The following keen remarks were made by Mr. Leigh in reply to fhe animadyersions of Nr. Forsyth, upon the enormous enor- mity the sins Of the citizens of Baltimore in breaking the sanetity of the Sabbath, by holding meeting in the city on that day:

 Mr. Leigh felt no desire to take part in this conversation, but he could not fofbear remarbing, as one of the prominent "signs of the tIfnes,n he introduction of religion into tbe political affairs of inc Union. The other day, he had heard gentleman in an- other place drawing a parallel between the present times ln this country and those of Charles ]. and Oliver Cromwell III Eng land. He could not but wish that the gen. tleman from Georgia had been present. That gentleman had alluded to the meeting which took place at Baltimore on the Sab bath. The Hon. Senator, with his genius, he was sure, could not fail to discover one point of resemblance Ill that parallel.

 He, Mr. L., did not mean to defend any irregularities ofthe Sabbath, or to yindicate the people of Baltimore for having assem- bled on the Sabbath. The President was very religious nan-so was the gentleman from Georgia! He had no doubt of it. not the least. And, as he Mir. L.) should not Interfere between the conscienees of those individuals and he53' God, so should the gentleman not interfere between the consciences of the people of Baltimore and their God. He, (Mr. L.) could not resist telling story. A clergyman, remarkable for his Piety, was speaking in the presence ot q stranger, who did not know him, i'll terms of charity, of some irregularity, folly or vice, which that stranger thought very enormous. He then asked the clergyman this question: "sir, have you any religion in your heart?" The clergyman replied, ''none to talk of"

 Mr. Forsyth said, that of the religion of the President he did not think it proper to speak. He knew little or nothing about the matter, and therefore should not interfere with It. But of his own, as the honorable Senator from Virginia had referred to it. he Lnight say something. He regretted to in- form the gentleman, that, with respect to his religion, as well as many other topics. concerning which he had heard him express nlmseli, he was greatly mistaken He I NIT. was very, very sorry, he was not religious man. Now, with regard to the gentleman's story: he really did not under stand its point, and could not make any re- ply to It; nor did he understand his allusion to the days of Charles 1 and of Cromwell. lie had certainly done nothing to imply. a suspicion that he had attempted to address hlmseH 10 the false feelings of certain class of the community. He had seen such things done here several times, at which he had felt much mortified; but, nevertheless, he he treated such efforts with the most pro- found contempt
