Gen. Pierce
AND THE RELIGIOUS TEST.

The calumny which represented General
Pierce as hostile 20 the Catholics has been
already sufficiently related, and has fallen
in that utter and universal contempt which
its malignity and falsehood so richly de-
serve.
The following conclusive state ment on
the subject made by Catholics residing
in the immediate vicinity of Gen. Pierce's
home, and who have therefore been them.
selves the witnesses OF his efforts in favor
of religious liberty, is not now needed for
Gen, Pierce's vndlcaiion.
But its publication vii serve a good pur.
pose, as showing the desperation nudacity
of tasehood which must from the first have
characterized the attempt to misrepresent
Gen Pierce on this question:
CONCORD. N. H., Aug. IS. 1852.
Dear Sir Understanding that an I'M.
preston has obtained in Wisconsin to a
considerable extent, and especially among
that portion Of your people that are Cath
oIics, that General Frankliu Pierce, of this
State, was unfriendy to Catholics as a re-
ligious sect, and that an attempt has been
made to hold him responsible for the odous
religious test contained in the constitution
of this State, the undersigned, Catholic
citizens of Concord, deem it our duty 10
say that the Catholics of this State and OF
New England, and especially that portion
of them that are Of his political opinions
entertain for him the highest respect as a
politician and man. Especially do they
feel under great obligations to him for his
powerful efforts in the convention to ex-
punge that odious "test" from the consti-
| tuition of New Hampshire and for his ef
forts before the people to have the amend.
ment to the constitution adopted which pro-
vided for the striking out the religious test.
Any impression of the indicated does
Gen. Pierce great injustice. aud we regret
that for partisan purposes has been thus
m.srepresented. We send this to you, not
for electioneering or partisan purposes, bp.
as simple act of justice to one OF the
strongest opponents the odious "test" has
in New Hampshire and in one of the most
liberal and tolerant OF his citizens. We
have been present in several meetings, and
at the last town meeting, when this pro-
posed amendmen: was submitted to the
people, and have heard Gen Pierce address
the people in favor of abolishing this test"
and any representation that he is opposed
to striking out that "test," or that he has
not exerted himself to have that test abol-
ished, must proceed either from profound
ignorance, or malicious misrepresentation
of the man, his character and course, in
relation to this "test" question.

CAPTURE OF HAwKs--Mr. Jacob Shaulk
has adopted good plan to kill off those
pest of farmers->hawks. He erects pole
about ten feet high. Iand probably higher
one would answer better purpose The
lower end, instead Of being planted in the
ground, is fastened to the centre of two fin t
cross tinbers, and braced, stones being
laced on the tlmbers TO keep the pole from
blowing over On the top of the pole is
placed common steal trap, the lower bar
being fastened securely to top Of the pole
by staple. He sets the trapin some place
where hawks are likely to come. and leaves
it. The bird seeing nice perch on the
top of poe, selects il for point of oh.
servation, and as soon as he alights, the
trap springs aud catches his legs. Th,
pole can readily be pulled over the bird
taken out, and the trap set for another. II
this manner, Mr.. s. has caught 2l hawks
besides large number of owls The only
objection we see TO the trap, is, that ther,
is danger Of destroying other birds, that ar,
not only harmless. but usefal

We thus zee that by the close of the present cen
tuTy in fifty years from 1850, forty eight years
from the present time, the United States will con
tain 81 2i6 whites and only 10 9S9. 355 blacks
and in 1910, or in sixty years from 1850, in fifty
eight years from the present time, QS52) the white
population will reach lI3 035 59i, while the blacks
will only reach, at the spme period, II 1856, 1913
showing that, shape things as we may, they will be
overwhelmed by the whites, and that their final ex.
tinction is mere question of time. 1t is difficult
TO their disappearance by emancipation their hap
piness, in the aggregate, would be <nhanced by
the adoption Of such measure. If mental suffering
is keener than bodily pain, and alienation Of mind
the greatest calamity which can befall human
being, then it is shown by the census that the
negro slaves have the advantage of the whites. IL
seems, among the whites there exists one insane
person to every ESQ., and among the free people Of
color, one to every 1888, while among the slaves
there is only one insane to every ll,0lO.
Among the whites there is one deaf mute to each
215l; Of free color, enc to each 3.095, and among
the slaves, only one to each 6,552 OF the blind
there is one to every 2,4l5 whites one to $40 FREQ
people Of color, and one to each 2,625 slaves The
statistics Of srime, it is believed, will also show
difference in favor Of the slaves, and against the
whites and free people Of color.
Looking to the diffusion of Christianity and tho
number Of churches, and value Of church property
1t would appear that they are pretty equally dis.
tributed over the whole Union. II We take the fol-
loving slave States and compare them with SINH
lar number Of free States, shall End the number
Of churches to inhabitants, negroes and all, are
equal to many ofths most favored free States,
while in others they sx'esd them. This proves
that there is extensive church accommodation fer
the slaves at the South or, which ia not the fact,
that the whites support double the number of
churches for their exclusive accommodation to the
whites at the North -
