~ The st. Josepl's (Nlo.l Gazette gives
n melancholy picture Of the state of things
On the Plains. 1t is thought probable that
nearly or quite all the emigrant trains for
California and Oregon have been plundered,
if not destroyed by the Indians. But one
light mail is all that has been received from
Utah in two monts. The Indians ARE report
I'd to be in great numbers all along tito route,
with the avowed intention Of interrupting
all outwart bound trains, and report says they
have attacked every train that has attempted
to pass, and have murdered tie men, plum
dered their goods, and carried off the women
and children in considerable numbers; II few
have been plundercd only, and suffered to go
and perish by starvation. Tie troops order
cd to the Plains had thus far been of little
or no service to the emigraht trains.

aa-From the Rochester lN.Yl American,

- From the Rochester (N.H.) American,
a conservative paper of very high respectable
ity, we clip the following:
AS OATH AS Is AN OATH.-A recent
number of the Drogheda Argus, an Irish Ro-
man Catholic paper, contains the following
statement in reference to its comtrymen in
the United States =
"'rhe conduct Of too many Of our country
men who have emigraied is any thing but what
il ought 10 have been, aud us necessary
consequence, the well disposed are often con-
founded with the turbulent Bigots find ar
guments in the foolish and lrreligious associ-
ations into which many lrishmen allow them.
selves to be entrapped.'
That journal proceeds to give the fol-
lowing oath which il is assp d that the
Irish Catholics take when joining a Sc
cret Society, existing here as we'll us in Ire
land
81, Patrick MKennan, swear by Saints Pc
ter and Paul, and by the Blessed Virgin Mary
to be always faithful to the society (Ribbon)
TO keep and conceal all its secrets; and its
words of order; to be always ready to execute
the commands ofmy superior officers; and rs
far MS it shall lie in nv power TO extirpate all
the Protest;ints, and walk in their blood to
the knees. May the Virgin Mary and all the
saints help me. To-day, the I'd June, 1858.
Pat M'kennan, from Tydayenetc, county
Monaghan"
The Drogheda paper gives publicity to this
beautiful little obligation in order 10 com
plain that such oaths "rendcr nugatory all
the efforts .! our (Catholic) Clergymen to
combat Know Nothingism."
The American Celt, Roman Catholic or
gan published in New York, says in reference
to the above:
ave would respectfully caution the Irish
editors against giving crcdence to statements
damaging to their countrymen in America; we
have enough to contend against, without
having them quoted in testimony against
US"
Sensible Why will "Irish editors" let
such cats out Of the bag to scratch and bite
the innocent ribbon men" in America, who
have SO much ''to contend against!"

PRoPHEcY MADE HIsToRY.-We find the
following statement in the report Of Hon.
Kenneth Rayner's speech at Washington
City few days ago;
sour late Minister to Spain, Mr.. Barringer,
stated to me, in Baltimore, that the Pope's
Nuncio at the Court of Spain said 10 him,
before the news of the formation of Pierce's
Cabinet reached there, i can tell you one
man that will be in the Cabinet. That will
be Mr.. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, us menu
Der of tho Catholic church, This was evil
dence of bargain with Bishop Hughes. 1t
is against such humiliation that the people
have aroused"
Upon the above, the Fayetteville Observer
remarks -
"This is certainly most remarkable reve-
laton. 1t is from 4 source which cannot be
questioned; and We do not think that Mr..
Rayner's Inference from the fact il at all over
strained. The part which the Roman Cath
oIics have been made to play in elections and
other political movements for u few years
past, led 10 suspicious that they had beer
tampered with in the Presidential election;
and these suspicious appear TO lis to b. con-
lirmed by the fact stated by AIr. Bariinger
The Roman Catholics move together, con-
trolled by the will Of ono man, the head Of
their church in this country, the same Arch
bishop Hughes, whose unscrupuous charac-
ter has been so clearly exposed in the late
controversy with Mr. Brooks. There is no
other denomination in the United States
which moves in Il solid body in elrctions.-
There is no other which is composed mainly
of foreigners. And these are the reasons
why such feeling Of hostility to them has
arisen throughout the United States.

of the human race. And yet many DEMO
cratic papers, among which, the NaShViiie

,.r,;,.r are the most prominent, are inces-
..n,Iv abusing and disappearing the Amer
lean party, because that party is unwilling that
such monsters should have any agency IN the
administration of our public affairs.
They are accused Of disposition to pro-
scribe Foreigners and Catholics on account
Of their religious opinions; and now right at
hand this is pronounced to be positivelysnnd
absolutely untrue, and it is difficult to be-
leye that these men do not khow IL to be so,
and that they do not wifully rclterate their
misrepresentation, in order to promote the
interests OF their party, to which they believe
these Catholics, lnfidels and Anarchists large
" contribute, at the expense Of their eoun-
try's welfare. Now the American party is as
much opposed to the men described in the
article referred to, having any hand In the
direction Of our affairs, us they are to the

lnfidels, Anarchists. worse than heathens--
But, Sirs, We ara opposed to the blood stained
Catholics, not on account oil their religion,
but on account Of their well known policy
and determination, as far as practicable, TO
chain the world to the ear of the Pope, TO
demolish Protestanlism, and with it civil and
religious liberty, and to substitute despotisn,
ignorance vice, extortion, and every abom-
ination, calculated to degrade, impoverish,
ar d injure mankind We are opposed to them,
because, sirs if dead, and you were not Cath
olics. they would throw your carcasses out
to rot upon the dung hill, not atfording you
us descent burial as you would to one OF
your dogs, because they believe you to be
bastards. unless your fathers and mothers
were married by Catholic Priests. We would
prescribe them, Sirs, for the same that you
would not permit gamblers swindlers and
seducers to take up their abode in your
house, when you had reason to believe that
they would bring ruin and disgrace upon
your family And in conclusion, we call up
ON the Chattanooga Advertiser and Nashville

,Y- The Danville Register pays the sub
joined just and high compliment to the fideIi-
ty of the American party upon the question
Of Southern rights:
"But apart from the momentous issues
which 80 evidently separate the American
from this new pSuedo-D Democratic, Foreign
party, for the southern patriot there can be but
one alternative. The path of duty before him
is open, plain and paIpable. No man can now
wink 50 hard rs not to see that the American
organization constitutes the only political
barrier between southern rights and northern
aggression. tits the only political organi
zatiun that has in national cOnclave, openly
repuduted iretsOilism. Ii is the only body
who has dared to stand up, on the soil of
Abolitionism and open y ayow its pro-slavcry
proclivities in the very teeth of northern
fanalicism. Instead of trucking 10 this de-
mon Of Discord, for political effect, as both
the old parties ut the Eor,h were alternately
in the habit Of doing, the American party has
openly repudiated it at the risk of political
disaster. And in doing this, they constructed
II platform of principles broad enough to ac-
commodate every Union-lovng pattiotin the
land; but by far loo narrow, to accommodate
either the Freesoier, Jesuit, Socialist or Dis
unionst. To tie southern patriot then, the
American party has commended itself us no
other party has ever done. 1t has made
sacrifices that no other party has ever made.
Consequently it should be fOstered, cherished,
and Sustained by every true hearted American
within her borders If the south oddly turns
from the support of this party and the north
spits upon lis platform in contempt for its
pro-sIa,ery doctrines, the day is not far dis
taut in the future, when there will BE- other
issues more direct and even more iorciby
thrust upon her consideration. But they will
be issues the result OF which may envelope
this country in the smoke OF conflict that
will shver the golden links of the chain OF
our national union"

FOREIGN ISFfDELS.

1t is most earnestly to be deplored, that so
few who are born in this land, and love Amer
lean traditions, are aware Of the rapid hatred
OF Christianity and its concomitants, yearly
increasing IN our population from the conti-
uent Of Europe. We do not speak of the
convicts aud paupers that are Struggled into
our ports from Genoa, Hamburg and Trieste;
but of the tens OF thousands OF Germans who
from year to year, come from provinces OF
Europe completely pantheized, and with
whom freedom is synonymous with the down
fall of The Kingdom OF the Redeemer. We
called attention some months ago to the fact
that a large number OF Germans who have
come OF late years TO this country, are dlsel,
pies of the Anarchist school OF llelne, accord
ing to whose creed, there can he no true
freedom until Christianity is bloodily abolish.
ed" viz. until a persecution 10y infidels OF
Christians is instituted, with ends similar to
those Of Diocletian or Sapor. We showed
that elections had been made to turn upon
the single point. whether prayer should be
offered in our Legislatures; whether the Lord 5
day should be kept, and religious oaths be
maintained. One OF the most influential
German papers in this city, published slmul-
tancously, articles warning the better class
Of Germans OF whom there are so many in
our city, against encouraging these eXcesses.
Our remarks We're re.published in various
parts Of the United States, and we trusted
that good result misht be produced Since
then, however, another anniversary has re-
Cured Of the birthday of Thomas Paine
and it has filled our hearts with shame to
learn how the natal day Of that enemy Of
God, of his Saviour, and of his country, has
been celebrated.
