whose every nerve thrilled with commendable in

The Life Of Sam Housto,i.--The life of this
distinguished Texan has just been published by J.
G. Derby, Of this city, and is produced in the same
neat and handsome manner which distinguish all
works from Mr.. Derby's press, and is very neatly
Illustrated, which adds much to the interest of the
work. The General led an uncommonly checkered
life in his early days, and In this book are related
incidents Of the most stirring character. Sam
worked for awhile on farm, but becoming dis
gusted with that employment, he ran away from
home and joined the Indians, where he remained
until he was eighteen years of age. About this
time the war between the United States and Great
Britain broke out, when Sam enlisted, and was
soon promoted to a lieutenancy. After the war he
settled at Nashville Tennessee when he elected
to Congress- and aftcrward Governor of the State.
Matters not going on to his liking, he again took
up his residence among the Cherokees, by whose
chief he was adopted as son, and the name given
him Colonel, (the Rover.) After a number of
years spent with the Indians he went to Texas,
from which time his history is familiar to the
people. The book appears at an opportuHe sea-
sale. L. 8.

ing up new aud nobler structure upon the ru-
ms OF that which has been thus toppled down. 1t
will not do for this new party, the great American
party, 70 begin where the old political organiza-
tons arc compelled to leave of Recurrence must
ba had to new principles, and an honester policy
q policy that shall be American, national in Its
scope and purpose; and the men selected to car
~ il out should be. the purest and the ablest OF
the land. We have had enough to do of late years
with small men, tricksters, political jugglers, and
intriguants, occupying places which require the
wisdom Of the statesman rather than the cunning
of the denagogue. The policy which placed and
kept them there was based upon corruption, for
they were useful only as instruments TO carry out
the schemes OF bad men. They were selected only
because, for the sake of the empty honors, or the
omoluments OF official place, they would consent
to be the slaves of the cliques who used them for
selfish and ignoble purposes.
These things should not be permitted TO be so In
tho future. The American party should put for
ward its best, its ablest and purest men. There
are plenty Of such men; plenty whose character
will command the confidence, and whose ability
will secure the respect Of the people; men whose
Integrity can be relied upon, and whose wisdom
will be guarantee that the great interests Of
the State will be safe in their hands. just such
men should be selected for State officers for Sena-
tors, for members of the Legislature, and for the
local Offices Of the counties. Such men are plenty
In the American party, and from such only should
the candidates of that party be taken.
Our opponents look for contention in our ranks
growing out Of old associations and past antago-
nisms. In this they should be mistaken. The
name of Wing should be ignored the name of
Democrat should be ignored; old cohesons should
be broken up; ancient prejudices should be for
gotten, and on the broad platform of principle the
American party should stand as unit; true to
itself, true to onward progress, true to the great
mission Of reform, the necessity for the consumma-
ton of which gave 1t vitality and threw around 1t
the prestige OF power. 1t originated with the ne
cessties of the tines, and its candidates should be
men Of the times; iher should be living men, men
of the age, men whose energy of action links them
to the present, and whose genius will leave its foot
prints upon the future No matter what their past
associations may have been; If they are true men
now, if they have in them the true fire OF the flint,
the stuff that patriots and statesmen are made of
taey are the men We want; the men whom the
eIigencies Of the times require.

The Best Reply to MIR. Chandler.


During the recent session of Congress, Mr..
Joseph r. Chandler, the amiable and accomplished
gentleman who represented Philadelphia in the
national councils, delivered speech In defence Of
Romanism, intended especially to counteract the
notion that that form of religion unfriendly to
Republicansm, and that the Pope claimed any
power 10 interfere in the temporal concerns OF
States and Kingdoms. This speech seems to have
been very skilflly prepared, and to present very
plausible appearance. 1t has been attacked by a
host of assailants in all parts of the country and
in very different ways. Some Of these replies, as
for example that of DR.. Berg, wellknown as an
Ajax in every form of the Roman controversy,
have been exceedingly effective.
But there is one which far surpasses all the rest,
which has been unconsciously made, which every
Protestant will admit to be Of the highest authority,
and which no Romanist will think of questioning
for moment. This has proceeded from no lower
source than his Holiness himself Pic Nino has
overthrow his abcst lay defender in this country
Just while Mr.. Chandler was denying and disprov-
ing that the Pope had or claimed the right to in
terfcre between subjects and their sovereign, be-
tween citizens and their government" the Head
of the hierarchy was prOnouncing or issuing an
alIocution denouncing in the strongest terms the
measure which converted certain ecclesiastical
property in Sardinia to educational purposes, and
expressly declaring said law to be invalid and null.
Couiu interference De more gross anu BihrinSi
The law is legal, formal, constitutional enact
nent confessedly within the province Of the gov
eminent, as such, Yet the Pope, SO far as he can,
annuls It, releases his subjects from the obligation
of obedience and seeksto overthrow qso ad hoe the
government. Suppose Mr.. Putnams bill should
become law here, and the Pope pronounce 1t in
valid the interference would not be more palpable
than it has been with the Court Of Turin. We
submit that Mr.. Chandler has been best refnted by
his friends and all that is needed to expose his
ingenious sophistry, is to cite an extract from the
last "Allocution to the Venerable Consistory" at
Rome.-C Christian InteHigencer.
There is another recent instance Of the di-
rect attempt Of the Pope to exercise temporal
power, and which occurred in 1852 In relation
to the republic Of New Granada The Congress
of that republic had passed sundry laws in re-
lation to education, tythes, &C., which were
displeasing to his Holiness the Pope, and by a
Papal bull issued in 1852, the proceedings of
said Congress were pronounced null and poid.
But the government Of that republic still en-
forced the laws, thus very properly repudiat-
ing his interference. The attempt Of the Pope
however, to exercise temporal power there is
undeniable

Our present object in calling attention to
the disgraceful and corrupt character of the
New York Legislature which elected Governor
Seward to the Senate Of the United States, and
to certain well-known characteristics of that
politician himself is to forewarn the people Of
this country Of the evils which would ensue
from his election to the Presidency. For, if
the scenes to which we allude have been en-
acted under his auspices at Albany, with only
the temptations to corruption which revenue
Of two or three millions offers, what scenes
would not be enacted under the same auspices
at Washington, where the premium for rascal
