horror at the democratic party having nOmi-
mated Robert Da e Owen of Indiana, for q
seat in congress; and who expressed somucf
gratitude and JOY at the defeat Of the 'horrid

loco foco, we publish the following account
Of the religious character Of Mr. Profit, the
wing candidate, opposed to Mr.. Owen, and
over whose success We heard so much godly
rejoicing. 1t is taken from the Pittsbu+gIIeF,
a democratic paper IN Pennsylvania. Such
conduct, we presume is pardonabls in that
party which Enthusiastically claims all the Teli.

"Whtg Mordfity.-Mr. Profit, who has
just been elected to Congress from the First
District IN Indiana, by the rhlgs, few years
ago actually kicked the Bible out Of his
house, and administered the sacrament TO
the dogs, in derision of that sacred ordinance
of the New Testamen'. Yet he is Votd Tor

than usual was performed. Five of
the men who attacked the bull were
carried out more or less injured, by
being tossed or trampled on; but as
the bulls horns are always covered
