Slate religioua establishments hare been the curse of mankind, since the world .began. Pagan or Christian, so-called, fpr we cannot believe there is any pure Christianity in that limb of a church thai ia chained to a civil or military government of uninspired rulers. Intolerance or violation of the right* of conscience in some form, and persecution have been the iova-iable fruits Of each adulterous connexions, and efer will be, in the nature of tbtngai This fact has been illustrated by (he Romish Church that has allied herself toall kind* of gotrof'nitents and need the sword of cruel tyrant* and fanatics to propagate our creed or to defend it from assaults and to sustain power Such, too, has been more or tew the spirit of the Protestant demoninatione that hare married themselves to tings, f>otentatea, or powers of oad hind.

In their General Conference and other depositories of power and influrnee, they have suggested political measurer and been governed in turn by the measures of the government or dominant political party of the country.

Bnt there is a good deal of the spirit of intolerance and a hostility to religions liberty perhaps, in every part of the United States, and this, too, in the minds of many men who do net themselves know of what manner of spirit they are ; they are ready to denounce every and any body that presumes in their hearing to advocate his favorite or peculiar religiousopin. ions, unless they correspond with those they may approve from prejudice or education, are very apt to show anger if a religicue discussion is carried on bofore them ; at the same time they are emphatic in prpolaitotug their charity (oh, much abused worafl for all denomination*; their charity woula seal | the mouth of ev-ery minister or private j Christian from ever advocating nay <Jialine> lire doctrine of his Church or denomination before any body but those already of the I same way of thinking, but these same very j charitable men are apt to be exceedingly tolerant of the discussions of infidels ana scoffers. The State M llitla to be Organised. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston AVmw furnishes the annexed statement as coming from Governor Scott, at a chance meeting of the former with the latter: " The GcTcrnor was asked if there was any truth in the report that State arms were being distributed throughout the counties, lie replied that arms had been sent to only one or two places?York County was mentioned a? one?where the 4 KuKlux ' or some secret organization had Lecn mal treating Republicans, bcatine them and dcstrovinir Ihetr " To tbe question whether arms would be generally distributed previous to tbe time of holding the general election next fall, bo re* plied that tbe Legislature had pawed an aot providing for the organisation of the militia of the State ; and as it was his duty to carry out tbe provisions of tbe act, he intended to see them executed as quickly as possible. Ho wished to see tbe militia organized nnder men who could be trusted to preserve order in tbeir districts at any and at all times, whether tbe disturbers of the peace were Democrats or Republicans ; he desired to see all classes in the militia, and it made no difference to him wheth-' er a Confederate or 'Federal commanded them ' in fact, it never occurred to him to ask such s question ; all he wished to know was, ' would be obey and cxeente tbe law.' The Oovernor montioncd one or two Confederate officers i whom ba bad either entrusted or intended en* trusting with militia commands. " In response to the interrogatory; Would nut tbe arming of the militia and tbeir presence at the elections tend to provoke a disturbance and canae bloodshed ? be answered that he thought not; (bat tbe knowledge that tkcre was a force adequate to check all disturbances would deter the evil-minded men in any community from commencing or instigating a disturbance. ' But now let me tell yon, sir,' said he, ' you may fast assured that after tbe next election the Republican party will never go before Congross stating that its voters wore intimidated or prevented from voted by Democrats, KuKlux or any organization whatever. Tbe Republicans want to have peace and or* dor during the next election, and If possible they will have it. If the Democrats Can beat as fairly wa will submit; hnt we will not be driven from tbe Stake, aa some propose. We from the North have eome hen to Stay, and intend to do so. If the Democrats choose to practice their old tricks of murder and tantim- | idatton, the result will be terrible to them und to the State.'" . ; . / . t j, . * Btrango Vindication of Character. A man known as Kit Ttimwe in N?w Toik, and famous-as the keeper of a dog pit, after allowing religious services about his premises by pious persons bent j en converting him and his vielous associates, was casually visited the other day by a reporter of the Htrald, who found Krr reciting hi* grievances to a small squad of listeners. He swid he had bsen robbed by an attache* of the ohurch next deer, (meaning an assembly at another dog pit aext to bis, where religious servioes had been aieo harried on,) had been called an ignorant dog tighter by some of the papers, And all for why 1 Because suns one said he was converted.

The London Catholic Mirror gives an so connt of a conversation of the Pope with the American bishops now in Rome, in which he said,referring to religious liberty, that in view of the iact that hi* Church was es tabiishsd by the Lord as the ark of safety and salvation, religions liberty could not be | recognised in principle, sinoe all were bound I to her, believe and obey Ood, but it might . become a social necessity from the diversity of seels, as in the United States, where the ] unuren (meaning hia of courts) is left frea ' wiib the rest Thus the principle of relict 1 ous liberty ia held wrong by the bend of the Roman Catholic Church, and only to be ' yielded from neeeaeity. Tliiaia no new dee ' trim- with that Church. It confirms all 1 that ia charged by the oppoaera of Roman- ' ism aato the inherent intolerance of that ' Church, wherever and whenever ia any f country they have the aumerieal strength and power to proscribe other forme of Chrio . tian worship. The Pope carties out his ' principle of suppressing all other Chnrehea at Rome. Mo Protestant ehorch ia allowed ? to exist in Lire papal dominions. Kecrwee Courier.

I will ata^e, aa briefly as possible, tome of the OoaeS (hat have produced the neneesity far this bill: It ia almost a universal practice of railroads and steamboat agents in tble Stale, to eell to celorhd people flvbt eleae tickets, and titan the captain of the boat, or the oonduetor, will consign theip to a seat to the smoke box or with'the cattle, and ft la impossible for any decent, respectable colored citlren. wife or luwrkUr to exposed to oil Vho uSeeeec and vulgar lw? guage or insults that any ruffian may choose to offVr them in those placet. How all decent oiliaena ahonld be prelected la their morale and good behaviour, regardleaa of their color, and no railroad company ahonld be allowed to obarge a colored citizen for a flrct claw ticket and thea force him to a aeeond claw aeaU or any aeat he oan get, simply on account of his color. Another discrimination complained of 1a' that ia many sounties county com miss toners and incorporated towns refuse to grant license to a colored citisen to foQow a business where, according to their laws, a license ia required. N? sane nsa can for a moment expect a people wno possesses so dominant a , power In this government to submit to these unjust discriminations when they hare B In their power to puoish the offenders: and until these discriminations cease, before toe law and la the courts, we can neVer have a harmonious and prosperous government. It ia now probable that both 0oases will rescind the resolution to edjowru on the first of March, on account of las portent hills that have been delayed in tha committees. If the Appropriation Bill was reported,all other matters coald be delayed until another time, but doubtless it is held in the rcmaaittae to seen re the passage of several other important Pleasures bet ore adjcutulng f and If we are delayed longer than the fisst proximo, ao ope Is responsible but tha chairman of one ?r two ia?>,. tant committees. r J.
