Religion and Religious Proscdtioan.
The election of a Chaplain to the 16Ense,
seems to have been 4 pW eas.uno,'r, over
which tte 'sedmbled s wiom of Louisiand
experien ed m.h difficit y in passiug.
On theild d4ayof the *seiop~ Mr. Bsu t-a.
offered t ffoilowing lesolatioi :
uvblv", That the seealos of this lHouse
blgiLy.ity nod with praesr;-and theS Speak
bi be r:~ )eated to invi.l the clorgynen in
charge ol the several churches in Baton
Rouge, to be present alternately, and offici;te
on the occtaion.
AMr. Locoul moved to lay the said resolu
tion onthe table. A division being called on
that question, resulted in 29 yeas and 44tnays:
consequently the said resoldtion was adopt
ed
On the next day a .reconsideration of the
vote v~an had and the substitute adopted, pro
viding tfi the election of a atMl-ic Chaplain.
This substitute was proiosed by a memtber
I of the Americ5A prrty. donbtlessteor the fur
pose of repelling the eharge of Catholie pro
seription, so industriously urged gainst that
party in the last eleetic~i; .i. 'f mi6crats
were caught in the trap, but both parties l orta
a discovered that in their anXiety to conciliate
the Catholic vote, the had'actually made in
odiomu distinction between the seyretl 4e
. ligions itenomnlations in f'vor of tlte-> th
r olics aid thereby subjected themselves to the
charge of proscribiag Prolestant!a This it'
was found would never afswer, and on every
day of the session, nn~t l1ist'Thursday, all
attempts to extricate' themselves fromn the
ug nfortunate dilemma proved abortive. To
rescind the 'resolution, would exasperate the
t Catholics; to elect aChaplain rnider the'reso
lution, would exasperate the Protestints and
il North Louisiana, would operate serionsly
against the party. T'he whole matter was
finally settled by the adoption of a resolution
authorizing the Speaker to invite such cler
gynmen of Baton Rouge, as he thought proper;
to open thae louse with prayer.
This was the proper course touhave pursued
in the first instance end we cannot refrain
fromn expressing our. condemnation of that
spirit of demagogueism which would aunder
to the prejudices of on " denomin ationat the
, expense of the other, even though that spirit
may have originated with our own party. if
Anmericau principles can only be sustained by
c such a sacrifice, the sooner they are abha;
doned the better. It is unnecessary for pis to
say that we have no prejudices againat Cath
oli c, or preference for Pretu.tar ts.. But the
principle upon which we joined the Ameri
can party, was that of the largest rehgionus
liberty and no distinction .among the several
religious detnominations and on this account
alone, whatever may have been the motive
of the mover of the resolution to elect a Cath
Solic Chaplain, or the motive of those who
sustained that resolution, whiether they be
members of the' ainterican party or Demo
cratic party, w: unhesitatingly declare that
d they did net repreterr the true sentiment of
g the American pasty.
Howevet anxious, we are to' remove the
false impression that the American party of
Louisiana is opposed to Catholic religion, we
can never do so at the sacrifice of that favor
itepriiciple of our party, "Religious tolera
tion td all, favoritism to nbiu.-'
In this connection, we take pleasure in
itatirngthatour'own representative (Hon. I.
M. 'Favaor) voted upon the Chaplain reso
lttion itstriCt aecordance with the true prin
ciples of htrr party, for which we know he
will receive the approval of our citizens.

say, that Parodi's music was the height of

American gentleman writing from Paris. fur

that may grow but of the,principle enunciat
ed upom the occasion of the Koszta reelnaa
tion.' e says:
An evil is growingup iii regard to breign
ers which is goinga.lead oeoner or later to
trouble. ,Within the last two years immense
numbers of Gebrmans, Italians and French,
whose .residened in Europe was rendered un
quiet for political or other reaso.ts;have made
a voyage to the United States, declared their
intentions of becoming citizens, and returned
to Europe with their papers. As the law at
presents,atands. these are viaod by Ministers
and Consals, and these serve in mlnoi ;thtan

I saw the other. day a young man. 'from
Stuttgart who had left home but ashorttime,
his business being codiducted'by an agent doi
ring -his absence. Wdho had made a yopage to
the Unitedi States to get his "declaration of

be-ah6olved from iilitary duty in his own

'W.p Should be Speaker ?
From the Democratic Advocate of 24th,
'c an., we clip the following -questions aind
answers of Richardson and Fuller, candidates
for the Speakership in the House of Repre
t sentatives, We wish we could induce every
e Louisiaian to read these answers without
e party bias and say which be would choose.
e If these two men represent the opinions of
t two parties in Congress, which party would
t you prefer.
One tells us he has been a "Wilmot Pro
viso" man the other never advocated that
measure-One replies it, loose abstractims.
the other gin es a bold Souithern answerf direct
to the point. To the questiuu "Are you ii
favor of Slavery in the <i)tJrict of olurlbia ?
one answered no, the other, ys. Read anld
judge for yourselves.
tf Mr. lichardson replied to the series of
written interrogations proposed by IMr. Zol
licotlir, and commanded the marked atten
ie tion of the members and the audience throng
i ing the galleries. He said that dla'try
.would not go there, but he never urged that
as a reason whX he voted for the bill. As
to the constitutishality of the Wilmot Provi
- so, he voted for the principle as applirable to
s the Mexican acquisition in a spirit of corr
d promise. but it would be unjust to iucorpo
ii.,e it in a territorial bill. In his judgment,
the Constitution dloes not carry slavery intio
the territories, but protects both sections of
w the JUnion alike.
Mr. Fuller said he was ready at anyminute
to retire from the field of protracted contest.
IHe did not regard the Kansas bill na promo
tive eithier of free or slave States. and hail
r over ad vocated the constitutionality of the
\, Iniou, Proviso. Slavery exists indtepeindt
o 'lt. o, the Coos.tittitulti . Congress. there

Av ORTIOGo.arIC.-T. Conve!Toi.-.-We
have church conventions, State conventions
-men conveptiona, women conventions-,
white convelntons. black convearioans--con
v'entions for lmtno.t every purpose under the
moon, practicable, anld impracticable, escept
one for the reform of matter forever in every
faInnltinu motnth and before every masculine
v.e-we .mean a convention for relorming
l.nzbish artbography. Dictionary-makerahave
arisen. and by "much learning miade,' have
only caused contftionr to become 'wore con
f;unied. P'honeti prophets have opened
tl..:r mission, and the, universal English
reading world has stared at theirmysterious
s)ribols and funnily winked its eye-we
learned men with Easter affinities have"gone
in" for Webster--others for Worcester; while
others, l.esising innovations half carried out,
have 'teadily stuck to Johnson and Walker.
In all the ,ousequent diversities and jung
lmns, printeras--wh6 seem born to bear the,
brunt of intellectual wrangles--have been the
sutlerings party: and so, moved by comnpas
sion andl jndignation, we have taken up the
pen in their lrehslf. and have determined to
lo oar endeavour to brintg aboutt a cessation
of hostilities. Afterlong antipaitientthought
we have come to the conclusion that there
mntst be another convention. and for the sole
laudlible purpose of a reform in English or
tho graphy. Not aeoinventio niof legal, med
ical. and theological. aoetors-of professors
and authors; but a convention of well-read,
clear-headed, coinamon.sense printers--men
of large lexicographical experiep e to whom
the whole matter shall be referred, and
whose lecision shall be as final and concln
sive with respeetto the English as are the
dicta of the French and Spanish Academips
in regard to French andSpalish orthography.
And we thierefdre'..popose Utht the tl aridous
chapels of printers shonld- each srai a- ele-,
gate to an orthographical.eengitess. and let
vexed an:d vexing word become i sumbjec of
thoughtiul considlration, and the proper mode
of dividing atrd ' iding or8s lie abso
lutelyfixed. Let the' eiovntion utterly ig
