The Weather.

Our exchanges, from every part OF the country,
give accounts of the severity of the weather. The
snow storm seems to have extended over the entire
country. In the North it has been so severe, and
the snow has drifted to such an extent as to in
terrupt entirely, in some places, the travel In the
West the storm is undated, though the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere is moderating The Lake
Shore Road is blocked with snow, and the train
which left Cleveland on Monday became disabled
in snow drift some 20 miles out. Five locomo-
tives We're sent out yesterday to clear the track.
The Buffalo City Railroad is also blocked up and no
trains have for several days passed over it.
AT Chicago the cold continues intense. The
thermometer was II degrees below zero yesterday.
AT Frankfort, KY, the thermometer was 16 de-
grees below zero yesterday.
A portion Of the Southern mail was received
yesterday morning A letter from the agent OF
the Associated Press at Columbia, dated January
8, says; The greatest storm of seet ever known in
this region occurred here last night. The rain
froze fast as it fell and to-day everything out OF
doors is cased in ice half an inch thick The trees
have suffered severely, and the streets present the
appearance of vast brush heap The destruc-
ton of fruit trees is immense. ,laf
The telegraph wires have suffered severely, and
it is probable weeks will be consumed in making
repairs, before operations can be resumed. Fully
one-thrd of the line on the Camden railroad is
lying on the ground, and in some cases even the
poles are down. In the country, the falling Of
trees will doubtless cause further injury. Great
damage has also been done to the Southern line by
the recent foundations in lower Georgia In Ala
bama the waters still SO high as to prevent the
necessary repairs being made.
Between this city and New York for week past,
the mails have been very irregular, and great diff
Guilty has been experienced in conveying the pas
sengers.. through. The railroad is SO obstructed
with snow drifts along the route, that train after
train has been compelled to return. Between Bal
timore and Philadelphia, yesterday, several
trains were compelled to put back, and several
stuck fast in snow drifts,

tal election, when Mr. Frelinghuysen was a candi-
date for Vice President with Mr.. Clay, the Catho-
lie Wings refused to vote the ticket, because Mr.
Frelinghuysen was the President of the American
Bible Society?
Mr.. EUSTIS The gentleman speaks about
burning books and especially about the burning of
Bibles. He goes little further back into history
than am willing to do But win ask him one
question ! will ask the honorable gentleman
whether it has ever occurred to him, or whether
he has in his reading of history ever heard of
Catholics being burned, with or without their
books? Laughter.
Mr.. SMITH. Before that had happened, there
had been many Professionals burned by Catholics.
If the gentleman wants to meet me in an argu-
ment, with regard to prescription, very well j
shall always be prepared for him. He ought to
know that the Roman Catholic church has always
been one of prescription. That man who raised
his voice for the freedom of relgous opinion, from
the earliest ages of the power Of the Church, was
a marked man. To the stake with him !" was
the fearful cry" to the Inquisitionl" How can
the honorable gentleman dare TO talk about the
burning of Catholics by Professionals, with the his
tory of the terrible massacres Of Protestants by
Catholics staring him in the facet / will not now
enumerate these dreadful scenes but have no
doubt that FIVE hundred Protestants have been de-
stroyed by the Roman church. for every Catholic
that has fallen By Protestants.
Sir, the feeling of the American party in refer.
ence to the Catholic question, as understand 1t,
resolves itself into the position taken by the gen
teman from New York, Mr.. WHrNEY,l IL is
not religious prescription it is political priv
lege--a political privilege which we, as party,
and which ], as an individual, claim. have the
right to say that will not vote for any wheth-
er on account Of his religion or his politics
And here is another question; Many gentlemen
seem to pride themselves in the suggestion that
this is violation of the constitution that the
constitution requires that "no religious test shall
ever be made as qualification tor Office" ask
any man 70 answer me whether any private citi-
zen, with his mere vote, can, by any possibility,
violate the constitution lay down the broad
principle that private individual, by his vote,
cannot violate the constitution in any possible con-
tngency. Then, why is il violation Of the con-
stitution, when say that viii not vote for man,
whether II be on account Of bic religion or any.

he acknowledges to the Constitution of the United
States and at the proper time, sir, shall give to
gentlemen of this House the fullest the most
thorough, and complete authorities in reference to
the points which / here make; and shall defy
them, not to meet my poor arguments, but to dis
pute the authorities.
Now, cir, as to the position of the gentleman
say III the Louisiana Catholics are not Roman
Catholics, they do not come within the objection
raised by the American party.
Mr.. EUSTB II the gentleman win allow me
to interrupt him, will inform him that the Lou
isiana Catholics are Roman Catholics. Every Cath
ole Is Roman Catholic There is but one de-
nominstien-there is but one word known to that
church, and that is Roman Catholic,
Mr. SMITH. Then my opinion is very distinctly
known TO the gentleman from Louisiana.
But perhaps the gentleman is mistaken. IL is
well known that there are very great and leading
differences OF opinion as to the Pope's temporal
power, between the various orders OF the Roman
Catholic church. l do not think sir. that the
gentleman from Louisiana, Mr.. EusrIs or bis
friends, ought to consider themselves prescribed
by the eighth article Of the American platform.
Here it is:
