Stephens.— L)tar Sir: —A ramor prevails in this section, to a considerable esrent, that you will decline to serve na in the n it Congress, and the chief reason aseigsed is, that it is supposed s Isrge number ofyonr politioal friends have gone into the secret order called Klow ..olhings. Many of yonr Iriends desiie to know if this rumor be true. It is considered sn important period in our rational affaire, and your r tiring at thia time would be felt as a loss by those who have relied on you through so many trying scenes. What are tour opinions and views of this new party, called Know Nothings! Knowing your wil lingness to ~ve your opinions on all matters of public concern, I am induced to make the inquiry, a ;d request permission to publish your reply. To.ra, truly, Thos. W. Thomas. C bawioudvilue, Ga., 9th Msy, 1655. Desk sib:— Your letlor of the 6th inst. was re ceivedao • o days ago, and should have been an ewored earlier, rot for my absence from borne, lne rumor you mention, in relation to my caudi d icy for re-eicction to Congross, is trne. I have tiled, and repeated on various oocssious, tiiat 1 wa- not, and did not expect to be, aoandidate—the asms I now ssy to yon. The reasen of this decla rsf brfon my part, wv the fact, that Ifrge num bers of onr o!d political friends seemed \o be en tering into sew cimbinalions with new objects, purposes and pnrunpies ol which I was not informod, ar d uevor could be, according to the ruloa of their action and the opinions I entertain. Hence my conclusion that they had no further use forme as heir Hcpresentative ; fori presumed they knew enough of me to be sssurod if they had any secret aims or objects to accomnlish that they never could gel my oonseul, even if they desired it, to become a dumb instrument to execute such a purpose. 1 certainly never did, and never shall, go before the people es a candidate for their suffrages with my pr.nciplcs in my pocket. I; has been tbe pride of my life, heretofore, not only to rnako known fully and freely my sontimeutr upon all q' estions of publio policy, bat in vindication of those senti meats thus avowed, to meet any antagonists ar r. against thorn, in open and manly strife— *• faco to face and toe to too." From this rule of action, by which I h ive up to this time been gov erned, I shall never depart. Hut you ask me what are my opinions and views of thie now party called Know Nothings, with a request that you be per mitted to publish them. My opiuions and viows thus solicited, shall be given most cheerfully, and as lully an 1 clearly as my time, under tbe pressure 0 business, whi allow. Youcandowith them as you please—publish thorn or not, as you like. X.icy are tho views of a privute citizen. lam at pre-'OLt, to ali intents and purposes whatsoever, literally one of tKe people. I hold no office nor seek any, and as one of the people 1 shali speak to you and tloiu on this, uud on all occasions, with that frank ness and independence which it becomes a freomau to hear towards bis fellows. And in giving my views of *• Kuow Nothingism,” I ought, perhaps, to promise by eay.ug, and saying most irul y, that I really “ know no hitig" about tho principles, aims or ol jecte ol tho parly 1 am about tp speak of— they uroall kept secrot —thoy are held in tho dark —buing commnuicatod and made known only to the initiated, and not to theso until after being first duly pledged and eworu. This, to me, is a vu y gruat objection to the whole organization. All poinic.il principles, which are sought to bo carried out in Lrgieia.iou by any body or sot of men in a republic, iii my opiuiou, oogbl to bo openly avowed and publicly proclaimed. Truth never shuns tho light or shrinks from investigation—or at loast it ought lifter to do it. Hiding places, or secret coverts, aro natural resorts for error. It is, therefore, a oir cuuistanoo qui.e sufficient to oxcilo suspicion aguiust the truthlo see it pursuing such a eourso. And in republics, where froo discussion and full investigation by a virtuous and intelligent people is ulluwod, tnore never can be any just grounds to fear any danger even from the greatest errors oither in religion or politics. All questions therefore, roiaiiug to the government ol a free people, ought to bu mado Li.own, clearly understood, folly die cn-std, and underMaudingly acted upon. Indeed, I do not boliovo that a Kepublicsn Government c. laet long, wliero this is not the caso. Inmyopin ion, no man is lit to represent a froe poople who has any privato or secrot objects, or aims, that he docs not openly avow, or who is not ready and willing, at all times, when required or oskod, can didly and truthfully, to proclaim to ttie .assembled multitude not only his principles, but his viows uud seutimcnls upon all questions that may ootue jciore him in his representative capacity. It was ou this busts that Koproseutalive Government was loundoii, uud ou this alone oau it be maintained in purity and Bafe'.y. And il any secret parly Bhall over be so far successful ill this country as to bring the Government in all its departments and func lions under the baneful inflaeuooof its controland . o.vcr, poiitioal ruin will inevitably ensue. No liuth in politics can bo more easily and firmly es tablished, oither by reason or troin history, upon principle or authority, than this. Those are my opinions, candidly exprossed. 1 kuow that many good and true men in Geor g.a differ with me in this particular—thousands of them, 1 doobt not, liavo joined this secret order with good intontions. Some of them hsve told rao bo, and I do not question their motives. And thou: amis more wiil, perhaps, do it with the sarno ict.-utious and motives. Hhcnld it beashortlived utfr.ir, no harm will, or may como of it. Hut let it succeed—let it carry all the elections, State and e od.rul—lot tne natural and inevitable laws of its own otgauibin bo once fully developed—and tho country will go by tho board. It will go as France did. Tho first Jacobin Club was organized in Faria ou the 6th Nov., 1789, under the alluring uumo of “tho Friends of the Constitution,” quite ai. pocious as that we now hear of ‘‘Americans shall rule Aa-eriov” Many of the beat men and truest patriot* in Faria joined it—and thousands ot the sarno sort of men joined tho affiliated clubs afterwards—little dreaming of the deadly fangs of that viper they were nurturing in tber besoms.— Many ol theeo very men alterwarda wont to the Guillotine, by ardors pesrod socretly in these very dabs. Ah legislation was settled in the clubs— u-emoers ol the National Assembly and Con vention, all of them, or moat of them, wore members cf the olubs, for they oonld not otherwise be elected. And alter tbe question was rattled in the olubs, tho members next day weul to the nominal Halls of Legislation nothing but trem bling automatons, to register the edicts of the ‘‘Order, ■’ though it were to behead a Monaroh, or to cause tho blood cf the best of their own number to beneath tho slroko cf the axe. Is history einousol Or do onr people vainly imagine that Americans would not do as tbe Freaoh did under l:'.e circ lmstancos! ‘‘ls thy servsnt s dog that ho should do this thing," B*id the haughty, self o fidont Haxsel. Tel, to did all that he had been to d that be would do. “Lot him that thinketh he .taude’.h take heed lest ho fall.” Human nature is tho same compound ot weak frailties *Dd erring p-.sslons everywhere. Os these clnbs in France, an elegant writer lias said s “ From all other soourges which had afffictdß mankiml, in every ago and in every nation, there ta.l been s:mc temporary refuge, some shelter until u,e s.orm might pan.-. During the heathenism of antiquity, and the baibarism of the middle ages, the ttmpio ot agod or the shrineef a sain',afforded a refuge from despotic tury or popular rage. But French Jacobius, whether native or adopted tre-ted with equal scorn, the sentiments of religion and the feelings ot humanity ; and all that man had gathered trem his experience npon earth, and the revelation* he hoped had been made him from the sky, to bless and adorn his mortal existence, ' and elevate bis soul with immortal aspirations, were spnrno I sa imposture by these tell destroyers. They would have depraved man from his humani i ty, as they attempted to decree God out of his luuiverso. Not coat, nt.d with France as a subject for their rulhle.-s experiments—Europe itself be ing too narrow lor their exploits, they send their t-ropagand sis to the new world, with designs 1 about as charitable as those with which Satan en -1 tcr.d Edeu.” Th> is but a taint pioture of some of the scenes enacted by that self same party, which was at first formed by those who styled themaelvea “the I friends of the Constitution.” And where did liuse “secret dunctie" we cow hear of, come from! Not from France, it is true—but from that ! land of isms, where the people would have gone : into anarchy long ago, if it had not been for the conservative inliuenoe of the more stable minded ! men ol the South! And what soecea have ws lately w.massed in the Massachusetts Legislature, where this new political organism has more fully : developed itaeif than anywhere else. What are | its first traits there! Under the name of “The ; American Party,” they have armed themselves against the Constitution of our common country, which they were sworn to support—with every , member of the Legislature, I believe, save eight ' belonging to “ the order,” they have by an over whelming majority vote deposed Judge Loring, ' for nothing bnt the discharge of his official duty, : in issuing a warrant as United Stales Commis ! sioner, to oanse the arrest of tne fugitive Slave | Burns. In reviewing this most unheard of out : rage upon the Constitution, the “National In : tfcbigencety' at Waehirgton, says it “shudders ■ for the Judiciary.” And if they go on as they ; have begun, well may the country “ shpdder,” not ! only for the Judiciary, bat for everything else we hold most sacred. “If these things be done in tho green tree, what may you expect in the dry.” Bat I have been anticipating somewhat. I was on tho preliminary guestton ; that is, the secrecy which lies at the foundation of the party —that atmosphere of darkness in which “it lives, and moves, and has its being,” end without which probably it oonld not exist. Ido not, however, intend to etap with thsi. I will go further, end give, now, my opinions npon those questions, which are said to be withia the range of Ua secret o>j»cU and aims. The principle* as published (or those principles which ere attributed to the Order, though no body ea en organised party them.) have, as I understand them, two leading idem, and two only. These are a proscription by an exclusion from office of all Catholics, as a class, and a pro scription of all persons of foreign birth, as a class; the latter to be accomplished not onlv oy an exclusion from office of all foreigners who are now citizens by naturalization, but to be more effectually carried out by an abrogation of the nat uralization law for the future, or such an amend ment as would be virtually tantamount to it.— These, as we are told, are the great ostensible objects for all this machinery—these oaths—pledg es—seeret signs—equivocations- denials, and what not. And what I have to say of them, is, that if these indeed and in truth be the principles thus attempted to be carried out, then I am opposed to both of them, openly and unqualifiedly. I am opposed to them “in a double aspect,” both as a bane of party organization an I upon their merits as questions of publio policy. As the basis of party organization, they are founded upon the very erroneous principle of looking, not to how the country shall be governed, but who shall hold the offices—not to whether wo shall have wise and wholesome laws, but who shall “ rule us,” though they may bring rain with their rule. Upon this principle Trumbull, who defeatod Gen. Shields for the Senate in Illinois, can be as good a “Know Nothing” as any man in the late “ V aeon Council,” though he may vole, as he doubtless will, to repeal the Fugitive Slavo law, and against the admission of any elave State in the Union ; while Shields, who has ever stood by the Constitution, must be rejected by Southern men because bo was not horn in the country! Upon this principle a Boston Atheist, who denies the inspiration of the Bible, because it sanctions slavery, is to be sustained by Georgia “Know Nothings” in preference to me, barely because I will not “bow the knee to Baal,” this false political god they have sot up. The only baeie of par.y organization is an agreement amongst those who enter into it upon the paramount ques tion of the day. And no party can laßt long with out bringiug disaster and ruin in its train, founded upon any other prinoipte. The old National Whig Party tried the experiment when there was radical differences of opinion on such questions, and went to pieces. The National Democratic Party are now trying a similar experiment, and are experi encing a similar fate. This is what is the matter with it. Its vital functions are deranged—hence that disease which now afflicts it worse than the dry rot. And what woof the Bouth now should do is, not to go into any “Know Nothing” mummery or mischief, as it may be, but to stand firmly by those men at the North who are true to the Con stitution and the Union, without regard either to their birth-place or religion. The question we should consider is not simply who “shall rule America,” but who will vote for each measures as will best promote the interests of America, and with that the interests of mankind. But to paaa to the other view of these prin ciples—that is, the consideration of them as questions of publio pelicy. W ith me, they both stand in no better light in this aspect than they do in the other. The Jiret assumes tem poral jurisdiction in “ forum conscientice" — to which I am quite ab much opposed as I am to the spiritual powers controlling the temporal. One is as bad as the other—both are bad. lam utterly opposed to mingling religion with politics in any way whatever; and espec'ally am 1 opposed 1 1 making it a test in qualifications for civil office. Keligion is a matter between a man and his Crea tor, with which governments should have nothing to do. In this country the Constitution guarantees to every citizen the right to entertain whatever creed he pleases, or no creed at all if he is so in clined ; and no other man has a right to pry into his conscience to enquire what he believes, or what ho does not believe. As a citizen and as a mem ber of society, he is to be judged by his acts and not by his treed. A Catholic, therefore, in our country, and in all countries ought, as all other citizens, to be permitted to stand or fall in public favor end estimation upon his own individual merits. “Every tub should stand upon its own bottom.” But I think of all the Christian denominations in the United States, the Catholics are the last that Southern people should join in attempting to put under the ban of oivil proscription. For as a church they have never wared against ns or onr peculiar institutions. No man oan say as much of New England Baptists, Presbyterians or Methodists ; the long roll of abolition petitions with which Con gress has been so much excitod and agitated for yearn post come not from the Catholics ; their pul pits at the North are not desecrated evory Sabbath with anathemas against slavery. And of the three thousand New England clergymen who sent the anti-Nebraska memorial to the Senato last year not one was a Catholic as I have been informed and believe. Why then should we Southern men join tho Puritans of the North to proscribe from office the Catholics on acoount of their religion ? Lot them and their religion be, as bad as they can be, or as their accusers say they are, they can not be worse than theso same Puritanical accusers, who started this persecution against them say that we are. They say wo are going to perdition for the enormous sin of holding slaves. Tho Pope with all his followers can not I suppose even in their judgment be going to a worse place for holding what they consider the monstrous ab surdity of the “ immaculate conception.” And for my own part I would about as soon risk my chance for Heaven with him, and his crowd too, as with these self righteous hypocrites who deal oat fire and brimstone so liberally upon our heads. At any rate I have no hesitancy in declaring that I ahould much sooner risk my civil rights with the American Catholios, whom they are attempting to drive from office than with them. But sir, lam opposed to this proscription upon principle. If it is ones begun there is no telling where it will end. When faotion once tastes the blood of a victim it seldom oeases its ravages amongst the fold so long as a single remaining one, be tho number at first evor so groat, is left surviving. It was to guard against any such consequences as would certainly ensue in this oountry if this effort at proscription of this sect of religionists should be successful, that that wise provision to which I have alluded was put in the fundamental law of the Union. And to maintain it intact in letter and spirit with steadfastness at this time I hold to be a moat aohmn public duty. And now, as to the other idea—the proscription of foreigners—and more particularly that view of it which looks to the denial of citizenship to all those who may hereafter seek a home in this country and choose to cast their lots and destinies with us. This ia a favorite idea with many who hi ve not thought of ita effects, or reflected much upon its consequences. The abrogation of the na turalization laws would not stop immigration, nor would the extension of tho term of probation, to tne period of twenty-one years, do it. This cur rant of migration from East to West, this Exo dus of the excess of population from the Old to the New World, whioh commenced with the set tlement of this oontinent by Europeans, would still go on. And what wonld be the effect, even under the most modified form of the proposed measure—that is of an extension of the period from five to twenty one years, before citizenship should be granted t At the end of the first twen ty-one years from the commencement of the op eration of the law, we should have sevoral mil lions of people in our midst—men of onr own race—occupying the unenviable position of being s “ degraded caste ” in society, a species of serfs without the just franchise of a fresman or the needful protection due to a slave. This would be at war with all my ideas of American Bepnblican ism as I have been taught them and gloried in them from youth np. If there be danger now to onr institutions, (as eome seem to imagine, bnt which I am far from feeling or believing,) from foreign ers as a class, would not the danger be greatly en hanced by the proposed remedy 1 Now, it is trne they are made to bear tbeir share of the burthens of Government, bnt are also permitted, after a residence of five years, and taking an oath to sup port the Constitution, to enjoy their just partici pation in the privileges, honors and immnniliee which itsecuree. Would they be less likely to be sttaohed to the Government and its principles un der the operation of the present system than they wonld be under the proposed one which wonld treat them as not much better than outcasts and outlaws > All writers of note, from the earli est to the latest, who have treated upon the ele ments and oomponent parts, or members of oom mnnitiee and States, have pointed this out as s source of real danger—that is having a large num ber of the same raoe not only aliens by birth, bnt aliens in heart and feeling in the bosom of society. Such was, to a great extent, the condition of the Heiots in Greece—men of the same race placed in an inferior position, end forming within themselves e degraded class. I wish to see no snch state of things in this country. With ns at the South, it is true we have a “degraded caste,” but it is of a rats fitted by nature for tbeir subordinate position. The negro, with na, fills that plaoe in society and under our system of civilization for which he was designed by nature. No training can fit him for either social or political equality with his superi ors ; et least history furnishes os with no instance of the kind; nor does the negro with ns feel any degradation in his position, because it is his natu ral plaoe. But such would not be the case with men of the same race and coming from the same State with ourselves. And what appears not a lit tle strange end singular to me in considering this late movement, is, that if it did not originate with, yet it is now eo generally and zealously favored by so many of those men at the North who have ex pended so much of their misguided philanthropy in behalf of our slaves. They have been endeav oring for years to elevate the African to an equality socially and politically with the white man. And now, they are moving heaven end earth to degrade the whiM man to a condition lower than that held by the negro in the South. The Massachusetts “Know Hoiking” Legislature passed a bill lately to amend their Constitution, so as to exclude from the poll! la that State, hereafter, all naturalised AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1855. citizen*, from whataver nation they may come; And yet they will allow a runaway ruftotlon from tbe South the same right to vote that they give to their own native born sons l They thus exhibit the strange paradox of warring against their own race—th6ir own blood —even their own u kith and kin,” it may be, while they are vainly and fanatically endeavoring to r&verte the order of na ture, by making the black man equal to the white. Shall we second them in any movement ? Shall w* even countenance them so far as to bear the same name—to say nothing of the same pledgee, passwords, signs and symbols? Bhall we affiliate and unite ourselves under the same banner, with men whose asts show them to be governed by such principles, and to be bent upon such a purpose ? This is a question for Southern men to consider. Others may do it if they choose; but, I tell you, I never shall; that you may set down as a “fixed fact”—one of the fixedeat of the fixed. lam not at all astonished at the rapid spread of this new sentiment at the North, or rather new way of giv ing embodiment and life to an old sentiment, long cherished by a large class of the Northern people, notwithstanding the paradox. It is true, “Know Nothingism” did not originate as I understand its origin, with the class I allude to. It com menced with the laborers *nd men depend ant upon capital fer work employment.— It sprang from tho antagonist of their interests to foreigners seeking like employments, who were under-bidding them in the amount of wages. But many capitalists of that eectiai, the men who hold the land and property in theijown hands, wishing to dispense with laborers aid employees, whose votos at the polls are equal to<their own, seizod up on this new way of effecting their old, lorg-cherish ed desire. And the moie c*gerly as they saw .hat many of tho very they have ever dreaded as the insuperable obstacle between them and their purpose, had become the willing, though unconscious instruments of carrying that purpose out, which, from the beginning, was a desire to have a votinglets population to do their work, and perform all the labor, both in city, town and coun try, which capital may require. And as certainly as such a law shall be passed, so far from its checking imigration, there will bo whole cargoes of people from other countries brought over, aud lit erally bought up in foreign ports—to be brought over in American ships to supply the market for labor throughout all the free States of the Union. Tne African Slave Trade, if re-oponed, would not exhibit a worse spectacle in trafficing iu human flesh, than those most deluded men of the North who started this thing, and who aro now aiding to accomplish the end, may find they have but kindled a flame to oonsume themselves. Tbe the whole sub stratum of Northern society will soon be filling up with a class who can work, and who, though white, cannot vote. Thia is what the would-be Lords of that section have been wanting for a long time. It is a scheme with many of them to get white staves instead of black ones. No Ame rican laborer, or man seeking employment there, who has a vote, need to expect to bo retained long when tis place can be more cheaply filled by a foreigner, who has none. Thia will be the practi cal working of the proposed reformation. This is the philosophy of the thing. It i* a blow at tbe ballot box. It is an insidious attack upon general suffrage. In a line with this policy, the “Know Nothing” Governor of Connecticut has already re commended the passage of a law uenying the right of voting to all who cannot read and write. And hence, the great efforts which are now being made throughout tho North, to influence the eleotionß, not only these, but in spending their money in the publication of book* and tracts, written by “no body knows who,” and scattered broad-cast throughout the Southern States, to influence elec tions here by appealing to the worst passions and •trougest prejudices of our nature, not omitting those oven which bad and wicked men can evoke under the sacred but prostituted name of religion. Unfortunately for tho country, many evils which all good men regret and deplore exist at this time, which have a diroot tendency, wonderfully to aid and move forward this ill omened crusade. These relate to the appointment of bo many foreigners— wholly unfit, not only to minor offices at home, bat to represent oar country, as Ministers abroad. And to the great frauds and gross abuses which at present attend the administration of our natu ralization laws—these are evils felt by the whole country, and they ought to be corrected. Not by a proscription of all Foreigners, without regard to individual merits. But in the first place, by so amending the naturalization laws, as effectually to check and prevent these frauds and abuses. And in the second place by holding to strict accountability at the polls in our elections, all thoso public functionaries, who, either with par tizan views or from whatever motive, thus im properly confer office, whether high or low, upon undeserving Foreigners, to the oxolusion of native born citizens, better qua ! ified to fill them. Another evil now felt, and which ought to be remedied, is the flooding, it is said, of some of tho cities with paupers and criminals from other countries. Those ought all to bo unconditionally exclu ded and prohibited from coming amongst us— there is no reason why we should be the feeders of other nations 1 paupers, or oither the keepers or executioners of their felons —these evils can and ought to bo remedied without resorting to an in discriminate onslaught upon all who by industry, enterprise and merit may choose to better their condition in abandoning the respective dynasties of the old world in wf ich they may have chanced to have been born, and by uniting their energies with our* may feel a pride in advancing the pros perity, development and progess of a common oountry not much less dear lo them than to us. Against those who thus worthily come, who quit the misruled Empires of their “father land,” whose hoarta have been fired with tho love of our ideas, and our institutions even in distant climes, I would not close the door of admission. But to all such as our fathers did at first, so I would con tinue most IreeJy and generously to extend a wel come hand. Wo have from such a class nothing to fear. When in battle or in the walks of civil life did any suoh ever prove traitor or recreant to the flag or cauee of bis country ? On what occa sion havo any such ovor proven untrue or disloyal to the Constitution ! I will not tay that no foreigner has ever beau untrue to the Constitution ; bat as a clan, they certainly have not proven them3olves so to be. Indeed, 1 know of but one class of people in the United States at this time thatl look upon as dangerocs to the country. That class are neither foreigners or Catholics—they are those native born traitors at the North who are disloyal to the Con stitution of that oonntry which gave them birth, and under whose beneficent institutions tli9y have been reared and nurtured. Many of them are “Know Nothings.” This class of men at the North, of wh ioh the Massachusetts, New Hamp shire and Connecticut “Know Nothing” Legisla tures are bat samples, I consider as onr worat ene mies. And to pat them down, I will join, as po litical allies now and forever, all trno patriots at the North and South, whether native or adopted, Jews or Gentiles. What our Georgia friends, whether Whigs or Democrat*, who have gone into this “New Order,” are really after, or what they intend to do, I cannot imagine. Those ofthom whom i know have assured me that their object is ieform,both in our State and Federal Administrations—to pat better and tru'r men in the places of those who now wield author ity—that they have no symp ithies as party men or otherwise with that class t speak of at the North —that they are for sustaming the Union platform of our State of 1850, and that the mask of secie cy will soon be removed when all will be made public. If these be their objects, and also to check the frands and correct the abuses in the ex isting naturalization laws, which i have mentioned, without the indiscriminate proscription of any class of citizens on account of their birth place or religion, then they will have my co operation, as I have told them, in every proper and legitimate way, to effect such a reformation. Not as a se cretly initiated co-worker in the dark for any pur pose, but as an open and bold advooate of troth in the light of day. But will they do as they say I Will they throw off the mask! That is the ques tion. Is it possible that they will continue in po litical party fellowship with their “ worthy breth ren" of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hamp shire, and the entire North 1 Every one of whom elected to the next Congress is our deadly foe I Do they intend to continue their alliance with these open enemies to our institutions and the Constitution of the country under the totally mis named association of the “American Fatty”— the very principle upon which it is baaed being anti-American throughout! True Americanism, as I have learned it, is like true Christianity—disciples in neither are confined to any nation, clime, or soil whatsoever. Ameri canism is not the product of the soil; it springs not from the land or the ground ; it is not of the earth, or earthy ; it emanates from the head and the heart; it looks upward, and onward and out ward ; its life and soul are those grand ideas of government which characterize our institutions and distinguish ns from all other people; and there is no two features in our system which so signally distinguish us.from all other nations, as fru toleration of religion and the doctrine of expa triation—Xha right of a man to throw off his alle giance to any and every other State, Prinoe, or Potentate whatsoever, and by nataraltaation to be incorporated as oitixens into oar body politic. Both these principles are specially provided for and firmly established ia our Constitution. But these American ideas which were proclaimed in 17*9 by our “sirea of 78,” are by their “aona” at this day derided and soeffed at. We are now told that “natural:xitien” is a “humbug,” and that it ia an “impossibility.” Bo did not oar lathers think. This'“humbug” and “impossibility” they planted in the Constitution; and a vindication of the same principle was one of the causes of our second war of independence. England held that “naturalization” was an impossible thing. She claimed-the allegiaaoe of subjects born within her realm, notwithstanding they had beoome jitixens of this Republic by our Constitution and laws. She not only claimed their allegiance, but she t anned the right to search oar ships upon the high seas, and take from them all such who might be found in them. It was in pursuit of this doctrine of hers—of the right of search lor oar “ naturalised" citizens—that the Chesapeake was fired into, which was the immediate causo of tho war of 1812. Lot no man then, bare’y because he was born in Ame rica, presume to be imbued wiih real and true “ Americanism” who either ignores the direct and positive obligaUcus of the Constitution, or ignores this, one of i!s most striking characteristics. As well might any unbelieving siuuer claim to bo one of the faithful—one of the elect eveu—barely be cause he was born some where within the limits of Christendom. And jut-t as well nrgh' tho Jaco bins, who “decreed God out cf his Universe,” have dabbed their club a “ Christian Association,” because they wore born on Christian soil. Ihe genuine disciples of “ true Americanism,” like tho genuine followers of the Cross, aro those whoso hearts are warmed and fired—purified, elevated and ennobled—by thoso principles, doctrines and precepts which characterize their respective sys tems. It is for this reason that a Kumscbatkan, a Briton, a Jew, or a Hindoo, can be us good a Chris tian as any one born on “Calvary’s brow,” or where the “Sermon on the Yount” was preached 1 And for the same reason an Irish mar, a French man, a German, or Russian, can bo as thoroughly “ American” as it he had been born within the wall» of old Independence Hall its If. Which wus the “true American,” Arnold or Hamilton ? The one was a native the other was an adopted eon. Bit to return. What do our Georgia friends iutoed to dot Is it not time that thoy had shown their hand! Do they intend to abandon the Georgia Platform, and go over “horse, Lot and dragoons” into a political alliance with Trumbull, Durkee, Wilson & Co.! Is this the eourso marked out lor themselves by any of the gallant old Whigs of tho 7th aud Bth Congressional District ? I trust nut, 1 hepe not. But if they do not intend thus to commit themselves, is it not time to pause and re flect? Is it not time to take a reckoning aud see whither thoy aro drifting? When “tho blind lead the blind” where is the hope of safety ? 1 havo boeu cited to tho resolution which, it i > said, the late Kuow Nothing Convention passed in Macon. This, it soems, is tho only thing that the 600 delegates could bring forth after a two day s’ “labor”—aud of it wo may well say, “ Montes parturient et ridiculus tnus nascitur ” — “ The mountains have boeu in labor and a ridioulous mouse is born.” It simply affirms, most meek ly and submissively, what no man South ot Mason and Dixon’s lino for the Eat thirty fi/e years would have vontured to deny, with out justly subjecting himself to tho charge of incivism —that is, that “ Congress has no con stitutional power to intervene by excluding a now State applying for admission into tho Union, upon the ground that tho constitution of suoh State recognizes slavery.” This is tho whole life and soul of it, unless wo except the secret blade of Joab which it bears towards Kansas aud Nebraska, ooucealed under a garb. It is well known to all who are informed, tuat iu tho organic law of thoso territories tho right of voting, while they remain territories, was given to all who hud filed a declu ration of intention to become citizens. This was iu strict compliance with the usual practice of the Government in organizing Territories ; and under this provision that class oi persons are now outitled to vote. Kansas, in two elections under this law, has shown that an overwhelming majority ol hor people are in favor of slavery , notwithstanding all the Executive influence of tho Freesoil Governor (Reeder) whom Mr. Pierce Bout out there to pr event it; but whom the people havo lately driven, us thoy ought to have done, from tho country. Now then, when Kansas appliosfor admission as a Biave State, asshe doubtless will, a Southern “Kuow Nothing,” under this Resolution, can unite with his “ worthy brethren” at the North, in voting against it, upon the ground that som? havo votsd for a Constitu tion recognizing Slavery, who had net been “naturaliz3d,” but had only declared their in tention. Fo: this Resolution iu its very heart and core, declares that tho right to establish Slave institutions “in tho organization of State Gov ernments, belongs to the native aud naturalized citizens,” excluding those who havo only declared their intention. A more insidious attack, was never made upon the principles of the Kansu * and Nebraska Bill. And is this to be thn plank ou which Northern and Southern “ Know Nothings” are to stand in the rejection of Kansas But to the other aud main objection to tho reso lution, why did it stop with v simplo denial ol the power of Congress to reject a State on account of sla very! Particularly w non it had opened the door for the rejection or Kuusae on otner grounds by way of pretext t Why did it not plant itself upon the principles of the Georgia Resolutions of JB*so, and say what ought to bo do no in c:te of the r j o tion of a State by Congress bocauso of slavery i 8o far fiom this it does not even i.ffirm that such rejection by their “worthy brethren” of the North would be sufficient cause fur severing their party affiliation with them for it ? Again I would say not only to tho old Wiiigs ot tho 7th an 13th Con gressional Districts, but to ali true Georgians, whether Whigs or Democrats, Union men or Fire- Eaters whither are you drifting? Will you not pause and reflect ? Are wo about to witne- o in this insane cry against Foreigners aud Catholics a ful filment ot 'he ancient Latin Proverb, “ Quern Dtus vult perdire print dementat"l “ Whom the Gods intend to destroy they fir*t make mud?” Tho times are indeod portentous of evil. The political horizsn is shrouded in darkness. No man knows whom he meets, whether ho be friend or foe, except those who have the dim glare ot the oovered light which their iecretsigns imparl. And how long this will boa protection even to them, is by no moans certain. They havo already made truth and veracity almost a by word and a reproach. When truth loses cast© with any people—is no longer considorod aa a virtue—and its daily and hourly violations aro looked upon with no con cern but a jejr or a laugh, it requires but li'tlo forecast to seo what will vory soon be tho charac ter of that people.

Nieh, and Z. P. Davis, and kept by Messrs. J. J. Pittman and Z. P. Davis. fortunately, there was scarcely a breath of air stirring, and no other buildings were in jnred. The Democrat office, and the house on the corner, owned by Thomas W. White, and occupied by A. Noe!, being immediately on tho opposite side of the street, were the most exposed, and tho least wind in that direction would have caused their destruction. Tho loss is a severe blow to tho owners and to Huntsville, and must result in great inconvenience to tho travelling public, from tho fact, that the hotel accommodation., wore 100 limi ted for the town even before this event. It is be lieved to have been the work of an incendiary, as the flames first issued from a loft or vacant room next to the roof in the large tfcreo story building, known as the private part.. f the Tavern, on the west end, used principally for tho accommodation of ladies and families.

They then ascended a mountain to the height ot 8,500 feet, when they came upon e plain of surpassing richness and beauty; fertile fields, the greatest variety of frnit trees in full tearing, and signs of cultivation and refinement. Their appearance astonished the inhabitants, who, how ever, did not treat them unfriendly. The men all range from S to 6% feet in height, well propor tioned, very athletic and straight as an arrow. The women were among the most perfect models of beauty ever formed, averaging 5 feet high, very plump, with small feet and hands, and with a jet black eye.

The following, from the Moniteur of April 16th, is tho promised second article on the Expedition to the East: “ 11. Political Part. —After having told the country the whole truth on tho plan of the cam paign and ou the txpoditiou to the East, it remains tor us to state how policy understood its task, its duty, the houor of France, and the interests ol Europe. What were the general causes of the war ? For what interests were France and England to carry their military and naval forces so tar from their own shores? On what point do tho differ ont Stales of Europe touch upon this question of European order? What is the object which ought to bo kept in view for the interests of all ? How are tho four guarantees to be understood end accepted on either side as a basis for negotia tion ? Is it just, is it useful, to limit the power of Russia in tho Black Sea? What will be the result or the Vienna Conferences, for peace or for war ? This is what we wish to examine in the second part of this task, that, on the eve of the decisive solution now under achievement, public opinion, completely enlightened, may accept, with equal confidence, peace, if it is possible—war, if it is necessary. “Tho commencement of this great struggle is known; it originated in a small claim brought rgainst Turkey on tho gronud of concessions she had granted iu favor of the Latins in the Holy Land. Russia only wanted a pretext. For her the tomb of Christ Wus only the stepping stone to power. But that sacred stone could not become a stumbling-block for the peace of the world, lhe Government of tho Emperor of tho French, by regulating that question in the most equitable manner, forced the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to unmask its real thoughts. Every one at once dis covered that Russia had only originated the dis cussion to open the Bosphorus to her sovereignty, i'ho forced interpretation which she drew from the treaty ot Kainardji was, in fact, nothing else than the moral fall ot the Sultan. The question then ceased to boa religious one—it became spo liiical onot The whole of Europe found itself engaged it it, It became necessary to make it understand its interests, defend its rights, and •fcl-ow its strongth. “ Ali tho < Hurts of tho French Government were direc.ed to that result. England, deceived at first by tho protended religious character of the ques tion, vory eoon understood, with her clear and s traight forward common sense, its real bearing, bho felt like us, tho threat and arrogance of that domination, and her hand was stretched forth to m t ours, already extended to seal the alliance be tween the two great countries, who represent the civilizut on of the West. “For France, as for England, the Eastorn question represented an interest superior to that of their own ambition. Russia wished to dominate at Con stantinople. It was necessary to prevent if Rus sia, mistress of tho Black Sea, having only to ex tend her hand to touch the Bosphorus, placed the Mediterranean under tne menace of the fleets of Sevastopol. In advancing towards the Dardanel les she brought her frontiers to the shores of the Mediterranean. Whenever her vesaols could reach, her preponderance was assured. From hor inac cessible ports she touched ali empires, aud all kingdoms. Not only had France and England a rival, not only did Gormany bond beneath tho voight of tlio Colossus that leaut upon hor, but Greeco, Italy, Spain, Egypt, and all tho secondary States, found themselves struck by tho same blow in their security aud independence. Strange cir cumstance ! Europe had shut its eyes to thia in vasion ot the north. In 1828 France aud England, burning tho Turkish fleet at Navanno, destroyed the force which protected the west. At that peri od we sought an ally at St. Petersburg, iustead ot beholding there an adversity of our influence and of our civilization. In 1840 England, Prussia, aud Austria, leaving aside the Cabinet of the Tuileries, again United themselves without suspicion. Se vastopol, closed to every investigation, hiding in its inaccessible port tho activity of its dockyard* and arsenals, did not appear to any one as a me nace. It was forgotten that aa far back as 1806 a fleet left that point with 12,000 men on board, landed them in Italy, and brought tho Russians cud French in contact in tho Mo s iterranean. Yet that wns a warning worthy of record, for it proved that Russia from tho crooks of the Euxino, by the domination of tho Straits, could reach to the en trai.co of the Adriatic. “Some years later Russia, having to struggle aguiust Franco united to Austria, defined her in vading policy much moro precisely by tho object she pursued and by tho means which she employ ed. The plan of that policy is a rovolaticn iu it self. Wc borrow it from an authentic document recently published in tho memoirs of a statesman, Admiral Tichakoff, to whom the Emperor Alexan der gave the following instructions under date of oi April 19 1812: ‘“The astute conduct of Austria, which has just allied itself with Franco, obliges Russia to employ every means in its power to disooncert tho hostile intentions of those two Powers. Tho most impor tant is to turn to our account tho military gouius of tho Slavonic people, as Sorvia, Bosnia, Dalma tia, Montenegro, Croatia, aud Illyria, who, once armed and under military organization, would co operate powerfully with our operations. The Hun garians, dissatisfied with the proceedings of their actual Government, offer to us also an excellent means for alarming Austria, for making a diver sion to her hostile idea, and, consequently for weakening hor resources. All theso tribes united to our regular troops would form a vory imposing militia, not only to provide against tho hostile in tentions of Austria, but to effect a marked diver sion upon tho right wiug of tho French posses sions, uud to give us a sure means of striking a blow in the direction of Nisßaor Sophia. The ob ject of the diversion against Franco must be to occupy Bosnia, Daimutia, Croatia, and to direct their militia upon the moat important points of the Adriatic, more especially on Trieste, Fiurno, Boc ca di-Cattare, so as to ebtablish there, according to opportunhy, relations with tho English fleet, and to make every effort to fan into a flame tho discontort in the Tyrol and Switzerland, and to act in common with those brave populations, dis satisfied with their actual Government. You must employ ovoiy possible moans to exalt tho Slave populations, to bring them to servo our object.— For example, you can promise them independence, the erection of a Slave king lom, pecuniary re wards for the most influential men among thorn, decorations and suitublo titles tor tho chiefs and troops. Finally, you may add to thoso means any other you may deem expedient to gain them ovor most comfortable to actual circumstances.” “Such were the views of Russia as far back as 1812, not only against Franco, but against Austria. This incondiary plan could not have left the ar chives of St. Petersburg at a more fitting moment to snow to Europe, and especially to the Cabinet of Vienna, the immense interest that evory one must have to put finally a barrier to a policy which completely justified by its means andofjaots tho foresight of the Emperor Napoleon I. If the heirs of Peter tho Great should ever dominate at Con stantinople by the Black Sea, Austria, surrounded, embraced on all sides by the powerful arm of Rns ia, would be at the merpv of an enterprise suoh as the daring mind of the Emperor Alexander had conceived. Hungary, open to its action by the Danube, would be given up to all the excite ments ol its remembrances: Tho Adriatic, exposed to the brusque attack of a Slave coalition, would cease to be the mart and bulwark of the Austrian empire, and tho key of the Gulf of Trieste would paiis by a surprise from Vienna to St, Petersburg. “There is therefore nothing moro legitimate, more Dccensary, and more just before God and universal conscience than this ro istancoof which tho two nuval Governments of tho West gave tho signal in the month of April, 1854. England and France drew the sword in the cause of every other State. Their armies and fleets were the ax ant gardes of Europe. Having the honor of arriving first on the theatre of war they had the right to oxpect thoy would bo followed there, and they confidently awaited Austria and Prussia at this it*tides ousof tho equilibrium and of the inde pendence of European order.” “Austria and Pruss’a did not hesitate to place themselvee in the solidarity of the into rats for tho defence of which France and England wore about to fight. In the protocols signed at Vienna they recognized tho rights of Turkey; they rejected the advui cos of the Czar, who, not daring to ask thoir support, confined himself to propose to them resig nation and neutrality ; they united themselves by a trea f y for the guarantee of Gorman interests they placed their armies on a war footing, aud they in vited the German Confederation to follow their example ; but, while preparing themselves for ac tion, the two great German Powers h6Bitated to act. It was not courage whioh they wanted -for Government that have the responsibility of the honor aud wclfaro of their country at heart are never deficient in that; what they wanted was confidence. Co interested in the causes of the war, they arc uncertain of its object. It was that object which it was necessary to define, so as to leave them no cause for hesitation or distrust. “The E npei or. in opening the legislative session of 1851, said in his speech : “ ‘Europe is aware, beyond a doubt, that if France draws the sword it is because sho is com pelled to do so. It knows that France has no idea of uggrandzement. She only wishes to resist dan gerous outbursts; and I am proud openly to declare that the time of conquests is arroyocaoly past, for it is not by extending the limits of its territory that a nation can henceforth become honored and powerful, it is by placing itself at the bead of gen erouß ideas, by making everywhere to prevail the empire cf right and j ustice.” “That solemn declaration left no doubt upon the character of tho war; it allowed no distrust of the war • it allowed no distrust of the intentions of the • lovernment of Franco and England. Thuß, when G rmany had the question put to ns bow far wo intended to go, It was easy for M. Drouyn de Lhuys, in concert with Lord Clarendon, to reply in the name of the Emperor in his memorable note to M. de Bonrquency, in formulating the geuoral conditions upon whioh the allied Powers would consent to treat for the restoration of peace. Those condi'ions comprise what is conventionally under stood by the ‘Four guarantees.’ “Germany, however, would not come to a de cision, and, while notes and connternotes were exchanged between Vienna Berlin, and St. Peters burg, war continued and developed itself in tfce Crimea; Fr nee and England fought before Se vastopol for the common cause, and they lavished their blood for tbe independence and equilibrium of Europo. Finally Austria asked us if we would still co sent to treat upon the bases of tbe four guarantees. The hesitation was long in the coun cils of the two allied Powers. It appeared to them tha’, after such glorious efforts aDd such sad sacri fices, after having gained two victories, at Alma and Inkermann, when tceir armies were besieging Sevastopol, and when their fleets occupied tbe Black Sea, they bad the right to exact more. But the interest ot an alliance with Austria for peace as for war overruled the inspiration of those le gitime e exactios. The treaty of the 2d of De cember was the reeult of that policy. “It was, therefore, from consideration to Aus tria, from the desire of an offensive and defensive alliance with her, and to give to Germany an une quivocal proof of moderation, that we accepted the c verture of negotiations on the basis of the four guarantees, r .serving to ourselves always the right of introducing therein any other condition that might result from the chances of war. “On the pert of tbe allied Governments, this act of mo aeration cost nothing to their dignity, nor to the interests which they defend; for, had it been so, they never would have given their consent. In fact, there was but one of two things possible; those negotiations would succeed or would fail. If Bucct-. ful, Europe, by the four gua antees, ob tained conditions which, fonr months previously, Count Ncsselrcde declared he could only accept a ter :en years of di-astrona warfare; it a failure Austria, whose alliance became an offensive one’ entered into armed action, and the weight of her sword would soon obtain by war what her influ ence eouid not e ffect in the Conferences. “Thus, in either ease, it was well to negotiate at Vienna, while continuing all the time to fight in the Crimea. 6 “As regards tbe C'nditions of peace, nothing can be more ja-t, more moderate, more conforma ble to the rights aud interacts of Furope. It will be easy for us to establish this by characterizing clearly the thought which dictated them, and the object which they wore to scheive. Tho first of the four conditions, in patting an end to the pro tcctorat of Bussia in the principalities of Molds via, Wallaehia and Servia, and in placing their privileges under the collective guarantee of the G rest Power-, takes away from the Gabinet of St Petersburg the rights which it pretended to hold from ancient treaties, and. whioh were only the meunß for subjugating thosg populations, for dom inating Turkey, lor app/oachmg Austria on her VOL, LXIX.—NEW SERIES VOL.

First of all, how must it be understood ? Evidcn'ly anytf ing equivocal on so gravo a point cannot suit any one. The Allied Governments, who have a conscious ness of tho jastice of their preteusions, have not feared defining them. Russia has turned tho Black Sea into a Russian lake; she has gradually found ed maritime establishments thore of tho first c ase; she has accumulated there, with as much persever ance as mystery, considerable naval forces, and it may be said that by that exclusive domination of tho Black Sea sho has placed Goustauiuople iu a permanent state ol siego. “This state of things is not possible, because it is incompatible not only with the integrity of tho Ottoman empire but with the socurity of tho whole of Europe. “ France and England, iu demanding Russia to limit hor powor in tho Black Seu, oi to neutralize that nea, aro therefore completely iu their right. If that result was not obtained by pcuce or by war, such a peace would be ephetnoral aud such a wsr useless ; and, let it be well observed, this domand for the limitation of Russia powor, or for the neu tralization of the Black Sea, does not respond only to Anglo French interests, it responds also to tho interests of Austria, for which tho Danube, a com mercial and military river, is a magnificent high way, open to her activity towards the Euzino and Asia. An argument is brought against this pie teusion which we do not think serious, it is srid to the Allied Rowers, ‘You ask a concession from Russia,-which at meet might no tho price of the surrender ol Sevastopol, and that place is still hold by the Russian army.’ Our r< ply is this: —‘The law of nations grants that a portion of what is ob tainod by war may bo kept by peaco. Wo liavo not yet taken Sevastopol, that is true; but what is Sevastopol at the present moment to Rassia ? It is no longer a naval port, as her floot, sunk ct tho mouth of the harbor, or shut up behind that in surpassablo barrier, is withdrawn from tho strug gle. The Black Sea is tho battlefield which \to have wen—or, if they like it, which has been abandoned to us by the enemy. Tho Russian flag could not show itself there. Our ships and tho o of England and Turkey navigate it in every senso. Its domination has changed hands. It has gone from Sevastopol to Constantino. “Who compels us to give up this pledge! Is not Buch a situation the .ory best we could have? Aud not only do we occupy the Black Sea, but wo besiege Sevastopol, we aro fortified at Kameisch and at Balaklava, Omar Pasha is ontroneho ! at Eupatoria, Odessa is menaced by our fleets. What can Russia do? Could sho suffer for any length of time without detriment to hor moral strength and without ruin to her commerce tho blockade whioh wi«l shut her up in ovorv part of tho B t ok Sea aud of the Baltic? Could sho live in that paralysis whi •'>. in hor strikes the vital principle of nations—that is to Bay, movement, action, tho right of exporting and exchanging her prodneo, aud which would condemn her to isolation, sterility, impotency, in tho immensity of her em pire ? To ask Russiu to limit hor naval forces, or to neutralize tho Black Sea—that is to say, to ex clude therefrom all vessels ot war of any nation whatsoever, is therefore to exact from her much loss than whatwc have acquired by war, pud which wo could maintain without an effort. In tact, what does it require to prevent Russia from ovor entering tho Black Sea again ! Four men-of-war of each of the maritime Powers, Fiance, England, aud Turkey. Such a oruisiug squadron would suffice to occupy the Black Soa and to transplant its domination from the shores of tho Crimoa to tho entrance of the Bosphorus. “What Russia has lost, what she cannot recovor by war, no matter how long, is hor preponderance ovor tho East. What she may legitimate y ask is a share of influence in tho affairs ol tho world. Sho would find, if needs bo, a coalition of all States to restrain hor ambition; but no one wishes to humiliate her. What is asked from hor Europe has tho right, and it is its duty, to exact, if sho grants it, tho peace of the world is assured, tho object of the allied Powers attained. If **he ro sanes, war will continue and decide it. “At tho moment wo write these grave solutions are being prepared and discussed at the Vienna Conferences, where Mr. Drouyn de Lhnys and Lord John Russell have taken, with the authority of their character and position, tho expression of the common thought of their Governments. The country must confidently await the result of that decisive trial. U may *ay that peace will be con cluded, if it is possible with honor to the flags of France and England, and security for their influ ence, and that war, if it should continuo, will no necessary for the object proposed by the allied Governments and from whicn nothing can turn thorn aside. “But a great result is acquirod nlroady from tho very faot of theso negotiations. France and Eng land have loyally negotiated with Austria to sllow hor policy to exhaust tho last resources ol concil iation. Those conferences of which Vienna is the contie, are the loyal aud honest act of the Empo ror Francis Joseph. But tho allied powers kuow that it Austria docs not succeed in this noble effort of her Europoan patriotism, sho will fight ro o lntely with them. In limiting thoir demand to tho very conditions accepted by tho Vienna Cabinet in the treaty of tho Second of Jlcoembcr, thoy have gained tho common cause an important and devoted ally. The possibility of peace, like the necessity of war, must henceforth be only a fa i in common to tho three Powers, who slgnod that treaty. The solidarity of their interests and of their engagements would unite th un in the strug gle as it has united them i (1 the Conferences, sticl that grand European conlederation wili soon havo triumphed over every resistanoo. “Franco and England may, therefore, congratu late themselvos in having consented to negotiate while continuing to fight. In acting thus, they have not ODly given a proof of moderation—they have incroasod their strength. Their adhesion to an honorable aud poesiblo peaco, having ns u con sequence the support of Austria in a necessary and legitimate war, is an act counselled by wisdom, aud which will be approved by public opinion. “ One word moro, in conclusion, ft Is perhaps, a novel and bold thing to sp ak of the military and diplomatic conductor a war while tho army is fighting and negotiations are ponding. Wo thought that it was precisely the moment to epeah to the country. Truth is only a danger for the weak.

To the Editor of the A cut York Da i'y Times. — Sir : A letter from the Wa&hmgton correspondent of the New York Herald, dated March 17th, and pnb lißhod in that journal ot tfca 18th, contains state ments whohy inexact and at the same timo irju rioua to me. If Mr. Cushing or Mr. Calderon do la Barca liavo at any timo interested themselves in my favor, ns alleged, it is an honor which I esteem; but I have never received a word from eithor of those gentio men, nor have lever addros .od either of them on the subject referred to in that leltor. If such in terest was manifested it was entirely unsolicited by me, and oonseq -cully still moro entitled to my acknowledgment. I have never played the spy to any body nor for any body. I havo never failed in my duty to wards Mr. Soule as Secrets y of this legation, nor have I ever addressed Mr Marcy, or any other rnomber of the Government, directly or indirectly, concerning the affairs of this legation, while Mr. Soule was at its head and responsible for what might here occur. But when \ myself became the solo Bcprosentativo of the United States at the Court of Spain, I In my turn became directly responsible to the President and the county lor whatsoever might be done or left undone here. Whatever may have boen my course during that period, it is not open to the charge of insubordina tion towards Mr. Soule, seeing that I was not the Charge <VAffaires ot Mr. Soulo, but of the Uni od States of America, whlih is quite a different thing. While Mr. Soulo waa in the position of a Minis ter Plenipotentiary appointed to Spain, but not in the exercise of his functions, nor recognised by the Spanish Government, whatever instructions ho might choose to give me, not proceeding directly from the President or the Secretary of State, conlrl bo viewed aa nothing more than counsel and ad vice—counsel which I always took pains to follow, in form at least, out of respect to him who had been and might aga'n bo my superior officer ; counsel which 1 followed iu form, and in spirit also, whenever in my judgment it was not clearly opposed to the express instruction oi the Govern ment at Washington or the sacred interests of the United State then trusted to my charge. 1 performed my duty towards America as I was able in the difficult circumstances in which I was placed. Events will prove whether 1 periormod it woll or ill. If my judgment waa different from that of Mr. Soule as to the policy which ought to be pursued here, I am responsible for its justness or its error, not to him, but to the Cover- moot and to the ceuntry. I certainly did not conceal my opinions upon affairs eitner fr m Mr. Soule or the Secretary of State, nor did I hesitate to speak them to the Spanish Government whenever I thought that course necessary for the interests ot the United States, guarding always the letter of the directions of Mr. Soule as far as possible, from respe-t to the dignity ho enjoyed, and bolding up that dignity in the presence ot the Government and people of Spain, then highly incensed against him, on all occasions and in every manner. I was not aware that 1 enjoyed the putr nage of anybody. W.th Mr. Marcy I have not the honor ot a personal acquaintance. I havo never address ed him except as Secretary of State, and the first * xt ever received from him was it the lest days of November, J 854, simply acknowledging the ro oeiptof documents. * 8 utterly false that whilst I was writing one thing to the Secretary of State I was writing another and a different thing to Mr. Soulo, apposing the Administration and speaking of its conduct as treacherous and cowardly. J&Such things should not bo written without tho presentation of the proof. I call for that proof from every one who may suppose that he has evi dence to the truth of the statement, without ex ception ol any; and if it should not appear, I leave the author of that statement under tho weight of his own work in tho opinion of all honorable men. Sir, your obedient servant, Horatio J. Pjerry.

W'aihlngion Kailoti&l Monument. Address of the Hoard of Managers of the B aeh ington Nitioyial Monument Society to the People of the U . States. Fm.,.,w.c mzES3 : We address you on behalf of Washington National Monument Assoc'dion, i na submit lor your consideration the following ro- POft of what has boon dono: 18 C *’. rn ? r “? ne was laid on the 4th of July, At that timo thorn was in the treasury of theAssocmt.ou the sum of $62,450.66 lbe work ban arono on wit-h varied progrops, until the sum ot $280,000, tho product of voluntary contributions ulono, hus boon expended in its orco tion. Tbo original estimate of tho cost of tho whole work—tho shaft, tho hose, and tho ornamental pari—exceeded $1,222,000. Tho base, built of tho blue stoue of tho Potomac, soli- 1 and iudostructiblo, is sunk eight foot below tho surface, aud ri: o seventeen and a half feet above the surface of the surrounding earth. It is titty live toot square at its top. From this springs tho shaft, tho wal’s of blue stone fifteen foot thick, faced with white marble fourteen inches thick, in courses two foet in height, tiod and bounded into tho blue stone at ovory course. In its ascent it diminishes gradually and regularly in tho exterior line. Tho interior is carried up a straight undoviating chamber. Within, and sot into the solid wails of this interior, according to tho tasto of tho architect, havo been plac d, and are yet to bo placed, tho stouos con.ributed by States, communities, and associations. Th.s naked shaft, thus rigidly cut, thus firmly based, thus indissolubly bonded, now lises in its simplo uud grand proportions ono hundred aud ilfty-two and a half loot above tho blue stono bn o. It is already ono of tho firet objects whiol meet the oye of tno travoll r as ho passes through tho hills by which tho city is hemmed in, and ho starts to find the immense) machi or/ on its top designed for lilting stono still idle, and anxiously inquires tho cause. Follow-countrymon, wo are pninod to pay it in your neglect. When tho scattered and subjugated Polish nat ion, and tho friends of liberty in Europe began to erectmonument to tho> made it a labor of love*, and from valley, and moun tain and plain, and running stream, tar ana near, they brought stones aud piled and heaped them into a vast pyramidal racund to testily that love. And now, alter tho lapse of thirty yoais, amid the convulsions which have shaken that unhappy country, pilgrim hands still swell that pile witbi constant contributions. Wo are erecting a monument toonegreatorthan Kosciusko-—to him who in history or myth is known among every kindred and nation of tho cartli; who laid tho foundations, gave tbo propor tions, and superintended tho structure of that Govornmont which, with maraoulous speed, has risen to tho front rank among the nations, and wa call upon yon for aid. Men well known to you havo given to it long yours of carefulness and labor. They havo boon urgent and pressing in Ihoir calls for help, and you Lave, to a certain extent, respon ded to their call. It was not their work, it was yours; they were giving their time, and euro uud labor, and money in tho sarno causa with you. But they have failed; not for lack of enorgy or zeal on their part, but from want of that ac.iou and sympathy on yours which .vas essential to success. You tho people of this broad and happy land; yon tho children of Washington ; you, to whom he has left tho priceless bo quest of his services aid liis love, have held hack tho contrloution neoded from each to erect to his memory a suitable Monument in tho National Metropolis. While thousands havo answerod promptly the appeal to their pa triotism, and contributed the amount already re ceived, and expended, tho far greater number, either from apathy or want of opportunity, h vo failed to join in this work of graceful duty. This failure compelled our prodecossors to arrest the prosecution of tho work, uud to appeal to Congress for assistance. Fellow-countrymen, this is not a suitable object, of legislative provision. A free, a prosperous, a. thriving people will not allow a debt of lovo and gratitude, duo by ovory individual heart, to bo discharged by an uct of Congress. r A new Board ot Managers havo now been ap pointed. Wo come into cilice under'favorablo auspices, and with well founded hopes of moans to prosecute the work. Since our election, on tho 22a February last, wo have not boon idle. Our arrangements havo bcon begun, and are in pro gress. Wo appeal to tho peoplo. Wo wish no legislative aid. Wo look to Ires hearts ; we call upon all, not the liboral and tho genorous alono. Wo call upon each man who this day walks erect in ah the panoply of freedom in this broad land, who is not dead to tho common impulses of hu manity, who is worthy in tho loast degree of the oountless and diversified blessings by which ho is surrounded, wo call upon men evorywhero to con tribute one;i his mite. A great and mighty people of twenty five millions cannot bo so dead to tho sensations which are iuuato in every breast at tho baro naming of such a beuoiuctor as to refuse or neglect to give their aid in such a cause.

An Incident or War.—Wo oxtraot tho follow ing passage from tho lotter of a private soldier, dated at Sevastopol, and published in the London Times: “ Having sooa Mr. Russell's glowing description of the battle oi Inkormann, I noed not attempt to say a word on the subject. From his desciipUon all you wanted to givo Ji'e to tho word-pointing was to hear tho roaring of the cannons, and listen, to the clash of arms. Ono scone, however, I can not withheld, as it affected mo so muoli. In tho heat of the batllo a young Russian offleor rnado himre f very conspicuous, and appeared irdiffer out to danger. lie was young, tali, handsome, and indeed beautiful. Twieo 1 hod my rills raised to shoot him, but my hoart eiduVo me, and I turnod it in another direction. 11l an hour I saw him again, but, oh, how changed. Hi* cheeks, which haft jeon noshed with the heat of the strife, were now doadly.palo. He lay, or half-reclined, on tho edge of a tVhio'ek, and held the miniature-likeness of a pvestv young lady in his hand, which had b»ou tied to his neck by a small gold ehaia. His eyes wore fixed npon it, but they vero fixed in death. I cannot toll you what my footings woro. Indeed, I cannot venture. It would unman me.” I Tbk Late Emperor Nicholas. —Dr. Mend*, the I physician who atlcndod the Oar Nicholas iu his last iilnns-q has published a circumstantial account of the closing scenes of the monarch’s life. ‘At 10 minutes past 8; says the doctor, ‘ho asked mo, after I had mentioned the name of his fatheroon fossor, ‘Must I then die ?’ I ans wered, ‘Yes, sir.’ Not a muscle of hisfaco mevod, not the least quick ening of pulsation. ‘How,’said he,‘cun you find the courage thus to doom mo to death ; to tail mo so to my face!’ ‘First,’ said I, ‘by so doing I ful fil! a promise made to yon a year and a haii ago!: the moment of wbi h you then spoke to me, alas I has noma; moreover, I thus fulfill u doty to tho Emperor.

Measurement ov Eabthouakes.—The former di rector of the Observatory at Prague, Dr. Kroil, has invented an ingenious instrument to measure the forco, duration, and direction of earthquakes. It consists of a pendulum so contrived that, whilst it oau move in any direction, it cannot rotnrn. A perpendicular cylinder is attached, which, by menus of clock work, turns on its vertieai axis in twer.ly-four I ours. A polo with a thin elastic arm is fixed near the pondulnm ; this arm points to wards the cylinder, and presses on it gently a pencil, by which moans an unbroken line is formed on the surfaoe of the cylinders us long as the pen dulum is at rest, but if it is put iu motion by an earthquake, the pencil makes broken marks, which show the strength, direction, and period of the earthquake. Tick Enjoyment oe Occupation— The mind re quires some object on which its powers must be txerci-.od, and without, it preys upon itself and becomes miserable. A porson accustomed to a life oi activity long for case and retirement, and when he hasaccomplishe J his purpose, findi hirri sell wretched. Tho pleasure of relaxation is known to those only who have regular and intor resting occupation. Continued relaxation soon becomes a wearincas; and, on this ground, wo may safely assert that tho greaicEt degree of real enjoyment bciODga not to the roan of wealth, or tho listless vo’ary of fashion, hut to tho middle classes of society, who along with tho comforts of life, have constant and important occupation.
