[Our limits will not permit us to give this morning
all the extracts furnished by our correspondent from
Dr Durbin's work. We will, however, publish them
to-morrow ]
I have quoted there few passages as the most ob
noxious to the fanatics that you may see tbe sum of his
offence; for the tendency of his remarks generally is
decidedly adverse to the Catholic Church, and I rose
from the perusel of his book gratified highly by the
evidence of his kind feeling towards that much abused
btanch of Christendom, and yetconfirmed and strength
ened if possible in my attachment to the liberal and
glorious principles of Protestantism, in which I was
reared and expect to die. And I cannot conceive how
any Protestant of common judgmept could come to
any other conclusion in regard to the merits and worth
of his "Observations." Yet sir, there are found per
sons in our midst, Native Americans, "defenders par
excellence, nod champions of the who have
denounced Dr. Durbin as "ready to join the Papists."
1 heard one, respectable in the public estimation ob
serve, "he should have got a siwitikle of holy water
from Father Matthew and then he would have been a
pied Catholic." The pulpit opened its battery upon
him. I accidentally heard a sermon from a divine of
twenty years standing in his church, who divided his
anathema equally between the trio, "the Devil, the
Pope anti the Modern Tourist." He denounced the
learned Doctor as a "half hearted Christian,"—and
said with the greatest positiveness. be was "not one
of rhakind of soldiers Jesus Christ relied upon in the
day of battle;" but I cannot quote all. Add to this
the most furious gesticulation and excitement of man
ner in his delivery, and you have some idea of a dis
course, to me as amusing, as extraordinary. While I
think of it I will relate the reverend orator's descrip
tion of the downfall of Popery, as given by him from
his pulpit some time ago to a crowded auditory.
"You know, my brethren, drat Rome is in the neigh
borhood of Mount Vesuvius! and that there the Col
lege of Cardinals with the Pope at their bead is always
in session ; that from this College the Pope has always
to be elected. \Veil, I give it as my opinion, not as
a frier, that some day the Lord will send a shower of
burning lava (with a sweeping gesture consigning
them into the she les of Tertarus,) and overwhelm their
conclave with its rolling flood ! Then there will be no
Pope! Then there will be no College of Cardinals to
elect a Pope from; every Catholic in the world will
want to be Pope—O'Connell will want to be Pope--
Bishop Hughes will want to be Pope—and every
Priest in the world will strive for the honor, and in the
general quarrel for the Popedum the whole thing will
fall to the ground! Lord send the time!"
Nut being an antiquarian, I have not the honor of
an acquaintance with the bigots who kindled the fires
of Smithfield in the reign of "bloody Mary.'• but
hare an idea that men very much like them could be
found in our day, perhaps not far even from the city
of "Brotherly Love," (what a misnomer!)
The' spirit of intolerance and persecution is the
same every where, and in all ages, end Reserves equal
detestetioe, whether burning in. the bosom of Pagan,
Catholic or Protestant. It is the same now in free A
merica revivio.t under "Native" auspices, that it was
in the days of the Roman Nero—the same that it was
during the sway of the profligate Catherine de Medici,
drenching on the eve of St Bertholemew France in
streams of blood—theseme that it was in the age of
England's brutal "Defender of the Faith." who to
make people conform to his standard of faith, •burited
them for being Panists,and hanged them for being en
emies of Popery '
The spirit is the same, let it be found where i. will,
and should receive the condemnation of every intelli
gent man, who wishes to preserve the inestimable
blessings of liberty, and a free government bequathed
us by our ancestors. Let the words of the anther of
the Declaration of Independence never be forgotten

THIS 11011sMCK MURDER.—Tho N Y Express states
that Pftridun F G Menges, who has been arrested on
suspicion of having murdered Martens, is apparently
about 20 years old. The suspicions which were at
first awakened, have been considerably strengthered
the evidence already adduced. He called at the
residence of the deceased on the Friday afternoon. as
certained whether he had gone, and called again at
the house the following morning. MrStout, the dis
coverer of the murder, and Mr Henry Relyea of New
York who was also gunning in the neighborhood at the
time, have both pat tinily identified the prisoner as hay
ing been seen by them at West Hoboken, about the
hour of the nutrder. The prisoner, it is understood
is to be n•moved to the prison at Newark, as t he one at
Jersey City is not considered in a fit state to receive a
pcisonerfue any lengthened period.
FRArDi olr THE TREASURT.—The Ncw York Ex
press says, recent evidence has disclosed the fact that
one (tithe partners of a large importing house. former
ly doing business in that city, committed frauds on the
revenue to the snintint of severnl hundred thousand
dollars, in 1836, '37, '3B and '39. It was done by un—
dervaluation of the goods in the invoices. The proof
has been returned to the United States in the hand•
writing of the guilty individual. whc was himself one
of the most prominent accusers others. His f ro nds
in exporting goods for the benefit of drawback have
also been known. Thry prove to have h-en large in
amount, but the extent is not ascertained. The Ex
press adds the following piece of history. OF eight
persons who have been prominent dieing the last f•w
veers at the enstom house, as informers. all have been
detected in crimes. Three have been iedicied fir nee
- jury, in swearing to false entries; one was dotecte•l in
taking goods from the public star one i•i fr old i i false
swearing in open comet one in fraud in his invoicen; one
in a gross evasion !if n haw which he aided in passing;
and one wis convicted of forgery in England, and has
recently born transported to Botany Bay for life. Of
these,seven were Americans, and one was an English
man.
In Pa •ola, Mississippi, a few days ago, a ease of
Lynching occurred arisiogout ofa case, the particulars
of which we gave last week. A laborer, in the em
ploy of a clergyman of Holmes county, in said State,
stole from him a negro man, two hcr,es, and his two
little daughters, one twelve the other ten, and left for
resets. He war caught at, or near Helene. Ark It
was the intention of the fellow to make a wife of one
of the little girls and the negro was to have the other!
By terrible threats they had prevented the little girls
giving alarm. No violence had been offered to them
when they were overtaken, and it is believed by con
versation which was overheard, that outrage upon them
was prevented by the negro, who was heard to tell the
white man, "if he attempted it before they reached
where they were going to, he would kill him." The
white send had been employed some two or three week,
with the father of the little girls before he took them
away, was an Irishman by birth, and a Mormon.
Both culprits were marched into Panola handcuffed.
The citizens hearing of their arrival, and the circum
stances attending, assembled, and formed an extra-ju
dicial tribunal, appointed a jury of 12 men, who sen
tenced them to be severely eowhided. the sentence to
be exectued one upon the other. This was according.

the white man twenty-five, well laid on The sentence
was fifty each, but their backs wares° gashed that the

Earn° whigs here are continually attempting to
falsify Mr Clay's own words, and to make the public
believe that he is in favor of a Protective Tariff. A
greater migrepresentation of a man's opinions was
never uttered. Mr Clay has time after time declared
himself opposed toe Protective Tariff, and has as of.
ten urged on the country his favorite Compromise Act,
which abandoned discrimination, and enforced uniform
duties of 20 per cent. -
Hear him, in the Senate on the 21st Jan. 1892.
He saya:—"Carry out the spirit of the Compromise
Act. Louk to reveono alone for the support of the
Gusremment Do not raise the question of protec
tion which I had hoped had been pitt to rest. There
is no nec , ssity of protection fur protection "
How did Mr Clay hope the "question of protection"
"hod been put to rest?" Why, by the passage of his
Compromise Act, which the editor of the Gazette de
clared throttled the Tariff.
But, we have better authority than Deacon White,
that Mr Clay struck a deadly blow at the interests of
domestic industry when he supported the Compromise;
we have the written opinion of the lion HAIYAR
Dstrav, that in tenoning that bill MR CLAY "left
his Tariff friends" and united with the nullifiers.
Mr Clay still supports the spirit of the Compromise
Act, and, of course, according to Mr Denny, he is still
united with the nullifiers in their opposition to the
Tariff.—Here is Mr Denny's letter:
iVasHiso - roN, February 14, 1833
From the proceedings in the Senate you will see
that Clay has left his Tariff friends and has united
with Calhoun. The project submitted by Mr Clay
is believed to hoop previously received the approba
tion of Mr Calhoun. Sonic THINK IT ORIGINATED
WITH THAT INDIvIDEIAE. The friends of the pro
tective policy, now rally around Mr Web•tcr—his res•
olution• which you will find in the Intelligencer of to
day, contain the truo principles of the American sy•tem.
and upon these tint friends of American indus
try here are determined to stand. Mr Clay's prom>•
sitiun goes further than some cf the Southern gentle
men would have insisted on!! He abandons discrinii
r•
Italian. The duties on the protected articles ate to
be reduced to 20 per cent. and to be no higher than
those in.posed on other articles. Tea and coffee,
which are now free are to be again subject to duties
of2o per cent. ad valorem, aftet 1342. Tt is said .
General Jackson will not'nzree to abandon the princi
ple of discrimination, neither will Mr Von Buren's
friends. Yours sincerely.
HARMAR DENNY.
No whig in this county will dart to impugn the ve•
ratify of Mr Donny. Ho W 34 on the sr »t at the time
and knew well the motives that actuate 1 Mr Clay when
he united with the nullifiers. Mr Denny has never
retracted the charges mule in the ab.ere letter against
Mr Clay; he never will, fut he is too well convinced of
their truth.
How can the whigx hive the impudence to hold M

In which of these acts has John Tyler proved treach
erous to the country? Was it in vetoing the Bank

schemes for reviving the villainies and frauds that were
practised under the old Monstet?
Was it fur depriving the whig Traders of the pro

They can give no other instances of President TT

[Harry of the West.
This falsehood, if it had not been already contra
dicted, is too gross in itself to gains moment'. ere
dence, and the editors of the Harry of the West well
knew this. What, then, did they publish it for? The
object is palpable. The very blindest may perceive
that it is to mortify their co-laborer of the American.
It is mournful to see these 'puny whipsters' wrest the
sword from a veteran like the American man, and
poke it into his fat sides so savagely.
TRLACHCRY.—We dislike treachery and we would if
possible,shield ourgreatestopponents from thedastardly
persecution of their enemies. It is with this feeling
that we warn the editor of the Gazette of a plot now
on foot to dismiss Lim, as the organ of the party, and
to import another person—great friends of dome in
dustry these coons, who import their editors—who
will suit their principles better than Mr White. They
find some-difficulty in raising the necessary funds:
$4,000 is the sum required, being one thousand more
than the fifteen whigs agreed to pay, to induce the ed
itor of thu Gazette to betray the antim Dons. We
would advise Mr White to see to this, call a meeting
of the renowned fifteen, and ascertain whether he is
to be dismissed in this summary WWI er.
The New York Tribune recommends that Clay's
speech at Raleigh should be read in every Clay Club
in the country. We have no objection if it is, but
we hope they will not read the garbled copies that are
printed in the Gazette and American.
o:7The Baltimore American asserts positively that
Mr Clay is in favor of the annexation of Texas.—
Will this be sufficient to vitiate the contract of the

MESSRS. PHILLIPS & SMITH :—foly atten
tion has been called to the following Card, in
your paper, which has been published therein since
the 15th inst., under which you will please publish
the following statement:
Cantien to the Public.
WHEREAS my wife Hanna has left my bed and
board, without any reasonable cause, this is to
caution all persons from harboring or trusting her on
my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting.
I am willing to receive her and provide for her, ac
cording to mycircumstances, if she retnrns to her home
and discharges her proper duties. bin while she re
mains at her Father's (Charles Wilkinson's) or nny
oilier place than in my house, I shall pay nothirg
which she coutracts. • JAS. HUNTER,
july 15,18 it. Coal Lane.
The above notice is a tissue of falsehoods fro•n be
ginning to end, with the single exception that **HAN..
is An." not ttH ANNA" has left the residence of JAM ES
HUNTER, for as to leaving 'l4 bed," he well knews
he never had a bed till she took MP hl/ him when
married; and that she left his residence even, without
just cause, is a falsehood for which there is no excuse,
as he and his neighbors well knows. and as any per
son who knows him w ' I reasonubly suppose—and
that there is any tear of his having to pay debts of her
contracting the heartless wretch knows is equally false,
as she has already had to pay debts which were cun
tracted wh:le with him. As to his " willingness to
provide for hrr according to his circumstances if sh•
returns to him," they are not sufficient to induce her
so to do, if the provisien thus provided is to be judged
of by what ho made for her before he ORDERED her
,nit of his house—for with all his abuse aid Viola
tions .1' !enmities of reform. she did not leave till he
infortio.d tier if she did not in addition to takkg care
of her child of 4 months old, and helping him diming
the night at Bakilig, give him from the proceeds of
her own work at MILLINERY $1 a week—it ;Air
'circumstances" prevents him from giving her any
other provisions than this, her duty to her infant child
and herself in her present debilitated state of health
forbids her acceptance of it. RS her father, Kimmel)
nrt ("Charles") Witxussolt and her friends with
whom she now is, are both perfectly able and wilting
to make much beater provisions for her and her child.
Her Brother,
