WASHINGTON, PA.,l
Dec. 20, 1854. !

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-SENATE.-A
was received from the Pres
idcnt, enclosing the correspondence of Maj.
Gen. Wool, respecting the operations of
the Pacific division of the Army upon that
coast. Laid on the table, and ordered to
be printed.
Mr.. Weller said he would discuss the
subject at some future day.
The County Land Bill was then again
taken up and debated until adjournment.
HOUsE-Mr. Latham, from the Cont
mittee on Public Lanes, reported back a
bill to continue in force for one year from
March Sd next. Acts for adjusting land
claims in California. lie said the Board
of Commissioners have been in session two
years and half, and S13 cases have been
brought before them. Of these they have
acted ON 397-296 have been confirmed,
and 416 yet to be acted on, and unless this
bill shall be passed, they will as conSc-
qucnce be undisposed of, and persons in
terested will have to come to Congress for
relief. Bill passed,
Mr.. Petit, in Committee on the bill for
the relief of settlers on swamp and over
flown lands, being the nominal subject of
debate, made u dashing, argumcntativc,
denunciatory, and slayish speech against
Know Nothingism, looking on their secret
Vaccinations as calculated, if successful,
to break down State rights, and infict a
fatal stab on republican government, and
as a consequence, damaging the social re-
lations.
Mr.. Clingman changed the current of
debate, and delivered a speech in favor of
mediation by this Government between the
bclligcrent Powers of Europe, giving many
reasons why this should be rendered
Mr.. Bayly, chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, said he had reason to
r believe from responsible quarters, that over
lures were made on the part of this Gov
, crnment with regard to this matter, but on
f the whole it was thought advisable for us
: not to interfere with it.
a The House soon after adjourned.

RSpFriond Bailey of the National Era

RSg~Fricnd Bailey of the National Era
has been laboring for some time past to
make the impression on the minds of his
patrons, that the design of the American
move is to favor the institution Of slavery,
Some of the Northern fogies have, with
great avidity, taken hold of this idea as a
real "God-send."
Now, how any man, with the history Of
the last six months fresh in his memory,
can believe such buncumbism, is perfectly
incxplicable. As we'll might he assert
that the object of the move is to find out
the perpetual motion, the philosophers
stone, or the Elixer of life.
Where is the Nebraska man who has
been elected by this organization, either tc
the National OR State Legislature? The
truth is, Br. Bailey happened not to be
the prime leader in this move, and there
fore, he cannot see any redeeming qualities
in it.
Where have the Catholics been fount
on election days, since the organization o
the new party in the various States ?
They have been with Senator Douglas I
Co., and with him they will go into tn
shade. Br. Bailey, then, in order to max
out his case, must turn complete SON
erset and maintain that the present ad
ministration is anti-slavery. Is he prepo
rod for such n result as this?

The Conservative desires to keep things 7
fixed. He would transcribe the Past upon
the Future. As his fathers thought, so
thinks he. As his fathers did, so does he.
He worships the good old way. Like the
vane upon the steeple, he is always found,
pointing dead head against the current
Tmbued with an excessive veneration for
the old, long-tricd, timo-honored, he looks
upon them as the offspring of immaculate
wisdom. 70 assail these is blasphemy; to
question, sacrilcge; to disbclieve, an unpar-
donable sin.
Should any one, whose mind is free from
an excessive veneration of the past, exempt
from the prcjudices of defective educa-
ton, fully imbibcd with the spirit of pro-
gression, and which looks forward to a bet
ter future, discover and advocate new prin-
ciplcs Or truthS-whether physical, politi-
cal or moral-he denOunces him as an in
noyator, disturber of the peace, denies
his new doctrines, and brands them with
the classical, the elegant, the stereotyped
cognomon of "IIumbug"
The history Of the world is replcte with
instances of this. In every age, in every
cline, the ignorant, the bigotcd, the super
stitious have waged perpetual hostility
against the attempts Of improvement Of
those who move as
"The eternal steps of Progress beats,
To the great anthem, calm and slow, which
God repeats"
Thus a perpetual conflict between truth
and error, light and darkness, Gberality and
bigotry, has been maintained. A conflict
which has called into action the energies
of the greatest minds, which has rouseC
the martial prowess of every age, and of
tcntimes, drenched the earth in blood.
No truth has ever been established with
out great opposition. Its growth has eve
been amid storms and persecution.

Steubenville and Indiana Railroad.

The stockholders of this road, at their
annual meeting, this week, have reelected
the old Board of Directors, with the ex-
ception of one Or two gentlemen, whose
other engagements required them to de-
cline a reelection. In few days we eX-
poet to take trip to Newark, on the oc-
casion of the opening of the road to that
point. This completion of the original
undertaking Of the Company, places our
people in direct communication by rail
with Columbus and Cincinnati, and gives
us connexion with all the important Wcs-
tern Railroads. The Directory of the
Company, and their energetic chief officer,
arc entitled to the highest praise for their
past devotion to the interests Of the Com
pany, and We congratulate them upon the
near completion Of this enterprize.

Surely, neither civil or religious tyranny
can be expected to bofriend it.
Another point to which Iwish to invite
attention is, that the grand reason for the
celibacy or single life of the Clergy, is the
policy of the Popedom. Marriage would
connect men with the Government under
which they live. "The man who has
wife and children, is bound by conjugal
and paternal attachment to his country;
and feels the warmcst glow of parental
love mingled with the fame OF patriotism"
His interests and affections become local
lied, ESQ to speak, and this interferes
with the aggrandizement of the Roman
hierarchy, which demands all the energies
of its votaries, and the absence of patriotic
feeling. This, together with the oath of
every Popish ecclcsiastic, to obey blindly
the Pope as the vicar Of Christ and vice
gercnt of God, accounts for the fact, that
among the hundreds of Priests and Bish-
ops in our country, there are few, if any,
that take the oath of a citizen. In view
of these remarkable facts of history above
cited, is it not singular that any one should
claim for the Roman Papacy the spirit of
political tolerance? Its genius for des-
potism temporarily, has been displayed
within few years upon the thcoter of Eu-
rope. The people of Italy, oppressed with
spiritual and temporal bondage of the Pa
pacy, rose to assert their liberty. The
Pope fought them, until alarmed at the
formidable array of incipient freemen, the
pretended successors of St. Peter fled like
some of his predecessors, from the 'holy
city," to escape destruction. Assisted by
the French soldiery, he returned to the
Vatican, to keep under control the Italian
people, who long for liberty. The people
who live under the Papal tyrant are watch
ed by hordes of Priests, with unresting
vigilance. These clerical lazaroni spread
around them not only the minions of pros
titution, but also the terror of the civil alb
solutism of the oman of sin" They in
cessantly lie in wait for blood, as well as
for victims of their impudicity. The Pope
prohibits the reading of the Holy Bible
within his domnions. He prevents the
establishment of Protestant chapcls, even
for the American citizens to worship their
God. lie places his foot upon liberty, as
> one of his predecessors did upon the neck
. of Protestant King. He does not even
permit American citizens the burial of
y their dead within his dominions, according
. to the rites of the Protestant religion.

For Tho True American.
The Pope claims Temporal Power.

Yes. and where he can, exercises it too.
Politicians of . certain class, and svco-
plants Of a religious type, have been OF
late attempting to vindicate the Pope and
Popery, from any principles hostile to our
government. They admit his monstrous
assumption of Supreme power over the
church of Rome, and the faith of men
but deny that he usurps sovereignty over
Kings, Princes, States, Kingdoms, or
Commonwealth. The Pope once had M
mensc power in Europe, The superstition
of Rome gave him control over the
minds of men, that he does not now pos
sess. He could awe into silence and sub
mission, the ignorant and superstitious
Kings and Clergy, with frown. But
jealousy arose in the bosom of the Holy
Catholic Church, and factions strong and
influential, sprang up, even on the ques-
ton of the Popc'S Supremacy -Four dlt-
fcrent factions exist, as follows: lst TIIE
FRENCH School maintain that the Pope
has only presidency over the church, and
that he is only the first among his equals
2nd. THE ITALIAN School, which holds
the doctrine that the Pope has an un('m'
tied sovereignty. This doctrine was adop'
ted by some Roman councils, many distln
euished theologians, and by the JEsuITs
who. since the reformation, have been the
greatest support of Popcry. 3D. Th'
Transalpinc party hold that the Pope Is
equal to God. This party is also sustained
by the decisions of some Roman councils
, popish theologians, and Popes. 18th, Th'
, fourth party adopt the opinion, that th'
t Pope is superior to God. They advocat
the monstrous blasphemy, that in chang

DEAD, DEAD.

I dreamed that I stood on sunlit hill
By the verge of amystc sea;
Nature was hushed, and the air was still
AS still as the air could be;
A wierd.like influence softly stole
Through the senses and over the soul.
The gorgeous dress of the autumn green
Envoloped the earth around;
And boquets of flowers with fruit between
Her blushing forehead bound,
And the sunbeams fell like flakes Of snow
In crimson tide Ger the vale below.
The broad-arched sky with its azure hue,
Like the dome Of Gothic Pile;
Spanned the hill and the waters blue,
And smiled, as the sky can smile.
And the deep below and the deep above
Imaged the depths of an Infinite love
On that sunlit hill by my side there stood
Que that long had known,
In all the beauty of madcnhood--
A loveable, peerless ono!
Her small white hand in mine was press'd,
And her head reposed on my heaving breast
A light shone forth from her deep blue eyes,
That my soul could not resist;
And moved by kindling sympathies,
Our spirits met and kissd.
Yet her looks went out Ger the mystic sea
With steadfast gaze, as she sang to me:
"There is n sea that forms the verge
And bounds the shore of time,
Whose waters flow with amournful dirgc,
And never ending chime
And there the disembodied souls
OF countless numbers throng, thine
With measured tread, and their steps keep
To the wild seas mournful song,
Dead, dead, is the solemn sound
Which the echoing caves prolong"
Il
DAYS had led as a meteor's glare,
And / stood on that sunlt hill
But winter had breathed on the frosty air.
And my heart was cold and chill,
For the light and love of my soul had gone,
And I gazed on that mystic sea--alone
l gazed on the sea with steadfast gaze,
And by the moaning tide;
secm'd to see that phantom host,
With measured footsteps glide.
And my heart beat time to their muflied trea
And mournfully answered them, dead--dead
Dead, dead In the chambers of thought
Those echoes come and go;
IT'S the peudulums stroke in the glass of tim
Thot points to "long ago" how'
And oh what pleasures, what hopes haV
To the shadowy past since that clock struc
ONE!
Oft and again does that vision rise,
That song smite on my ear;
While n voice that beckons me far away
My spirit seems to hear.
Then my heart grows sad, and long to be
With that solemn throng by the mystic sea
