We are Protestants generally speaking but you
all know that there presdes at the head of the
Supreme Judicsture OF the United States Roman
Catholic and no man, Isupposa, through the whole
United States, magines that the udicature is less
safe that the administration ofpubic justice is less
respectable or less secure, because the Chief Justice
of the United States has been, and is firm adber

ment of society amongst US
In both houses of Congress, in all public Offices,
we proceed on the idea that mans religious belief

0rrThe Union and american is entirely mistaken
10 saying the True Wing has, in effect maintained
its right to be, and its consistency in being, both
WING and know-nothing organ at one and the same
timel" The True Hhig has done 70 such thing. 1t
has simply asserted its right to advocate, and its
consistency in advocating, the cause of know moth
ingIsm, as vel as that of whigism, in such manner
as 1t may deem appropriate, without being suhjec-
ted to an unauthorized inqaisitiye censorship from
any quarter-7rus Wing.
We cid not use the word "orgsn" in tie sense
which the True Wing supposes We only meant
to say what the True Whig admits that it can con-
sistently advocate both know nothiugism and wing
gerry, at the same time. We used the word cor
gan" in the sense in which the True Hhig uses the
word advocate" We are not sure, however, if
the Tcus Wing, in claiming to have been selected
TO publish the articles of IAN American" has not
really claimed to be an "orgsn" Of know nothing
ism. Yet this is of no consequence. The word
advocate" suits Illustration quite as well as the
word ''organ."

The race affords but little scope for heightened

'SIGYs OF TIE TIMEs."-We intimated yesterday
our belief that crisis is growing up out of the
slavery controversy which will require the united
exertious of all good national men, of all sections
of the Union, to protect the country from eonrul
sion, and perhaps disruption forever. We are no
alarnsts but we deem it due to the timely forma-
ton of well defined and patriotic public senti-
ment upon this question, that conservative men
everywhere should see the tone and purposes with
which northern ant-slavery agitators industri-
oUsly prosecuting their nefarious scheues.-7rae

VIII the True Wing please tell Us if it is not such
declarations as the following, by Mason ". Tap

advocate know nothirgisn, when it bears such
fruits, and such fruits only in all the non-ssve-
holding States? And will it please note that the
New York Tribune calls these remarks pertinent
and timely2" Mr.. Tappan, a brother know-noth-

wisdom and regard for the rights and interests of
the whole people, as to mark new era in the no.
Eticsl history of our State. The movement which
has produced this change, is emphaticslly move
ment OF the people irrespective of party; and while
in the achievement of great victory, all praise
is due to the American party as distinct organi-
cation, it should at the same time be remembered
that it had the sympathy and support of thousands
of good and patriotic men who were not members
of that organization Nor should it be forgotten
that the great outrage perpetrated upon the free
States by the Administration in the passage Of the
Nebraska BILL had much to do in fastening the re-
suit over which we all have 80 much reason to re-
joice Everywhere throughout the canvass the is-
