JUDGE DOUGLAS AND CATHOLI
CISM.

The following very just and spirited, as well
as indignant article, is from the Chicago Dem.
ocratc Press. Il administers wholesome re-
buke to those croakers, who are 80 ready to
connect religion with politics and prescribe
men for their private opinions
ave boast that ours is land Of religious toll
Grafton, and yet we think there is room for i'm
provement in that respect. Whatever may be
the character ofour laws, public opinion IS far
from being tolerant, and SO far as that can con-
troll the actions of man, he is as completely
hedged about with obstacles to "a fee exercise
oil his religious convictions, as though an in
QUESTION sat within the walls of every other
house in the land. A little while ago some an.
onymous correspondent ola New York Journal
stated that a distinguished United States Sena-
tor had given in his adhesion to Popery, in the
city OF Rome. As Judge Don las was then in
Europe, it was suggested that probably he was
the person luded TO. For ourselves we paid
no attention to the matter, not conceiving that
the religious faith Of Judge Douglas was mat
ter over which We had any just supervision -
We doubted the correctness Of the rumor, but
were perfectly willing that Judge Douglas and
every body else should follow out whatever re-
ligious course their convictions Of duty might
their honesty and sincerity
But in this matter we seem 10 stand almost
alone. Our contemporaries are thrown into
the greatest tribulation. Especially are the
whig papers .exercised' in relation 10 the
subject They see in it evidences of "Mr
Douglas demagogueism bid for the P.es.
idency"-" bait to catch Catholic votes. =
and all that. OF course If the report were
true that Judge Douglas had joined the
Catholic Church, it could not be possible tina,
his course had been dictated by any other
| than sinister motives. Such is their conclu.
! sion, and therein perhapss contained very
fair reflex of themselves-of their own homes
| ~ and sincerity. To relieve our anxious CO.
temporaries, however, from further speculation
| about the matter we can inform them that Judge
Douglas has not lined the Catholic Commun-
ion, that the person alluded to by the anony
nous correspondent was Hon. Joseph r. Chan
der, Representative in Congress from Philadel
phia, who was in Rome at the time referred 10
| lie is known to be inclined to Catholicism anc
il is understood that he visited Rome with tho
intention Of being confirmed at head quarters =
We trust to hear no more assumptions as Il
Judge Douglas 'smotives" for the present.

BRIGHAM YOUNG.

There Is I coarse Of severity about Brigham
Young, Governor Of Utah, that well qualities
him 10 be the successor of 10 Smith. He has
lately been discovering course Of dscourses to
his people, from one Of which the following is
an extract:
alf you wish to know what you must do
hereafter, will tell you in a few words: keep
your powder and lead, and your guns in good
order. Go about your work, pillow your fields,
work in your mechanic shops, and be ready at
the moment you are called upon; you can put
the shortest notice. aBe ye also ready for in an
hour you think not behold the thief comes, and
takes away your horse from the stable"
How many complaints have been made to
me By men who have had their horses stolen
from their stables, or out of their corals; or of
cloth being taken from the line /: The reason
why people lose their property ia because they
do not watch it. Have l ever complained OF
any such thing! No! Why. Because l
watch my coral. Do lose anything out of my
barn? No! Because lock il up, and keep
somebody there to watch it. Do l lose any
clothing? Not that know Of. tell my folks
not 10 lcare out their clothing; "Why?" they
ask, sis there any danger of their being stolen.
II il none Of your business; they will not dry
after dark, therefore take them in, and hang
them out again in the morning. That is the
way to live and this is what wish to say TO
you concerning these matters, that your minds
might be at peace. And will be at peace this
summer If you will keep on watching
IL you want 10 know what to do with thief
that you may find stealing, fsay Kill him on
The spot, and never suffer him TO commit an
other iniquity. This is what expect ! shall
do, though never in the days Of my life, have |
hurt : man with the palm OF my hand. never
have hurt any person any other way except
with this unruly member my tongue. Not
wilhstanding this, if 1 caught man stealing
on my premises, should be very apt to send
him straight home,-it is what wish every
man TO do, to put stop TO that abominable
practice in the midst Of this people.
