Some men are very entertaining for a first
interview, hot after that they are exhausted
and ran oat; on a second meeting we shall find
them very fiat and monotonous; they are like
band organs—we have heard all their tones.
“Him usd” (ron debtors).—An insol
vent contributor, after reading the recent re
ports of snooees io the Sea of Azoff, says that,
unlike Horace, be both wonders at and envies
the allied fleet, for the more Straits it gets into,
the brighter are its prospects.
Don’t tbt to talk Latin.—“No use of my
trying to collect that bill, sir,” said a collector
to his employer, handiag the dishonored docu
ment to the tetter. “Why?” “The man who
should pay It is non esfc" “Then take it and
collect it, sir. A non-esf man will not foil to
meet his obligations.”
A Full-Blooded American.—Tim Mallow,
ney, a jolly looking tar, with the richest of bro
gues, applied at the Custom Hoose the other
day, fora “pnrteetion” as an American citizen.
He was asked for his naturalization papers—
“Me natural papers is it yer honor wants?” said
Urn, with an insinuating grin, an* me a full-
blooded American!”
“De yon mean to say that yon were not born
in Ireland?”
“Bora in Ireland ?” replied Tim, “Sure I
was. Bat thin yer honor, I knm from Cork to

minded mask eeters ran their bills into every

There is some philosophy, as well ns fan, in
this reasoning, but it has no effect, and the last

“Vel, mine frien’ I tell yon,” replied Swlt-
i*l, after a few whUfe and a drink, “I comes

builds fin* little house, I pools op mine belters,
I makes mine fire, I heats mine iron, I strikes

and I makes mine moonish.”
“Dat is goot,” remarked Pete, at the same
ftme demanding that the drained mugs be re
filled.
“I say that I made mneh friends,” continued
Wilhelm, relighting his pipe. “Der beeples
ail say, Von Sweitsel be* a good man, ho blows
in der morning, he strikes in der night, and he
mind his business. So day sprakiq to me many
times, and it make me feel mneh goot here,”

“ Yaw, yaw, dat isb goo ter,” remarked Pete,
who was an attentive listener.
“Veil, It goes long dat way tree year. Tree ?

when old Mike, der Watchman, who bees snob

I makes twenty tonsand tollars a year.
“Twenty tousand! mine Got!” exclaimed
Pete, thanderatraek.
“Yaw twenty tonsand. Well, by ahink*,I

Here Mynheer Von Sweitsel stopped, took a
long draaght of beer, and fixing his eyes on
the floor, puffed bis pipe as if in deep thought.
“Veil, mine neighbor," said Pete, after wait
ing a due length of time for him to resume,
vat you do den, eh ?”
“Veil, I ask Mike, der swellhead watchman,

“Twoyear mit your moot ?” asked Pete, in
astonishment.
“Yaw, two year. Den again I go to Mika,

"Dinks! Vy, yon gets him twenty t’ousand

"Gets him! Py shinks, Mike, der swell

“ He tell yon dat?”
“Yaw. Sore as my name bes Von SweitxtL”
“After yon do der blowing mit your moat

"Yaw."
"Mine Got! vat yon do den, mine neigh

"I makes a fire in mine blacksmit shop, I

iron, and strikes mit mine own hammer. I say
to mineself—Wilhelm Von Sweitzel, bolities bes
a bigger von. Wilhelm Von Sweitzel do yer
own Mowing and let boliticians do dors I”
Neighbor Pete thought he had come to a
wise conclusion, and after wishing all sorts of
bad lack to boliticians, that class of men whose
patriotism and integrity lies in their pocket,
they ordered their mngto be again refilled, and
changed the topic of conversation.

A Fine Orchard—How managed.
One of the finest orchards in America is that
of Pelham Farm, at Esopus, on tbe Hudson
river. It is no less remarkable for the beauty
and high flavor of its fruit, than the constant
productiveness of the trees. The proprietor,
R. L. Powell, Esq., has kindly furnished a co-
temporary with some notes of bis experiments
on frnit trees, and we subjoin tbe following
highly interesting one on the apple:
For several years past I have been expert
menting on tbe apple, having an orohard of
2,600 bearing Newton and Pippin trees. I
found it very unprofitable to wait for what is
termed tbe " bearing year,” and it has been my
aim to assist nature so as to enable the trees to
bear every year. I have noticed that from the
extensive productiveness of this tree, it re
quires the intermediate year to recover itself,
to extract from the earth and atmosphere tbo
materials to enable it to produce agate. This
it is not able to do, unassisted by art, while it
is loaded with fruit, and tbe intervening year
is lost; if, however, the tree is snpplied with
proper food it will bear every year; at least
such has bean the result of my experiments.
Three years ago in April, I scraped all tbe
rough bark from tbe stems of several thousand
trees in my orchards, and washed all tbe tranks
and limbs within reach with soft soap; trimmed
oat all the branches that crossed each other,
early in Jane, and painted the wounded part
with white lead, to exclude moisture and- pre
vent deeay. I then, in the latter part of tbe
same month, slit the bark by ranning a sharp
pointed knife from the ground to the first set
of limbs, which prevents tbe tree from becom
ing bark-bound and gives the young wooo an
opportunity of expanding. In November the
tee was dag in thoroughly.
The following year I collected from these
taees 1,701 barrels of fruit, part of which was
sold (n New York for fonr, and others in Lon
don for nine dollars per barrel Tbe eider
made from the refase delivered at the mill two
dayraftor Its manufacture, I sold for three do!
tors and three quarters per barrel of 32 gal
lons, exelasire of the barrels. In October I
manured these trees with stable manors in
which the iunmonia had been fixed, and cov.
ered immediately with earth. The succeeding
aotamn they were literally bending to the ground
with the finest fruit I ever saw, white the other
■treetja my orchard not so treated were quite
barren, tbe last year being their bearing year.
I am now placing round each tree one peek of
ebareoa! dost, and propose in tbe spring to oover
it from the compost heap.
My. soil is a'strong, deep, sandy loam on a
gravelly subsoiL I cultivate my orchard
grounds, as if there were no trees on them, and
raise grain of every kind except rye, wbieh is
so very injurious that I believe three raocess-
ire crops would destroy any orchard younger
than twenty years. I raised test year in an
orchard containing twenty acres, trees eighteen
years old, a orop of Indian corn whish avera
ged 140 busbote of ears to the aero.—JfathviU*

within them that party sobemers, and dema^
gognes reside. It is within them that great
newspapers are published, and these are the po
tent instruments of public opinion. The coun
try, in fact, is governed by the influence of the
eities—first, through commercial relations; and
coeondly, through the newspapers with which
the eon-itry is delnged. Tbe New York Trib
une has daily and weekly, a circulation through
out the United States of 150.000 copies,
and not less perhaps, than 200,000 readeis.—
The New York Herald has even a larger cir
culation. Altogether, perhaps, there is not
less than one million voters controlled by the
papers of the oity of New York.
The Tribune is very hostile to the American
Party. The source of this may be found in the
foot that it is road more by foreign-born citizens
than any three papers within the country.
The Herald is on all sides, and is read by men
of all parties. Its influence is less, although
its circulation Is larger, .and its tendency is sim
ply to confuse men's notions of right and wrong.
The Tribune stioke’closely to its object, and
by reiteration and bold nnserupulousness, it
makes profound impressions where the Herald
fornishes only amusement.
But accept tbe fact that the country is main
ly governed by tbe eities; then look at the ta
ble we have above compiled, and it will be ob
▼ions that within them there mast be instra
ments subject to the will of those whose sympa
thies are of of alien origin.
The mere fact that the population of these ci
ties are so nicely balanced, is in itself a most
suggestive one. It tells the whole story—shows
how demagogues find fields for their operations
—how foreigners, no matter how honest or well-
meaning they may be, are misted, and bow, thro'
them, the country is kept half native and half
foreign—why administrations at Washington
flatter the alien influence and put it into office
and how national “platforms” are calculated for
foreign latitudes.
We mean by this no disrespect to foreigners,
who in all good intentions may be as earnest a
friend of our laws as the native—and much more
earnest than tbe nativo demagogue who flatters
him, and deludes him, and misuses him for bis
own selfish partisan purposes. If tbe foreign-
born citisen had been kept aloof from tbe dema
gogue, and not through bis inflamatory appeals,
pat themselves in opposition to the natives, to
day there would t are been no American party.
It would not have been necessary. That party
has no unkindness of feeling towards tbe foreign
born but only desires to stem tbe current of wbat
seems a great evil—the chief source of a detori
oration in onr political morals—and looking for
this end to the fature, not seeking to lessen, in
any way, the rights already acquired by any

which is observed in commemoration of
the exodns from Egypt, when tbe Israelites

it was nsnal at this season for vast numbers to

al assemblages, tbongh at a different period of
the year, being at the Feast of Passover occur
ring in the month of April, that the last and
most famous siege of Jerusalem commenced.
Jerusalem was crowded with worshippers, who
bad eome up to the holy city, when the Roman
army, nnder the eon m&nd of Titos Vespasian

Coxsomptiox -of the Bodt.—If no oarbon*
in tbe shape of food, is taken into the stomach*
for the oxygen to act npon, it will consume the
body itself. Without food, .the-body looses dai
ly one-fourteenth of its weight in summer, and
one-twelfth in winter. If food is eontinnoasly
withhold, a person ordinarily starves to death
in fourteen days, when they have lasttwo-fifths
of tbeir whole weight. From this it appears,
that if life could bo preserved, the whole matter
of tbe system would be consumed in thirty
days.’ i dfk .
It futber shows, that oxygen, that consumes
tbe carbon in food, and produces heat in the
system, if unprovided with other oarbon, will
consume the body itself*

Chattanooga, Sept 21, 1855.
JavksW. Jones—Dear Sir:—Yours ef the
20th inst, was received at 5 o'clock this even
ing, hardly giving me time to reply with auch
full information as I could do with another
mail. Mr. Robert Campbell, Depoty Sheriff
for Hamilton county, levied on 15 ears belong
ing to tbe Western A Atlanta Railroad, to sat
iety one fi fa in favor of Poole A Co., and one
in favor of McTier, wbieh fi fit's were from
judgments, by award, of Judges at Cleveland
by consent of parties. These eases were long
in litigation, with others and were removed
from this, (Hamilton) connty. These fi fa's
were levied 28th or 29th Augnst, and adver-
tised according to ovr law ten day* at three
public placet in tbe town and county.
They were sold tbe 8th day of September
at public outcry to the highette bidder. No
agent or other perron, for the Statb of Geor
gia was berx; even Mr. Welsh the agent of
tbe depot here, bad gone down to Marietta to
bis family, where he goes every Saturday, or
nearly every on*. Judge Robert M. Hooke,
whom I have just conversed with, says that
he attended the eale, entirely at hi* own in*ta*ce,
without the knowledge of any agent or represen
tative for Georgia, and bid for and bongbt them
on hi* own account.
Fifteen were levied on, bat two bad been
misplaced, and only thirteen were sold, which
brought sixteen hundred and eighty dollars,
an average of one handred and twenty nine
dollars and twenty three cents each.
The cars were Box and Platform, but little
used, were worth an average of five hundred
dollars eaeh cash.
Judge Hooke after the sale, voluntarily told
one of the clerks in the depot, to sav to Major
Welsh at bis return, that if he wotnd pay him
the money again by tbe 13th, he would give
back the ears to him. The money was paid on
the 15th, and no extra ebarge made by Hooke,
who coaid have done so, as he was not under
any obligation to the parties.
These judgments for 36,000 dollars, have giv
en the parties plantiff a deal of trouble, and
every one collected by them has been at a dis
count. Thomas Calloway, President of the
Oeoee Bank, has been buying them at such
discount as heeonld arrange in trade with the
parties.
I coaid not see the Sheriff, else I conld report
yon wbat balance Is dae. Greenvill, Pardae,
James, Ramsey and one other, have been paid
in a heavy shave. Truly yours,
H. W. Massingale.

Onr Platform requires that there shall be an
alteration in tbe laws' of out country, concern
ing tbe emigration of foreigngss and tbeir set
tlement her* also of the thR&aws of Naturali
zation. Tbe necessity of such alteration will ap
pear by reference to tbe ’ compendium of-the
Consos taken in 1850. There ware at that time
in the United States,”
Native Whites, 17.279,875.
Foreign Whites, 2,240,535.
Foreign Ejrte-Negroe*, 4,067.
It is singular that so atony free negroes should
be qllowed to come from foreign countries, when
the laws of all the slave bolding States forbid
them to eome, even from the adjoining States.
From the returns made to tbe Departmentof State
it appears that 1,180,806 eome to this country
from tbe first day of Jane, 1850, to tbe first day
of January, I860, to wbieh we most add (accor
ding to the compendium of the eensns) fifty per
eent, or 590,402 for those who came by tend,
which makes 1,770,207. This number added to
those here in 1850, gives between fonr and fire
millions in the United States on the first of Jan
uary last. Some, indeed, most bare died, bat
that loss has been more than made np by those
who have since come.
In 1860 there was about one foreigner to eight
natives; now there is abont one foreigbner to
five natives.
Haifa million of foreigners came to the Uni
ted States last year—enough to settle in tbe
West a new State every year, nearly as large as
Georgia.
Aristocratic Hcjcanitt.—Vast hypocrisy
and enormous pretentions to extra humani
ty generally go together. The Dutches of
Sutherland, the great London friend of "Uncle
Tom,” and the leading subscriber to the petition
of the “Women of England” for tbe Abolition
of slavery in America, has jqst permitted a poor
bed-redden woman, with her new-born babe, to
be turned into the open fields, for the non-pay
ment to her husband’s estate of atriflingamonnt
of rent 1 Humility, like charity, should always
begin at home.—Lou. Journal.
^^*The pestilent dens in New Ycrk, long
notorious as emigrant hoarding booses, have
been in most eases broken np by the manage
ment of the Commissioners of Emigration in se
curing Castle Gardeu as an Emigrant Depot—
Tbe Journal of Commerce says the long ranges-
of dingy-looking and thickly peopled emigrant
houses, which have so long existed in Green*
wich street, now present a most forlorn and
desolate appearance. Tbe Commissioners of
Emigration have diverted from them their for
mer sources of revenue, so that in nnmeroos in
stances tbeir proprietors have been compelled
to close up their business. Tbe reform accom
plished has been through and universal, saving
millions of dollars to the emigrants removing
that influence which was gradnallybuilding op,
and strengthening a monstrous system of ex
tortion and fraud, and for which there long
seemed to be no remedy.—Leu. Journal.
A Talk with old Ocean.—The editor of tbe
Nashua Telegraph, was among the company of
printers who visited Lowell Island, in Salem
harbor, recently. After a graphic account of
the sea bathing by tbe gentlemen and ladies,
the latter coming out like sea nymphs, very un
like the beantifnl beings yon will meet in the
drawing room after dinner,—he becomes in
spired with the grandeur of the scenery, and
in a style of true eloquence says:
"This over; we climbed away npon the grey
old rocks, and went down and shook hands with
the hoary old ocean, and sat down there and
had a quiet talk with him. Gravely and sol
emnly he talked to us of that eternity of which
he is so sublime an emblem. Hopefully and
joyfully he spoke of the ‘sweet fields be
yond tbe swelling flood.' And when his rolling
waves came in and dashed their fury upon tbe
almost sunken rock and broke in pieces there,
and tbe brave old rock lifted its head again
above it, unmoved, and awaited calmly for the
rapidly succeeding shock npon shock, until the
rising tide submerged it and the big waves
rolled smoothly over where it was buried, it
talked to ns of a true manhood, braving the
toils, the ill and temptations of life, unharmed
amid them all, and sinking at last only at the
summons of inexorable death, into tbe quiet of
the grave, to emerge again in a more glorious
state, os surely as that hidden rock shall appear
on the morrow, with its prond head erect, when
the enemy which overwhelmed jo-day shall
obey the great law of him who is greater than
it, and return again to its deep bidden caves.
And when tbe beating waves dashed wildly up
upon the pebbly shore and tossed about the
unstable things that gathered there, he told of
the weak, the irresolute and the wicked, to
whom the world has little rest to give, and as
little hope for rest hereafter as they, when the
waves shall return to buffet and beat them
again with their irresistible fury. And when
it beat with its huge breakers; all day long,
the immovable carrier which stayed bis proud
waves where God prescribed its bounds, and
retired at night to renew the attack day by day,
and every day is return discomfitted and con
quered, he talked to us of the great power that
is above all and auataing all. This conference
with “nature in her sterner moods” over, we
were prepared for the enjoyment of social inter
course with being more of our nature, if not
more to our teste.
Ippobtant Rumor.—We have h*>ard, says the
Columbus Enquirer, that tbe Georgia Railroad
Company are trying to negotiate for tbe pur
chase of the Montgomery ft West Point Bail
road; and by altering its track to the same
width of tbe Georgia Boad, make a complete
unconnecting link of road from Montgomery
Charleston. Tbe track of the Opelika branch
will remain the same width as at present, which
will require through freight to be unloaded at
this place and at Opelika. This will materially
effect tbe freighting business of Savannah.—
Who Is at the bottom of this move, Atlanta, An
gusto or Charleston ?

All the same ix Principle.—Gen. Wash
ington fongbt a foreign foe in tbe Revolution
to achieve oar freedom and independence-
The American party are figbtingbting a foreign
party in dtfence of that freedom and Indepen
dence. Who opposed Gen. Washington and
bis gallant army of patriots?—Tories, Foreign
mercenaries,—traitors, and enemies to civil
and religions liberty. Who opposes the Amer
ican party, and their gallant and patriotic en
deavors to preserve the constitntion and the
liberties onr fathers gave ns? A foreign party
mode np of ignorant and riotous Irishmen and
Germans—natives,- demagogues and Roman
Catholics,—who would crash ont Republicanism
in America, and destroy civil and religious lib
erty.—Citizen.
Sam.—The New York "Mirror” thinks—no
matter what tbe "foreigners” and "fosionsists”
may say or do—"Americans” are bound to "rale
American,” It says: It is scarely five years
since w e beard a brazenfaced demagogue tbrea-
en in the Park that 50,000 Irishmen would be
relied within sound of the City Hall belL And
also elsewhere German bands clamored for Ger
man organisation, to impress German polity in
the ideas on onr Government. Americanism
thus challenged, has risen to teach these Irish
men and Germans that, as snch, they can have
no quarter here if they think to try tbeir nation
alities in the scale against ours. As Americans
we will meet and treat them as brothers, and
share with them all that they can feiriy claim,
but as foreigners, patting their strength against
ns and ours, we will pat them down. We have
the power and the right to govern onr own coun

us. Americans will role America.
Ladies 05 Horseback.—If there is on earth
a more fascinating and bewitching sight than a
lovely woman in tbe drawing room or bondoir,
it is that same lovely woman—or, in fact, any
other lovely woman—on horseback; taking it
for granted, of coarse, that she knows how to
ride, and sits npon the noble animal, prond of
his glorious burden, like a mnse taking an airy
stroll through ether npon the back of Pagsus,
and not shivering and every step, like a i oden
doll, fearful of falling to pieces. Female eques
trianism is one of the most equisite luxuries of
a high state of civilization; an exercise in which
every source of healthful and pleasurable emo
tion is brought into play, not only for the mo
ment, but in all the movements and occupations
of the body, and trhich presents the bewilder
ing outline and undulating beauty of the female
form in all its ravishing and intoxicating per
fection. So says the Philadelphia Times, and
we say, Amen.
Hon. Geo. E. Badger upon the American
Platform.—This distinguished North Carolina
Senator and National Statesman has written a
letter in which he declares, “I concur in almost
every position laid down by the Philadelphia
Council; their platform, in the main, meets my
hearty approval, and if I live, and am able to
get to the polls on the 2nd of August, I shall
most certainly, and most willingly, cast my vote
for Mr. Shepherd, the nominee of the American
party in this Congressional Distriot.”
Mr. Badger was Secretary of the Navy under
President Harrison, and has been in the United
States Senate most of the time since. Ho is one
of the ablest and most independent of the Whig
Southern statesmen.
A Railroad Rascal Caught.—The La-
Grange Reporter saysi
The officers of Coweta county have at length
succeeded in capturing the chap who has been
amusing himself for some time past by burning
cross-ties, placing huge stones on the track,
and similar pleasant freaks to tbe imminent
risk of the lives of passengers on the Atlantic

being insecure, he was brought to this place and
committed to the tender mercies of onr offioere

The National Intelligencer.—'We folly
coincide in the warm tribute lately paid by a
Washington correspondent of this paper to
the National Intelligeneer and its veteran edi
tor. Daring tbe fifty years of the existence of
that distinguished journal, it has been, in abili
ty and dignity, h model of irbata po!tical paper
should be. We doubt much if, in sit that time,
an offensive word to a political antagonist can
be found in the oolnmns of this noble journal.—
Sure we are that a malignant attack upon tbe
cboraoter of any man, eitfer friend or foe, has
nevor defiled its bright and unsnlliod pages.—
So well established is the ehareoter of the Intel-
ligoneor in this respect that an imputation of
ever degrading its oolnmns to the personal ma
lignity or interest would bo reeoived with ashont
ofinorednlity by the bitterest opponent of its
lolitiesl principles. All that our correspondent
ias said of tbe Intelligenoer and its illustrious
editor we heartily endorse. Long may that pa
per flourish 1 Long may Joseph Gales he spar
ed to the Fraternity, of which he is the bright
est ornament since Benjamin Frankljn, and to
the society of the national metropolis, which,
amid its resplendent constellation of great noon,
has no wiser head or warmer heart,—Richmond

Eloquent and True.—The London (Eng
land) Advertiser, speaking of the United States
and Great Britan, nses tbe followiug language:
'Contemplate England,^ groaning with taxa
tion and straggling in a sanguinary war; with
her trades deranged, her populaee discontented,
her Government the corrupt machine of an
oligarchy, and her revenues squandered for she
knows not what; and contrast her with Ameri
ca—the America that British eabinet ministers
treat with so mneh indifference, Whose states-
men are cultivating the arts of peace, and
whose commerce is gathering a golden harvest
to the nation. She it is that stands boldly for
ward to her eivil greatness; she presents a
striking contrast to tbe military despotisms of
Europe; she it is that—with her thousand miles
of unguarded coast, her nnwalled cities, her
meagre navy—combines within herself the
elements necessary to a great military na
tion, Peace reigns at her fire side; her
throne is not in mourning. Her legislature are
devising means to relieve an overflowing trea
sury, her trade is vigorous her people are in
creasing beyond e imparison in wealth, her gov
ernment is at least eheap and useful. Would
that we eonld say the same 1 England spends
her blood and treasure in fighting the battles of
nntbnnkftil neighbors. America fights only
her own battles—she fights them quick and
well.”
Philadelphia Fashions.—A gossipping cor
respondent of the New York Minor, writing
from Philadelphia, tells ns the fashions, there
this season are " excessively fanciful
Those ugly, detestable plaids, better-suited
to cover the floor than a delicately formed lady,
have again come in vogue; and, in order to*
show them to more advantage, whalebones or
hoops are employed, which giro an extra full
neSs to the skirt. Broad stripes, which, being
truly American and in perfect accordance with
the republican spirit of 1855, most be admired,
are to be worn extensively; bat, unfortunately,
the neat gaiter boot whiob sets off the pretty
foot and the well formed ankle is to be discar
ded, and in its place high-heeled slippers,.wittr
large rosettes, are to be introduced. As regards
bonnets, they appear to be growing frightfully
less, and before winter sets in it is probable that
a large rosette fixed on the back of the head-
will take its place.
Wetting Bricks.—Very few people, or erea*
builders are aware of the advantage of wetting?
bricks before laying them, or if they are aware-'
of it they do not practice it; for of the many
houses now in progress in this city there are
very few in which wet brick are used. A wall
twelve inches thick, bnilt of good mortar with
bricks well soaked, is stronger in every respect!
than one sixteen inches thick, built dry. Tha
reason of this is, that if the bricks are saturated
with water they will not abstract from tbe mo£>
tar the moistore which is necessary to its cry
stallization ; and, on the contrary, they will
unite chemically with tbe mortar, and become
solid as rock On the other hand, if the brioks
are put np dry, the immediately take all- the
moisture from the mortar, leaving it too dry' to
harden, and tbe consequence is, that when’ a
building of this description is taken down; or
tumbles down of its own accord, the morter from
it if like so mneh sand.—Scientific American.
It may be interesting to some of our readers
to know that those persons, or their heirs, who*
served in tire revolution of Texas, of 1S36, are
entitled to abont 2000 acres of land, within- tho

any of her wars since 1S36 are in titled to 640

One Vote.—At one preoinot in Randolph
county, (Ala.) out of sixty votes and upwards,
says the Macon Republican, the American par
ty got but one. Cloar through for Governor,
Congroisahd representative, this man stood up
solitary and alone, and voted for the American
tioket Suoh a man, a man who stands np
strong and confident in the correctness of his
opinion, unswayed by the brute force of mem
bers, unterrifled by threats, and unmoved by
persuasions, such a man is the subject of onr
most earnest admiration. How few like him
there are in this great world of polities!
fi&T'The editor of tbe Democrat wants to
know if we sympathise with tbe Catholic Church.
Certainly we do sympathise with it to some
extent It has a great deal of good in it, and
we have a natural sympathy for all that’s good.
Besides, we could almost find it in our heart to
feel some sympathy for a very bad concern cur
sed with the support of such nh organ as the
Louisville Dcmoc'-at.
Wo have never denied or doubted that a
great many of the members of tho Roman Cath
olic Church are sincere Christians, and we dis
cuss no questions of theology in our paper. Onr
objootion to the election of Roman Catholics to
offico is founded on the fact that the allegiance
wbioh they consider themselves as owing to
their high church fanctionaries is inconsistent
with their allegiance to the Constitntion of the
United States.

" Yes I can,” said he, balancing it carefully'
and extending it towards me.
" I took it off very quietly, and .without ma
