Secretary Gatherie.

Mr. Gutherie's letter to Mr. Bronson, Collector of Customs in the city of New York, has brought down upon him the indignation of large numbers of the democracy. The Secretary's object seems to have been to give office to the Softs in removing Mr. Bronson, who acts with the Hards. Mr. Bronson has replied in a very dignified and independent letter which will, in all probability cause his removal. This able letter which should be read by every democrat in the land concludes as follows: (See conclusion of letter on first page.)

Mr. Bronson has been removed merely for maintaining in a manly and dignified style, his constitutional rights.

OCT The State Sentinel is much grieved at the war now raging between the two wings of the democracy, in New York, which has been lashed into fury by the recent correspondence between Secretary Gutberie and Collector Bronson. The editor's political sagacity has, at length suggested a new mode of getting rid of the difficulty. This suggestion is contained in the following from the Sentinel of Oct. 27th: "We hope the President will remove the whole batch and fill their places with good honest Democrats from the State of New Jersey, which is in the collection district, and that no more appointments will be made from New York. This will humble them, by cutting off the supplie's."

He thus intimates that honest democrats are not to be found in New York, and he is afraid for the President to make any appointments in New York, lest some offence may be given to the opposite faction and thus weaken the party. What a noble suggestion what manly independence how like to Gen Jackson, when he said, "I take the responsibility."— If a cowardly, dastardly spirit, was ever exhibited, it is in the Sentinel's suggestion.

ODD FELLOWS AND FREE MASONS.— The Pittsburgh Catholic, a Roman Catholic journal, has the following warnings:

The Church has condemned every secret society no matter what may be its object.

A Catholic who joins the Odd Fellows, or any other secret society, has lost the grace of God, and is no longer within the pale of the Church.

When a Catholic joins one of these secret societies, the grace of God forsakes him, and he can no longer be considered a member of the Church.

It is to be feared that the majority of Catholics who join these secret societies in a short time become infidels.

We give the above as

specimen

of the Roman Catholic's love of freedom of opinion, and freedom of action. Every man who does not believe and act as he is directed by the priesthood, every one who leaves the Church, is, for this alone, condemned as a heretic and consigned to the torments of purgatory. Let the American citizen read and draw his own inferences.

The "Democracy" and the Abolitionists in Vermont have united— defeated the Whigs, and elected an Abolition Speaker! Why should not they coalesce? President Pierce looks with equal favor upon Disunionists South and Abolitionists North, if they only threw up their caps for the Administration.—Evansville Jour.

The State Sentinel, will of course, think that this union is wise and judicious fNo thundering anathemas against the Vermont Abolitionists will burden his columns.

-DCf* Miss Sarah Jane Clark, being known as Grace Greenwood, was recently married to Mr. Lippincott, of Washington city, who is connected with the National Era.

DCP Putnam's Monthly for November maintains the high character secured by its previous numbers.— Among many other fine articles, it contains one from the inimitable pen of the author of the Potiphar letters. The letter is descriptive of a visit of Mrs. Potiphar and family to Paris, and touches off in fine style the senseless American imitators of Parisian manners.

To the ladies we recommend the perusal of the article entitled "The American Ideal Woman," as containing many valuable thoughts and suggestions, which should be carefullly pondered.

This work has had an almost unparalelled success, yet is it deserving a still wider circulation and more generous support.

These reports are doubtless to be taken with some allowance, yet we fear much was said and done disgraceful to the profession. Such debates have but little tendency to elevate or improve the profession.

Father Gavazzi in Cincinnati. MR. EDITOR:—In as much as this city has recently been the seen of considerable excitement, resulting from an attempt on the part of Roman Catholic influence to silence a Protestant minister, you, as well as all who are truly interested in the prosperity of civil and religious liberty, will be interested to know that the efTort refcred to has rebounded, and is now falling with rather uncomfortable force on the heads of those who originated it. Father Gavazzi, the Italian exile, whose voice neither the tyranny of Papacy in his own country nor Romish Mobocracy this side the waters, could silence, has been invited to deliver a course of lectures in the city on the features and tendency of Catholicism.

His first lecture was delivered this evening in Sniith and Nixon's Hall. Although Miss Lucy Stone was speaking in Melodeon Hall to a large audience, long before Father GavaZ' zi came out on the stage, all the seats and both galleries were filled. But the veteran came forward at last, greeted with an applauding welcome.

He has the appearance of being near fifty years of age—is, I should think, more than six feet high, well proportioned,*and could hurl a javelin as well as thrill an audience. His costume is Italian an ample cloak worn over a dark colored tunic, the tunic being girt about the loins. On the right breast of the undergarment is a figure wrought somewhat in the shape of a cross which however he took occasion to explain to the audience as being no relic of. Papacy, or indication of sympathy with it, but hia country's ensign—"To him and his sympathizing countrymen what the stars and stripes are to an American." I have spoken of the man, his appearance and dress, and delayed on- this, because it is all of the evenings performance of which I can give you any adequate description.

His subject was the opposition of the Pope to the Bible, proving it to be »u opposition growing of neces

sity from Papal dogmas. After showing it up in a very conclusive manner, quoting from His Holiness' interdictions, he illustrated the papist's necessity, thus—"Light and darkness, fire and water, God and the sinner, the Bible and the Pope can never dwell together."

He then lifted the mask which Catholicism has put on in order to accomplish its ends in our country, viz: taking away the Bible and consequently the religious toleration which had its origin there, freedom of conscience and every thing else that distinguishes America from priest-ridden Italy.

With an indignation worthy of a man who had suffered for the truth, and with the truth, he held up to ridicule the priest commanding silence and inaction while Christ said "Search the Scriptures," the priest closing the eyes of his victims, while Christ (of whom the priest claims to be the representative) is opening the eyes of the blind, the priest stopping at the clause—"Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from sin," while Christ taught his followers to add—"For thine is the kingdom" fcc also the Pope, Cardinals, Arch Bishops and Bishops, after having stolen one of the commands from the decalogue, hammering on those that were left to discover which would split with the most facility. He yielded to the Church of Rome the monopoly of manufacturing a truth and a lie from the same material, and making them perfectly coalesce then concluded by a touching and impressive charge to all the friends of liberty, that since "they were neither subject to the apostle Peter nor any of his successors, but children of the illustrious Washington, they would cherish and preserve unmutilated the Book which he had consulted in the perils of the revolution." His energy, his eye, his varied tact, indignation and commisseration, logic and irony, with a somvvhat nervous gesticulation, render him a very powerful speaker. To the above qualities must be added a heart warmed and filled with the power of a system of truth, which, perfect in itself, makes the lookers thereunto strong, to a degree of which errorists are ignorant.

BALTIMORE,

Oct. 28, 8 p. m.—The

Washington Star publishes a letter from Judge Bronson, defending himself from the charges made against him by Secretary Davis that he had been an advocate of free-soilism, and had advanced free-soil sentiments in a letter addressed to a Van Buren meeting-in 1848. He denies that he ever had more than one opinion, or had acted in more than one way in relation to the slavery question. He contends that in the letter referred to he declined free-soil associations and opposed free-soil opinions, and concludes as follows: "On the mere constitutional question the opinion was expressed that Slavery could not exist where it was not authorised by law, and consequently that if the master removed

with his slaves into a state of territory, the slaves would be free. Whether that Opinion,

far as relative to the

territory of the United State*, was well founded, is a question which may at some time be considered by our courts of justice, and by their decision I shall abide. But as yet I have seen no reason to change my opinion on the subject, and shall not, therefore, invoke the aid of the compact of 1852 to cover up any old heresy in poli tics.

The cholera has subsided at St. Petersburg. The demand for shipping is unabated. Freights are higher than ever.

The London Times says the Turkish manifesto is "one of the strongest and most unanswerable State papers issued during the present century."

The Post says: "Morally, Russia is already defeated she will be so materially."

Hostilities on the Danube and shores of the Caspian sea are inevitable.

Despatches from Vienna to the 17th say that Gratschoff had replied to the Turkish summons that he had no authority either to commence hostilities, make peace, or evacuate the principalites, and therefore refused to do either. ADDITIONAL BY THE ARCTIC.

NEW YORK,

Austria and Prussia have recalled their subjects from the Turkish service.

Great agitation is manifested in Italy. Two hundred political arrests were made in Paris on the night of the 16th. Among them is M. Goudchaux, Minister of Finance, under the Provisional Government.

The Turkish declaration of war is published in full. It is a temperate but high-spirited document. It says there is no embargo on Russian vessels, and fully protects the rights of commerce.

France is quiet. There hr.s been no shipment of troops.yet, but there is great activity in the navy yards.

The Free Soil traitors ofNew York have been compelled, to use the expressive language of John Cochrane and Isaac V. Fowler, when they returned from the Syracuse Convention, "to dive for the time being" There has been no change of principle.— There has been but a jesuitical trick. Take note that not one of the "organs" of this faction has said a word in defense of the principles of that platform since it was adopted at Syracuse. Take note that the Evening Post, which is the leading organ of the Van Buran faction, says: "The rule laid doivn by Mr. Guthrie—that of adherance to the Baltimore platform—is disgracefully illiberal of itself." —Miss Caroline E. Putnam, of Salem, Mass., has announced to the public that she has adopted the pro* fession of a barber, and will take the beard off gentleman's chins at the rate of 6 cents the mug.
