H-A Catholic paper has the followir Q
candid admission, which is worthy of at
tention:
Religious liberty, in the sense of lib
erty possessed by everyman to choose
his own religion, is one of the most wicked
delusions ever foisted upon this age by the
father of all deceit. The rery name Of I5-
erty-except in the use of a permission todo
certain acts-oagM to be banished from the
domain Of religion. Itisneith-
er more nor less than falsehood No man
has right to choose his own religion.
None but an Atheist can uphold the
principles of religious liberty
Shall therefore fall in with this abominable
delusion? Shall | osterthat'domnale doc
trine, that Socinianism, and Calvinism, and
Angelicanism and judaism, are not every
one of them mortal sins, like murder and ad-
mtery? Shall hold out the hope to my
erring Protestant brother, that | will not
NEEDLE with his creed, if he will not med
die with mine? Shall tempt him to for
get he has no more right to his religious
views than he has to n,y purse, to my house
or my blood. No; Catholicism IS the most
intoieront Of all creeds. tits intolerance its
elf, for it is truth itself. We might as ra-
tionally maintain that sane man has a
right to believe that and does not make
four, as this theory of religious liberty Its
implety is only equalled by its absurdity.'

THE SHIP CANAL AT SAULT STE. MARIE
will be completed next year. The distance
does not exceed one mile, and is almost a
perfect level The locks, of which there
are two-one with rise of 10 feet, and tie
other of l l feet, constitute the great feature
of the whole work, being of an enormous
size, $50 feet long by go feet wide, and re-
quire to be of the very best construction
that engineering science could frame speci-
fications for. The Sault Ste. Marie Canal
Company was incorporated by the legisla-
ture of the State of Michigan at the last
session. They advance all the capital that
may be necessary, and when the work is
completed, according to specifications, they
will become the owners of half million
acres of the public lands, appropriated by
Congress to the State of Michigan for the
construction of the canal. The Company
have the privilege of indicating in advance
the sections which they wish to secure, and
have actually, as the first step, marked ec-
cry unentered section of land in the upper
peninsula of Michigan, good, bad, and in
different, amounting to something less than
two hundred thousand acres. This shows
the extraordinary value which sagacious
men place upon the copper lands of Lake
Superior-WA. UTs.

SLAVES FROM ATTACHMENT

EXEMPTION OF SLAVES FROM ATTACHMENT.
Considerable effort is being male at the
South to exempt slaves from attachment
for dcbt.-Much is said on both sides. 1t
is claimed by those that oppose the meas
ure that many men would turn all their
property into slaves and thus escape the
payment of their just debts. On the other
hand, it is thought that it would be an adj
ditional step towards connecting the slave
with the estate, and that soon, one could
not be separated from the other. a kind
master, even if he lost his property, would
be enabled by this law to prevent
his negroes from being sold. Any meas
ure must be a proper one that will to any
extent prevent the disruption of families
now so common and so cruel in the South

THE RICHEST MINE-The manure appE-
ed to the soil of England, amounts to three
hundred millions of dollars; being more
than thevalue of itswhole foreign commerce,
and yet the grateful soil yields back with
interest all that is thus lavished upon it.
And so it would be here, if We would only
trust the soil with any portion of our capt.
tai. But this we rarely do.-A farmer who
has made any money, spends it not in his
business, but in some other occupation. He
buys more land when he ought to buy more
manure, or he puts out his money in some
joint company to convert sunshine into
moonshine.-Rely upon it, our richest mine
is the barn yard, and whatevertemptation
stocks or shares may offer, the best invest
ment for farmer is live stock and plough
shares.

part we listened to with much attention.
He is, like all Catholic Priests, well educa-
ted, and delivered himself, as we thought,
in rather an eloquent manner. He said
that the day was not far distant in Amer
ca, when the Catholic denomination would
take the sway-that it was Catholic Co
lumbus) who first discovered this country
that it was the Catholics who supplied
Columbus with the funds, DC, in making
the discovery, besides great many other
things which we have not lime to enumer-
ate at present. We understand it is their
intention to build a fine church in Decatur,
and supply it with Priest-Desatur Ga

Gsttin2 Fortunes bY Lottery.

A Pennsylvania paper has taken some
pains for the purpose of showing how
near man may como to drawing a prize
by buying lottery ticket First, The
says) there are upwards of seventy num-
bers used in making out the tickets, and
there are three numbers on each ticket:
now the question is, how many different
tickets can be made? If but ten figures
were used, instead Of seventy, there could
be ISSUED 3.62S 800 tickets, each different
from the other and if twelve figures
were used, instead of seventy, there could
be issued 40 ,000.600 tickets: so a man.
in the first instance, where there are ten
numbers, would stand one chance out of
3,G2S 800 chances, and in the last in
stance, where there are twelve numbers
to change by, he would stand but one
chanceou of 479, 600, GOO, and If the whole
seventy figures be used, and il as many
different tickets were issued AS could be
formed by the Formulation of these num-
bers, it is probable that there would be
enough to more than carpet the whole
territory of the United States. OF course
very few are printed, compared to what
might be printed, yet there is just as good
chance Of the prize to fall to an imprinted
ticket as to a printed one. fit docs so,
as no one can claim the money, it remains
with those making the lottery. There
are, in such a case. thousands Of chances
in favor of the lottery-makers. Again.
if lotteries were fairly conducted there
would be hundreds Of thousands each
month receiving a fortune by the high
prizes alone; and each year there could
be named from one thousand to ten thou.
sand persons thus favored by fortune. In
this we have only been speaking of one
single prize in each lottery, and rs there
are many important ones in each, the
fortunate persons ought greatly TO exceed
ten thousand annually. Yet, how seldom
do you hear that even a 81 900 prize is
drawn! Still all the prizes Of every lot
terry should fall on some one at each draw
ing. Who gets them! Where do tho
favored ones live and how does it hap
pen that their names are not paraded be-
fore the public each weeka 1t is simply
because no one holds ticket entitled to
the prize, and of course the money re-
mains with the maker of the lottery.
