D0URLE-HEADED HIXDG0ISM.
Hon. Mr.. Slidell, United States Senator
from Louisiana, in replying TO an Invitation 10
be present at a Democratic festival at Baltimore,
thus shows up the inconsistency of Know-Noth-
ingism:
'.Look at Massachusetts, there Abolitonism,
religious persecution and the most CALLING sys-
TEN Of social espionage and desPolsm, under
the garb OF temperance, 60 hand in hand
From the pulpltS, instead of the meek and per-
suasive tones of Christian pastors, inculcaiing
the pure and unPreiendng morality of the Cos
pei, peace on earth and good will towards men,
are hurled the defiant and angry denunciations
OF willy demagogars and excited partsans.-
May God long avert the day when the mon
Strous combination Of tbe politician and the
priest whether Protestant or Catholic, shall fud
favor with the masses of the American people
There the 100 ant-Nebaska preachers THIN
der forth their analhemas against The aboniaa-
ilonS Of the Iewd woman OF Babylon, the type
of the Scarlet Prostitute of Rome But what
say their affiliated lodges in Louisiana. where
Catholics form so large portion Of The consti-
nency? They roar you as gently as sucking
doves There, lorsooth. opposition 10 Calholo-
cism is no part Of The Knolc-.NofhiRg creed
They assert boldly, and attempt 10 prove that
religious prescription is not one of Ibe watch
words of their order. They appeal to their
ticket, and point complacpntIy TO their CotAoHc
candidotes for GoUernor, Lisufeuant GoDerHor,
md Treasurer, as conclusive rriutaton Of the
baspless Slandrr."
Thus, il seems that whilst the Hindoos Of
Massachusetts, appoint boorish committees TO
ransack the apartment in Catholic female semi
narles, and insult tho lady TEACHERS, their 6rcth-
rem of Louisiana select Catholics as their cand-
dates for the highest offices 10 the State and
why because majority of the people Of Lou
Slana are Catholics, and they wish to secure
their votes.-Philadeiphia Argus.
Cutting A HoGsE's TuEoAr-.3lrest of the
-Throqt -Bloody Conflict, and rescue Of
the Prisoner Yesterday afternoon, the atter-
tion of High Constable Scott, Of Allegheny,
was attracted by large crowd on Ro,inson
street, and on making inquiry he learned that
man named Robert Tor ''Ioairr'') Bell, in com
pany with two others, had assaulted wagonrr,
who fled and took refuge in a house: aud that
had vented his malice by cutting the throat OF
the horse with dirk-knir
Officer Scott started in pursuit Of Bell, and
surprised him while sitting on the bank Ut the
Allegheny river, below the outlet of the canal
Bell had his knife open in his right band, and
on recognizing The officer, he sprang to his leet,
and attempted to stab him. Scott ran back
wards until he could draw his mace, when he

down. The blow was so slight that Bell soon
recovered, and made second attack, when a
tremendous blow from the mace brought him
senseess to the ground. The officer then took
the knife, and called upon the citizens 70 aid
him, as he did not wish TO injure the man fur
ther.
The crowd refused 10 assist, and began 10
mutter about the brutality Of the constable
During the bripftime that here elapsed, Bell
again recovered, and though bleeding profusely,
he made a desperate attack upon the officer
with a paving stone, was struck with the mace
and feIled third time On recovering, Bell
agreed to 90 to the lookup peaceabiy, and they
started together but before they had proceeded
the distance of a square, the prisoner attempted
10 escape, and was again knocked down. The
crowd here began to sympathIze with the pris-
onpr, and when the officer started with him, he
was assailed by volIey Of paving stones, none
Of which took effect. H. was then btSet in the
rear, bis arms were held, and the prisoner per-
mitted to run. AT this Iuncture he drew a re-
volver, aad presented il at the breast OF the
ring-leader as he was about hurjng a stone,
when the whte-livered villain screamed most
piteously, 'Oh, for Gods sake don't shoot
don't shoot-we'Il throw no more" But
''snap" went th. pistol the barrel Of which had
slightly turned, so as 10 prevent the hammer
from falling apon the cap. The daS!ardiy whelp,
finding hinSefst alive took to his heels aud
all the rest followed closely on his trail
On turning TO look for the prisoner, the Off
Ger was mortified to find that be had got beyond
his reach.
Bell was seen on the west Common, about
dusk in the evening, covered with blood from
head to foot. He is notorious villain, and
has been for many years. He will, no doubt,
yet be taken, and we hope those who assisted in
his rescue will also meet with merited punish
ment.
The man who owned the horse became 50
terrified On witnessing the aiiray, that he fed, +
and has not yet made known his name. Itis i
thought that the horse will die Pittsburgh
