PROTEST. AGAINST TIE IMMACULATE CoNCEP-
TIoN.-The protest of the Dutch Catholic Bish-
ops against the doctrine of the immaculate
conception is bold and startling. 1t has the
war-like tone of Luthcr's theses, as il summon
ing the church militant to deadly conflict, They
declare that Plus, alas the weak Plus, has
thrown himself into the arms of the jesuits,
and lent his name to deed deeply grles ing all
good men and causing a new scandal in the
church. After showing that the doctrine is
taught neither by the scriptures nor by tradition,
declare that it is not even based on the lowest
grade Of probability, and they cannot therefore
admit that the Pope spoke an inialible word
when he declared it, The protest is signed ::
I John, Archbishop of Utrecht; Henry John,
Bishop of Harlem, and Herman, Bishop of
Derwenter, and is justly considered one OF the
most staggering blows that the inallibility of
the Pope has received for many years.

highly respected citizen Of Quincy, died sudden
y at Freeport, in this State, several days since
Mr.. Green on the way from this city to the
Wisconsin Pineries, and got from the cars at
Freeport for the purpose OF procuring refresh
ments and to await the arrival of the Central
train. While seated in the station house, qui-
city and without struggle, he sank to sleep in
the aims of death. For several years Mr.. Green
had been in feeble health, laboring under con-
sumption, and had undertaken the trip to the
Pineries with the hope that it would prove BEN
ehcial, and restore him to the sound and perfect
health that he once enjoyed. -
His remains were inferred Yesterday after

last resting place by large number of our eiti.

SPALDING l. RoGER's CIRCUS exhibited here
last night to an immense concourse of people.
The afternoon performance was delayed by the
rain and mud, but was well attended. The for
ty-horse team and WIRE walking came off ad
vertsed. Altogether the show was the best
of the kind that has ever visited this place
While witnessing the crowds of people throng-
ing to the pavilion, we could not but be per-
suaded that the circus is the popular amusement
of the American people, and particularly Of
those in the rusal districts. Preach against it
as much as you will-show the inconsistency as
oft as you may of a man spending his only half
dollar to get under the pavilion-and yet the
people WILL GO. Well, this is a free country,
and we don't suppose the people could be re-
strained from such diversions, even if it were
considered expedient
| By.the-way, have any of our readers ever
| thought of the immense expense attending one
OF these circus troupes? Spalding & Rogers,
for instance, have over 200 men and horses

ANoTnER FALL--A MINISTER IN TRouBLE.-
We learn thata Methodist preacher by the name
OF Parker, residing at or near Nevada, in Story
county, was examined before magistrate of
, that place on Wednesday last, charged with an
attempt to commit rape, and held to bail for his
| appearance. Great excitement prevailed among
the good people of Story. According to the
testimony, as reported to us, this clerical delin.
| quent started with this young woman to take
her home in Harrison county, and while on the
way, under pretencc of driving around ditch,
| drove into the woods, and there attempted TO
accomplish the datnnahle deed. The young wo-
man resisted, and at last Parker became SO en-
| ragged that he drew a knife and threatened to
| kill her if she didn't consent. She told him she
would 'rather be murdered than dishonored."-
AT last he was forced to relinquish his devish
| purpose, and the woman getting to town by some
| means, filed hernformation and had the rascal ar
rested. These the particulars as detailed to
us of this outrageous transaction.-F TT. Des

DON'T PAY.-The journal ald other papers
say that the people of the West do not pay
up" but use the money belonging to the mer-
chants of the East in specializing in Western
land. As reply to this, we would say that
the amount of wheat which arrived in New York
from the West for the year ending May LIST,
1856, was $3,94l $40 bushels. For the year
ending May LIST, 1857, the amount was over
100000 bushels. This not only shows that
the West "pays up,' but that the West is pay
ing up in a manner never before equalled-
