CATHOLIC Prescription or JEwa-We learn
from the Deborah, Jewish paper published in
Cincinnati, that the Roman Catholic priesthood In
Prusslau Poland have issued an order prohibiting
Catholics from rendering any service 10 Jews, or
even hiring themselves to work for Jew in any
capacity. The proclamation states that any Catho-
lie who dsobeys this order shall not receive abso-
luton Tor sins but shall be subjected TO the penalty
OF accommodation. II the Roman Catholic hie-
rarehy had the power in this country we have no
doubt that a similar order would be issued 70 the
Adherents Of the church here. forbidding them to
reader any service whatever 10 Protsstants. The

II the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan could have

Carolina would not have been represented by a sin
gle delegate in the Convention that nominated him.

by, perhaps secure his re nomination that the

that because an OverpoweriAg influence from the
North succeeded in nominating man Of ali aspir~

nit TO the placing upon necks yoke which is to
break us TO the service Of Northern enemies and
eventually become the willing servants Of fanat-
cal taskmasters?
Should South Carolina consent, TO acquiecse in the
nomination which has been made will it not amount
TO an overt act of treason 10 herself, and disgrace
her in the eyes Of ell honorable aud consistent men?
The nomination which has been made, and that too,
by the aid Of Southern votes amounts virtually TO
a Reputation of the administration Of President
Pierce who was and St should be the choice Of

dsregarded, and one selected in preference TO him

That the just claims of Mr.. Pierce to the nomina.

are not surprised TO learn, as it will readily occur
to our readers, that we have been predicting for
the last four months that his political integrity and
stern observance of the rights of the South would
be sufficient to deprive him of the favor of the po-
litical gamblers who compose the great mass Of a

disappointed. To the nominee of the Democratic

can arrive at the comforting conclusion, that to
the guardianship of Mr.. Buchanan 1.-THE whole coun

Buchanan's orthodoxy, we do assert that a blind
advocacy of his claims for the Office to which he
aspires will amount virtual ignoring of the faith
OF our fathers and will result IN the Inauguration of
a new policy in South Carolina; it will bind US to

Democratic Meeting in Pasquotank.

According to previous notice, large and spirited
meeting of the Democracy of Pasquotank County,
was held at the Court House in Elizabeth City, on
Wednesday, 9Th inst, at Q o'clock, P. NJ. and upon
motion of Lucius johnson, Esq, Jeremiah d. Stoke
w was called to the Chair, and VIM. V. Geffroy re-
quested to act as Secretary. The Chairman in as
Stunning his dutes explained the object Of the meet

date for Governor and the latter to meet in Gates

On motion of L. D. Starke, Esq, committee Of

F. Martin, and Wilson Spence. EtEE
During the retirement of the Committee, Lucius
johnson, in response to loud calls upon him, made
some appropriate and stirring remarks on the pro-
priety Of primary meetings, and upon the exciting
topics of the day.
Mr.. Starke then sub nitted the following preamble
and orthodox resolutions, which were unanimously
concurred in:
WHEREAS, calls have been made, from the proper
sources, upon the Democracy to organize for the ap
preaching State and Presidential elections; and
whereas systematic organization of the party will
tend essentially to promote the success of our party

This was the clsp.trap with which the rev party
started out in its efforts to deceive tie people. In
little time it found that their proscriptive ef.
forts were likely to lose them the State of Louis-
ana. The result was that in their Philadelphia
National Convention they admitted Catholics ia
seats with the view of avoiding that difficulty in
Catholic State.
In Tennessee they have manifested every dispo-
siton to aatter and csjole the foreigner whenever
they could get him into their ranks; and, when
they could find one of so little s,frespect, have
been willing even to install him as high priest 10
MAN, the driast of foreigners, has been engaged in
preparing documents for the campaign, thousands
of which have besn circulated ever the State.
Another foreigner has been "put on guard" as one
OF the Vice Presidents of their Fillmore and Don
elson club. In Chattanooga foreigner has been
made the Secretary of Fillmore and Donelscn

tended by Monsieur de Montegre, one of the nu-
merous brotherhood of French Counts, as dele
gate from the county of White. He informed an
acquaintance of ours that he, too, had been "put
on guard" as the President of the know nothing
council in his locality; and when asked why he
was found in such company, his reply was: when
We are among de wolves we must howl as de
wolves do" Kuaves and hypocrtes are not pecu-
liar to any particular race of people, no more than
filth is to the earrion crow. The hypocrisy of the
foreigner who joins the order is but equalled by
the knsvery of the Americans who receive him
into it. 1t is thus made evident that there is no
sincerity in all the cant about putting "none but
Americans on guard" They would initiate ss-
tan himself if by so doing he could cast vote for
them in the election.

correct the evils incident to heavy foreign popu.

NATURALIZED CITIZENS-THE RIGHT TO VOTE
1t was conten ded for time last summer, by
some of our know nothing friends, that the State
statute requiring six months residence in the
county in which any one offers to vote, should be
80 construed as to require naturalized citizens to
be in the county six months after their nat ursli-
zstion papers were obtained. We might just as
well require minors to be in the county six months
from the time they become of age. The ques-
ton was finally referred to a committee of law
yers, composed Of both parties, and the result of
their Investigations was thus summed up in the
Gazette Of July 81:
"The committee of our citizen lawyers, COM
posed of Messrs. R. J. Meigs and Russell Houston
on the part of the American know nothingl party,
and Messrs. Andrew Ewing and W. F. Cooper on
the part of the opposition party, appointed to de-
eide the controversy relative to the right of for
eigners to vote, in consultation yesterday morn
ing, unanimously agreed that the word "ctizen"
in the State statute, relates back with regard to
residence, and that therefore the taking out of
naturalization papers at any time previous to the
election will entitle the foreigner to vote in case
he has been, previous to the election, bona tide
resident of the State and county the time pre-
seribed. The American know moi hingl party
VIII Cuo0IluHg ooluo Wy lnO OCOlSlVHs
We understand that it has been more recently
said that foreign-born citizens would not be per-
mitted to vote in the November election, unless
they produced their naturalization papers. For
this there is no authority. By reference to the
18th Sec of the act of the Tennessee Legislature of
l84l, it will be seen that the production of such
papers is not indispensable to the exercise Of the
right of suffrage. The act says.
"Thst when any person who is not a native
born citizen of the United States, shall offer to
vote and bis vote is objected to, he shall produce
certified copy of the record Of his naturalization
which record shsll show that the person has been
declared by competent court a citizen of the
United States, if the same is in his session or
IF not then he may be examined to his natmali-
cation, and if the judges shall be satisfied from his
examination, and other oral testimony Of any is
otered) that the party offering to vote is natural
ized they shall receive his cote accordingly In like
manner the party offering to vote may be exam
ined to his naturalization when he produces the
copy of the record of his naturalization and the
same is objected to on account of suthentica-
ton" NJ

LET THE SOUTH REMEMBER.

That the recent successes OF the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Connecticut, have
shown that Fremont has but one chance left him of
being elected; and that is to defeat an election
before the people and throw it into the House,
where the Black Republicans are the strongest
party.
That the only effect of giving the vote of Ten.
uessee to Fillmore would be the chance of throw
ing the election before the House where the Black
Republicans wsntit.
Great will be the responsibility of Southern men
who pursue such course, whether their effort is
successful or not.

Vice President of the United States, whether in
the old counties from which the fractions were
taken, or in the new county at the precinsts there
IN established, and under the authority emsnatihg
from the county court of Cheatham, we are of
