the following article, written by MIR. Marshall
Anderson of Chilicothe, Ohio rejecting upon the
democratic party, because some of its members
and journalists favor Kossuth, and which the

opportunity to present to our its) readers" and
to which is 3: cAeertuliy yielded Gts) Editori-

the arrogant pretentions of Kossuth, thus speaks
of two journals of the democracy that advocate
his cause, and of the duties Of Catholics:
''From almost every pulpit and press, they
{the Catholics, are denounced, if, in the lam
guage of the democratic Cincinnati Enquirer,
they were the fast friends of the political des-
potsms of the old world, nurtured at our own
hearth stones and he further makes the query,

persevering democrat-a democrat from my boy

when l find myself and all other Catholic dem

without glow of indignation, L envy not his
head or his heart. Is it the duty of Democracy
to give utterance to, and believe in, the foulest
falsest most malignant slanders against the chief
Bishop and head of the Catholic church? If so,
then have l. and many of the same faith, who
have hitherto been the staunchest friends of that
party, sadly mistaken our position. tits known
that the great ajority of the Independent vo-
ters of the Catholic Church, have gone, heart
and hand, with the leaders of Democracy, in the
advocacy and maintainance of those principles
which they believed, would secure the greatest
amount of happiness and prosperity to our coun-
try. But, we are not disposed to be trampled
upon We desire to be treated as men, as free
men. Let them not fancy that they are driving
us with cares and snaffies in our mouths. The
Catholics are not slaves nor the leaders of
democracy their masters Let the ruling spir-
its ofBatimore affairs look well to their action.
Once for all say, beerare!'''

ferson and Jackson will be his platform, and
when elected, care will be taken that the bless
ings of government, like the dews of heaven,
shall be dispensed alike upon all, no matter
what may be their religious convictions or sta
ton in life Mr. Anderson should recollect that
the inuendoes of the Cincinnati Enquirer cannot
be considered as the voice of the Democratic par
!, ty of the nation and that the January number
of the Democratic ReUie1o has been read out of
the party for its base insinuations against veter
an democrats, as also for its % Young American
disquisitions. George Sanders, the editor of the
Reuieu, is known to be stepped in corrupt
Vaccinations as to have lost the good opinion of
honorable men.
Il Mr.. Anderson has overlooked two important
facts The first is, that it is a moral impossi-
bility for party, so numerous the democrat
lie not to have in its household, advocates Of
Kossuths doctrines. The second that he has
forgotten, or does not desire to be aware of the
fact, that the most ardent pleaders for the cause
of the Hungarian are wings. We are confident
that the ablest advocate for Kossuth in the u.
Is. Senate is VIM. II. Seward, whig Senator
from New York. The newspapers which most
zealously labor for him, are the ". Y. Tribune,
". Y. Times, Phsburg Gazette, and Pths6urg
Dispatch edited respectively by Horace Greedy,
Henry J. Raymond, D. I. White and J. H. Fos-
ter all wings. His most active friends before'
during and after his visit to Harrisburg, wese
John c. Kunkle and Gen. Samuel J. Karns, both
wings. More of the same sort could be spoken
of but we merely mention these instances to
demonstrate that the opposition party are as
deep if not deeper in the intervention question
than the democracy. On the other hand Hon.
Wm r. Smith, democrat, from Alabama, took
the lead in Congress for an adherence to the
principles of Washington as promulgated IN his
E Farewell Address, while Hon. jeremiah Glenn
Fl ens democrat, U. S. Senator from Alabama, on
several occasions made eloquent speeches against
the Kossuth doctrine and in favor Of maintain
ing our neutrality. Gen. Cass only desired the
passage of a resolution by the U. S. Senate
''sympathising with every people who are striy-
ing to establish free governments, recognizing
