HOW shall Vote :!

ant, love the Bible and can't give It up Now "nae so
do? Vote for the "Amencan Party OF which you sai
beware OF le, the Catholics take from the Bible To-
the sake of supporting the Whigs, any other party
candid Conscientious inquirer and TRUE WIG.
n. J. Oct. Goth.
We do not know how we may better solve
our correspondents difficulty than by rever-
emily quoting the answer to not dlsslmlaI
question many hundred years ago-vlz. Ken
der unto Cesar the things that are Caesars
but unto God the things that are Gods" Ii
strikes us that this Divine axiom covers substan-
italy the ground of perplexity to our cores
pondent.
But how does he make out, or with what rea-
son aver, that to vote for the Wing ticket Is TO
vote against the Bible? What has the Wing
party done that should subject it to the lmputa-
ton that to support It's nominations to " let the
Catholics take from us our Bible" Wethought
we were tolerably acquainted with the acts and
purposes of the Wings, but we know nothing TO
Justify this imputation. In so far as the Wing
party has acted at all with any reference to the
Bible, we are sure 1t cannot be charged with
evincing hostility to that Sacred Volume.
We might stop here, until our correspond
ent attempts to substantiate the grave charges
implied in his note, but we should acquescc in
and countcnance injustice did we not add that
we believe he has wrongly accused the Catho-
lies also in assuming that they wish to ''take
from US our Bible There may be bigots and
prosecutors among them, but that the Catho-
lies, as body, desire any such thing as the dcs-
tructon of the Bible appears to us monstrous
assertion, which ought not to be put forth thus
lightly.
We are utterly opposed to any warping or
twisting of the Whig party into the support Of or
hostility to peculiar Theological views and, by
inevitable consequence, driving off to our op-
ponents all who feel aggrieved by such course.
The voters you gain by committing the party to
some local or temporary feeling are off next year
those you alenatc by this course never forget it.
It would be Just as proper to call on the Wing
party to take stand against Puseyism or Uni
tarianism as against the Catholics, or, on its fail
ing to do so, get up new party to defend the
Bible. The Wing party is banded to uphold
certain great Conservative yet Liberal principles
of Government, to sustain and promote certain
vital measures of National policy; he who is
heartily in favor of these is Wing, politically
the equal and comrade of the rest, no matter
what are his Theological opinions or even if he
have none.
One word about the Bible. We certainly do
not believe that Holy Book is In any danger OF
but if it were, we should not dream
Of sustaining it by getting up new Political
Party. And, since our correspondent appeals to
Is for advice, we shall give it frankly. If he
ears that the Bible is to be "taken from u.s." let
i'm be careful to read few chapters of it daily,
Is he has opportunity for it will be hard to take
away so much Oft as he has fixed in his memory
md his heart. Let him commend the same to
lis children, and Qf able) distribute few copies
among such of his acquaintances or neghbors
will gratefully receive and reverently study it.
Whatever Translation he or they may prefer, we
ire confident it cannot fail to make wise those
Who honestly peruse it. Let him take this
,ourse and consistently pursue it, and we are
ure he will have effected more good than by join
ng and huzzaing with all the new parties which
nay be got up for the next century. Ed. Tr.
