.POIitics and Relf1iOn,D

The Union is concerned lest the interests of
religion suffer from the introduction of sectarian
elements into the Presidential contest.
We should be inclined to sympathize with
our contemporary if. its own party had not
shown great readiness to use sectaransm as a
means of opposing General SCOTT. AS mat
tiers stand, we think we are not uncharitable
in surmislng that the anxiety for religious in
terests with which the organ has become so
suddenly affected, is but secondary to an anx-
iety for the reputation of General PIERcE's
New Hampshire friends, who mix "politcs
and religion" in manner which is certainly
not beneficial to either.
The Wings denounce the religious test
which New Hampshire Democrats maintain,
to the annoyance and injury Of their Catholic
citizens. Does the Union desire us to under
stand that it regards that tost as part of reli-
gion, and that agitation against it is to be set
down as "sectarian appeal ?"

The FreesOil Biography.

The Union OF yesterday says:
We understand that the Wing Central Com
mttee have issued, and are industriously circu.
lating, biography OF General Pierce, purporting
to be the production of the Democratic Committee
and containing such admissions as would establish
the truth of Wing ISLANDERS. We caution our
friends against this Wing life of General Pierce. "
Our contemporary has been misinformed
The Wings have not issued biography OF
General PIERCE. They are satisfied that the
country may be left to judge Of his merits as
set forth in the authorized edition Of the Demo
cratic Committee, or the very amusing 70,
nance of Mr.. HAWTHORNE.
We will repeat, for our neighbours enlighten-
ment, that the Democratic Executive Commit
tee have issued "Life Of General PIERCE
for Northern circulation; and that copy Of
this life having reached North Carolina, has been
found to "contain such admissions as establish
the truth" of Wing charges.
We will repeat, further, that we have q
copy of this document issued by the Demo.
cratic Executive Committee, in which Gene.
raj PIERCE is reported to have said that " the
men who would dissolve the Union did moi
hate or deplore slavery more than he did,
This document, with the printed endorsement
of the Democratic Committee, may be seen al
