The Address has been published in - heat
pamphlet form by the Society--fora copy •
of Which we are indebterno the conricey
of the author. A careful perusal of it
fully justifies the favorable, opinion .of the
Committee soliciticg a cogy for
,pnblica
don, in characterizing it as very able and
interesting." The Address' is devoted to
a discussion of the relations between Sci
ence and Agriculture, it.being maintained
that all the valuable processes, even the
moat mechattioul, rest on the Natural Sci
epees, anti, are regulated by principles de
rived-from
,'them. .In illustrating. and
enforcing this proposition. Judge ShirSER
brings to bear the energies of a matured
mind, enriched by tatruful,varied reeding !
clothing Lis views and suggestions in. the
peculiarly graceful Style for which ho is
distinguished. There are several passa
ges which attracted our special attention,
which we have marked for future Use.--
One of thu most hopeful and gratifying
evidences of Agricultural development and
progress is the rapidly vanishing prejudice
against whatwas once called "Book Farm
,alid the .general attention to the .
; teachings of Science which is everywhere
being awakened among Farmers. Tho
educated intellect of our country, in &-
I e3iliarizing itself with these teachings, and
seeking to impart a knowledge of them to
the mashes of our people, at the hum-.
•merable Agricultural Fairs and through
Agricultural publications, is ifaeharging a
noble duty, the imptirtance of which will

GRAND RAILWAY PROJECT.—
A continuous line of Railroad from,Now
York to. Now Orleans, has lately :been
mooted' in various quarterp. The project
is to conucct'the liuks of roads 'already
built, and form a grpat chain from Now
York Pity, via Easton, Harrisburg, Car
lisle, 'Clttnbersburg, Hagerstown, Win
chester, Abingdon, Hnoxville, Tennessee,
Tusealoosa, Mobile anti New Orleans, and
also bran Ching from' Knoxville to Charles
ton and savanah, and from littgerstowo to
Cincinnati', and St boais. In, favor of
this route, it is urged that the Cumberland
Valley extends from th 3 Delaware at East
on without a crossing ridge, through Perm
sylvania, Tenue4see, down hits,
the level regions of south Alabama, prglfl
senting direct, and favorable route for a
railroad from' New Orleans to'New York..
OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT

that .the representations •of our govern
ment regarding the cniledged violation of
t is neutrality laws by Mr. CRAMPTON,
• ..
have not been juet in that straight-for
ward manner our Government had a right
to expect. Mr..BUCIIANAN says the pro
fessiotis of friendship' by the British

net are more profuse than heretofore, and
expresses the opinion that procrastination
has.bean resorted to in the;hope that some
• thing might turn up to relieve the British

; In another colon:in will.be found a letter
from the Pepe of Rome, which appears in
the New Ark Friiman's Journal, Rish't
bp - littastita' 'erg:kg, • and is deserving, of
special attention. The Clot that most Of
the Catbolio Bishops and Priests in this ,
country are Foreigners, educated under an ,
anti-Republican system of Goverutuout,
and laving, sympat hies wholly adverse to
our institutotions, haa ,darts , wore than
all else to 'discredit that : Chiire h mid
excite, :the, suspicious of .the American
people as to its aims and tendencies. : —
Reared and educated : ip a foreign lead and
ruder foreign.itatitutions, they clime here i
with ,their peculiar views sad feelings, all
in autagonistn with those of our own peo
ple; and. iostead of endeavoring to conform
to the latter '. and to' Ainericatiize :thend
selves, they sot, abort at ouco, to mould
theirflook in conformity with, their own
foreign notions, feelings and habits. 'The
alwastdespotiii influence over their mere- I
bership, secured to them by thti .peculiar
policy - of the Church u and the necessary
acquiescence of the laity in : the demands of
the Priesthood, give to the movements : of
the, latter ap importance and significance
which necessarily challenge the watchful
scrutiny of American citizens. It is swell
known foot that the polidal tendency of
ouritepublican institutions has been• to i t
break to some degree the force of Priestly
influence iu this country, and to weakeb ;
the authority of the Church in its dealings
with the musses. Hence the concerted
efforts making all over the Republic to
deprive the Catholic . laity of all control of
church property, by vestiogitexclusivelyin 1
the hands of the Priesthood, in defiance of
the spirit of our laws in regard to ecclesi
astical property—hence the mission of Be.
tliui, as the special legate of the Pope, to
support these demands of the Priesthood
and denounce the fultnivatioutt of the Vati
can agaiust refractory congregations, as in
the case of the churches at Buffalo, Phila
delphia, St. Louis, and other places. In
deed, the Freeman's Journal, in the very
athele in which it exults over the Vope's
'letter, admits ;that not more , than one in ;
tew.uLthowinhabitauttetliew.Tork,.w.li , •
are .Roinan ists by baptism, are iu the habit
of listonieg to the RetnisCpriesthood ; and
there can be nodoubt that the proportioa
is °you greater among the Rotnanists by
baptism io other parts of the Union. It is
evident that the Romish See begins to en
tertain serious uppreheusions of its power
to maintain its wonted strictness of dimpling:l
in the United States, and Italica the desire
to establish a college in Rome for the spe
cial training of Anieritrau Papists. It may
be expected that, in the dark precincts of
the Vitticati the minds 'of pupils can be
more rigorously moulded cud enslaved
than in any establishweut iu a hind, of
liberty and light.
This letter, although written near a year
ago, made its appearance for the firs , . thilti
iri
. Arelibishops Hughes' organ about ten
days ago. Disclosing, as it does, a uew
and extraordinary project still further to
denationalize the Roman Catholic clergy
of this country, it has naturally excited
a good deal of remark from the Press
generally, and willettract the attention of
every honest friend of our Republican in
stitutions. rho Philadelphia Daily News
—a journal having little or no tdliuity for
Kuow•Nothingism—closes a temperate but
able article on the subject. with the follow
ing judicious remarks :
"This letter diselos - es the truo deAgn of
the Roman. Hierarchy. Insiead:of seekitig
to Americanize the Roman ( hureb in this
country, and popularizing it with' the peo
ple, by supplying it with au American
Priesthood, retired and educated iu our'
own land, and imbued with the Republi•
can spirit of our free institutions, it seeks
to coutitmeaud perpetuate a Foreign Priest
hood, who have no feeling or sympathy in
acinituon with Republicanism. It is a
scheme: if carried out, which is admirably
calculated to strengthen the Papal Power.
by having all its Priesthood Instructed
under the immediate supervision and influ
ence of the Rowan Pontiff; hut though it
he thus calculated, it is,,a scheme which
will prove tnischievious to the Church in
this country. .This letter, published at a
time when public sentiment to alive to the
evils of a religious denominatien holding
allegiance to a foreign Rower, will be regar
ded all over the country as proof strong as
holy writ of the objects and purposes us
'edited to the Pupal Power, mid thus its

the excitement already existing, and in

controversy between Prof McClintock and

This Mr. Fillmore was never elected Pres

inferior p.ist President. The oc
currence of Gen. Taylor's death made him
acting President. During his administra

strength enough to crush the un-American
sympathizing with forei g n red republican

of American institutions and intentions on

out to worry and annoy Mr. Hillseman,

of Mr. Pilmore that allowed constant fever
of pretented "intervention" in European

The English; French and Ger-
man • La ng uu ges
Among the modern languages there ore•
three to which general attention is paid—the
English, French and German. 'Every one 'of
them commands a peculiar interest ; the En
glish, obtaining with the smallest linguistical
means the highest purposes of language ; the
French, the tnost graceful and prevailing in
Europe ; the German, the richest of all, con
taining the most •various, the greatest and pro
foundest ideas of tho human mind.
The English, formed of the moat heterogene—
ous elements, is simple in construction, concise
in expression, and admirably adapted to busi
ness, as well as to science, poetry, and all those
ideas and facts, through which mankind goes,'
onward from generation to generation. The
'French, being of Roman origin, and elaborated
by the Gaelic genius to the most elegant of all,
is only in sonorousness inferior to the Greek
language. The dermal', of halo-German ori
gin, is the most flexible, the richest in words,
as well compounded as radical, and presents
the greatest treasureof works that human mind
has ever produced.
The three atithora who represent the most
completely their respective nations, am Asks
pure, Racine and Goethe .
Sever u genius united iu his creation a morn
harmonious proportion of fancy, mind and
spirit, to a met decisive character, than Shake
pear° ; therefore, his words find an everlasting
echo in the heart of mankind, for they touch
all its feelings and thoughts, and will only per
ish with the latest of dying men.
Racine is the most refined in tragedy. Ele
vating our mind to the highest region of noble
feeling. and delighting by the rhythm of his
antique diction, he never descends from his
tragic ped,ital to unonlietie scones ; he nee•
er mingles sublime senti.nents with humor•, wit
or displaced expressions, though drawn front
nature herself.
(huddle embraces the greatestsum of human
knowledge ; in single words, he unveils the
tendencies of mankind and the universe.
The longing mind in the song of n nightin
gale ; thu delicious transport in the first out
break of a rose ; the charming scenery of an
eternally blue Italian sky--all this you find in
Shakspeare's Romeo and Juliet !

In the course of the ease, the priest be

a privileged commtinication and could not
be disclosed. Judge Waldo after argu
ment. in which a recent Virginia case
was cited to sustain the objection to the
question, took the Case into consideration
and decided that confessions to a priest
were not by the law of Connecticut priv.
ileged, and that the priest might be com

to make Lucien Bonaparte a Cardinal pre

The necessity for a change of the nat

It is the duty of Americans_ to see that

the royal saloon in which she rides has nn
the top of it a semaphore signal, worked
tram the interior of the earridge. A man
travels on the tender, looking backwards,
so as to keep this semaphore constantly
in view. He has also tied around his
arms ati end of a cord, communicating
with the guard .in the end break, thus giv
ing the guard free communication with the
driver. By this means no accident can
occur which vigilance can guard against.
Why cannot our sovereigns here, when
they ride on the railmad. have equal care
taken of them Certainly neither the

much to the running expenses of the

Holloway's Mit t the most celebrated Rem
edy in the Union for the cure of diseases of the
Liver and Stomach.—Edmund Alga, of Coop
erstown, New York, was for the period of nine
teen tears a complete misery to himself, and a
burden to;his friends ; he suffered so severely
and continuously from liver complaint, and a
disordered stomach, that he was constantly for
weeks together eunfunttl to his bed, the doctors
did him no good, and he therefore left off con
suiting them. Nino weeks ago he commenced
usiug Holloway's Pills, and ins wife called last
week at the store of Professor Holloway, to
acknowledge most gratefully that lier husband
is quite cured. Professor Holloway hopes that
the thousand others is the Union who have
been benotitted will now come forward.
