Daring RobberY--Arrest of the Robber.
Big Foor PRA1R1r Sent ~ "a.

BIG Foor PRAIRIE, Sept. 10, 1855.
4NcsSrs. Ed'tors:--A daring robbery was
perpetrated yesterday in the town of Che
mung, Nc Henry CO., H., about miles
from the Wisconsin line.
A Mr.. Cox, recently from the east, was
known to possess some money, with which
he intended purchasing land. William
McLane, an Irishman, residing near by,
knew this fact, and was also aware that he
carried his money in bclt around his per-
son. Sending him an invitation to call at
his house on Sunday afternoon, he con.
cealed himself behind a screen of bushes
prepared for the purpose, beside the road
hisvictim must pass, knocked him down with
club, pounded him most barbarouslv, and
left him for dead, after robbing him of S377.
so, all he possessed. Mclean was prompt
ly arrested and examined before R. A. HUGH
inson, Esq. this day (Monday), was fully
recognized by Mr.. Cox as the robber, and
committed for trial McLane was extreme
ly obstinate, sullen, and refused to reveal
the place of the concealment of the money.
A little resolutc conduct on the part of the
citizens, overcame his stubbornncss, he con-
fessed the robbery and accompanied by
guard of officers, disclosed his hiding place,
where the whole of the money was found,
and restored to the owner.
Mr.. Cox is severely Injured, but will pro-
badly recover. In haste,
SR.
p. s. Before McLane would reveal the
hiding place of the money, arope was pro-
cured and drawn tightly around his neck,
he still remained obstinate, aud protested
his innocence. Several repeated applica-
tons of the cord, drawn by strong hands,
convinced the old sinner that they were not
to be trifed with, he confessed his guilt,
and discovered the money. S.R.

The Joioe Heth Candidate

The Madison Argus makes a strong point in
favor of old Gen. Smith as candidate for Attor-
ney General, that he has gazed upon the features
of Washington. If Barnum had Gagged the Gen.
eral to supply the place of the deceased Joce
Heth, this fact would properly appear in the lar
gest letters and make one of the most attractive
features of his show-bils; but really, we fail to
see its weight for tile purpose aimed at by the
Argus. On the contrary, it seems to us that a
gentleman who was personally familiar with the
features of Washington, and whose eyes water
now at the bare recollection of it, could hardly be
the young, active, and efficient agent the state
wants for its attorney.

(For the Patriot.)
Catholicism in America.

We see in some of the New York papers
that the Hon. j. r. Chandler Of Pennsylvania
is out in course of Lectures to the youth Of
his State, upon the soul stirring subject Of
Catholic persecution in America. Alas, alas,
when and by whom; we might ask. Dear me,
can't they all vote as their Bishop pleases; and
can't they count their beads, and say hail,
Mary hail Mary? and can't they, if they
choose, sprinkle holy water upon their dead
fricndsg and can't they kiss the big toe of the
Bishop whenever they take a fancy to do it?
And were they not greatly flattered, when
convention of their political friends called up
on Bishop Hughes to endorse their nominees
for Office in New York? and did not the good
Bishop refuse to comply, and didnot those po
lltical friends afterwards buy this reverence to
make the nomination himself, and did he not
do it? But we reckon that the 80, 900 innocent
Huguenots men, women and children, who
were bntchered in France, on the Oath Of Au-
gust, 1862, bartholomew night,) by these
good Catholics, and also the half million Of in
nocent human beings who have been slaugh-
tered in various ways by the Romish inquis-
ton, from time to time, are all little matters
compared with the terrible prosecutions now
going on in this free country against the Cath
olics; oh, horrible! The truth Of the case
stands thus: These pure hearted charitable
christians, the Catholics, in America, who have
been followed here by their hungry priests, to
keep them from getting corrupted by our Ame-
rican institutions, are made to believe that they
are prosecuted because they, (the priests) can
not stop these wicked bible societies, and Sun
day schools, and newspaper presses, and be-
cause they cannot get the Public School fund
divided, and because they can't shut up hcrct-
les in the inquisition as they have been doing
in their own countries. We would advise the
honorable lecturer to go home and read tht
18th and 18th chapters of Revelation and ther
call upon all good Catholics to appoint day
of fasting and prayer to God, if peradventure
he will turn aside the awful judgments therein
threated against that holy mother who il
drunk with the blood Of the martyred saints

Allw want s that the whole affair in this quar-
ter may be settled by the calm, quiet action ofpop-

be imagined that some unfair means has been re-

Cuba.

The purchase Of Cuba by the United States is
again being agitated by many Of our exchanges.
1t is said the Spanish government oppressed as it
is with debts Of enormous magnitude, entertains
more favorable view Of the project now, than for.
merly and that two hundred millions Of dollars is the
probable amount which will be demanded as the
purchase price.
The advantages which our country would derive
from the acquisition of this Island manifold Its
soil is very FERTILE the climate saubrious and the
productions excellentand reared in great abundance
Besides the possession Of Cuba as military de-
pot, is matter Of fimmense Importance to the Uni
ted States. Its locality has given to it the name Of
the key of the Gulf of Mexico, and the power hold
ing possession of the Island, would rule-sovereign
of this most important part Of the western waters
In the hands OF our countrymen, we would have
nothing to fear from an enemy in the Gulf, but in
those Of powerful enemy its position us military
depot, must be very annoying to all the southern
coast Of the United States.
All these considerations render its possession, of
immense Importance to our country, but whether
we would derive any equivalent for the enormous
sum Of two hundred millions of dollars, is matter
worthy OF investigation by our statesmen and peo-
pic.
II the purchase is effected, and the Island annex
ed, it must come into the Union with all its present
population which cannot be desirable element of
popular sovereignty in our Republic. The people
are ignoaant, debased, and are utterly incapable Of
self government. They will when engrafted into
our confederacy hold their rights in the property
purchase price ofthe Island for the privilege gov
eruing It. I. may well be doubted whether We ever
will be able to realize benefits directly from the
QUESTION equal to this amount. The Island would
be worth much more to our country, if there was
not man on it.
One great principle Of our government, one that
lies at the basis Of our political system is that gov
eminent should be administered for the benefit Of
the governed and not for the benefit Of the rulers
a. is the case in Dcspotism. The people of Cuba,
governed on this principle how is it that our coun.
trymen cap expect to be remunerated or be rem.
bursed in the sum they would pay for this Island!
The people Of the United States will be taxed ad
dtionally to provide the sum to be paid yet, hun.
drcds and thousands thus contributing will nev
er receive siage iota's benefit from the acquis
tion of Cuba The principal advantage will be re
ccived by the Cubans themselves, and they in case
the purchase is made should be made to assume tn,
payment Of the purchase price. The sum paid BY
our country, will only be ransom of the people o
Cuba from oppression and surely they are the pro
per ones to discharge the debt.

EXTENSIVE PARTY VIRULENCH Is AMONG on
NATIONAL SINs.-The manner in which polii
cal parties, and political candidates, and polii
cal editors often treat each other when impot
tant elections are pending, is iniquitous and
painful in the extreme. Each accuses the oth
er of unmixed and execrablc baseness; Of us
dermining the constitution and plotting the ru
in Of the country; Of being vile and false and
unscrupulous, and only anxious for the spoil
of Office. One of the most serious results 81
this bitterness is a corruption of the press that
is fearfully fagitious and demoralzing. b
times Of high political excitement it is almos
impossible to gain relible information from th
public party Gazettes. By party prejudn
and rage facts are denied and discolored; trut !
is distorted or ignored; the fair and hard-ean
ed regulations of men are covered with obk
guy and no means, however unworthy, an
spared if they will serve favorite purpose and
elect favorite candidate. An honest man
does not confide in what he reads. As if The
tongue, that "world of iniquity,' could notcf
culate deceptive and scandalous assertions With
adequate celebrity, men have taught the ra
and ink to lie; by abuse of the most unpanl
leled atrocity, they have made that powefd
engine, the press, vehicle Of falsehood. AM
yet despite Of all they say and print to thscer
trary, there is not the slightest evidence %
prove that there may not be among all polu'
cal parties, and even among the leaders, Uns
good men and true, who honestly aim at thsr
country's welfare some with pure intention
and right principles, and sterling patriotism
