I dare say the records have been ransacked by opposing candidates fur jour favor, and that the remits are familiar to you. I take from the paper of the day those to which I refer uncontradicted statements. Dear in mind, then, the fact that 8 foreign immigration, which, up to the Tear eighteen hundred, did not exceed five thousand per sons, ha rien, since eighteen hundred and fifty, tehalf a million, a id which, looking tu the ttate ot Europe, will probable, and in a very short time, mount up to a million a year. Now give free scope tiiyuur benevolent feel ingsexercise the most extended charity in (ruinating the probable number of these who re worthy men capable by a proper proba tionary term ol being rendered good citizens and what a fearful residuum will remain what a miM of prisonous itigrrdenis to be infused into the boJy politic! The census of 1853 shows that the number of foreign paupers and criminals exceeded that of the native paupers aud criminal, although the native population was seven time greater t tan the foreign. What w ould be your feelings ii poverty and crime existed in this proportion And to tlV.a extent among yourel-- ? If the quantum of pauperism aud vice ...at existed among yuu, was t'ie proportion of a popula tion seven timet greater in number than your own, what security would yoa have for y our free institution ? what guarantee for your in dividual rights ? Consider, alio, that t'leie emigrants, shun ting the South fio n their unwillingness to compete with slave labor and Socking to the North, from their abolition tendencies, in search of kindred spirits, are thus rapidly in creasing the majority against you in CongiVas, at every apportionment, aud will, unless checked, in no very great length of time, place t!e Constitution and the institutions of the South at the in e icy uf fanaticism.

Une of (h.-ae, that which announces their determi nation not to vote for or appoint Rommiits to oflice, has been the subject of much reprehen sion, and his been assailed as a violation of the liberty of consicence, which is secured by the Constitution. The provisions of that in strument, which are supposed to be violated, are contained in the concluding clause uf the third section of the fob article, and in the first clause of the first article of the amend ment. I he first, alter providing for admi nistering an oath to different public func tionaries, contains the (ullowing provision t ' But no religious test shall ever be requir ed as a qualification for any office or public trust under the United States." The second declare I " That Congress ahull make no law re specting an establishment of religion, or pro hibiting the fice exercise thereot." By what process of reasoning these pro! sionsufthe Constitution ran be made tuton Diet with the right of t'ie citizen to the unli mited exercise of his own free and uncontrol led wilt, in the enjoyment of his elective fran chise, I am utterly at a loss to discover, and I have sought it in vain, in such arguments of the objectors a 1 have had an opportuni ty ot perusing. The Mist clause relates to persons elected to office, and requires that they snail nave the oath or office administer ed to them, without being auhjecled to sue re ligious test. Aud this is the whole scope and eliVct of the act. It does not, even remotely, inter fere with the right of an individual to ex ercise his nun judgment in determining whe ther the religion of the candidate, or the want ol it, ought, or ought not, to influence hi in in casting his vote for or against bun. tins ..,,, i,.lllk, fl1, nia: f.,r.rriimenr.

The power ol granting pardons lor all sins, put, pi?sent ana tu come, is, and has been lor many centriea, one branch ol his spiritual power. . Jlut those who ac knowledge him to have this spiritual power can give no security for their alligiance, since they belie' e that the Pope can pardon rebellion, high treason, and all other sins whatsoever. The power of dispensing with any promise, oath or vow, is another branch of the spiritual power of the pope J all who acknowledge his spiritual power must ac- tiiowieuge tins, out wnoeveracKnou ledges the dispensing power of the Pope can give no security fur his allegiance to any government. Oaths and promises are gone ; they are as iijrtit as air a dispensation makes them null and void. Nay, not only the I'one, but even a priest, has power to pardon sins! This is an essential doctrine ol the Church of (tome. But they that acknowledge this can not possibly give any security for their alle giance to any government. Oaths are no se curity ; for a priest can pardon both ver- jury and high treason, Setting their religion aside, it is plain that, upon principles nl rea son, no government outiht to tolerate men who cannot eive any security to that trovern- inent for their allegiance and peaceable beha viour.

SCOTT It is asserted, upon the authority of seve ral Washington correspondents, that Secreta ry Davis aud Gen. Scott are engaged in a controversy, which hss elicited a good many sharp words on both sides. . This is not to be wondered at for no man has ever been treat ed more ungenerously, not to say meanly, than Gen. Nc;itt ha by the present Lillipu tian Administration. Not satisfied with dis allowing him back pay, a was certainly in tended to be done by the act of the last Con gress, authori7.ini the appointment of a Lieu tenant General, the Kitchen Cabinet take a malicious pleasure in oflTering him every man ner of provocation anil insult. In regard to this last controversy in which they have unnecessarily and wantonly involv ed the warworn veteran, we give the follow ing account of it by the Washington corres pondent of the New Yotk Times Washington. Friday, 8tpl. SI. It ha leaked out here that the War Depart ment is engaged in a sharp and bitter contro versy with Geu. Scott, ami that developments may be expected at the opening ol Congress, which will put the famous Marcy and Scott contest entirely in the back-ground. The affair i only remotely conndcted with t'ie question of allowing the General backpay, under the act of Congrestauthuiizing the ap pointment of a Lieutenant General, though it undoubtedly ha a bearins upon it. Mr. Cushing lia given the President a very ela brate opinion on the lezal question of the General' title to bark pay under the act, which is understood lo be aguinl it. No ac tion u:i this matter, however, ha yet been taken. The controversy relci'ieJ to grows out of another matter. It seems 'that some month "since, Gen. Scott g.ive Gen.
