In its a.ticle with rega-d TO Foreigners,
the Milwaukee Democrat has tie following
We are aware that much effort he's beer
made by religionisls of a certain class, TO
excite the fears Of the community in refer
ence 10 the increasing influence and prcva-
lence Of Romanism, in our country at large,
and particularly at The west We have Of
ten listened to the most lervid effus:ons OF
eloquence on this topic; and Witnessed
some degree ofexcted feeling, BY consider
able portions Of the community, caused by
this species Of alarm. But we deem it q
sufficient reply to all suggestions of this
character, 10 refer to history and to exist
ing facts, in those portions OF the New
World which are, and ever have been, en-.
tirely Catholic. The histories Of Eayti,
Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Beunos Ayres,
Panama, &c, countries whose entire pop
ulation is Of the Romish faith, sufficiently
prove, were there no other proof in ex-
is,ence, that the Catholic religion is far
enough from being anti-rcpublican in its
spirit. How is it possible for an intelii-
gent American to forget.that we are indebt,
ed to Catholic France for our independence
as nationl La Fayette, the brave De
Kalb, Steuben, and Kosciusko were Catho-
lies. And TO what individuals, except
Washington, was the cause more largely
indebted Catholics the enemies Of civil
libertyl We thing Il will be long before
our Union wi exhibit the thoroughgoing
democracy Of the Catholic Republics OF
the South-Repubics in which slavery
cannot be tolerated, and in which not ere,
color excludes from the full enjoyment OF
the immunities of fir .emen.

Distress Of Monied Mcn.-They say
that a Bank in New England having
$4,000 lying here which could not be
wanted for a SHIRT period, sent down three
directors to loan it in some way perfectly
safe. The committee spent some time
here, and finally succeeded in getting
satisfactory security. and interest at the
rate of two and half per cent. On re-
turning home and making ap their accounts
it was found tina, the expenses Of the en-
bassy little exceeded the interest which
would accrue upon the loan.

lises that are jeopardiZed and the many thai
are lost; shall the precious freights which
are passing over the treacherous wave, and
the quantities that are annually swallowed
up, have no influence. Truly, the time has
arrived when further neglect appears to be
little less than criminal.
1t will at once be seen that the question Of
the protection of the commerce of the lakes
is not one ofa local character, confined alone
TO beneftting the inhabitants of Wisconsin.
A commerce so extensive, must necessarily
embrace in its influence and interest. a very
considerable portion of the whole Union.
Even were it not from established policy. a
work national in IFS character, the vast inter
est it embraces makes it 50, and with an eye
to the immediate interest of their constitu-
ents, calls upon the representatives of the
nation to act.
But 1t is the purpose of this statement to
direct attention TO one point, as suitable
point tor the construction of harbor. and
one demanding an appropriation for that pur-
pose. Pans have been taken to collect the
facts requisite to enable every one to Judge
correctly of the natural capacity of the point
for the construction of such work, as also
the grounds on which such appropriate on is
asked.
