The Bible in Spain.

In the Madrid Chambers, on the 23d February,
M. Battles, one of the deputies, demanded why the
government, upon the request Of the ecclesiastical
vicar, had prohibited the circulation of Bible re-
Gently printed at Madrid, the text of which was
conformed to the approved textS M. Battles pre-
faced his query by profession of Catholic faith
"I was born Catholic" he said, and / hope
to die in that belief but if Professionalism consists
in protesting energehcaly against the numerous
vices, the unparalleled excess the culpable egot-
ism, the scandalous frauds the notorious bad faith
the audacious resistance to the laws, the deadly
influence OF the Court of Rome upon Christianity
the abuse of power the unjust and illegal intrusion
of that court in the rights and privileges of nations
and monarchs - if Professionalism consists in de-
nouncing the shameless and criminal disobedience
to the constituted authorities, preached without
ceasing and to-day with more scandal than ever
by great number of ecclesiastics-I declare bold
ly that am Protestant and am certain that
my opinion is shared by all good Catholics who
desire the triumph Of the Gross and the propaga-
ton Of the doctrines of Christ throughout the ma
tions of the earth"
The Minister Of the Interior having admitted the
fact denounced by NJ Battles, and having attempt.
ed to justify II by an unrepealed law of 1920 ex-
pressed himself in these terms
There was no need for M. Battles in making his
lnterpeiatoh 10 uenVer suCh speech. There was
no necessity 10 accumulate grave charges against all
the ministers Of the Church and against the Roman
Ponti, visible head of the Church Of Jesus Christ
and temporal sovereign violent murmurs of dis
sent.) These mumurs win not prevent me from
expressing my opinions. These interruptions come
not from the Spanish nation eminenty Catholic
A minister OF Isabella III. Catholic Queen Of Spain,
cannot allow any one to insult, without protest,
the chief of the religion, which the Spanish peo-
pie Processes. How can he do otherwise, when,
without provocation, without authority, and so in
opportunely, deputy allows himself to outrage,
in the midst Of Parliament the chief of the Cath
olic Church What representatives Of the con-
stituent assembly have you forgotten SO soon your
vote declaring the religious unity of the Spanish
nationf Do you wish to give your enemies the
pretext Of saying, It already has beeu said that
your constitution does not ratify this untys Even
II You have voted the federation Of other religious
worship, it would be none the less improper TO
censure the chief of religion which has civilized
Europe
These remarks Of the minister gave little salts
faction, especially as they we're supposed TO indi.
cate an approaching resumption Of the former in
innate relations between Spain and the Court OF
Rome.

Important from Ohio.

The Cincinnati Times Of Saturday contains the
following important notice:
0FricIAL.--We are authorized by Hon. z. b.
Bartlett, President of the National American Coun-
eli, TO announce that by the power vested in him,
he will, forthwith, revoke and annul the charter
Of the State Council Of Ohio illegally retained by
the late President of the American Order in Ohio,
Thomas H. Ford, and his seceding associates, who
deny and defy the action Of the National Council,
at the nominating Convention held at Philadelphia,
on February 22d 1855, and oppose it as Republ-
cans. The Ohio State Council, reorganxed under
Thomas C. Ware, Esq, of Cincinnati, (by authori-
~ of the President of the National Council, as
President, Is preparing new constitution, which
will be forthcoming at an early day."
The Times then denounces the course Of Thomas
II. Ford, who bolted from the nomination of Fill
more and Doneson, and convened the State Coun-
Gil at Columbus on the 20th instant
We also learn from the Columbus correspondence
adjournment, the Ohio State Council of the Ameri-
can party, Thomas G. Ware, President, assembled
at City Hall, and proceeded to consider the state
Of the Order and prepare for regular and thorough
organization. All platforms were promptly repu.
dated, with the exception that there was an unan-
imous concurrence in the one great principle Of
Americanism, and an expressed determination of
the delegates to have the Order placed square on
the Missouri Compromise The Convention ad-
journed at II o'clock, having transacted all their
business to meet again at the call of the President
The Times thus congratulates its readers on the
separation Of the American from the Republican
party in Ohio: ...
The fog that has for sometime bedimmed the
political atmosphere of Ohio, and of the American
party everywhere, will be diss spated, and man can
understand truly theirpositive and relative positions
We shall look with interest to the immediate future
action of the American party under its new Presi-
dent, Thomas G. Ware, Esq, of this city, doubling
not that with his intelligence and integrity all will
be well Having now extricated ourselves from Sc
riously banefai entanglemcnts, there is glorious
career opened to the American party of Ohio and
We call upon every true son Of the Republic to
stand fast in the faith he has avowed and be true
to those obligations, which ignoring no question
involving human rights, nevertheless is anxious to
keep the chain Of the Union bright, as the surest
safeguard of those great principles of civil and re-
lgious liberty, which are the security of our own
people and the hope of all others of every cline,
and through an indefinite future
