cast their shadows before," as the poet asserts experience proves, we may soon expect in this land of liberty, a mighty struggle between Popery and Protestantism despotism and freedom. A scene was enacted in this city on last Sabbath, which may well produce the most serious apprehensions. In common with all the Protestants of Cincinnati I have felt and still feel, indignant, at the outrage perpetrated on American citizens; but I will endeavor to give you a perfectly truthful statement of the
case. The Rey. Mr. Kirtland, a streetpreacher from Pittsburgh, and a convert from the Catholic Church, commenced a sermon last Sabbath, a week ago, in the Fifth street market space. In the course of his remarks he took the liberty to
speak of the errors of the party he had

weekly letters, or independent communications none have interested us more than John Smith, whose letters from Cincinnati.have appeared in our columns for some weeks. There is ease and freedom in his style chastein language, and correct in morals. Our repders.and especially the more intelligent class, look for his letters with anxiety.

Goods at Liberty. We had a personal opportunity last Saturday of examinirg the cheap and yet rich and fashionable stock of goods of Mr. A. B. Johnson of Liberty. Just
the week previous we visited various retail and wholesale establishments in Cincinnati, and we could not discover that goods could be had cheaper at that city than at Johnsons. Why should they! Johnson buys his goods at New York as well as the Cincinnati Merchants. The difference in carriage is very slight not as much ditference, however, as there is in the price of rent. Goods in all our towns can and should
be sold cheaper than at Cincinnati. Is it so! In many cases it is not. And the consequence is, the best of the country business is driven to the city. There is in almost all our towns a set of old hunker merchants pod auge r and pack saddle stand stills who are rich, and by their wealth and Dretendpd k
. w " e of business, rule the trade of the town. If some young man starts with the determination to do therighl kind of business, quick sales und small profits, he is soon brought into the traces, by threats, taunts of his soon breaking, by injuring his credit with wholesale merchants, &c. &c. Sage advice is given him, by men of enterprize, and soon he falls into their plans, and concludes to use the pod auger, a little longer. The consequence is, our county seats,
and other larger towns, where old mer
chants are located, are measurably de
serted,while the little stores at the cross roads, having no pod auger party to rule them, do a better business, than those in the places where trade should congregate. By the way Mr. Johnson tells goods,
we judge.that when he brings on a lot of
goods he does not allow the old hunkers of the town to go and look over his bills
and be told by them how he must sell
them, or receive their displeasure
there is a despotism in old merchants

He said he was from Ohio, that his father aud mother were both dead and he bad been supported and educated by a poor aunt, th.tl
order-loving Mayor now ! He is sending j a special posse of constables to protect archbishop Purcell and his party, and to prevent any interruption of their proceedings! The upshot of the whole matter is simply this a Protestant preacher quietly preaching to an orderly congregation, is pulled down by the Mayor of this city, for exposing the errors of Romanism; while on the other hand, three thousand foreigners marching through the streets on Sabbath, with music and banners, are protected by that same officer! Mr. Kirtland intends to preach again next Sabbath, at the same place; and if
he is disturbed in the enjoyment of that simple and apparent right, blaod will flow in his defence, I am not much of a warrior myself, but I think I would "shoot" in such a cause. The anti-slavery convention which assembled here last week was not very largely attended, and adjourned without having produced any sensation. Win. Lloyd Garrison was the principaf spokesman. He is a ranting Boston abolitionist of the red-mouthed, crack-brained
school. He takes particular pleasure in denouncing the church, which he hates
almost as intensely as he does the Con
stitution of the United States; his abuse
of both being as unmeasured as it is siily and contemptible. In loving juxtaposition with Garrison sat Samuel Lewis, a
local Methodist preacher, whilom a candidate for the Governorship of Ohio.
Le vis is a great orator, and I would add a good man, did not his associations suggest the inapplicability of such an adjective. I detest human slavery as much as
any one can, and would like to see it banished from the earth ; but I seriously doubt that the class of persons alluded to above will help on much in that great work. The distinguished editor of the Blooming Grove Argus, was in the city a few weeks ago, and attracted considerable attention. Timothy Thruxton Esa..
created a sensation, ami well he might; for besides being one of the best writers in the West, he is, as I happen to know, one of the most accomplished orators, also. His "Henry Clay mouth" was not bestowed on him in vain; and the only wonder with me is, that he consents to remain in the "one-horse city" from which he sends forth his humorous and witty editorials. I can't visit that relation in Blooming Grove at present, Timothy, though I doubt not his worth and amiability; but to tell the truth, with Jane Smith of Brookville, and some others that shall be nameless. I have already more relations than I like to acknowledge. A provoking paragraph is going the rounds, that the famous Mrs. E. Oakes Smith, (the strongest-minded woman in the whole family) has so miserably henpecked her husband, that the poor felfow is obliged to avoid her altogether. He was once a man of spirit and talent, and is the author of the original Jack Downing letters; but having married a cross old maid, like my cousin Jane, the Brookville "school-marm," he was compelled (poor fellow!) to surrender the
breeches.
Among the important events of the
past few weeks may be counted the
"strikes of the laboring classes, for higher wages. And among the strikers, no class has received so much sympathy as the seamstresses. I see no way to benefit this unfortunate and oppressed class of workers. Large cities are filled up with poor women, who seem to prefer
x iiv iiivv. iiii no uuiii t.c u x'x t . v - pester and other citizens of Evansville,as well as ly Col. HorKiss President of the Nashville and Henderson Railroad. The best feeling prevailed, and it adjourned with a full de ermination to prosecute their enterprise with the ut- ; most tleputch. j
I The Madison Courier doesn't like '
the call for a Democratic State Convention to be held in this city next month, and says: But the members of the late legislature who called this Convention, have other views than a mere "glorification" or "love feast." Thev hope that, col-
i lectivelv, i.ided bv the few who may at
tend it, they will gain courage to attack the Free Bonking Law; in a word, to feel the pulse of the people on this subject, ahd to do that which n tne of them have had courage or honesty to do in their own localities avow their hopes, wishes or intentions in calling upon the people to assemble in Convention in the busiest month of the year among an agricultural people.

O We were rusticating a few days since at a farm house, says a Western editor, and invited a young lady to favor us with a tune on the piano. Her music book being in an adjoining room, her brother, a young gent of some fourteeu summers, was requested to go for it. After the lapse of a few moments he returned aud placed ao egg oh the musicstand. On being a-ked what that was for, he replied that it was the "lay of the last minstrel," aud that the composer was singing in honor of her production in the fowlhouse. iLr May Is considered an unfortunate marrying month. A country editor says that a girl was asked, and not long si nee to unite herself in the silken tie to a brisk chap who named May in his proposals. The lady tenderly hinted that Mav was an unlucky month for marrying. "Well, make It June, then," honestly replied the swain, anxioos to accomadate. Th damsel paused a moment, hesitated, cast down her eyes, and with, ablush said "wouldn't April do Wall."
