SENATOR BUTLER.-This able democratic Senator from South Carolina, has written let ter denouncing the doctrines of know nothing ism. MT. Butler says:
 My conviction is that the doctrines and ten dencies of know nottingham are not only insult ing to such foreigners as adopt our institutions from choice, and with the honest resolution of rendering implicit obedience to the laws we have proclaimed, but they are in grossly bad faith with the provisions of the constitution, and especially uncalled for by the south. That voluntary associations of individuals should seek to supersede the constitution of our coun- try is degree of arrogant assumption which l cannot contemplate without aversion. What ever may be the fate of the Union, let not our southern honor be furnished by the least vio- lation of the sacred obligations of that revered instrument"

A Negro Killed.

It appears that negro man stole mare from J. H. Burnett, jr., at Glass Village, in Pope county, Ark, on the night of the Sd Sep tember, and on the next day J. H. Burnett, ST. and J. Il. Burnett, jr., and G. w. Hem, pur- sued said negro obout 10 or 12 miles, when they found he had stopped They also stop- ped, and the following night way laid the road on Point Ren0ve creek, in this county, and about 9 o'clock, F. M., the said negro came along ridingJ. H. Burnetts, jr. mare. J. H. Burnett ST., told him to stop; to which he gave no heed, but rode on until he came near where J. H. Burnett ir was standing, who called to him twice to stop He still gave no heed but rush. ed ou when J. H. Burnett, jr., fired at him, and hit him in the abdomen, causing his death the next day, at about II o'clock
 Said negro came from the direction of the western and was going in the direction of the eastern counties. He was of dark complex ion, heavy set round face, short neck, five feet six or seven inches high, about twenty-t three years old, and weighed TO or 18O pounds: had some scars on his back and hips, supposed to have been caused by the whip; had on an old cloth cap, coarse pants, linen bosomed shirt and coarse shoes. He had about twenty five lbs. of provisions in his wallet. He said he was stole about 15 years ago by man named Par nell, who brought him to this country He said his name was Alfred, and that he mostly followed the river, and that he belonged to a man by the name of Nix, in Low county, Ala bama.
 The editors of the different newspapers are requested to publish this so that the owner may know what became of his negro.

and Catholic population of America should suf- fer for deeds over which they had no control. II we wish to put down the Roman Catholic church, we should encourage their migration hther. Here, far removed from priest or priest ridden king, they with no drag chains to crip- pie patriotic aspirations, no letters to restrain the rights of conscience, can see the happy re- suits Of our republican principles and behold the harmonious workings of fourgo government. Hence we make many converts from Catholicism to Professionalism. But if we prosecute them it will only awaken feeling of sympathy in their behalf and men, true men, who do not endorse theirreligion will become their apologists. Per secution often defeats the objects of the perse- cutors, and rebounds to the glory of the perse- cuted. Circumstances make men, hence the circumstance of religious persecution klndled a flame which gave to the world the reformation, and its concomisant blessings. Luther, Calvin, Malanithon, Zuinglus and John Huss, might have lived and died in obscurity if persecution had not have forced them upon the stage of ac- ton.
 But again, know nottingham not only re- stricts Catholics in their religious and political rights, butincludes all foreigners whether Catho- lie or Protestant. The history of ourrevolution
 
 that is gratitude. When we sought foreign aid to enable us to repel the assaults of proud and arrogant England, from whom did we obtain 1t: ''fwas from Catholic France. The sons Of Ire land, Scotland and Poland also Came to ouI rescue, and cold indeed must he that American heart who can forget the names of Lafayette, kosiusco, Pulaski, DeKalk, Montgomery and Hamilton, worthy compeers of the great Wash ington, emphatically a part and parcel of the noble pioneers and apostles of our liberty WitherSpoon, the hero preacher, and foreigner was the founder of Princeton colleage an instltu ton which ranks with Yale or Harvard, and which can boast ol Alumni, who have enrap- tured and enchained many senate chamber dlSntied and adorned many pulpit and judi cial bench of our wide spread and glorious re- public. Visit Philadelphia and we can there be hold a monument of hberahty erected by the munlhcence of Girard, as token of love to the land of his adoption. Go to New York and visit her Astor Ibrary-or our federal city and behold her Smithsonian Institute Do we wish to prescribe such men and their descendants?- But above all, the constitution opposes this new fangled party, and this alone should satisfy every American.
 In concluson would say if the most accom- pished anatomist of our country, for instance ae LIdey, who is called the Curbier of America, could desect this animal called know nothing ism, he could not discover the least particle ot patriotism or true Americanism in its rotten car cass. As for brains and common sense, it is with know nottingham an obsolete idea.
 Very truly yours,
