Mr.. Brawley of this class of citizens' Mr.
Forbes is himself foreigner, and has done as
much to recommend himself to the kind regards
of his elow-foreigners as ever did the editor OF
the Democrat, with the single exception, per-
haps, that he did not. last winter, as did our
neighbor, run wild with the KOssuth mania, and
write articles eulOgistic of the great Hungari-
ans anti-C Catholic speeches. But it is useless to
spend time and space in noticing such bare-fa-
ced attempts to humbug an intelligent people.
While the American born portion of his own
party look with contempt at the want Of candor
at such course, the foreign born see the trick
and will rebuke it at the ballot box.

WHAT IRIsHMEN THINK.-Here is some more
testimony of the estimation in which Franklin
Pierce and the Loco Foco party are held by
Irishmen, with regard to the religious test
Nashua IN: H. Telegraph.
We, the undersigned Catholics and citizens of
Nashua and Nashville, having seen statement
signed by some thirty-six of our cOuntrymen, in
which it is stated that the Democratic party in
this State has uniformly been opposed to what
is called the religious test" and that the
Democratic nominee has eXerted himself to
erase the odious feature from the Constitution !;
we feel it our duty to say that the statement We
believe is calculated to mislead the public, and
particularly our countrymen, inasmuch as the
Democratic party alone is responsible for its
retention in the Constitution and that Gener-
al Pierce has never, to our knowledge done
anything upon that question to recommend
him to the Catholic voters of the State while
on the other hand. the Wings of these two
towns have uniformly been in favor of striking
out, and voted by large majorities in favor Of

We append an extract from letter received
from gentleman of character and intelligence
who has had excellent opportunities of ascer-
tanning the truth on the subject of which he
writes. We conversed on Saturday with a
Southern Merchant, who has spent the last three
summers in the State of New York, and whose
report conincided literally with that furnished
by our correspondent. The southern gentleman
to whom we allude remarked that on first going
into the State the chances struck him as favor
ing Pierce, but that the period which has since
elapsed has sufficed to effect a mighty change :
and he returns to Alabama with the conviction
that the Empire State of the North will give a
large majority for Gen. Scott Here is the ex-
Washington Republic.

cannot but prove suspicious to the Wing cause

ranks of this State, particularly in this city,
which. if true, might render the result doubtful
But these results are utterly without foundation,
and are made by the supporters of Pierce and
King for effect abroad. When the nomination
of the conquerOr of Mexico was first announced,
there were some who, as they did when General
Taylor was nominated, hesitatcd for time as
to what course they should pursue. But as be-
tween Scott an Pierce it did not take them long
to decide and from all that have seen and
heard, feel confident that vast majority of the
people are, heart and soul, for the election of
Winfield Scott and William A. Graham, and
they ill rally to their support with energy and
zeal which will most assuredly secure to them
the vote Of New York. Let our Wing brethren
