RoMANIsm IN THE UNITED STATES. - MT. Brownson IS warning his Catholic brethren, in his Review, that "the Church" must decline in this country. and dwindle into insigniicance, unless it can attain a greater intellectual power. He says that the Church IS not growing by conversions as rapidly as il IS diminishing by perverts; that Il cannot hope 10 maintain its ground by immigration from abroad; and that very soon some of it's great cathedrals will be without congregations. He says the Cath. ollcs must humble the Protestant pride of intellect in lhls country by proving them
 selves superior; and of this he sees but little present hope, as the intellectually of the Catholics of America is now so near zero that among all the hundreds of thou sands no work of any merit from the best Papal pen can command more than 2,000 or 2,500 sales of copies.

Good New from the Dover Convention
 Col. T. c. Hindman nominated for
 Congress from the 1st District, upon
 the First Ballot.
 We are gratified to learn from Col. J.. T Haralson and Col. P. P. Hill, who arrived in town last evening, from Dover, that Col. T. c. HISDMAN was nominated for Congress from the lst District, upon. the first ballot. He received 27 of the 39 votes. Three times three cheers for the gallant Democracy of the Northern Dis trict We congratulate them and the gal lant HrsDMAx. He richly deserves and has received their full eommendatlon.
 BELL AND EvERETT.-The Opposition Convention, or more properly Ignorers, yCho assembled at Baltimore on the 9lh instant, nominated JOHN BELL of Ten nessee, for President, and EDWARD Ev- BRETT of Massachusetts for Vice Presl- dent. We heard one of our citizens very properly characterize it Kangaroo tick et-all it's strength being behind. Gen. SAM. HoUsToN stood second best with MT. BELL in the balIotings, and his Ten nessee friends were qole confident, up 10 the last moment, believing that the Gen erals eccentric history would give him a degree of acceptability which the longer tried members of the Ignoring party very much lacked" My
 The nomination of BELL and EVERETT has not created the least enthusiasm in any section As the Ignorers are said 10 be believers in strange condolences, perhaps they remembered about the hour of adjourning that they were occupying the same house, in which Mir. Van Bu- ren was nominated when he was beaten by Gen. Harrison.
 The platform adopted can be covered by the three fore-fngers of either candi- date. and we presume IS all that either desired. It will suit any point of the compass, and renders ratification meetings unnecessary, as such assemblages, at the South especially, might reiterate the well known fac. that MT. Bell co.opera.ed with MT. Douglas on the Lecomplon question and voted with him and the Black Repub. Iicans for whole session of Congress Below we give the platform:
 WHEREAS, Experience has demonstrated that all platforms adopted by political divis- ions by encouraging geographical and section al parties, therefore,
 RESOLVED, That both patriotism and duty require that they should recognize no policy or principles but those resting on the broac foundation of the Constitution of the country the Union of the States and the enforcement of the laws and that as representatives of the Constitutional and Union party, and of ths country they pledge themselves to maintain protect, and defend these principles, thus af fording security at home and abroad, and se- curing the blessing of liberty to themselve; and posterity. 1 "if 3aia"'

Col. N. B. BuRRow This gentleman
 as we learn from the .Msmphis .Avalanche
 made speech in that city on the night oi
 the 10th inst which is spoken of in words
 of the highest commendation. The .Aua.
 la,ache adds There was no music-nc drumming effort to attract crowd the audience, which was nevertheless large and respectable, for two hours lis. tened, 10 the speech of Col. Barrow with breathless anxiety. In fact we have never. on any occasion, seen as much attention shown a public speaker. Col. Burrow gave an account of his steward ship as one of the delegates to the Char leston Convention, and he most conclu- sively showed that the Southern States could not, with honor, remain in the Con- vention; that the entire South would have iolned the seeding States bu, for the petty aspirations of small men. In triumph he held up the majority platform, which Southern States had adopted, and said that the, seeding States intended to de- fend and stand by that platform to the last With scorn and indignation he re- baked the charge of disunion, and showed that the seceders were the true friends of the Union-lha, they loved principle more than the spells of office. Owing to the lateness of the hour we cannot give any thing like revIew ot hIs able, eloquent and powerful speech, From the first to the last he was loudly applauded, and there was an interest and enthusiasm manifested. which showed that even in poor degenerate Memphis, there was still existing latent spark of patriotism which was destined 10 kindle flame of true Southern feeling" a.v .es .,...h

THE PINE BLUFF SrAgE CoNvEN- TroN.-By reference to the proceedings of the Democratic Meeting, which will be found incur columns, it will be seen that delegates have been appointed to meet the Democracy of the State in Con- venton, at Pine Bluff, to nominate can didate for Governor. The suggestions thrown out by the meeting in Jefferson county, on the 18th ull., and i, their ad- dress to the people of the State, which we published last week, meets with a hearty response hy the people of this sec- ton of the State. The Democracy of Arkansas are not satisfied with the nom- nation of RICHARD H. JOHNSON Even were no other candidate to run, his vote would be mcagre in the extreme. The great mass of the people, as affairs now exist, will not vote at all. Therefore, if Mr. Johnson's friends are determined 10 '" crowd him upon us, nolens volens,' no time should be lost in selecting com pelent and true man-one who can be relied upon for " soberness and staidness , to fill the exalted position of Governor of our State. As things are now, we shall vote for MT. Johnson; but give us bet ter man. fairly selected and we shall be found battling for his election. There are numbers cf names we could mention, that the people of the State would delight to honor men who would add lustre to the name and fame of our glorious State.

EkH The short time which will elapse between now and the opening of the Convention at Richmond renders 1t very important that the Delegates should be prompt in thelr attendance. The Dele ga,ion who represented Arkansas Tn the recent Convention at Charleston, will, no doubt. be prompt Tn their attendance at Richmond on the llth and al Baltimore on the 18th of June. Those who seeded from th e Charleston Convention unques- tlonably represented the feeling of large majority of the people of this State, and will be fuly justified iu the course they pursued. The following from the CharieS Ion Mercury is especially worthy oi their consideration
 The Southern States which have remained in the Convention, may, we suppose, be fairly considered as engaged in the exalted vocation of Pres ident-making, without regard to the rights of the South. They go into the ballot with Squatter Sovereignty platform. On such platform. it is little or no consequence to the South whom they nominate. MT. Doug
 las is just as good as any Southorn man who can be nominated. Indeed. he may be far better. A Southern man who will accept of nomination ON A PLATFORM OPPOSED TO THE RIGHTS OF THE SOUTH, whether he believes it or not, is totally unworthy of the support. of the Cotton States. If he believes in it, then he is worse than MT, Douglas; for in adminis- tering the government, he will endeavor to con ciliate the North while Mir Douglas, on the contrary, being from the North, would strive to concilate the South And if he does not believe in the platform. then he is still less worthy of the supf ort of the South. He sac riices his principles to obtain offce-prin- iples, iA the opinion of the Cotton States at least, vital to their rights and liberties. He puts himself into this dilemma; If he carries out his principles in the action of the Govern ment, he is a traitor to the platform on which he was nominated, and deceives those who shall elect him. If he does not carry out his then he abandons them for office and is traitor to the Constitution and the South. Our opinion, however, is that no such profligacy will be perpetrated because no nomination will be made by the Convention We congratulate the Southern States which have with drawn from the Convention, that they are free of this ignoble struggle. lu

 The principles enanciated in the fore- going resolution are guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States, and their .nnequivocal recognition by the De- inocracy of the Union we regard as essen tial, not only to the integrity of the party, but 10 the safety of the States whose in- teresis are directly involved.
