3FFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
LEGO FOcoism and Popery.

The Catholics of New York, took strong ground
last fall against the Public Schools established
in that City, and by voting Ticket of their own,
were instrumental in defeating several of the Loco
Foco candidates for the Legislature. Seven
eiehts Of the people Of New York were averse to
any change in their excellently constituted Public
Schools--yet in order TO oprease the Catholics,
and to insure their aid this Spring in carrying the
City, and continuing themselves in power there,
the Loco Focos of the New York Legislature
joined forces with Bishop Hughes and passed a
Bill which sets up a new and independent Catho-
lie School System, in the City, in which obedience
the Bulls and DEGREES of Popery is to be taught
and the exercise Of reason and conscience, as
well as the reading of the Bible, strictly prohibi-
ted
Is there one honest Loco Foco in the land,
friendly to Proiestantism and Christianity, who
will not weep for his country, and hide his face
tor shame, to think that the principles which he
has proiessed to cherish should be thus discarded,
and the party TO which he is attached sold by its
leaders 10 the Pope of Rome, to maintain short
lived power in the City Of New York We glo-
ry however, in being able to say that this unholy
compact, this deadly stroke at the Christian free
dor. and simplicity of our Government, met with
lis due reward. The fears of the religious portion
OF the community were awakened by this bold ex-
action of Popery, and ignoble compliance to it by
q Loco FocO Legislature; and by united and Wig
orous effort they wrested the administration of the
City from lie hands Of these men who would
have sold them, body and soul, 10 the Pope of
Rome, in order to maintain their petty offices. .

Rhode Island.

The President of the United States has written
TO the Governor of the State of Rhode Island, in
relation to the steps which will be taken by the
Executive, should necessity require his action
In his letter he says
Il have however: to assure your Excellency
that should the time arrive, and my fervent prayer
is that it may never come, when an insurrecton
shall exist against the Government of Rhode
Island, and a requisition shall be made upon the
Executive of the United States TO furnish that pro-
lection which is guaranteed to each State by the
Constitution and laws, | shall not be found to
shrink from the performance of a duty, which,
while ii would be the most painful, is at the same
time the most imperative. | have also to say that
in such contingency, the Executive could not
look into real or supposed defects Of the existing
government, in order to ascertain whether some
other plan of government proposed for adoption
was better suited to the wants and more in accor-
dance with the wishes Of any portion of her citi-
zens."
GA postscript in the Evening Chronicle of
Thursday states that the Free Suffrage party dis
regard the letter of the President, and intend hold
ing their election OIL Monday next, which, being
illegal, all who participate in the election subject
themselves to the crime of treason. The result
will soon be known.-Daily Chronicle.

THE LOCK OF HAIR.

In notice of the behavior Of Colt, who
was tried in New Y orl, for the murder of Mr..
Adams, we find the following remark
''Colt behaves with selt-possession. Once,
however, on Saturday, when the Mayor, "a
mong the articles he had found in Colts
room, exhibited some hair, labelled "hair of
my molher," and read the label, Colt was
deeply agitated, and finally burst in tears.''
Mysterious sympathy! sacred influence that
opens up the sluices of the affections, when
vice and sin seemed to have dried up the foun-
tains Of all better feelings
The man, if not murderer, and it would
seem difficult to doubt it if not blood STAIN
ed homicide, is, at least, amenable to heaven
for continued vicious course of life. The
early counsels Of friends, the momitions of his
church, and the conventional usagcs of soce-
ty had lost their power to affect his conduct,
or to touch his feelings. The cold, damp dark
ness of the criminal cell, the loud execrations
of the people, the solemn array of justice, the
gravity of the bench, the busting activity of
the bar, and the quiet waiting of the jury, had
not stirred feature of the man; nay, the
agonized feelings of the widow, in her mourn
ing weeds, and even the presence of her, the
sharer Of his shame, had failed to touch chord
that reached the deeper feelings. They were
all Of them present; all had to do with his days
of guilt, and his hour of trial-times and events
for which he had stceled his heart. But when
there was laid open 10 him, and to the world,
that little memorial of a mother, his emotion
showed that he was not prepared for trial
for that trial at least.
Memory went back TO scenes of innocence
and childish love, with flowers hung OH every
bush, and sweetness borne on every gale {;
when the confidence ofhis heart never trusted
to stories of thorns beneath the flowers, or poi
son lurking on the breeze. He remembered
of the lessons of virtue which affection mould
ed to his inlantile understanding, and made
profitable by adaptation. He shrunk away
from the inquisitve gaze of the multitude, and
IN imagination, nestled himself anew in thai
bosom, where, years since, he had sought an
asylum against the soaring creations of child
ish fancy.
He lifted up his eyes, and the hair lock Of
that mother was witness against his life and
perhaps she looked down, and saw shame and
guilt the portion Of him for whom she had
borne mothers pains, and exercised mo-
theirs affections. He wept The agonizino
drops were testimonies of feelings yet alive
proofs that all is not lost; and if blood gull
be found in his skirts, or he be acquitted oil
that and only shame be stamped upon him fol
other sins, let him who seelleth the good o.
his fellow, follow this offender to his closes
or his cell, appeal to that last evidence Of lin
gering virtue, and that relic which brought il
to light and he shall turn wicked one, from
the error ofhls ways, and hide multitude o.
sins.-U. S. Gazette.

The best story of the season-it is from the
Plaqucnlinc Gazette:
"lt is generally the case with editors, that
when giving accounts of the destruction of
lives and property, by fire, they first mention
the particulars about the loss of property, and
then merely allude to the loss of life. This
always reminds us of an incident that happen
ed to neighbor of ours down east
Deacon Sweet was an even tempered, good
hearted sort of man, and Mrs. S. was ditto,
loved her husband, and was very economical
i'll her habits. The deacon took candle and
two quart pitcher, "a pitcher that Mrs. Sweet
had kept whole, minus the nose, for ten years,)
one cold night, and started to go down to the
cellar to draw some cider. The old gentle
mans foot slipped AT the top of the stairs, and
he went down, head first. Mrs Sweet heard
the noise, and ran, very much alarmed, to see
what had happened. The deacon, in the
mean time, had gathered himselup, and was
rubbing his shihs.
Lord Gustusn exclaimed Mrs. S., whats
the matter! have you broke the pitcher;'
Mop replied the old man, grunting and
then growing furious-'I haint yit, but dod
darned if don't do it now, thought and he
smashed the long cherished pitcher against
the wall.
