In the Storm of Preieriftioii and Fanaticism the "Dowoii >ojr fttfi-iH Finn. Ttts combination against which the democratic party m now called to contend is the most formidable that American politics have aver witnessed. For the first time we have | seen a religious scuiiineat fbtt.f&J'v intra duced into a political creed. The. objection 1 j io birth'-plaee, heretofore almost exclusively | 1 wielded against men born iu Ireland, now \ includes the children of every foreign clime, from the hardy (Jcrnian to the English and French and Scotch. Thus while wo sec tjris nc* Toppression, called intolerance, making Protestantism a test of citizenship on the one hand?To? I fciieh ft "test'follows direct from the crusade upon all. Cntlwlk*?on the otli-1 cr, this test w proved to be wicked falsehood, by the fact that belief in the Protectant faith cannot save a citizen born in Ireland, j England, (lermany, France, or nny otherj clime, from the disfranchisement that falls | , like a curse upon all who. cannot boast of native*American birth,aud whose fathers were ' not born upou American soil. The progress of the last few months shows , how relentlessly these prescriptive doctrines t have been enforced. Men who have lived in the United States from their infancy, whose foreign birth had almost been forgot- | ten by their nearest neighbors, have been stricken down by the secret foe, without knowing that they had an opponent at the election or an enemy in the world ! Others are persecuted because their fathers emigrated from abroad at a very early age; and others whose family has ex+sted for generations on American soil, until there name has I become a "household word" iu American annals, are prostrated, because, following hereditary opinions they have become attached to the Catholic faith. No matter if a foreign-born father fell, with his gray hairs drenched in his own blood, following 6eott and Jackson, at Bridge water and NewOrleans, or fought at the side of Perry and of Bainbridgo, his son must go down in the | present crusade to satisfy a relentless spirit, which operates in defiance of the constitution, and looks to supreme poorer by a resort to the most revolutionary measures. Nay, if his forefathers had come over with Calvert, aud, in imitation of that illustrious ex- { ample, worshiping freedom and sustained the Catholic creed, his doom would be no less iuevitable and Unsparing. The few past weeks have made this a black and pestilential page in our history ! The cause pledge! to such doctrines, and ! coolly contempiatiug and anticipating all the j resultiner wronirs. lisis been Refunded hi- ? I 0| O ? " "/ popular impulse which has crowned it with sudden ?meoess in recent election*. Added to those invocations to religious prejudices, and sentiment mistakenly called patriotism, are all the other fanatical ideas of the day. The temperance and the abolition parties have abandoned their own organizations to swell the ranks of religious intolerance and political proscription; and the whig party nas lost its identity in the midst of the wide ( but temporary fusion of isms. The only formidable opponent of this coalition has been the democratic party. The only name that has been rescued from recent defeats has been that of the democratic party. Even those who triumph fear avow their principles, deny their owu title of "know nothing," and while striking down somo at the best citizens for the worst reasons, essay to conceal the dark purposes which stimulate them to such sacntices. Truly is this attitude of the democratic party sublime and conspicuous. Beaten in the conflict by the secret enemy?who, in virtual imitation of the most savage barbarism, terrifies when it cannot seduce, and poisons when it cannot convince?assailed in flank and in rear by the hosts of abolitionism that earrerlv take service under the banner of in tolerance, if only to be revenged on the democracy?it preserves its discipline, its usages, and its principles intact and entire. Even when it seems to have been most worsted, its confidence is high and its courage unsub- i dued. Already in line for the future, its flag i inserted anew with the truths for which it \ has temporarily fallen, the traitors who have impaired its strength driven into the ranks of the combined enemy, it calmly observes j the victorious foe, who, in the first flush of I triumph, staggers, as it were, under a crushing load of shame. That thousands of whigs should behold in i the new cast of parties cogent reasons why ! they should no longer act with an organiza- j * tion that uses the name of whig only to help j the most dangerous dodtiines of the age. | whether social or political, may readily be believed. The aspect of the whig party at the present hour is full of significance. Men elected as whigs by know-nothing votes become the puppets in the hands ot the iaitor, register the decrees of the secret cabal, that their appointments from the clande-time chiefs who dictate them, and bind themselves by oatiis which demand the sacrifice of friendship and of honor?even to the overthrow of the most sacrpd and most intimate obligations of social and domestic life. Such is the new degradation that whigs,are called upon to submit to. We have seen those who live in the South indolently called upon to - support a combination which brandishes the feggot and the dagger of abolitionism ; and | how we ace the whigwof the North rallied to the support of a party which proscribes even the whig* who happen to bo Catholics, and disfranchises men for (he accident of being born abroad. In the latter case, submiMion is sometimes enforced by jwijiiry. Amid such a combination of isms, it is refreshing and ennobling to feel that one great party preserves its faith unstained, ami its record unstained; that although defeated, " 5/ it* proportion* are still pi*; estic and its pow- J ?r to defend the truth, and to recuperate fur other emftiofeyitfn yictoriea, beyond W doubt. And this ie the democratic j>arty ! -a'; y ''XW?9fk Washington Union.

Our State is, it seems j to me, completely overwhelmed by strong' 1 drink poured out upon the people by the can- ' didates for their favor. * In some of the Districts, yours and Spar- * tanburg for example, there has been very J little of this detestable practico ; still, it * seems to me, there is a state of things every- ( where, which ought to be deplored by every 1 good man. Some how the people seem | 1 afraid to touch the license system. Why ? 1 No man, on~earth, will say it ever did any ^ good! It has done, and will do more mis- 1 chief than any thing else! It is, however, ' painfully true, thnt the people has*e been de- ? ceived, and the members elected, byt their own acts and declarations have placed them* 1 selves in the absurd position, that they will 1 not touch the license system. Drunkenness is to have a full sweep over the State for the next two years. I mourn the sad condition to which we are thus rendered. I hope my young friend you may be blessed in removing, or helping to remove, this foul blot on our history. I am persuaded, that I can do no moro.

He was told by the interpreters that formerly their religion was similar to that of China, but fhat the belief, in a Supreme being had latterly been entirely discarded ; and theyj professed to l?e much shocked on Dee-yee-no-skee declaring his belief in the Deity, to whom, and not to the Spiritual or Temporal Emperor, he said his successful application for, and thankful acknowledgments of, deliverance from the drifting junk had beon grautcd."

But the zeal of his followers would not permit any finish to the life of their moat faithful shepherd. Spades and shovels were brought into requisition ; the harem of the bnried Governor assembled in force to aid the saving efforts of the male members of the flock, and, in about two hours, they had the gratification of pulling him out, like a forked radish, from his subsoil bed.

Alf.xanokr Dumas recently retired from <?n admirer in Kussiathe mfotpreefonstaHsman known in Europe, a fragment of a bang- ~ ed roan's ropo. This admirer was formerly, , according to 'his own story, the most unlucky *. being alive; but no sooner was be in poewtea ?ion of the tope than bis uncle died and left him a large fortune, by which he wns eha- ^ bled to marry a lady with whom he was in . love, and who lias iust given him tun heiress ^ the image of hereelf. Learning that Dumas ? was still poor, despite of his fourteen hours of labor a day, he determined to cut hira off J? a piece of his rope, and endeavor to reinstate c him in the g^xxl graces of the blind goddess. ^ j ae wny uic rvussiuu uuiisen came into possession of the rope was singular. The father w qS the lady with whom he was in love, was ? governor of a city, and upon his daughter imploring him to obtain for her a suicide's ropo he summoned up the warden of the po- ? lifical prisons, and acquainted him with the 8' young lady's desire. The warden said that u there was certainly a great deal of hanging' ? and suicide going on, but it was usually done ? with an old cravat or pocket handkerchief not in a stnte to be presented to a lady. Be- ^ sides, the superstition is explicit?the instrument of suspension roust be a rope. The * Governor told him to pretend to drop a rope P in the way of the prisoners, some of whom ? would, doubtless, put the oocasion to profit. a This direction was followed, and the young la- d dy was soon in possession of a new rope, ^ from which had dangled an enemy of the P State.
