ttf„vsptlemen
who I knew to be members of the American
party, not only our own citizens, but I saw
members of the party from other oounties
prqggnt, and listening very attentively to Mr.
file reason atia*.
they did not care to go and listen to a man who
they well knew would villify and abnsethem, and
who would no doubt, as he had done before, com
pare them to “midnight assassins,” “dogs,” and
“devils in Pandemonium,” &c. I think their rea
sons for not attending the meeting are perfectly
satisfactory to any unprejudiced mind.
I will Bay, in conclusion, to the Editor of the
Foreign party in this city, that there is a time
coming when the American party of this city and
oounty will turn out in the majesty of ttheir
■trengtb, and with the conscious rectitude in the
integrity of their principles, will march to the
ballot-box and Bignally rebuke thOße Amenoans
who would, like one of old, “sell their birthright
for a mess of pottage,” or for a ciumb of the
spoils.

Democracy In Lincoln.
Mb. Editob After canvassing theconnty from
centre to circumference, for about six weeks, the
unterrifled, anti-American, Fire-eating, Seceding
Johnson and Cobb Democracy, assembled them
selves at Linoolnton on Tuesday last, and announ
ced their ticket for the Legislature: Dr. Jno.L.
Wilkes for the Senate and Ely Lockhart, Esq.,for
the House, two old line whigs, thus pioving conclu
sively that their platform of principles consists of
but five words, “ Throe Loaves and two Fishes;”
true to their instinct, they are ready to unite with
Dix, Van Buren & Co., or even to pull off their
hats and with mock reverenoe sing hosannas to
whiggery, if in so doing they can but handle the
spoils. But I trow the ides of Ootcber will teach
them the lesson, that the once popilar mantle of
whiggery will not suffice to conceal the “dry rot,"
so as to enable them to gull the people of Lincoln
into the support of their ticket.

Eloocencx add Thwx.—The London (England)
Advertiser, speaking of the United States and
Great Britain, uses the following language ,
“ Contemplate England, groaning with taxation
and struggling in a sanguinary war; with her
trades deranged, her populace discontented, her
Government the corrupt machine of an oligarchy,
and her revenues squandered for she knows not
what; and contrast Per with America—the Ameri
ca that British cabinet ministers treat with so much
indifference, whose statesmen are cultivating the
arts of peace, and whose commerce is gathering
a golden harvest to the nation. She it is that
stands boldly forward to her civil greatness ; she
it is that presents a striking contrast to the mili
tary despotisms of Europe, she it is that—with
her thousand milts of ungarued ooast, her unwall
ed cities, her meagre navy—combines within her
self the elements necessa-y to a great military na
tion. Peace reigns at her fireside ; her throne is
not in mourning. Her legislators are devising
means to relieve an overflowing treasury, her
trade is vigorous, her people are increasing beyond
comparison in wealth, her government is at least
cheap and useful. Would that we could say the

e >ta» iu i-'uiuauj.
s We, with some tbreeor tour bandied ci. zj-. -of
f Baldwin eonnty, had the pleasure of attending tbe
. Maes Meeting in Putnam county, ou the loin inst.
About half past 11 o’c ock, Judge Baxter, of Han
cock, took me stand, and, iu a speech, ot some two
1 honra, abiy defended the principles, aims and cb-
I jects ofthe American Party. Those who k or
Judge Baxter, know the natural bonesty of his
’ heart, ai d are willing to accord to him that re
rct which he so weil deserves, nor do we think
t any honest aud candid man who heard him,
t would accuse him of using any clap-trip argu
ments or political sophistry to v.ndicate his posi
-1 tions. His whole speech 'was marked with that
i honesty, candor boldness and truthfulness that
, carried conviction with it. When he finished,
we were invited to partake of a fine barbacne.
After we had administered to the wants of the
inner man we repaired again to the speakers stand,
where Col. Foster, of Madison, chained the uitei
tion of his hearers tor an hour and a half. In
opening, he said he would speak from the record
and onr word for it, he did speak from the record,
and an nupalatable oueitwas for the so called
National Democracy. He Bpoke of facts aj they
were—did “nothing eztonuate, nor sot do vn
aught in tnalioe.” The Bronson affair was reviewed
folly nor do we believe that Gov. Johnson or
Cobb, with their known sophistry and ability
could have reconcile ! and explained away to the
satisfaction ot tile people, the action of President
Pierce iu his removal.
He next no.iced the impudeu’, insulting aul ar
rogant letter of Archbishop Hughes to Gen. Csss,
when he, in Lisßenatorialsoat introduced a bill lor
the prote.tion of American ci.ixens traveling iu
foreign countries iu the exorcise cf their religious
worßbip, and iu the right ot conscience, showiug
clearly by his letter, that not cv=u American cit
liana were entitled to freedom of oonsoience if
they place their feet upon Papal ground. Then
came the Beligious Teat, which he handled i-- a
masterly manner. We will give one of his illus
trations for tbe benefit of those who did not hear
him. He supposed, for argument sake, that there
were some nalt dozen Mormons settled in Put
nam county, with some half dozen wives a piece.
Now. according to their religion, they are emitled
«o as many wives as they please. Their religion
guarantees it, so say they, and as onr Constitution
says that no individual shall be molested on ac
count of his religion, therefore the Mromons ought
not to be troubled, the law against polygamy
should be repealed because it interferes with reli
gious liberty. Well, they settle iu Putnam, the
first thing they kuow they are arraigned aud Iri-d
ter polygamy, sent to the Penitentiary, and if
yon ask them as you see them going down to Mil
ledgeville, for what they were convicted, they will
tell yon for enjoying their religious opinions aud
aoting accordingly ; we hold that our religion euti
ties us to as many wives as we want; you say not,
therefore we are perseonted an 1 proscribed.
The priestcraft of the Catholic Church, from the
highest to the lowest, hold allegiance to the Pope
of Bom —so say their writers—and because wo,
as Americans, ao not feel disposed to pat tbe
reins ot Government in the bands of Catholics
they say they are proscribed.
The voters of the 7th d strict need not have any
fears in regard to Col. Foster’s ability to meet Mr.
Linton Btephen’s m debate upon American prin
ciples, and it Mr. 8. can win any laurels iu a polit
ical rencontre with him, ho is justly entitled to
wear them. Short speeches were als • made by
Mr. Lswib of Hancock, and Messrs. Davis aud
Lawson of Pnlnatn. Mr. Lewis was short, pithy
and to the point. Ths other gontiemon did ciedit
to themselves. The whole affair passed off pleas
antly, nor shonld wo forget to oompliment the la
dies for honoring it with their presenoe, encourag
ing ns by their smiles, and adding beauty aud

The Earthquake in France and Switzerland.
—The whole east of Franco from Valence up to
Meiz felt very perceptibly the shock of earthquake
whioh, as has b.*on already mentioned, did borne
slight damage at Lyons on the 25ih of July at
noon. At Greeneble three or four distinct os ilia
tiona were felt, whioh lasted during a period of
about 8U seconds. The clock of the cathedral was
stopped. At about the same time a strong shock
was felt at Lons-le Sauuier, the oscillations, which
followed each other in rapid succession, appearing
to be in the direction from east to west. Several
of the ceilings of rooraß in upper parts of houses
were cracked, and two chiinueys thrown down.
Some minutes before the shock the cattle cn
several farms iu this neighborhood were heard lo
make that peculiar lowing whioh denotes the fear
of approaching danger. The shock atiiesancon
also lasted for about 89 secc nds. The fuuiture in
rooms was displaced, ho boils set ringing, and
some ceilings cracked. There was no paiticular
atmospheric sign to announce ino phenomenon.
The weather was wet and Btormy, and the barome
ter above “variable.” At Baume, in the Houbs,
the Bhock waa violent, several chimneys being
partly thrown down and others damaged.
At Belvoir, in the same department, the shock,
whioh lasted six - econds, was so violent the houses
wei e felt to rock. Several ohimueys were thrown
down here, and and many walls were much crack
ed. The movement was accompanied by a rum
bling noise and by a strong smell of su.phur. At
Strasbourg the shock was lelt in the midst of a
violent storm and heavy rain. The clock in the
house of the keeper of the cathedral, and situated
on the platform of the building, wus stopped.
The water in the reservoirs was so agitated as to
flow over the edges of the basins. The shock laa
ted nearly a minute. Iu the upper part of one of
tho barracks the soldiers ran om in great li.aiu ....
agining the house was about to fa i. At liijon the
shock which was rather Blight, was felt in the di
rection ot Northeast to Southwest. Tho accounts
received from Italy, Switzerland, an i a part of
Germany agree in stating that the shock extended
to all tho.e oountnes. The time indicated varies
from 10 to 20 minutes paHt 1, but the variation is
probably only oaused by difference of olooks.
among other pi'aoes where ih- shocks were.felt
were Erbaoh, in the Odenwald, Carlsruhe, Friburg,
the Baden Oberlaud. Statgrudi, Ravensburg,
Esslingen, Ploohiogen, dec. In most of the places
two or three oeoiilaliona were fell; they went from

Milan this day, in the direction ot East - or West.
It lasted five secouds, but caused no damage.
Most of the docks in towQ stopped, and the ther
mometer fell from 27 deg. Beaumur to l°.
(98 deg. to 68X deg. Fanrenheit.) The weather
was rainy, and ou the fol’owing morning there

Using a W hole Egg.
A friend told ns a story, a few days since, illus
trating the free, generous character of the Irish,
whioh we consider to good to De lost, and there
fore give it to our readers.
Oar friend’s wife being in delicate health, it was
resolved that a girl should be procured to do the
house work, that the lady might have an opportu
nity to recover her health and spirits.
After visiting an intelligence cfllco for two or
three mornings, a fine buxom bass ot about twenty
years of age, but six months from sweet Ireland,
was selected and tnatrnoted as to the duties that
would be expected of her.
“Now, then,” Bays the lady, “ponr the ground
coffee into the pot, then pour in hot water, and af
ter a few minutes’ boiling, put in one half of an
egg so; and the lady illustrated eaob discripti n
by demonstration. “You understand, don’t you?”
says the lady.
“Indade I do, mum, was the response, “bile the
ooffee, grind in the wather, dhrop in a half of an
egg. Isn’t that it mam I”
“All right now," replied the lady. “Now then,
to-morrow morning we’ll see how well you remem
ber it.”
To-morrow morning came and the coffee was as
good as oould be expected. Toe third morning
came, and to the astonishment of our friend and
wife, the ooffee was undrinkable, and nauseating;
even the odor of it was sickening. Bridget was
called, and questioned, as follows:
“Bridget, did you first put the ground ccffee in
the pot V'
“ Indade I did, mum."
“ Bid you then pour in the hot water ?”
“ dure I did.”
,* How long did you let it boil!”
“Five minutee, mum.”
“ What did you do then ?”
“ I put in the egg, mom."
“ Jnst as 1 showed you the other morning ?”
“ Well, to tell the truth mum,” says Bridget,
giving her garments a hitch witn her brawny hands
“ to isil ye the truth, I would not put in the halt of
the egg, as ye told me, bat the egg was a bad one,
and 1 tnougnt ye wonldu’t mind abont kaping the
half of it, and bo I dbropped in the critter as it
was I”
Disunion. —Col. Benton, who has spoken and
written a vast amount in bis long life, never
crowded more truth and good sense in one short
paragraph, than the following remarks which con
clnde one of the chap ern ot ibe forthcoming se
cond volume of his Thirty Years View, on the
causes of the present discontent in the Sonth :
“ Separation is no remedy for these evils, bnt
the parent of far greater than just discontent or
restless ambition would fly from. To the South
the Union is a political blessing ; to tho North it
is both a political and a pecuniary blessing ; to
both it should be a sooial blessing. Roth sections
should cherish it, and toe North most. The story
of the boy that killed the goose that laid the gold
en egg every day, that he might get all the eggs
at once, was a fable ; but th • Nor .hern man who
oonld promote separation by any course ot wrong
- to the Sontb, would coavert that table into his
i tory —his own history —and commit a folly, in a
mere profit and loss point of view, of which there
is no precedent exoept in fable.”

it is crossed by the words Georgetown, South Caro

After tje parties arrested were secured, officer
bnuth look charge ol Ellis, and oalled Dr. Cbatard,
wno dressed his wound, after which he was
veyed to his plaoe ol residence in South Pace
street, but it is thought he caunot recover.
Ih© police remained in the neighborhood for
some time to prevent further outrage, and while a
posse ot them were standing at the corner ol i’aea
and iicise streets a gang ot ruffians tnr.w brick, at
them and succeeded in escaping.
• difficulty betweeu these companies has ex
isted for some time past, and there have been col
lunons before, in one of whioh a member of the
JNew Murket lost his life, and since that time the
mottbitter euemity has existed. The U nited States
nose and the United Engine Companies had both
crossed fin. Li in ore Si roc too tore the alarm was given
and from information obtained by the High Con
'iable yesterday, there is reasou to believe that
the affair was piemeditated. The same offloer was
further iutormed yesterday that there was an ar
rangetneut to attack the police, and drive them
lroui duty, af.er which an assault would be made
on the house of the Mount Vernon Company and
their apparatus destroyed.
At about twelve o’clock, or two hours after the
above fracas had taken place, there was another
alaimot Are in the eastern section ot the city,
when two most disgraceful scenes were enaoted.—
i'ha Vigilant left her house and went to the corner
of Fayette and Caroline streets, where they oame
in collision with tbs members of lbs Lalayelle
Ot rnpany, who were returning to their house.—
Throe pistol shorn were fired, but it seems no one
was hurt. The police promptly interlerred and
stopped fnrti er outrage.
About the Bame time the Columbia and Dept
ford companies met at the ooruer ot Bond and
(lough streets, when another oollison took place,
and blows mere exchanged, but hore too the police
wero present in time to prevent a mors serious
outbreak.
These outbreaks between tbe companies named
have bees frequent for some time past, and the
Mayor districted most of the companies engaged in
these proceedings, but uufortuualely their dis
tricts covered the ground where the riots took
place. There is now ielt but one conree for the
Mayor to pursue for the safety ol the lives and pro
perty of the oitizans, and that is to promptly close
the doors of the house of every company which,
upon investigation, is proved to have made an as
sault upon another, and at tbe earne time make an
urgent appeal to the active companies not to admit
any ot tho members of the excluded among them.
It that be not done, a reorganization of the whole

Cuba—New Developments.
We are not disposed, at the present time, to
take up any new oause for quarrel with the Ad
ministration, though we are very well aware tbat,
while its domestic policy is so vario is and contra
dictory as to hack lost even the confidence and rea
ped of the members of its own party, its foreign
polioy presents an equally curious mixture of rash
ness and indecision. There is something very
strange and unaccountable in the pertinacity with
whlnti moii of omidl mind, .ill.ooreovoro lo
It is not many months ago, since the rash con
duct of Mr. Soule, and the equally rash manifesto
of the American diplomatists assembled in con
ference at Ost nd, seriously threatened to embroil
us in a war with Spain—the openly avowed motive
of which was tho aequißition of Cuba, “poaceably
if we could, ioroibly if we must.”
The prompt disavowal of all such flllibnstering
principles on the part of the conservative press,
and the prompt endorsement of this disavowal by
the Arne' ican people generally, had the happy el
feot at that time, of inducing the Admi. istration
to discountenance the project it had pre”ionsly en
tertained, and to repudiate sentiments it had pre
viously encouraged. We did hope, that the renun
ciation of the principles of the Oslend manifesto,
and the consequent resignation and return of Mr.
Honle, in conjunction with the temperate and judi
cious course pursued by our “Charge d’Affairs,”
Mr. Ferry, would lead to tbe establishment of a
better understanding with Spain, and a wiser pol
icy on the part ot our own g vernmeut. But it
seems to have been determined that what was be
gan in folly, shall be pr»Beeuted with imprudenoe
—the objeot of the Executive being, evidently, not
to conciliiate Spain by respecting her firm and de
oided refusal to part with Cuba at any price, but to
goad her into tbe commission of Borne overt act
which might Justify us in assuming, at once, a
belligerent attitude, and seizing by the force cf the
strong hand, that glorious island which we cannot
obtain by tne weight oi a plethorio purse.
We do not say tbat the possession of Cuba is
not, in many respects, desirable, provided it oould
be accomplished with honor to ourselves, tor this
iB a question it is not now our intention to discuss;
but we strongly protest, in view of the well known
repugnance of the Spanish government and people
to part with that island at any prioe, against the
attempt recentlymade to re-open negotiations on a
subject so sensitive to Castilian pride, and on
whicn tbe popular and ministerial determination
haß been eo pointedly and energetically expressed.
The tallowing extract from the columas of the Na
tional Intelligenoer, is taken fr-m a letter to
the New York Times, under dale of Paris, August
lB “ Things look sb if Mr. Hodge, our Minister, had
been making some propositions, or perhaps seme
indications to indiscreet persons, upon the con
venience of Spain’s ceding Cuba to us peaoeably
for a large sun ; and it appears that the suscepti
biiity of the Spaniards has again taken t ealarin,
and the press is sud ot new protests repelling eve
iy proposition. The Epoca, Government paper,
the Nevedades, popular piper, and the Eipuna,
Moderado, express theuißelves with muoh warmth
ou this snbject, and recommend tbe America!
Minister not to allow himself to be led away by vain
hopes. The Government itself has thought pro
per to reply to all this in the official Gaxelte, with
the tallowing declaration:

growth of the cotton weed, cansing it to look In
the rows, ’hereby shading the early bolls and pro
ducing tbe rot. This, together with tbe worm,
has cut short the crop. The entire prairie portion
of our county has been peculiarly the favorite re
gion for the ravages of this moat distrective worm,
and from all parts of this section of onr county we
daily learn of their destructiveness. Many crops
which bid fair before the rains set in to make an
abundant yield, are now almoet bare of fruit. Sad
indeed is this state of affairs. We also learn that
the Bandy lands are shedding, snd much injury
has been done them. We sre ooDfident, from the

The Now York Times gives the following intci
es'.lng account of a visit te the Shaker sen lamer
of Niakayuna:
Most sects are sure of their own perpetuatlo
from generation to generation, by virtue of th
general principle that “as the father, so will be th
son. The Presbyterian teache- the tenets of hi
creed to hia sons, till some ol them prove childless

him as a oonvert before he is able to speak plainli
the words ot the prayer she teaches him. So w<
may look lor Presbyterians and Boman Catholic,
nenoelorin, until the coming of the Benson —tht
good time spoken of—when ail eecta are merged
°° nsum ©d in it* great bluza.
out the bhakers have no such natural mothed foi
the propagation of their faith and their shakes.
Bepudiatiug the dootrine ot the marriage, and
teaching that love if more deep than brotherly
atid platonic love, is but another name for lust,
their dependence is npon a meagre proselytism of
adults, the supply of children put by disabled or
dying parents under their guaidianship, and the
fruits of the basket. The latter we suspect is
much tbe most legitimate source of their increase.
A Shaker community ia a great relief to town au
thorities— to its door goes, nicely tncked up in a
basket that scrupulously ignores its owner many
a deserted little one that otherwise would come up
a “town-child,” and be till its “binding-out” a
“town-oharge."
We ouee Happened in at the Niakayuna settle
ment it ia a beautiful village a lew miles west ot
> Troy—upon a Sunday.
> To reach Miskayuua we took a wagon, our party
b.iug some bait a,n in number. Wearrved at
the settlement a iittie before church time, hitched
* our team under the shade of a lofty tree, and juat
glancing at. the red painted factory and housos and
the well oropped greeueward which aurrounded
. and intertaid them all, went directly to the meet
-4 tng house. One end of the room where services
j were held was sent apart by a railing lor “the
world's people,” who never fail, in numners more
or less large, to visit them every Sunday. Here
we took our seat. The remainder ot the capaoious
hail was bare of all iunilure, except a plain wood
en seat on each side against the wall, and a rude
, desk at the end opposite the visiters. The floor
waa very white and polished exceedingly smooth.
Occasionally an Elder would come in at one of the
further doors, regulate a window or point a stran
ger to a seat and return again. At 10% o’clock
both doors at the end opposite ouis wore opened,
and a procession of males on one side and females
on the other entered solemnly, the Elders taking
tho load. All being within the Hall, the two par
lies faced each other and moved neur enough to
gather to have touched, then moved backward until
they app-oached the wall. Then each line broke
into two, still so arranged, however, that the youug
eat Were lartheat from ‘"the world’a people.” Then
followed a succession of shutfling marches and
counter marches, and the wheeling into line, each
party traversing the circumfereuoo of the room in
single hie, ohuuting perpetually, in a monotonous
melody, a sentence ol thanksgiving. This m.lody
was changed at times, bat it never took the form
of any luue we ha-e Been written, nor were the
words ever restrained by any of the common
metres. The inusio most nave been somniferous
lo those accustomed to it, but to ail new comets
it must seem exceedingly comical. It was boru to
the ears of listeners lrom the hearts, chests or
vocal ohords ol the singers, (wherever it origins
ted;) at least one-halt ot it ®.a tho nose. The whole
body moved in ooacert with the Bounds. At Uret,
only the hands were flapped leebly, theu more vig
orously; then tho arms Wok on the same awkward
motion; then the shoulders, and tne head beat
Lime, and tho whole body shuffled in a sort ol
dunce; all went through tho same motions—the old
Ulan with peaked chin, and skin loosely wrapped
about bis bones, and tne mere baby at the end ot
the Hue, evidently rejoicing under ua grave lac.,
that so muoh of life and motion, and so much ol a
times was permitted it. Truly, the minstrels that
drees in white woollen overcoats, aud sing t
i," do not greatly travesty the Shakers when at Weir
worship.
Thu ure.se of the worshippers was no less comi
cal than their songs. Tne men wore long - kirted
coats—antique Shanghuiß, that had the effect to
make ail when tho tacos were hidden, to look ot Ws ,
same ago. All the males wore flat cocked hats, ,
breeches aud stuokii.gs, cheoked cravuis, aud an ,
were in the same drub color, though of different,
shades. The line was arraugod a.ter passing the ,
adults according to the.r height. It was the same
on the other side. The lemales all wore drab (
dresses, with s white handkerchief crossed over
the breast and pinned at We waist. Each wore a ,
white muslin cap of the plainest make, which |
made them look us if they wore so m.ny dead ,
folks come i.p to Shaker meeting in Weir gruvo ,
clothes. At We flrst look one think them a oom
pony of grave old womeu, varying in stature dowu <
to We varießt dwarfs. All seemed as if they must
be wiinkled and oure-worn, yet a closer observe
lion snowed, under Weir ligni caps tnuuy pretty
faces aud beautiful masses 01 hair; but in Wat dis
guise, lrom the prettiest ot the all, Cupid would ,
nave run away in terror. There were young
Mibscs, tender losses, and some very small girls;
bnt no smile lighted any Bolemn face—as for
laughter, they might as well have been already
buried.
When the dancing and chanting had ceased, the
parties retreated lo the wail on either side and sat
down, the males iucipg Lhulemalt#.

glimmered from under the cerement of Kachei’s,

her in meeting; and if the maiden’s heart ever
sottens to Ezekiel more than to Samuel, we sup
pose she is ajadged guilt?of a sin, but such sins
Nature prompts to, aud must delight to lorgive,
and this feature oi the Shaker’s polity certainly
not from (4oc l, but tho DosiJ. VVO QiUHI
had settled after tne aanee, siapa
at the end, and with the remark that the Spirit
came to him while he was in the held on the third
day, moving him to prepare some thoughts, he
b gged the (ireot Spiiit that they might warm
and oomiort the hearts of believers, and be au
arrow oi oonviction lo the hearts oi the world’s
people.
The discourse, which was certainly orthodox m
length, was a very good moral leoture, with few
points oi difference irom a common New England
sermon, except in the direct address to outsiders,
in which the advantages of their style of lile was
set forth in glowing terms.
Tne exorlulion ended, the people rose again,
shuftsd and sung another chant, and then diaap
pearud as they had enle :ed in single hie.
The visitera quietly departed, nut at the door
“Joseph” met us i (he had recognised us in the
midst of the Bhaking,) aud whispering us to meet
him at the store, disappeared. Now the store is
the show room ; and it was not open on Seven
teenth, except for convenieuoe of egress from
another apartment.
Oi course nothing oonld be brought on that day,
but while our alien non was invited to thiß or that
article of Shaker Manufacture, we were told that
if we deßired to take any little keepsake with us
we oould do so, and Samuel would see us at our
hotel on fair-day, and have ft made right. Then,
alter a stroll along the clean and well kept walks,
through green pastured lands and thrifty gardens,
Joseph led ue to a diningroom, and inaisted that
we should sit down and lunch. Hungry men do
not need to be nrged much to eat suon fare
as we saw spread out, and yet we hesitated. The
elders who honored us with their presence had
taken seats, and there were only enough left ior
our party, though several aged sisters were in the
room. Our gallantry —but it was of no use. The
females and males never eat together, and our in
sisting upon it only made them smile at our in
experience.
But what a lunch ! There wore cold boiled
meat and roaet most in abundance. There was
mush, and a style ol pudding we nave never seen
before —hominy, boiled Bump, and cracked corn,
with milk that comes lrom cows I Thera wab but
ter yellow as gold, and butter white Irom its lute
work ug—according to the pasture the cows led
ou. The bread wan “nome-mude,” of the sort
that bakers can’t make, and tbe biscuits threaten
ea to rival the bread in size. There were pump
kin pies and apple pies, and dried app.e pies, with
plenty of alspioe in. Bo wheu wo arose irom our
lunch we were stiffed to the degree that we woulo
not have given a Ug lor the best dinner ever pianu
ed by mortal man. We left, ua all leave altera
visit to aoUuker settlement, with exnailed ideas oi
Shaker hospitality, order, ne luene and econo
my; thinking it an island of calmness in a world
that is ail raging ocean beside ; a still place amin
storma aud never-ceasing commotions. But we
were more than ever impressed that it was a liv
ing tomb for one who has the passion oi men and
tne Bpiril ot the times in his bones, though indeed
atomb whose doors any occupant many throat
back on tUeir hinges if he ha. the courage to do so.
lIIPBOVED Teueobaphio I'binti.no Iwstbukent.—
The editor* ol the National intelligencer hare
ueen in operation, a beautiful inßtrunrent, the
wonderful propertiea of whioh are the invention
ol Mr. David fc. Hughes, aciliienof Kentucky.
In a conversation with this unassuming uud iutel
ligenl individual, Bay the editors, we have learued
that he devoted lour years almost exclusively to
the study ol the Kiectro Telegraph, and that ho
now thinkß be has brought his improvements in it
to such perfection as to be worthy ol the attention
of the world; and, irom what we have seen auo
been told of the modus operandioi his machinery,
we are disposed to tninx bo too. Kveu were we
capable, we do not leel that we have a right to
enter into any minute description of Hub tele
graphic printing instrument; but we may atate
that it seems to possess great advantages over all
the present modes of telegraphing. Home of these
are. that it prints with the most astouisbing ra
pidity, that it communioates and receives lutslli
ience at the same moment, that its peculiarity of
construction is snob as to cut oft, when desirable,
from all immediate stations, the knowledge of a
me-sage sent from one distant point to another, so
that any person in Waahington, tor example,
wishing to oonvey a secret to his friend in Boston
or New Orleans, may do eo with as much privacy
as it he were whispering it into his ear. He has
only to give notice to that friend to attend at a
specific hoar at the Telrgraph office, and such is
the simplicity of working the instrument that the
one may transmit and the other receive the mos
sage without the co o> eration of an agent, though
neither may kuow auy thing ot the principles of
telegraphing. It is only necesoary that they should
knowhow to spell and readl Another great
beauty ot the invention is, that it may be read.ly
attached to any ol the telegraphio modes of cor
respondence now in use; and tne principles upon
which the power of the natural and electro-mag
nets are brought into requisition are such as to
admit of the transmission of messages in any con
dition of the atmosphere.
It the invention ot Mr. Hughes will accomplish
all that is here claimed for it, its importance cannot
be overrated. What, however, the telegraph now
needs is something that will reouoe its cost as
means of communication and tiros bringj
general use. If the exorbitant charges that h.ve
lately been adopted by tbe principal 1 me » B „ 0 f
