For the Crescent.
Messrs. Edstors-In your paper Of Thursday last,
was letter from New York, giving report Of an
address delivered by Rev. Mr.. PLATTE, before
some religious convention in that city. This ad-
dress contains the following paragraph:
at [Atheism1 was the natural result Of Popery.
and he invoked the patriotism and good sense of
Americans, TO beware Of the extension of its infiu-
ence in the United States, if they wished TO pre-
serve their glorious republican system and Tree IN
situations, and not fail into the desolate and hope
less condition in which we see France, Italy and
SPAIN"
Among the Catholics are some of our worthiest
citizens and are we to be told by one who has been
but a short time with US, that they are opposed to
our institutions. That they are laboring to ac-
compish their overthrow Such an assertion will
be rejected by every one; while 1t will be suffi'
GENTLY reuted by the history OF the past Wilson.
in his History of America, says; Maryland
was the first American State in which religious toll
Grafton was established by law. While, at this
very period, the Puritans were prosecuting 'heil
Protestant brethren in New England, and the
Epscopalians were retorting the same severity on
the Puritans in Virginia, there was forming, II
Maryland, sanctuary where all might worship
and none might Cypress; and where even Pro
testants sought refuge from Protestant intoler
ance." And yet Maryland was Catholic colo
n.y. In 1888, Catholics are represented as estab
fishing the first real republican government ii
America; and in 1851, they are accused of at
tempting it's overthrow! Mr.. PLATTE should at
tend to his "spiritual calling" and dispense wit
unnecessary advice and mchristian charges.

MOBILE SOUTHERN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION
A meeting of this association was held in Armory
Hall on the night of Friday last. The Tribune
says that considerable numbers " were present.
The object was to appoint delegates to the adj
journed Montgomery Convention on the I'd Mon
day in june Objections were made to the associ-
ton connecting itself with politics, and particularly
to its interesting itself in the District Convention
to be held in Mobile on the 4th Monday of May,
for the purpose Of nominating candidate for Re-
preventative to Congress. These objections pre-
vailed, but twenty delegates were nominated for
the Montgomery Convention, without reference to
political nominations, and resolution inviting the
association and all friends of Southern rights to
meet on Friday next and appoint delegates to the
Mobile Convention, was adopted.

Georgia, the FIRST OF southern states.

Truly, Georgia seems to be State blessed more
beautifully than any of her sisters. The Macon
(Ga) Journal of the 18th inst received yester-
day. and is as welcome as any sheet that has fallen
into our hands for many day. On one page it
has full account of the Disunion proceedings in
Charleston, while in front Of that reasonable pic
ture it presents admirable letter from Hon. Joel
R. Poinsett, of South Carolina, showing the de-
graded and helpless condition to which his native
State would be reduced by secession. Farther and
enough to show proper contempt for these Disunion
proceedings, about one-half of the second page Of
this journals filed wth-Accounts Of Union meet
| ngs in large number of counties in Georgia, and
with lists of delegates chosen to attend the Consti
tutional Union Convention, to be held in Milledge
vile on the LIST Monday in June next. Referring
| to these NEE tings, the Journal says:
| "INe People Moving.-We refer to the proceed
| ings of the various Union meetings in this paper
with feelings of pride and pleasure. We could have
filled our whole paper with them. They prove that
secession and treason obtain perms nen foot
hold in Georgia. The June Convention will be
the largest ever assembled in the State"
| few solid and caustic editorial articles, de-
nouncng secessionsm and excoratingits agitators
complete the political composition of this humble
| of the Journal. Enough to make Disunionis
open ms eyes ana exclaiH, L ne pane ana anti

But the Macon Journal, with all this politica
reading, is far from being political paper only
The same number Of this Journal has full repor

cultural, commercial and miscellaneous articles

prosperous, wealthy and independent people. Will

their interests and basking in the sunshine an

asserted as cover for fraud or as justification for
the commission of a crime against the country, or
for violation Of its laws, when this appears to be
the intention of the act"
The same doctrine was either expressly I'M
pliedly sanctioned in all the cases which cited
| in our previous article, for the parties to them
| claimed to have changed their allegiance. 1t is
indeed but the extension to this subject of prnci-
pie familiar to every lawyer, that what is done in
fraud Of the law is null and void, and is to be
| regarded as it it never had been done. We may
consider this principle then incontrovertbe, and
applying it to the present ease, ask, if the pre-
tended change of allegiance of these men had any
other object than evasion of the law? Was
it not mere fmsy cover for hostile design upon
a peaceful and friendly power Did they, upon
the failure Of their plans and their return to this
country, regard themselves in any other light than
as American citizens? Have any Of them hesi-
lated to exercise the privileges, and discharge the
functions pertaining to that character? If they
ever changed their allegiance, to what power did
they transfer it :? These questions which W,
think the Delta will find it difficult answer, 70
indeed SO evident is the fraud that had the Language
quoted above, and that cited from the of tn
Gran Para, in our previous article, been writer
expressly for this case, it could not have been rem
dered more appropriate
Il Again, we have seen above, that change @
} domicil is necessary to effect the repatriation
: Now, every lawyer knows that this can only b
accomplished by a union of intention and fact
. He who would make the change must actually d
. so, and until he has fixed himself in his new doml
Gil, he is regarded as having retained the origina
- | one. Now, we presume, that il will not be con
l. tended that any Of these men have ever acquires
u an actual domlcil in Cuba. Here, them fails on
OF the essential requisites of expauialion, tha

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution OF
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress, I"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south Of the present building, or by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount Of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted.
