The Albany Register, in astrong article urging
manifold objections to the recollection Of Mr.. Sew
ard to the United States Senate, uses the fol-
lowing, with other arguments, to wit:
"But there are other considerations which
should deter the actual majority Of the House Of
Assembly and Of the Senate from rendering him
their support. OF an the public men Of this Stste,
ne has done most to organize into distinct body
the foreign Catholic vote. He has psndered more
than any other man to the foreign elements that
have done 20 much mischief and exercised 30
strong an influence over the politics and the policy
Of the country. No man need be told that nc has
used these elements as a sort Of body-guard 70
promote his own fortunes, and hunt down hun
drcds and thousands Of true American men who
stood in the way Of his ambition"
How any member Of tho New York Assembly,
who claims to be an american, can support Mr..
Seward, we are at a loss TO understand. That
men who hate the Union, and desire TO over
throw 1t, by means Of their traitorous z higAsr
low" doctrines, should seek to rc-elect Mr..
Seward, is readily understood.
We hope and trust therc are enough con
ssrvatipe men in tho New York Assembly to
defeat him. tstt 4 N

"The Organ reveals the terrible fact that all

counting for Its limited circulation "-Boston atlas
Yes, Mr.. Atlas, it was ".fact' which we
revealed, when we said, that in Pennsylvania,
"all the most important post offices are filed
with spies Of the Pope" But it was not a
"fact" which you stated, when you attributed
to us the adoption of this method Of accounting
for a limited circulation"
We prefer to reveal fa<fs," and you seem
to prefer to state untruths, in place Of facts. v
When press asserts what II docs not know,
and about which it has no means Of acquiring
correct information, as the Atlas has done with
regard TO our circulation" in the above para
graph, 1t has emily one step more to take, and
that a short one, to earn the title Of menda-
cious sheet
II, at the end Of as many months from the
publication Of our first number, as the Atlas
has existed years, that press viii now pledge
itself to compare with ours, its lists Of actual
subscribers, and ours be not the largest, we
will agree TO give him one hundred reams Of
paper on condition that the Atlas win give us

have, beyond the number 10 shall then have

win further agree to give that press one hun

cate to trumpet our success, but we must rcpel

One Week Later from Europe.

The American mail steamer Atlantic arrived at
New York Sunday evening" with weeks later IN
teIligence from Europe, the dates from Liverpool
being TO the 18th ultimo.
At Liverpool cotton had declined an eighth Of a
penny per pound -four had advanced one shilling
per barrel corn was unchanged; and consols clos
ed at Q 5-S a 90.
The British Parliament was convened In special
session on the 18th ultimo The Queens speech is
occupied altogether with the war question, with
the exception Of one paragraph, in which she re-
fers to the conclusion g Treaty with the United
Ststes lin all probability the Reciprocity Treaty.
"by which subjects Of long and difficult discussion
have been equitably adjusted"
The speech speaks with admiration and graft
tude Of the conduct Of the British army in the
Crmea, and in high praise Of the effective co-ope
ration Of the French. The necessity of sending
reinforccmcnts TO the scat Of war Is urgently pre-
sented.
A bill bad been read second time in the House
Of Lords to enlist German and Swiss Legion,
and in the House Of Commons bill had been in
troduced and received two readings, to send the
militia regiments abroad 10 the colonies and ON
other garrison duty.
The thanks of Parliament had been voted TO the
army and navy for their bravery in the East
Nothing is yet said Of a national loan. The Par
lament was not expected TO continue in session
longer than was necessary 10 carry out the war
measures Of the government.
A private letter says, that the Publications Of
the late treaty between Great Britain, France, and
Austria, were exchanged at Vienna on the 14th
ultimo, and that If the negotiations now pending
do not lead to peace Russia win call into the field
as early ne possible an army OF q million Of men.
The dates from Sebastopol are TO the 4th Of De-
ccmber There had been heavy rains the
trenches we're filed with water; the roads were
impossible; and In this condition Of things nothing
could be done. The Russian General 0stensacken
had arrived TO take command Of Gen. Dannenbergs
division. 0mer Pacha was at Varna, embarking
nineteen bsttalions Of Turks for the Crimea.

The following characteristic sentiments and
statements, are taken from the Washington
Union Of the 31st ultimo, on which we make
separate comments, to wit:
Acknowledgement is the chimera Of day, too
monstrous to last"
Comment. 1t is the opposite Of dcmagogu-
ism, and the antagonist Of foreignism, and will
demolish both these destructive elements.
at is only an organization for power, with no
principles which 1t dares to avow.'
Comment: 1t is an organization created for
the destruction Of foreign influence, and to
thwart the Vaccinations Of the Papal p0soer Of
Rome, and its principles have been proclaimed
openly and published to the world, and have
caused political hucksters to tremble daily, in
tho federal city.
But 80 far as 1t tends to weaken the power OF
the National Democracy is what men gen
orally mean when they talk Of breaking up the old
partiesjust so far it plays into the hands Of the
abolitioniss and contributes TO their desire OF
ducing geographical contest"
Comment Americanism is sustained by the
National Democracy and by National Wing
gerry, but it breaks up the rotten and corrupt
factions of each party, sustaining and being
sustained by the friends Of the Union, and de-
nouncing and destroying all sectional and geo
graphical divisions
eve warn our readers that this is the alterna-
tive to continued and firm support Of the Dem
ocratic party"
Comment 1 We warn cur readers that the
only alternatives now presented to them are to
unite with Americanism, or to sell themselves
to Forneyism.
"We warn our Southern friends especially that
they cannot safely permit their lines to be broken,
or allow this wooden horse Of KNOWN othingism to
be brought within their walls. 1t will be found to
contain armed men, whose first blows will be di-
rected against them and their institutions"
Comment. We warn the North and the
South, the East and the West that the lines
of the old parties have been utterly destroyed
by the antics of the Pierce and Forncy admin
istration, and we warn them that the Pierce
and Forncy party is composed now wholly Of
officeholders, foreigners, and the pimps and
spies Of Josuitism.
"The National Democracy, as the friend Of State
rights and the constitution, deserves by its prn-
ciples and its history, the generous and hearty
support Of every American patriot"
Comment. The Pierce and Forney party, as
the recipients Of the "spoils," and the abettors
Of political corruption, and Of every evil work,
deserved, and have received, in the recent cleo
tons, the condemnation Of all those American
freemcn who have spoken at the polls during
the year 1854; and they viii hear, in the cleo
tons Of 1856, poice coming up from the
depths Of the hearts Of their constituency, in
tones Of sovereign and indignant thunder,

ROMAN CATHOLIC CRUELrY IN CAsADA,-In the
Montreal Witness we find recorded the hcts OF an
attack made ON a French Canadian family by a
band Of men, apparently on account OF their con
version TO the Protestant faith. The statement IL
given by respectable person, and there is no
doubt Of its correctness. We quote from the Wit
ness :--s On the 3lst of 0ctobnr last Mr.. POLLEN,
q colporteur Of the Grand Ligne Mission, entered
the house Of one Louis Poussaint, who is convert
70 Professionalism. In the evening, soon as dusk,
this young man, his father, Andrew Poussaint, and
his mother and sister--an the parties in the house
were seated around the c0lporteur, while he
read the Scriptures, aud while thus engaged, a
party Of rufhanly fellows, with blackened faces, en-
tered the house, armed with short, heavy sticks,
and began to beat and maltreat the inmates in the
most heartless and shocking manner. The old
man, With has been a Protestant long time, and
bears an excellent character, was evidently an OBJ
ject OF especial hatred; his head was sadly cut,
and one or two other blows fell upon different
parts of his body, and he was 80 much hurt ~ 10
be confined to his bed for some time. The young
man also received bad wound on the head, and
all the party were less or more injured No one
here acquainted with the circumstance doubts but
murder was their design, and they were only de-
TERED from their purpose by the young woman
starting of As she said, to get the revolver, and
the dangers arising from the noise and confusion
Of their own rotous conduct; they left the house,
or at least retired from the inner parts and went
outside, where they began throwing stones and
other missiles, by which they broke the windows
and the door, besides keeping the poor people a
long time In extreme torture.--N. Y. Herald
Well, all this is in strict conformity with the
oaths Of the Jesuits and Bishops Of the Roman
Catholic Church. They stsear that they will
"persecute hsretics." They were only perss-
outing these heretics according to their oaths.
Should not man perform his oaths OF
course he should The punishment Of Louis
Poussaint and family for their heresy, is justi-
fed by the Romish doctrines, and such peyse-
cutions win be matters of everyday occur
renee, if we may believe the /" Shepherd Of the
Valley" when the Pope obtains temporal SUI
premacy in these States.
