SAxrRRs' NEw SERIES or ScHooL READERS.
COPIES of Sanders New Readers have been
handed to US for examination, and have afor-
ded more satisfaction than is usually TO be ex-
pected from the perusal of school books. The
old series have been long IN use, and have
done good service in the cause of popular ed
ucaiion. But fifteen years of experience in
teaching, and an extensive intercourse with
.other teachers, have suggested to the author
many Improvements; and these are now in
troduced into an entirely new. series, which
seems to be one of the most nearly perfect
that have yet appeared. The plan is well
adapted to overcome gradually the many OBJ
stacles to be met with in learning TO read our
language well, and to throw interest around
what is too often duh task.
The selections for reading lessons are well
suited, not only 10 accomplish the chief end
of making good readers. but also to exert an
excellent moral influence, TO impart incidental

AN OPEN LETTER
To VIM. Bigger, Esq, u senator.
DEAR Sir had the honor to receive
under your frank several copies Of Tract
entitled "Injidelity and Abolitioaism an
open Letter to the friends of Religion, Mo-
rality, and the American Union" 1t is
designed apparently to awaken the atten-
tion Of religious people, and especially
Christian ministers,to to the solemnity Of the
issues involved in the coming Presidential
election. Being anonymous, I take it to
be the production Of your own pen, or at
least one for which you make yourself res
ponsibls, and therefore looked to find in it
that truthfulnsss of statement and candor
of discussion which would beft your exal-
ted station.
Before proceeding to the topics directly
presented in your letter, 1 am happy to
observe that you do not share in what
amounts almost to panic with many at
the present time, the horror Of ministers
participating in pelitics. l think you
must in your wide political experience have
witnessed the feeling to which l refer, and
pitied its absurdity. A certain grade OF
political organs seem to regard it little less
than crime for q clergyman to have an
opinion concerning controverted questions
of civil administration, or at any rate, to
try by any means to influence others in
regard to them. They doom us to k'pd

that when there was nothing of more i'm
portance in politics than questions Of tar
ids and sub tresuries, it was not their duty
to luterfere-then politics might be left
entirely with the "Worlds people" But
when Freedom was at stake it became a
duty to let their votes be given in its de-
fence The announcement was received
with great applause.
There is no more pure and blameless
(though singular) sect than the Shakers.

ally do not vote, will this year vote for the
preservation Of Liberty in the Western

Another Rich Fraud.

The Democratic Hero, a Welsh Democra-
tic paper just started aud published in New
York, has been circulated extensively thro'
the mining regions of this State, in Lu-
zerne, Carbon, Schuylkill, and other coun-
ties. This paper, being published in
Welsh, can only be read by that people.
The Hero contains a long editorial, headed
"Will America be governed by Papist?'
In this leader the editor, after attempting
to prove that Mr. Fremont is Catholic,
concludes it BY saying
"Friends let US adopt Mr.. Buchanan,
who has his hands clean from, Rpery and
EnoD Nothingism.
1t is, indeed, a new position for the De-
mocracy to sssume-a new ide1 for them
to advocate the election of a candidate be-
cause he is opposed to Roman Catholicism.
There is no past evidence that either they
or their leader have ever attempted to re-
pudiate Catholicism. Upon the contrary,
they have always warmly defended it, as
is evinced by the appointment, OF Mr..
Campbell to the Post Office department.
the appointment Of Soule, O'Sullivan, and
Belmont (CathOlics) to Spain, POrtuga. and
the Hague.
II, however, the truth be that the Hero
snaaks the sentiments of Mr.. Buchanan IN,
opposition to the Catholics, it is then time
that that. people should know it
The purpose Of the fraud is very evident:
The Welsh are known to be ipveterately
Protestau; in their religious faith and prac-
tees. And if they ascertain the fact that
the whole Catholic strength will be cast
for Buchanan, they will repud;ate him.

Politics and Preachers.

~ In another column will be found
letter from Rev. GEORGE r. BLISS, some
time pastor of O church at New Brunswick
in NewJcrscy, now Greek Professor in the
University at Lewi.burg, Pa. 1t is called
forth by letter from Senator Bigler,
copies of which have been sent by that
functionary to very many if not all
the clergymen in the North, thus invi'
ting them into the political arena,and
laying himself open to the searching
retort which he has received. 1t will
be observed that while the "Pennsyl-
vanian," the leading Democratic press
in PENNSYLVANIA, is edited by Rev.
Theophilus Fisk, a Universalist prea-
cher, and there are ministers OF all
denominations (to say nothing of the
whole corps of Catholic priests and
Mormon elders) who support the Bu-
chanan party, yet that party have,
since the $1,000 ministers" Of New
England demonstrated against the
iniquitous repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, been constantly engaged in
denouncing Ministers of the Gospel
for interfering in politics." and the
abuse heaped upon the heads of those
who labor against the extension of
slavery, has been unsparing. Senator
Bigler's open Letter" is ccnsure
upon those who denouncc ministers in
this respect they have the same inte-
rest in the welfare Of the country, as
other citizens in our land where are
no privileged or prescribed classes
and in some respects they have supe-
rior means for acquiring information

The News from Nicaragua.

Our columns are full Of interesting news this morn
| ing; although the intelligence from Nicaragua is
more absorbing to hundreds of citizens than the
political news from Cincinnati 1t more interesting
to u.s. at all events. AS we have all along predicted,
the regeneratorx under Gen. Walkerhave triumphed-
not enemy treads the soil Of Nicaragua boast
ing and cruel Costa Ricans have retired in disgrace
and the star Of manifest destiny is beaming efhlg
emily upon that gloriously endowed land known and
designated on the maps as Central America Nothing
now prevent the redemption and reunion of that
noble country.
The letter from our Granada correspondent, al
though old, will be found unusually interesting. We
have whole package of letters somewhere, which
will probably reach us in day or two. We shall
lose no time in spreading their contents before the
public. A full and authentic history of the stirring
events that have recently tfanspred in Nicaragua is
contained in them.
The conclusion of our correspondents letter is ex-
tremey significant. "Gen. Walker says our cores
pondentand he is well posted" refuses to receive
propositions Of peace from Costa Rican Well, why
should he? Costa RIGA deserves no mercy at his
hands and is BESIDES sadly in need of the influences
which control the operations of renovation and i'm
provenent. Give Costa RIGA stable and intelligent
government, like that of Nicaragua-we mean the
Riyas-Walker government-and she will advance and
prosper amazingly within few years.
As the avenues to Nicaragua are now unobstructed,
We expect to hear of large emigration in that drec
| ton in few weeks. That-not Kansas-s the
country for Southern men to go to. The wave will
soon begin to roll Northwardly and fifteen years will
witness the realization of great fact now considered
an extrayagant Pigment of imagination.

/ NLr. Buchanan Nominated.

AS will be seen by telegraphic dispatches, Mr..
james Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, was, on the seven
teenth ballot unanimously nominated by the Cincn-
natl Convention as the Democratic candidate for the
next Presidency. This unanimty was brought about
by the withdrawal of the names of Messrs. Douglas
and Pierce.
Mr.. Pierce ran better than we expected, and Mr..
Douglas ran worse, up to the fifteenth ballot, when
Mr.. P. 6 let down and was withdrawn from the
track Whether he tainted OR his horse fell with him
as in Mexico, the telegraph leaves US in the dark.
Buchanan led the race throughout and finally dis
tanced both his competitors.
Although we are without information in the prem
ises, we venture the guess u that the Louisiana
delegation voted for Mr.. Buchanan whenever it was
deemed necessary e..
Mr.. Buchanan is q strong man, but Willard Fillmore
is a stronger man, and will defeat him next No

The official proceedings will we opine, develop,
singular conjunctions and arrangements. The admis
sion of the New York Soft y delegates-alas aboli

was received, wherein it will be seen Mr. Brecken
