OF the resolution. mainly on the ground that the
report ia favorable 10 the construction OF n new
canal around the falls Of the Ohio, on the Indiana

"The yeas were in favor of emancipating the
Catholics and others prescribed from holding Of
fee in this State on account OF their religious
opinions, and the nays were for retaining the
excluding test. The friends OF General Pierce
are very anxious to obtain the votes of natu-
rallied citizens, and especially of the Catholics !;
and while they keep from the people at a dis
lance the fact that he took an active part in
the convcntion-and his party are almost twice
as strong as the Wings in the State-they give the
people to understand that the reason the test was
not stricken out was, that the Democratic party
was unable to obtain two thirds vote for its ex
clusion, and they falsely say that the Wings very
generally voted in the negative. This they dare
not utter in their papers here, but cause it to be
published wherever Catholics are numerous.

IL is hardly worth while to contradict the idle
tales Of the Washington correspondents Of certain
New York papers relative to an uofriendly feeling
said to exist between the Secretary Of State and
the President. Those who invent them have their
own purposes TO serve. Similar stories, IL will be
remembered, were put forth upwards Of year
