Wo have recently seen a statement, published In some Pierce organ, setting forth what purpor tod to ho facts relative to this branch of the pub- lie serrioe. It was a garbled statement, inton* dod to hoodwink or Foreignize the distant pub lic, and was published and circulated to disprove the charge of foreign favoriteism made against the present administration. We give below a list of the names of the employees in the office of the Coast Survey, classified according to birth, and the respective salaries. Here foDowed the list of names with the res pective salaries of each. The whole number of natives, 43; number of foreigners, 31. Amount paid natives, $24,429 amount paid foreigners, $31,867. The avenge salary of the natives is $568 12 per year; of the foreigners, $1,027 98 per year—nearly dou ble that of the natives. Is not this favoritism to the foreigners, and dioertmimatioa against the native ? The disbursing officer, 8. Hten, re ceives $1,500. Win it be said that fie alone can perform these very responsible duties? There is not only a general, but an individual discrim ination, in many instances where both a native and foreigner are employed upon the same work, both oqually competent, the foreigner receives the highest salary. Amoug the foreigners there are many who are not naturalised, and some have not even declar ed an Intention of becoming citizens of tho Uni. tod States. The sa’ary paid many of the na- s is so small as hardly sufficient to enable them to liv*.; while a majority of tho foreign salaries are lucrative. Is not this discrimina tion against the native? Wo have not included apprentices or negroes In tho above calculation. JllEt. by Hendrick A Pledger, Melville G. B. F. Mattox, lift. Hickory C. Brown, Coosa P. O.

Pervcrsfoa Corrected. The last Empire State under the head of “Ex* tor corrected,” says "Mr. Poe ia reported to have said in his speech on Saturday hut, that the Catholics have the largest communion of any religious denomination in the country,” and then goes on to give a table of tho “number of chnrch. es,” and “value of church property ” without ever once mentioning the number of eomnmni- cants; and even with respect to the number and value of church property his figures differ from the census returns of 1850, from which he professes to take them. But why did the editor jump over the item which shows the number of ckurek members? That is what Mr. Poe was talking about, and that is what the editor knows is meant by the word “eommnnion.” Then why try to pervert his meaning by parading the number of churches, and the value of church property ? That the Editor may know how the different denominations stood in 1850 with res pect to numbers in the United States, wa take from the census tables of 1850 the foUowing: Roman Catholics, 1,173,700 Methodist Church (north) 629,660 Methodist Church (south) 405,553 Regular Baptists, 686,807 Anti-Mission Baptists, ' 67,845 ' ‘ “to 118,618 (aU sorts,) 485,377 Foreigners vs. Slavery. It Is the boast of the Democracy now that the foreigner is a more loyal citisen to the inter ests of the South than our native-bora sons of the North; and they cite as a feet the vote ta ken upon the Kansas Nebraska bUl, wherein the North-Western States voted with more uni te for tiie bill than the older Northern States. Tney say. furthermore that the foreigners aro more numerous in the West than any where else. The forty-four who voted for that hill, and who by their votes aided In altering it as it earns from the Senate, by engrafting upon it that odious feature of scatter sovereignty, weroeleo- tod in 1853, when that biU wes not before the people. Their vote upon it was right, so for as regards the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. But the democraoy of foreigners thought differ ently, for those who advocated the hill have nearly all been defeated. As we hare laid be* fore, we bad but little frith in the Administra tion democracy, and stUl less in the Northern .foretynera. We give below tho letter of Dr. Thoa. A. Anderson, of Tennessee, written in 1842, thirteen years ago, when he eould have had no idea of the rise of the Know Nothing or- utiiationof 1854-55. Dr. Audenon was a emoermt He went to London to sell lands, and not to further any political party. He wrote home the facts that ftU under his own observa tion. Read his letter: “London, England, Aug. 28,1842. Dr. W. Norton,—Dear Sir: I have found it almost an impossibility to sell lands in Tennes see, to the emigrants from this country. Nine- tenths of them have the insuperable objection that it is a slaveholding State. Their prejudices in this respect are deep and rooted. They go to America with the fierce and fanatic feelings of the O’Connells, the Buckinghams and the Thomsons, on the subject of slavery, to swell the ranks of the Abolitionists there. I have convened with hundreds of the emigrants go ing out from London and Liverpool to the Uni- States, and find them for the most part an ignorant people. In fret, having no correct dess or knowledge of our system of government —of our social and political state—of our civil and religious liberty. They have heard of Am erica as a land, where every one in the non slaveholding States does pretty mnch as he pleases; and where, in the slaveholding States, the negroes work in chains for their white mas ters, and are subjected to starvation and con-, stant stripes, and almost every cruel treatment Thus impressed, folly nine-tenths of these emi grants go to America, thinking and feeling they liave a mission to aid in abolishing slavery there.”—Recorder. CaaoNOLOcicAL Record.—The following memorandum of the commencement and con clusion of certain wars and Indian hostilities may be fonnd useful: War of 1812, commenced June 18,1812, end ed Feb. 17,1815. War, Seminole, commenced Nov. 20, 1817, ended Oct 31,1818. War, Black Hawk commenced April 26,1832, ended Sept 21,1832. War* Florida, commenced Dec. 28,1835, en ded Angust 14th, 1842.

New York (Canada) frontier disturbance, 1838, and 1836; no war; no fighting. Mexican War, commenced April 24, 1836, ended July 4,1848. Fruit as an Article ef Feed. Were wo of the South, to cultivate and use fruit more as • standard article of food, instead of eating it indiscriminately between the meals we should be all healthier people. We consume too much meat at our meals, neglecting the frmtewhieh a beneficent Providence has bless ed ns with. Were we to breakfast on milk or coffer, with figs and nutmeg or Christina mel ons, dine on such meats as the taste or purse wiU admit* with vegetables to match, and a desert of water melon, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, Ac., and sup on a cap of. aromatic tea, with strawberries and cream, wa might dispense with the pastry cook, and tha Doctor, provided we would eat no fruit between meals. It is not a little astonishing, that with the immense amount of fruit produced at the South, it does not dimin ish the consumption of meat and bread. There is no doubt hut that the summers of the South would bo the healthiest portion of the year, were we only to use fruit as a necessary article of food. When we say fruit, we do not mean the trash that stead for weeks on the truckstors stalls of the cities; hot that which is picked fresh eveiy morning, from our own vines and trees. Most of oar fruits abound in sugar, which is nourish ing, eooling and healthy, whilst the meats con sumed, abound in oil, which Is heating, stimu lating, and predisposing to fevers. Some of the healthiest people in the world live in the trop ical regions, whose breakfast consist of oranges, pine apples, figs or bananas—dinner of melons and raisins—supper of dried frhits with tea or coffee. They have leaned to adapt their food to the climate and the wise provisions of Prov idence, and when we do the same, we shall be a healthier people.—Soil of the South. Attention. 2. 8. WOOD & CO.

'51J Probable Price or Wheat.—The “Ameri can Farmer,” published at Baltimore, states, up- on what it regards as reliable authority, that George Peabody, Esq., the eminent American banker in England, has given earnest assurance to his correspondents in the United States that aU the grain that can be spared in this country wiU be required in Europe the eoming year.— Other commercial authorities advance the opin ion that frlr prices for wheat will be sustained at home during the whole of the en-Jng ye They argue that, the supplies from Dantsie and the Russian ports being cut off all the surplus crop of the United States will readily find a market in England or France. If these hints, or speculations, be well founded, our for mers need be in no baste, notwithstanding the immensity of the crop, to force their wheaiinto market, as they seem to be doing in some seo- tions, on account of the constantly 4lmUt.Mn g price. Population op ran World.—The latest and perhaps the fairest estimate of the population of the world, makes it eleven hundred and fifty millions. Of this sum total, six hundred and seventy-six millions, are Pagans; three hundred and twen ty are nominal Christians; one hundred and forty millions Mahommedans, and fifteen mil lions Jews. Of Christians, the Chnrch of Rome numbers one hundred and soventy millions; tho Greek and Eastern Chorehes, sixty millions and there xro ninety million? of ^otystuntc. Appetite.—A medical writer says that the failure of appetite in the summer is apt to be considered as perse, an evil, to be doctored and removed; while it is only a sign of mischief it self! Instead, therefore, of resorting to stimu lating condiments or medicines to force an ap petite, one should live abstemously for a few days, and as the systm works off the causes of disease, a natural appetite will come back. In those rare eases in which a failure of appetite depends on absolute deficiency of food, a return to more generous diet presents the only hope of relief! Platform manufactory. The Democracy were certainly sitting fora picture when the Cleveland Herald made the following sketch: We advise a platform manufactory where they can be built by the quantity—as they build vessels at French Creek, on the St. Lawrence— by the mile, and out them off to suit customers. Conventions tried upon each other’s heels: and as fast as delegates roll off one platform, (and the operation seems just as easy as rolling off a log, they spring to their feet, jump into the cars, and as quick as lightning “turn up” at some re mote point, out with their “tool chest,” and with adz and jackplane knock np another frame— “To the platform, masters”— and they spring upon it, and, hats off, give three cheers “for our ride.” Good Huxob.—Keep in good humor. It is not great calamities that embitter existence, it is petty vexatious, the small jealousies, the littlo disappointments, the “minor miseries,” that make the heart heavy and the temper soar.— Don’t let them. Anger is a pure waste of vital ity. It helps nobody, and hinders everybody. It is always foolish, andalwayh disgraceful, ex cept in some rare eases when it is kindled by seeing wrong done to another, and even that “noble rage” seldom mends the matter. Keep in good humor. The Collar Business.—Lynn is not more famous for shoes than Troy, N. Y., is for collars and bosoms. There are fifteen of these estab lishments in Troy, and it is estimated that they turn out on an average, 50,000 per day. One establishment employs forty sewing machines, worked by as many young woman who easily turn off fifteen dozen per day, and it is said that they can readily earn from $9 to $10 per week “The reason why many ladies dodge an offer of marriage is because the question is popped at them. Labor is one of the greatest elements of soci ety—the great substantial interest on which all men depend. Indolence deprives men of all that energy which should call forth their virtues and make them industrious. “Miss, will you tako my am?” >, yes, sir, and you too.” “Can’t spore but the arm, miss,” replied the bachelor. “Then,” said she, “I can't tako it, as my motto is to “Go the whole hog or nothing!” “To cure palpitation of the heart, procure i—afi’ a young woman—alive— and having ascertained the region of her heart, press the organ closely against your own till tho pain ceases. For regimen, use cooiling drinks and moonlight— about half and half. A disconsolate editor thus winds off an Acting notice of the death of his Shanghai rooster: “ His voice when heard amidst the orowlng of other roosters, was like the trombond in an or chestra of violins, or the bass of rumbling thunder amid the hum of a dozen spinning wheels”: Farewell faithful servant* a lasting farewell; From thy foto let all roosters take warning— No more will tby voice in a long and loud swell, Awaken ns, to get np and go to work, about livoo’er ' ■ - half past fivo o'clock In the morning. —- The Cleaveland papers a discovery, by Dr. Taylor of that eity, of a process for the production of a brilliant light by the decomposition of water. The apparatus is said to be wholly unlike that of Mr. Paine, of Worcester, which attracted so mueb atten tion a few years since. Distinguished ohemists have examined the process and its results, and pronounce it a triumph. The cost of the ap paratus is small, the maohineiy simple and the cost of materials consumed almost nothing. A Perilous Situation. The story of Mike Finoh and the Bull would make a eynio laugh. Mike took a notion to go in swimming, and had just got bis clothes off, when he saw Deacon Smith's bull makinj at him—the bull was a vicious animal, and hai como near killing two or throe persons—conse quently, Mike felt rather “jubus.” He didn't want to oall for help, for he was naked, and the noarest place from whence assistance, could arrive was the meeting house, which was at the time filled with worshippers, among whom was “the gal Mike was paying his devours to.” So he dodged the bull as the animal came at him, and managed to catch him by the tail. He was dragged around till nealy dead, Md when he thought he could hold on no longor he made up his mind he bad better “hollor.” And now we will let him toll his own story: So looking at the matter in all its bearings, I oum to the conclusion that I'd better let some body know whar I was. So I gin a yell loader Uim a locomotive whistle, and it warn long be fore Iseed the Deacon’s two dogs aeomin’ down like as if they war seein’ which could get thar fust. I knowed* who they were arter—they'd jine thebull agin me, I war sartio, for they were orful wenomous Md had a spite agin me. So says I, old brindle, if tidin' is as cheap as walk in’ on this route, if you’re no objections, I’ll jist take a deck passage on that ar back o’ yourn. So I wasn’t very long getting astride of him; then, if you’d bin thar, you’d hare sworo that warnt nothin’ humM in that ar mix, the silo flew so orfully as the critter Md I rolled round the field—one dog on one sid Md one on the other—tryin to clinch my foet I prayed and cussed Md cussed Md prayed, until I couldn’t tell which I did at last—Md neither warn’t of no use, they war so orfully mixed up. Woll, I reckon I rid about half an hour this way, when old brindle thought it war time to stop to take in a supply of wind, Md cool of a title. So when we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally halted. So sez I, old boy, you’ll lose one passenger sartain. So I just clum upon a branch, kalkelatin to roost thar till I starved, afore I’d. be rid round in that ar way My longer. war a makin tracks for the top o’ the tree, when I heard sumthin’ a makin’ an orful buzzin overhead, I'kinder looked up, and if tbar warn’t —well, there’s no use of swearin now, but it war the biggest hornets' nest ever built You’ll gin in now, I reckon, 'cause theres no help for you. But an idea struck me then, that I'd stand a heap better chance a ridin’ the bull than whar I was. Sez I, old feller, if you’ll hold on, I’ll ride to the next station anyhow, let that be whar it will. So I jist dropped aboard him agin, and looked aloft to see what I had gained by changin quarters; Md, gentlemen, I’m a liar if thar warn’t nigh half a bushel of the stingin varments ready to piteh into me when the word ‘go’ was gin. Well, I reckon they got it, for ‘all hands’ started for our company. Some on ’em hit the dogs—about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle. This time the dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old deacon’s, and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way we followed. And as I war only a deck passenger, Md had nothin’ to do with steerin’ the craft* I swore if I had, we shouldn’t have run that chMnel, anyhow. But, as I said afore, the dogs took the lead—Brindle Md I next, Md thohornits dre’kly arter. The dogs yellin—brindle bellerin, Md the hornits buzzin Md stingin. I didn’t say nothin’, for it warn’t no use. Well, we’d got abont two hun dred yards from the house, and the deacon heard us and cum out. I seed him hold up his hand and tarn white. I reckoned he was prayin’, then, for hfi didn’t expect to be called for so soon, and it warn’t long* neither, afore the hnll congregation—men, women, and chil dren—cum oat, Md then all hands went to yel lin’. None of ’em bad the first notion brindle Md I belonged to this world. I jest turned my head and passed the hull congregation. I see the ran would be up soon, for brindlo couldn't turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. Well, wo reached that fence, and I went ashore, over the old critter’s head, lan- din on tother side, and lay thar stunned. It warnt long afore some on ’em as war not scared, cum, runnin to see what I war. For all hands kalkelated that tbe bull and I belonged togeth er. But when brindle walked off by himself, they seed bow it war, and one of ’em said, ‘Mike Fink has got the wust of the scrimmage once in his life!’ Gentlemen,from that day I dropped the courtin bizziness, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up on this ycartb, thar won’t be any moro Finks, and its all owin’ to Deacon Smith’s Brindle Bull! Tbe wind is a bachelor, Merry and freo; He roves at has pleasure O’er land and o’er sea; He ruffles tbe lake, And he kisses tho flower, And he sleeps when he lists, In a jessamine bower. He gives to tbe cheek Of tho maiden its bloom; He tastes her warm kisses, Enjoys thoir perfume; But, truant-like, often The sweats that he sips Are lavished next moment On lovlier lips. Character op the President.—Tho Wash, ington correspondent of the Now York Courier and Enquirer, thus graphically sketches tho character of President Pierce: The greatdefeet of tho President’s character is vacillation and infirmity of purpose.—Ho is tho instrument of the strongest will which ap proaches him. His resolutions yield to impor tunities, entreaties and menaees. He gave Grand a written order on the Secretary of State for the consulship at Marseilles.—The Virginia and Pennsylvania delegates in Congress protos ted, and the appointment was refused. Thus was presented the scandal of a foreigner carry ing about tho dishonored order of the Presi dent ot the United States for a paltry office. The President promised Colonel Wilcox, son- in-law, of Major Donelson, the mission to Chili, The Ohio delegation made a united demand for it. Hence Donelson perambulates the coun try, proclaiming the treachery of Pierce. The President promised McDonald, of Maine, the office of 5th Auditor in roturn for his vote for the Nebraska BiU. When tbe time for fol filling the promise arrived General Prierce asked tbe permission of MoDonald to tender tbe appointment to Judge Minor, the law part ner of the former, in expectation that Judge M. would decline it. Ho accepted it, to tho dismay of the President; anditbeesmo neces sary’to pay McDonald with the superintendence of a petty Custom-houso. In the same way he at first erected the infamous scheme of re pudiating the Missouri Compromise, hut yiel ded to repeated deputations of insolent advo cates of tho measure, while protesting against tho treachery and dishonor of which ho was made tho instrument. Such a man is not fit to be President Iu fact, ho cannot be President because, though tbe nominal oeenpant of the place, all the real power which it is his duty to exerciso devolves upon other men, not respon sible to the country. Night.—How absolute and omnipotent is the siloneo of the night! And yot the stillness seems almost audible! From all tho measure less depths of air around us comes a half-sound, a half-whisper, os if we eonld hear the crum bling and falling away of the earth and all created things in tbe groat miracle of nature; decay and reproduction evor beginning, never ending—(he gradual lapse and running of the ■and in the great hour-glass of time!—Long, fellow. Eloquent and Patriotic A Mr. U. Galloway^ editor of tbe Florence Gazette, recently oame out upon Mr. J. Draw* ford, the editor of the Protestant AmericM, published in Aberdeen, Miss., with great sever ity. Mr. Crawford is an IrishmM by birth, finished scholar, and formerly the President of tbe Jackson College. The following is Mr. Crawford’s reply. It is an eloquent, powerful, overwhelming doeument: Here is no inoonsiderable torrent of words, but wo must not beoome bewildered. “Tbe two grains of wheat” must be fonnd. Tbe sting Md arrogance of the document, lie in the open** ing sentences. Having disposed of them, the rest, which, “tike a wounded snake, drags its slow length along*” we om easily bury out of our sight. You charge against us, that we conduct a Know Nothing Journal. Did it ever strike you, sir, as possible, that the principles we advocate in this paper, and which you fear will arouse the indignation of your readers, are the prin ciples we held many years before Know Noth ings had an existence t that we baTe not gone to them, but that they have come to us ? that from tbe circumstances of our foreign birth, we knew the force of necessity, of one great vital doctrine of the American party, long be* fore circumstances forood it upon their atten tion, so strongly that they cannot avoid it— thev must meet it, Md crush it, or. be crushed by it. It would be of considerable advantage to you sir, if, relinquishing yonr present Quixot. io battle against the American party, you would go and see for yonraolf what Popery is, where she has the power. You ore now “running a Muck” with all the fury of m exasperated Thug, against Know Nothing newspapers— suppose you wipe your dripping brow, Md let your panting system cool, and get a tittle imor- mation on the subject of Popery withjpower in her hands. It will teach you charity for the opinions of those yon oppose. It will give you time to practice yonr native politeness; Md yon may cease to call us serf, slave, sycophant, because we choose to set our face “like a flint” against a system which enslaved, not the bod ies, but worse, infinitely worse, the souls and minds, tbe hopes, the fears of its votaries. Yon see, sir, I am a cool mM, a very cool man, (I shall for the future use the singular number, it is more convenient and natural to me.) But let us look at the charge. What is my crime ? I, a foreigner, holding opinions wbioh do not coincide with the views of M. C. Gallo way, am therefore a serf. I, an Irish Protest ant and found acting with a party, whose lead ing object is to abolish the temporal power of Popery, am heretofore, crusading against my countrymen! Shade of common sense, Papists, who will soon make tbe honr prop! tious—that Pins IX, already reaches out hts hMd to dutch the bell-rope, whose peal shall ring the knell of American freedom! Tell them to arise and flee to the ballot-box, now, while the evil cm be met there, or that here after they must meet it with oanuon and bayo net, Md blood and death. Tell them that freedom, hunted from Europe by Popish bran ny, is pursued even here, and threatened in this her last abode. Do this, and you may help to consummate the glorious end. Do this, Md you will gain peace of mind, in tho discharge of your duty.

Did you expect me, sir, to aid, either with my pen, or voice, a system which has hunted my fathers to tho dungeon, and the gibbet. Which gave tfcem the rack, for argument; which placed on their legs the iron boot, and drave in wedge after wedge till the marrow over-ran this Popish argument (!); which huddling women and children into a house, applied the torch, Md caught them as they ran madly oat, on the heads of their iron pikes. With what Party, pray, should I be ?— Just where I am, Sir; with the American Par- ty, because, it has raised its mighty arm, and sworn by Him that liveth forever and ever, that sneh’seenes shall never be enacted on AmericM soil. ’ What is my crime ? That at a time when half a million Roman Catholics—the blind tools of designing foreign Priests, are pouring annu ally npon our shores ; I, an Irish Protestant, when the Press is placed at my disposal, should cry, “There is danger, for God’s sake protect yourselves while you can. I knew them, where they had the power of numbers, and there they burned Bibles, they murdered heretics, they set the Law of the fond at defiance, and would obey no law but the law of the Church.” This is my crime! This my only crime! And for this I am called, slave, sycophant, and abject — And by whom ? An American Protestant. A man whose ancestors periled all, for “freedom to worship God.” How long will that freedom last, when Popery becomes numerically, su premo ? Not an hour. How often would yon, Mr. Galloway, in beantiful Florenoe, visit tbe Methodist Chapel, if the Pope could prevent (and he is only waiting numerical strength.) Ah Sir, there would be no chapel there, the the thunders of the Vatican would raise it “from turret to foundation stone,” just as soon, as it had subjects enough to carry out its be hests. Again I ask. What is my crime ? I enter tain my own opinions. And for this, I am held up in this free fond, as slave, serf, sycophant And this champion of the freedom of thought!! This head of a party which professes to stand up tike a Colossus, battling for freedom of opin ion in tbe fond. This excited Florentine, who goes about tike another Old Mortality, with steeled chisel and incessant mallet, to keep fresh and legible, the principles of liberty of thought and speech, he calls me slave, and tool, beoanse I do the very thing, for which his par ty fights!! I think for myself; but then it does not suit him. Sir, I have resisted tyran ny every where. I cannot submit to your dic tation. I am an American citizen, registered before high heaven; and I hurl back your con tempteous sneer, with haughty indignation. Serf, slave, sycophant Gracious heaven! Citi zens of Abordeon, amongst whom I havo spent ten years of life, does my conduct justify the accusation ? Answer, for yon know me. When did I sue for place? When havo tho rich found me thoir humble servitor, or suppliant tool ?— When, in the midst of poverty, did I ever swerve from tho direct forthright, that I might thus mount a single round of the ladder of pre« ferment. Never, never. I have been content with honest poverty, and honest toil; and rath er than aet the toady, “I’d be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon.” Away then with your impertinent insinuation. Away, champion of freedom of opinion 1 with yonr arrogant circumscription. You offer mo a compliment, and talk of my talent, learning, honesty; patriotism. Gramer- oy, for thy courtesy, good sir ; but, in sooth, it comes in such doubtful company that I care not to receive it. Such qualities belong not to serfs, or sycophants. And one or the other must be. I cannot he both. I fear, indeod, you write without thought I fear having early committed yourself, yon are battling for the sake of consistency, against yonr own habits of cool thought, till you are somewhat demented. The American journals, too, have so lashed and goaded yon, that, tike the angry bull in the amphitheatre, yoa shut your oyes and rush madly forward. No wonder if you should occasionally dash against a rook, or tumble into a pit And horo, sir, I would dismiss yon with kind- nogs and sincere sympathy, did not the cause of tho groat American party forbid me. You condescend to lecture yonr slave, and ▼cry eloquently tell me what I ought to do. Please accept a return of the kindness, and let me suggest to you a wiser and moro becoming oonrse than you have been following. Instead of employing your time in making a party, which at least believes it sees danger to the cause of freedom lowering, and would strive to prevent it—instead of branding any Protest ant foreigner, who chooses to assist in their holy work, as slaves, serfs, sycophants—first, pray for forgiveness for the past, Md then, arm ed In the might of a good cause and, with Hea ven’s smile resting upon yon, go forth, and toll yonr countrymen that a battle is approoohing such as'tho world has never soon—that Ameri- oa is to no tbe theatre—that Popery has pfon- tod her foot on yonr fathers’ soil, and say it is all her own—that she is filling it with cowled friar, and shaven monk, Md slippery Jesuit— that frail women are imprisoned forever, in this freo fond, von the glory of god !
