CATHOLIC CimiSTIAHITY HO. 17.
In the proceeding numbers I Jiavc
given a brief & incomplete outline of
the leading doctrines of Christianity ; yet
perhaps sufficient to iudieatc the differ
ence between Cathode ChrUtiani'y &
S'vtiiriam'sm. The one is comprehen
sive, the other par'iul. Tho one in
eludes all truth, the other to a greater
or less degree mingles error with tho
truth. The Catholic accepts as his
ruli of faith & conducts tho white word
of (!oil. Tho Sectarian in practice if
imt in theory rejects a pi.t of tho
divino word to a greater or less cx-
tent substitutes his own will and wis.
dom, for the wisdom and the will of
God.
Anot the like distinctions exists be
tween tho Catholic Church and the
sects. The Catholio Church includes
til' the children of God, whilo each of
the sects claims to include and wo
may Charitably hope does include
s.'Hie of them. And on tho other hand,
tho Church includes only thoso who aro
children of God, whilo many in nil tho
various sects tiro children of tho
wicked one.
llcueo it is plainly true that no one
can be saved outside tho Church ; and
though many will bo saved who arc
numbered (by men) among ono or
other of tho sects, yet they arc saved
not as sectarian's but as members of tho
oue church of Christ. " Tho Lord
kuowcth (hem that arc His ; " and all
these constitute that church which is
the body of Christ (Eph. I, 23) aud
therefore one.
The church is Catholic bocauso it
embraces all christians everywhere, not
becauco it embraces all me it though it
is dvj.iuiied to embrace all men in tho
hut days : because it believes all divino
truth, and practices though imperfect
ly in this Ufa every divino command.
It is lio'y, becuuso it includes all thos;
and o ,'(y ,,.): of our failed raco who
hav3 I'lfiin lo be holy, and whoso ultU
mute p-erfectiou is secured by the di
vino promise. Sco I'pli. v, 25 27
where tho church is spoken of as no
sect (however maoy good men it may
contain) ever, was or can be.
It remains in accordanco with my
purpose to consider tho bearing of
what has been Eaid upon the use of tho
liiblo in our common schools. C. C.
Pleasant Thoughts for White
Jtlcn.
It must be agreeable for tho white
riu0 v( l'uuusy ivanla, iu mink that
experience has taught them that they
aro incapable of governing themselves,
and that uuless they call in the aid of
tho negroes everything will go to
ruin. IIow pleasant to think that we
have been running down hill for eighty
years, so fast that wc have got below
the level of tho Dcgro race, aud now we
most turn to them aud plead for mercy,
instruction and help.
It is possible, however, that many
will not readily yield this poiut, but
win, on ine contrary, insist tnatit is
only the rank Republiciaus who thus
extol the virtues of the negro ; or rather,
who begin to feel the necessity of
calling in his talents to aid in propell
ing tno machine, wnich in their hands,
is becoming so rickety ; they themselves
being discouraged, and beginuing to
distrust their own abilities, have de
termined 10 bring in all tho necessary
material aid iu order to gain strength
enough to run tho machino still, aud
Euiash it all to peaces, rather than sur.
render it to white men.
In either event, it must bo comfort
ing to the people to know to whom
they have surrendered their rights and
liberties, tho making of all laws, and
tho di'Tptioa of all the interests of the
State.
If these things comfort you, at once
acknowledge your weakness, your, iu
fciiority, your incapacity, your retro.
gresMon, your degradation, and then
call iu tho negro to givo tho casting
vjtr, to euliglitcu you in all political
wisdom, to correct your past errors,
to exalt your capacity and to make you
onco umro a progressive pcoplo. Rlc.-s-cd
cousolatiou to reflect that wo whites
have nut descended in tho scale of
demoralization so low as to bo beneath
the negro's ingenuity to teach and
rescue us. Therefore, wo will huvo to
surrender nil into tho hands of the
colored loyalists (so loug as they remain
loyal, but oh my ! what if they should
bo Copperheads ;) and await a glorious
resuscitation or resurrection. Oh, that
will joyful bo Allentotvn Dcmoa-at.
Nkouoks in Schools. Wo learn
that negro children aro now admitted
into the public schools of Middletown,
and enjoy eijual privileges with the
white pupils. This will 'soon bo tho
Cdso everywhere if tho negro-loving
Radicals aro ugt checked in their fan
atical career. Nuroe.?, will bo thrust
into the publio schools, into tho jury
boxes, inlo the hulls of legislation, and
upon tho beuches of our "courts, ai is
u jw the case iu somo of tho Southern
Slates. If iho pcoplo want such a state
ol affairs hero, they car. accomplish it by

Remarkable Pamphlet from
David Paul Brown, of
Philadelphia.
WHAT A LEADING RADICAL LAWYER
THINKS OF THE TWO CANDIDATES.
David PAun Ruown, of Philadel
phia, a life long Abolitionist and ono of
tho foremost lawyers oftho nation, has
issued a pamphlet often pages, entitled
" the Press, tho Politicians, the People
and the Judiciary."
Im a Keptihlicftn, and liavo always been,
I am iu favor of Uijual rights in the wildest
cense, and I mn also an advocate for the best
men in (ho best and most apprnprinto places.
Of coin-so I am opposed, subject to these
views, to mere party proscription, or mere
party preference. Tarty adhesion should
iicvorcnitiel my choice or my vote iu regard
to the candidate of any office, when morally
and intellectually he wis moro dserving of
that otlicj, and more competent for the dis
charge of its duties, than any competitior
whom a political convention mny think
proper to nominate. Iu cases of equal claim,
and equal qualifications, of courso, as n Ito
puhlican, I should ollng lo a. Republican
nominee Jlut oven thin uilfjht Jopend upon
tho nature of Iho post Involved In thn party
conflict. If iho iioul woro purely political,
or would Involve nomo principal vital lo tho
rcspeotlvo parties, of oouro I should tauU
by my party allhouifh tho advorso nominee
were independently oonshlored entitled to n
prcferonco. Bui to conic to tho point, In tin
caso of a nomination ofa Jennnop th Su
no: mr Coi-kt, ov any other Court, I should
be governed, not by tho question wli other
the candidate was ft Ilepubliean or a Demo
crat, but whothor lie was best adapted to the
fulfillment of his high office; and in saying
this let it be understood, I would not api
prove of a party political Judge on cither
eido, nor would I vote for any man for such
a position who was bound to any party pro
gramme which might influence him in the
discharge of his high and impartial func
tions. I concur in the doctrine of the Democratic
programme " that a wise, upright and fear
less Judiciary is the great bulwark of publio
safety and individualltights," and I concur
also in the truth of the declaration, " that in
the nomination of George Sharswood for a
place on tlie supreme Uench of the Slate,
Ihey have selected a man who is in alt re
spects worthy of tho confidence and support
of those who aro ia favor of an enlightened,
fiiithful and impartial administration of tho
Law."
Mr. liitowN dkseuts from tho re
mainder of Iho Democratic platform ;
but this does not prevent his fcupportiug;
Judgo Saauswood. He eays :
"Judge Sharswood in the year 1851, was
nominated by the Whig Democratic, Nation
al Union Temperance, and World ugmen's
Conventions, each of which adopted differ
ent platforms. Inl8(il, ho was nominated
by the Republican, Union or Independent
party, and the Demeeratio Conventions each
of which had a platform somewhat difforent
from the others. Yot nobody eTer dreamt
that the variety and contrariety of tho re
speetive programmes had any connexion
with, reference to, or influence tipon, the
triumphant e'ection of their distinguished
and impartial candidate for judicial honors.
The present opposition, therefore, is a mere
parti fetch, which thk i-eoi'Lb in their
HTKKNOTH SHOULD UAONANIMOUSLT BEIIDKK
AND DEFEAT."
Of Judgo Williams, tho Radical
Candidato of hia own party, Mr. BflOWN
says :
"That the Ifon. Hcnrv W. Williams. iW
Republican nomineo for the Supreme Court
is a gontleman of good abilities, a nuu of
learning, a graduate oflalo College, a na
live of Connecticut, ft man of character and
ot torty six years old, (all of which has
been asserted ic hi3 behalf,) we are by no

tions, nor do we dcuy that he was elected
Judge of the District Court of Allegheny
v-u.uiiy, in mo year itsoi, witliout orjrani.
zed opposition ? Rut what does this all
amount to T To no more than can ha said
of a dozen JuJges of the various Courts of
rennsylvama. IIow little is all this to tho
praclical proof of the unquestioned and
undoubted competency of Judge Sharswood.
No man, I suppose, will maintain that
Judge Sharswood, except that he was not
born iu, or descended from Connecticut,
but is a native of our own Slate, and that
he is fifty six years old, and that ho lias
spent nearly oue half of that time in the
able and honorable discharge of his high ju
dicial functions, and is, al this tinio, ac
knowledged to be at least equal to tho lofti
est judicial incumbent in this Common,
woalth. No man, I suppose, will for a mo
ment pretend that there could bo any com
parison between the rival candidates, not
that we disparage Mr. Williams, but uo nian
with all am uiipCTtunitics and qualifications
coma leasoiinlily bo cxpeciev. 19 possess
iiiohc ciaims io uic onico wlncli arc fully ac,
corded to iho accumulated learning and ap
proval ot more tlmn twenty years. Wehave
always been opposed to an elective Judioia
ry. Wo have always been opposed to the
a.ct um iiiiiiuiuuu oi Hijuy years, by
which Judge Kent aud other eminent men
were excluded from I lie bench. But when
a Judgo elected establishes his claims to his
post, by fidelity and competency, wo are in
favor of retaining him in preference to ma.
king anew experiment. As to the differ.
ence between forty six and fifty six years of
a ire, our prriercnco is lor fifty six, as it im
plies teuyars additional experience.
Tho declaration in the platform of the
Williamsport Convention that nomina
ted Judgo Williams, that the Judici
ary of the State must be placed in har
mony with the sentiments of the Radi.
cal party, elicits theso comments from
Mr. Brown :
The election of a JuJge should have no
eonneolion with party politics. Ho is to
expound, and not to make tho law, not to
expound it as a partisan, not to legislate up.
on legislation, nut to favor the views of one
parly or another in the discbarge of his du
ties, not to consult programmes or platforms
as limiting or affecting his opinions but to
hold himself aloof from all corrunt aud cor
rupting influence. '
It is true, ho may bo poinlnalcd by one
party or another, or his political prediluc.
lioim may be with one parly or Iho other
but ho is nol elected for his piojudices orto
subserve the prejudices ofa i-urty but to
fulfill the great aud important objects of jus.
tiee, as hu Khali answer to this world and
the next. .U to pUdijinj himself actually er
impli'.lly to support one n t vf political views or
anutht;; that in itself would be enoiijh to con
dimn him in the eyes of all good men.
The man wlio pledges hinisoir in this div.
versified world, lo any political dog:nas of
any parly, is unworthy 0f every parly and
totally unfit for a judge. The great princi
p'cs of justice should be abovo parties and
control all parties.
The conclusion of this remarkable
pamphlet rcmarkablo in the fact that
whilo condemning both parties it urges.
the people who desire nn iudepcudent,
fearless and pure judiciary, to voto for
Judge Sharswood wo give entire :
I have thought proper to sav thus much
upon Iho principles upon which judges aro
consuiuieu, as Doing pertinent to the qucs.
lion in wincu we arc more immediately con
corned, viz : the candidates at the approach
in 2 Judicial Klcction.
I say, then, competency Is everything and
that admitted age is nothing. The first
question then should bo, who is the most
competent man? Now is there a person in
tins community ir iclt to Ins unbiased reason,
who could hesitate in desciilini that ques
tion! Ho has all tho facts and daily proofs
beforehini. In every essential of a judge,
tho President of tho District Court of tliis
County has no superior : in calmness, mild
ness, affiahilily, moderation, inflexibility
ami in iinuouoieu learning, ne stands pre
eminent in this political controversy.
Jjut, we arc told that he is afii'.ialed with
tho Duiuooracy. Well, if that consideration
should be understood to affect his unbending
rrouiuuoanu conscientious duty, it unuouDt.
otlly wtuld bo a Ferious objection. But in
the long course of tho exercise of his tudi
clal functions, though it is Impossible ho may
have erred in judgment for there is ono
Judge that can nevor err-no instanoe can be
referred to calculated to cast a shadow on
the dise of his fair fame.
Now, iu regard to hi competitor ho wo
are told, ii a Ilepublioaii. Well, he is all
tho better for that ; but as ono error should
not blast a judge (if there bo oue), so ono
virtue should not make a judge; therefore
more Republicanism cannot bo conclusive
proof of competency. But what else is
said in hit behalf t He is but fortv-six
years old 1 As I have olsowhere intimated,
this Is not an advantage to a judge. Lord
Mansfield was over fifty when he took his
seat as cnior-Justice of England and re
nininod upon the benoh thirl v-two vears.
when he resigned iu possession of all his
lacuities, being over tho age of eighty years,
and nover surpassed by any judge in Eng
land or elsewhere. Chief-Justice Marshol
held his post as long, in the full vigour of
lmoueci ami power ; ouu. 'uiiancollor Kent,
who was legislated out of office, died at tho
ago of eighty four, in tho possession of ju
dicial faculties which tho combined learn
ing of all the judges in his Stato since his
time, would scarcely rival.
The fact of Jude Williams being but for
ty six years old, may ho tho ground of a
presumption that he, by duo efforts, may
live to be an eminent judge, but we are to
rely rather upon facts than fancy. We have
in Judge Sharswood, the assurance of qual
ities that in the case of Judga Williams, at
the best, we have only the promiso of.
Which, then, let me ask, would he tho more
reasonable choice ? It takes twenty years
to make a lawyer, and even then he has
something to learn. A good judge would
require nearly all that time on the score of
mere lcgaroompctency, and he should ne
cessarily improve during that time, in his
aptitude for bnBiness in his self control, in
his temper and demeanor, for all these
things enter into the formation of his judi
cial chnracter. Now, can it be supposed
that with the few years that Judge Wil
liams has occupied the bench at 1'ittsburgh,
having comparatively limited jurisdiction,
that be could have derived those advantages
in the formation of a judge, which wero ne
cessarily acquired and fully exhibited on
the part of his antagonist during moro than
twenty years.
But are we told also, thot Judge Williams
is a uativo of Connecticut, and was gradua
ted with honor, at Yale College. Well, that
cannot be denied we do not disparage hira
on account of his having beeu born in
anothor Stato, or for being educated nt
another institution of learning. Sufficient
answeron that score, is that Judge Shars
wood is a native of Philadelphia, and took
the first honor at the University of Penn
sylvania. Iu conclusion, nllow me to say that for
tho reasons suggested, I shall voto for Shars
wood. In doiug so I do not feel that I shall
compromise my principles as . thorough na
tional Republican in acting otherwise, I
should carry with mo tho consciousness of
doing injustice to a meritorious man, and of
inflicting a causeless ana a cureless wound
upon the purity, permanency ard integrity
of the Judiciary. My term of life is short,
but the lessons of this day may last iu
their pernicious aud corrupt influence un
to the latest posterity. Let the people,
then, think of this, do what they believe
to be right, and stand firmly by their moral
as well as Ihcir political faith.

Editor Advocate :
Dear Sir : Be
fore your next week's issue, that
all-important question, Shall the negro
rule Pennsylvania, -mil have been de
cided. Tho schema of the Radicals is
to have this state governed by negroes,
as they pre doing in the South, and even
iu Tcuuessee. And such being the
case, can the people be bliud to the
fact that this is exactly their de
sign in Pennsylvania f It is not my
intention to continue in this strain. I
will presume to go no farther than to
subject a few words concerning the af
fairs of the 8th of Oct. to the citizens of
Elk County j because iu the main part
of this state, East, South, and West of
us, the Democrats aro aroused to such a
pitch as to throw the utmost we can do
iuto the shade ; to us it remains to do
our part aud our duty. Consider 1st
that if every Deiuocratio rote is polled
wo will carry the ticket by a majority of
Thirty Thomand. A well known I'enn
sylvauiau, whoso name I must not givo,
has made a tout of the Stato. ulth no in.
terest or intention, but to lcaru the
Tiiurn, and the result of his inquiries is
to the undcuiablo fact that eight oouutics
will give us a majority of twenty five
thousand. These are tho large counties.

cauism, but oh Low changed !
Then should not every Democrat, in
view of this fact, tuko tho deepest"
pleasure in doin-i his duty on election
day. Kvcry voto is valuablo, and every
Democrat, without a Bingle exception,
should take prido iu making next Tun?.
day a national holiday ; should como to
tho polls in the morning, and remain till
uight ; bring every Democratic neighbor,
and sec that they all ALL vote.
Ua the previous day, get cvcry(
Democrat to promise you thaUho will
come r.nd vote in the forenoon. This
will bo sure of its object. Remember
that at the same time, thousands of
patriots all over the state arc workiu''
earnestly in tho same causo with you ;
and that on tho wesont success of
Democracy, which alone has upheld the,
C INSTITUTION jf our country during all
the storms of eighty years, depends the
safety of tho liation from the plots of
the Radicals, whoso design, ns a candiJ
Republican confesses, has been, from
tho first, to uuderminc the very founda

" On Friday evening last, as Miss
Nora Filler, daughter ot Captain Joseph
Filcr, was passing from tho lower part
of town to her home, she was met by a
negro man, who walked past her, but
immediately turned about, seized her,
attempted to gag her, and threw her to
the ground. It was then just dusk, but
a cloud had arisen iu the west and a
violent storm was approaching, which
rendered the evening rather dark. Still
there was sufficient light lor Miss Filler
to recognize her assailant, and she called
him by name, begging him to desist.
Ho replied that he would ' cut her heart
out ' if she resisted, and ' would shoot
her if she told on bim," drawing a knife
on her as he said theso words. Though
frightened nlmost to death, the poor girl
struggled heroically, aud succeeded in
keeping her fiendish assailant at bay
until ho heard the approach of some
students going to town, which drove him
away before he had accomplished his
purpose. Half dead with fright and ter
r.'bly bruised, the young lady went to
ward her home, shiieking and crying,
and passed the night in a state of dis
traction. Her face was much cut, and
the marks ol the negro's efforts to gag
her are left on her throat and cheeks.
When the outrairo become known their
was a universal expression ol honor and
indignation, aud every effort was ut once

of odo hundred dollars was raised by the
