over the members of his Church are concerned, ia In
no danger from the American party: he may claim
and exercise over his followers, in the performance
Of his functions as the Head Of his Church, power u
spiritual matters the most supreme, the most abso-
lutte, and we feel assured that that party would not
interfere it would not say to him, Thus far shalt
thou 70, and no farther but should he, unfortunately
for the interests of his Church in this country, pre-
ferring the policy of priestcraft, as it once existed,
to the true spirit of the original Church, arrogate to
himself q power in temporal matters higher than the
Constitution and Law of the United States, we feel
no h~esitancy in saying that not only the order Of
Know-Nothings, but the whole American People,
would resist the dangerous encroachment.
In this age, however, We fear nothing OF this kind.
The true distinction between Church and State is
too well. understood, and the policy Of keeping up
that distinction too universally admitted for even an
attempt to unite them to be made. Z
We did not intend dwelling SO long on this part Of
the subject, for the views here set forth are too COM
mon-place to be urged at any length; but as the
charge is still persisted in for the purpose Of bringing
upon the order the frowns of the citizens of this
State, we have thought proper to say q word more
in relation to it. ~ ~
We will return to the subject, in its connection
with other matters, hereafter. ALrHA.

ARREST OF A SEA CAPTAIN FOR Gross In
HuAASlrY.-The Baltimore Patriot, of Friday
last, says:
us. Marshal, Col. ]. W. Watkins, yesterday ar.
rested Capt. Raines, on the charge of gross maltreat-
ment Of John, alias Thomas White, the cook of the
bark n Hooper," while on a voyage from New
Orleans to Baltimore. He was examined before o..
S. Commissioner, John Hannah, Esq, when il an.
peared by the evidence Of the first mate and Others
that the treatment the cook received was so brutal.
that the poor wretch jumped overheard and drowned
himself to escape further punishment. After he
jumped overheard a boat was got out with two men
and the first mato, who recovered his body and
brought it on board. They tried to restore life, but
could not succeed. They stripped him and found his
back in q shocking condition ; all cut to pieces. HI
was buried at sea. Other witnesses saw the captain
strike the cook over the head till the blood came from
his mouth, nose and ears other sailors were beat and
abused, and the captains conduct represented as
tyrannica! and overbearing. Captain Raines was
held to bail in the sum Of 81, 900 to answer the charge
at the Q. S Court.

.REMGloN.AND 4BoLI1yoN1sa.

The AntiAmerican party rest their hopes
Of j defeat q American principles upon their
Misrepresentation Of our views and feelings
touching these two great principles. That they
really believe the American party unsound on
either, is only on idea-there is no reality in it.
They know full well that there is no truth in
the charge that we saar against Religion and
would prescribe men for particular religious
beliefs as also do they do violence to their
consciences, if they have any, when they charge
us with being Abolitionists, or with having
anything to do whatever with the Abolition;
fanatics Of the North. The American party,
as We have before said, is not sectional, neither
is it made up exclusively Of Wings or Demo-
Gratis, Of Protestants or Catholics, Of Free Soil
ers, or Slave holders, but of good men Of all po-
litical principles, Of all religious beliefs, and
from all portions Of the Union-men who were
born upon our own shores, who appreciate our
institutions, who are capable Of making laws,
who keep i~nviolate the elective franchise, and
who love more and would sooner honor q M
tive American citizen than . foreigner. These
are the people that make the party, that are
abused and stigmatized as dangerous-enemies
to civil and religious liberty. Win you believe
these things, coming from Office holders, dema-
gogues and Office seekers, or will you believe
what we tell you, and what we know to be true ?

DEMocRAT1c CONVENTION At Al
EYANDRLA.

The fourth Monday in June has been fixed
upon as the time, and Alexandria as the place,
for holding a Convention to make a Congress
sional nomination for this District. The idea
originated at Baton Rouge, and the call was
signed by such old fogylD Democratic Senators
and Members Of the Legislature as reside
within this District. Among them was Sena-
tor Martel. .a
We would suggest to the Senator that he
begin to look around at once for delegates
for we think they will be found very scarce in
these parts, unless he takes q few disaffected
and ofice-secking Wings, who will work well
in Democratic traces, or ofice-holding Demo
Gratis. They will serve to swell the number
and make a show at the Convention, which
will in all probability be the last suen they
will cut, as the Democratic party is fast be
coming what the Wing party has already be
'come-dgfunct.
