CATHOLIC INTOLERANCE.

The following cxtrac, was written in
lS45, on board u. ;. Frigate Congress,
i'll the Port of Cellso:
I'VE are lying in the bay Of Roman
Catholic country, where no place of wor-
ship is allowed To Protestant. There
is not q Hall or chapel within the limits
of Peru where they who differ from the
Papel See can assemble on the Sabbath.
RePuted efforts have been made to
obtain permission To erect such place,
but as yet without success. The Arch.
bishop of Lima, who gets his inslruc.
tons from Rome, has set his face g.
gaih8t it. 1t wouid not be amiss for
some Of our Catholic Bishops to come
here and preach up liitle federation

the barren isle Of San Lorcnzo. On
This bleak, heIbloss rock, which is fire.
q1entcd only by peicans aud yullures,
they will find thoograves Of nearly ali
the PrOtestdnts who have died in Peru
for centuries past. Not ono of thUs"
vino lilo here could have procured him
self grave on The mainland. Think
Of that, my dear PapaI brothers in the
United States, kneeIing in your stump.

bells summon from their lofty atecpcs
the faithful 10 prayer. And you talk to
US Protestants about Before
you assail tho bnllot.box again, because
the Bible, without note or comment, is
permitted in DOR public schools, look a.
broad aud see what privileges you cx-
fond to Prutestauts. In those counties
who're your religions and laws ere all
paramount, you do not tolerate tho con-
secration Of the humhlest chapel; and as
fora steepIe and bell, they would not
stand long enough to kneI their own
Tuin. One would think, from your
professions, Pr0iestants must have
perfect Eiysium in your lands. But
some how, it strangely happens that
they arc disqualified from holding any
office Of civil trust; and are denied even
a conaecratcd place of worship. They
are fortunate ifaIIowed tho sanctity or

NEW MACHINERY

have putup and am now using Z. & ]. III
ClaTko's Patent Mill, (patcntod June, lS54,)
which will grind 10 bushels per hour at an ordi-
mary run the whole machinery being comprised
in space of 24 By feet, all within the immo-
aate notice OF the millor,- burr, boiling chest,
and all. The burrs now used are only 36 inch
os. This is a great Improvement on all devices
for the IA anufacturs of Flour hitherto in use g,
and the en- tire machinery can be put up in any
Mill FOR about the expense incurred by getting
a Milwright to repair the old style mills. Mill
ers snd those about to put up Mills, arc invited
to call at Morgantown Mills, and Witness and OK
anime tho operation of Clark's Patent, before
wasting money in putting uo the superiluous APP

I'M WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.

I'M WITH YOU ONCE AGAlN.
by GEORGE p. MORRIS
I'm with you onec again, my fyieus.,
Nomorc my footsteps roam;
Where It began my jlurney ends,
And tho scenes OF home.
No other cline has skies so blue,
Or streams so broad aud clear,
Add where are hearts so warm and true
As those thu. meet me here?
Since last, wiih spirits wild and free,
pressed my native strand,
Eve wandered many miles at sea,
And many miles OH land.
I've seen fair realms of the earth
Ey rude commotion torn,
Which taught me how 10 prize the worth
or that whore was corn.
In other cosntries, when heard
The language Of my own,
How fondly each fomiiar word
Awoke an answering tone?
But when our woodland songs were sung
Upon forcign-msrt,
The VOWS that ialtercd on the tongue,
With Taptare filled the heart
My native land turn to you,
With blessing ond with prayer,
Where man is brave and woman true,
And free as mountain air.
Long may our flag in triumph wave
Against The world combined, ..
And friends welcome-foes grave.
Within our border find.
