It bends the rays of the sun from their path to give us the twilight of evening and of dawn ; it disperses and reUacts their various tints to beautify the approach and the retreat of the orb ot day. but tor the atmos phere, sunshine would burst upon us and ‘ail us at once, and at on. e remove us from midnight dark ness to the blaze of noon. We should have no , twilight to soften and beautify the landscape, no clouds to shade us from the scorching heat but the bald earth, as it revolved on its axes, would turn its tanned and weathered, front to the full and unmitigated rays of the lord of day. It af fords the gas which vivifies and warms our frames, and receives into itself that which had been pollu ted by use and is thrown off as noxious It feeds the Same of life exactly as it does that of fire ; it.; is in both cases consumed aud affords the food of; consumption ; in both cases it becomes cuinl mod with charcoal, which requires it for combustion, and is removed by it when this is over. “It is only the girdling encircling air,” says a writer in the’ North British Review, “that j flows above and around us, that makes the whole j world kin. The carbonic acid with which to day , our breathing fills the air to-morrow seeks its j way round the world. The date trees that grow round the falls of the Nile will drink it in by their leaves; the cedars of Lebanon will take of it to add Jto their stature: the cocoa nuts of labitit will grow rapidly upon it; and, the palms and bananas of Japan will change it into flowers. The oxygen we arc breating was distilled lor us j some short time ago by the magnolias of Susque-. hanna and the great trees tlmt skirt the Orinoco ( and the Amazon; the giunt rhododendrons of the Himalays contributed to it, and the roses and myrtles of Cashmere, the cinnamon tree of Cey lon, and the forests older than the flood, buried , deep into the heart of Africa, far behind the mountains of the Moon. The rain wo sec do- i cending was thawed for us out of the icebergs , which have watched the Polar star for ages; and ; and the lotus lilies have soaked up from the Nile , and exhaled as vapor snows that rested on the summit of the Alps.” “The atmosphere, - ’ says Maun, “which forms , the outer surface cf the habitable world is a vast reservoir, into which the supply of food design ed for living creatures is thrown; or, in one word, it is itself the food in its simple form of all living creatures.

They did not desire j it, and, in my opinion, they did nut intend to j allow it. j What could our American friends do! They had shown a willingness to unite with us. ‘I hey had c,line and were coming upon a platform with us which did not even ulhule to T e Amer ican party and were even offering the olive branch of peace to their enemies. It was not i only refused, but contemptuously refused. They I were abused, vilhlied, slandered, and litisrej'O'e j seated. Even Johnson and Siepliens, as did llerod and l’ihlte, oti a memorable occh.uuii. j uxiliC friends it) this, to them, genial warfare up jon this American party; and a thofisaud lessor j iiglrts. in every part of the State, were burdening the air with their dies ot eiunity them, cruelly them.

Stc | plicns refused to unite with us,and our object was 1 defeated. L’lidyr this state of facts 1 cannot ! blame the American party for organizing and accept ing the challenge of their adversaries, • i-speetallv -wlreir their National ( omieil in - 11,.- mean time had given them such an acceptable j platform, although 1 regretted to sec them leave (us.

They abused the A "now Nothings, and abused ns for being with i them even on a Southern platform, until the I Know Nothings turned upon them and I gave ! them signal for battle. The contest is getting warm, and those very men that so lately abused, us, are now softly calling on us to help them; whip the Ktiow'Nothuigs., Shall we do so ! For one, I answer, never ! It is clear that there is no chance of uniting the Southern people un til this contest between Americans ami anti-! Americans is laser, We can do no good by j standing idle now, amT ’whatever may have been | my preferences or my scruples heretofore, I shall • not hesitate to take open and decided ground j with the American party. I will not enter into’ a discussion of the America:! principles in this letter. Oil this subject, I will see the people face to face in every part of the district. Your Convention has nominated me with my j position and my principles well known and under stood. I had no fight to expect it, but in tender ing it you have effectually repulsed the charges, jof selfish proscription so often recently made against the party. Knowing my principles, as you did, and endorsing them as you have done. I leaves me no alternative but to meet you in the spirit which you have so nobly manifested, and aeoi >* your nomination. With the American ba ‘- or streaming above me 1 shall enter the , battle at the head of our gallant column in the I fourth district, and however fiercely it may rsgo, I shall sound no retreat, but shall rather fall like it prince, and die like a soldier, oile of you.

What a coincidence between this and Mr. 1 Jefferson’s opinion. From these “ absolute mon archies” says Mr. Jefferson, “we are to expect ( the greatest number of emigrants.

I 1 ". ■ Thomas A. \iid-.ison of this State, then in Lo> • t Editor and Proprietor. don, with a view to sell Tennessee land* to emi grants bound for the United Slates, wrote honod as follows: Los nos, England, Aug. 2ft, 1842. ‘Or. W. U. Xorton —Dear Sir: I have found it almost an inqiossibility to sell lands in Tennes see, to the emigrant* from this country. tenths of them have the insuperable objection that it ia a slaveholding State. Their prejudice! in this respect are deep ami rooted. Thej- go to | America with tin*.fierce and fanatic feehftgs ot j the O'Conncir*, the Buchiughama, and the j Thompsons, <>n the subject of slaver V, to Melt the ; ranks of the Abolitionists there. I hitvß cunver*- jed with hundred* of the emigrant*, going rt I from Eondoti and Liverpool to the United States, 1 and find them for the most pail an ignorant peo i ,-p,— ln Fact." tm ring no Correct ideas or know- U-dge of our system of government—of our social ami political -tats—of our civil ami religioua li bel tv. ‘I bey have hoard of America as a lands where every one in the nou-slaveholding States docs pretty much he ph-ases.; and- wherein the | sladeliol-ling States, tlie negroes work in chains for their w hite masters, ami are subjectedtoatar -1 vat ion ami coii-tant stripes, and almost every cru *•l treatment. Thus.imprcsaed, fully nine-tenth* of j these emigrants go to America, thinking and j feeling they have a minion to aid in abolishing slavery there. “The most intelligent of the emigrant* frond this country will make yoexl citizens, and our na , turali/ation laws, as to them, are sufficiently ’ guaideil, ami restrictive, but certainly they ought to he revi-ed ami so mwlified as lo pvt all the ig-’ | norant das* ahov** described, on a much longer probation than is now required, that they may have sufficient time to become more enlightened* ami well acquainted with the principles of ons government before they are admitted to tbv eminent privilege of voting.” T'lic fruits of that immigration appear in thtr following offioial figure*. The census tables show that there were in 1850 living in the Northern States of the Union a foreign-born population of 1815.382. Os these, 1.575,183 were living in tho follow ing seven Northern States, to wit : New York, C5i,80l Massachusetts, 160,009 Vermont 32.801 l’cmisylvania, 204.871 °>>i“ 218,512 Illinois,. 110,594 W iscoimin. 100,695 Total 1.57 MW In the<o seven Free States, which contain near’ !y all the foreign population of the country, Mar tin \an ffuren, when he was the Abolition candi date for the I’res dency in 1848. received a vote of tM6 iVehideney'in that year, received 122,929 votes, out of a total vote of 157,296—a1l except 34,367. These seven States notoriously foster and sustain ail, or nearly all of the more violent —a r -ntiiwl abolition politicians of the North—-they are the hottest of ull hot beds of abolition fanaticism ia the L’uion. Take New York, fur example, the largest of those States : Van Burcn, Dix St Cos., no* toriously head the strongest division of the old democratic party —Seward, Grccly St Cos., noton* oii-ly head the strongest division of the old whig party. Thu sound Dickinson men, among the democrats, and the sound national men, or silver greys, among the whigs, are each confessedly in a minority. There is perhaps still a worse state of things in Massachusetts. In Ohio, Giddingp boasts <d 30,000 Abolitionists of foreign birth— and there it is known that V'an Boren’s Abolition vote in 1848 was 35,354. Illinois is not so un sound ns some of the others, but it is because the Southern part of the State is settled op with a sound American population, many of them from the Southern Stutes—there being 32,000 native Tennesseeans among them—but the Northern por tion is full ot foreigners and nbolitionists— as, for instance, in the city of Chicago, where a majority of the population is of foreign birth, where Senator Douglas was burnt in effigy by tbc German aboli tionists for moving tbe Nebraska bill, where “long John Wentworth” a free soil democrat is regularly sent to Congress, and where there is not such an abolition hole in the Union—unless it is in Boston, where in 1850 there were 40,000 foreigners — or Cincinnati, where the foreign population is also in the ascendant. In Pennsylvania occurred the Christiana abolition murders. In Wisconsin and Massachusetts the fugitive slave law ha* been nullified. But I pass from these details, with tha single remark that, if wc turn to the Southern section ol’ the Union we will find that, in Missouri, Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky, where the eign vote is largest in proportion to population, j the freesoil sentiment is also the most prevalent. ! will vint detain you with quotations which have > been so often published, showing how W ashington I Jefferson. Madison, and other sages of the revolu , tion foresaw tho erils that are now upon us, and left their warnings to their countrymen ; how i Lafayette cautioned us against the Roman Prieete; I hffw the good old Gen. Harrison, before be died, gave the sentiment that Americans should do their own voting ; and how Gen. Jackson In his Coin* man letter, expressed the apprehension that “by oar present policy” of “feeding the paupers and laborer* of England” we might “become pauper* ourselves, - ’ and declared that “it is time that we should become a little more Americanised. I need not stop to point you to distinguished pa triots of the present day, whose names have been [given to the public as friends to the American movement, among which, outside of Tennessee, are the following distinguished men of the democratic party—Sam Houston, Commodore Stockton, Gov. Thurston, of Rhode Island. Gen. McCalla, of Ken tucky. Gov. Shannon, of Ohio, Hon John W. Bar kiT, of New York. Hon. Mr Smith, of Alabama, ! Senator Adams, of Mississippi, and scores of other* whose name* are not yet public. ‘• But I will hurry to the details touching the Ro man Catholic movements ngainst this country.— The Duke of Richmond hoit.s they will “subvert the government.’ - and he has -‘conversed with many of the sovereigns and princes of Luropc.’’ and they “have come toan understanding upon this subject.
