RELIGIOUS TEST IN PoLlTcs. In o
speech delivered at Frankfort, Kentucky,
on the 9th ultimo, before an asscmblago
of the " Raoao Nothing Oricr," the Hon,
JoHN j. CRIrTEsnEN, while adyerting to
the general principles and objects of the
order, laid down some qualifications which
are in keeping with the liberality and
manliness Of his character. In reference
to the Catholics he declared that .shc
was utterly hostile to imposing any pen
alties, prescription, or disability upon
any man on account Of his religion. He
knew native Catholics. He knew native
Catholics in Kentucky, in whom, as citi-
zens, or patriots, or soldiers, he had as
full confidence rs in any other men Of
any faith whatever, and for whom he
would vote il they we're before him as
candidates. He felt sure that they
acknowledged no allegiance 70 the Pope
that was superior TO their allegiance to
their country. or equal to it. He would
trust Kentucky blood and Kentucky
principles against all the scductions Of
any foreign Power"

of man to protect her. The Offices Of

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. The beauti-

George S. billiard:
confess that increasing years bring
with them an increasing respect for
those who do not succeed in life, as those
words are commonly used. Heaven is
said to be place for those who have
not succeeded upon earth and it is sure
~ true that celestial graces do not best
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze Of
worldly prosperity. Ill success some-
times arises from superabundance Of
qualities in themselves good--from a
conscience too sensitive, taste too fas-
tidious, self-foFgctfulness too romantic,
modesty too retiring. | will not 20
SO far as to say, with living poet, that
the "world knows nothing Of It's greatest
men, :" but there are forms Of greatness,
or at least excellence, which die and
make no sign !" there are martyrs that
miss the palm, but not the stake; there
are heroes without the laurel, and con-
querors without the triumph"
