seThe clash of opinion
EInits the spark of Truth"
According to these Rev. Doctors both Protestant

place? One, we hope, that will convert Hunker
Democrats, to a pure Democracy -unfetter the
slave. protect labor against captal-shield wo-
man from the cruelty of man, and provide altern-
ale free seats, in church.
The Catholic church, is a wonderful church.
And the Archbishop, in the following language,
unfolds its colossal designs:
" Professionalism gains nothing; it cannot pre-
serve itself nor its doctrine and if we number
those who have gone further from the truth
among its adherents, or count the multitudes who
have returned to the bosom of the Catholic
Church, there can be no hesitation in saying that
Professionalism has declined, is declining, and is
destined to decline and that before the end ofa
century from to day, there will be throughout the
civilized world but the wreck oft
This is the probability; and it is on this account
that the church has never ceased for moment
to send her missionaries throughout the world.
1t is on this account Professionalism needs ,aid pre-
tends to have discovered, great secrets. 1t is
said the discovery has been made that it is the
intention of the Pope to sieze the valley of the
Mississippi. They seem to think this secret.
Not 80. Every one should know that the church
will convert the whole people Of the United
States if necessary--the army, the navy, the
government, senators, epresentatives-the Pres
ident himself. We have received from God what
Professionalism never received-ac command to go
| and teach all nations.
And why should we not do our best in coun-
try to which we are bound by so many ties ofduty
and gratitude? 1t is no secret-the object and
hope of the Catholic Church are to convert all
nations, including England with its high Parlia-
ment and imperial Sovereign God whohas pre-
mitted this great schsm to take place. knows the
time and circumstances of this conversion.

in relation to the conversion of England to Cath

We cannot but admire the frank bouldness with
which both proclaim their confident expectation
ofbringing the whole of Protestant Christendom

days OF freedom of opinion and conscience, no.
body need object to the attempt being made on the
largest scale.-C Chicago Tribune.

THE FINALE.

NASHVILLE, NOV. 10.
NASHVILLE CONVENTION report of the
Committee was received. The committee being
in session, the Convention took recess of half
an hour.
The chairman reported the preamble, striking
out all the resolutions, and substituting in their
place a series declaring their attachment to
the Constitutional Union, and that it was the
purpose of this Convention to preserve it unde-
faced. That the Union of the States was the
Union of Independent Sovereigntes, with pow
er to resume the delegated powers whenever ne

go into q National Convention, Eve suppose
they meant for the nomination of President,)
leaving Congress to deliberate and act with
a view to arresting further aggressions and
restoring the rights Of the South. He mo-
we'd the previous question, thus cutting off
all discussion. The Tennessee delegates dis
scented from the Report. The vote was taken
on the previous question of adopting the report
as amended. alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina, and Virginia voted
affirmatvely, and Tennessee alone in the mega

EgE Mr. CoDDING, well known in this section
as popular lecturer, delivered a series of lee
lures to cur citizens, during the present week, on
the subject of practical, christianity. We enjoyed
the pleasure of hearing them, and cannot refrain
from Expressing our qualification. Not that every
thing the speaker uttered corresponded with our
opinions but the general tendency of his remarks
of nature beneficial, as it seemed to us, in a
high degree They were aimed mainly to break
down that narrow spirit of sect which holds devo-
ton to creeds, and forms and ceremonies as of pa
ramount importance, to the neglect of those good
works which can alone bless the race or the indi-
vidual 1t will be seen that the Pope of Rome is
making unusual efforts to bring England under his
jurisdiction, and by reference to the address of
Arch Bishop Hughes, it will be seen that the same
design with reference to this nation is shadowed
This win of necessity produce mighty war of opin-
ion throughout the religious world. The time
then, seems favorable for GROWING out of this war
of creeds religion which shall recognise christian
works as its fundamental basis, and unite all men
as brethren, who honestly desire to know the good
and to do it, without regard to cline, color,
ternal condition of any character. 1t is what is
wanted, and hence all efforts to lift up the popular
heart to these Offices of good works flowing out Of
active love to God and Man, we feel heartily to
rejoice in.

THINK OF TT. /.

OF what (? Why of every thing. Are you
not human being, and have you not got think
ing powers Is not the great book of Nature
spread out before you as fully as before any 9TH
err individual? and is it not quite as incumbent
on you to think, to learn, and to know, as it is
upon any other individual? To take another
mans word for anything, without exercising
your own mind, no more satisfies the natural
wants of the mind, than it would satisfy the de-
mands of hunger to take another mans word for
your breakfast, dinner and supper. There is no
department of life or death, of time or eternity,
properly beyond the effort of thought and inyes-
tigation, because you have thinking powers that
sustain intimate relations to these conditions,
and should therefore be exercised with reference
to them. you want your soul to grow as fast
as your body, you must think at least as much
as you eat, for thinkingi is the food of the mind
and without it the soul will no more grow than
will the body without its necessary food.

The Nashville Convention is in session, and
timid souls are looking to its action with fear and
trembling, lest the Union be dissolved. tits for
tunate indeed, in our way of thinking, that we
can have Congresses, and Conventions, and vol
untary assemblages of all kinds, where the sove-
reigns assemble, either in person or by repre-
sentatives, and rid themselves of superabundani
gases. 1t is a sort of safety valve, an evidence
of safety, rather than of danger. Whoever heard
of a steam boiler bursting when the steam pipe
was open and the steam escaping. The louder
the noise the less danger. Take courage, then
timid souls, if we may Judge in view of the es.
Gaping gas, the Union will not explode for some
time yet.
Whilst fanatics in Congress and out of Cor
gress are threatening the dissolution of the U.
MON, causes are at work, silently, but surely
and effectively, binding all parts of the Union to-
gether in firmer and closer bonds. New lines Of
steamers between New York and New Orleans
are projected-new lines of telegraph ramify
from the extremes of the Union through all its
parts. Rail roads are constructed across Mason
and Dxon's line and, in short, all the social and
commercial instrumentalities which bind togeth-
the interest and affections of the race, are be-
ing multiplied indefinitely, and pressed with all
zeal into service. All the disunion speeches OF
Congress and the Nashville Convention comb
ned, would not have the effect in accomplishing
their object that one connecting bar of railroad
iron would in preventing it. Que telegraph line
from New York to New Orleans, will knit the
hearts of the distant people in bonds which can.
not be severed by any amount of defamation
Our constitution and laws have evils in them
which must be rooted out. Its for the best good
fall concerned that they be rooted out Then
discussion will agita'e the nation of course, but
it is healthy agitation. The air is purified by
agitaton-the ocean is purified by agitation ant
so only can the mind of man, and the govern.

MOMENTS RIGHTS.

We last week published little sketch of the pro-
ceedings of a late Women's Rights Convention
held at Worcester, Massachusetts. We are GLAD
to see these convocations becoming more numerous
and general. There is righteous work to be done
and this is the way TODD it. Agitate the question,
keep it before the popular mind, keep pouring in
the light, and however long the triumph be delayed
it will come, and belong to the right.
Of course these demonstrations are met by the
sneers of great majority OF the newspaper press
of the land; what christian measure has not been,
ia its inception. Had the newspaper press of this
day been in existence at the time of Christ nine
out of ten of them would have cried cruelty hint

as good is the right of man to prescribe her

human being, and therefore, naturally entitled to
