ced elections Of our country The politi.
cal enthusiasm which animated the success
full party in the election referred TO, was
great beyond all precedent. and the major
ity was the largest ever known in our polit>
ical history and yet it was only about
10000. 1t will be seen, then, by eOmpar-
ing this 10000 majority with the 100000
votes which Catholics can cast, that Rome
may hold the balance ofPower on any great
national question, and still have $4,000
votes 10 spare
And we may no, fatter ourselves that a
nv important movement taken place here,
without its bearings being well considered
in the Vatican. Let an emergency arise,
in which his Holiness at Rome shall think
it worth his while to interfere. and swift as
Geographic despatch an unseen signal will
be made across the ocean, and repeated
over our land and all factions and subd-
visions among Romanists in America will
be merged. and the whole mass, under their
spiritual leaders, will come up to the polls
in solid phalanx. The great party chief
tains-whose trade Is politics-who live
and move and have their being for objects
Of selfish ambltlon-will not be slow TO per-
ceive and to conciliate this Papal influence,
For the sake of its vote en- nldSSe, they will
give it--not at once, but little by little
the stand points it demands; and when it
gains these, :ksn il will throw of the mask,
and hold up its proud front, ask no fayOrs.
1t is in this way that we fear Romanism
will grow into dangerous element in our
republic. And the Obvious defence Of ouE
country is, not in the nature Of the govern
ment, the present intelligence Of the peo>
pie, or tie patriotism of political men-but
in the life and activity of our Protestant
churches; in the zeal Of our light-beaung
institutions Of benevolence-the Bible, Tract,
Sunday School and Missionary Societies;
in the prayers of the pious and above all.
and through all these, in the energy of that
Holy Spirit, who is able 10 bring commun;>
ties, as well as individuals, to know the
truth as it is in Jesus y Observer.

POWER OF ROMANISM IN THE
UNITED STATES.

There is class of Christians and news
papers-very good ones, too, in many re-
spects-who treat all appreheusions of dan
ger to our country and her institutions from
the spread of Romanism, as entirely vision
arv. They are so firmly persuaded that
Americans can never regard the solemn
follies Of saint-worship, the mass, absolution,
&C., otherwise than as ridiculous, that they
are ready to smile at the simplicity of those
who look upon the growing influence OF
Papacy as an object of dread. Others, on
the contrary, are quite panic struck, in view
of the open avowai and bold defence CT some
of the worst features of Popery among US.
Our own view of this subject is, perhaps,
equally remote from both these extremes
While we would not indulge alarm, we be-
Geye there is reason for watchfulness. What
the efforts of Roman Catholics have ac-
complished in modifying the public schools
of New York and Philadelphia, our readers
already know. They know also, that the
entering wedge of Popish influence will be
inserted in every seam and crevice in the
foundation of that great Protestant Repub-
Ican edihce, which our Puritan ancestors
reared at such vast expense of toll and suf-
fering. The success of these efforts will
be limited only by the want of ability in
those who make them. Ii may be well,
then, to inquire. what is the relative ability
of Romanism in the United States
The Catholic population of this country
is estimated at nearly 100000, and Is
therefore, about one twelfth of the numeri-
cal strength of our nation.
Unfortunately, the remaining portion Is,
and probably will continue to be, divided
into two great parties and these parties are
so nearly balanced, that Romanism can de-
eide anv question it chooses. How this
NAV be done, will appear from the follow
ing facts.
in ls40 about Il, 100000. In the Presiden-
t;al election of that year the whole number
Of votes cast was 2,402, SOC. e. more
than every seventh inhabitant was an actu-

the Catholic population, it assigns to them
200. 900 votes. What tremendous power,

NOnci1CeI next week
One morning when Nh. Parks was at Mrs.
Berry s,that lady inquired whether he knew
of any strangers of distinction being in
town, and made known, as the reason for
asking the question, her intention to give a
soiree in the course of week. After re-
ceiving an answer, she went on talking of
the contemplated party, until interrupted BY
a morning call from a young lady, Miss VI.
Other. and the most commonplace topics
were then introduced and talked Of till the
young lady took leave.
DO you not mean to send a card to
Miss NJ. for our soiree, mother ? asked Di-
ana as soon as she was gone.
Certainly not = said Lucretia. and No,
nv dear, said her mother. Both answered
at the same moment.
And why not p inquired Diana.
i should think your own sense of pro-
priety would tell you,Diana.' said Miss Ber-
ry, while Mrs, Berry remarked that she
disliked mired companies.
lam sure, mamma said Diana, Lucy
is very pretty, very genteel, and well edu-
Gated, and belongs to first-rate family
But in very reduced circumstances, said
Mrs. Berry. All the world knows that
Lucy now earns her livelihood by her nee
dler
She was at Mrs. Vose's brilliant assem-
bly, the other evening, said Diana.
AT this moment Miss Berry turned to
the piano, and striking the keys said to Mr..
Parks
sIcame across piece of music yesterday
that pleased me: will you favour me with
your opinion of it 7
Miss Berry had heard her mother and
sister argue on similar point before and
when they grew warm she could not al
ways trust their discretion before visitors.
She did not engage the attention of Mr..
Parks any too soon for her purpose.
MIR. Vose,' replied Mrs. Berry, in an.
swer to what Diana had said, Mr.. Vose is
worth two hundred thousand dollars at least.
and of course his wife can notice whoever
she pleases, and it all goes off we'll enough.
They have risen from nothing said Di-
ana. and Mrs. Vose, with all their wealth
and show, is a vulgar woman: neither her
manners nor her blood are fiftieth part as
good as Miss MS
But neither manner nor blood will do in
these days, Diana without wealth, or the
appearasee of wealth, people cannot main.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE CROWDED STREET.


BY wM. C. BRYANT.
Let me move slowly through the street,
Filled with an ever-shifting train,
Amid the sound of steps that beat
The uurnuring walks like autumn rain.
How fast the fitting figures come,
The mild, the fierce, the stony face;
Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and some
Wh-re secret tears have left their trace.
They pass to toll, to St rife, TO rest;
To halls in which the feast is spread;
To chambers where the funeral guest
In silence sit beside the dead.
And some to happy homes repair,
Where children pressing cheek to cheek,
With mute caresses shall declare
The tenderness they cannot speak.
And some $ho walk in calmness here,
Shall shudder as they reach the door
Where one who made their dwelling dear
Its flower, its lights seen no moie.
Youth with pale cheek and slender frame.
And dreams Of greatness in thine eye.
GOest thou to build an early name,
Or early in the task to diet
KEN son Of trade, with eager brow
Who is now huttering in ths snareI
Thy golden fortunes-tower they nowl
Or melt the glirtering spires in sirl
Who Of this crowd, tonight, shall tread
The dance till daylight CLEANS againl
WI sorrow DER tn un:imely dead7
Who writhe in throes of mortal paint
;--7-
Some famine struck, shall think how long
The cold, dark hsurs-how slow the light,
A nd some who haunt amid the throng.
Shall hide in dens of shame Tonight.
Each, where his tasks or pleasures call,
They pass and heed each other not.
There is who heeds-who holds them all
In His large love and bOundess thought.
These struggling tides Of life that seem
In wayward, aimless course to tend,
Are eddies Of the mighty stream
That rolls to its predestined end.
