She rsb,rns from The third district show tina.
Lindley's majority win probably be about 600.
United, the Benton and Anti Benton vote would
b about 1900 to 1000. This makes the Wing
victory very decided one, and shows that the
benton men did NOT touch Jackson. He might
have expected such . result when he intrigued
himself into the nomination. II was folly TO
suppose that Benton's bilterest enemy could
obtain the vote Of Benton's friends, and IL Jack

Phelps gun was well loaded when they fired at
Benton, but il missed the mark, and kicked the
shooters over, with their heels in the air, and
POwerlsss TO get up again.
A desperate effort will be made 10 send ma.

Neither the wings nor the Antics will vote for
Benton for Senator, but they will find it proper
prccaution to labor zeaOusly Tor their candidates,
fsr benton's strength is increasing.
CATHOLIC RULE
- We consulted Roman Catholic, yesterday
as 10 the meaning Of BrOwnson, when he pro-
claims in this country, through his Review,
with The consent of his Bishop, what amounts TO
this THAT the rusty old Pope at Rome, has a
right TO dictate who shall be our Presidents
Governors, Senators, Representatives, &c., and
that TO him truly belongs the power Of impeach-
ment; or, that to him belongs the power Of de-
posing our rulers. The answer was, that il the
Pope were to land in this country with an inva-
ding army Of hundred thousand men, the Ro-
maa Catholics would be foremost in resistance.
The answer was an evasion, for it contemplated
a contingency improbable enough to be impOssi-
bic. The work is TO be accomplished by the aid
Of power which is in this country mightier far
than gun and swOrd--the majority at the ballot
box an army with priests for captains, majors
and generals, and the Pope in the distance, for
Commander in Chief. We are hencefOrth, &C.
cording to this new political party, just budding
to be governed by foreign power, the Roman
Catholics in this country to be the agents, the
ballot-box the means. The following paragraph
from the Shepherd Of the Valley, published in
St. Louis, and endorsed by the Arch Bishop Of
Saint Louis, shsws that the hope Of the Roman
Catholic leaders is to overturn religious freedom
in this country, by an army of voters:
"If the Catholics ever gain--which they sure.
~ will do, though at distant day--an immense
numerical superiority, Religious Freedom in this
eoaairy Is al an cad"
The following, from BrownsSn's Review,
he leading Catholic paper in this country, shows
that the Catholic voters are not expected TO ACT
Independently, but in submission 10 the will 81
che Pope:
s'In the most Christian States. there i. always
party who never regard the Church As the
Kiaxdom II God, set up TO govern Nates and in.
Aividuals. In ONT times, this is the great truth
70 be iaSistsd on - that the ChUVeh 10 q power
Vni@rsaI and sspTe~e; that the authority of the
CAsreA extends 10 all things concerning which
there can arise GAy question Of right or wrong ;
that il is hers 10 apply the laws Of God - TO
KinTs and States, a. well as 10 individuals. The
Church has right TO pronounce when Prince
has forfeited bic trust and lost his right TO the
sileKiaAce Of HE sabieetS she has the right 10
VSssSunes his sentence, il rests with the tempe
Tai OVdeP 10 carry it eat.
'1'hs opposing power 10 simply the power Of
the News Bossuet denies il, bHt St. George VII
aArms it, and his authority is supposed 10 be
grSsRe4 akan that Of Bossust. Popes have
claimed, have exercised, have never diselaimed
the deposing power, and have always deduced il
from The power of the Keys. Reason shows
too, that Christ, who gave the Keys 10 Peter, to
rule over the Kingdoms Of the world, must have
given him, with them, the right TO use all neces-
Sary means 10 gain this end"
The above sentiments are not worry dangerous,
for. in this country, to publish error is TO kill it.
No.
