We find the fallo wing reported discuss.

facts not generally known. II also shows
very clearly that Know Nothingism OF
Louisiana anu Know Nothingim ofohio
are as dissimilaras day and night
Mr.. EusTIs 3was elected as aud is
Know Nothing. Read. therefore, and
profit the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Mr.. Eustis rose TO personal explin-
s:ion. lie wished to s,ste the position
OF The Ameritan party Of Louisiana on
The subject OF religion The party in
lhatSIate heldit as Cardinal ma Kim,
and he hoped tc'God that il would be
so held in every State I'M the Union,
that religious l,ith was.a question be. E.
tween each iutiyidual aad his God, and
they cons;dered, any altempt TO abridge
or circumscribs religious freedom as IN.
worthy Of our great country as ii was in
violation of the o;ganic law of the land.
In this spirit the American party Of
Louisiana rePpGistsd The ,sighth section
OF the philadelphia, platform. aud he
now repudia;ed ip il to. He cared not
what construction gentlemen might be
pleased, in perfect good faith, 10 nut
upon thatatlicle. They nigh. say tina t
il was imperative, and therefore inofr-
snsiSe, as sgaiSst Americas Catholics;
but the words were there, and theywere
offensive aud insulting to the American
Catholics. He called the attention of
the House to, the construction that
FloufnOy had put upon that article
when he was the American candidate
for governor in Virginia. That gentle.
mau published letter in which he said
he would never sote for Roma Cath.
olic, and he thanked God that be (Flou.
rhoy) was defeated. He ought to have
been defeated. as theEs was enough
in his letter to have defeated ten thou
sand candidates for Governor; and he
hoped that every man who held such
odious, such monstrous doctrines would
ever meet with as deep and as early a.
political grave as did the Hon, Mr.
Fluurnoyua ersg - .fl-a sd .al 4.
He agreed with the genllemS IN from
Mississippi tMr. Belnet,] when he said
that il the S.h article Of the sPhilsdel.
Phia platform did not mean 10 prescribe
Catholics, it meant nothing, The car
dinal principle of the American party.
and the only one which he chose to en-
dorse at present, was none but native
bora Americans should be elevated TO
Office. II lone but native born Ameri-
cans should be elevated to office, all
foreigners. both Catholic and Protest
ant, were excluded, and were excluded
not on account of their religion, bat of
their birth and therefore the only Cath,
olics that remained to be dealt with
the Only catholics who could be con.

wa nted TO see justice done them. lfthe
