Clark, the Catholio Prieat in that city, in relation to Ryan's so-call-ea " Catholic Resolutions." Ma. Editob: Your Daily of the 8th inst., containtag the resolutions of a few tadividuals (Irishmen) of Indianapolis, calling on the Catholics of the different ountiea of this State to organita themselves into a polilieal body for the specious purpose of opposing Ko-suth aad intervention theories, and also your own criticism on ihose resolution I will assart then that those rssolulions are as unacceptable and uncalled tor, under every atroumstance, on the part of the Catholio of this State, aa your eriticism is out of place and puerile. Motives different from the interest felt in the welfare of the Cathlie Church by those gentlemen, prompted them, I preume, te make the impertinent call a oall which shal. not be responded to, I will venture to say, by any county m town in Indiana. And I will also venture to say, that those gentlemen knew perfectly well when they made this call, that it would be treated with silent contempt by every sincere Catholio in the State The move, I believe, is a political one. I will also add, that when the Catholic Church in Indiana should require an advocate ar defender of her interests, it is not among men capable of framing such resolutions sho would be able to find one. Even if we could give them oredit for sincerity, we eaanot do so for knowledge, for they should know that the men of sober second thought, in every part of the Union, discard the political principles of intervention as advocated by Kossuth. .Vow in tbe face of these facts, to make such a call tesemble too much those who ara willing to enter the äsld of battle whea they know the enemy is no longer there. But enough of these men and tbeir silly resolutions. We, aa Catholios, pity the one and repudiate the other. Vow, Mr. Bditor, a word in regard to your own strictures: you tell us that religionists, whether Roman Catholics or Protestants, have nothing to do with the mission of Kossuth, with the revolutionary struggle in Hungary, or with the politics af the State or nation. I oucode that this is true, and it is by adhering to these very principles, which you lay down to guide churches, wuerem lauii is lounu against tue viiiuouu vuuitu. Since the first day when Kossuth landed on our shores, for the purpose of exciting the government and the people to adopt a policy contrary to that which they have aver held, I cau assert without the fear of contradiction, that she (the Catholic church) has never opened aar doors for the purpose ef discussing this momentous , anestioQ pro or con, and lor this very reason see has Wast taxed for a want of sympathy for Hungary. That is to say, a want of sympathy with those who wish to overthrow the sacred maxim of neutrality in the afiairs f foreign nations. It is true there have been a few individual Catholics, not mora than six, I believe in all, who have put forth to tbe world their opinions that it would be safer for the nation and more to its interest, to hold to the ancient policy of our father's, than to adopt the teachings of Leuis Kossuth. They have spoken and written as individuals, and if they have even erred in this, I weald not suppose the Catholio church responsible for the error. Allow me to remind yoa. Mr. Editor, the', this has not been the case in regard to Protestant churches and Protestant ministers, as is evident to all who bavo read the newspapers of the day which have reported their proceedings Protestant churches have been thrown pea to foreigners, agitating a policy which would overthrew principles always adhered to by the government and exeoutive of this country. Those walls which should eebo only the peaceful words of Jesus Christ resounded with the din of arms and aanitions of war, and hundreds of ministers, forgetting, according to your own artociples, their peaceful calling, ascended the platform af demagogues and offered incense, at tbe shrine of a foreign agitator, trying to overthrow the settled policy ef the nation. Yoa have not, sir, denounced these men nor their interference with polities, and yet, according So tbe priaciples you lay down for churohes to be guided by, yoa should have done this, if impartial. Whether there may bo a tendency in other quarters I will not say, of linking tho Church and State to the same GovernsaeRt ear; I can, however, assure you, Mr. Editor, that the Catholics have entertained no such idea. While I remain your most humble servant. M. J. C. That tho intelligent members of the Catholie Church weald approve of any each resolutions as Ryan was indnood to publis'i, we never, for a moment, believed. That tho movenient was a political one, and prompted by motives different from tho intereet felt by those who got it ap ia tho welfare of the Catholio Church, as oaorfod by Mr. Clark, no one can doubt. Tho Whigs wko wore at tho bottom of it, knowing that tho chance of eloeting their candidates in this State was hopeless without aa extraordinary effort on their part, got up khooe resolutions, in what, is now plainly to be sscd, the osOm hope of humbugging tho Catholic voters, as a body, eto tho support of their nominees. This short-sighted policy did not have its desired efleet, for instead of be mg responded to by similar resolutions on tbe part of the V a the I ics in different parts of the State, as the Whig asadora hoped aad requested, tbe only response they have yot mot is tho eommuoioatioa of Mr. Clark, who is a io tho Church, aad that is anything but satisfacto them. That Mr. Clark's views accord with tho toolings uf tho intelligent and honest members of the ..'atholie Choroh we cannot permit ourselves to doubt; nor oaa we doubt that in equally indignant language will all Cttiosu responses bo made to theae Whig result:Taia movement, ooaooetod by the Whig leaders with so mach earo, and from tho working of which they so oooldontly hoped to effect the defeat of tho Democratic party ia this State, having proved such a decided failure, oi ooaroo some other means must be resorted to to elevate the prospects of Whiggcry in Indiana. Let tho Pesnooratio party ho sa tho look-oat desperate men oeert to desperate snosuss, and we shall aot be surprised at aay moaearao the Whig leaders may adopt to advance heir party cads.

In answer :o the above call, we "produce" the fol lowing resolutions adopted by the whigs of Wayne coun ty Rt a public meeting held by them on the 27th day of lt number, of which D. P.

All the interven tion the democrats have ever proposed is to ''protest against the interference ef any third power for tho purpose of crushing the onward march of liberal principles," and to "oppose such interference by all tbe proper means within the power" of tho nation. Is the Journal satisfied in regard to the whigs of Wayne county? We know of only one man in this State who has actually proposed and advocated armed intervention by the United States in the affairs of Hungary, and that man is the Hon. G. O. Böhm, whig representative from the county of Tippecanoe. This gentleman, when the Senat Munt resolution inviting Kossuth to vi it Indianapolis, was under consideration in the House, on Monday the 22d day of last December, advocated "not only moral but physical intervention in oae Russia should again interfere to put down Hengary," and thought that Indiana could raise "100,000 of her own sons" to flght , j l ii , l in such a cause, and that it would bo tho duty of the United States government to send these sous of Indiana I to Europe to do battle against the Russian bear if they i ii, j. i . m . . should bo needed. Was not Mr. Behm representing the men who eleeted him Death of Hon. J. C. Holliday. We regret to learn that Hon. J. C. Holliday, Representative from Blackford county, died at his lodgings in this city on Friday evening, 12th instant, about 7 o'cloek. Mr. Holliday was a lawyer by profession, and a gentleman of great moral worth. He served in one of the Indiana regiments a campaign in Mexico, and we understand his health since his return has been very feeble. IT We commend tho following article from the Louis ville Journal to the consideration of "extremely prudent' whijjs in this city, who seem to think that Kossuth is the " :.L 11 i. J I i it r .ii .

Both of these impulsive and reckless individuals openly proclaimed the highest admiration for Kossuth and for bis genius and devotion to his couutry, and even went so far as to wish with all thir hearts the speedy redemption of Hungary from the bondage of Austria. They are also guilty of the crime of wishing every despotism leveled to the dust before the resistless energy of the democratic masses of Europe.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, ISM. ET" We shall not permit the n Sentinel" to make any false issues with us. Indiana Journal. The above paragraph is the commencement of an article in the Indiana Journal that contain? more misrep resentations of tact, than we have ever before seen in the same number of lines in that or any other paper, and this is saying a great deal. The Journal, in that article, boldly charges Governor Wright with advocating " an alliance with England to prevent, by physical farce, any interference on the part of Russia, in any future struggle between Austria and Hungary." Gov. Wright took no such position; and the Editor well knew he did not, when he penned the charge. Against such wilful perversion of facts it is useless to contend. He charges the Editor of this paper. h paraxon, with savins that " äs an. . , WM o tr American bayjnets gleaning along tlx wih bayonets gleaming along the wild cataracts ot the Danube." This charge Defrees copied from the qaiMical effusions of Timothy Tugmutton. a ... , 7 . " weU known wr"er for tn Locomotive, whose eflorts are known to consist in tarniog every thing into ridicule that transpires in our city.

The Editor says he has never changed any of his views on this question (meaning, we suppose, his views , with regard to Washington's Farewell Address). He follows no new lights, fee. Now this is really funny, in jtlt r.in i nian uho nominated John McLean for the Presidency, t the Philadelphia Convention, and chRnged his mind so as to vote against him before the vote was taken. We think that change was equal in rapidity to the magnetic . . . t o V In the next paragraph he says: " We have never given utterance to any opinion for the purpose of securing the Catholio or any other vote to the Whig party." The Journal, for the last ten days, has contained scarcely anything else than articles xnttndtd to deceive Democratic Catholics into giving Whig votes against Governor WDen 8 llot new lD-- OTr- Mccarty bad voted for the resolution inviting Kossuth to this State, I mir L .

It was a praiseworthy act in Mr. McCarty, in thv opinion of the Journal, but should prevent Gov. Wright from obtaining Catholic votes The next paiagraph states ' The Sentinel seems to be fearful that Got-. Wright will fall a martyr to the u-iion of Church and State .'" The Sentinel has no such fears. In this country, where religious liberty is one of our fundamental doctrines, there oan be no danger of such an issue. Any party that attempts to gain votes by making such an issue will lose more than they will gain by it. Ho next charges the Democratic party with electing Catholios as Trustees of the State University, from improper motives. He had hoped that the persons preJ sented, although eminently well qualified for the station, would have been rejeoted, when, no doubt, he and his ! followers would have made the welkin ring with their I tlairo moro "umu Vneer ia "en. "8 na'e ' heard of the stick that was so crooked that it would not j lie still for a moment, thus forming a perpetual motion, ' Defrees can boat that slick all hollow. The new Mississippi Senator. The Legislature of Mississippi recently elected Mr. W. Brooke, a Whig, to the U. S. Senate. He was tbe candidate of the Union party, and owes his suocess to the united vote of the Union Democrats and Whigs. Yet, notwithstanding such was the fact, the Scott journals at once claimed his election as a Whig triumph. All of a sudden the Whigs have discovered a " mare's i nest." Scott's views on the Compromise question do i not suit Mr. Brooke, therefore, in duty bound, they ; change front and express doubts as to his being of the : ' true faith." The Cincinnati Gazette, speaking of Mr. Brooke, ! says i " He passed through Cincinnati a few days since to Washington, and has been presented to the public con sideration as a young man ot forty, of the highest order of talents, whose voioe would be heard in the advocacy j of great Whig truths," a man of "steady devotion to Pcinles," a Senator of whom Mississippi should be proud. This sounds well, but is there not some mistake I , tne matter? The Locofocos set him down as " a Whig I of the Mississippi sort." What sort is that, you may ! ask? 1 he on,y. reP,v we can 8lve ,ouna 10 t,ie lollowine letter, published as one read to the Legislature by Mr. Adams, a member, before his election: " Henry C. Adams, Est. Dear Sir: I am only able to state very briefly, in answer to your note, that I certainly should not deem it inconsistent to support any other politics than those of the dominant party of the State. As to the next presidency, as I have often said to you in private. I do not expect to support the nominees of the next Whig oonvention, because I fear the convention will not be sound on the compromise issues. My expectation is to give my support to the Baltimore Convention ticket, provided it is not tinctured with secession, and is pledged to the Compromise measures. From present appearances, and the names of the prominent candidates before that body, I think it certain that the last named Convention will present a ticket on which the whole South will unite, and one which I will cheerfully uPPort Mv teeble health prevents me writing lurthor.

For the Daily State Sentinel. To the People of Marion County. Fellow-Citizeks: Feeling greatly indebted to you i for your very liberal patronage to me in my pursuits in i private life, from the day I settled amongst you, the 10th j i.f October. 1823, and Weins sensible that whatever i

standing 1 have acquired in public estimation, is owin; to the generou confidence reposed in nie by yon, for which I tru?t I have those feelings of gratitude which even- right minded and tight hearted man would have; j and trust I may further safely rely upon yoar approba- ( t n iu the course I now, after mature delilieration. feel . it my duty to pursue. In 1819, by your suffrages, I was placed in the State Senate. I have served the length ol time commonly allotted to one term of service in that body. The last session of my term, not yet finishes, has been greatly lengthened by circumstances unnecessary here to explain. Whilst engaged in your service in the Senate I have not presumed to be or tried to be a leader, but have endeavored to aid in carrying out everything I deemed best for the public interest and in preventing everything deemed otherwise. I (eel conscious of having endeavored to be faithful and my only regret is that I have not been able io bring to maul more ability in the discharge of my duty. Fidelity is all that I promised. Whether 1 h:tve fulfilled that promise or not is submitted to your judgment. It is scarcely necessary for me to being to your notice the fact, publicly known, that the late Whig State Convention placed my name on their ticket as a candidate for tho most responsible trust known to our State. It is alike due to you and myself to state that, whilst I trust I properly appreciate the confidence indicated by that nomination, it was the spontaneous act of that Convention as unexpected to me three days before it took place as it was unsought. It was, however, tendered under circumstances that I believe my constituents of every party will say I but acted the part of duty in accepting. I now ask and desire of you that yon will add another to the many obligations under which you have placed me, by approbating the step I feel called upon to take in resigning into your hands, as I now do, the trust reposed in me as vonr Senator. Such a measure is indis pensable to enable me to arrange my business affairs so as, with any comfort, to give a portion of tnv time and attention to the approaching canvass ; and, t feel that you can the more readily approbate my course as there is a vacation of the session till the 20th of April, giving you ample time to elect one fresh from amongst you to fill tho vacancy. With feelings of gratitude, I remain Your obedient servant, NICHOLAS MeCARTY. Indianapolis, March 15, 1852. Washington Correspondence. Washington City, March 8, 1S52. The attack by Mr. Breokenridge on tho Democratic Review, has produced a sensation; bat it has done it no harm. When a publication in a periodical attracts so much notice in Congress as lo induce members to attack the publishers and editors, it cannot but act as a stimulus to readers, and thr- Congressional notice taken of it, whether to praise or dtmn it, only serves as an advertisement paid for in rroaoy and copied into all the leading newspapers of th country. The Democratic Review lacked sound discretion when it attacked Gen. Butler in a cutting and scathing article; but Mr. Breckenridge's reply to it was scarcely more circumspect, and failed in its great object to prevent similar publications in the future. As to General Butler, it is certainly wrong in any paper os, periodical , calling itself Democratic, to expose bis pretended foibles or weaknesses; but then, on the other hand, an elaborato defence of his character and principles is taking away from tbe prestige of the hero, who ought to be above suspicion. Mr. Breckenridge, no doubt, established the fact that Gen. Butler is for the Compromise as it stands, and that is a fact worthy of comment, but the comment will rather have the effect ol alienating certain influences which would oiher-vise have operated to increase his popularity in the extreme North and South. A man is never put on the defensive but what he is obliged to admit something his enemies may carp at; and it is a question of tact and prudence, whether it is not best to let tbe press correct the errors of the press, instead of setting the press right by a regularly prepared speech in Congress. The reputation of Gen. Butler as a sound patriot and a moderate man, did not require Congressional aid; and the Review wonld, in all probability, have stopped criticising him, ;f it were not now, itself, put on the defensive, and obliged to vindicate its own character. To say that tl ) Review aims at the elevation of a particular candidal a for the Presidency , is to hazard an opinion which is neither just nor generous. The Review, like all other publications of the kind, was undertaken by the present proprietors to make money out of it; and spicy and piquant articles were supposed to attract the greatest number of readers. The Review had degenerated into a very sleepy publication, with an oooasional biography of a member or a Senator, whose admirable qualities and achievements covered from six to ten pages. From this lethargy, it was probably intended to rouse the periodical by infusing new life into it, through highly seasoned or so-called " spicy" articles. Unfortunately the Editors emptied the whole pepper Jkx at once into it, and spoiled the dish. The Review, as it is now edited, lacks tact, discretion, and finish of style; perhaps it will improve in these qualities as it grows older. The Buchanan men in Congress all from the State of Pennsylvania, and not the whole delegation at that are in great glee over the nomination of Mr. Buchanan at Harrisbnrg, by a vote of 97 to 35; though the 35 protested against the mode of appointing delegates, and did not come into the nomination at the very last moment, preferring to die in the breach to supporting the nomination of " Pennsylvania's favorite son." An effort, however, was made by nominating a leading Cass man, Mr. Searight, for Canal Commissioner; but tho Cass men, nevertheless, sat out in a huff, and should Mr. Buchanan be the candidate, it will be difficult to unite the two wings of the party in his support. The wholo Democratic majority in the State of Pennsylvania is probably leas than 3,000, out of 400,000 votes; and under these circumstances it will not do for any candidate to have more than a third of his own party against him. Mr. Buchanan holds no doubt the whole party machinery of his State in his hands; but Gen. Cass "ules in the hearts uf the people. A new candidate, such as Douglas, Lane, or Dickinson, would do better than any candidate from Pennsylvania that could be selected. UNION. Cincinnati und Indianapolis Railway. The travel between this city and Indianapolis now takes a boat here for Madwon, and thence by railway to Iudianapolis. It takes a day to perform this journey. We understand that an arrangement is in progiess to connect this city with Indianapolis by railway as early as the 1st of October, 1852, so that the travel may pass from city to city in nine hours without change of conveyance. O H. Smith's Bellefontaine rord is to be finished and run by that time from Indianapolis to Union, on the State line . Union is eleven miles from Greenville, over a level country, and Winchester but little farther. The railway from Dayton to Greenville will be finished and run by the 1st of May, and if the line from thence to Winchester or Union can bo made by the 1st of October, lines of railway will take the travel from this by Dayton, Greenville, and Smith's road to Indian- ; apolis. The Oreenville company can provide the iron j and accomplish the work, provided Cincinnati and Dayton will each raise a small sum to grade and bridge this short pioce of road, an J this it is s.ppoed, they will ; at once do. by the purchase of a profitable rate of ini vestment, the convertible 7 per cent, bonds of the com pany, or oy subscriptions to tne stocK ol tne company. This little piece of road will not only open a connection by railway with Indianapolis, Ten e Haute, Lafayette. Ac.., much earlier than will be done by any other line, but will open tho way for an early extension of railway on a very direct line to Fort Wayne, and all north-eastern Indiana. The importance of this to the business of the city will be obvious to every man of business. A little material aid to the little work abovo named will ensure its completion within the time named, and pay well.

[From the New York Tribune.] Oregon and Emigration Thither.

A correspondent desires some facts in relation to Oregon. He wishes to know what the country is and what are the advantages and disadvantages of emigration thither. It is a large subject, for which we have but small space, and can only utter a few statements very concisely and in order. First, of the country itself. Oregon embraces about 350,000 square miles. It is divided by two ranges of mountains parallel with the Pacific shore, into three belts or sections. The first, or H estern Oregon, is from 100 to 150 miles in breadth, and contains 45,000 square miles, of which only an eighth is fit for cultivation. Its climate is not especially favorable te agriculture; the mean temperatura is 54 degrees Fahrenheit. It has rather a rainy season than a winter, and in the year 14H at Oregon City, 45 deg. 20 mm. north, the ' wf not more tnan tnree-quarters ol an inch thick during 11 I ha tiMnlAf Tki. i. .....11 ol 1 J .( r .... vbav w iibws . ins ir"imi is won will in i tu " Liif" riYrfs are rich in fish ; there is some coal and lead ; good flax is grown . and near the base of the mountains grain flourishes finely and the grazing is admirable. In this section lies the valley of the Willamette, a tributary stream of the Columbia, which is the most beautiful and fertile tract in Oregon. The second section, between the mountain ranges, is of equable temperature, and the harvest is ripe in June. Its soil is a light sandy loam in the valleys rich alluvium, and barren on the hills. Tbe third section, between the second range and the Rock j mountains, is a broken and bare country, almost unex pi -red. 1 he settlements are, ol course., in W est Oreoi congress giving land to settlers and emigrants, passed at the Session of lÄ49-'50. extends to December. 1853. This law gives to all persons over iS years of asre. who arrived and settled in Oregon previous to December, 1550, 320 acres of land if single, and if married 640 acres. The bill then provides that if those sinÄhali receive 160 acres of land if a single man, and if j married then 320 acres. All male minors who go to that , country and settle, and become twentv-one before Depoint oi u''panure upon tue Missouri. company ot j three men can outfit complete with one v agon and four I yoke of oxen anywhere on the Missouri or Iowa frontier for $400. They start 1st May or soon after as possible, and reach Oregon by 1st to 15th August. Last Spring Mr. Fisher of Iowa, in company with fourteen others and four ox-teams, left St. Joseph on the 23d April and arrived at the settlements on the 27th July, with all their stock. They found the grass pretty good along the route except for 200 miles upon the Snake River. The emigration for the last year did not exceed 600 teams. The reasons of preference assigned for the land route are its health and safety, although there is always some

apprehension from the treachery of the Indians. The emigrant arrives at once in the farming districts with his teams and wagons, inured to hardships. If he goes by sea he must make outfits at California prices; and in the best regulated lines of travel, when so thronged as the California lines now are, there must always be instances of imposition and extortion. If the emigrant concludes to go across the Plains, he should buy light two-horse wagons, wide-tread and well seasoned. Oxen are plenty at St. Joseph at $45 to $60 the yoke; mules $60 to $80. A proposition is now agitating in Congress that the War Department shall provide armed escort for the protection of the Oregon emigrants. We hope these statements will give our correspondent some of the knowledge he requests. The Emigrant will see that this is rugged promise, but, like all new countries, Oregon offers him the chance of an independent career. He must rough it, and rough it again. Thera is no Californian halo to allure him. The earth is his mine and the ore is the grain and roots he takes from it. We commend to every man meditating emigration thither the following judicious remarks from a letter to <The Boston Traveller>, dated Oregon City, Dec. 13, Traveller, dated Oregon City, Doc. la, 1851: "Were the industry and economy of New England transplanted to Oregon, golden fruits would be rapidly realized. <Yet Co secure properly> I would not advise men to leave the comforts of that good land and encounter all the difficulties of a new country. But if they will come to help us in planting and sustaining such constitutions as are now the glory of New England, we say with heart and and voice, come: come speedily, and we will give you our right hand and a glad welcome " ----- ----->The editor of the Republic thinks he sees the De- mocracy divining between economy and the spoils. He sees a false vision.
