RELIGIOUS FANATICISM.

The jackson Mss Mercury contains the prospectus of
new paper The Native American and Protestant Advo-
cate which is shortly to appear in that city Its object
its title shows is the diffusion of anti Catholic prnc
pies and the support of acknowledged. In it We find
the following:
The struggle between native Amercanism and the do
miuon of foregnersbetween Popery and
in its infancy 1t must be continued until foreign influence
and Popery shall have crushed democracy and the freedom
of conscience democracy and the right worship God
according to the dictates of the conscience of each
shall be finally secured Luther and his associates
went through fearful struggle to achieve the Reformation
We engaged in the struggle TO continue and
confirm to political and religious liberty. Scarcely re-
posing in the enjoyment Of political and religious
dom, Popery and foreigners have silently gained strength
until those who have Investigated the subject that the
danger must be averted # never"
Commenting the above, the Louisiana Courier says
OF course the paper is to be edited by parsons facts

Boston Crusader is destined sl-born fate we have

THE TEXAS-DEBT BILL.

Considerable socitude is felt in this city and elsewhere
in regard the fate of the bill before the legislature
of Texas for the final settlement according the provis
ions Of late act Of Congress- Of what is commonly called
the "Texas debt The latest information which has
reached this subject is contained in the following
extract Of letter from Austin published in the Galveston
News. The letter bears date Of the l4th instant:
The debt bill continues be the great question: and il
fine field for Buncombe. The talent of the is
being brought bear the subject and is difficult to say
which side the balance viii lean Yesterday Mr. Pollock,
of Nacogdoches made strong speech in favor Of the BILL and
this morning Mr. Poag, Of Panoa made speech against it,
Then followed Jack Davis Of Smith, in strong and bold
speech in its favor Mr. Green followed Davis in opposition
and made good talk he always does have heard
all the speeches the question: but from merely what
up in few words the opponents of the
Feeble in regard TO the instructions which presumed
have been given by the popular vote Their other points
are that the bill improperly and dsrespcctuly takes
the hands OF Texas the settlement Of her public debt that
does not do justice to the creditors and that it does
do justice to Texas because the does the
claim for Indian spoiaon by the Texas dele
cation in Congress- and from which the United States
qures by the Of the bill DO relieved stated
letter, the vote is doubtful and do believe
the discussion win produce any effect the minds of the
MEMBERS 1t appears they have already decided which
way they will vote and all the logic in Chrstendom

THE COURT OF CLAIMS.

The Boston Post Of the 9th inst contains the following
handsome compliment to the Court Of Claims:
The Washington Union of tho 21st instant contains the
opinion Of the Court OF Claims by Chief Justice
Gilchrist in the Of Samuel p Todd the United
States The raises the important question whether
there is any law usage which authorizes the Court
Claims to decide whether not the United States
bound pay interest in any where debt found
due claimant which determined in the negative This
the first elaborate opinion read by the chief Justice
the organization Of the court and he has brought
sderaon of the question involved therein both learning
wisdom. The opinion Of Judge Gchrist Is the
plee exposition Of the question OF the payment
in its relation to the federal which has
the public notice.
cit is for congraulaon that the Court Of Claims
may be considered no longer experiment. The high
character of the judges selected by President Pierce the
tellgence and integrity Of the government solicitor the
in which business has been transacted have given
the court standing in the country which fail to
make the tribunal both permanent and useful"

To this the Secretary of State replied by letter Of the
2lst instant stating that the President does not yet see
cause establish diplomatic intercourse with the persons
claiming at this time to political power IN the
State Of Nicaragua and that for sufficient reasons as
signed he does not at present deem proper 70 receive
