Governor johnson, or Tennessee,


Governor johnson, in his second inaugural
address avows his iinialtering adherence to the
measures and principles announced and dis
cussed in his first inaugural, delivered before
the Tennessee Legislature two years ago. In
their wisdom and justice, he says, he has
tbeen confirmed byreflection and experience y
and yet if our memory is not at fault, not one
solitary measure proposed by the Governor in
his first inaugural, has as yet been practically
tried, even though the Legislature has been OF
his own political faith. He thinks the Democ-
racy 8 is aroused to sense Of the great danger
that surrounds and threatens our institutions
they are, in their might coming up to tho res
cue, and will save the country and preserve
the constitution" Yet this same Democracy
has reelected Andrew johnson Governor Of
Tennessee, who, two years ago, proclaimed
doctrines directly antagonistic to the constitu-
ton, and who now reiterates and endorses
them as sound and correct" He says, further,
that Christianity and Democracy are most in
accordance with the interests and feelings Of
the mass of the people" Yet the Tennessee
Democracy has reelected him Governor, who,
few years SINCE virtually repudiated the fun
damental principles Of Christianity.
In another portion Of his address he attempts
to instigatc feud between the wealthy and the
poor, by asserting that their interest and prin-
ciplcs are antagonistic; thus hoping to build
up a political party on the basis of wealth,
doubtless intending to place himself at the
head Of the Christian Democracy, with a view
to an elevation to the Presidency. He pro-
claims his !" love and profound respect" for an
aristocracy Of cline and tongue that is,
for the Irish and Dutch; and he should have
added of place and position; for no one has
been a more constant bidder at the auction Of
political position than Governor johnson. He
avows his love and attachment for our institu-
tons; yet there cannot be found, in all Europe
or even among the Rod Republicans and
"Free-loverso Of this country, a man more es-
sentially agrarian in feeling, sentiment habits,
and customs, than the Tennessee Governor.

CHASTITY IN ROMAN CArHoLIc CouNrRIEs.-Facts
and statistics, says the Philadelphia Sun, speak
louder than the best constructed arguments. With
them we now have to deal In Brussels, Roman
Catholic city of Belgium, the number of illegti-
mate births average twenty-five in every one hun
bred. In Popish Munich, the capital Of Bavaria,
they reach forty-eight in every hundred, or nearly
one-half In Vienna, during the year 1849, there
were 1924 births, Of which 1880 were iIlegti-
mate, or considerably more than one-half In
Rome itself, the City Of the Church, the annual
average of births is 1878, out Of which B. l69, or
nearly three-fourths, are exposed foundlings. 1t
appears, therefore, that the nearer we approach
the grand centre Of this religious system, the
greater becomes the amount Of bastardy. These
are statistical facts, whose accuracy cannot be
questioned, or which, If doubted can be proved.
On the contrary, in the Protestant city of Lon
don, with its population Of nearly two and half
millions Of souls the number of illegtmate births
annually, averages but four out of every hundred.
The differences from these facts are as plain as
the facts themselves. The vow Of celibacy taken
by the priesthood Of the Popish Church, does not
practically involve that of chastity, and the exam
tated by its laity. Indulgepces and dispensations
are freely sold and purchased, under which the
seventh commandment is violated with impunity.
Under the very eye Of the Pope himself, its pre-
cepts are the most extensively and unblushing ig-
nored. Well does contemporary ask, If Sodom
and Gomorrah we're wicked, what is Romes If
Babylon the great was the mother Of harlots, what
is Romef If the Papal priesthood be continent,
what was Priapuss If they be chaste, what were
