Ho man iiH his senses ever for one moment believed that the citizens of Louisville—famed for their chivalry of feeling, and quick perception of what is right—intended to injure a foreign population, because they might ^'disagree with them on political subjects. No ^honestman ever thought that there was a concerted plan concoct/d by the citizens of that city, to keep the foreign voters from the polls.

None but demagogues say so, and they do not believe it—none but political charlatans think ao, and their self-conceit and devotion to party, is the caui'e of the erroneous impression that controls their brain.

This prating of the Old Line orators and Old Line preMH about the "murdering of nocent women snd children—the burning of the houses of the poor—the shooting down f..r eigners in did blood," Ac., Ac., is but the trick of the empiric—if the political mountebank. committed to memory and stereotyped by the press, to excite the passions and deceive the masse*.

The Louisville papers are again hunting up evidence in relation to the origin of the recent riot* in that city.

And in pursuance of the same kind and benevolent design, namely, to preserve our happy constitution, I shall endeavor to confirm the substance of that tract by a few plain arguments.

With persecution I have nothing to do. —I persecute no man for his religious principles. Let there b*i as boundless freedom in religion as any man can conceive. Bui this does not touch the point. I will set reliyion. true or false, utterly out of the question. Suppose the Bible, if you please, to be a fable, and the Koran to be the word of God? I consider not whether the Roman religion is true or false—I build nothing on one or the other suppositions. Therefore away with all your commonolace declamation about intolerance ami persecution for religion! suppose every word of Pope Pitis's creed to be true—suppose the Council of Trent to have been infallible. Yet I insist upon it that no government not Roman Catholic ought tn tolerate men of the Roman Catholic persuasion.

I prove this by a plain argument (let him answer it that can —that no Roman Catholic does or can give seccurity his allegiance or peaceful behavior. 1 prove it thus: It is a Roman Catholicmaxim.esLahli*hed not by private men. but by public council, that "No laith is to be kepi with heretics."

Again, those who acknowledge the spirit*il poWer of the Pope can give no security for their allegiance to any government but all Roman Catholics acknowl edge this therefore, they can give no security for their allegiance. The power of granting pardons of all sins past, present, and to come—is, as has been for many centuries, one branch of his.spiritual power. But those who acknowledge him to have this spiritual power, can give no security for their allegiance, since they believe the Pope can pardt rebellion, high treason, and all other sins, whatsoever The power of dispensing with any promise, oath, or vow. is another branch of the spiritual power of the Pope all who acknowledge his spiritual power must acknowledge this. But whoever acknowledges the dispensing power of the Pope, can give no security lor any allegiance to any government. Oaths and promises are none they are as light as air—a dispensation makes them all null and void. Nay, not only the Pope but even a Priest has power to pardon sins? This is an essential doctrine of the Church of Rome. But they that acknowledge this cannot possibly give any security for allegiance to any government. Oaths are no security at alt. for the Priest can pardon both perjurv and high treason.

Setting their religion aside, it is plain upon principles of reason, government ought to tolerate men teho cannot give any curity to that government for their alit glance end peaceful behavior But this, no Ro manist can do. not only while he hold* that "no Jaith it to be Jcej4 with heretics."' bmi long as he aclnotciedge-i either pritstiy ab$o Itttion or the spiritual power of the I*ope.

Tbe Jearnal af Friday. We have felt bad ever since we read the article in the Journal of Friday, headed with our name,—we "don't" like, Bro. Mac, that you should insinuate we made an onslaught upon Old Lineism too soon—before we "were warm in our nest"—it seems to imply that we are not a modest man—that is our tender point, so do not refer to it again.— "Modesty is a quality that highly adorns a man, you know. Say that we pertert the truth—teach false doctrines—pl»y the dmagogue—ain't honest and all those little epithets -—but do not say we were premature in expressing our opiuions—don't oh don't, say we are wanting in respect to our dear democratic friends.

You think our hostility to the Old Liners is, because "they have denounced the organiza tion whose bigoted and intolerant tenets would create an unconstitutional religious test for office—because they have denounced an organization which proposes, under the delu ding and tempting cry of 'Americans shall rule America,' to establish that none but those born in this country shall enjoy the rights of citizenship."

We are hardly "warm in our nest" yet as an editor of a public journal—wc have been giving our attention to the politics of our State, only for a few days over one week, but young as we are, we throw down the glove to the edi tor of the Journal, and challenge him to produce one paragraph—one sentence—one period, or one line takeii from any Republican or American paper in this State, in which the doctrines refercd to by him, are advocated. We throw down the glove, and ask him to show us when, and where, the American party of this Stale, ever said they were in favor of restricting the ri«ht of the elective franchise to those alnne born in this country." These assumptions, and misstatements, trumpeted all over this State by the Old Line press, we desire to see substantiated by proof, or let the brand of untruth, sear aud burn upon their fore-heads.

The truth is—and the people will soon un derstand it—the Republican party havs advocated from first to last, the most unbounded religious tolerance,—the perfect right to worship in any manner, or at any time, that the citizen's conscience prompts him to but they say, while the spiritual influei.ee exercised by the Tope over the Catholic Church, is a matter about which they have nothing to do, still, when that potentate seeks to exercise a temporal influence—endeavors to control the wishes of his people, when they go to the ballotbox, then, and to that, the Republican party putin their solemn objection. We think ihis is a land of the greatest liberty, where the individual citizen uncontrolled by anyone—uuinflueuce by either Pope or Priest, should exercise the right of a freeman.

Can ihe editor of the Journal understand this? The truth is—and we hnpo the people will soon understand it—the Republicans are op posed to that "old line democratic" doctrine, whtcli-gives a rureispu-f ii^ rish»*.. l„„tf be/ore he is a citizen of the United States—but after they are here, a sufficient time to become familiar with our institutions—time to have at least read our laws—-to exchange congratulations with our citizens—to become in truth and in fact, American citizens, th\n, and not until then, we are in favor of throwing open our Republican doors, and asking all to ent r.

We boast, and are willing that this country shall be a home for the appressed of every clime, but we do not desire to make it a lazarhouse where the felons—the paupers and the cast-off's from all Europe shall be sent. Wt aro willing to receive the poor and the needy, and give them a hearty welcome, but we are not disposed to suffer this fair inheritance, to become a great "Botany bay," and the last heritage of free men, to become a scoff and byword for the world.

Arrival of the Halifax and Bremen Steamers.

TEKItlFIC SL Vl'GHTEIt. NEW YOKE, Sept. 2. The steamer America arrived at Halifax at eleven o'clock this morning.

The Bremen steamer Wa*hingt8tf arrived off Sandy Hook at 12 o'olock M. The Collins steamer Pacific arrived out at noon on the 15th.

The city of Sebastopollfell on the 8th inst. after a bombardment of three days, and six repulse* of the French before MalakofF aud one repulse of the Englisn before Redan.

The-slaughter was terrific: 2,030 English and 14,000 French were killed. The Russians lost about the same number, making the total killed upwards of 30, 00.

The Russians evacuated the town after blowing up the defenses, sinking the ships, firing the town and leaving nothing but a mass of 8mourldering ruins. Five French Gsnerals were killed, including Bosquet.

A large allied force was inarching to the coast to intercept the retreat of the Russians Inland.

The allies captured immense matreials of war. It is reported that the allied Generals have orders to demand the surrender of the Russians unconditionally all troops, defences, stores. Ac., including Odessa.

Liquor Prosecution.

Dr. Pence was tried before Esq. Hnrper, by a jury of twelve, on Saturday last, for violating tne Liquor Law, in selling mixed and drugged liquor to one Patrick Malooney. The evidence sho ed that tile "Liquor" sold was some Tonic Bitters, with a strong solution of Quinine in it, his usual prescription for the Ague, and that the aforesaid Patrick was under the treatment of the Doctor for that complaint at ihe time of the sale. The case shared the usual fate of all the liquor prosecutions commenced in the city. The defendant was acquitted, and the county came in for about $36 in cost—T.H Journal.

Are you right certain, Bro. Mac., that the county had to pay $30 cost in the above suit? —as a lawyer, are you quite sure of that,oris it only a reckless, careless way you have of showing your opposition to the Liquor Law.

We took a moment's leisure and looked into the docket of Esq. Harper, in this case, and found the whole amount of fees were just $r8,50—$11,50 less than what you guessed at. But suppose it was more or less, is there any doubt about the county being responsible for the costs? Is it clear, tho county treasurer hat to pay them ?—or is it not rather an Old Line assumption—a little odium you intended to castjipon the Liquor Law.

By the way, will the Journal be so good as to inform us—as a matter of personal favor— upon which side of this liquor question it stands? We may want to brake a lance with you, and we do not wish to let our visor down, aud then find a friend before us

The county, however, does not have to pay one cent of the above fees not one farthing: and there is but one class of cases under the Indiana Liquor Law, where the county is responsible for the costs—those cases wc will, sometime, point out, lor Uiu euincatiuTTTrf the r«» ders of the Jour mil.

We the undersigned, citizens of Massachusetts. believe in the sentiments and principles of the American party, as ex pressed in the platform adople-l at a meeting held in Springfield, on the 7lh of Aug.

They have no confidence in the political integrity of very many of those who are seeking for a fushion of parties in the single issue of opposition to the extension of slavery but ihey believe that theirhope and desire is to betray the American sentiment, and to give a death blow to the American party in the Slate. ••They therefore respectfully invite all those who believe thai ••Americans should rule America," and who desire to perpetuate the sentiments of the American party tti mcetwi their c.wuuru.1 oit.ina nnd tOWHS, and elect delegates in ihe proportion of three for each representative on valuation year loan American Convention, to be holden in Boston on Wednesday, the 3d of October next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for State officers, lo be voted for at the next State election."

It in tny places thirteen hundred feet below the level of the S^etli» terranean, an»l in it are situated llle Dead Sea and the Sea of Tiberias. He believv* that this ocenn. bein^ cut off from ihe Red Sea by the rise of the laud at the southern extremity, and being only fed-bv small streams, gradually became dried by solir evaporation. He proposes to cut a canal of adequate sixo from tlie head of the Gulf of Akaba to the Dettd Seu. and another from the Mediterranean, near Mount Carmel, across the filaln BsdraeU to the fissure in the mountain range of Lebanon. By ihis friends the ^fedi^efrnnean would rush in. with a fall of thirteen hundred feel, till up ihe valley, and substitute an ocean of iwo thousand square miles in extent for a barren useless desert thus making the navigation to Indiaas short as the overland route, spreadiug ferlilily over a now arid country, and opening up the ferule regions of Palestine to settlement and cultivation.^ ,»!»,*i
