The continued distress in Ireland-star-

CHOW considering that Elisha Cutler,
the Chairman Of the Locofoco State Central
Committee, is also at the head of The Inf
sloI Q, gun;.'rtiou of the State, these circun-
stances might give rise to the suspicion
that the leaders Of the party entertain some
slight hostility TO the Methodist Church"
The above sectarian fire brand was
thrown into the elements of the coming
political contest by the Desmoines Valley
Wing, in order TO blind the eyes of the
people to the true matters at issue, and to
excite sectarian sympathy. 1t needs nc

Il Some of the Native wbie papers
are so violent in their anlipathy toforelgn-
ers, that they cannot refrain from denoun-
cling the poor creatures who are visited by
God with the sorest Affections. 1t is we'll
knownthat disease called the ship ferer has
visited many ofthe late emigrants, particu-
larry those from Ireland. II has been very
fatal Oh account ofthe previous suffering
and deprivation of the poor sufferers, and
thousands have been swept into the grave,
where their hopes and their sufrerinss are
alike ended. This is a visitation of God,
and the poor oulcasts whe have suffered
much worst than the pangs of death should
receive the commiseration and sympathy
of all Christian people. But the native
papers have no sympathy they have but
the idea of political advancement before
them, and are constantly abusing as pau
pers and felons those who have committed
no offence against .he laws Of God nor
man, and whose ONLY crime is their hope
less poverty, produced by blighled crops
and bad government. There is neither
patriotism nor christianity in such native
ism as this, and we want none of it

Catholics to save the Religion Of Mexico,

Catholics to save the Religion Of Mexico,
and rescue the people of the United States
by opposing the actual administration Of
the country. The hypothesis Of the Elk
prers is atfocious under every point Of
view. No doubt allowances are to be
made for the weakness which is percept-
ible on all subjects in its editorial columns.
Still, it is altogether inexcusable that an
American editor should impute such VIII
lainy OF design to the policy Of our free
Government, to the Protestant spirit of
his own co-religionists he should
appeal to foreigners, by their country and
their creed, to step in and rescue these
United States-that he should make this
appeal under pretence of zeal for rei-
gion Of which he is the feeble but con-
slant enemy. 0, if the Catholics, the
Germans as such, were to rally on points
Of creed and country, how the delicate
sensibilities Of the Express and his col
league would be shocked at the idea of
mixing up religion with politics! But
yet, here is a direct, shameless appeal
made to Religion from the political camp,
inviting 1t to enter, as welcome and inn
portant element in party strife. We do
not believe that the present adminislra
ton Of the Government have the slight
est Partially for the persons, or thu. re-
ligion of Catholics. We believe them to
be, more or less, in that mist of Pro,es-
tant prejudice, which in honest minds re-
suits from their not knowing precisely
tie true character Of what they oppose.
But, it has never entered into our minds,
to suspect them Of any conscious design
to use the civil power with which their
country have entrusted them, for the pur-
pose of breaking down one religion, and
building up another, either at home or a.
broad. Their own uniform professions,
the proclamations Of the commanding off.
GERS in the field, and their conduct SO far,
in reference to the Religion OF the Next
can people, refute the SANDERS ofthe Ex-
press on this subject. The only public
evidence, slight as it was, to the contrary,
was speculation in the Washington I'm
ion Of the J 18th of May, which has been
disavowed by the Government. The burst
of Indignation with which that article was
denounced by the secular press of the
whole country, is strong refutation of the
SANDER uttered by the Express against his
Protestant countrymen, when he would
have us believe that the freemen of Amer
lea in the 10Th century are carrying on the
war with Mexico in the same spirit as
that which animated John Knox and his
followers in the Reformation of Scotland,
three hundred years ago We make am
pie allowances for the prejudices of Prot
estants, whether supporting the war, or
opposed to it; but we are bound to say,
that considering the triumphant position of
our arms in Mexico, the character of one
country will be elevated in the esteem Of
foreign nations, in consequence of the def
erence and respect paid by our gallant ar
my to the religious rites and worship of
the Mexican people,
