in free conversation, and that with evident sin
certify that the Catholics were building churches very
rapidly, and, in a few years, they would have the
majority and then other religion cDuld be do1ced

thought there no danger of their ever attaining
their object; but, since the American movement
have been better informed, and have placed my mind
more on the subject am satisfied that those words

country | have met with several Americans who
had similar information from members of that church.

opinion.

The Reason why!

Claiming to know our own business bet
ter than the numerous outsiders now con-
gregated at the capital, and with proper
view as totits economical management,
some. days ago we ceased TO employ report
ers in the two branches Of the legislative
assembly Surmises have been made by
the political wise-acres around, that we
had stopped these reports, because we we're
interested in smothering the proceedings Of
the legislature. In reply to this, we have
only to say, that the journals Of the two
houses, containing these proceedings as re-
corded by the proper officers, must be pub
lished and distributed, and it would be
foolish to think of such o snppressiony--
For ourselves, we would be truly glad II
the honest yeomanry Of the territory could,
ia person, witness the acts of some of the
members of the present legislature. Could
we give a correct idea Of such political hy-
poerisy and duplcity as is exhibited by
by these mis-representatives Of the democ-
racy of Washington, we would not hesitate
as public journalists to do it. The journals
will show the rotcs and acts Of these parties
by them they will be judged. We fear
not the result.
We have stopped these reports, because

der of "a guns four frigates of 60 guns ;
four corvettes or brigs twelve steamships,
and eighty-two ships of inferior rank in

Dsy- Rev. Thomas Hin, of Waltham,

Day Rev. Thomas Hill, of Waltham, in
an article on Church Music, in late
Christian Examiner, says Sometimes
an attempt is made to alter q secular. air
by changing the cadence to q religions
form. We have recently heard tunes Of
this character from some new collection Of
sacred music-popular Irish and negro
melodies being cut of in the last measure,
and a chord of the subdominant introduced,
as it were to sanctify them The result is,
that the tunes are spoiled for whistling on
week day, without being 6t to be sung
on a Sunday" I u#u a.

sanctity of their obligation, and the oath
they swore as members to discharge their
duty as such to the people and the laws of
the Territory. Have they forgotten their
fragrant departure from duty and justice in
not dispoSseSsing men holding seats il their
body which are held Illegally? Has not
the Council lawful right to act for itself,
independent of the House This is self
evident to every honest and thinking mind.
The Council standing between the House
and the people, would loose its own sell
respect aud dignity, to let the House iniiict
so grave an outrage on the people. Let
the venerable Patriarch who presides over
the Council, and those sterling men stand
ing by him, vindicate the peoples rights.
The eyes of the whole Territory are upon
them, and our faith is firm in their upright,
honest and straight forward conduct The
people deceived and betrayed-led mana
cled to the altar, to be bartered off by
woolly headed abolitionists, know-nothings,
and all the contemplate refuge material
that makes up this conglomeration, which
is the principal ingredient of this unholy
opposition to the peoples known will, is
beyond all endurance.
"Oh! shame where is thy blushl"
The above remarks are not intended for
gentlemen who may have placed themselves
unintentionally in positions, not in conform
ity with their creeds in politics; and should
any feel themselves aggrieved, our columns
are open to them, to place themselves right
before the public Our main object is to
strike at the guilty, and not at the inno-
cent, and none will take any part to them
selves, unless it FITS their case, and if it
does, they can apply this plaster, and at a
future time, we will give them one that will
stick as burningly, as the shirt of Hercules
did to him.
Our reporter Of matters and things in
general, reports the very latest proceedings
of the last whig and know-nothing caucus
on the evening of the 18th inst, and it was
then agreed on to divide all the Offices in
the following manner, to-wit: Col. Wal
lace to be Printer, Col. Cock to be Treas
urer, the said Capt. Walker to be Auditor,
and Kendall to be Librarian. 1t is a
bright idea if they can carry it out, but
the Council may have something to do
with this matter before the bargain can be
made and enforced. We will see. 1t
would give Col Wallace a good chance to
blow his own horn for the next delegateship
for Congress But hold on, gentlemen;
not quite so fast; it is much easier for you
all to agree upon what Office you would
like to have, than it is to be elected to
them. ..
! would advise you to be more cautious
and prudent in your movements; our re-
porters have sharp ears and keen eyes, and
always on the lookout for news, and we
will keep the public advised as matters pro-
gress. Look out Look out neigh
bors, there are traitors in your camp. OH!
Lord! but there will be an awful shaking
of dry bones, before it is all over. Go it,
black republicans. Go it, know nothings
Go it, kinky hair Go it, federal wbigge-
ry. Go it, all the isms, and perdition take
the hindmost.
