Upon the Subjoct of South American
independence, and whilst speaking of the
Catholic religion, Mr. Clay said: "With
regard to their superstition, they worship
the same God that we do; their prayers
are offered tp in their temples to the same
Redeemer whose intercession we eipect
to save us; nor is there ah; thing in the
Catholic reliinon unfavorable to freedom."
But again, speaking ipon the subject of
American industry in 1825, he said: . "X
think the honorable gentleman from Vir
ginia does great injustice lo the Catholic
religion in specifying that as one of the

THE ELECTION. IN LOUISIANA.
Sevefcd of jlie KnoW jotliibjj organs
have had t effrontery to assert tt tLo
late judicial election in Louisiana was no
evidence of the political sentiments Of lie
people of that State : that no direct issue
was mad e,Tto party lines' drawn, "nd can
didates regilarfy nominatedi Ac. ' These
assertions are regiilarly met by the Lou
isiana Courieri " 'l'i'J..l l K.7
"The result of Monday's, election- has
surprised many persons, although to, soma
it was not entirely unexpected. It
is useless for the paftizansbf the 'order
to protest, as we have heard a" few of them
do, that the condlave took no part in the
contest, and Lad mV hft'nd! m. Dominating '
Mr. Merrick for chief justice andMr.Cool
ey for associate justice of the supreme
court. We have been assured on good
authority, that both these gentlemen were
regularly selected as candidates, by ballot,
of the supreme Apf6inting council," and
certain it is the Know Nothing papers . of
this city made known those nominations
to every one who read tl.em.. HotV was
it that every man in Louisiana, whether
of the prolane Or ot the initiated, became
acquainted with the name of the Kn6w
Nothing candidates? The truth is, they
were announced in the regular dark lantern
fashion orally by the members of the
order; and by oblique but unmistakeble
hints in the Know Nothing organs. The
few members who have nol abandoned the
order all voted for Merrick and Coolcy,
and wo venture to say that neither of thcrk
received half a dozen Democratic votes'
throughout tho parish of Orleans. How,
Was this unanimity of sentiment on either
side of the Question effected if the ap-
pointing power of the order had not drc-
Intel the names of their canuiJates,' and'
prescribed to the smalt portion of their,
followers still rema'iping lai.hful the duty
of vo ingfof theW?
"We have been more surprised at the'
rcfuins from Baton Rouget'ian at any 6th
er occurietica that has turned up in' this
contest. Those returns comprehend1 the
votes of nearly the whole parish,', includ
ing the village of the same name. So' far
as received the vo'cs stand Lus : Elain
u4, Ffgee 115", Merries. 35. In other
words, Merrick, the Know Nothing candi
date got 35 out of 354 votes, or not quite .
i one-tenth of the whole; and be it remem
bered that the town of Baton Rouge is
within" thirty miles of Clinton, where Mr.,
M. resides. . In ordinary times, and under
ordinary circumstances, this result tfould
be looked! upon as an' overwhelming defeat
of a party candidate a party that threat
ened the Union with subjugation f and,
tfbove all, felt stfre that they would rule
the roast in Louisiana for all time to come.
