sAcEUsErTs.- Excitement against the Priest
HIS Statement.-The Catholic priest Rev. J. ].
Doherty, ofhciated in his pulpit, at Springfield,
Massachusetts, on Sunday. He made speech
to the audience upon the prosecution against
him, referred to accusations that he paid one
thousand six hundred dollars and other sums
for settlement, and read a paper drawn up by
the counsel on both sides. The purport of it
was, that for divers reasons, and especially
for the sum of dollar received to his full ga
tsfaction, Edward Monaghan agreed to with
draw the prosecution pending against j. j.
Doherty for the seduction of his daughter, Mary
Monaghan" He said that he settled for the
sake of peace, and because he could not expect
an impartial trial. 1t was not true that he had
ever, in any manner or form, made a confession
of guilt. God kaosos his innocence, he said i'm
pressively His course, he said, had received
the full appreciation of the bishop. "And,"
said the reverend gentleman, $50 long as it is
his pleasure to keep me here, shall remain"
The feeling, however, of the people of that place
is shown by the following from the Springfield
Republican,:
son Saturday evening Rev. Mr.. Doherty
visited his church with a view Of making pre-
parations for the Sabbath, but was not allowed
to enter, some of the members of his congrega-
ton guarding the door to prevent him. AS he
returned to his carriage, several stones and
pieces of wood were thrown at him. He de-
clared his intention nevertheless to oficiate the
next day, and threats were offered that he
should be put out of the church if he attempted
it."
Since the trial, too, a letter has been received
by Mr.. Monaghan from Mr.. Howard, a Catholic
priest of Ohio, who came on visit to Mr.
Doherty on the 18th of April, 1850, and re-
NAMED till the 23d, when he says he saw Miss
Monaghan in the house. Mr.. D. had introduced
testimony during the trial to show that she was
not in the house at that time, as it was between
these dates that the alleged seduction took
place.

PARTY INPLuENcEs.-In the late Congress
whenever votes were taken upon important
questions, old party views and affnities were
very generally disregarded The g Great Pacif-
Gator" stood up breast and breast with men who
had opposed him all their lives; and often,
while counselling and cooperating with them,
his severest rebukes were visited upon those
whose lives had been devoted to his support.
Inc administrations of General Taylor and of
Mr.. Fillmore have also, in numerous instances,
dsregarded party preferences in the continuance
orbestowment of the Government patronage. We
shall not enter into party disputation upon the
subject of prescription; it is sufficient for US
that instances enough may be pointed out to
establish the general position, that party fealty
has not been universally regarded by high Wing
and Democratic functionares as essentials in
the public servants in whom they would confde
We surely can make no complaint about this
we think it is right. We would oppose pro-
scription on account of the opinions of men
But there is one thing the people should ponder
well upon. If their leaders are not proscriptive,
why should they be In being led by the nose
into the retinues of these leaders, they have all
Deen required to suppress the emotions fprivate
friendships and partialites. They have often put
TO silence their own better judgment, and voted
1or inefficient and unworthy men, in obedience
to the mandates of party The very men whom
they have thus elected have, in many instances,
repudiated this principle of choosing, and have
cast their votes or given their influence in
dehance Of party prescriptions Why cannot
every voter in the land act in like manner?
We are assured that in the State of Maryland,
whore 30 many Offices are now elective, the
usage Of voting with reference to party classic
cation win be disregarded at the approaching
elections, and that the questions asked win be !:
