KENNETH RAYNER AND JOHN NJ. Borrs-It was
well and truly said by distinguished orator, some
weeks ago, that If there were no enemies of the
Constitution in the South, there would be few enc
mics of the Constitution in the North or else that
the latter would he hopelessly and utterly without
power. So long as the South is not united South
so long as there in the South who assist to
push forward the schemes of sectionalsm in the
North long will there be abotionists and disun-
ionists in the free States. The course of Kenneth
Rayner and John NJ Bolts proves the justice of these
assertions. Both of these gentlemen are now en-
dcayorng to seduce Northern men to vote for John
C. Fremont in preference to James Buchanan; but
we beg readers to remember that tn. one is rs
weak and contemplate so far as political influence
goes in North Carolina, is the other in Virginia

"Get thee glass eyes" said Shakespeare, land,
like scurry politician the thing thou seest not
We regret to see that the breed OF scurvy politicians
has not much improved since the " myriad-mnded'
took his survey of them, centuries ago, but that
many specimens exist to demonstrate the fidelity OF
his Characterization.
The Hon. Joel T. Headley, New-Yorks dis
tpguished Secretary of State, has deemed it ncum-
bent on him TO jump into the Presidential contest;
and in accordance with current French proverb;
has illustrated his original training for the clerical
Office by choosing the theological department of the
subject He writes to the Rev. DIR. Hatfeld-his
avowed object is TO prove Col. Fremont Roman
Catholic in spite of himself; and here is part OF the
means he uses for that purpose:
next comes Prof. Weirs letter, which states that
Mr.. Fremont refused TO accept Protestant deVo'oha
book which he i'll kindness offered him, on the ground
that be was a Romanst. Did You examine the testi-
mony of one of the best and pures men OF the State
No!'
Now Prof. Weir" has been confronted by Mr..
J. A. c. Gray, and informed that Col. Fremont per-
emptorily denied the truth of his story; whereupon
Prof. Weir" admitted that he nerer offered de-
rotional book to Col. Fremont in person, and mrer
had moments conversation uh him on any rell-
giouS subject His revised statement is that he Of

Clined il, &c Is not our Secretary of State well
employed in thus giving renewed currency To mis-
statement which the author himself has corrected
Joel proceeds to cite The Fnemans Journal OF
this city AS evidence of Col Fremonts Catholicity
and thus proceeds:
"As Protestant, Sir, allow 10 invite my Protest
ant friends 10 cast glance at this unique gadatorial
contest A Catholic archbishop claims a man a
Catkoica Protestant divine resorts TO saying IL is
lie from end TO end 81"
Now the unique character OF convicted fa-
sifer in the premises is maintained not by Dr. Hat
field, nor yet by Catholic Archbishop" whether
The Freemans Journal speaks for the latter in this
matter or not. The Frtemans Journal has never
asserted, never intimated that COL Fremont is nO1
Cathohc-its effort to damage him extended only
70 the assertion that he nds one years ago. Its
Buchanier assaults on the Republican candidate for
president-Gts Editor being a Democrat of the
school Of Haynau and Bedini) all imply perfect
consciousness that Col Fremont is moi Catholic
Our ex-Reverend Secretary of State repeats
his fsschood twice or thrice and then beats it out
into this shape:

The Erie Railroad, we rejoice in being able to
state, has surmounted all difficulties occasioned by
the recent strike Of the engineers and is running it's
trains regularly throughout. Several of the Division
Superintendents reported by telegraph last night
excess Of engineers, who were promptly trans
ferred to other divisions. We believe the rules
which were the pretext for the strike are mainly
just and necessary, and rejoice that they have been
sustained. There has been no compromise, no
tampering on the part of Mr. McCaum, but a
simple adherence to his convictions of right. The
public will gladly learn that the running of the road
remains under his control.
