THE NATIONAL CONATION.
The "American Organ," at Washington, j
is out with a strong article in favor of postponing
the time for holding the K. N. National
Nominating Convention, from February
22d to the 12th of May next. The reasons
given are, that the Convention may not
fall upon the inidst of an exciting discussion
in Congress, and destroy all chunce of harmony,
and that inorw time and deliberation
may be had to bring forward the right man
for a candidate. The Organ says of the
"coming man?
"lie must command the popular confidence
by his integrity, ability, experience
and conservatism. He must be a friend of
the Union but he must hold the balance of
the Union with so just a hand as that the
most jealous eye that watches cannot detect
it tremble from its true equipose with the
least dqst of venality or injustice. The" American
candidate must be in everyj respect, an
American, beyond reproach and incapable of
fear. But, above all, we shall insist he prea
em. h uiunti cuarncier hi wined the tootli of
slander may gnaw, with no more chance of
injury tlinn a mouse nibbling at a millstone."
Commodore Wilkes has come w ilk a new
explanation of the phenomena of winds, as
follows: TbaMhe atmosphere, when of equal
temperature and dryness, will remain at rest.
That if the atmosphere is disturbed by any
change of temperature, the denser and colder
portion seeks the warmer, from every direction,
to restore thee qnilibrinm. The heated
air, unless confined and forced, never tends
towards a denser, and cooler area, but, when
free, it always rises or falls to the area, where
its gravity and temperature will restore the
equilibrum. That current of air may pass
in opposite directions without mixing, providing
they lie according to their specific gravities,
but they can never pass through or
across each other withont commingling. Also,
that currents of air are influenced and disturbed
by electricity.
Mr. Chan, IngeraoM, of l'hilide'phia, one
of tho killed by the. rait road accident at

have been the last of the present month* A
clause in the wilt provided that in the a^ent

the fortune would fall to another brand) of
the family. It is said that an effort wilt be
made to recover this amount from the rail
road company. George W. Ridgeway, of

Drar Sir:?We bare frequently met *
with men who would willingly condemn the

spiritual with things temporal and for hold- '

in many instances, protested against opposi- (
tion to the Roman Catholics on otftrground
?that the sect was too feeble in numbers, x
and too weak in influence, to work detiimont I
to the Republic. j
We regret that such a belief has prevail- i
ed in many parts of the country and among 1
individuals otherwise well informed in poli- c
tical and religious matters. Ignorance of j
an enemy's position and power has over #
thrown many a gallant opponent, who if j
contending on an equality, would have prov t
en victorious. Let uot the enemies of Re- c

tion to, their strength and manner of warfare

Firtt. In regard to the strength and in- '
fluonco of Roman Catholics in the United ,
States. ~ ,
The Roman Catholic Magazine officially a
declared in 1854, that the number of mem- c
hers of that church in the Union amounted
to One Million. If this statement bo true, c
as it probably is, one person out of every ?
22 in the Uuion is a Roman Catholic. Think c
of that! Anti-Americans one million is I
among us, subject to a foreign power, and 1
ruled by a eorrupt Pope, whose last words to
his chief "American" Bishop were, "You l
must crush Republicanism in America." As- 1
suininc one out of ci-prv fivn to vnlom I
wo have 200,000 Catholic votes in the Un- '
ion. Weil might the Patriot and Chieftain
LaFayette bnvo uttered thoso prophetic v
words, "If over the liberties of America be t
destroyed, it will be through Catholic influ- 1
ence." The number of Catholic votes is iu- *
creasing every year. Each ship that ar- j,
rives in New York Harbor, brings accessions c
to their number, and soon they will number c
300,000 strong. " "
From the United States Census of 1850,
we glean the following items which have an j
important bearing on this subject, and moreover
can be depended upon for accuracy.
In the thirteen Southern States, the num- ?j
ber of Roman Catholic thnrches was 275, '
not including school rooms used as Chapels. ,l
The value of these was over three millions of
dollars, ($3,434 737.) They afforded ac- r
commiodation for 81,000 persons. Those t
items alone will show the strength of the *
sect at the South?where their numbers are j
comparatively feeble, contrasted with those g
at the North. We regret that the census t
does not give us more fuller information in t
regard to their Church membership. Owing c
to their strength and influence at the North, '
they are able to control in a great degree n
the popular election, and in the State of 1
New York, they dared to endeavor to pre- !
vent the introduction of the Bible into the 11
Common Schools but a few years ago.? ?
The same game was tried more recently in j
New Orleans, but thanks to the Protestants of
thnt city, was soon arrested.

with Eugenie, who is unquestionably

a pbrfect man, such as you describe, bim.
would be a bit of a nuisance; so noble and
so exalted, and so intelligent and pure, we
