THE CATHOLIC CLERGy.-The Wash.
ington Star says it has letter from a
"Catholic," calling attention 10 the fact
tina. the name of no Catholic clergyman
or bishop can be found on the memorial
of the New England clergymen; where
upon the Commonwealth remarks:-"Of
course the conservatism of the Catholic
would not permit her clergyman to utter
word. or breathe breath in opposition
to the usurpaiions of power over the right
Of humanity. Blu, when changes of our
organic law were proposed, which would
have restored to the people the power
which Is now unjus,ly monopolized bv
an oligorchy, the Catholic church took
the political field as body, and her ser.
wants declared her mandates from the al
tar, the rostrum, and the press. II is not
because Of the desire of the Catholic
clergy TO confne themselves to their &c.
clesiastical duties, that their names were
not given in remonstrance agains. the
extension of slavery to Nebraska. The
noxous insermeddling OF the Catholic
church in the politics of this country,
late years. and particularly during the
last Presidential election, and in our last
State election, proves this. But it is
not because the Nebraska bill is meas
ure on the side of power and despo,ism
that the Catholic clergy do not raise
their voices against it,"

Bribery.

The Douglas Democrats of Illinoi.
are in terrible confusion, on account o
the opposition TO the Nebraska BILL
Those of Fleepor. have undertaken to
bride the Editor of the Bulletin. Dem
ocra,ic paper of that city. The Edi.o,
says:
"A bride Of foe hundred dollars has
heen offered US, which we spurned; and
then were threatened with being crush
ed and .ulned, which we do no, fear
we say, let it come. We do
not pretend to say that you cannot break
US down-we dom: mean any such thing
but if you can do it, iesit come, and
welcome"
The Wings, Aboli,ionists and Germans
who oppose the bill are on the increase.
A copy of the State Gazette, now before
us. says that the Whigs and .4boktion.
lists are making great noise about the
bill. Well, the Germans are against il,
a large portion OF the Democratic are
against it, and thus we make a very
respectable crowd. New Hampshire
has spoken on our side, certainly, and
she gave Mr.. Pierce some eight thousand
majority; now she marks his Nebraska
scheme, by cutting down that majority
to nothing.

lion, held at Chicago on the 10Th inst,
we take the following statistics, as pub.
lished in the Democratic Press:
The whole number Of places in this
city where liquor is sold, by wholesale
or retail, is about six hundred. In some
places nearly whole squares are occu-
pied as liquor stores, kept by both males
and females. Of this number, two. ffths
are also resor,ed to for gambling. Con-
nected with these are numerous houses
of i'll fame, ten of which are found nearly
together in one section of the city. The
whole number of arrests by the police
for the year 1853 was 2,449. ninety one
per cent. of which were the consequence
of Drunkenness. The capital invested
in the liquor traffic is estimated at Sl.-
100000.
Of the places where liquors are sold.
two hundred and twelve are licensed,
and three hundred and eighly.fve un.
