Catholics and The Union.

The FreemdH'S Journal concludes an ar.
sticle on " Catholic Influences aud Tenders
cies " as follows:
Turning now to the subject that suggests
these cOuslderatiOns-the American Union
as regarded from a Catholic puirt of view
Is there, or could there be, form Of pnlit>
ical government on which the eve of Cath,
Ollie principles could fall with greater Meas
ure than on that which was projected md
has existed az the American Constitution ?
The Union formed by it supposed and
contemplated this brotherhood of Chris
tendon, and this reservation of all local
liberties.
Another question would be- does Catholic
sentiment ask that this Union, after what
has happened, should still be perp4tuated ?
IL seems bold question, but the answer Is
irrefragable. Ii the people of the United
States are still as virtuous and as generous
as their fathers and ancestors were-iE
they have the magnanimity and good sense
to respect each others rights, and live in
peace aud harmony, Catholic sentiment,
and catholic principle, do desire that our
glorious old Union may still continue. But,
II the unltel character of the Government,
under the constitution, is, through the de-
generacy OF the people, to prove only an
occasion OF quarreling, Of feuds. Of had
spirit--then Catholic sentimentand CatboIic
principle will say that less intimate reIas

ences of character.
But Catholic sentiment and Catholic
principle will say, in that case: Letthere
be no quarrel, heseech thee !" between
the one section and the other. Behold.
the whole land is before thee" Let the
one go one way, the other another way in
peace, " fo- We are brethren" Catholic
sentiment will never say: LET us fodt

Facts for the People TO Think
about Concerning the slavery
Question.

about Concerning the Slavery
Question.
The Abolition North commenced the ag-
itation by trying to prevent the admission
of Missouri into the Union.
The South, to get it in, had to yield Up
her rights to four-ffths Of the common ter
ritories.
Afterward all the men engaged in poll
tics, now leaders in the Republican party
Chase, Giddings, Seward. Lincoln, Sum-
ner, &c.-fought against the admission of
slaves states, and denounced the Missouri
Compromise.
In settling the territorial question Of the
Mexican war, the North opposed the divis
ion Of the acquired territory by the Mis-
souri, line, and insisted on slavery being
interdicted from the whole of it.
The Republicans opposed having the
question Of slavery in the territories left to
the people o. the territories to decide for
themselves.
When the people in 80 ratified the CON
promise of 80, leaving the slavery question
to the people to decide for themselves in
the territories, and to carry out that prin-
ciple in full, the Missouri restriction was
repealed, the Republicans at once charged
to entertain devoted attachment for the
Missouri Compromise, calling 1t sacred
compact. and its repeal betrayal Of
Plighted troth.
Now, when the objection to the Missouri
Comprc mise, because Of it's unconsiitution
slity, is to be obviated by making it part
of the Constitution, the Republicans again
6enounce it in the same old style Of aboli-
ton bitterness and vituperation.
Ii is we'll established fact the passage
Of the Crittenden amendment withiu a
month after it was proposed would have
prevented the secession of any Of the slave
states but South Carolina, and she would
have come back six months after it's passage
Also, that the adoption Of the Crittenden
amendment will keep all the remaining
slave states in the Union, ard eventually
bring back those that have gone out Then
what has the North gained 10y the agitation
OF the slavery question that she would not
have gained if she had let it alone? What
would the North lose by adopting the Crit
tenden amendment?
Are not the Republicans, in their in
sulting dictat0rial assumptions towards the
South, more If disuniun party than the
secessiOnists? Have not all the border
slave States pledged themselves to secede
from the Union, unless there is settle
ment of the slavery question on the basis OF
the Crittenden amendment? Fit will do
no harm to the North land it cannot be
shown that it willy to make the settlement,
and the Republicans refuse to make 1t. and
Professionally ard determinately refuse to
allow the people chance 10 vote for it,
are they not disrnion party? And has
not the whole agitation and its results
shown that it has been scheme to drive
of the South and :hus weaken the Demo
cratic and Union party, SO that Northern
politicians could secure power, that New
England might saddle the country with the
burdens of high protective tariff? Which
will be the best for Cincinnati, Union and
free trade with the South, or dsunion aud
big duties to New England manufactures
and imports on our duties to the South?

The Expense.

1t will cost vast deal more to collect the

ments of the new tariff than it would
amount to. An estimate was furnished
the United States Senate by Gen. Scott,
stating that the Administration could not
collect the revenue in the seeded States.

would require al army of 100000 men,
and an annual expenditure of S3I6 600 600.

Democrats, it is true, have an interest in

of theiI making, we insist that the Repub-
leans do the fighting for awhile. The
Tribune, Old Abe's leading organ in Hi
nois, disposes of the services of Democrats.
and we feel like commencing it FOR such n
display of justice. With the Chicago Tri-

put forth their strength" now. The re-
ports from Charleston indicate that Old
Abe has need of their services. Where
are the gallant Wide Awakes? There is
a chance for display of their courage

The Register crows Justify over the victory,
