AN ACT for establishing religious freedom, passed
in the Assembly of Virginia in the beginning OF
the year 1885:
Well aware that Almighty God hath created the
mind free that all attempts TO influence II by tenn
poral punishments or burdens or by civil incapa-
citations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy
and meanness, and are a departure from the plan
Of the Holy Author of our religion, who, being Lord
both OF body and of mind, yet chose not to prop
agate by coercons on either, was in bis almighty
power to do; that the impious presumption of leg
islatures and rulers civil well as ecclesiastical,
who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired
men, have assumed dominion over the faith of
others, setting up their own opinions and modes OF
thinking the only true and infaible, and such
endeavoring to impose them upon others, hath es-
tablished and maintained false religions over the
greatest part Of the world, and through all time
that to compel man 10 furnish contributions of
money for the propagation of opinions which he
dsbeheves, Is sinful and tyranncal that even the
forcing him to support this or that teacher of his
own religious persuasion Is depriying him of the
comfortable liberty Of giving his contributions
to the particular pastor whose morals he would
make his pattern, and whose powers he feels most
persuasive to righteousness and is withdrawing from
the ministry those temporal rewards, which, pro-
ceeding from an appreciation of their personal con-
duct, are an additional Indictment to earnest and
unremittng labors for the instruction Of mankind
that our civil rights have dependence on our re-
gious opinions more than our opinions in physics
or geometry that, therefore, the prescribing Of
any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by
laying upon him an incapacity of being called to
the Offices of trust and emolument, unless he pro-
fess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is
depriving him injuriousy of those privileges and
advantages to which, in common with his fellow
citizens, he has natural right that IL tends also
to corrupt the principles Of the very religion il is
meant to encourage, by bribng, with monopoly
of worldly honors, those who win externally pro-
fess and conform to it that though, indeed, those
are criminal who do not withstand such tempta-
tions, yet neither are those innocent who lay the
bait in their way that to suffer the civil ma
gstrate to intrude his powers into the field of opn
on and to restrain the profession or propagation Of
principles, on the suppostion Of their III tendency,
Is dangerous fallacy, which at once destroys all
religious liberty because he being Of course Judge
Of that tendency, win make his opinions the rule
J Of Judgment, and approve or condemn the sent

Tho Union has received from gentleman in
Philadelphia, copy OF the recent aattck upon
It by the Richmond Examiner, which, until
thus received, 1t declares 1t had never read.
It also asserts that the Examiner, for several
months, has not been read at the Union office,
and remarks that, when such journal as the
Examiner supposes itself to be of sufficient
importance to be even read by Col. Forney,
much less TO be instrumental In influencing
bis course, 1t shows an excess of passion
which too often aff1icts weak minds"
This is decidedly cool. The Union never
reads the Examiner All | indeed Now, we
had supposed that everybody read tho Exam
liner, which il one of the most brilliant and
ably-conducted Democratic journals Of the
South. 1t has certainly abused tho American
party with force and malignity not exceeded
by any journal in Virginia, and is regarded, we
lnoW, by many Of tho Government officials in

Ma. EDIroR: We are much surprised to find our
papers do not come TO hand. | RENTED, by
mail, to you, on the LIST day Of May, eighteen dol
lars for twelve copies Of the weekly american
Organ. Fearing the money may be lost, write
for information. Have you not received its We
are needing the papers badly. We are about TO
make school for Sam at this place, and We have
nothing for his pupils TO read.
N. b. A few copies OF your paper come TO our
Office, and are often misplaced by the way some
numbers lost entirely. What can be the causes
Some think II Is these blamed " Know-N othings"
who throw our papers on the wrong line.
In few days more, 1 will probably want ten
copies more Of your paper, May hear from you
whether our money Is safe or nots
And much oblige, DC,
VEsPAsIAS ELLIS, Esq
We have frequently published letters Of
similar import to the above Our loss from
depredations on tho mail, since the establish
ment of the Organ, six months ago, exceeds
5000. From the above letter, it will also be
seen that our packages, which are strongly put
up and plainly directed, are misplaced, and Of
ten fail to reach their destination. We can
hardly believe it possible that the corrupt
minions Of the Administration, who have pro-
claimed eternal hostility to American princi-
Piles, can be base enough to rob the mail. But
on what other superstition can the frequent and
continued depredations upon letters directed
to this Office be accounted FORT We hear oc-
casionally Of some agent Of the Department
being successful in detecting mail robberies. -
But no notice has ever been taken of the losses
sustained by us. Has it come to this, that the
money Of Protestants is no longer safe in the
mails because the Post Office Department is
controlled by Roman Catholicf We do not
wish to be illberal, but would respectfully in
quire Of the Postmaster General il he can de-
wise no plan whereby we can be secured from
future depredationsf

From the Nashville Banner.


The subJoined letters from Major Donelson speak
for themselves The political sntscedents Of the
writer; his personal and official relations with Gen.
eral jackson; the responsible diplomatic stations
to which he Was called by President Polk; the
large degree Of confidence reposed in him by Presi
dent jackson and President Polk the determined
opposition which he ever avowed TO the doctrines
and schemes Of secessionists and dsunionists, Of
whatever stripe; and his steadfast maintenance Of
the principles Of the Compromise Measures OF 1850,
at a time when his private interests might have
Of the leaders Of the Southern Democratic oppo-
nents of those measures. These considerations all
lend interest to the political relations which Msjor
Donelson, in entire accordance with what he under
stands to be the good old-fdshioned Democracy Of
Jefferson, Madison, and jackson, deems 1t his duty
to hold towards the present Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Tennessee and the present Demo
cratic occupant Of the White House at Wash
ington.
70 tho Editor Of the Republican Banner.
Sir: As several of my acquantances In various
portions of the country have written to me, ex-
pressing wish to know my views respecting the
new school Of Democrats assembled at Nashville o
few weeks ago, do not see that can answer them
more briefly than by asking the publication In your
columns Of the following note to Mr.. Eastman Of
the Union and Anericdn. This gentleman was
known as .fre-eater during the discussions the
Compromise of 1850, and became at once the
favorite Of the new school OF Democrats after It
was ascertained that he had been selected by Mr..
Cneves, the famous disunion orator of South Caro-
ina to print and circulate copies Of his speech in
the Nashville Southern Convention. In that speech
Mr. Cheves boldly advocated the formation Of .
Southern Confederacy, and ridicpled the Constitu-
ton of the United States as . dead carcass. Mr..
Cheves Is still great name IN the estimation of
the fre-sating or li6ustering class Of politicians
who arc scattered In ambush throughout the
country, waiting to see what advantage can be Sc
cured to the project Of seizing Cuba and establish
ing Southern Confederacy, from the treachery
and inbecility of Mr.. Pierce and his Cabinet.
Yours, respectfully,
