~ We are informed by a gentleman ac-
quainled with the facts that only 20 much of
the 9th section of the English statute Of frauds
was enacted by The late Legislature as pro.
vides thai no person shall be made liable for
the debt, default or miscarriage OF another
except by written contract, or SOME memo
randum signed by the party 10 be charged.
MIR. Price was anxious 10 enact the whole
of The 9Th section, and made a motion 10
tia, effect which was resisted and defeated.
The provisions as 10 contracts relating 10
lands would change our present system which
is settled and known; and would produce
uncertainty and mischief. The requirement
that all parole contracts should be execulable
within a year, is unsuiied to the circumslan-
ces and habits Of our people. For these and
other reasons, urged al the lime, MIR. Prlce's
motion was defeated.
As 10 the provision actually passed it is
one of some value. Following the exact
phraseology of The English statute, il has al
ready undergone Judicial interp relation, and
lis application in almost every conceivable
case is known.
No one ought 10 be liable for anolher's
debt or default except upon clear grounds.
And without such u rule as this statute at.
fords, perjury is unavoidable in a vast mum
Der of cases; and a dangerous co!oring OF ev-
idence, which is as miscellaneous as perjury,
will produce a wrong verdic. in many others.
The cases of Peiriken Us. Badly, (lound in
the reports) Miller Us. Jones, and others tried
in this county that might be named, would
never have been heard of under such a law
as The new one.
Courts have often regretted that such an
ao, was rot in force with US. la The alb
sence of such an act they have attempted
by construction Of the rules OF evidence 10
reach its benefits. Bui, in The meantime,
the law is left uncertain, and judicial legisla-
tion is, at the best, imperfect and unqnes-
tiou able.

Temporal Power Of the pobe.

A general council Of the Catholic Bishops
was recently held at Baltimore, and an ad.
dress issued by them to the Catholic Iai,y. in
which The question Of the civil and spiritual
allegiance of members of their church IL
fully explained. We extract the follow.
ing:
Beloved Brethren of the Laily, we en-.
brace you all wilh parental affection, and On.
treat you to walk cir~cumspeclly, for the days
are evil. You know what manner of pre-.
cepts we have given you in tbs name of,hs
Lord Jesus; for this is the will of God, your
sanctiication. Practise patience, forbear.
ance, charity towards all, 10 the exercise
Of your rights as free citizens, remember
your responsibility to God, and act as free.
men, but not as having liberty as a cloak
for malice, but as the servants of God. Res
peci and obey the constituted authorities,
for all power is from God, and they chat re.
sist, resist The ordinance Of God, and puf.
chase for themselves damnation. To the
General and State Governments you owe Al.
legiance in all that regards the civil order;
the authorities of the Church challenge your
obedience in the things of salvation. We
have no need Of pressing this distinction,
which you fully understand and constantly
observe. You know that we have uniformly
taught YOU, both publicly and privately, to
perform gil the duties of good citizens, and
that WE have never exacted of you as we
ourselves have never made, even 10 the high
est ecclesiastical authority, any engagements
inconsistent with the duties we owe to the
country and lis laws. On every opportune
occasion, we have avowed these principles.
and even in our communications 10 the late
Pontf, we rejected as a calumny the impd.
ta'ion that we were in civil matters subiec,
to his authority. Be not disturbed al the
misstalements Of our tenets which are daily
made, or at the effor; to deprive US of our
civil rights, and Of the confidence and esteem
of our fellow citizens.
Formidable as is the combination for this
purpose, we do not despair thai The justice
and good sense OF the nation will soon dis.
cover The eroundless character Of the suspi-
clan thrown on the fidelity of Catholics,
whose religion teaches them 10 respect and
maintain the established order of society,
under whatsoever form Of government they
may be placed. Breihern, lei the light Of
your example slime before men, that they
may see your good work and glorify your
Father who is IN Heaven. Pray for The con.
version and salvation Of all men, for this 10
the will Of God, who desires tina, all men
may be saved and may come TO the knowl-
edge of the truth.
Given under our hands, in Provincial
Council, at Baltimore, The isth day Of May.
in the year of our Lord 1856.

people that Gen. Wilson, their W United

terms: {
"He had no sy mpathy with that narrow,
bigo.ed, intolerant spirit that would make
war upon a race of men because they hap
pened 10 be born 10 other lands-a dsstardly
spirit that would repel from our shores the
men who sought homes here under our free
institutions, Such a spirit was anti.Amen-
can, devilish; he loalhed it from the bottom
of his heart.o
He further said:
"He regretted 10 say that there were some
members Of The American party in favor of
excluding, by constitutional amendments all
adopted citizens from Office. He deeply de-
plored the action of The Legislature OF Mass
achuselis in proposing an amendment to the
Constitution embodying this doctrine. He
hoped The gentlemen who had given their
votes for this proposition-a proposition that
would moi permit Professor 'Agassiz one of
the first living scientific men Of the age, TO
ill, under State appointment, an office even

ror and retreat al once from a position which
justice, reason and religion cordemned.-
What little Influence he possessed would be
given with a hearty good will to defeat this
proposition"

PORTLAND, June 3.-At 10 O'Clock last night
a noisy mob assembled about the building

ed 10 preserve the peace, but the mob becom-
ing more threatening, two military companies

fred a volley, killing Ephraim Robbins, oi
Eastport, and wounding several others, some
severely. :
A sound Of the Rifle Guard followed up

quietly on his way home, received a severe
bayonet wound during this charge. A few
