"Its the country towns the traffic is well

the lowest of the foreign population, and
in the cities ull teen of decent self 'respect
have quit the business, leaving it to suo
cessors who have no character .to lose. , —
Prosecuiions have been' vigorously and sue
ceitsfully made for violationi"of the laW,
whenever sufficient evidence could be ob

more rarely seen io public than before,
and are more promptly arrested and pun
ished when seen. .There has beet' a mark
ed diminution of crimes aud disorders, ex
elusive of arrests for intoxication which
zuder the old laws were seldom te;de, but
which are now promptly attended to, thus

quite refreshing to read in these days of
partizan servility. 'The llarrisburg Union,'
edited by .Jason ZIEfILFR, well known to
the Pierce Democracy of this. county, ha,:
crushing leader in which Pierce and his
Cabinet are handled without gloves. The
Easton Jlrgtra; published at the hinne of

p::; -It his been frequently charged that
Postmaster General CAMPIIELL prosti
tutes his office by favoring Rotuanists in
his appointnionts. We see this charge
sustained in a discussion at London, Ten
nessee, between Messrs. Blackwell, An
derson and Lillard, candidate for Co
ngress, a few weeks ego. Mr. Lillard stated
that be.visited Washington City in 1853,
aid made application for the appointment
of Mail Agent on the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad, and that the Post Office
Department required of him, before it
would give him the appointment, that he
MUST promise to defend the Catholic

lerThe nomination of Arnold Plummer
for Canal Commissioner by the Conven

Buchanan trio:4h, and calls it a vile
scheme of treason, trickery, &a. The
Sunday . Dispatch says that Mr. Dimmer

PAPAL INTERFERENCE IN GOV

of the Newark "Advertiser" says circular
instructions have been received from Rome !
by the Bishops in Sardinia to resist the
execution of Ithtlaw suppressing monaster-
ics ; and the Bishops have repeated them
in instructions to the monks and clergy.
These insurrectionary appeals recommend
that the doors and gates be kept barred /
against the officers of government, and in
street the inmates to yield the keys only
to superior force. The pains of excommu—
nicatiou nro denounced against all who
yield without resistance ; but when over,
powered they are told that they may ne•
cept the compensatory pensions provided
by the law ! Some of the monks, how
ever, have more wisely resolved to reject
the life annuities, to, debilitated by long
seclusion to bear the cheerful light and du
ties of life, and to seek the asylums of their
order in other lauds. By the decision of
of the Holy See. all who voted for the law
and all (Accra concerned in its execution,
aro held to be exeommunicated from the

THE RAINY 31ONTIL—Mr. E. Mc.
riam, of Brooklyn, has published a very
interesting report of the weather for the
Month of July, commencing with the year
1789, and closing with the month just
passed; a Period of 76 consecutive years.
We learn from this Report that July of
this year, for rain, heat, and lightning,
fairly leaves its former self in the shade.
The following statement shows the years
in which the "rainy term" has.mtinued
for more than four consecutive days in the
month of July, during the long period a
bove named,:
In July, IBb3, rain fell from 23 to 28-5 days.
Iu July, 1807, rain fell from 19 to 21-5 days.
In July, 1829, ruin till from 2 to 7-5 days.
In July, 1816, rain fell from 9 to IG-7 days.
In July, 1851, rain fell from G to 11-5 days.
In July, 1855, rain fell from 19 to 30-12 days.

Americanism and Proscription
Otte of the staple electioneering devi
ces of - the opponents - of -Americanism- is t
their denunciation of the movement us a
"proscriptive" one, and to this view the
atteution of Catholics is most persevering. l
ly and beseechingly directed: The Hon.
J. J. CRITTENnEN, of Kentucky, recently
made a great speech at an innitiense Amer-(
jean dpuuonstretion in that Slate, front j
which we annex a couple of extracts de
serving attention :
Mr, C. demonstrated the necessity for
the American party, to do wttat the old
parties--elfete .alld falling to pieces as they
were—would not and could not do.
paid a glowing and, just tribute to the ma-'.
terial of the American party—a party
whirl, had sprung frotn humble private
citizens, not (ruin politicians, and the wai
-1 hers of which were all native sons of the
soil—tnen born in the land, who - had here
homes of ii, it clrilhtrud and the groves
or their fathers—whose love for their coun
try was inborn, pore and strong. and in
whose founds, if any where, the destiny of
the country would be safe.
Upon the Catholic question, Mr. C. de
clared that he was utterly hostile to im
posing any penalties, proscription or dis
ability upon any man on amount of his re
ligon. Ile hail, further, the fullest cordi•
dense in our native Catholics. He felt
sure they acknowledged no allegiance to
the Pope that was superior to their coun
try, or equal to it. But there were men,
neeredited teachers in the church, as Mr.
Brownson, for example, who taught that
Catholics did owe 'supreme allegiance to
the Pope in things-tempera! us well as re
ligous, and while he would trust native
Kentuckians to repudiate such doctrines,
be could not say as much for the European
Catholics who were coming here in such
immense numbers. Upon this whole
Catholic aspect of the question, the po•
sitton of the American party was sintp:y
this: they would not vote for nut man
who acknowledged a divided allegiance be
tween his rowan' and any foreign power.
civil or ecclesiastical, or who acknoledged
l uny allegiance to any such power superior
Ito his country. Beyond this he would not
go, nor did the order require anybody to
go beyond it. He wits not bound to re
fuse to vote for a native Catholic for office
unless he knew or had reason to belt ive
that he held such a foreign allegiance.—.
Who could say there was any proscription
in this t
Mr. C. next passed to the
_subject of a
reform of the naturalization laws. Ho
showed the immense increase of immigra
tion ; as many had arrived recently in one
year, as came in the whole of the first
thirty years of our national existence; and
that the. present rate was enough to fill up
a State as populous as Kentucky every
two years. He showed that they had al
ready 'passed far beyond the limits of our
ability to assimilate and Aniericaidze them
as they came; that they were now accum
ulating in groups, and china, and counties,
and almost States—perpetuaying their for.
eign habits, and language and prejudices,
and that thul the process of Americanizing
thorn, which was expected to be accom
plished in five years was not even coin-
menced. They had already COlllO at the rate
of a half million in a year ; at the same rate
of increase they would soon come by mil
lions ; and he impressed it upon, hie audi
ence, with an eloquence and power of argu
ment we cannot cleactibe, that. unless the
present rapid proeesS of conferring citizen
ship upon these immigrants was arrested,
the sons of the soil would soon be the rut
ed and not the !friers in their own land,
and the glorious trust of empire and • free 7
dom which we had received from our fath
era and our God would pass into the hands
of (base who knoiv nut. how to adniinster

gentleman riding in a carriage with his
wile, was fired upon at the an MIS time."—
Tlign a shower of shot and bullets wax
'Dined from some of the German houses,
on. the crowd below, and many wounded.
Armed foreittinos soon began to collect in
the vicinity, from which shots had been
ti re d. At, 0 o'clock. in Eiglith Ward,
three Americans were attacked by a mob
of Irish, with fire-Suns. One killed and
others wounded.
The Irishmen then took refuge in a
' house, from which they continued
upon the crowd, killing two A Illerienll4.
The house was' finally broken intp, the
murderers captured, and one 01 them hung.
A policeman cut him down while still liv
ing. but he was afterwarda shot, and died
thi,i morning. Meanwhile fusillade, rifle,
and gun-shots were kept up from lour
Irish houses, Oil Eleventh street, on all
passing Americans. Several were woun•
filed. The Ainericans attaekbil the houses,
but failing to dislodge the Irish, tired the
Imildinqs. By this time reinforcements
of Amerieaus arrived, with cannon and
noiskets, and sonic of the Irish were shot
in the 'burning buildings , and ethers cap
tured. No attempts were nirede to stay
I the dames. and two or three blocks were
burned. Several tires occurred in mote
parts of the city also durinkithe night.
The Amerieans had row become infuri

Times, a Democratic paper, which was
only saved from destruetion by thu efforts,
•
of Messers. Prentice, Spears and footers.
This morning there were more disturban
ces, and to II o'eloek a large mob proceed
ed to the levee and attack al a row of
Irish bottles, from which it is reported
some shots had been tired this morning : -
1 The snob is now partially restrained, and
efforts are being made to restore order
and prevent further excesses.
Stlll Later Accousitm.
Loursvthis, Aug. 7. 3 P. M.—The ci

are on dote. The mob has been addressed
by Judge Bullock and several others at the
Cmirt House, and more calmness prevails.
Large numbers of Irish are leaving the city.
Bishop Spalding publishes a card, dis
claiming any connection with the difficul
ties, and calling upon his Iloek to assist
in maintaining the peace of the City.
Tim city is note quiet, and it is thought
them will ho no further disturoanees.
The fighting was all at a distance from the
polls, and did not interfere with the elec
tion. Tile coffee' houses have been closed,
and the ember of driiiikeil men about the
streets are few in number. Tim keys tif
the Cathedral have been placed in the
hands of the Mayor by Bishop Spalding.

T ho Poliltenl Prisoners of Naples.
We have already noticed the removal of
the political prisoners of Naples from the
loathaome dungeons where they have been
languishing since 1850, to others . !tome
eight miles distant. A correspondent of
the Newark Alterlist,. says the indrgni•
ties procured towards them have remwak
vied :he sensibilities of Europe in 'their
behalf. They were heavily chained and
carted in coveredLikagene through n file of
some 4000 troops stationed along the route
as a protection against popular Sympathy.
Ono of the carte wee overturned, and sev
eral of the lettered limbs wefe broken!
.Th. history :of political tyranny does not
present an instance of more inexcusable
cruelty than the'ease of these noble mar
-tyre, whose virtues were reckoned as con•
spireeies against power: men without re
proauh, gentlemen by birth and habits,
friends and,representatives 4 the people,
patriots !o whom their sovereign appealed
in the hour of need for aid in forming a
popular government, Piterios and Setrim
brink —primus inks pares—to whom ills
honor would be a thousand times more
dreadful than martyrdom—they were wres
ted Iron their peaceful homes in the des.
patiofury of reaction, doomed to feliow
ship with the filthiest felons in prisons
swarming with vermin, denied what even
decency demands for unclean brutes, for
no other erime than o.consietent refusal to
follow a renegade King in trampling upon
the fundamentAl law of the land—the very
Constitution which he had himsef pro
claimed and sworn to maintain : for, not
withstanding all the efforts of a mercenary
police, with bribed witnesses and l'eservile
Court, no other charge wait sustained than
this simple refusal to sanction that great
perjnry. The world cannot have forgot
ten the facts us expose() through the manly
indignation of Mr Gladstone at the time—
an exposure which sent a thrill through
the heart of Christendom. Persecution so
atrocious converts every feeling man into
an avengiir ofmutrageo humanity. There
is a bond of flesh between man and man,
a community of nature and lot, of thought
and feelings, which: compels us with a
power paramount to all ordinary rules, to
stigmatize such humanity wherever perpe
trated on every possihie occasion. It is a
touching supplement to this outrage that it
has shed a cold blight over the finest cir
cles of private life—driven the high bred
momer of of l'erin to a mad house, crushed
the cherished wife of I:tettinahriiii into a
premature grave, and cursed his children
with n horrible orphanage. Every timely
heart must leap into onMry nt every men
tion of the author of such a tragedy.—

Cur. Reeder and the President.
A IV ashingign correspondent of the
Tribune says, many important facts have
transpired ivith reference to the dismissal
of Gov. Reeder, and g ives • pos i t i ve assu.
ranee of the nuthentieity of the fact, that
"no sooner had the Governor communica.
ted with Mr. Pierce, after lie had arrived
. 1 ? in the Eastern Snails from Kansas, than
the President besought him to resign, in
milk,. to relieve thn Chief Magistrate of
the Union from the embarrassment in
widen he found himself. By way of in
ducement the Pre-Went proposed to con
fer on Governor Reeder the appointment
of Commissioner to Chien, then vacant by
the return of Mr. McLane. This the
4lovernor promptly declined. This prof
fer having thus proven insufficient the
President made a higher hid.• He now
paid that on condition of Reeder's vacating
the Governorship in Kansas, he mould
gipe him the place of .dmhasemlor to En
gland; from which Mr. Buchanan was
soon to relent. The splendor of this pro
position was a matter to consider, and
after two days the Governor gave his ul
timatum. He offered to resign if the
President would write him a letter asking
him to do so, and publish it in the Union,
together with his reply ; it being under
stood that his appointment to England
should he gazetted immediately after. Thu
President refused to publish such a cor
respondence, and the Governor according
ly left him under the necessity of turning
out a Territorial Executive for the sole
reason that he would not lend himself to
the establishment of slavery by foreign
invasion and eonquost, against the will of
the vast liPliOrlly of the people of the
Territory."
THE Pits ELECTION. -1 por
'lion of the So them press have lately been
speculating with some earnestness upon
'the chances of the next Presidential clec
tine. With a keenness which is charao
.teristut, they have already perceived what
-has escaped the attention of most persons
in this section, that the present condition
-of political affairs is such as to render it
likely that a President may he elected op.
'posed to the extension of slavery. The
view is this. When there are two parties
in the field with their candidates, one or
'the •other must he successful ; but with
three strong parties, each able to carry
number of Shies, and having an exclusive
candidate of its own, there is likely to be
.no eleition by the people. In that event
the duty •of choosing a President will de
volve upon the House of Representatives.
That body already contains a blear major
ity of opponents of the extension of slave
ry, and they would determine the result.
This is the case in a nutshell.—Phil.
