The Administration and Mr. Calhoun. “he position ot Mr. Polk and his jadministration, ©. the Oregon question, and also the position of Mr. Calhoun end other distinguished leading poli- nieians, now begia to be very interesting and very important. This arises from the influence in their relative positions, which all those great men will have on the events of the future, either in this coun- uy or in our foreign affairs. We cannot be mis- taken about ihe position of Mr. Polk. The he-Pythoness of dministration, the Washington Union, has again and again told us, that he will take his ground down to 54 deg. 40 min.—tne whole of the Oregon territory, excluding entirely all right or atle on the part of England—that he is not a candi- date for re-election at all—and that there is agreat deal of interest felt for Mr. Calhoun at Washington; 30 much so that the Charleston { Mercury, hitherto supposed to be his organ, is now repudiated because it does not consider the right of the United States to Oregon full and complete. Mr. Polk, and the leaders of the various cliques, are now coming to close quarters. What the result may be, no one can tell. But it 1s very evident, that the Oregon question is going to produce an entire re-construction of the democratic party, throughout the country, if it do not lead us nto foreign movernents of a most important mag- nitude. We know, from the best sources, the whole character of the diplomatic correspendence which took place between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Pa- kenham, during the period that the tormer was in the State Department. Mr. Calhoun made a propo- sition to Mr. Pakenham, dividing the country by the 52d parallel of latitude, the line going round the island of Vancouver, and making that the boundary. Mr. Pakenham consulted his instructions, and de- clined entering into any negotiation on such a pro- position, but proposed to settle the difficulty by arbi- tration, or by umpire. This was peremptorily de- clined by Mr. Calhoun, and there the matter rested. Tt was during tais negotiation that the political op- ponents of Mr. Calhoun discovered, it seems, what he was about—passed a bill in the House of Repre- sentatives, taking possession of the whole of the Oregon territory, and which came very nearly pass- ing the Senate, had it not been for the negative votes of the South Carolina Senators. Mr. Calhoun de- clared, during the pendency of that bill, that if it had passed the Senate, this country would have been involved in a war with England in less than a year. it will be seen from this little diplomatic history, which is perfectly correct, because we know the correspondence which took place, that Mr. Calhoun was willing to negotiate and settle the Oregon question, on a principle of compromise similar to that which prevailed in the case of the Northeastern Boundary, under the management of Mr. Webster. Ne doubt the present administration of Mr. Polk, when he took his high and broad ground ef the possession of the whole of the territory, had in view the position which Mr. Calhoun and his tnends had assumed; and accordingly we now sée, that in consequence of this assumption of the high- est ground—the whole American claims—Mr. Cal- houn inthe south is naturally thrown into a most awkward and singular position, that will probably lead to his entire annihilation, and that of his friends as a party, looking for the succession in this country. When the question comes up in Con- gress, and the same law is presented, we have no doubt the west, and large portions of the democra- cy of the other sections, will vote for it; and if Mr. Calhoun and his friends in the south should vote against it, they will be set down side by side with Mr. Webster, and become the Siamese Twins on the British side of the question. This 11s the policy of Mr. Buchanan, who, with most remarkable forecast, and singular sagacity, is placing Mr. Calhoun in this position. Itis not Mr. Benton who has his finger in this mysterious movement, but, as we believe, it is the shrewd Pennsylvania Senator. All this fully explains the extreme sensitiveness of the Charleston Mercury. On this question the administration will certainly unhorse the great Southern statesman, un- less he get out of his present ground as quickly as possible But yet we believe that the present administra- tion, whatever some of its friends may think, will not be perpetuated beyond the presentterm. There is another great and important man in the West— and that is General Cass—whose position on the fo- reign affairs of this country is even broader, and stronger, and wider than that of any other man of the party. ‘What is your opinion of the Oregon question ” asked a politician in Michigan, of Gen. Cass. “‘ My opinion,” replied that distinguished statesman, “ is, that it is much better to fight on the first inch, than on the last !” Baurimore anp Lrverroot Line or Packers.—It 18 now pretty well understood, that a company {has been organised at Baltimore, for the purpose of esta- blishing a line of packets between that port and Liver- pool—an organization, we conceive, to be of incalcu- lable benefit to a city like that of Baltimore, occu- pying, ae she does, the third rankin the maritime af- fairs of the country, and enjoying peculiar facilities in every branch of trade and commerce. We only wonder that such a course was not long since adopted; and in order to carry out their pro- ject more effectually, we notice in one of their raovements an effort to purchase the splendid ne known in this city as the “ Dramatic, or £. K. Collins’ Line of Packets,” which is now offered ‘or sale. This we set down as an evidence ot their good judgment, as an acquisition of four such ships cannot fail to command their due share of patronage, densure their ultimate suc- cess. These vessels have an average tonnage of 1000 tons exch, possessing all the qualities that give to the New York vessels, strength and beauty, together with the most luxurious accommo. dations for passengers. In the event of losing these noble ships, that have so long graced our wharves we cannot but express a desire that some of our in. detatigable citizens will cause to be constructed four vessels, of equal strength and beauty, to fill the vacancy, Mosicau Criticism.—The Courier of yesterday ‘as anarticle commending the Deley troupe at the Park in the highest terms.

We have received from the publishers, James Munroe & Co., Boston, “The American Alm@nac and Repository of Useful Knowledge forthe year 1846,” which is a very useful compilation of statis- ties concerning the United States. From it we ex- tract the following summary of the principal reli- gious denominations in the United States,aceording to returns made by themselves in 1843 and 1845 :— Scumaky of THe Principat Revicious Denominatio: Accorvine To Returns Mave in 1813-5, anv py Es’ MATE. it) Commu- Churches.

From this it appears that the whole number of re- gular communicants is about one-fifth of the po- pulation of the United States. If we put down the cost of erecting all those churches at between 6 and $10,000 each, the gross amount paid out for that purpose will be $305,550,- 000. The gross amount of money expended in reli- gious worship will then appear to be as follows : Salaries of 32,563 Ministers, at $600 each. . . $16,281,500 Interest at 6 per cent on the cost of the ChHUPChEB, 6. eee cree eee eee ee + 18,339,300 TOtMhe 05 vans ersie 0 00 Ssaeien 614,800 Thus we see that the religious worship of one- fifth part of the people of this country costs annu- | ally the immense sum of $34,614,800, being a great- er amount than is required for the expenses of the government and all its branches, to which may be added several millions more, paid in supporting and holding missions abroad. Of the Ministers, the Episcopa lians are the fattest and best paid, and the Methodists and Catholics the poorest—the latter frequently being paid no stipula- ted salary, and obtaining a livelihood from their con- gregations—a coat from one—a pair of breeches from another. We understand that the progress of the Catholics, within the last ten years, has been very rapid, and greater in proportion than the Protestants. In 1834 their houses of worship numbered 272, while in 1845 the number has increased to 675, with over 1,000,- 000 of communicants. The Catholics are generally confined to the cities and small towns; the Baptists are scatiered princi- pally over the West and Southwest; and the Episco- palians are strongest atthe East. The Episcopalian Methodists are the most numerous sect in the coun- try, and the Reformed Methodists the smallest. Another singular {act we will mention, while we are on the subject is, that in politics the whig party 18 composed principaily of Episcopalians and Presby- terians, and the locofoco party is made up of Catho- lics, Methodists and Baptists. Many curious reflections suggest themselves to the mind on examining the above table. Is it not singular that the religion of one-fifth part of the en- tire population of these United States should cost more than is required to defray all the expenses of the Government, in all its branches! We have al- ways been of the opinion that the property of true religion is to give, or, as it 1s more significantly expressed by the best authority in these matters, “to visit the fatherless and widow in their afilic- tions.” Here, however, it would appear, if these tables are to be relied on, that the various sects which overspread this vast country gather from the community a larger sum annually than the whole revenue of the Union. It is a tax paid by this great nation, a metaphysical tax, collected from the mass of the people, exceeding in amount the whole reve- nue of the customs, and that produced by every species of taxation, direct or indirect. We hear . great outcries made concernirg the patronage of the General Government, and doubtless it is great; but what shall we say of the powers of sectarian patronage, when, as we here perceive, it wields the- mighty power of distributing $34,614,800 among its various chieftains? There is, however, another point of view in which this subject may be regarded, and there is something sad and melancholy in the contemplation. What can be more melancholy than to reflect that so large an amount of money should be gathered (and thence we are given tg conclude that it is ne- cesggry) to,sapport The ‘religion, the mental aspira- tions, the meetings and exercises of but one-fifth of our whole population? Then, again, how sad to behold the futile effects of all the zeal of the secta- rian phalanx! With this vast sum at their com- mand, a sum almost sufficient to bribe twice the number of people, they only succeed in converting, ifeven so much can be said of them, a fifth of the whole population ! Without extending our remarks on this prolific subject, we will content ourselves with laying down afew general principles, and even truisms, which force themselves to view on examining these state- ments. And first, then, it is plainly to be perceived that something more is wanting than money to ex- tend the domain of pure and genuine religion. Again, it is evident. en inspection of the tables, that those two sects which gather the least amount of money, have extended themselves, and are extend- ing throughout the country, more than their wealthier rivals. And lastly, when we take a survey of the moral condition of the country, and compare the advance of public morals, the spread of a sound moral feeling throughout the Union, pain- ful as the reflection is, yet the fact must be appa- rent to all observers, that the increase of moral good, and the spread of virtue, happiness, and con- tentment, is inversely as theefforts and spread of the religious secte’; in other and plainer words, the more the religious crusaders flourish, the less does truth, virtue, and moral improvement progress and prosper.

The Atlas, after alluding to the positive- ness with which the girl identified Dingleras the first of those who violated,per person, aed afterwards, on the trial ofDingler’s accomplice,swearing thatDingler was the second person, and not the first—states that after trial the girl wasdiscovered to be very dissipa- ted; and on these facts an application for pardon was made to the Governor, but rejected. Since then, the testimony of a witness who came over to this country in the same vessel with the girl, has been obtained, showing that her re; the ship was bad,and that she was s! of the female passengers, as she was undesstnod to have had free connection with the black cook of the ship,and was'‘caught in a situation with Mother of the crew,w hich forbid her claim to virtue. wise shown to the Governor that while she was confined in prison in New York asa witness, she was in the habit of having connexion with the sub- ordinates around the establishment; and that her conduct, when not in the presence of the keepers, was unrestrainedly wanton; and further, that since the trial of Dingler she has been a drunken brawler and prostitute. In addition to these facts the ph cian of the prison, who was an important witness against Ding!er, wrote to the Governor strenuously urging the pardon; and Mr. Whiting, the District Attorney, also wrote to the Governor signifying his diminution in his confidence of the correctness of the decision, from the bad character of the girl since the trial.
