Dear Sin : In reply to your kind letter of the i Hth instant. I lake nleasure in saviny that, crate tul lor the loo partial estimate you place on my pu''lic services, you do me no more than justice in assuming that I entertain 'kind and liberal vjt;ws toward eur naturalized citizens.' Certainly, it would be impossible for me to recommend or sup port any measure intended to exclude them from a just and lull participation in all civil and politi- j cal rijrliis now secured lo lliotn by our republic . U laws and instittttioas It is tiue, that in a season ol unusual excitement, 3om years ago, when both parties complained of fraudulent practices in the naturalization of for eigners, and when there seemed to be danger that native and adopted citizens would be permanently arrayed against each other in hostile factions, I was inclined lo concur in the opinion, then avow ed by many leading statesmen, that some modifi cation of the naturalization laws might he necessa ry in order lo prevent abuses, allay strife, Mid restore harmony be I ween the different classes of our people. But later experience and refTcMon have entirely removed this impression, and dissi pated my apprehensions. In my resent campain in Mexico, a very large ' proportion ol ihe men under my command were your countrymen (Irish.) Germans, &c. I wit nessed with admiration their zeal, fidelity, and vm lor in maintaining our flag in the face of everv tl .peer.

Perhaps no man, certainly no American, owes so much to the valor and blood of Irishmen as mvself. Manv 'hem marched and fought under my command - .1 ,i ,n,,. mm. i . l!i ute war oi iou'-io. and many more thou sands in the recent war with Mexico, not one ol whom was ever known to turn his back upon tht enemy or a friend. 1 salute you, gentlemen, with my cordial respects, (Signed) Wixkielp Scott. Pv. Tyler. C. McC.ullay. W. Dickson, P. W. Conroy, and J. McCann, Esqrs., Committee, &c, Wobly Done. If anything could mitigate the miseries of our neighboring cities, now suff ring under the scourge, it would seem that the ready and almost unex ampled kindness and sympathies expressed for them would do so. in all quarters, there has been awakened an interest in their condition, which has not spent itself in words but has become fiuitl'ul in noble and generous actions. In ihe great num ber ol such cases which have come to our knovvb edge we have not fell it our duty to call parlicolar attention to any single one. But one has just reached us, ol such peculiar claims upon public regard, that we cannot refuse ourselves the grati fication we re .Hy feel, in especially noticing it. The mechanics of Haw Hiver, on the line of the. North Carolina Railroad, determined to give some relief to Norfolk and Portsmouth, and for that purpose (having nothing to give hut their labor) ihey desired a day's wages to be set apart for the purpose. It was done ; and th fruit of that day's labor, amounting to 2,00l) pounds of flour, is now on 1 wav tn ",e '!i"teieil ciliss. These workmen, we are in,rmed, are all hardworking people and earn 'hcirdiily living by the sweat of their brow. ' naie no aouoi lhat day s labor was ihe sweelesl ; mi. y ever enjoyed. Such instances of kindness "se ue lli,v: never seen are beautiful illus'ro- ,,0,,s' I1! " practical form, of the sentiment uttered lj-v ,he RmaI pmt : "ilumo sum nihil humanurn a me alienum auto." In alier time, this action will be remembered and rewarded. Richmond Enquirer. To the Editor of the Washington Union : sj, . i i f - ', , tstn : I enclose a paragraph, cut irom the etter nf iK..

He will certainly be rearj put ol (he Tabernacle. Church and Slate Religion and r' ' ' politics. " Churches established and maintained by, or, identified with, lb State, have always met with more or less opposition from churches no' ihus favored wiib exclusive protection, privileges, and patronage, and professing to be annimated by a more true, sound, evangelical spirit. One of Ihe main objects of the Reformation was a severance of Church from Slate, religion frurn politics ; and we may here add, that one of the causes of ibe opposition of the Protestant world to Calholicism is not because the- Romish creed is iu total antago nism to the West-minister Confession of Fai'h, or the Thirfv-nine Articles, as because the spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Church is the Pope, and that Pope n temporal prince, whose temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction it is alleged, is limit d only by the earth's circumference. We will not stop to inquire into the truth or falsity of the allegation. It has been promptly and spiritedly denied by some of the highest dignitaries of the of ihe Catholic Church on both sides of the Atlan tic ; and were the charge true, we wculd be among the first to denounce such gross and scan dalous usurpation of civil power. We do not blame men for indignantly protesting' against the assumption of any such power, or for iheir oppo sition to the head of any church' who; as they sincerely believe, claims such power a$ one' of the prerogatives of his high office ; but we do blame men professing to entertain such corrccVsc'ntiments, who practise literally what they denounce profusely. At the present time the aid of the Protestant Church of the United States is invoked, and in too many instances successfully invoked, to destroy the democratic party, in order that unchecked and unlimited sway may be given to the intolerant and proscriptive doctrines of Nnow Nothingism. During the last twelve mcn'hs the novel, startling, and disgraceful spectacle has been seen in nearly every State of the Union, of Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or I5piscnai elprgvmen abandoning their pulpits for the stump, engaging in the hitter strife of politics, and willingly as suming oath-bound obligations which no Christian or patriot could subscribe to without a sacrifice of conscience, honor, and duty. P over the inconsistency of men who profess to be the uncom promising opponents of priestcraft, and yet seek to obtain political triumphs through priestcraft, let us look al this branch of the question in a religious point of view. "jt js vour pari," said John Wesley to his preachers, "to be peAce-makers ; to be loving and tender to all, but to addict yourselves to no parly. In spite of all solicitations of rough or smooth words say not one word against one or the other side; keep yourselves pure; do all you can to help and soften all; but be wars how you adopt another's jar." Charles Wesley wrofe: "As to public affairs I wish you to he like minded with. me. I am of neither side, and yet of bo'h. Private Christians are excused, exempted, privi leged to take no part in civil troubles. We love all and pray tor all wilh a sincere and impartial love. Faults there may be on both sides, but -uch ns neither you nor I can remedy." Such doctrines miv be denounced and ridiculed bv such divines as R-v Mr. Clinton, of Mississip pi; K v. Mr. antes, ot Maine; and Kev. Mr. Brownlow, of Tennessee ; hm they are doctrines which must meet with the henrly approval of every true Christian, he he Protestant or Catholic. WasJiirtpton Union. Alchison Rc-Elcctcd. By the Examiner of September 1, printed ai Jefferson. Mo., we are informed lhat ihe Missouri Legislature had re-assembled at that place, and proceeded on Wednesday, August 29. h, to ballot afresh for a United Slates Senator to fill ihe seat of the Hon. David R. Atchison, whose term ex pired on the 3rd of March last. We have no re turn of the two first ballots, but the 3rd and 4'h resulted as follows : Third. Fqitph. David R. Atchison, 24 2f3 ' Thomas H. Benton, 13 10 Samuel II. Woodson, H 9 M. M. Marmaduke, 3 Whereupon Atchison was declared duly elected a United Slates Senator' for ix years from the 4ih of March last. The Examiner, which has al its head, " For President in 1856, Hon. D. li. Atchison, of Mis souri," thus exults : g- . Ca lection of Ukn. Atchison. We send forth greeting to Aboiittondom ihe news that the ir great foe, the Hon. D. R. Atchison, the able and uncompromising champion of Anti-B nton Demo cracy am! Sttite Rights, is re-elected to that high place which be so It-rig and so honorably filleld, and which the foes ol Southern institution hail hoped he would never again occupy ihe United States Senate. The Hon. D. R. Atchison, by ihe fully expressed will of ihe people, and after me ol the hardest contests that ever characterized our Legislature, has been restored to the councils of Ihe nation. The candidate's were Gen. Atchison, Thomas If. Benton and the Hon. S. H. Woodson. After three most exciting sessions, in which the claims of each candidate were most stoutly main tained by his respective friends, the A tili-Benton-iles carried iheir champion triumphantly through. The election took place at the Wednesday night j session of the Legislature. The s 'ssien was an t unusually excituig one ; every artifice was resort , to by our opponents to defeat an election ; but al er being prolonged till between 12 and 1 o'clock, the indomitable Ii lends of the Sou h brought on the final ballot, which resulted in tbe re -eject ion of their candidate. Be monism is buried in the tomb of the Capulets, Abolitionism throughout the Union abashed, and another upholder of the Con stitution secured io the service of the nation."
