The True Doctrine.

The Rev DR.. Nicholas Murray, OF N. j.,
is one Of the most talented and homes, tIeo-
logical writer's in The country-per erhaps in The
world. Under the signature Of "K,rwan" he
has written books, periodicals and articles
which have gained him worldwide repu-
taiion. He is very decided against Calholi-
cism, but feels that trnth and true Christian.
ily have nothing 10 fear in an honest and
open encounter with error. He is on OF
the men who would not be afraid of the
Pope himself, and in a late work says, /" Let
the Irish and continental papists come; we
have room for them all. We would have
no objections TO the coming Of the Pope
himself. Unless he can oul-2rsach US, We
have 10 dread of him and when he does
that Ia truth he ought TO succeed" This is
the true doctrine. II Proiesia nism has vir.
tue in it, discussion will not harm il, aud the
Protestant who is afraid that his creed will
suffer IN the contact with Catholicism, should
al once turn Catholic-or Mahomedan, for
he is no honest Christian.

HARRISBURG, JAN 18th 1855.
Poor Baily,', says every body you meet
now. He evidently sold himself, and has
been cheRied cut of his price. The Came.
ron men and Know.Nolhlngs promised him
the State Tredsurership and have now be-
trayed him 10 his shame. The Know Moth
ing caucus met last evening and the vote
for Treasurer stood for Slifer Al, Thomas j.

waning 10 all politicians of easy consc ence
that the coupe of true principle is the only
safe one. Baily felt sure of As votes, but lei

Again, some fellows whom MIR. Darsic

From the Valley Spirit.
A Scheme 10 Promote Schuylerizins.

For several years past the opponents o
the Democratic party have been clamorou'
for sale Of the Public Works of Psnnsyl
vania, Nothing shor, of that extreme mea
sure, they argued--noisily and with appa
rent sirceriiy-would save the Common
wealth from bankruptcy The proposition
TO sell the Works was kept before the peo
pie so constantly and pressed with SO much
vehemence, that the public mind appeared
finally 10 settle down TO the necessity of sell
ing, as means of restoring quiet, If not ol
rescuing the Commonw eallh's finances from
ruin. The Legislature responded 10 the sen.
timent manufactured by the clamorers, and
the Public Works were offered for sale
But the value of the Works had been go
industriously underrated by those who had
camored londest for their sale, that no one
could be found to bid the minimum pr ice
fixed by the Legislature. The Works, there.
fore, still remain the property of the State.
There has been revolution of the pohi-
cal wheel. The enemies of the Democr a.
cy have acceded to power in ihe State. A
Know Nothing Wing Governor has been
elected, and there is Know Nolhing Wing
majority in the Legislature. In the opinion
I of Of our opponents sale OF the Public
Works is no longer necessary. and therefore
"a change in the management of the Public
EWorks Is required The offices un1er the
Canal Board are held by emocra,s. Ii is
/ Important 10 have them filled With Know
Nothings. THEREFORE The Canal Board must
be abolished, and in its stead we must have
uperinlendent of Public Works, 10 be ap-
pointed BY Know Nothing Governor or
elecled by Know Nothing Tegislature.-
This is the complexion the matter has come
TO at last.
We admit that the Know No,hings have
much to gain by the substitution Of Su-
perintendent for The Canal Board. but we
do moi see what the Commonwealth is TO
gain by it. Ifths wisdom and The energies
Of three men have proved unequal - the

nothing to urge against sale of the Rail

VETO MESSAGE.

question is ably argued, and the document
has received the highest eulogiums from a
portion of the press in deadly hostility TO the

hartors by the general government as open

no question that Congress might appropriate
money properly and cons'ituionally TO GER
lain great ualinlal thoroughfares and mpor.
,ant harbors, in order TO protect our shipping,
but i, is far better in our judgment that even
these should be neglected, than 10 enter into
system Of og.roing, by which every MEM
Der of Congress would ask his appropriation
TO render navigable all the Duck and Owl
creeks in the Country. 1t would take a
mountain Of gold 10 accomplish all these
projects, and worse Than all that corruption
would stalk through lhe land, polluting the
morals OF every section ofthe rerublic. Get

instead Of being confined 10 the limits of
Pennsylvania as now. When we commen.
ced in this state our system Of internal I'M

could not be accomplished without making

pense 10 The people. Members votes were
