Ailrewa la Llacolaioa.
August 85th, 1855.
Me. Esitob :—Yesterday was a proud day for
the American party in L'ncoln. The people as
aemoled by hundreds to beer oar standard bearer
'■scabs in his forcible and convincing manner the
great principles of the American party. He
dwelt at length on three prominent Bnbjecta con
tained in the programme of American principles,
to wit: the question of Slavery, and as immediate
ly connected with that, the practical question of
the admission of Kansas as a Slave State, and the
Foreign and Catholic questions. It has never
been my let to listen to a speech more replete
with sennd argument and statesman-like views,
and noble end generous bearing toward op
ponents, than that of Judge Andrews on that
occasion. He stated his propositions clearly and
distinctly, and adduced in their support an array
of facts that carried borne conviction to the mind.
He showed that tbe National Democracy were not
strong enough, nor sound enongh on tbe Slavery
question to secure the admission of Kansas as a
Slave State.
That party in the free States was becoming abo
lition zed, and was rapidly decaying and falling
to pieces, 'ihere were no hopes of gaining new
strength to Slavery from that source. Tbe Ameri
can party presented the only hope of now acces
sions of sound aud true men from the free States.
That party was eminently sound on the Slavery
question. Tbe free States that groaned under the
weight of foreign immigration and Catholic ag
gression, would endorse our pla form and stand
by the Constitutional rights of the South, if the
South would unite with them in so amending tbe
naturalization laws as to protect them against this
oppression. There had been a sad declension in
the late Northern elections of the friends of the
Kansas Bill. Many true Democrats have voted
for that bill, and he honored them for it, and
many had been defeated in consequence of those
votes, when the question was referred to the peo
ple. The masses of these States were opposed lo
the repeal of the Missouri restriction, and had
ever been, and wore opposed to the admission of
Kansas as a Slave State. The South would be a
unit. But Kansas could not be admitted without
more help from the North. The South should
unite with the Bound men of the North to save the
Union from threatened disruption.
He contrasted the Philadelphia Platform with
the resolutions adopted at Baltimore in 1868, by
the Democratic Convention which nominated Mr.
Pierce, and showed how full aud complete was the
former on the great and paramount question of
slavery, while the latter studiously avoided any
expression of opinion on the right of a State to
come into the Union with such institutions as it
may desire; the power of Congress in the territo
ries and in the District of Columbia; and had pub
lished to the world a standing bid for the foreign
vote in tho B'h Resolution, which declared that
enconrrgement to foreign immigration was a “car
dinal principle of the demociatic faith ; and every
ultempt to abridge tho present privilege of becom
ing citizens, aud the owners of soil among us
ought to be resisted with the same spirit which
swept tho slion and Bedition laws from onr statute
book.”
In the Catholic and foreign questions hie argu
ments wore incontrovertible. In allusion to the
unfairness and gross misrepresentations of our
opponoota in charging us with religious intoler
ance, he called upon an indignant people to frown
upon euoh gross perversions. The only disquali
fication hold by the party was allegiance to a for
eign powor, and this applied not only to Catholics
but to every .body. Ho had yot to find the man
who would say ho would vote for aDy one owing
allogianco to a foreign power. If Catholics did
not thoy wero eligible to office by the American
parly. He showed by statistics the strergth of the
foreign elemont in the United States, and the set
tlement of the great majority of that population
in the free States, and bow it would overwhelm
our country, and extinguish our nationality, if the
danger was not warded off by the timely precau
tion and patriotism of the American people. He
argued ably and at length all the prominent fea
tures of the American platform.
He demolished tho Cuba monstrosity. The ob
jectors who heard this portion -f the speech, I
havo no doubt are ashamed of their folly.
This able speech of more than two hours in
length, was listened to with profound attention,
and was often interrupted with demonstrations oi
applause. The day moved off harmoniously, and
agroeably. Tho American party are emphatically
on rising ground in Lincoln. Sam looks exceed
ingly cheerlul, and walks about iu all the dignity
of his nature, firm in the truth of a noble cause.
I will not omit a meritod tribute to the many “ma
trons and maidens fair— that graced the occasion
with their preeenco and their smiles. And after par
taking oi a sumptuous barbacne, the brethren had
tho pleasure of rocoiving into the family a goodly
number of true Americans, with the prospect of
several others Bbortly. This will more than fid
np the hiatus caused by the retirement of a certain
one of the “npper-ten” of which we have been
recently advert scd. Such noise don’t affect Sam’s
nerves. Thunder does but little damage unat
tended by the “electric spark.”
ln conclusion, I would make a brief allnsion to
the report of the Secretary of an “Anti Know
Nothing” meeting held at Lincolnton on the 14th
inst., and which report Mr. Secretary borrowed
from some “Bombastes Furioso ’ that drives an
erring quill. In that report wo are told that Col.
Thomas, of Klberton, followed in a speech of two
honrß in length, “completely demolishing” the
arguments of Messrs. Moore and Strother. The
writer has a brilliant imagination, and has made
heavy draughts npon it sure enough. The fact is,
better judges are of opinion Col. Thomas never
made expenses in that controversy. And we are
certain the last and loudest of the “demonstra
tions of applause ’ was made by the American
party, which it is believod were the more numerous
on the occasion. So far from being “demolished,”
we are moving onward. Thediecussion has help
ed us and our pr if pects are brightening every day.

For the Chronicle & Sentinel.
Mb. Editor: —Sorao huge Philanthropist, evi
dently burdened with the charity of Know Noth
iugisrn, aud modestly styling himself “A Native
Democrat,” has seen fit to question me again res
pecting “f he time token, and plaeetohere” those Ke
verend gentlemen, Roman Catholic Priests, named
in my reply to ‘‘Native American,” as coming from
a foreign land, had taken the oath of allegiance to
the Constitution of the United States—in order
that he might “examine the records and do us jus
tice.”
Now, Mr. “A Nativo Democrat,” if this be your
real purpose, I will meet you at the Chronicle &
Sontiuel Office, or any other public place, when
you and your political friends may be satisfied upon
this print. 1 will do this on the condition that
you will name your time and place, and give it the
publicity as you did the question. This I
will call doing ns justice. It will set us properly
before the community. You, as the individual
meriting Vie gratitude of all native Americans,
alias Know Nothing party, for your keenness in
keeping such vigilance on Catholics; while yoar
premise to do juitice to them , in this forlorn argu
m-nt, (a pretty good evidence of your party’s dis
comfiture,) will cause you to become known to, at
least, a portion of Catholics, thus affording them an
opp rtunity to manifest their appreciation of your
disinterestedness!
If you should decline meeting me as I propose,
I have the right to infer that you are only try
Log to practice the same tricks on the community
as your party is doing in relation to all Catholios
of this country. You prescribe Catholics as un
worthy to hold office on account of their laith—
dangerous to the country, Ac., and in the same
breath, )on favor the annexation ol Cuba, whose
Catholic popnlaticn amounts to something over
1,800,000, in white and black 1
Suppose, Mr. “Native Democrat,” yonr question
could not be answered affirmatively, what bearing
wonld it have on the political issues of the day f
I apprehend none at all. Yonr objactis indirect
ly to impngn the loyalty of that class of our ciU
sms, and to insinuate that, as they are subject, in
spiritual matters to his Holiness, the Pope, they
owe allegiance to the same extent in temporal
matters. This is the inferrence you wish to draw,
and have drawn, from their not taking the oath of
allegiance to the Constitution of these United
State*—and by this spaciousness of argument,
bring ail Cathodes under the temporal allegiance^
This evidently is jour purpose. But it won’t do.
“Ovasn’g” trukt are known now. You must be
aware that he has been unveiled in Virginia, North
Carolina, Teni esee, Alabama, Texas, and it see >. s
the better the people become acquainted with him
(notwithstanding his frequent changea to please)
the lees confidence he inspires—and the greater
their aversion. His countenance and proteseione
are alike deceptive!
My silence must be attributed to the supreme
ooctempt that I felt for so frivolous a querry as that
put by Mr. “Native Democrat.” —1 could ha-e sa
tisfied him immediate y, but thought it not worth
while to give tbe facts aeied for, whan not a tinfu
•oiifssy inrtuiMin this country can be cited against
the character sf oor clergy—their fidelity to the
institutions of onr Republic. Their whole history
is an open book which refntee every elander against
their loyalty to the Cnited Btates'. 1 ckalitnji
one ituiana to tie oontrary !
Can you say as much for your 8000 Prote slant
Abolitionist preachers at the North, who, after the
pa-sage of the fcgiuve slave law petitioned Con
gress to repeal ill Have yonr oocstitutional rights
ever been assailed or obstructed by our beloved
clergy—the Roman Catholic Priests! Is there
known extant, a more able defenoe of our peculiar
Institution of slavery than was made by the illus
trious end lamented Bishop England! Can you
furnish te the world ought to equal it in ergu-
AUGUSTA. GA.. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1855.
meet I Is not that evidence enough lo convince
you of the fervid devot on of our Priests to the
institutions of the land aud the attachment to the
Constitution and the Republic.
Why not then do justice to them? IThy allow
misrepresentations to go abroad calcula-ed to in
flame prejudice by tbe Know Nothing party? Has
their cause no other method of increasing their
strength ?
Fehiicol duocmjiture bnowct’i no confine! The
prospeet of your total annihilation in Georgia,
brightens every day, and by next October 1 am
satisfied the answer that will be given you by tbe
people, through tbe ballot box, will be, that they
are not to ignorant on the point you question me
upon, and fully appreciate _,oar proffer of servicee
to do us justice.
With the view of facilitating your perfect satis
faction, I mention that—
The Right Rev. John England, native of Deland,
and Roman Catholic Bishop for the Diocese of
North and South Carolina, Georgia aud Florida,
was naturalized in Charleston, S. C., the 6th of
February, 1826, when he took the oath of alle
giance to the Constitution.
Ths Rev. Peter Whelsn, a native of Ireland,
and Roman Catholic Priest, took the oath of in
tention in Charleston in the year 1889, aod became
a citiam by taking the oath of allegiance to tie
Constitution, on the 28th of September, 1889, in
Warrenton, Ga.
The Rev. Edward Quig'ey, a native of Ireland,
and Boman Catholic Priest, teok tbe cath of in
tention in company with two other Clergymen,
the Kiv. William Burke, aud the Rev. John
Doyle, 18 years ago in Charleston, when he re
nounced by oath all foreign allegiance in public
Court, and became a cili'an in Savannah, Ga.,
on the 80th of
The Rev. Gentleman writing to me on tbe sub
ject remarks, “ as to myself, you will obßerv3 from
my former letter, that there is an interval of 18
years batween my preliminary oath and the final
execution of my papers as a citizen. It arose sim
ply from this, that politics of any kind wore not
my profession, and were it not for the “ Know
nothings," I would still have no document to
prove allegiance to the United States, but the
unseen document ot my heart, and ths visible one of
my public oath eighteen yean ego in ths Court of
Charleston I”
In giving publicity to this part ot his letter, I
Intrude upon privacy without any authority, for
which I hold myeelf responsible to tho author.
Respectfully, A Catholio.

fectly satisfactory to the members of that party
who were present in numbers equaling if not ex

The writer also says, that Stephens and John

them like Soriven. The October election will

The New York Tribune gives an account of a
Pio Nick of Spiritualists, which took place recent
ly at West Flushing. Among the incidents de
scribed is the following:
“At a short distance from where we stood wo
noticed a little group closely intent upon some
operation. After ale v minutes we went to see
what was going on. Wo founds young woman,
Mrs. Van Winkle, of Washing'on City, who ex
hibited to us her left arm, which evidently had
been diseased. Large sorcAUiad partially or
entirely healed up, leaving >rs, and the
arm was quite attenuated. She and her friends
declare that for months past she had been unable
to straighten her arm, the cord was bo drawn as to
bring it to a right angle at the elbow. But Romo one
having requested Mr. Larkin, one of the mediums
present, to see what was the matter with her, he,
being qnito unacquainted with the lady while
under the influence of what soemed to be an In
dian apiril, had asce.tained the ailing, and 1;- five
minutes’ manipulating had restored her arm so
that she could struighten it like the other. This
we saw her 00, much apparently to her astou sh
ment and delight!

The Size or Mam. —A ridiculous statement has
run through the papers of Adam’s being 128 feet
high, Eve 118, Noah 108, &c. The Kgyptain
munmies, if they are good for nothing else, prove
the interesting tact that for three or tour thousand
years paßt, man has not changed in stature. If,
therefore, no diminution of it has taken place in
the coarse of all that time, but the average size of
the race is the same now as three or four thousand
years ago, is there the least probability that it was
materially different in the two thousand years pro

Health or Mobile.—The Advertiser of the 26th
inst., says: The list of interments for the week
shows a decrease in the mortality from the last
report, and argues a very favorable condition Os
the public health. Os the deaths 9 were under
ten and 3 were upwards of sixty years of age. Os
the remainder, three were deaths by violence or
casualty, and no two others were by similar
diseases. The whole number of interments for
the week is 9£. The mortality for the correspon
ding week last year was 18, of whom but 1 was
from casualty and 1 by yellow fever.
The weather the same week last year was warm
and wet, raining some every day. The early part
of last week was cool for the season and damp, and
the last two days have been warm and showary.
The mortality for the corresponding week in 1858
was 27, exclusive of the yellow fever, which then
prevailed here I In 1852 it was 14, and in 1851,
12. On the whole we ought to be grateful for our
present healthful condition.
A number cf negroes of Boston who had organ
ized under the name of “Maseasoit Guards,” with
the intention of forming and appearing as a militry
corps, recently applied to the Commander-in Ch es
for a loan of Massachusetts State arms, and received
notice that their application was refused. A letter
from Governor Gardner to Kobort Morris, Esq.,
first Lieutenant ot the organization, contained the
opinion of Attorney General Clifford in the matter
which was in accordance with the refusal of His
Excellency.

“To the Honorable Council and House of Repre

and although I am stil! of the same mind, yet it is
doe that I should inform you that I have received
official notification of my removal, aud that until

It is said the reading of the letter produced roare
of laughter from the opponents of the Governor.
The deaths in New York, last week, amounted

were tnen called, who (nearly proved that this was
tne belief 0! two cf tne witnesses olj ctad to—the
third admitting it to oe his fai;h, in open oourt,
without question. It was then proposed to prove
that the Uaiversalist doctrine, which, t was said,
tnese people p otessed, . aught tuture punishments
though not eleruat. Tne Court held that it did
not exclude tbe witnesses on the ground oi their
beiDg Uuiversaiisls, but on the principle ot the
common law, that mskos the belief in a fntnre
state ot rewards and pureuhmmts the test as to the
competency of a witness objected to on the ground
ot religious belief, and taut it was unnecessary to
enquire into tne religious' enets of any sect—an en
quiry generally of great d fflculty. What the wit
nesses believed, had proven by proper and
legal evidence. The Universslists, author quoted,
might have one faith ; »”d the witnesses ieudered
another. One of the r jemed witnesses then moved
to prove that ho believed in a future stale of re
waida and punishments, though not in eternal
punishments. The Court held that he should be
permi ted to do so; butou ca'liDg witnesses, he
was unable to restore his competency in that way.
Tiiat these witnesses were incompetent to testily
by the common law, was not controverted. The
State’s counsel relied on the loth sec. of the
4th article of the Constitution of Georgia, which is
in the following words:
“No person within this State shall upon any pre
tence be deprived of the inestimable privilege of
worshipping Godin a manner agreeable to hie own
conscience; nor be compelled to attend any place
ot worship, contrary to his own taith aud judge
ment; nor ahull he over be obliged to pay tithes,
taxes, or any other rate, tor tho building or repair
ing any place of worsh p, or tor t 6 meintainance
of any minister or ministry, contrary to what he
believes to be right, or has voluntarily euguged
lo uo. No one religious society shall ever bo
“stablished iuthisfctatc to another,
nor aholi any person be ’Sealed the enjoyment ot
any civil light merely on account of his religious
principles.”—Brince’s Digest, pags 812.
They contended, on the part of the State, that
if oaths could not be administered to some persons,
on account ot their religious opinions, they might
be prevented from holding office, could not claim
pioperty, or do any other ac - . requiring an oath.
* Tne defendant’s counsel relied on the common
law principle laid down in the books of evidence,
(though none were read or cited,) which tenders
incompetent all persons to testily, who do not be
lieve in a future state ol rewards and punishments.
They also relied on the oiuse of Atwood vs. Wel
don, 7 Oouu. Rep. p. 66, and which i* reported in
tho following words in Wheeler’s American Com
mon Law Reports, vol. Blh, page 484 :
On tho trial ot tho cause, one Scott was offered
as a witness, by the plaintiff, but was objected to
oy tho deteudant on the ground that ho did not
ooiievo in the existence ot a Supremo E iug» uor
in future rewards and punishments, nor iu a mturo
state; and o those points several witnesses were
examined, by wnotn it was proved that said Scott
professed to believe iu the doctrine ot tho Uui
verbalists, and in the existence ot Supremo Be
lug ; that men were {.anished in this life for their
me, but would all be made happy immediately alter
death, by t eir Creator.* The judge admitted the
witness, aud he testified in the cause.”
44 Verdict for the plaintiff, and motion for a pew
trial.”
Dttgget J. in giving his oponion, says :
“In the view which 11 ko of the condition of
this witness, he should not have been admitted.
The q testiou is not, whether a person whobolievos
in any future punishment, though not endless,
may be admitted as a witness ; but whether a per
son, who denies a.l punishment after this life, and
who, in the language of the motion, believes that
men will be punished ,in this life lor their sins,
but immediately after their death, be a compete t
wi ness. The doctrine, as now established in this
country and England, is, that if a person believed
n God, the ave.ger of falsehood, in a future state
of rewards and punishments, ho may boa witness,
and not otherwise. It, on enquiry of witnesses
it is satisfactorily proved that the person does not
believe in a future state of rewards and punish
ments, there is not that tie upon his conscience,
and of course, that sanction which the law re
quires ; and therefore, he ought not to be sworn.
This is the rule of the common law ; and there is
no adjusted case,and barely & dictum, in the Eng
Ush books against it. In Juckßon ex dem., Tuttle
vs Gridley, 13 John’s Kep. 98 ; Curtis vs Strong,
4 duy, 51 ; Swift’s Ev. 48 ; 1 Swift’s Dig.7B9, thiß
doctrine is laid down, and ithe te&£oni.ig very sat
istactory. A ir.w trial must be granted.
“Hosmer, C. J. aud Lanmau J. wore of tho same
opinion.”
“Peters, J. dissented.”
Defendant’s counsel relied on, aud read the
op’nion of Spencer J., given in the ease of Tuttle
vs. Gridley, ISth Joan’s Bep., ll)8, and particularly
the following portion thereof:
“By the law of England, which has been adopted
in this State, it is fully and clearly settled, that m
fble'e who do not believe in a God, or if they do, do
not think, that He will either reward or pan, eh, them
in the world to come, cannot be witnesses in any
cue, nor under any circumetanc s; b-cause an oath
cannot possibly be any tie or obligation upon them.
Beligion is a subject on which overy man has a
right to think according to the dictates of bis un
derstanding. It is a solemn concern betw en his
conscience and bis God, with which no human
tribunal has a r ght to meddle. But in the devel
opment ot fucts and tbe EBcorlaiumout of truth,
human tribunals have a right to intorlere. They
are bound to see that no man’s rights are impairod
or taken ftway, but through the medium oi testi
mony eu'Hiflu A.-V.—ieftasA n- Ustimcny is enti
tled to credit, ttuiess delivered under the solemni
ty of an oath, wh’cb comes home to tbe cc scienco
of the witness, and will creates tie arising from
his belief that false swearing would expose him to
punishment in the life to come. On this great
principle rest all our institutions, and especially
Che distribution of iuatiou between man and man.”
And for the purpose of showing that the Legis
lature of Georgia, so far from repealing the com
mon law, have reoogn z;d the principle whenever
it had become necessary to legislate on the subject,
the prisoner’s counsel read the set of 1756, au
thorising an affirmation to be administereJ where
a witness might have any conscientious struplos as
to swearing. ......
The form of the affirmation, prescribed by the
act is in the following words: “I. A. B, do
swear, in the presence of Almighty God, as 1 shall
answer at the awlul day of judgment, that (as
the case may be.”; See Prince's Digest, page 80.
They argued that the Legislature held it essen
tial that the affirmant should recognise the doo
trine that ho would be accountable at “the groat
and awlul day of judgement,” if ho should affi'm
falsely ;and that answering at the “day of jidge
meut ” pro supposes a stale of future rewards and
pun’s’hments, lor that we conldhardily supposo a
“great and awful day ol judgement” if all are to
bo eternally happy. ...
For the same purpose, the statute was read,
directing who shall be witnesses on the trial of
slaves or froe persons of color, whioh declares that
“auy witness snail be sworn, who believes in God
and in a future Btate of rewards and punishment,”
&e. See Prince’s Digest, 792. It was insisted,
therefore, that the legislature, so far as they had
intermeddled with the common law doctrine on
the subject, seems fully to recoguise it* provision,
that a belief in a future state ot rewards and pnu
ishments was necessary to the competency of a
witness; for that they would hardily require a wit
ness to believe in a luture state of rewards and
punishments, to render him competent to swear
against the slave,and not against a whiteman;
that the legislature, when this act was passed,
seemed fully to understand that by the common
law, a witness should at all events believe in a state
of future rewards and punishments before he
conld be sworn, for all other objections, except
the want of this belief, where, by the act, waved.
By it, a negro having this belief, would be compe
tent, and a whiteman, warding it, incompetent.
In the course of the argument, that portion of
Washington’s farewell address was read, which
when inculcating a reg rd to religion and morali
ty asks “wnere is the security for property, for
reputation, for life, ifthe sense of religious obliga
tion desert the oaths which are the instruments of
investigation in courts of justice*”
The Court in its decision, held that the Common
Lew seemed not, and it believed could not, be con
troverted ; that it permitted the oath of at y one of
any religious belief, whether Jew, Mahometan, or
those professing the Gentoo red gion, provided he
should be ieve in a state ot future ~ewarda and
puniehmente ; but that such belief, hy the Common
Law seemed indispensable to the c impotent of
the witness; t at it bad been plain y proven—not
by interrogating the witnesses themselves, as to
their religions belief—but by other competent tes
timory, that they did not believe in a state of f u
ture reivarde and juniehnunt. And though the
court had decided mat they w:uld be competent,
it they could show that they believed in future
rewara and punishments, though not eternal, yet
they had tailed to make it appear, that such was
their belief. ... ~ ,
The court was dearly of opinion, that the ex
clusion of the witnesses did not violate the sea
tion of the Constitution relied ou by the State's
counsel, inasmuch as the rejection would not de
prive themot the privilege of "worshippi- g God in
a manner agreeable to their own consciences;” nor
would their exclusion from testifying “compel
them to attend any place of worship contrary to
their own faith aDd judgment;” neither would it
establish one relitrious society in this Stale in pre
ference to another, nor would they thereby be do
nied the enjoyment of any civil right. When a
question should arise, in which the witnesses’ civil
r ghts should be involved, and bis oath should be
necessary to assert them, it would then be in time
to consider such a case. Such was not then the
question before the court. The witnesses were
not proposing to take an oath to interpose a olairo,
to qualify themselves to hold an office, or to assert
any other of their civil rights. They had been
snbpeenaed to test’fy between two indifferent par
ties! Though it be a duty lor them to attend in
obedience to the process ot the court, they have no
right to swear in the case. If they have, then
could they swear voluntarily, and if obstructed in
such right, would have a remedy ; for the law has
provided a remedy for the denial of every right.
Though considered a burthen, and often a heavy
one tnis is the first time that it has been claimed
as a’ right, for a witness to swear in a cense in
which he has no interest. 6nppo e the State had
chosen to proceed without call ng these witnesses,
conld they have oome into court, and claimed it as
a right to be sworn; and ,f denied, to what reme
dy would they have appealed I The answer is ob
vtous, and they bad no right to swear, but if sworn
would have been in the performance of a duty in
obedience to the r recess of the court. Indeed the
witness sdo not claim to be sworn, but are offered
by another, as the right of another—the State, and
not of the witness
-1 f a duty which a man may be compelled to per
form, and which be cacDOt perform, nnUrw per
mitted, regardless of h’s wishes, be kit r%gH, then
is the English language incapable of representing
distinct ideas- As the difficulty alluded to by
the State’s counsel, that might arise from want of
proof in some cases, if such witnesses should be
rejected, it was held to be a matter for the con
sideration of the Ugutature entirely. In the
language of J. Spencer, they had the right and
power to prescribe who should be competent wit
nesses. It was the business and dnty ot tbe court,
t' at could not be avoided nor evaded, to administer
the law whether govd or bad—and not to make or
alter it. Such tbe coart believed to be the Om
mon Law, adopted by a statute of this State, (See
Brince’s Dig**, 57«,) and standing as it is be
lieved, unaltered, must be enforced.
No argument having been had as to how the
Common L>w stood, no antnorit es were read ex
cept the Slate reports above alluded to. It will
therefore be proper to give a few extracts from the
bocks of evidence, to shew those to whom they
are not accessible, how far the Court’s recollection
was sustained by its provisions.
Speaking of ihe incompetency cf witnesses on
account ot their religions belief. Philips says, (vol.
1, old ed. page 18,) “onr law therefore, like that
oi most other civilised coo--tries, require a witness
to belisve .hat there is a God, mud a future etmte
of rncardt ami pumuKmenU, and that by Ukiug
the oath he imprecates uivine vengeance upon
himself if his evidence shall be false.”
Speaking on the same subject, Starkieieys, (Ist
voi, Btaikie’a E*. p»*« 80,) “thence it follows,
that all is may be swj-i! as witnesses who
brieve in the eadotanoe ot (rod, in a future state cf
rewarks and punishments, and in the obl'gati .n Ji
art oath, that is, who be ieve that divine punish
meats will be the cor,s<*quorce of pe jjrvj and
therefore Jews, Mahometans, Gent'*?', fa short
person, of any stct possessed cf btlif ares_>
fa>* competent witnesses” Mr. Christian, in a
note to 8 1 Black, (page B'9 ) says, that in t’eaa’s
Bep. 11 ‘‘Bailer Jus. h.ld that the picpsrquestion
to be asked of e witness, is, whether he believes
in God. the obligation cf en oath, end in a future
stateef reward undpunishments " in fcwiii/a evi
deuce, 47, it is said, he saaclionofan: oath depen is
upon higher considerations that the tomporal
points and pen 1 ies of .perjury ; for in mauy in
stances, from the nature of the transaction, the
witness must be beyond their re ch. There is not
on y a moral obligation to speak the tru*b, en
forced by aremor.*.e of conscience fora violation cf
it ; but there is religious sauctiou ari.-ing from a
belief in the existence of a God, and a luture
sta e of rewards and pnuishmeuts.”
It was reported ou one ba-d, during the trial,
that in the Oomulgoe circuit, the presi ing Judgo
would not permit the religious belie! of a witness
to b 3 questioned in any way, bat on the other, it
was suid the Court only objected to the witness
being questioned as to his religious opinions, but
never refused to permit them to be proven by
oth-r witnesses, as was done in the case under
consideration. It was also reported during the
argument, that, iu the Webern circuit, a witness
objected to, because he did not bo levo a state ol
luture rewards and punishments, was hold to be
incompetent, Bnd was not sworn.
From these views, the Court felt itself compelled
to say that the of jastiou to iho competency of the
witnesses was we.i takeu, and they were accord
ingly excluded.

To the People of <leuri(!a on Prohibition.
FtlLow Cdis ns: —fiiviug beeuappoiu ed by the
Temperauce Convention bled at Marietta. t>
addiess you in support of the ac ion ot that bo y
and also in b«bali ot the Prohibition cuus , and
Prohibition C.iudid t*B gene ally, we undertake
Ice task with a sense of resp nai ility such as we
have raieiy ever felt on an - iorr er oecasu n. Our
observation is, t at it is v ry difficu t for the v r p
ulurmindto en or appree ate the words of
sober le son, wlenever it happens to be transport
ed, as it now is, will delirium of political excite
ment. Vet, we must believe thu the masses ot
Georgia derire to kuow the trath. However much
we may sn pect the moti.es ol a few party leader.-,
yet wo believe the great body of the psoplu to bo pa
triotic. The most of them recjgniz l e force of a
Christian obligation upon them to do whatever tho
good of the Stato demands.
Entertaining these views of your honesty ami
patriotism, tellow cilizeus, we tool oncourug d to
hope that you will txirnine our position, and
judge of them iu tho light of the arguments boroin
set lorth, aud not conclude that we are in error,
without blf rding us a opporiiuit to provo that
we are not. Is it possible that we may no right iu
the grounds we have taken? If you tay noi, you
claim infallibility; and this aprerta us to no finite
mind. We may do rght—you admit it. Therefore
a matter ol so much importance as this is co*iended
to be is surely worth while inquiring into. It is so
death, lull oi j or sorrow, of wtal or woo, of life or
ol heaven or hell, that if it is not certain whetb
er you or we berigh' iu this issue, you dare not
pass it by lightly. You dare not guess at it, nor
leave it to mere chance, eit er to devolopo the
truth or to determine the fate of this precious in
terest. We charge you, that you set it as
one of tho indifferent issues of politics merely—not
simply a rallying point for a party—a thing of so
little importance U at an error committed now muy
be corrected hereafter, wi'hout leaving any trace
of mischief behind it. Beware of this delusion.
Shou'd you tkothe wrong path now, be it for
over so small a distance, the wrecks of tnr«i y im
mortal hopes must be sir wu in your track—nopcs
that rufiv never be recovered.
With these solemn convictions weighin'? upon
our minds, we participated iu the councils and ac
quiesced in tho action cf tho late Murictia Conven
tion. The proceedings ol that body have been
greatly deplored and highly censured in some
quarters. Whether this regret and Vis condem
nation be the offspring ot enlightened patriotism
or of parly predilections, is not for us to d ter
mine. Os one thin i wo are snro. The action of
that Convention was taken in the fear ot God, ai d n
lull vi* wof as ;turo retribatiou. Havoing take .
a miuuto survey of all the points in tho fioid, tho
Couventi'n did not see how they vould, innocent
ly, act otherwise than as they did. Aro wo u>-kod
why we uid not vote klr.Overby out of the fields'
We answer : That Convention cluimed no j .ris
diction io the premises, not hoi- g the ono which
first made the nomination. Wly then <iid Um
adopt him as tht-ir candidate ? tor several reasons:
They had no oaudidute, and they desired to have
one. Mr. Overby was already ou the field, aud as
worthy a man as aDy to bo found ou the field oi
off ot it ; »»nd «houv nhe had been nomiuat ;d by
the prohibition party, in Contention, oi February
last, yet tho Marietta Convention wer willing to,
as they did, |r boulder tho pm*form of that Atlanta
Convention, a> d they could precoive no manly
reason why they ahou d reject a candidate who
could so luithfully represent their views and tbeir
interest . Therefore, they cor ialiy opened their
arms to him, without onco or qnirir g what direc
tion the spoils would take in the event of success.
Though they claim no right to command the can
didu eof another party to retire, yet they did c aim
the right to adopt tha 1 candidate if the chose;
they aid claim tho right to say to prohib tionists
we are pie sod with your candidate, sn will inks
him to b - our own; we will vote lor him in Octo
ber.
It may be proper to add, that Mr. Overby’s
riouds did not bring his uamo before tho Convcn
tion. H's name was sprung upon the : eetin/ by
those who hud resolved, ii possible, to make the
Convention order him to abandon the hold. The
issue had to ba met, am four fifths of tho body
voted lor Mr. Overby to remain ou the field till
the end of tho race.
Mr. Overby hud been nominated several months
before any other candidate was brought out.
Aler liwh.le, two other candidates, Gov. J jhneon
and Judge Andrews, were nominated by their
respective paities ; aud although no overtures,
from an authorized source, mere made to the pro
hibi ion party with a view io harino iz3 conflicting
intetests, yet the prohibitionists wore me'out of
doors with the iuq'tiry, “ Why does not Mr. Overby
eoaiadpwu? You nave put out your candidate at i ho
wrong time. Too much excitement for prohibition
now. Yon may as wed givoit over. It is doomed
to be a failuro.'*
To all this class of questions wo have boon in the
habit cf making -.he following reply : ‘‘When we
took the first step in this movement, our political
sky was clear, aud there were in Georgia no im
portant issues to agitate the minds of o:r people.
It was believed that nearly all of the old parly is
sues had ripened into maturity and fallen into de
cay, to be no more remembered. Under this aus
piciou- slate ot things, it was confidently h >ped
that the voters of Georgia would have an oppor
tuuity of voting upon this question, untrammelled
by otner exciting Issues. Uuf Uunately, however,
it has turned out otherwise. Not bec.iu»e such a
result was mce-sary, but because a sow party
leaders, for reusous we may not discuss, and iu
violation of certaiu delicacies which wo may barely
allude to, determined to bavo it so. Therefore wo
repel tho insinuation. We did not oring this pro
cions interest into the fioid iu the midst of a s orm.
Our neighbors, our brothers, who knew that it was
in the field, and who professed to feel anxious
about itß fate, nevortneless conjured up this tem
pest which now rages mound it so fiercely* And
what is more strange than all, they tell us that
they knew the storm they were raising would ruin
both us and the caui-e wo advocate, and vet they
persist. Not we, but our friends , have
placed Ibis interest in peril. It temperance, if
jrobibition perish in this storm, the Lord be judge
jetweeu and you.
We i roiest tot there wus no necessity for mak
ing conflict between prohibition end certain other
political interests, in connection with the Gover
nor’s election. Nor havo %ve heard one sensible
argument to prove that such necessity did exist.
From all the lights before us, we are thoroughly
convinced that the masses of Georg.a gretilv de
aired that the field should be leit open without
the nomination of a third candidate, in order that
tho people might bo left free to cast their vote for
Overby and prohibition. Andnow.if prohibition
be defeated, whore lies the onus of responsibility ?
Lot those answer who force a third candidate upon
the people ; and let those who tailed to r< prosent
the kn rsa wishes of tho people remember it —
there will boa day of fearful retribution.
Wo repeat, there was no necessity for a third
candidate. We will vontureto say there was uo
patriotic ohj ict to be accomplished ia the nomina
tion of Judge Andrews, wuich could not be ac
complished without it, Jt the party hud rallied
upon the Congressional election, they could there
by have made a test of their strength as fully as
now, and more so; because they have now made
a wauton conflict with prohibitionists, who already
had tbeir candidate before the people moie than
six months befora hand. This conflict will messsa
rily prevent a fall exhibition of the strength of
both parties in the Governor’s election. There
would have been no such embarrassment had t ey
restricted their efforts to the Congressional ticket.
And now we appeal to ail prohibitionists who may
have attached theraseivea to the Native American
party —we say to the n, by right of precedence we
claim the Governors election, as our appropriate
medium for showing the strength of the prohibi
tion cause in Georgia. We claim your voe upon
this ground, especially, as a manor of r'ghf. We
claim it, also, on the score of liberality. Wo beg
you to remember, that although the Native Araeri
can party should tail to elect their Governor, yet
they need suffer no embarrassing defeat. They
may fail in their Governor, and yet elect every
Congress mar, anl thereby demonstate that they
are the dominant party in Ge.rg a. It seems to
us that the “ Natives” want every thing—there is
o spirit of compromise. It is painful to know it,
and it will be hard to forget it.
We propose to show our strength on Mr. Overby,
if they will permit us to do it. They say we can
not do this, and therefore we are indiscreet in
making the attempt. We say to them yon cannot
rally your strength on Judge Andrews, although
he is worthy, and therefore it is indiscreet in you
to make the eff >rt.
Moreover, we propose to turn the 2 200 foreign
grog shop keep Q's in Georgia out if office, and ask
them to help us. They reply, “We have no time
for that now—we are trying to lain foreigners out
of office. 1 ’ And when we call upon t: e Democratic
party for aid, they excuse themselves upon the
ground, that th°y have work enough to do in keep
ing these foreigners in office. Against all this we
plead as an off-set, that we are trying to red em
ten thousand drunkards from drunkaid’s grave
and a drunkard’s hell. Native American-! Do
mocrats ? patriotic men of all parties, and chris ians
of ail sects, will *ou help u-f In the fear of God
dee de which is the best cause, arid come to it “ter
rible as an army with banr ere.”
nut there a estili other reasons why the Marietta
Convention resolved to sustaiu Mr. Overby. They
regarded him as the re resentative of the only
great interest n r w before the people <f Georgia.
Other interests there are which are ahso'ute'y of
considerable value, bat which comparaliee y d*in
die into utter insignificance ; bo much so, ihat all
the political ev Is, merely, now complained ot in
Georgia, might be thrown in for good measure, in
estimating the mischiefs of the retails liquor traffic.
The ruin which it effects in a sicgle day could not
be repaired by every man and every dol ar on the
face of the earth, within the compass of an or
dinary lifetime. Besides, other political evils so
mu oh talked abcut, are prospective—tney do not
exist is Georgia now to a'>y great extent—but the
mischief* ot lb e liquor trtffi: are a present realty.
Now—always now —the is goint ou. The
‘ poilitg, babblicgcauicrm” alwajs smokes upon
its furnace —the tears of blood are always flawing
i bto it—ruined hearts are always eeethitg tnere in
hopeless agony—there ia no respite—no in
this work of ruin, and no allevialio ot ih« miseries
which it produces. Therefore, they dared not as
same the repons.bility < f refusing their support to
the man who, like a noble hero, proposed to throw
himself in f o the list, ready to be sacrificed, if need
be, upon the altar of humanity, flow could they
act otherwiee as patriots—as chribtiam? Because
some who admired T he nobleness of the prohibition

rum the cause. When we ask them hw ? they
reply that the smallness ol the vote will si dis

-hows what sort ot stuff their love of the cause is
made of. It means simply, that notwithstanding
the triends of prohibition know that tho vote to be
given iu October will he small, owing to the fact
that more than half of its friends will not support
it, yet they menu to teke that vote as a real lost of
its strength, though they know it will not be, and
they mean to be so discouraged by it as never to

There were but three refugees who flod from
the marlyidotn o* Thermopy m, and history in
torina ua that the indignunl matrons and maidens
or Sparta beat them death w. hiheir broom

died warriors to face the invading hosts of Xarxes,
wns no justification of their cowardice.
It on the field of Buena Vista, the artillery-men
that wore appointed to man one or more of the
portable butteries wuich aid such terrible execu
tion on that occasion, had refused to co operate
on the ground thut the enemy were four to one
against us—perhaps that enemy had triumphed,
uud the names or those recreants wou d he im
mortuliaed upon tho scroll of iufamv. And what
luuguage could ful'y character their conduct, if
they had not only withheld their tire against tho
ouemy, but had actually directed it against their
own couutrymen, trying, in the moantime, to jus
tify their couduct by sayiug, 44 Wo see that you
nro bant on tho foil/ of makin? this hope.ess
tight. You a o all to bo illed off at any rate, and
wo will iberetore aid the enemy, in order that the
job may be disposed of as soon as posable.”
Wo say not that di.-sen’ing prohitioni«ls mean
this result, but tho tendency of their movements
is to bring it about; and it is inconceivably pfraugo
ihat they seem not to be aware of tho tact. Would
that we wore able to make them understai d their
true relation to this quostion, and properly to feel
their responsuility in the premises.
Th< y toll us thut they do not intend to support
proi.ibition, because prohibition men gor < rully,
will not support it. This means ttiat prohibition
men will not do their duty, and therefore thoy are
excusable for not doin< it. For l his is the provait
ing excu o tho one which they al 1 render who
withhold their support. It means this, further
more, that the piohibit : on cuuse will be ruinod, be
cause probibitionistsjwill notsupport it, and theio
toro, prohibitionists are oxcusable lor not support
ing it. Could there be use!! doluson more farcical
than this, or a greater indignity offered to the
genius of L)gic?
But tneso subtle roasoners tell us, moreover,
that tho few who do ntaud up to prohibition, in
order that it may not be utterly ruined, will have
to be*ir the guilt and Buffer tho penalty of all tho
mischief that may follow upon defeat. Can this
be bo, brethren ? Whi e you admit that its dofcrU
will be ow'Dg to tho fact that its friouds will not
staud up toit, do you refuse to stand up, and yot
:ell us that we aro the guilty party? Is this the
verdict? Before tiie Most High we ahull appeal
from this deci ion. Bo it understood, wo ahull
curry this caie up to a higher tribunal—even to
■ he Judge Eternal who sitteth between the chi.ru
bim. K member it, and forget it net. This case
shall bo adjudicated in th t great Court of Ap
pealß. W heu we arj asked by the J adgo of quick
uud dead why we gavo our Bupport to this inoa*
uro, we hope to be able to g vo a Rff.is’actory
answer. Will you, when interrogated, give the
same answer that yon now give, that sumo old
stereotyped edition? Rjsolvod that excuse, and
see how it would Bound under the solemnities of
that august occasion. “We all kuow tha’probi
tion w s a good thing, but wo all know thut we
did not intend to support it, and therefore we

There is a par y whic objected to Mr. Overby
bee use they wcie afraid to carry his platform.—
They were unwilling bo offend the dram shops and
their sympathizer!*.
Now it is obvious that in taking this ground,
they virtually declared the liquor par y and
their friends are moro to bo courted and rospected
than the prohibitionist?. Mr. Overby and bis
irionds aro kickod overboard, in order to make
room lor the drum shops and their adhoren's. And
now somo ol that party taunt us with lolly and
Btupidity, bee use wo can. otseo tho policy ofcom

caiiuot come up to ti.o confuselonal after U at tesh
ion. Bather too Native American—rrtther tool'ro
testant iu our feelings, ua yet, to submit to that
degree of humiliation. Do the other parties know
how obsequiously they aro paying their court to
the grog snops, when they so.ieit their aid at the
expense of prohibition ? Surely they huvo not
properly and justly apprehended their position.
Ther are among them thousands of good men,
who would not, if th< y know it, lio under the
odium of this moustrous inconsistency. But they
ought to know, they must know prccisoly how
they stand. We must tell them, if they have not
thought of it, that they have tukon their position
on the same side with liquor sellers ana liquor
drinkers. They all vote the same way, and al , no
‘*onbt, have the sympathy of the same Prince of
Evil. True pr h-b Liouists aro on the opposite fide
or the liue, sharing, uc they humbly believe, the
syinpalhios of a 1 nano Godzpd of all the Heaven y
hosts.
If angles, and the spirits of <4 just men made per
fect,” were sent to earth in order hat they might
participate n this conflict, where would t.;ey tuke
their position ? Think you they would affiliate
with dram sellers and dram drinkers or any of
their companions in arms ? It they were commis
sioned to vote, how would thoy vote: for piohibi
tion or against it? These arG no idia questions.
They aro qustiens which naturally euggest them
selves to the mind of a man who believe-; that all
the heaven y hosts are witnessing his movements,
and that, buiore them, he must bo j dge i for his
conduct upon curih. Every such man wi I also
ask himself how he would voto i! it wero to be the
uct of his li o—how, if his ballot wero to bo deposi

should boa part of the documentary evidence to
be produced oa his trial at the bar ol E’ornal Jus

thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.”
We will not pause lo onquire whether this work
ot reform was commenced at. tne proper time and
place. To love virtue and to support it, to hate
vice and oppose it, is a work proper to all times
aud all plates. Suppose there were uo law against
murder or robbery, would it bo imprudent
to organize a party wiih a view to legislate iigaiuat
these vices, because this party not likely to
be a very strong one in the outset? Throe-lourlhs
ot the aforesaid crimes are the offspring of dram
shops. In the came of justice, ahall we always be
legislating against t he offspring, and never Jegislu'e
against this frui ful parent of crime? Shall we
expend millions upon millions in support ol a
penal sys ern, beeping thousands of official agents
from yeir to year in pursuing the rave
nous whelps while the prolific and still more
ruvenous dam is portui ted to go almost unres
trained breeding her million offspring, making
trouble t>r earth aud bauds f r eternal burnings.
Can this be u puzpdiug question to any man who
believes that he was made in order that he might

Whether discreetly or not, the Prohibition issue
has been ruude, and we m y not dodge it. The
work has been commenced, and wo may not de
o ine our co operation, we may not say, that
our sympathises are with prohibition while our
works and our it fluen.ee are in the scale with the
dram-shop . It is idle for ua to pretend that we
are beyond suspicion because wp Li a hereto'ore
been staunch temperance men. iSoi our former
but oar present line of conduct is tho proper ox
poaent of our present principles and feelings.
God holds us strictly up to the scripture rue of
“showing our f_i'h by our works.” We are re
quired to do this all the tune. Wo mako idle
boast, and profess 'o believe, but it our works ot n
tr&dict, wo shall surely be eat mated and dealt
*ith as infidels. “Bat not d ceived. God i\ noi
mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth Uat shall he
also reap.”
Wo do not intimate that they who refuse toeup
port the p ohibition ticket really mean thereby to
:avor d'ankennes? or to protect th-i dram shops.
They do not love the liquor for its own t-ske;
but they love something eiso, and they resolve to
be gratified, although the liquor traffic should be
temporarily oromoted by it. They lovo v rtue a
htUe, but they love party more; they love the
poils ol party and the sbont of victory more than
they love Hod and suffering humanity. Thoy do
not desire to perpetuate the retail system—to starve
orphans, to break women’s hearts, to destroy the
bodies and damn the souls of men—but they have
certai ends to accomplish, and they mean to ac
complish t» em, n t caring if the above aad results
.-should follow. Like Jucae, tor thirty pieces of

land.
Turin, Aug. 6.—Tho exocution of tho Convent
law progresses with ns few impediments ns could
well bo expected. Tho episcopacy generally 10
commended resistance, wh’ch, in tho case of the
convents to be taken po. seesiou of, wus in many
cases obeyed as fur ns locking Iho outer doors and
giving the officers of justice the trouble of breaking
thorn open. With regard to the parish priests
who wero entitled to an additional stipend under
tho sumo ..c‘, and whic tboir bishops forbid them
to accept, there woe d not probably have bee :
found *o much subordination, aud a cot.vic'.ion to
this effect is uot unlik ly to bo tho cause of the
following paragraph, which appears at tho head oi
the leadiug artic’e in t o Armonia of this day :
“We bow with reverence botoro the Mustors in
Israel. Oar bishops thought it right to supplicate
the Holy See before permitting the parish pries *
to receive Iho bonotieos, aud tho Sovereign Pont.lf
has a lowed it, while protesting, &c. From this
time thoretoro, that which wu illegal boorma*
lawful by pormisoiou of that sovereign authority
wi ich prohibited, uud all discussiou lor us ceMS s.”
Tho text of the al.oeutionß pronounced by the
Pope iu tho Consistory ot the 26 h ult, has reached
ns. The tiista locution refers to tho affairs <-t
Sardinia. It commences by saying that on tho
22 i January last his Holiness complained in an
u locu'ion of the “gruvoj wrongs” whiih tho Sar
dinian government had for a long series of yours,
daily perpetrated against the Roman Catholic
Church, uud against tho *upi erne power aud dig
nity of the Holy See, and declared null and ot no
effect, each aud allot the decrees issued by I hut
government to th? prejudice ot iho church, aud
espooia ly iho “u j 'stand fatal” law tor iho sup
pression of religious houspp. Iu making those
compluiuts aud that declaration, tho Po; o bud
hoped ttiat the Sirdinian government, returning
to better sentiments, would “coa-e to persecute
the church, and hasten to repair tho wrongs done
it.” But it had not done so.
“Wo say with sorrow, not only that the Pied
montese government has not lent ear, either to the
supplications of its bishops or our own exhorta
tions, but making now and moro serious attacks
iu tho church, on our own nu:hority and on that
of the Apostolic See—opeuly despising our re
iterated protests and our paternal warnings—hus
not feurod to approve, sanction and promulgate
the law on religions houses. ’
Th 9 Pore lumeuts that this conduct “ obliges
him to depart from the mildness and meekness
which are natural to him,” and to have recourse to
severity 14 in order net to fail in his duty and
abandon the cause of tho church; and after stating
that this severity is iu accordance with tho example
of h*s predecersorp, “who never hesitated to uct
against the degenerate and rebellious children ot
tho church, aud to smite the violators and ob
stinate uaurpers of its rights wi.h tho penalties
s. t forth in the holy canons,” his Holiness thus
proceeds:—
*• Wo, therefore, again rise our apostolic voico in
your august assembly, and wo blame snow, wo con
demn, and declare null and of no effjot, the law
abuvo mentioned, and all and each ol tho acts and
decrees which have taken place in Piodulout to
the dotrimentof religion, of the church, of oarau
tbority, and of the rghts of the Holy See—-acta
uud decrees of which wo spoke with sorrow in our
t lloeution of the 22d January last- Wo aro, h*
sides, obliged to declcr*', with tho most profound
regret, that all tiiose who in Piedmont have not
tearea to propose, ap rovo and sanction the ' aid
moasuro, and tho law against tho church and t*'e
r ghts ot the Holy See, that all those also who ure
en.ployed by them, who give sat. ptirt, counsol Bud
adhesion, and who execute their orders, have in
cur red maj >r excommunications and the other oc
clesiasticui ponultioa and emsures enacted by ti.o
holy canons, tho apostolic constitutions, ami tho
decrees of general councils, particular y Ihoso ol
tne Council of Trento. *
Tr.o Popo concludes by stating that after ever
cising security, ho remembers that he “occupies
;he place of Him who in wrath remembers mercy,”
and that, therefore, “he humbly prays tho
our God” to bring back to bettor sontime is ho
degenerate children of the Holy Church in Sar
dinia, and to fhowor his blessings on the bishops
and clergy of that kingdom “in their present
ag ny uud tribulations ”
Tne second allocut;. »«. of tho Pope is on the af
fairs of Spain and Swi'ztrland. After recapitu
luting the priucipul points of the cjncordut, con
cluded some time ago with Spuin—one ot which
was that the properly ot the church should bo
inviolable—his flo iues* declares that that convcn
t on has been imnudontly outragod an l violated :
“Law* have been passe ' wnich, to tho great
dtungo ot religion, destroy tho first and second
articles of tho Concordat, and which order tho sale
ot the p operty ot tho chu r ch. Various decrees
fcavo bean published, by which bishops aro in
terdictod from conferring Bacred orders; by which
virgins cousecratcd lo God uro prohibited Horn ad
mitting othor womon into their institutions; and
by whiuh lay chaplaincies and other pious institu
tions ure to be completely aecnlarizid.”
The protests pr. aented against thoao measures
had, he say B, been disregarded bythi Spanish
government, aud somo bishops who had optosod
them had been forcibly removed from their
diocoses. Ho had ther. fore deeruod it necessary
to order his Charge d’Affaires to leuvo Madrid, and
moreover, says his Hulinosa —
4 Kais ng our voi-'o in your assemb'y, wo com
plain of a 1 that the lav government has done and
i* still doing in Spain, unjustly against tin church,
against its liberty and rights, against us and the
authori ids of tho Holy See; and especially wo
deeply deplore our solemn concordat jviolated in
' e :anco of international law ; tho authority of the
bishops prov< nted iu tho of ti e sacred
ministry; the violence emphyed against them;
and the patrimony of tho church u urped in sp to

and wo f xhoit and supplicate them to « on ider so
rioasiy that those who do not f.ar to ufil.ot and
torment the holy church of God, cannot escape tho
hand of tho Almighty ”
After a sow words of praise to tho bishops and
clergy of Spain, an i to the luithfu! who h ive sup
ported mem, the Pope cone udes by » brief refer
en '.o £o tho woes which i IE et the church in Swit
zerland.
“We must also £,Oilyou, venerable brethren, that
wo mff'jr i at tho deplorable slate to
which our mcstYioly religion is reduced in Swi z

tho priiicipul Cat' olio towns of the confederated

and of its liberty are oppressed, the aulboii yol

entirely destroyed or completely subjected to the
arbitrary power oftf.ee vilgovernment, thenomi
nation of benefice* and ecclesiastical possessions
isa-iiirped, and the Catholic Clergy are por*ecnterJ
in the most, deplorable manner.” But the Pope
declared that or* that occasion he could only men
tion “nucb sad things, which could not bo sulli
cierdly lamented, and which merited severe repro
bation,” aud that he would dwell oa them at
length on a fa ure opportunity.
He concluded by calling on tho Assembly to
pray constantly to the God ot Morey ‘‘to aid his

Wo copy from the Ficay nea summary of the
important news received by tho Orizaba £r m Vera

It appears that Santa Arma left the city of Mexi
co on tho 19 h inst., at tho head ot I,4tJU men, un
der tho »'»ettx of quelling tno revolution in <he
State of Vora Cruz. On arriving at the tortreßs of

real design. He there issued a prcolamat on, de
positing the Government in the hands of Pavonf.

the 15 h instant.
On the day after his arrival, Santa Aonaeudoa
vored to go on bo. rd the Mexican wvr steamer,
itnrbid ,bat being prevented by the state of ’he
weather, he embarked on the night of tho 17 h
and with his family, it is supposed, proceeded to

In the meantime, all Santa Annas mini ■‘■tern at
tho city of Mexico 10 k Fronch leave, and U n.

city, tay 7uO n on, pronounced for tho plan of Ay

In Vora Cruz, on tho night of tho r!8 h, part of
the Regiment of Tr<B pronounced aud killed
one of their offisers, and then left tho ci’y over
tho walls to j jin La L'ave, who wft! in tho vioiuily.
Next morning tho icmaindur of tho Regiment, suy

Gon. Corona, to prevent further distu bances. On
