N3n The following remarks were made by
Mr.. Ludlow, one of the ltssees Of the Saint
Charles Theatre, New Orleans, in announcing
the death of Mr.. Booth to the company:

You all have been acquainted with him for longer

nearly thirty airs and vi IT may have been his

On the memorable MI hit of his last benefit which ouk
place in this the are-ust fortnight ago- witnessed
the performance of SIR d,curd Mortimer and thought
that the following lines fell from his lips with peculiar
emphasis, and most melancholy application to bis
situation:
Sc Perish this frail and feeble frame! this clay,
That, in its dross ike compound doth contain
The minds pure ore and essence! Oh. that mind,
That mind of man! That god-like spring of action .

That wears my vitals now, will move me,

We are near the close Of December and grim
winter is upon RS. To. thosa who are sur
rounded with the comforts Of life, the ap-
proach of winter causes no dread :. and happy
they may be, near their blazing and cheerful
hearths, while the cola winds are bowling
around them. But the poor-ah !. who shall
tell their suffering and anguish How many
may be starving and furnishing, even IN the
midst of an opulent and luxurious city, for the
want of food, fuel, and raiment, and find no
generous hand outstretched to give them sue
cor! How many, toiling on under adversely,
may be deprived Of many of the common ne
cessaries of life, and feel the aggravated sting
of want, although
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long!"
Let US, all, therefore, who may be blessed
with the means, dispense literally our chart
tiesto the suffering poor; let US encourage
the charitable institutions in our midst, whose
especial aim it is to provide for their wants !;
let US visit, if need be, their humble abodes,
and cheer their dropping spirits let US do
this, and we shall feel the consciousness Of
rhaving done what is pleasing in the sight OF
angels and Of men!

Gen. Pierce-The Religious Test.

the repeal Of the article in the New Hampshire
constitution with reference Catholics is all
sponsble for the action Of the people Of New Hampshire
refusing amend it, We observe, however, in
of the Scott journals disposition to make the most Of
this matter, and to excite Catholics against Pierce.
No use, gentlemen, The Catholic voters will

They will suffer appeals to be made them
which single them out from the of the community,
and ask their surages for this because he is friend.
y to the Catholics, against that man. because be is

be not friendly to u.s. The general government
make no law respecting religious The ques-
ton is docs the candidate uphold American princi-
pies Is he free soer radical, interventonist
manifest destiny mani Then will not vote Tor him.
Is he conservative republican Then he is the man.
We dislike to this religious question raised,
it is, both sides And our only object in auding to
il has been TO set the matter before our readers in its
light. Neither the Wing the Democratic party
is friendly to us, Catholics.
" The partizan papers opposed to Pierce now admit
that he did make speech against the odous clause in
the Constitution. But they say that his speech proves
nothing. because he made only one in favor Of New
Hampshire Catholic emancipation, and because while
the Democratic party controlled that State, Gen. Pierce
controlled the party and his influence sufficient to
make any pass. Therefore, they conclude, he
is responsible for the failure Of the amendment.
''Ths would be true enough if Gen. Pierce, the
leader Of the party iu New Hampshire really controlled
its voters But every knows that although the in
uence ol party esder particularly If he be honor
able and talented a Gen. Pierce is great among
his men, yet it is not omnipotent. He can persuade
them TO approve which in general accor-

slightly incidentally dstasteul great number Of
the party But he drive them. a1d he can very
rarely persuade them agree, for moment, course
which quite inconsistent with their habits Of thought

by passion. This is the predicament in which Gen.
Pierce is placed
50 He strove vigorously and honestly, once, but
twice, to amend this stupid clause. And the people
twice refused to amend il. His influence, great with
them generally, here uselessly exerted."

McCarty That convention also adopted resolution,
which in substance affirmed that is woad be for the
interest OF the people to transfer to the Wing party the

not faithfully discharged the trust committed to their

This is an issue about which, apprehend there can
be but little controversy. That the people may the bet

No doubt but the Royal Subjects Of Queen Victoria,

This is what we have always supposed.

We have only to say, that the claiming to be an
American citizen who would drink health and success

want no such votes for Frank Pierce.
