A Catholic Mother after her Protestant
Daughter.

A case of considerable interest came before
the Court yesterday, involving the custody of
an Irish girl IA years old, whom her mother,
Roman Catholic, wished to obtain, threaten
ing to infict violence on her for becoming
Protestant The circumstances of the case
are as follows:-Some two years since the
girl came to live with gentleman in this city
as domestic, and recently attended several
of the meetings in the first Baptist Church
and became convert. On last Sabbath, she
wished to be baptized and join the Church;
but her employer would not permit her to do
so till he had seen her parents, who are rigid
Catholics, residing in New Brunswick Last
week he went thithcr, and on stating the case
of his visit was ordered to send the child home,
and they would make her renounce her Prot
estant faith or kill her. This of course he re-
fused to do, and thereupon, on Friday last, the
parents, in company with others, came to this
city and attempted to take the girl away by
force. This was resisted by her employer,
and scuffle ensued, in which the enraged
mother broke her umbrella over his head, but
was unsuccessful in regaining her child, who
was unwilling to go with her. The parents
then withdrew, and obtained writ Of habeas
corpus, and yesterday the case came before
Judge Haines, who decided that mother was
generally entitled to the custody of her child
till reaching legal age; but that in this case,
having threatened violence, he could not let
her have the girl, and accordingly told the
employer to keep her. The parents, finding
they could not succeed in their designs, ac-
cordingly returned home, after excommunicat-
ing and matchmaking their daughter.-Neso-

Squire p, facetious, good natured sort Of a
body, whose jokes are even yet matter Of
Village Record, and have been rctold through
various editions from folio down to dnodecimo.
Aunt Lizzy was Deacon Snipe's wifes sister
"a maiden lady Of about fifty--she went to
all the meetings-kept regular account of
every birth, death, and marriage, with their
dates--doctored all the babies, and knew every
yard in the ghborhood-showed all the
young married women how to make soap; and
when they had bad luck, made every child in
tho house sit cross legged until the luck was
changed In fine she was q kind Of village
actotum- spent her time in going from house
tohouse, grinding out grist of SANDER to each,
as occasion required, but always concluded with
"the wsy Of transgressors is hard; poor Mrs.
A. or b. las the case was) pity her from the
bottom of my heart" or some such very sooth-
ing reflection. Aunt Lizzy was always very
fond Of asking strangers and Others, without
regard to time or place, "the state Of their
minds; how they enjoyed their minds &c.
These questions we're generally followed by a
string Of scandal, which was calculated to de-
stroy the peace and hnppiness of some Of her
best neighbors and friends but she, like other
narrators Of this kind, considered such intellcc
tual murder MS either establishing her own fair
reputation, or as the only mode Of entertaining
the village, and thereby rendering her society
agreeable.
One warm summers afternoon, as the squire
was sitting near his Office door, smoking his
pipe, Aunt Lizzy was passing by with great
speed, rumiuating on the news Of the day, when
the squire brought her suddenly to, as the
sailors say, by

The old lady, who never wanted a second invi-
tation, went into the Office, and the following
dialogue soon commenced:

forenoon what useful man you might be,

All eyes were now alternately on Susey b. and
Squire Ps wife-Aunt Lizzy enjoined kind
of diabolical triumph, which the Squire no
sooner perceived than he finished his sentence
by declaring that the church member, to whom
he alluded, Was his own laagt'ul toitst!
Aunt Lizzy drew in her head under a huge
bonnet, as turtle does under his shell, and
marched away into one corner Of the room, like
adog that has been killing sheep. The Squire,
as usual, burst into a fit Of laughter, from
which his wife, Susey B., and even the Parson,
could not refrain joining land Parson G. af-
terwards acknowledged that Sqairo P. had
given death blow to scandal in the village,
which all his preaching could not have done.

Correspondence Of the Evening Post.l
The Fight over Postmaster Cook.
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1855


The fight in Executive Session over Cooks ap-
pointment as Postmaster Of Chicago was resumed
in the Senate last evening, and resulted in giving
Douglas one of his greatest triumphs. He ofIcr
a resolution calling upon the Treasury and Post
Office Departments for certain correspondence
| which embraces the proofs Of the charges brought
against Cook. Fitch of Indiana made character
istic speech but not so bitter as the day before
when Mr.. Douglas hayed him. He opposed the
adoption Of the resolution. He is rather in favor
of strangling investigation into frauds Of al kinds
just now. lie was sc eral times put right by Mr..
Douglas in matters Of fact. On one occasion he
made the following eloquent outburst III will not
be interrupted any more. dislike this bantam cock
style of interference" After bitter opposition TO
the resolution from Senator's Sdell, Brown, Mason,
and Others il was laid on the table. At this point
Mr. Hunter Of Virgin, said: ave must invest.
gate His matter" ayes, Yes" responded Pugh
and Clay. These demonstrations ofyielding TO the
Illinois Senator created an excitement such as has
been seldom witnessed. Senators Shdel, Brown,
aud others sprang TO the seat of Hunter the former
exclaiming, ave have had enough Of this don't
revive it."
Senator Broderick, taking advantage Of the at
tempts made TO overawe Hunter, obtained the floor,
and delivered lecture 10 the Democracy which
they will not very soon forget. He said he was
surprised TO see Senators controlled in their action
grave question by bitter spite against Senator
whose life had been devoted to the great interests
Of the Democratic party A man is nominated for
highly responsible place. Senator rises in his
place and prefers charges against him, showing him
to be dishonest and therefore unfit for the place.
He points the Senate to the place where the testi-
mony is recorded and moves a resolution, the ten.
dency Of which is to procure said testimony and
in the face of all this, Senators say, 1--WE have had
enough Of this; VIC want no investigation Mr..
Broderick characterized the proceedingas dishonor
able and disgraceful
The vote laying the resolution on the table was
reconsidercd, and the testimony was ordered.

PROSPECTUS OF TIE WASHINGTON
AMERICAN.

We can hardly think it necessary to sirge
upon those who hold that Americans ought to
rule America the importance Of having paper
at the seat of the Federal Government, which
shall enunciate and advocate the doctrines Of
the American party.
A paper issued from any Of the great centres
of a nation, but especially from the political
Metropolis, in the present age, not in this
country only, but in Great Britain, France, and
wherever there is the least freedom of discus
sion, is a medium through which those hold
ing similar sentiments in regard to public af-
fairs and public policy, may make known, dis
cuss and defend their views, and expose the
improperly of the principles and the impolicy
of the measures Of their antagonists. 1t should
earnestly labor to give a proper direction to
public opinion by enlightening the public
mind.
The AMERICAN is the only paper published
at the seat of the Federal Government which
advocates american doctrines; the only SEN
tinel of the party stationed where near and
clear view cau be had of the movements and
doings of their opponents at their headquarters.
Here political information concentrates, and
from hence it radiates to every part of the en-
pire; here party measures and movements are
determined, and political campaigns planned;
here stratagems are concocted and thwarted,
and here at certain seasons of the year politi-
clans most do congregate; here, in short, is
the centre of the great political maelstrom in
which so many thousands are constantly plung-
ing and forever gyrating.
Ifthe American party is desirous of being
national party, it should not be without a
paper here through which it can make known
to all people its views, aims and opinions and
which shall also refute the calumnies that are
from time to time uttered against it through
ignorance or less excusable motive and we,
therefore, take hope that the AMERICAN, stand
ing, as it win stand upon the platform of the
american party, advocating, as it will advo-
cate, the paramount rights of native-born citi-
zens, eschewing, as it will eschew, all interfer-
ence with slavery as a national concern, and
maintaining, as it will maintain, perfect free
dom Of opinion and Of conscience in religion,
will find favor in the eyes Of all truly patriotic
citizens in the land, and commend itself to their
generous support
Lest we may not have been specific enough
in declaring our principles, We add, that the
FAREWELL ADDRESS Of the Father of his coun.
try as illustrated by the broad light Of his ad-
ministration, is our political textbook and Udde
mecum and shall be our compass and chart.
