BANDANA, according to Webster, Is
q species of silk or cotton handker-
chief, having q uniformly dyed
ground usually Of red or blue, with
figures of a circular or lozenge form,
made by discharging the color. 1t
comes from the Spanish word
Jdaddno which means n neckerchief
made of bast, and bast is the inner
bark of the lime tree or linden, and
hence the same name for mating,
cordage, &c, made from this inner
bark. The word is spelled bandana
or bandanna, with the formee as
preference.

to hinder us or make us afraid
on account of our religious be-
lief. Never having been molest-
ed on account of our opinions,
whether political or religious, we
are liable to think too lightly of
the great blessing that we have
no established religion. We can
not oppose too strongly every
measure that has the least tenden-
cy towards uniting church and
ktate ,ar giving any denominations
All advantage over Others For
where this union exists there rs
always a disposition on the part
of the church to persecute those
of a different religious belief
We have seen such an objection
able measure advocated Ia some
Of the Northern States, especial
| ly 10 New York. The Roman
Catholics are numerous there, and
they, are not willing, like the
othet denominations. TO enjoy tbs
benefits of the pubic schools ir
common, but demand the privil-
ege of having schools under then
own control, and yet to be sup
ported by the public money.
Such measure ought never TO bs
granted, as it would encourage
them to demand other exclusive
privileges. [Sonthern Herald.
