The war between those who have and those who have not cannot raze in Ameri- ca while the Western prairies remain untilled. Politicians, therefore, in America find themselves at fault for work.

Pe) voters, Roman Catl ica The greatest ad however, of a democracy to popular , is, that when ax crit omes evident opinion, it tends to bring about its own cure. The ‘ision of some important and sharply contested elections, by means of foreiga votes, has alarm the native born citizens; and the Cvl's who crossed the Atlintic because they could not get Ireland for the Irish, find their ears deafened with the cry of “America for the Americans.” The vaunts by the Catholics of their p eas, the exercise of pricatly pores, #0 rey nt (4 pepublicgs es; euch, for instance, as Cardinal Bel forcing school children to kneel Lefore him, snd the exceptional glut of the labor market this year in“the seaboard cities, conse went on the commercial depression, have all given ‘ood to the new agitation. tide ina at joa ie ne enters sot this ita : @ seci society sag- ae itself, Perhaps. {t was. - borrowed fren ‘the against which it contends; and there may be nome peotent for it in the excuse alleged by the Know Nothing lodges in their mani- phe i eseeted a! perth Smit ry young le! . it eta, can sirvive the attacks and allurements “of the old rties with their selfish ol Nevertheless, we lieve that there is. something in the natare of a democracy which gives an especial attraction to se- cret societies. There isin them an appearance of exclusiveness, an imitation of aristocracy, which is alluring. However this may be, the success of this tiovement, though now apparently on the wane, has been wonderful. When Mr. Koberteon was in Americo—little more then @ year ago—the Kuow Notbings were only just Mtard of; their lodges now profess to number many hundreds of thousands of voters; through every State they are contestiag, ond, until lately in Virginia, generally carrying the elections, whether for Congress, State Legislatures, orGovernorahips; aud if they can agree upon o candidate for the Presidency there is a strong pro- bability that they may secure his election. So speedy and overpowering a success would nave been impossible without some real principle were involved, and, indeed, there is a principle asserted by this new party, than which none can be more important, viz., the —— of nationality. The Americans are still so Kuglish, that as Englishmen we cannot but rejoice over this assertion of Ameri- Can fceling; and as Protestants, it is pleasant for us to mark a manifestation of Protestantism. Never- theless there are two evils incident to the movement, to which we cannot but allude. The secrecy of its organization may have been expedient in the forma- tion of the society, and it may be congenial to the character of the pers but surely it is repugnant to the idea of a republic, where every citizen ought to be responsible to his fellows for the fulfilment of his citizenship. Nor can we believe that the des- ee government to which every scerct society must sabmitted, and which we understand im in this case most stringent, will long be submitted to by men 80 unused to dictation, Already we see symp- toms of growing insubordination; the lodge mem- Lera will not always vote as they are ordered; and the sympathy of those outside supports them against the threats and opprobrium of their fellow members. The secrecy, er, may be rid of; not 80, we fear, the religions intolerance which seems to be inseparable from the principles of the movement, In the manifesto above alluded to, this intolerance is indeed denicd; nevertheless, there is abundant proof of its actual, not to say virulent, ilar By the cecond article of the constitation of the Order, each Member “ must be a Protestant, born of Protestant parents, reared under Protestant influence,” gud if united to a Roman Catholic wife, “ he is not eligible toany office." The third article defines “ the object of th! organisations to be, “ to resist the insidious policy of the Church of Rome and other foreign in- fluence againet the institution of our country, by placing iu all offices in the gift of the people, or by appointment, none but native born Protestant ci zens.” The oaths are most solemn ; every “ Know- Nothing” biuds himself, therefore, to exclude a large number of his fellow-citizens from ail share in the administration: the exclusion from all share in the government—that is, the deprivation of the franchise—will be a natural conseqnence. It would ve well, however, if political disabilities were all that were aimed at. We hove by us many numbers of the Know Nothing, or American Crusader, a Boston paper, which professes to be the most inthuential organ of the Order, and: which boasts of its 400,000 readers. We defy Ireland to produce such a paper; it is the most rabid Orangism served with American slang; and even* The Tullet not more intole rant, while it is far less vulgar. It is full of exhorta- tions to exclude all Catholics from companionship, ond all Irish from employment; and this farrago of fanaticism and selfishvess is made attractive by tales describing the abominations of celibacy, with a pru- riency which can only be equalled in Eagland by Reynolds's “ Mysteries of the Court.” The effect of this teaching is evident enough in the style and tem- per of the correspondence which is inserted both in prose and verse. It is most sad to see America thus entering age that course of polemical conflict which bas heen the curse of Ireland, and Eagupd alo. Oar experierce, instead of being a warn! ngs appears to excite them to emulation, and the result will be the same: the cause of Romanism will be aided, not in- jured. Believing, as we du most firmly, that from the influence of the Romish Church there follow, and Tp bare follow, social degradation and na- tional ew riley we mourn over this spirit of per- secution, not only because it isan imitation, but be- cause it will be an aggravation of Romanism. The fear of priestly power in the States, though perhaps not annataral, i# unreason- able. he Roman Catholics are indeed ab- eolutely increasing, because of the foreign immigratious ; but they are relatively diminishing by the conversion of many of the immigrants. The {rish, as they improve in circumstances, notoriously ceare, either themselves or their children, to be Ca- tholics. Archbishop MacHale preaches in Con- baught agamst the exodus, because of what he calls its irveligious effect; and according to the #ta- tistics of Mr. Mullen, an American priest, the nam- ber of Roman Catholics in the States is hardly two millions, instead of being, ae by netaral increase it should have been, about four millions. The faith which “ Protestant ascendancy” and territorial ty- ranny had wound round the Celtic heart, becomes loosened by the ‘ion of republican eqaality : let the Protestants of America enact the penal laws of Ireland, or exhibit its Orangism, and they will quickly restore to the priests their influence.” Per- secution ia @ game by which Romanism is sure to gain. Returning, however, to our sulject—viz., the foreign policy of the Republic--the ieiceane upon itof this new agitation seems to us likely to be beneficial. Both the two ¢ principles of the “ Know Nothings,” or, aa they eail theinselves, the American party, ere antagonistic to annexation, or rather to such annexation as has lately been in agita- tion. Their feeling of nationality, including as it does a pride of 1ace, indispo-es them to admit Mexicans,or Spaniards, or Indians fellow citizeas: their Pro- jestuntism makes them averse to form States out of Cube or Mexico, the representation of which in Con- gress would probably be Romanist. Moreover, both the asrertion of nationslity, and the destraction of the old factions parties and personal coteries, is an advantage. It ia easier to deal with a nation than a clique: doubtless it is the more necessary for us to treat the former with dne respect, and consideration ~above all, with etraightforward openness. But if we do £0, we have @ right to expeet that it will show tespect to itvelf, Mr, Soulé’s French birth would of course place him under the ban of the Order; but even bad he been a native American, we should have been surprised if a “Know Nothing” President had given him an office, and we shall also be sur- rived if a Know Nothing” administration does not cep down the filibusterers with a much stron; hand than does the present one.

Again, there will remain in reality only two politics! par- ties in the repablie—the free party and the ive power. . This sutject of American slavery is 0 sorrowful and wearisome, the Americans are 80 sensitive at its mere mention by an Englishman, that we had boped to aveid its dixcnssion in thie paper; but it is im- seible: it reeure at every step of every argument, t enters into the consideration of every contingency, ‘The foreign policy of every nation is after all pendent on its internal icy, and with every act of the repatlic, slavery is involved.

The South at first. greedily seized hold of this * Know Nothing agitation,” in the hope that it might divert the North from the advocacy of freedom. Spite, however, of the efforts of many of its leaders to shirk or postpone the slavery orion, already the Americau party is divided upon it. In the South they are, of cotrse, pro-slavery men ; in the North, the Know Poring sotees of New Hamp- shire—Pierce’s own State—have lately recorded their npanimous disapproval of the Nebraska act ; and Wilson, the Know Nothing Scaator of Massa- chusetta, has declared, in his place in the Capitol, what slavery has to expect from the North, with a confidence of power which cowed into civility even the hot hended Southerners. The North is in, iteclf, and the South knows it. The foreign policy ‘ot the South, therefore, is to idemnify the slave power aging’ the Joss of Northern support to this object alone does the South confine ita¢lf, and every year will the foreign policy of the North be more and more restricted to a counteraction of these ef- forta of the South. Amid, however, all the fear- ful uncertainties of this question, of one fact we have little doubt. There can be no interference by America in European affairs until the slavery pro- blem be solved; even if the slave party had the will to fight for European freedom, which it has not, however loud its professions, neither the slave nor the fice party have the power. All the energies of both will be absorbed in their mntual conflict, and all the strength of the commonwealth will be needed to Pere this conflict from causing its disruption. here may be, there will be, an alliance between the vernments of Creat Britain and of the United ites; our mutual interests and relationship will prevent a rupture; but there will be no ertente cor- diale, How can there be while America has a Rus- sia within her borders?

Snperior Court—In Chambers. Before Hon. Judge Hoffman. CASES UNDER THE 24671 SECTION OF THE CODP. Ava. 14-~Mortimer Porter va, Sam'l E. Lent The summons is for the relief demanded in the com- plaint, in case of a neglect of the defendant to an- ewer. The case made by the complaint is, that the defendant was an agent for the collection of rents Lelonging to the plaintiff; payments on account are stated, and a request that the defendant would furnieh a full account ofj his dealings; his re- fusal; the inability of the plaintiff to state the precise eum due, but that he believes such balance is at least $550. The demand is for a discovery and account, and for judgment for such sum as shall be found due upon the said accounting, with interest and costs of the action. The defendant bas not ap- peared, and application is made for judgment under the 246th section of the Code. The plaintiff pro poses to take judgment for the snm of $550. Th complaint is verified. Ido not think such a judg ment ia warranted by the Code. The first subdi vision clearly does not apply. Under that the sam- mons must contain the amount of the money de- manded—certainly under the first clause; probably in all the cases within that section. And again, the case is not within the second clause of auch first sec- tion, Lecaure the complaint is aworn to. Under the second subdivision the Court is to be applied to for the relief demanded in the complaint; and here the 275th rection is of importance. The relief to be granted, if there is no answer, cannot ex- cced that which is demanded in the com- plaint. In other cases Lee relief may be inted which is consistent with the case made. e second subdivision provides that in other ac- tions the plaintiff may apply to the court for the re- lief demanded in the complaint. If the taking of an account or the proof of any fact be necessary to enable the court to give judgment, or to carry the judgment into effect, the court may take the account, or hear the proof, or may, in its discretion, order a reference for that purpose. The relief then demand- edin the complaint defives and limits the power of the court as to the judgment to be given. It is not the case made, but the judgment asked for, which controls, In the present instance this is for on account and payment of the balance, to be aseer- tained upon it. { think there must be a reference to take the account as sought. Attention has beon called to "he *6th rule of the Supreme Court, ax im- plying that applications of this natare must be made at special term. In the case, alxo, of Ryan vs. Me- lonevell (1 Sondford D. C., Rep. 709) 2 eliailur view was taken: andthe 47th (present 87th) section of the Code was referred to, which directs that judg- ments upon appeals shall be given at the general term, and all o the special term. The eave in Ist Sandford was decided in 14s. Jn 1559 this court adopted, among others, the fifth rule, oh teed that ncmenvmerated motions will be he heard by one of the justices at the special term room and the chambers daily, with certain exceptions. For such motions, and for the purpose of making all necessary orders and giving jndements in causes vader chapter — of title eight of the second part of the Code, a pec ialterm will be held every day during the vaca- tion, at 10 o'clock A. M. ‘This chapter comprises the 245th, 246th and 247th sections of the Code, and jedguents of this nature are now warranted. Leopold Horn vs. Michael Doody and Jacob Nigrr.— The action was one of claim and delivery to recover certain articles of farnitare and pictures, with damages for the detention. The defendant ap- peared and demanded a copy of the complaint. ‘This was duly rerved, and the time for answering or demurring is shown to have expired. Fight days’ notice of an application for the relief demanded, has been doly rerved. The summons was for the relief demanded in the Age aint. The last clonse of the second enbdivision of section 246 governs the case. ‘The action is for the recovery ot one ied personal property, with damages for the withholding thereof. he damages in such a case are to be assessed by & jury, or if the examination of # long account be in- volved, by a reference. I cannot direct a reference ax neked for. There is noaccountinvolved. Lagree that the plaintiff may take judgment for the delivery of the articles, if he waives the claiin for damages; otherwise a jury must aesesa them. The regular course is to direct assessment by the Sheriff. wry. (3 Pr. = 1 Code Rep. 117.) Sach will the order in the present case. Marine Court. Retire Hon.
