RELIGIOUS lNToLERANcE-The New York

Persecution for opinions sake, especially
In religions matters, has always helped to
propagate the tenets which it was designed to
suppress. In some parts of the country know
nothingism has become little else than a par
iisan array against Romanism-proscriptiv
and intoerant. As consequence, we see
sympathy spruging up In behalf of the class
thus injured in the very quarter where it would
have been least expected. This is shown BY
recent occurrences in Massachusetts

COMMODORE McCAuLEY's INSTRUCTIONS
The Washington Star, in speaking of the re
lations existing between Spain and the govern

So they have sent Com. McCauley down
civilly to notify Concha that his present course
with reference TO Americans and American
vessels, if perseTered in, must insure war, and
to urge on him that, if he values peace with
the UnitedStates, he must cease such practices
as must be resisted By force Of arms by this
government, at all hazards. And further, to
assure him that he may dismiss all fears of the
successful departure of fllibustering expedi-
tons so long as Franklin Pierce remains in
the Presidency. We take it for granted
further, that Commodore McCauley has orders
after having delivered the message, the sub

IT. -As,enIUAN TARTY.-lhe American
Organ, the Know Nothing paper at Washing
ton. thus defines the position of the American
party on the slavery question:
g Those, therefore, who would seek TO
make the American party, either a pro-slavery
or an anti-slavery party, desire to make it a
sectional party, in It's views and objects, and
those who thus desire 10 create sectional divis-
ions. desire to Dissolve our now glorious Union.
If the south will not recognize an anti-slavery
man as qualified to assist in ridding our coun-
try OF the evils of toreignism, Romanism, and
demagogusm, it follows that she must stand
alone in this reformation and il the north
will not recognize pro-slavery man as thus
fit to aid in this movement, then the north will
stand alone in the effort TO remedy these evils,
and in eithsr event il becomes sectional, and
not nGti0nGl movement"

whatever cause they may have originated and no

If you have contractedthe terrible disease which,
when once seated in the system will surely go down
from one generation to another, undermining the
constitution and sapping the very vital fluids oflife,
do not trust yourself in the hands Of quacks, who
start up every day and fill the papers with false

those not acquainted with thertrcks. Iou cannot
be too careful in the selection Of remedy in these
cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent phy ysiciaus the greatest remedy ever
known. 1t is medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihilates every particle Of the
rank and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease {:
and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up the
disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, broughton by self-abuse,
tterri5 e disease which has brought thousands
of the human to untmely graves, thus blasting
the brilliant hopes Of parents, and blghngin in the

The silence of the preacher and
