J 1 rapidly than be has done at any nfonient of his existence, ami his strength will continue to increase at a vastly accelera ted ratio from this time until the Presi dential election. tender our thanks to the wri ter of the subjoined article, which was intended as a communication for our col umns. So happily does it express our ideas in regard to the matters referred to, that we adopt its sentiments as our own, and place it i't our editorial columns. Mr. Christy; Amongst the duties remaining to be performed by the Ameri can party, is that of securing the fruits of victory—of vindicating by proper and adequate results, the practical value of our principles, in selecting men to carry them out. This duty is forced upon us because it were bootless to con vince our fellow citizens of the truth —of our doctrines, if we allow our adver saries to reap the harvest of reward in the field where we have sowed the pre cious seeds of virtuous politics and an enlarged conservatism. The-day approaches when our people must nominate their candidates for the Legislature in the different copies of thfe State. To do this wisely, and well, and exhibit the distinguishing charac teristics of our order—requires a wise adjustment of the character of the work men to be employed to the purpose to l>c accomplished. Let our friends, therefore, in entire disregard of party differences, nomi nate for their candidates men ef steady inodes and methods of thought—of sta ble mind and purpose—men who are l'rank and manly, yet circumspect, pru dent and mindful, not only of what per tains to their true position as gentle men, but who also feel the high respofi- sibT.ty which the lu'dmtof our goed cause imposes. Let this be done nnd the public expectation will he met, and a satisfactory guaranty given, that we are determined, God being our helper and guide, to have the good of the Con stitution and country constantly in our mind’s eye, in all things, from the incep tion of our principles to the utmost end of our measures. In the present frame-work of our or ganization proper, it is said to be a rule, ami one founded upon many valued and wise reasons, not to be abandoned until after the first elections are over under <rtir banner as a nali mal party—that our selections of candidates must be from our own order, though we know there are many good and worthy men outside who are with us and will vote with us, who would make as good mem ber < as our own people. The rule, as I understand it, being based upon the idea that the party ntusl be started on a strong bond of union, a uniform ritual of political faith. Let no one outside object to this, because for the present elections it affords the best guaranty of success. This rule, like that requiring secrecy, is in the process of relaxation,and like that,when the party has become solidified, will be abolished, so that outsiders can act with us, although the rule seems exclusive, If our cause is good, therefore, let all who wish us well come up “ like a strong man armed” and do battle in our cause, content to know that though this year his friend cannot be put in power, because «<f our rules, yet when the order gets old enough to have one entry in its historic record, the rule will be abolished. The adversary has again began his dirty work in our midst, and our people arc in more danger from insidious at tacks and approaches, than open as saults. The mode of warfare adopted by our enemies a short time back, and to some exte:.t continue until now, w.is to meet our arguments with billings gate and our positions with blackguard ism, first to cry out” Whig tricV'—then 11 Abolitionism,” failing in these gen teel, we! I bred modes of conducting a campaign—these (with them) well con sidered adaptation of means to ends.— t icy again vary the attack and try to frighten the timid by telling them there is hut “ a corporal's guard of you any how, and you had better quit the con cern.” %. Brethren, perhaps you have all heard the ttory o' the negro’s rabbit. I know you have, so I will not tell it; you can make the application. Finding from a few public demon strations, that Sam is somewhat ugly looking in his overalls—the tune is again changed, and the notes of half approval and feint disparagement float around “ as 'tivere soft as any sucking dove,” and puny praise is bestowed by thes.de of lusty censure, a lit.lc wheat it ^ut mostly tares. Let our friends be ware.' 1 i But there i» another point of attack which our friends cannot too strongly guard, because practical danger here creeps in. Til s point o» alack will be much occupied for i few weeks just iho American nominations ar.i made. It is an old trick, but,can nevey be watched too closely. It is well known that the American party has on its rolls many valuable members, who have worked with manly zeal, hearty and patriotic good will for our cause, and perchance who may have suffered because of their activity in our service. Now we cannot, nor Cum any party reward all the good fel lows who bare commended themselves to the heartwarm affections of their brethren, by manly effort. Some have for the present to be passed by, toe wish tee could reward them as they deserve. Still as matteis are, they must bide their time, having for their present re- waid, the proud consciousness that they have Jischnrged their doty, their whole duty. To nil such, it is an old trick, having neither the merit of honest, manliness, or smart originality, fur the enemy to-run with expressions such as these, “ I understand they have thrown you overboard,’’ V old fellow you ought to have been run, for the truth ts^vou have done and suffered more foil litem than any ten men amongst them,” an other whispers, *‘ I understand that your crowd think you are m t a man of sufficient popularity or importance to be run for the Legislature,” “ were 1 you, and had your strength and friends, I would make them respect me,” and such like expressions. These we shall hear thick and often in the next few weeks. Let our fellow citizens keep a sharp look out for such approaches. A good way meet them, wuuld be with a hearty laugh, or by adopting the cock ney style of pulling the under eye lid w.th one finger and asking these mis- chiefimakers, “ do you see anything green under here ? There is still another mode of annoy ance and disturbance, much in vogue about these parts just now, having as little claims to originality of conception, but which lays strong claims to under hand mealiness. This system is deli berately mean and wicked, and consists in carrying tales, partly real, partly imaginary, mostly false, and always trial,cious, from one leading member of the party to another, for the purpose of sowing dissensions; and having failed to fall upon a jdan, which promises suc cess in tlie mass they adopt this mean and ridiculous mode of breeding jealous- es to slay us in detail. Several of al the above modes of attack have been tried during the past week. Genllttne; your game is discovered it botltered us a little at first but since we have got the run of it we canjriay it back, again, if yon desire to practise this liberal man ner of conducting a campaign. There is another mode of attack to which our people should be directed Our party consists of insiders and out siders. An effort is now making and will continue to be made to dislroy both, by divisions, by promoting jcalonses be tween those bretbreu and friends. He only is a true friend to our cause, wbe ther inside or outside who stands up to our measures, our principles and our men, unless from personal motives he i to be excused. Let all who are with us therefore, all who love us, and all who wish us well watch the enemy whether he coines in the more manly form of open abuse or the more cunning, supple and dangerous forms above refered to, as both are intent on mischief. Mr. Christy, can you not impress the above thoughts upon onr friends in war mer language than has your humble friend. PHILIP. of their ashes : But one of the Pierces i Frankey) •» Still lives” and his devotion to the interest of the South, is now a part of the history of the country. If the appointment of the deeply infamous abolitionist Reeder, Governor of Kan sas, to defeat, as Mr. Stephens asserts, the establishment of slavery in that Ter ritory, constitutes, with Cardinal Cobb, devotion to the South, then, the South ern Rights presses in Georgia, were not mistaken in 1S51, when they denounced him “ as a traitor to the South.” Judge Bronson was a National Democrat—be longing to that party, among whom the Cardinal infists soundness upon the slavery question, alone can be found. Was his removal, by Pierce, to make room for a Van Buren abolitionist, an evidence of the soundness of the “Pierce’s?” The same might be said of the removal of Jacob R. Davis, a National .Democrat, from the Presiden cy of the Mint at Dahlonegfl, who was appointed through the influence of Car dinal Cobb himself. Verily a man must be “ hard run,” when he holds up the ” Pierce’s of N. Hampshire,” as friends upon whom he can rely. I might pro ceed, and show, that the great doctrine of the non-intervention of Congress upon the subjeA of slavery in the Terri.ories, was established in the compromise meas ures of 1850, by a Whig administration, and supported by Webster, Brooks and other Northern Whigs, and that Pierce gave the doctrine only a lukewarm sup port, after the battle had been fought and the victory won, by Mr. Fillmore— and after it had become the settled pol icy of the Government, and b. en so rr- For (he Southern Watchman. " Thus stored with intellectual riches. Skill’d was our squire In making speeches. Where strength of brains united centers. With strength oflungs surpassing StentorV’ Mr. Editor: The gentleman who is so aptly described by the pdfet ifi these lines, Mr. Cobb, according to appoint ment, addressed a few of the citizens of Forsyth and Cherokee counties, at Cum- roiug on the 2d inst. There was a good deal of anxiety on the part of those pre sent, to hear him, supposing that he would attempt to reconcile and defend the various 'and conflicting positions which he has occupied in politics, with in the last few years. In this however, they were disappointed. He commen ced liis harangue by remarking that, “ he wished to be judged by the princi ples which he now avows" and that he stood on the Platform of the late Mil- ledgcville convention ; he was chairman of the committee that reported it; he re marked that the great question at issue was that of slavery, and the South be ing in the minority, must look .to the North for friends, who wore found only in the National Democratic party ; and that there were only a few men in it who were true to the South,and give as illustrations the Woodburys, Athertons, and Pierces of New Hampshire. Woofl- bury and Atherton, I believe, are both dead, and I will not disturb the repose ar cognized by both the National parlies in Convention—and thus prove the falsehood of the assertion, that no body North, except a few Democrats, is sound upon Southern interests. But as it is conceded that the masses of both of the parties North are unsouad'and not to be trusted—and as they have both rotted down of their inherent corruption, deem it unnecessary so to do. It is somewhat remarkable, that the Cardinal, during the whole of his speech allude to Pierce, except thus passingly, to hold him tip as one of the few Northern Democrats, who are true to the South. If Franklin Pierce is his model of fidelity to the South, he had better keep ft to himself. And it is still more remarkable, that he passed over Gov. Johnson and his brilliant ca reer in such ominous silence. What dot s it mcau ? The great burden of the speech under consideration was unmeasured denunci ation of the American party, and this portion of it seemed more like a good old British Papal speech, made by Car d'.nal Wolsey to please Henry VIII. than any thing I can conceive. He commenc ed by remarking that “ if he mist epre sented them, it was their fault, for they raigjjfcset him rightwhich amounted to s^ng, he could belie and misrepre sent their principles, motives and patii otism, and because they did not sec pro per to correct him, they were respottsi blc for his falsehoods It is a strange proposition in moral philosophy, that man is under no obligation to speak the truth because what he says is uncontra dieted. He-made fiiisreinark.no doubt with reference to his intention to ntisre present them. His denunciation of the Know Nothings as a secret political or ganization, looked well in itim, while lie is a member of a seciet, corrupt and rotten political organization in the city of New York, where life meets the Abo lition hordes of the North in secret cun clave, he is even a big sachem in the Tammany Hall Society. Will the Car dina; tell the people of the Sixth whether or not he meets the Van Buiens and Preston King in Tammany? He not on’y denounced their secresy, but he wilfully misrepresented iheir public ac Hon, their principles, aud their morality He stated in reference to their action, that they beat Shields for U. S. Senator, and elected Trumbull in Illinois, when it isauitorious to every one who knows anything of the present political history of the country/ that ihe same Legisla ture that beat Shields and elected Truitt bull, adopted, by a large majority, reso lutions strongly condemning and de- wil “go Ins security.” I snppose he underwrites for the Pope, when he said, in his Encyclical Letter of Aug.15,1852, that “ I he absurd and erroneous doc trine, or raving in defence of liberty of conscience, is a most pestilential error— a pest of all others most to be dreaded in a State.”!!!!!!! What a great pity that cardinal Cobh did not live long ago, to ” go the Pope’s security”so that the Fifty Millions' of Protestants, who have been butcher ed by this infinitely infernal monster of crime and blood, might have been saved from torture and death; then the ashes of Huss would not have been thrown into the Rhine, the bones of Wickliffe would not, hyena-like, have been taken out of his grave where they had reposed forty years, and burnt. The fires of Smithfield would not have obscured the blue concave of Heaven with their dark sacrifice of human blood. The City of Paris would not have been drenched in Protestant blood, by Massacre of St. Bartholomew, and un offending infants would never have been torn from the throbbing bosom of ma ternal love, and cast into the flames, and Rome would never have exulted in the music created by the commingled shrieks and wails of the millions, who, for conscience sake, have been hunted down and indiscriminately slaughtered by the ruthless blood-hounds of Popery. And with history before his face How ell Cobb offers to “ go the Pope’s se curity ! What a combination! The Pope of Rome and Howell Cobb his endorser! Freemen of the 6th District, do you want the Pope's Endorser to represent you in congress ? The cardinal, if passible, took higher grounds in favor of Foreigners than in favor Catholics. He selected Arnold and Montgomery, as illustrations of the jatriotism of Americans and Foreigners in the Revolution. Arnold an Ameri can, was a traitor; Montgomery a For eigner, was a patriot; therefore accord ing to the cardinals argument, the Ame* were traitors and the Foreigners le an tna *» limAe J .v,nnr, nouncingthe Know Nothings. He mis represented their morality, by stating that the National Council at PhiladeL phia was so drunk thatit could not keep its secrets ! This calumny is s » niali ciously low and palpably false, that it unuecessary even to contradict it. He said that “the Know Nothings arc afraid of the Pope, but that if they did not quit their prevarication and lying, they had better be afraid of the Devil, for that he (Cobb) would go the Pope’s security that he would not hurt them;” after which he struck off into bitter abuse of what he called their civil and religious pro scription. Now, for Cardinal Howell Cobb to stand up before an intelligent community, and assert in the face of the truth of history, that “the Pierces of N Hampshire are true to the South—that Shields was beaten and Trumbull elect ed, by the Know Nothings—that theN tional Council was so drunk that it could not keep its secrets—that the K. N were destroying the morality of the country—that they were in favor of civil and religions proscription—that tfi Pope would do Protestants no harm and then abuse any body for any sort lying, looks a good deal like the Devil rebuking sin! But the reason why the Pope will hurt nobody is, I suppose, be cause his Oarifinal in the United States! For the S04ti.n1 Wrtdunoa Mr CnRisTy; The following little item of intelligence, I find copied into the Georgia Constitutionalist of ihe 30th inst., and whether the same be true or false is not at all important; I do not believe the table to be correct. It is too small, but let that pass for the pre sent, here it is; “To enable all friends of true, civil and religious liberty to appreciate fully the heroism, moral and physical, of Know Nothingisra, we have turned to the last census returns and made out the following table, which shows the native, the foreign, and the Catholic population in each Southern State :— Washington Union. Forncn. Native. R. Catholic 7, 478 1,468 2.740 6,452 31,401 67,303 51,011 4,785 76.570 2,565 11. S. Caroliua, 2. Tennessee, 13. Texas, 14 Virginia, patriots, in the ” times that tried mens souls.” 1 must confess, that I had re ceived a different impression, from his tory upon this subject. I had thought that the Washington?. Greens, Knoxes, Adaipses, Warrens, Henrys, Hancocks, Oti-es. Waynes.Sumpters, Marions, and Habbershamsof Revolutionary memory, were native Americans; and I have never heard treason imputed to them. I have understood that all of those who opposed us in those days were Foreign- ers except a few, who took the position then that the anti-American party here takes now. I thought that it was Foreigners, who burnt down our National Capital and hired the Indians to butcher our wo men and children on the Norihwestern frontier in the war of 1812. It is true a few foreigners were with us. It was a foreign General who retired precipitate ly at the battle of Monmouth and in sulted the father of his country, and whose conduct would have resulted in the loss pf that splendid achieve ment but for the timely interposition of a Native American. The cardinal told us that Shields,an Irishman,was wound ed in Mexico. He said nothing about the gallant Taylor, the heroic Scott, the chivalrous May, who grasped from the cannon’s smoking niouth, the burn ing palm of victory : nor of the noble Clay, Harden, Yell.and McKee, who gave as an offering to the flag of their Native Land, the last pulsating throb of ebbing life. One would have suppost d from! the speech that our gallant army in Mcx'cn, consisted of one wounded Irishman. It seems to me, to be wrong to rob a whole army of Americans of a the fame bought with their blood and valor, and bestow it all on one Irishman But says the cardinal, ” They were defeated in Virginia.” Well, the Pope’s security is welcome to all the joy he can realize, with Wise,Greeley. Seward and the VanBurens, at the defeat of his countrymen by herds of Foreigners and Catholics, but I feel when the British beat us at the ballot box, about like l should, when they beat us in the field The agony of this speech however, is that part in which he exclaims “ Let us all burg the past,—1 can forget the pasK" In vain will he invoke th: waves of Lethe to sepulchre the past! He may and doubtless will straggle to for get the past, but the peop e never will They cannot forget that he refused to sign the Southern Address. They can- not forget his abolition vote for the Wil mot proviso in the Bill organizing Terriu rial Government. They cannot forget that, he traded the democratic pirty in 1850. to that celebrated political firm Stephens and Toombs, for the chief Magistracy cf the State. Tliey cannot forget that when elected pri the Georgia, Platform, erected by the patrio tic people with-the gallant Jenkins at their head, he faced about, and stabbed Jenkins the author of the platform that carried him into power, and supported Johnson who entertained Mneffable 6on tampt for the whole pack,’ they cannot forgit.hat he again turned around,and by a combination with Iverson and Johnson, beat McDonald for United Slates Sena' tor. They might essay to forget the political Iscariot who has thus been untrue to every, principle and treache rous to every party, but,” Remembrance wakes with all her busy train.” As a fit perarotion to his liaraugue. the unmitigated demagogue turned to the Ladies present, and with God-in sulting sacrilege invoked their prayers for his success. Think far a moment of the pious women praying for the suc cess and elevation to office of Howell a " Cobb, the Pope’s Security! had better call on Bishop Hughes and Pius the IX s *for they are certainly ondef many ob ligations to him. There being few Bri tons present, there was bur little enthu siasm. and the crowd retiring, felt that, at last the man was found, after whom the p>>et inquired, when he said “ breathes there a matr with soul so dead Who never to hhmetf hath fofii.

They are under the influence of their priests, neither of whom ever have, as lam informed and believe, taken the oath . of allegiance to our Government. They have a secret place and priest, where, and to whom, they confess, and from whom they get forgiveness of their sins. They have a secret priesthood admitted in al! libera! Governments on earth to be the most dangerous budy of men living, to wit: the Jc-. uits. Now why is it, that these people go 40 the North and North-west ; it is not usual fur them to make their movements towards Northern countries —Southern countries are the couutries to which they most usually go—Italy Spain, France, Southern Europe, gen erally, South America and Mexico these are their favorite countries. The answer is easy, our institutions dc not suit their views, slavery is said to be the great antidote to priestcraf and fanoticism. They are our sworn, aneient unalterable foes—the foes alike of slavery and freedom. Of the 1st, because it forms a barrier to their designs; of the second, because it is at war with their whole systeem and creeds. The same train of reflections suggests alike rea sons whenever applicable to the foreign crs. It's certainly applicable in all cases as to. Abolition. But, again—of all the foreigners at the South, near two thirds of them are Roman Catho lics, to wit. 172,740. But let us con suit this table a little further nnd note the pregnant suggestions which lie in and around it. It will be seen that in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Virginia, border States, on the North these people form a large balance of power parly, to be bought and sold in opeu market by con upt politicians and Bishop Hughes as occasion may require, The extreme Southern States have few of them, except Louisiana, which conn try, embracing Missouri, it will be re membereJ,\vas settled by French Catho lies. But take the extreme Southern States, such as Georgia, for example where the Catholic vote, though small will, owing to the closjly contested par ty struggles of the day, bfe quite suffi cieut to turn the seale towards that par ty which will rtf a he them irtost conces sions and offer the greatest offers, ^nd you have Ibis dangerous and festering element of party corroption in our very midst—at our very doors, though small yet important. Against any class of men in our midst who go together when ne cessary, as a unit, and at command of priests and corrupt politicians we wage eternal warfare: But again, ideas ripen, mature, mul tiply as we look at the figures of this- table a little further. These people are found in every Southern State, and *• more than a corporal's guard at that.” They do not go to church,"and mingle with other religious people, hut raain- tian a sullen distance, from all religious assemblages.' Add to this the enormous number of them who are now flocking to our shores, more perhaps than a quarter of a million per annum, and the increasing disposition of public men to fi itler Uteut, and buy up their with the increasing love well ascertained strength begets, and another most alarming feature is pre sented. But there is another feature still more alarming to the Southern patriot and friend of Religious freedom, and it is his : one of the established dogmas of the Catholic church is, that their priests have the power to grant indulgences, if not to forgive sins—consider of this a moment; let the tide of Anti- Slavery get strong enough at the North to set tlie ball of revolution in motion, and where will it look as to the best, most unscrupulous instrument to effect its dreadful purpose ? Common sense answers to that peo ple who can furnish a priesthood, who hold in their hands and make their de luded followers believe it, the powers of Heaven ani Hell; the office of medi ator between God and man; the power to forgive sin, and to send the soul of the departing believer into eternity, with songs of triumph on his lips, for the having butchered our people for sin of holding Slaves! Is that people who furnish a priesthood foreign ami alien.who neither raarry,nor are given in marriage with us, who form no tender and dear alliances amongst us,who have no posterity to care for, nor future to look to, and few friends amongst us to suffer. To that people who have amongst a few to sow dissensions, to give intelli gence, to spy out our weak points, to surrender to the enemy our strong holds, to introduce a worse than Greek horse into our midst. Were you going over this wide world to find such a people where would you find it save in this self same Catholic Church of these United States. Let our people beware! Let our people be up! Let our people be awake * eternal vigilance is the price of free dom!" There are fewer Abolitionists at the South than Catholics. indeed there may be said to be none except, perhaps, in Virginia, the land of Henry A. Wise and the white basis. Yet is that an ar gument why we should not watch, guard and defead our people against Aboli tionism? Nonsense. Our adversaries as well ourselves, agree that no Aboli tionists can do us barm here, yet how loudly they bellow and howl over Aboli tionism. Just let one of them come amongst us, and our liberal swauggering neighbors are ready to give them a coat of tar and feathers—amen s tg refey-but it does look a little salty, Mr. Union and Constitutionalist, for six millions of people to be raising a- rumpus over some poor devil of a runaway Abolitionist while compared with his mischief, the influence of Roman Catholicism,-'is as the mountain to the molehill!
