The Religious Test in New Hamps8;rs.

and is of high repuis among those OF the
Catholic faith. both as political and relig.

following:
"Mr. Pierce It is generally conceded.

Change Of Publication Day.

The next number of the SENTINEL will
be issued on Wednesday of next week, after
which time it will be issued regularly on
Wednesday. We have long felt the incon-
veniences of publishing on Mondays, but
have issued ON that day because we have
disliked to make too frequent changes. We
think Wednesdays will accommodate the
mails and be AS satisfactory to cur readers
as any other day.

TROUBLE IN THE WHlGwAM.-Notwith>
standing the Scott papers are felicitating
themselves upon the great 'enthasiasm"
and beautiful ''harmony" which reigns in

that strikes terror to their hearts. To pre-
vent the people form knowing their disjoint.
ed condition, they suppress portion Of the
dispatches which go TO show tho spirit in
which their nominations are received in
many sections. Here are few of the
dispatches which don't find their way into
the whig papers:
Maysville, June %. The nomination OF
Scott and Graham caused some disappoint-
msnt, but the party will probably stick to
the ticket.

INsuLTIsG.-The wings just before every i'm
portant election are taken with fit of economy
Their recent Baltimore Convention declared in
favor of collecting Revenue sufficient fer the
expenses of an economical administration of the
Government, in time of peace" by system Of
impost duties. What could be more insulting?
At the very time when the whig administration,
by its Galphinisms and Gardnerisns, is bank.
rupting the national treasury, and by its pecula-
tions.and pilferings, running the governmental
expenses up from ssa, 100000 to near $eo,ooo,-
not only supremly ridiculous, bnt is a downright
insult to the intelligence ofthe American people

@our neighbor Of the Wig thinks
the "finality" was not adopted BY the Whig
Convention, and seems exceedingly pleased
with the resolutions. They are "just the
things" and couldn't have been more to his
liking if he had ordered all himself. Easi.
ly suited, isn't he? But if the "finality"
was not adopted we don't understand what
was. What kind of an amendment can be
made to them under the whig resolutions
that can ''impair their efficacy" They
might adopt the amendment asked for by
the Maryland Legislature, to compel the
people TO turn out upon the demand Of the
Marshall as = posse to arrest fugitives,
under severe penalty, but they cannot a
mend it SO as to impair its present efficacy.
