Another Clincher to the Wing
Lie on the Catholic Test.

We find the following letter from the pas
tor of the Catholic church in Manchester, in
the Hartford Times:
MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 81, 1852.
consider i'll not only fair but an act Of
gratitude TO Frank Pierce TO excupate him
from any implied Or expressed GOODNESS in
advocating the abolition of The New Hamp-
shire test | say an ACT of gratitude, for
assure you there is not another man in
America who more cordially detests bigotry
and eXcluslveness than he; nor was there
one in the convention of this State, who so
energetlcally eDGeavored TO secure the re-
moval of the test In the town meetings,
called professedy for its abrogation or re-
tention, he used all his brilliant eloquence to
induce citizens to vote for It's repeal.
repeat that the Catholics of this State
owe him deep debt of gratitude, which he
has unintentonallY and frequently imposed
on them.
When the Catholic churches in Phladel-
phia were in flames, he was the leader in
calling town meeting in Concord, and
therein pleaded the cause of the Catholics,
and particularly The safely Of the Catholics In
Concord.
When some three or four years ago, en-
lssaries from the New York society, sympa-
thiZing with the Portuguese who were said
10 be prosecuted, visited Concord and called
meeting to raise money, PIERCE stood up
and fearlessly pronounced their history a
forgery.
These and many other kindred facts in
the life of Franklin Pierce, you may learn
among the Concord Catholics, showing the
dlsinIerested honesty OF the man, ana that
his aid and sympathy were rendered before
he or any one dreamed of his being nomi-
mated for the presidency.

Eusk Beds.
=, yours. truly,
WIN. MCDONALD.

No one who has not tried them, knows The
value of husk beds. Straw and mattresses
would be entirely done away with, if husk
beds were once tried. They are not only
more pliable than mattresses. but more dur
able. The cost is trlHing. To have husks
nice they should be split after the manner of
splitting straw ior braiding. The finer they
are split the softer will be the bed, although
they will not be likely to last as long as when
put in whole. Three barrels full. well
slowed in, will fill good sized tick, that is,
after they are split. The bed will always be
light, the husks do not become matted down
like feathers, and they are certainly more
healthy to sleep OH.
Feathers ought to be done away with, es-
pecially in warm weather. For spring. sum-
mer and fall. husk beds ought to be 'all the
CO., and such will undoubtedly be the case
when they are brought into use. There is
no better time to procure the busks than
when the corn IS being harvested, and the
husks will be much nicer and cleaner when
the corn is cut up at the bottom and put IN
stocks. They do not become so dry and
weather beaten. It's calculated good husk
bed will last thirty years.-El.

Pennsylvania.

The Democratic State Central Committee
of Pennsylvania have issued the following
Address TO the Democrats of that State, con-
graduating them upon The great victory just
obtained. and bidding them prepare for the
great contest in November. 1t is an elo-
quent appeal, its truths and appeals having
an appropriateness TO our own State:
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA We con-
gra,ulaIe, we honor, we thank you for the
etfectual victory you have achieved. The
night of doubt and fear has passed away, and
Aurora, from her dewy bed, with rosy
cheeks, rises, with beaming smiles upon
you. The eyes of your brethren through
the Union were directed towards you, and
their voices are heard from every quarter,
All hail, Pennsylvania The news Of your
victory has assembled them in spontaneous
gatherings, waking the silent air with huz-
zas of congratulation, and the waters of the
Kennebec, the Hudson, and the A labama,
have been redeemed with bonfres lighted in
your honor.
And well do you deserve the glories which
are showered upon you, for the Great Con-
stiiutional Democratic triumph, which, under
Providence, you have been the means of
achieving, in behalf Of our beloved Union
The vallies and hills of Pennsylvania were
the conceded battle fields of the great con.
test, and the fires of the enemy were con-
centrated upon them. The allurementS o
gunpowder and gold, and the subtle serpent
slander, have been employed in the conflict
but thanks TO your unfinching aud indoni-
table manliness, they have all been EN-
| p'oyed in vain.
Fellow Democrats! we owe a debt to the
Past. and to The Future. To The Past. tha
our Union, and its foundation stone, Democ
racy, shall be maintained by us, with watch

Keep it Before the People

That the Federal leaders opposed the war
between the United States and Mexico;
That they refused TO vote for appropriations
TO feed and clothe the soldiers;
That they opposed the acquisition of New
Mexico and California;
That they have encouraged malfeasauce in
office;
That they have robbed the treasury of over
two millions of dollars
That they have violated their promises to
the merchant and mechanic;
That they have declared the tariff question
an obsolete idea;
That they have sworn to repeal the fugitive
slave law;
That they have opposed, and now combat the
compromises of the Constitution
That in the North they are allied to AboIi-
tionism, in the South to sectionaism, in the
West to agrariansm, and in the East to mo-
nopoly;
That they are pledged to carry out the radi-
cal Federal notions of HAMILTON, which gives
to an arrogant minority the power to oppress
the masses of the people, and the privilege
to enrich themselves at the expense of the ma
jority;
That VIM. A. Graham opposed the right of
universal suffrage;
That he voted and spoke against the tariff of
1s42;
That while Secretary of the Navy, he en-
couraged favoritism and nepotism;
That he approved of the Galphin and Gardin-
er frauds;
That he is pledged in the South to free
trade, and in the North to rank abolition
ism;
That he is in favor of direct taxation to
supply the revenues to sustain the govern
ment.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Gen. SCOTT is the secret friend of abo-
lition agitation
That he is opposed to the naturalization
laws;
That he now uses his official position, and
the funds of the government, to promote his
election to the Presidency
That he is now in the hands of William H.
Seward, the man who breaches higher law
than the Constitution, and who is engaged in
plotting the dissolution of the Union
That he has frequently declared his adhe-
renee to the doctrine which created the United
States Bank, and desoated the merchant and
mechanic;
That he violated the order of President Polk,
while at the head of the army in Mexico;
That he quarrelled with his superiors, and
lnsulted his subordinate officers;
That he malgned those who bravely fought
in the war of 1912, in order the better to en-
large his own reputation;
These are facts, and the Federal press can
not dlsprove them. We invite any Federal
orator or editor to show that any of the above
assertions are not substantially true.

A Sixpence for a Kiss.

Coming down town in one Of the Bowery
omnbusses the other day, we were ncci-
dentnlly one of a trio-two of which consist
ed of brace of rather pretty girls, who
seemed TO enjoy the ride remarkably. The
stage did not get another customer until on
the corner of livingston street, rather
spruce looking young man stepped in, who
seated himself by our side, evidently inspect
ing the Joyous tempting damsels opposite,
with an eye of remarkable interest.
They took little notice of him being evi-
IDENTITY engaged in earnest bu, laughing con-
fab.
As the conveyance neared The intersec.
ton of Chatham Square with Division street,
our young companion pulled the string, and
showing two shilling piece to The driver,
with the cabalsric interjection of rwo!-
took his change through the strap hole, and
as lie retreated towards the door in the rear,
suddenly put his arm round The neck Of one
of the unsuspecting madens-lhe prettiest
one and bending his face TO her lips, i'm
printed warm hearty kiss. upon the twin
cherries which composed the lips aforesaid!
Ii was the action of an instant, and, in
three seconds more he was out OF the stage
and round the corner, with only one rogue
ish glnnce over bis shoulder.
The poor girl turned pale, and then sud-
denly became remarkably :ed in the face,
the blush mantlng to her very temples,
while she hastily wiped the insult from her
pretty labials with a neat white handker-
chief.
But he paid your fare, Sarah 7 whispered
her sister divinity, as with nudge OF the el.
bow, she turned consoingly TO the offended
fair one.
Did he !? well, he can hare dozen more al
the same price
There was quiet but meaning chiickle,
and Just then the driver gave the horses the
reins.
We were crowded farther away from the
girls in the corner, moraliZing tremendously

THE LoNDoNER.-This ledge Of rocks,
about mile outside Of Thatcher's Island, is
one of the most dangerous places or our
coasts. 1t is about a mile in extent from
north to south, and at low tide there is about
a quarter of an acre out of water. Within
few years past, government has placed two
beacons upon the rock, but they have both
been washed away. This year measures
have beeh taken to place shaft on the rock i,
but the woIkmen have been unable as YET to
complete drilling The hole for it. They can
only work at the very lowest tides, in pleas
ant weather, and then only short time. as
in the smoothest water, the sea will some
times break over the rock five or six feet
high.
The shaft which has been manufactured
for this purpose, is now at Rockport; il is of
wro't iron, As feet long. % inches in dame
Ter at the base, and inches at the apex, and
weighs I3 tons. At the apex is 10 be a cast
iron frame feet long and leet in diameter.
The hole in which the shaft is to be placed,
will be five feet deep when finished but il
is extremely doubtful if they will be enabled
TO set the shaft this season. Gloucester Ie!e-

Weeds Opinion of Scottin ,4s.

In the character of Gen. Scott there is
much, very much to commend and admire.
But the mischief is there is WEAKNESS in
all he says or does about the Presidency. In
mediately after the close of the campaign of
lS40, he wrote gratuitoas letter, making
himself candidate, an achich all sorts Of un-
arse things ,oere SAID to return and plague his
friends if he should be candidate. And since
that time ,cih a tatnty lohich seiaes upon men
,oho get Je,cildered in gazing at the While House,
he has been suffering his pen to dim the glories
achieved By his sword.'-Thurlo,o Weed.
