american Paper in Boston.

The Boston Ledger comes to us with the Amer
lean ticket at the masthead. Speaking of Fillmore
and Donelson, the Ledger says:
Whether we look at them as Americans of the
American party, or Americans of the great con-
sentative party Of the people, we must give to
them our support as true men, in whom all sec
tons and all parties can have confidence. The
exgencies OF the times demand stern judges and
not heated advocates; demand Fillmeres, not Blu
chanans and Fremonts. We don't want for Presi
dent an attorney for the North nor attorney for
the South. but we want an impartial, calm, cool,
judicious statesman, .who sit as judge and UNI
pire between contending factions and rival Sec
tions. Such man is, in our Judgment Willard
Fillmore and as such we intend to advocate his
claims to the best of ability. His antecedents
are those of free-born national American, with
whom the Constitution is paramount as the rule of
political faith, and his present position in sense
bellies any of his antecedents.
The Ledger is conducted with marked ability,
and we trust will have vide circulation.

Fillmore AM Delaware.

The Delaware Republican, referring to the pros
ent campaign, says: The contest IN this State
viii be between MesSrs. Fillmore and Buchanan.
Fremont cannot receive over four or i've hundred
votes Il his friends persist in forming an electoral
ticket. We trust, however. they viii abandon the
proiecs and unite on the electors Of the American
party. This would render the success Of Fillmore
certain IN this State. Should they, however, per-
sis in showing their strength as they did in ls4s,
We still believe the result might be as satisfactory
10 us as il was in that contest This impression Is
based on the fact that the American majority for
Governor in 1852 was over TOO, which can hardly
be overcome by the detection Of the Free-soilers,
or the friends of any other party or individual =
Willard Fillmore is eminently popular in Sussex,
and we expect that his majority will reach 400 in
that county, 70 over that given,to Gov Causey.-
This may seem high figure, but it is not beyond
that our friends lead us TO look for.
"In Kent we may not do quite 80 well as for
merly, owing TO detection which exists on per-
sonal grounds; but II can hardly control over .
dozen or two votes, and the majority may be pu,
down at fifty at least. In New Castle county the
American majority two years ago was Sol. THU
would make 751 votes for Buchanan and Fremont
to overcome We do not imagine they can do so
Fremont cannot receive over 500 votes, which will
be distributed as follows: $50 in Wilmington, 4C
In Christiana, so In MIL Creek, and so in the bal
ance Of the county. From these figures it will be
seen that the prospect of carrying Delaware is yer,
fair. We know that the friends Of Fremont count
on large vote they did 30 in lS4S, and managed
TO poll only abaut 10 or 80, Of which number VIII
mington gave 81. Taylor carried the State in tina
contest, as Fillmore will certainly carry IL In this.

/ prominent Democratic ofice-holder stated re-
Gently that he never knew the leaders of the Dem
ocratis party to be SO utterly panic-stricken as
they are at present.
Another remarked that the Democrats in many
of the States we're deserving Buchanan, not only
by twos and threes, but by 6fties and hundreds
This is the way the 0stend candidate is running
who, we were told in June, was to carry every
State but two At the North the Democratic forces
are deserving to Fremont, and at the South to Fill
more. The prospect now is that Buchanan win
not be able to carry as many States as Van Blu
rem did in 1910. 81
On the other hand, every day increases the
strength of Fillmore. His glorious speech at AL

Az Important Confession.

The following quotation from the July number
of Brownson's Review merits attention. Ii is vir-
tual concession that the Catholics have given just
offence by their preposterous conduct, aud that
there has been good reason for the formation of
the American party, He tells his Catholic readers
how they have aroused the opposition of native
bern and Protestant Americans, and in telling
them this, intin,ates that they had better change
their policy and behave differently. We copy hi1
testimony as evidence on this point, which no
Catholic can dispute. He says
q In the parts of the country where the preju.
dices against Catholicty are the strongest it has
seemed to be Celtic rather than Catholic; and
Americans have felt that to become Catholics they
must become Ceits and make common cause with
every class of Irish agitators, who treat Catholic
America a. If it were province of Ireland. A con-
siderable portion of our Catholic population have
brought with them their old prejudices of race,
national animosities and bitter passions, and makes
our country the arena for fighting out theiY old he
reditary feuds. Our so-caled Catholic Journals are
little else than Irish newspapers and appeal rather
to Irish than to Catholic interests and sympathies
Some of them TEEN with abuse OF Americans, and
are filed with diatrbes against the race from
which the majority of non-Catholic Americans
claim to have sprung
" Inelr Tone anu teiHPcr Ho fVsciSA, anu tHeir
whole tendency is to make al American feel that,
practically, the church in this country is the church
Of foreign colony, and by no means Catholic.
All this may be very natural, and very easily ex-
planned to the Catholic who is willing to pardon
almost anything to people that has stood firm by
the faith during three centuries Of martyrdom, but
every one must sec that it is far better fitted to
repel Americans from the church, than to attract
them to it; especially when they find the foreign
ism which offends them defended by portion of
the clergy. and apparently opposed By pone; and
carried even into politics, and made or attempted
to be made, the turning point in our elections"

E We stated yesterday, on what we es-
ieemed good authority, that the Church Of
the parish Of Epiphany was the 'Puseyitc or
High Church branch Of the Episcopalian order"
A friend informed US last night that we had
been naisinformed on this point 1t was not
our fault Our informant Was considered good
authority for the statement We know nothing
personally of the peculiar notions of the Rev.
Mr.. French, or of his congregation, and trust
they will not for moment credit the idea that
we would misrepresent them, or anybody else.
And If it Jeof the Pusexite or High Church
order, we suppose there is no reflection cast
upon that order, by the mere statement Of the
fact We hope, and would fain believe, that
whatever may be the sentiments or belief of
the pastor of that, or Of any other church, they
are not ashamed Of their creed, practices or
professions Assuredly we have said nothing,
and shall say nothing, pu,posely to wound the
sensibilitiessof any class Of religionists. We
only make opposition to the political tenden-
ces of Popery. We care nothing about its
forms, ceremonies, and paraphernalia.
Is any man offended who belongs to the
High or Ptssyite h,anch of the Episcopal
Church, if we say that he is or that church?
IL so, does he not adult that there is something
Objectionable in 1T We pass no opinion up
on the forms faith, or tenets OF any church

a MARES NEST

The steamer Northern Light was seized at
NewYork 0 y the 24th ult., by the Government
District Attorney, on suspicion Of having been
fitted out for a flibusteriDg expedition to Nj
caragua, just as she was about to sail for her
destination. We have not space for the full
particulars the substance is that Mr. McKeon,
the District Attorney, having warned the au-
thorities at Washington that a flibustering
party was about to sail, received orders from
the Executive to cause the arrest and detention
Of any vessel obnoxious to suspicion. Having
succeeded, after a series Of amusing adventures,
in OBTAINING the Northern Light, by virtue Of
the "little, brief authority " spoken Of, the U.
s. Marshals proceeded to search the vessel for
concealed arms, ammunition, ETC., and found an
enormous "mare's nest, as follows 1--WE quote
from the Herald):
"The boxes on deck were broken open and
their contents examined. This portion of the
cargo having been finished, the sInquisitive
Committee as it was called, descended to the
lower hold and renewed search. Here were The
boxes which had caused all the difficulty.
These were boxes about four feet long and two
or three feet wide, and being very heavy, were
supposed to contain rifles, balls or cannon.
These were shipped BY, Wines & Co.'s express,
and in breathless anxiety they were tumbled
over and the mallet and chisel applied to the
sides. Off came the lids, and in profound silence
the paper %wrappings were raised, and behold
what was there-not cannon, not the Minnie
rifles, as was reported, but good, solid, SULTAN
tial ploughshares. A laugh went up as this
discovery was made, and the order was given
by Captain Faunce and Mr.. Goldson, Of the
Custom House, to pass Them In some of
these suspicious boxes were saddles, and in
Others ploughshares. Ploughshares and sad
dies, type and printing press, in place of can
mons, rifles and powder and ball."
Upon the receipt Of this intelligence, the
President telegraphed his sagacious officer to
" let her went" and accordingly, about IL
o'clock on the night Of the 25th, the Northern
Light fired her gun and stood out to sea on her
voyage to Nicaragua.
And that is the amount of President Pierce's /
latest attempt to distinguish himself by head i
ing of" flibusters. What will he do next?
