STATE HUniTS DKMOl l!AT. From tho Eonor (( !.) Pemocrat. rt'IITAISl vs. CVTllOLlliSJl. Our neighbor of the HernM. in his is tuc of last week, devotes a long and labor ed editorial to the abuse of the Democrat, under the head of " Catholicism Puri tanism " The article scorns familiar. It reads very much like an extract from the blackguard speech made in this city last fall by a notorious little pulpit demagogue. At all events, it has ail the coarseness ind mendacity which characterize the ef- fusions of that dirty and despicable class of religious hucksters. But we are ad monished to " answer not the fool accord ing to his folly," and therefore shall not follow his billingsgate style. The writer accuses us of endeavoring to array one tlass of religionists against another, is on Jjolitical grounds." This comes with ex ceeding bad grace, considering the source. Has the writer forgotten the religious his tory and teachings, of his own church ? Does he not know that the Abolition fa natics of the North tire those who have arrayed iu hostility one class of religionists against another, on jtolitical m-Mi;it('..?" Yhy is the Methodist church split in twain at this time, and who brought the division f Every man of ordinary in telligence knows that the Aboliiiou treaehere of that denomination at the Worth divided the church, on the slavery question. Thev are the guilty nai ties. and yet their Black .Republican worship-1 crs now have the unblushing impudencef to. charge us with following in their infa mous footsteps. And why? Because wc denounce the dastardly interference with the ministers of religion in the Southern; States. Because we could not sanctum; and applaud the arrest and imprisonmeutj pf Catholic priests for refusing to take tbe$ religious test-oath in Missouri. This i the reason we are sneeringly asked if our paper is a Catholic organ. We answer that it 13 the organ of Truth and .Justice ; the advocate of civil and religious liberty; the enemy of tyranny and oppression, be the perpetrators whom they may. The Catholic Church stands before the world to-day with clean hands. It has refuse 1 to bend the knee at the shrine of popular idolatry. It has taken no part in polities. Its altars never have been profaned by the noisy clamor of political priest. It has preached peace and good will to men, audi labored to bind up the wounds ami There is much more of'th? same pur- the effusion of blood in our fratricidal ) port in the article from which we have Struggle. For this we honor the Catholic 1 quoted and in the speeches of Mr. Chase thirch.

Funtanism must stand the brunt of its own misdeeds. How could xffe denounce protestants in the uame of -Puritanism? Would not every word ap ply to the Methodists, IJaptists, Unitari ans, Presbyterians the Protestants in the South- themselves the heaviest sufferers from tbeVlenioa spirit of Puritan Abolition ism? Fie upon such an idea! It is un worthy even of the writer, and God knows that ia saying a geat deal. But now, in all fairness, is there really, as the Herald contends, no hostility entertained by Pu ritanism against Catholicism? Let us ex amine into this brieSy. Massachusetts is the representative State of New England. It is the hot-bed of Puritanism. How has that old Pilgrim Commonwealth treat ed foreiga-born citizens, the great mass of whom are Catholics ? Through the elect ive franchise she has tried to degrade them below the negro. The foreigner most remain seven years in the country .before he cau vote there, while the igno--frant black has the ballot placed in his band within two years. Again, the re collection of the attempt to disgrace the Irish military compan'ei by the Puritans baa sot faded from memory. They were disarmed in the city of Boston, as the j reader doubtless well knows. Then, too, that little a2air of the Ursuline Convent, tCharlestown, iu the same State, is not wholly forgotten. There the Puritan ruf fians burned down the Convent because it was a Catholic institution, end drove out the priests, nuns and children with brick batsand oatha. No interference, was made by the authorities with the rioters ; com pensation has never been made. The tri al of the villains was a farce, and they es caped unpunished. This was in 1834. The same year the Catholic church in Burlington Vermont, shared a similar fate. At the city of Philadelphia, four years later, the Puritan spirit broke forth in all its mad fury. Catholic churches were burned and Catholic citizens mobbed in the -streets. Then we come to the Kfiow-Nothin'f, organization. That pro ecriptive party was also hatched- out in JIassachusette, and carried every New England State. .Marching in triumph -over Catholic rights wherever the Puritan element exercised its baneful influence, it reached the warm-hearted people of the ent Old. Dominion. There it found a in the path. Gov. "Wise, at the head of the Democracy of Virginia, aslavehold ing State, struck the monster to the earth, -and rolled back the tide of fanaticism. In dditioa to these we have the declaration of ex.-Vice President Hamlin, another representative of New England, that " The Irish. Catholics, having destroyed their own country, came bere to destroy anoth er, and tul they teared was competition from the negro." Couple this with the assertion of the New York Times, Sew- rdTB Abolition organ, .slavery abolished, the American people will have time to at tend to Catholicism in the United States. krery ,and Popery are twin Telics of bar barism."; Besides all this, we refer to the aumerous declarations of Abolitionists r--g the war, that the votes of the nc j 3 were "Deeded to offset the ignorant i , ..piers ; and also to the proceedings of the religious convention held in Ore gon a few months since, at which Catholi isra was openly warred upon. And, to close with, -we cite the dragging of priests! io prison at this time for refusing to take the Abolition, test tath in Missouri. If there is do hostility no antagonism in a3 this, then we have no more to ay on Ihesabject. . .... ctj, what did the Israelites do when they erosted the Eed eea ?

How iustltic? the rebellion, and asserts that had stronger does he make his case bv Jit not been precipitated by the South. From (lie Chicago Times, Nov. I t. OUU "LOYAL" CIIIIIF Jl JSTIC i:. Our Washington dispalchea nf yester day said that Chief Justice ('have had no tified the President that he could not 're side over the Court for the trial of .left". Davis in the city of Uirhinond. na there is no regularly organ if.ed court in that city. The President being of the opinion that he could not be tried elsewhere, a general impression prevailed that he would be released, with an.uuderstanding that he shall leave the country and not return. As the rumors concerning the objections ol the ( liiei .Justice to trying him have been repeated several times, and have not been contradicted, it is probable there is something of truth in them. We need not remind the readers of the Tiines that we have mure than in timated that the record of the Chief Jin tiee would furnish abundant material tending to justify the revolt of the South, not only so far as the question of moral responsibility was concerned, but iu the enunciation of doctrines virtually avert ing the legal right of secession. John C. Calhoun has not more plainly taught the right of a State to annul a law of Congress than has Salmon P. Chase, and it will re quire a very ingenious casuist to make a distinction between nullification and se cession. The Chief .Justice is asthor- onehlv radical as Wendell Phiilin?. but has neither the eonraue nor honesty of this distinguished brain-furnisher ot'the 1 1lepuMicaU party. .. - - " confidently rely upon an acquittal it ar thrown off by the North before the lapse of many years." Davis and his associates therefore anticipated but a short time the intentions of the Chief Justice and those acting with him. With such a 'record, it is not surprising that he should make " a thcrough and careful examination" to di-cover reason why he could not preside at the trial of Davis. It is even less surprising that he should Cud them. We cm imagine with what feelings lie would listen to the pre sentation of authorities by the courteous but remorselessly logical O'Conor, assisted by the wily and sagacious Davis, when among the eminent statesmen ef our coun try who have taught the right of seces sion and the advantages to be derived from '' a separate and peaceful existence oi the two sections," his name aud teach ings most prominently appeared. There is no regularly organized Court in Richmond, avers the " loyal," Union lovlngj learned Chief Justice. Whose business is it to organize a Court there ? It not Richmond in liis district ? is there not a United States Marshal aud Clerk there ? Is there never to be a regularly organized Court in that district ? If there is, what hinders its organization now? We can readily surmise the answer. There is no civil government there. The Pierpont go-crnment ha3 no legalauthori ty. Virginia is in the territorial condition, and an act organizing a government within her limits lias. not passed Congress. The radical "backbone" in that body is to be stiffened up by this opinion of the Chief J ustice on the eve of its assemblage. 1 he opinion is a defiance of the President and a declaration of war against his policy. It is a notice served on him by the Chief J ustice that, so tar as he can control or influence the ac tion of the Supreme Court that Court shall act against him and de clare his entire proceedings in the work of reconstruction void and without war rant in law. 1 V . i uoiic opinion, propriety, and, we think, law, demand that Davis should be tried in Richmond, and that the Chief Justice should preside at the trial. It was there he acted as President of the Confederacy during its existence. He resided there, and it was was there that he made war against the Government. There should attach to his trial all of au thority and solemnity with which it cau be invested by law, and for this reason- the people have demanded that the trial should be before the Chief Justice of the Supreme court. If it shall appear that he cannot be held to answer elsewhere, and Mr. Chase persists in his refusal to organize a court in that city, it will be for the reason we have hero given. At heart as disloyal to the Union as Davis, aud an advocate of the same principles upon which the latter relied for iustification in his treason, be shrinks from the shame of repudiating all the record of his public life, and does not dare to meet the . firm indignation which the maintenance of that record on the Bench would provoke. Added to these considerations are the hopes of an ambitious demagogue who wshes to ingratiate himself with his party, ana, the desire to retaliate upon the Pres ident who has placed his heel on the Ju dicial element to which the Chief Justice looks for further political advancement. J One of the Practical journals gravely pro poses that, Colorado, having, in making her State Constitution, rejected Negro Suffrage, sne snail, along with the Southern States, be hold in a territorial condition " until she snail be brought to her Benses," or in other words, until tho shall fully4recosnizo Sambo aV"a man and a brother.' Such would be bo the logical working ,f the radical doc trine, undoubtedly. . ... Noeretnrjr SMHrl'M N poet-It nt Au- iMii ii, isvxr l orii l no i irrnm. tau-- ot'itm l'llv'rj . John .Van Huron, in his late epeet h at Brooklyn, thus gives the history of Sec retary Sewnrd'n late speech at Auburn. New York : The Secretary of Slate of the United State. Mr. Seward, in an address which he is sai 1 to have delivered at Auburn, but which the people of Auburn tell me they never heard, laughter, which pur ports to have been delivered to tin enor mous auditory there, but which, iu fact, was onlv the subject of a very simple cor emony of fifteen or twenty people in Cov entor Seward's parlor. used some language to which shall presently call your atten tion. Knowing, as I do, the accuracy of t ho reporters for the press, I am bound to believe that they never undertook to re port what occurred on the occasion to which I refer. But 1 can say to you. from having recently visited Auburn, that this extended address, an extract from which I shall presently read, and which purports (as 1 have said) to have been delivered to a great audience; to have been received with "tremendous cheers," as the report says, and "vociferous ap plause,'' laughter, was in point of fact, set xip in the printing offices of the Repub lican newspaper press of the State, so far as they chose to publish it, while the tlovernor himself was engaged iu a cozy conversation with half a-dozen friends headed by two or three clergymen in the private parlor of his own house, toasting liis. toes at the grafe. Laughter. Now I mention this because it is in some sense an lhustration ot the peculiar character el that distinguished man. lie makes this report, of course, himself; no reporter ever did. He inserts v here he pleases vociferous npp!aue" and tremendous cheer.'' b:-.ihter. Nothing could be ni ue unsuitable iu the present gloomy state of the Covernor's household, from circumstances to which I do njt deem it necessary to refer, than anything hke ap plause or merriment; and if it were true jthit there was this tremendous approba tion and great disturbance at this time, it ' would be one of the most unseemly things I that ever occurred. Yet it never seems to suggest itself to him that there is any .'; impropriety in putting forth iu the public jgl newspapers a manufactured account of a transaction like this. Un the contrary, the report, as I have already stated, must inevitably have issued from himself. Our Thnnlisgix lug Sermon. The i'.itoh'raiiee and bigotry of Puritan ism are proverbial. The pages of history show no more c dd-blooded atrocities than those xx Inch have marked the progress of this restless class of religious fanatics. Trace their career from the bloody days of English agitation to the present hour, and it will be seen that whenever iu the old world and the nexv Puritanism rose to power it became arrogant, haughty, domineering and relentless iu its persecu tion ef all opposition. Macaulev. in his history if England, tells how they pro scribed and hunted down disbelievers with the ferocity of bloodhound?. Whining, snuffling and whimpering about perseeu- " tion, and the free worship of God, when in the minority, they in turn become the worst of persecutors on ascending to poxv er. From the days when they roasted heretics, stopped public amusements, flog ged play-aeters and cut dowu the May poles of the peasantry, in Great Britain, thev have ever displayed the same char actcristic mean, hypocritical, malignant, fanatical spirit of narrow-minded religious bigots. What foundation is there now for all the disgusting slang about the glc riou Mavllower ? the witeh-burners, the Quaker-whippers, 'and Catholic stranglers of New England. What better answer to their sclf-laudation than the fact that Catholic Maryland offered tin asylum to the outraged victims of Puritanism for a half century ? Fifty years before Puritan Massachusetts had got through torturing men and women for religion's sake, Mary land tolerated and protected all sects and denominations iu the free worship of God. And then the philanthropic abhorence of slavery ! They didn't liberate the slaves, those pious, God-fearing Puritans, but sold them to Southern masters; and then taught their children to rob the descend ants of those people of the very property they had sold to their fathers. "Hoxv well this lesson was remembered is shown by the pillaged and desolated South to-day. Certaiuly with these facts before us, we all ought to bow low before New England alters, and with the true nasal twang sing the praises of her Puritan Saints. The Etueridqe Trial. The special correspondent of the St Louis Republican, who was employed to report the proceed ings of the military mock trial of Emer son Etheride, for that paper, says : Your correspondent attended the trial of lion. Emerson Etheridge at Columbus, Ivy., yesterday, for the purpose of making a full report of the case. lie was, after be ing admitted by the court and furnished a desk, turned out of the court room and ordered to publish nothing at all about the case, because he would uot submit his report, before eending it away, to the J udge Advocate for his revision and ap- t Ti,:. j: n -i jjiuiui. j.uio tiunviuiuarj' acuOU 01 tne Commissioner, was for the purpose of sup pressing such scenes as occurred there yesterday, when the Judge Advocate, af ter teasing a witness to make him swear to what he wanted and failed, then turned upon him and accused him in open Court of perjury. Turning the reporter out was evidently for the purpose of suppressing such facts as this. Seven witnesses have teen examined in the case and the testimony of every one of those witnesses is a most triumphant vindication of Mr. Etheridge. The whole trial is a mere mockery, and if further oer- sisted in, can only bring shame and re proach upon The Government that per- mics sucn gross ana nagrant outrages up on its citizens. Kxows IIih. The loval Wendell Phillins describes the loyal General Banks as " ava-p-ant mountebank, laden with the curses of loyal men in Louisiana," Massachusetts has reason to be proud of her two pet Major Generals, Banks and Butler, one the hero of defeats, the other of blunders and cowardice, according to the official report of Gen. .Grant.

A Ituucally ISciorfr. The knavish House reporter of the Statesman last week made some remarks uttered in that body by Underwood of Lane county to read as follows: "Mr. Speaker: I at first did not expect to vote for this amendment, but since I have listened to the remarks of the gen tleman from Jackson, and the eulogy of the gentleman from Josephine, passed upon the traitors Stonewall Jackson and Robert H. Lee 1 feel it to be my duty to vote for the amendment and place the records iu proper shape. 1 should feel that I proved recreant to my duty should I let go unnoticel the base imputations of the gentleman from Jackson upon the majority upon this floor. We are told that the majority will not respect the mi nority that poor minority whose com plaints continually ring iu our ears. He boldly asserts that the majority will not vote for a proposition, be it ever so just, that conies from the minority. This is a base and false accusation, and no member upon this floor is so lost to common decen cy, or so perfectly regardless of truth that could or would make that assertion except that self constituted representative of the Democratic party that self-important, conceited representative of the chivalry of the rice swamps of South Carolina." Mr. Underwood is reported in the Ore goniau as follows : " Mr. Underwood I renew the amend ment. I could not have renexred this amendment, had that poor minority thai we hear so much about, been disposed to treat us with any respect. The gentle man lrom .lackson (and 1 suppose he rep resents his party here, for lie seems to jspf-ak by authority) is in the habit of in- snmaung mat we oppress them because they are in the minority. Now I am tired of this, for it is not so." They have been arrogant a:ii discourteous ever since we met here. I do not wish to be brow beaten or insulted by them any longer. I urn perfectly willing that they should spread upon the records their own senti ments." 1 he fact is, Underwood's language was a good deal tamer than reported in the Oregonian. Good Xijht.

A loss of 40,000 a year for two straight years offers a very slim prospect for their next years campaign. Typographical Puzzle Who can Solve it?
