Columbia and t-'rln, BY ■iXiaeEKTßCni BUOHSXaB, S jEMgfcLY KAiU Qi.Blf.Zlti KTLB. The follow mg extract* are from the above named Poem. They are well calculated to awaken the pa triotism both of Americans and Irishmen. This poem forms one of a volume of Poetry soon to be published by the gifted Authoreee ; Once, o’er Columbia’s favored land, Oppression’! cloud in darkness hung, While Tyranny's ensanguined band Aroond her sons s'rong fetters flung; Beauteous as now looked Nature's t row Beneath young Bpring’s half-opened floe era, As brightly beamed the sunny glow Tnat warmed her cheek in Sommer hours; As ri:h the tints that Autumn wove To deck her *mid the fading grove, As pure the smoky robe that lay Around her form in Winter’s day As grandly free Niagara swept Hi! waters o’er the rooks’ dread side, Ah fair the “Thousand Islands” slept On broad St. Laurence’s tranquil tide ; As Queanlike fay far famed Champlain Em be tome i ’mid her moo tains va£t, Ai fairy like rip t Music’s stran O’er Seneca’s calm bosom past; As proudly Mirs'ssppi rushed Right onward to h i ocean bed ; As sweetly dewy Morning blushed, Where Hudson his blue waters spread ; Yes ! beauteous was our much-loved land, From Plymouth’s rock to gable’s strand. But to the eye where lurks the glow, Beneath oppretsion’s mandates dire, What matter if the eun looks bright Upon a thousand beautie j round ? Dimmed it the pare, the peerless light, In f ibbety’s high Temple found ; And round its sacred altar stand Where every knee should freely bow— The red ranks of a foreign land, Guarding its faint, expiring glow, With wrathful looks, aa if they fear Some dauntless hand will yet draw nigh, To light anew the fl ame so dear, Or by its waning eplendor die. And fee! b?h nd the altar kneeling, Where day’s declining beam is stealing, Like eagle cow’ring ’neath the storm Which hi* bold wing ne more can brave, Fair Freedom’s seif—her sinkiDg form, Is eeen beside an open grave, Dug by th* Invaders awerds to hide Her glory in its voiceless gloom, When Tyranny, with mocking pride, Should seal her fated children’s doom. Crushed is her amaranthine crown, And dinmed the lustre of that eye, Whose light led Roman Biutus on, Fearless to cotujuer or to die. Ah, Freedom ! ia this mighty land, ThegTAH wrested from the night of ages By him whose high, heroic hand, Enrolled its name on Time’s vast pages, Ih:u once didst fondly hope to raise A Temple, whose foundation sure (Os every age the boast and praise,) ghou’d to earth’B latest hour endure. Vain hope 1 for even in this clime, Over whose virgin, daxzling brow, So lightly moved the wiig of Time, It seemed as if its beauty now, F.esh from creatlo ’s fingers burst, Nor felt, aa yet, earth's deem accurst.

Where Tgranny ha found a grave In this unrivalled, glorious Land.” With kindling eye and eager hand Her altar’s spotlers drapery She took, and )n her bended knee Bbe dipped it iu her children’s gore,— Her flowing Veil in *• Strip«s” she tore, And from the dazzling crown she wore, She caught each “Star Gkm” flashing bright— Then from the rich braids of her hair (As bright as morning sunbeams are) She plucked seme threads of purest gold, And wove hem both in its crimsoned fold. “ This is Columbia’s Fiau of Lioirr,” She eried in loud, exulting tone, And thine ohl peer'ess Washington, Thine is the hand this F ag to hold— For thine the soul to guard its fold In tho following lines of deep pathos we have a melancholy contrast to the glowing picture of Americau liberty, in the moving description of Ireland’s present desolation—the sad trait of ages of wrong and oppression—but, at the same time, the authoress does dot leave unsung tho ancient glory of tho land of her birth. Ah! once in Erin’s lovely Isle Fair Freedom’s Temp’e reared its head, While streaming from the s z ere pile— IU source her ever-radiant smile— A brilliant light was shed Over those suony vales that lie, Beneath Hibernia’s weeping sky; Ard warmed by that en not mg light Prcui Science oped his wonderous page. Y si when the cl'ads of mental niglit Hrng o'er the world, Hibernia’s sage Its seorets scanned with kindlirg eys, And waved ain't the torch whose gleam, Bright as the sun god’s noonday beam, Can ne wr, tterer die.

But, oh 1 wl hi n those ruins dark, Amid that deso’ation dire, Glows yet a faint but living spark Os Liberty’s oeleetial fire ; And by that pale and trembling light, Hibernia her sad watch has kept, Whi’e age on age, in rapid flight, Has o’er her beauteous island swept; And still be.'ide that sacred fire, Heart-rick she yet her vigil keeps, While o’er the chords of her sweet lyre, Her hand in fitful fancy sweeps, And wakes such tender,.burning strains, That floating o’er the enerald plains, They reach the aouita it. most cells.

Stephens, giving hi*» views of “Know Nothingism,” as he terms it, is founded on a misconception of the objects of the American party, and calls for a review, which I shall proceed to give in a aeries of numbers, as leisure may permit. His views are set forth with his usual ability, and in an ad captandum vein, which is more calculated to excite partisan feel ings, than to inform the judgment and convince the understanding. In the outset of his remarks, he says: “And in giving my views of ‘Know Nothingism, 1 I ought, perhaps, to premise by saying, and most truly, that I really ‘know nothing 1 about the principles, aims, or objects of the party I am about to speak of; they are all kept secret—they are held in the dark; being communicated and made known only to the initiated, aud not to those, until after being tint duly pledged and sworn.” Here he ought to have stopped; for if it is “most true,” to use his own language, that he “knows nothing” about the principles, aims, or objec’s of the party, he ought to have said “nothing and thereby he would have avoided the many errors into which he has fallen. And such a course would have been eminently proper, from the fact that as he never, according to his professions, ‘carries his principles in his pocket,” but is ever ready to proclaim aud vindicate them—so he ought, in the same spirit of candor, never to dißcass the principles of others without knowing what they are; and more especially should candor have re strained him from making injurious imputations against his friends and former political associates, on unfounded assumptions. He has not been un and who have on all oocaaiona given him a hearty support. He has inflicted upon them as heavy blows ts it wai in hie power to give. He may Barely expect hi» blows to be warded off, and let him not be surprised if he receives blows in return. One great objection whioh Mr. Stephens urges to the American party, is, the secrecy with which it carries on its operations. He has been en gaged in polities long enough to know that all part es have their secrets, secret agents and secret operations; no party could successfully oompete for power without them. The Democratic party hold secret consultations, to deviß* means to be used secretly, to secure success, and they bat ex ercise the priviiige of freemen in so doing; no one has a right to complain of it, or to seek to know their socrels. And so also of the Whig party. T ie American party claim for themselves the like privilege—and being a new party jnst spring ing into being, there was, and ie, an indiapensible neoeosity lor observing tocreoy. The organixation is composed of men from both the old parties— men who have had to break loose from the tram mels of party. Ho one knows better than Mr. Stephens the binding force of paity drill, and how hard it is for men to dissolve old political associa tions; but few have the moral oourage to do it openly and publicly. If the American party bad been an open, public organization from its incep tion, but lew would have loft the ranks of the other parlies to have joined it. There are thousands of men in the country— Whigs aud Democrats—who honestly feel and believe tl at both the old parties have become oor rupt, and nuworthy of preservation; that tbe only distinctive difference between them now ia, who shall be in office, and who out, and their contests are not for principles, but have beeome mere scrambles for place and power; and to so great an extent bas this evil grown, that to seek for office is to become au open mouth, brawling demagogue of the first water. No one else is considered available, and parlies seek no other qualification in their candidates than availability. Hence, the country, through the operation of party tactics is in the hands and under the control and domina tion of demagogues. This state of things is unde niably true iu relation to both Federal and State Governments, aud the people—that is, the massed, irrespective of old party lines, believing it to be so, leel the nemssily of forming au organization, with nobler objects in view, than the gratification of office seekers; an organization which will wrest ■he country from the domination of demagogues— put down party leaders—purify the ballot box, and restore our government to its pristine purity. This is the work in whioh the American party ia engaged, and it has brought on a conflict, not merely with foreigners, but with native born dem agogues, who control foreign voters, as mere loolb to elevate themselves to office. It is a mistake to suppose that onr efforts are directed against foreigners alone—we are striking over them at the demagogues woo rule them. Indeed, that is the grand reason for endeavoring to exclude foreigners from the ballot box; it is to deprive demagogues of the means by which they now climb to power— hence this wsr is waged not alone and entirely with the foreign voter, but first and foremost with parly leaders aud demagogues, who are unwilling to yield np without a struggle such potent and pliant instruments as they have found foreign vo ters to be in carrying oat their objects; and hence, the determined opposition which we meet from those who are dependent upon the “a ! d and com fort'’ which foreigners bring them lor success in their struggles for power and office. Take from them these votes, or render these votes unavailing in elections by a combination sufficiently strong to overcome them, and their “occupation ’a gone.”— The deteat of foreign voters is their defeat. And here 1 beg to disolaim making any application of these remarks to the Honorable Gentleman whose letter lam reviewing. I acquit him of ever hav ing played the demagogue to court the votes of foreigners. Indeed I have reason to believe and do verily believe t hat he has felt as keenly the mortification of defeat, which was inflicted on the purty with which he acted, by the aid of foreign votes as any one among us, and I am only sur prised that be is not now one of ut. 1 have made these remarks to show that our contest is not merely with foreigners, as such, but it is with tbe demagogues who rule them; we wish to strike this instiument of power for ruin and mischief from their hands, and by the help of God we intend to do it. To do this we have to separate from loaders whom we have heretofore followed. Now, no one is willing to enter into an open contest with party loaders with whom he has acted for years. The separation must be made secretly or not at all.— We ignore both the old party organisations—we have Bbaken off their control and influence, and will have no more of their dictation; and that we may do this uninterrupted by them, we meet in secret, transact our business in secret, keep our names secret, lest we might be importuned too strongly to return to the old fold ; and the sum of the whole matter is, we do what every party does, ae keep our own ttcrelt. We make such arrange ments as we think will best snbeerve our own purposes, without letting our opponents know what they are, and let no one be alarmed at that. We plot no treason and shall erect no guillotine, only one, to cut off, not the heads, but the power of demagogues. Our object ia not to subvert, but to preserve our government as originally formed; not to destroy, bnt to save the Constitution; not to dissolve, but to perpetuate the Union—the Union which was formed by Washington and Ma dison and their compatriots. We have a right to meet in secret, make our arrangemeute in secret, aud vote for whom we please without letting any one else know it; and for this we have high au thority. Wo claim that we are exercising not on ly a natnral right, bnt are carrying out the policy established by the legislative power of our own State. We have a law upon our statute book, which requires all managers of elections, whether the; be freeholders, Justices of the Inferior Court, or ustices of the Peace, to take and subscribe an oath not to divulge lor whom any vote is cast, un less called under the law to do so; and further, they are required to cause the number annexed to the name of the voter to be entered upon his ticket, and on counting out the tiokets, not to suffer them to be examined by the bystanders, but carefully to preserve them and Beal them in a strong envelope, and return them to the Clerk of the Superior Court in each county to be preserved by him for sixty days, and if there be no oontest about the election, they are to be burned without being examined by him or any one else. Here is secrecy—secrecy in voting, and our secret ballot is guarded by the sanction of an oath. Now, when we meet together in private rooms, from which none are excluded, who, from honeat motives, are willing to unite with ns, it is not to plot treason against our government, nor to send men to the guillotine, by orders passed in our oeuneils, but simply to concert measures and make arrangements to ensure the success of the tickets which we may run to carry out our objects. This is what every party does, and though the machinery of all may not be the same, yet all partiea have their secrete, and their secret meetings, and seoret operations. It were useless to deny it; all who haye had any correction with politics, know it to be so ; and why ours should be singled out and denounced as tending to anarchy, revolution and bloodshed, ia utterly incomprehensible. It is an insinuation uncalled for, and if I were disposed to retort, 1 might ask. if it is not the ebullition of a spirit, which feels the slight of not having been consulted in this movement, and begins to chafe in anticipa tion of the less of party control; but I forbear makiog the insinuation, and will grant that the gentleman was not under the influence of such a feeling; but I must be permitted to add, that whatever may have prompted the inuendo, it ia unworthy the souroe whence it oomes, and ia re pelled, as a libel upon the party, to which an ap plication of it ia attempted to be made. So much for the charge of secrecy—other parts of the letter will claim attention as convenience may permit. Smifir.

AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1855. For the Chronicle & Sentinel. Reply to the Letter of Mr. Stephen!. Mb. Editor : Bome days sinoo you published s letter from the Hon. A. H. Stephens, intended es an erpoeition of hie views of the Know Nothing movement. We had hoped that some one better calculated to repel so viiulent an attack upon the principle®, motives and object* of the Order, would have replied to it; but, aa they have not, we have determined to essay tb* task, relying up on the justice of onr oaxxse rather than our own strength, for the hope of Bucoesaj Mr. Stephens opens his fierce onslaught against the American party by stating in effect that no thing ia known of their principles or objects by any but thoee who have been initiated, and not by them until they have been duly sworn, dec., albeit, a little lower down in the same column, he admits that they claim for one of their principles, at least, that “ Americans shall rule America,” and he devotes several columns of his letter to disprove, (we quote his own language,) “ the two leading ideas of their principles as published, viz: the exclusion of Catholioa and foreigners from of flee.” He also seems to have learned, that as a party, they are in favor of an abrogation of the naturalisation laws, or the extension of tha period to a term at least equal to that which is required of the native population. We must coulees that to ua it seems a very unfortunate waste of time, not to say thought, to devote three columns, out of four and-a-hslf, to the demolition of a man of straw—the subversion of tbe principles of a par ty who have none, or if they have, keep them in hiding places or Becret coverts, the natural re sorts of error. • We then deny, unequivocally, that the princi ples or objects of Ihe A v**- uarty are kept concealed. They ha*, o b\Tt pV*':.»! u rough their various organs, and acknowledged by many of their adherents throughout the length snd breadth of tbe land. They have been announoed from the stamp, the < ditorial chair and the torua in every nook and corner of the Union ; they are known and read of all men; the secrets, then, ot the Order do not embrsee tbeir principles, these sny person has a right to know before be is obli gated—they only serve a s protection to the per sons and rights of the munbent snd the interests of the Order aa a political parly. They differ from tha secret political juntas of other parties, (in some of which Mr. Stephens himaslf has often held prominent position!-,) only in being better organised, for the simpU reason that they have to contend with a concealed foe on the one hand in the shape of Jesnitioal organizations through out the land, and with demagogues and political aspirants cc the other, whose hold upon the Amerioan people is sotdnacious that no thing but the most solimn obligations, binding them to the support ol a great prinoiple, oould unloose it. The Bignal failure of the Native American par ty, whioh originated in Philadelphia in 1842, in attempting to overoometbe oombination of dema gogues and foreigners, ianght them a lesson. They saw that while thousand throughout the land were with them in sentiment, many sf them could not break loose from the shackles of party, and others, particularly the poorer clasees in communities where foreign influenoi prevailed to a considera ble extent, were afraid to speak ont. Hence, the organisation of a secret American party which oould bind them by stronger obligations than old party leaders, and enable them to keep secret their connection with an order, which, ifkoown, might subject them to be turned out of employment, or knocked down by the first Irish bully they might meet. Yes, as much as we boas; of our freedom, and the right of independent speech and action, the time has come iu many parti of the country, where the Priest and the Jesnit ixists, that native born Americans are afraid to sa,7 any thing against Catholics or foreigners, nnder tie apprehension of being injured, either in tneir person or property. They see existing in their very nidst a seoret ma lign power, at work for the subversion of the prin ciples of onr government, andthep know that to at tack such a foe in open day light, having all their party plans and purposes exposed, would be as fu tile as to attempt any other impossible thing.— They know it would lead to tuibilent outbreaks of tbe people, if not to midnight essaaeinations in many places; hence a great necewity has urged them to do what they have a right to do; and no politioal aspirant bas any right to call theirmotivee in question, or compare them tc the Jaoobins of France, because, forsooth, he did not originate their order, or has not been initiated into their se cret counsels. But what of the Jacobins ? Mr. Stephens has oertainly overshot himself when he has attempted to contrast Native Americana with the Jaoobins of the old world, the very men they are organized against. For Jacobinism was au o&hoi, of Jeaulb ism, combining political with socleßiastical intrigue, and embracing in its hellish folds the Catholic and tbe Atheißt. We can pass by, as of no great mo ment, the historical error he commits in saying they first called themselvee Friend* ofthe Conetitu tion, when, indeed, their first self-sty led cognomen was Friendt of the Revolution, But can we paas un noticed the charge of treachery to onroountryf All that we lack of being the same men, are the Bame circumstances, and if we get into power we will do for Americans what the Jacobins did for France. Was ever Bnoh an insult offered by any man to any party in this country! Who were the Jaoo bins ? According to Mr. Stephens’ historian, they “ were men, who treated with equal scorn the sen timents of religion and the feelings of humanity— who attempted to decree God out of the Universe; for the first item in the principles of their Order was, that there is no God.” Another historian says, that they nnited rare energy with exeoreble vice, and politioal madness with outrageous cruel ty. Their prime object was revolution, and having no virtue or integrity when the revo lution came, anarchy, tyranny and bloodshed came with it. These ere the men with whom the Native Americans are contrasted, although it ia utterly Impossible for either of tbe class- es of which the Jacobinß wore composed vis: Catholics or Atheists, ever to enter their por tals. We ask Mr. Stephens, in all candor, if hs believes there are sny Bimilar elements in this country, out of wbiob to form such an organiza tion. Do tbe Protestant patriots of the land affiliate with traitors, murderers, apostate priests snd Atheists, or are there auy principles at work by which they can possibly be thus metamor phosed! Can he compare, for a moment, the present oondition of Protestant Amerioa with that of Catholic Franoe, prior to the Reign of Terror I Upon what then does he base the assertion I Why is the American party more likely to ruin the country than any other» For he says “if that party carries the election, State and Federal, the oountry will go by the board ; it will go as France did.” The only response to all this is, they keep tbeir own srerets, therefore they osnnot be trust ed. Does Mr. Stephens helieve that France oould have been rained by a hundred Becret orders if tbe public virtue had been as elevated as it is in America ! Ie it possible bo to oontort reason and common sense to our wishes, as to believe that the enlightened, the pious, the oonsoionoious and the patriotic Protestants of Amerios, eould be prostituted to the dirty Jesuitical work of the prostituted to tbs dirty Jesnitioal work of the French Jacobins! Could suoh s work be wrought without tbe handiwork of Jesuits aud Atheists who are forever excluded from the Order! In looking at the patriotic and Christian prineiples upon which the Native American party is based and the men of which it is composed, well may we ask with the poet, in reference to them— “ Breathes there a man to shame ao dead. Who sever to himself hath said. This is my cws my native land <” We can answer lor a host, that there is no such man among them, and all are pledged for religion freedom to every Church, be it Catholic or Protea tant. The preemption is not against a religions but a political enemy. The Romish Church being as much a political party as the Abolitionist are, far more dangerons because more powerful. We go for proscribing them as Mr. Stephens does 'he Abolitionists and the Demoorata, that is by voting for better man and pushing them out of office. But Mr. Btephep makes a fall swipe at tha aeoret organisations of this country. He has no sec re!» and will nut affiliate with those who have. “Their hiding pilose and secret covarte are the natural re sorta of error.” Because the Jacobins helped to ruin Franoe and the Jaoobins were a secret Order, therefore all secret Orders are Jaoobins, and will ruin the oountriee in wbioh they exist This is hi« argument—the veriest sophistry in the world, and may be turned with great effect against him. History ia fall of secret Ordera pud combina tions which have saved tee lives and liberties of thousands, and without which each salva tion oould no. have oome. The first seoret politi cal movement of which we have any aooount originated with Moses, sanctioned by God him self, and was designed to rescue Israel from Egyptian bondage. Next, we have David with hie ed he rente hiding from the firoe anger of a tyrant. By secret organisation* of hie countrymen, feign ing the simple habits of the shepherh, Alfred the Great, rescued his country from the domination of the Danse. And Samuel Adams and others form ed e secret Gique, habited themselves like Indians, and on the 6th of March, 1776, struck the tret blow for American liberty—the very liberty the Know Nothing monument ia designed to perpetuate.— We might add that it wes partly by a aeoret order oalled the oonapirators of St. Andrews, that Scot land was freed from the curse of Catholicism.— And even our Sevioua and hia disciples had to be secret in their movements, for fear of the Jaws, and more than onoe, out of motives of policy, he commanded them in reference to oertain things— “ See thou tell no men.” Bat in none of tbeee does Mr. Stephens find a vindication for secrecy, or i parallel for the American movement. It’e Ja cobinism, and nothing else witk him, becuaee their meetings ere kept secret from the world. Under the same ban may be placed the Masons, Odd Fal lows and Temperance Associations, throughout tha laud. However much they may have aided in elevating the pubtio virtue, end inouleating the pure prineiplae of patriotism and benevolence, they held their meeting* til “Qm natural reaorta of •rror,” and Mr. Stephens knows as little of them as of the others. The same charges have made against them again and again ; but yet tbe coun try has not baan ruined by them, but we verily believe its principles have been strengthened, and its existence perpetuated by these secret ofders For they are oomposed of good men and patriots, and so well convinced ia the old Pope, that he cannot succeed where they flourish—that he has more than once issued his bulls against them, especially the Masons, and forbidden all the true subjects of tbe Papal crown in every land to h: vo anything to do with them. This is a singular co incidence, truly. But the gentleman is too much of a day-light man to have auy secrets, and yet he has ofiln par ticipated in the secret sessions of Congress—a body hardly more virtuous than any Know Noth ing counoil in the land—at any rate, we would just as soon trust our political destinies in the bauds ofthe National Counoil of K. N’s. as the Congress of the United States. There would be quito as many Freesoilers and Disanionists among the lat ter. By the way, we wonder how Mr. Stepheus can bring himsolf up to tbe point, to sit in seoret these freesoilers of Congress afier he hac washed hie hands so clean of tho Kuow Nothings, because they have traitore ot this class among them. And what national party has not ! But the honorable gentleman has no p litical se crets, and yet he has been known to mingle in secret party oaucases again and again, aud to hold secret political juntas with leading men of his par ty, (not only dating the Cobb dynasty, but before and since,) for the purpose of manufacturing its dogmas, guiding its dostinies and dividing its offices. This was exactly tbe way the Jacobins of France did their work. They were at Amt a lite rary club, then a politioal oattouf, and fnally a secret order of demagogues and political aspirants. In this they differ essentially from the Native American party, who want no ambitious dema gogues among them, and have pnrpoaeiy kept them ont for fear of their baleful influence. We leave it to the American people to dacide which is most likely to prove Jaoobinical, tho secret juntas of politioal demagogues, or the councils of the Native Americans, who are seeking to establish the great principle that “Americans shall rule America.” We are disposed, however, to do Mr. Stophens and his compeers in secrecy more justice than he has done the Know Nothings. Wo do not accuse them of Jacobinical tendencies ; altbough their motives are selfish, yet they have too much patriot ism to ruin the country if they cou'd, and Mr. Stephens knows as much of tho Protestant or Na tive American party, wi ether he says it or not. He knows that the only Jacobins that are in this country, or likely to be, are sent out by the propa ganda of Kome to direct tbe crude elements of Catholic emigration—the very elements which en gendered Jacobinism in France, and against which the seoret thunders of Know Nothingism are di rected. But in this connection Mr. Stephens aeks, “Is history of no nse!” We will tell him its uses in few words. History teaches us that Jacobinism is an offshoot of Komanism, never of Protestant ism. That they held tbeir first meetings in s monastery, and one of their leading men (Chabot) was a Romish priest. It teaches farther, that the great and good Lafayette united with them, bnt finding ont their nefarious designs, be abandoned them and subsequently declared, “that if ever the liberties of this country were destroyed it would be by Romish priests.” History teaches that they have destroyed the liberties of every country where they have gained the ascendency, and that the blood of Protestants from' he Wsidenßes dowu to the recent Italian Inquisitions, has been made to flow like water, wherovor they lei! into their hands. History also tells of a secret order which infests every country where they can gain admis sion, existing as an independent monarchy iu the bosom of other governments float they havo a General who lives at Rome under tho wing of tbe Pope, who ie in fact their king ; his word is law, and they are bound by the most solemn oaths to do whatever he tells them, end all other oaths ot allegiance are subordinate to this. They never rest till they get the reinß of government in their own hands, if possible. Kings have been assas sinated by them, snd they have for their nefarions political interferences been expelled from overy country in Europe. Even the Pope abolished tbe order at one time because il brought Ca thoiocism into disrepute, but il, August 1814 Pope Pius Til issued a bull, restoring them to their former privileges, and calling upon Catholic prinoes to afford them protection and encourage ment. They have several colleges in this country already, and out of 187 Popish teachers, 102 aro professed Jesuits. They are bound to make a monthly report to their General, of all tho religious and political movements in tbe and to tut in reference to them just as be says, though it should be to assassinate the President or any man who might be in the way of their success. Perjury, to them, ia no sin, if tbe ebjoct of it be to spread Cath olicism, or aeqairo political influence in n country. History teaches all this, ami much more than we have Bpaoe to mention. No one knows, or possibly can know tbe extent of their influence in this oountry. One of them may eat at your table, in struct your children, and profrss to be a good Protestant, and you never suspect thorn. Their great aim now ia to make tbeir mark in America. The Pope holds his powor in Europe by a leeblo tenure, aDd ia doubtlos3 looking to tha time when enough of hie foreign vassals will be transported to thU country to carry its elections. They alrc dy hold tbe kalanoe of power, and God on y knows how long, nnder tho present naturalization law» | ere they shall be in the ascendant; and then, faro well to liberty of Bpeech and relgious toleration I Already this old serpent is winding himself with deadly ooil about the pillars of the government, and if not arrested, the genius of America will he throttled in the oradle of liberty, tbe glaring eye of inquisitorial torture be seen, and tho hiss of Popish contempt for Proteßtant freedom be hoard ;□ the last citadel of our strength, These are the men with whom Mr. Stephens now proposes to affiliate, and to fi-ht side by Bide against Native Americans, and whom ho places ahead of all other denominations in this country, for their love of its institutions and adherence to the Constitution. Prohpudor ! Mr. Stephens, “is history of no use !” Hear nim: “But I think, of all the Christian denominations in tho United States, tha Catholics are tbe last that Southern people ahouid join iu attempting to put under the ban of civil proscription.” To reverse tho sent ence, bat not to change tbe sense, the gentleman thinks that if the Know Nothings should havo or ganized against the Methodist Episoopal Church South, or Southern Baplist Churoh, it would be more tolerable, and better to bis liking than it is; and se of the Presbyterian, Episcopalian, aud other ohurehes in the United States, who have never separated. This is mauling Protestantism with a vengeance; and in away not likely to be forgotten by those denominations who have already sacri ficed so much for the institution of slavery. We are not surprised at the terrible array of Northern aggressions made by the honorable gen tleman just at this juncture. We can easily pene t-ate the thin veil which hides the purpose from the public gaze. The object is to denationalize the party, to bo magnify a sectional question, as to lead the minds of the people from the great na tional object they have in view. The Know Noth ings, according to Mr. Stephens, must answer for all the sins of abolitionism, although tha State Conncil of New York has recently expelled a mem ber for having made an anti-slavery speech, (a bolder and nobler act than has ever been achieved by any political party of the country,)—and al tbough the Know Nothing Governor of Massachu- setts has retained Judge Loring in office despite the fanatioiam of the Legislature, and a salute of thirty one gqna have been fired on Boston Com mon in honor of the deed—and notwithstanding several leading abolition prints at Boston and oth er places, have changed their colors and become nationalised nnder Know Nothing influences, and Drs. Lord and Adams, twp of the famous three thousand, have acknowledged their error and written pro-slavery books. We would appeal to the common sense of the gentleman to know what better plan could be originated to kill off aboli tionism than tha formation of a great national brotherhood, engaged in fighting a common ene my, and pledged to the faithful support of thi Constitution and the Union. For curselves, we feel assured that it is the last hope of the country; that if the American patty is deieated, their ranks broken down, apd their hosts scattered, no power o! man oan save this Union. Let the foreign ele ment get complete ascendancy at the North, and slavery will not only ne kept out of the territories, to make roam for foreign serfs and paupers, but tha time will oome, ere long, whan onr own slaves will be considered very much in their way, and the cry will be heard ringing through these Southern lands, “Freemen for your homes and your firesides i” Where did the slavery agitation first begin?— Who were the first abolitionists of New England! Were they natives or foreigners ! The first and most prominent abolition lecturers who went u p and down the Northern States, preaching a cru sade against the rights of the South, were foreign ers, each ee Thompson, the ex Parliament man, Garrison, and .Fanny Wright. And yet the whole onus is thrown nponthe Natives, in this specious letter, as though everybody hsd forgotten the his tory of the times. It is well known that there is a deadly antagonism between the foreign and slave interests in this conntry. The great bulk of immi. grants have to settle in the free State*, because they cannot compete with slave labor at the Scnth. Os course the territories will be crowded with them, and any man with two ideas in his head, knows that their votes will be against ns ; and yet Mr Stephens is for flaoouraging this population to oome to onr country, and tries to make it appear that foreigners end Catholics do not interfere with the slavery question. It is singular enough that the very reason why Mr. S. dislikes the Know Nothings, via: that they persecute foreigners— -1 I Horace Greely, who is much better versed in their i I politics, naee against them at the North, but with ( • different inference, because by repelling foreign imigration, the territories will be sold to the South for the lack of this population. Mr. Stephens states that of the 8000 olergymen who petitioned Congress on the Kansas and Ne braska bills, not a single one was a Catholio; henoe they are the friends of the South—wonder ful indeed 1 Need we inform Mr. St or our read ers, that while Catholic priests would have con sidered it air indignity to recognise these petition ers as Christian ministers, by an affiliation or this kind, had they been asked to sign it, the petition ers could not consistently, with their own self respect, as protestent ministers, have recognized such an affiliation. The absenoe of the signatures then weighs nothing in this defence. The time is not come for Catholic interference in this matter. Whenever it does oome, it will be s unit. All over the length and breadth of this land, at the nod of an inquisitor journal, the vote will one day be cast, and it will be against the South, If for no better reason than to make room for their pauper emigration. We are now speaking in refereuc® to foreign Catholios, especially those who belong to the order of J esuits, or are controlled by them. * ready it is well known in certain quarters, that e foreign Catholie vote may be secured by a oan • *°, F . the Preß ‘dency by promising certain . *“ his * iJt ' Has Mr - Stephens never heard a Catholio came to be appointed a Cabinet o cer Has he never learned by what Jesuitical influences the foreigners under the present admin -ISI ration havo acquired a power and influence with the government, such as to make native Ameri cans tremble for the safety of the Republic! Can he tell how, in the different departments of the central government, there are«l4 foreigners hold ing offices against 510 natives! While among the Foreign Ministers, Consuls, Revenue Bervioe Of ficers, *o., there are but 764 Amerioans for 1,484 foreigners. While the Custom House Officers in tbe different ports, show only 216 Americans against 1,887 foreigners. We oannot vouch for these statistics, but presume they are correot, as they have not been contradioted. If the walls of sn old Conventicle in New York City could speak, they would tell how the bargain was made and the victory aohieved. And will Mr. Stepheus lend tho charm of hie potent name ana the forco ot his great intellect to each corrupt com binations as are at work to put down the Pro testant power in this oountry, aud elevate in its steed Papal authority, whose triumphal car iu every land has been tracked by the blood of inno cent victims. Will Mr. Stephens be found at the next election side by side with Bishop Hnghes and his motley crow, who are seeking a religious as cendency in this country, only that they may grasp the reins of government- And does he really be lieve that this clan is better to be trusted than Protestants and Native Amerioans—then we can not sustain him, although we have long been his admirers and supporters, nor can the American party sustain him, if true to what they deem the best interests of their country. But lot us have the use of history a little more in reference to Mr. Stephana’ beau ideal of an Ameri can Churoh. The two leading prinoiples of the Romish Church are Infallibility and Catholioity— tho same always—the same everywhere, and though we have not the space, yet we have tho data to prove, that dogmas once issued by the Pope are n ivor changed, and that all are required to be lieve them in every land. Their ablest apologist, Chari s Butler, tauntingly affirms, “it is most true that Roman Catholics believe the doctrines of their church to be nncheugeable; and it ia a tenet of their creed, that what their faith ever has been, such it new is, and such it ever will be. Now by the side of this lei us place the bull of Gregory IX, which, like overy other Papal bull, is binding upon the conscience of Roman Catholics throughout the world. “ There is only one name in the world, the Pope! He only can bestow the investitnre of Kings—all Princes ought to kiss his feet. No one can judge him; —his single election makes him a saint; —he has nnver erred; —he never will err. He can de pose Kings and absolve subjects from their alle giance." In a piece with this, read an extract from tbe oath, taken by every Roman Catholio Bißhop id this country. “I will be faithful and obedient to our Lord, the Lo d and Pope Pius IX, and to his successors. I will observe, with all my might, and canse to be observed by others, his spostolioal mandates.— Heretics, schismatics and rebels, to our said Lord, or his forosaid successors, I will, to my ntmoßt, perse cute and beat down ; aud I will humbly receive and diligsutly execute the apostolic commands. Bo help mo God 1 and these holy gospels of Go .” This is a part of the oath taken by the spiritual leaders of the Citholics of this country, and all kuow what power the eonfetsional has over the ignorant hordeß of foreigners orowding to our snores, who, under pain of eternal damna tion can be made to vote or act just as the Priest ordains: And yet, this is tho enuroh, and these aro the men better to be trusted than any other re ligions denomination in the United Btateß. Heaven forefend the time when men entertaining such opinions shall be the rulers of tbe land. Bnt admitting alt this to be true, as every man versed in ecclesiastical history is forced to do, where is the danger—why sound the tocsin until we see more immediate cause of alarm ? To th\B wo reply, that by reference to the last United States census reports of the births and deaths in this country, and contrasting the n With the influx of foreigners, there iB a greater increase of foreign than native vo«sa added kmmaliy to the elevtors of the land. The statistics show that for every 18 natives added to the population of this oountry wo have 20 foreigners, and'nearly all of them Catho lios. Thiß statement presents a much more alarm ing aspect, when we take into the aeoount tnat of uatives thus born, it tubes gi years for them to be come citizons, while the groat bulk of foreigners who oome to thiß country are not only males but of age, and admitted in a short period of time to the elective franchise. The rne origin of the Amerioan party was not in Massachusetts, the land of iemt, as Mr. Stephens would feign make na believe, but a little nearer home, and witn a people who have shown onr institutions a little more respeot than that onoe uoblo State has rocontly done. If, howovor, it should so tarn oat that it first saw the light in Boston, our only reply is—so did that American parly which organised in March 1778, against British and Foreign misrnle; and which, under tbe guise of Indians, demolished the tea in Boston harbor, and spreading clandestinely through the infant colonies finally sounded the alarm, emerged from tbeir hiding places and achieved for America that liberty which wo now enjoy. And while we aro as much opposed to the isme of the North as Mr. Stephens or any other man, we doubt much the policy of such sectional harangues and violent appeals to the passions of tho people, as iB contain ed in this letter, arraying one portion of the oonn try against another, anti engendering hate whioh must result in disruption. . In the oiose of his letter, Mr.j(tephenssingularly enough makos an appeal to the Whigs of the Yth and 8-h districts so wheel once more into line, al though it is addressed to a single individual, with doubt aa to its reaching the public ear. Does Mr. Stephens claim to belong to tbe National Whig party ! If so, his taunts against the Know Noth ings loose all their force. For ourselves w? no party appeals to make, for persoually we have no claims on the voters of the State, having never held nor aspired to office. We oome fresh from the people to make an humble offering at the shrine ot liberty; and ere onr oenaor shall be quite ezbausted, we would call upon the patriots and Christians who wish to perpetuate their free dom lo the latest posterity, to come to tha rescue. We call upon the children of tho Furltaus of the North and the Huganc.ta of the Boutb tiy the ro memborance cf the fires of Smitbfleld and the bloody St. Bartholemesw, to lay down for onoe, all sectional difficulties, (heeding not the cry of demagogues,) and rally to tifo Constitution and the Union. If indeed a ‘'sense of danger has struck the great heart of the Amerioan people” wo are safe, but if we listen to the lullaby of po litical aspirants and sleep unconscious of tbe danger surrounding us, the time will oome when the apostrophe of the poet who sung of Greece shall be true of America. “ Clime of His nus rgotten brave I Wnra - land from ptam lo mountain came Was freedom's home or glory’s grave I Shrine of the mighty 1 can it be, That this it ail remains of thee!” Sj-abta, May : 9th, 1855.

Manumission r,y Surras— Sodden Death or their Master, <V c .— Over a year sinoe Mr. Elijah Willis, of Williston, Barnwell District, South Carolina, came to this city and executed in the office of JolliS'e A Oitcbell a will, bequeathing to bis wife and her heirs and assignees all his property, real and personal, to the value of (160,000, consisting of two plantations well stocked, and from forty to fifty negroes. His wife, Mary Amy Turner, and children, six in nnmber, are mulattoes, and were held by Willis as slaves. Mr. Willis agreed with Messrs. A. H. Ernst, Edward Harwood, and John Joliffe, whom he m -do his executors, that they should be manumitted, and that the executors might dispose of the remainder of his slaves at his death as they deemed best. Mr. Hfiliis returned to his plantation. Yesterday morning be arrived from the South on the Jacob Btrader with his wife, her mother, and the six children. After securing a hack to convey the family up to the Dumas House, Mr. Willis with a daughter held by each hand approached the carriage, and was in the act ot stepping in wb*c he was seized with a palpita tion of the heart, tj which be was subject, and falling backwards, expired in about 4ve minutes. Coroner Menxies held an inquest over the body, ar.d the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facta. Mr. WillU waa about 60 years of age, a very respectable old gentleman, and has been merried to Mary Amy about thirteen years, and always manifested towards hsr and the children a warm affection. He has been in bad health several years, and his relatives, who reside in the Barnwell die trict, have frequently importuned him to give np bis business and travel with his family. He left home about four weeks ago, not, as they supposed to make said trip, hot to come to this State, free his family from slavery, and provide them with comfortable housee on free toil. Having done this, it was his intention to retnrn to South Caro lina, settlo up his affairs, and live the remainder of bis life free from all care and anxiety. Bad health for several years was an additional induce ment for him to punne thia coarse.— Oineinnati Gazette, May 22. Thx Dominican Troches.—A letter from Bt. Domingo to the New York San, bearing date April 2Tht, says that British and Frenoh ehipa of war, which were befora that city, left as goon as the conspirators, who had been pro tooted by the B it isb consul, obtained their passports, thus showing that their presence waa only to overawe the Do minican government in the matter of the refugee conspirators. A rumor prevailed to the effect that when the ships left they soiled to take possesion of the Bay of Bamsna, and so prevent it falling Into the hands of the United states. Every thing, ac cording to the correspondent of the Bun, goes to show tnatthe conspiracy which wssdisoovered and crushe I was stimulated and enconraged by the British and Frenoh, who are opposed to the pre sent Dominican rnler, Bantana, on account of his favoring the Udited Statea. In order to prevent annexation, they desire to see him outside, and the exiled rebel, Baez, installed in his place.

XIX.—NO. 22. Interesting from Japan. Terrible Earthquake in Siphon—Particulars of the lots of the Russian frigate Diana. We have already had intelligence of the great earthquake whioh occurred in the Island ot Ni pbon on the 28d of December, whereby the towns of Ghoeaca and Simoda were destroyed, and Jeddo mnoh injured, and the Russian frigate Diana lost. We find in tho Courier da Havre the following de tails of the latter event: As we have already informed our readers, an earthquake of the most violent kind has taken plaoe at Japan, and among other misfortunes has occasioned the loss ofthe Russian frigate Diana.— The American steamer Powhataa, which was in the Bame vicinity, and which saved many of the ship wreoked mariners, has prepared sn account of its voyage from J’pan to Shanghai, to which the Novelist, of Maraeillies has borrowed some details on the shipwreck of this Russian vessel. The frigate which was lost in the midst of this shocking catastrophe had on board the Vice Ad miral Futiatan, engaged at the time in completing tho treaty betweou Russia aud Japan. She was al anchor in the port of Simoda. From tho moment of the first Bhock of eatthquake tho sea exhibited each a movement of eddying and whirling, that in less than thirty minutes the ship pirouetted round herself more than forty times, snapping and twist ing all the chains bolding her. Tho motion was so rapid that no one on board oould keep bis legs and all wero soizod with virtigo. Whou ihe sea retired, the frigate, whioh drew twenty-ouo feet of water, was left in eight feot water only. On its return the sea rose to the height of five fathoms above its ordinary level, and in again retiring it left the irigate iu less than lour feet of wator, ao that tho anchor stocks wore visible. The agitation of the bottom of the sea was so great at tho time, that tho Diana, though, in four foot water, was borne to a great distance. Tho offioora believed that the port was about to become tho mouth of a submarine volcano ready to engnlf them. When the trigate next found herself afloat it was perceived that she was filling, nud that tho keel and the rudder had been torn away, and were floating alongside. By passing sails under the ship they succeeded in Keeping her afloat, and on the next day, tho saa having become culm, they brought tho Irigate into deeper water. Some shocks wero again felt, but they wore not attended by any serious consequences. Alter having repaired damages as well as they oould, and constructed a temporary rudder, the woathor being fine again, they attempted to bring the frigate into a bay less exposed, and where they might more easily complete repairs. But when they wore at a distance of seven miles frornßi moda, a tempest blew up. The Japanese boats, to the number of over a hundred, which wero tow ing the Diaua, abandoned her, alter having, how ever, taken iu all hor cflieofs and orew; and short ly after the ship woe swallowod np in tho sea. It must be romarked, soys the Novelist, that the Diaua, whiuh was pursuing tho Napoleon 111., was perfectly disposed to disregard tho neutrality ot the port whore tho latter ship was lying, uud to capture her even iu those neutral waters if she could. The French vosaol, however, thanks to tho rapid mamauvres of her captain, Lopez, had set sail and departed from Bimoda twelve hours before the arrival of the Russian ship. The city of Bi moda has been so overthrown, that hardly a traco of its streets is distinguishable. The following is from an officer on board tho Powhatan, dated “Powhattan, March 2, 1855, I Off the mouth ot the Yang taze-kiang. ) “We sailed from Simoda a woek ago last Tours day, expoctiui; a run of about Uvd days to Shang hai, but wo had scarcely got out of the harbor be fore we encountered a hoavy gale of wind, which required a large expenditure of coul to enable us to breast it, without making any headway ; but, on thecoutrary, rather losiug ground. This had scarcely subsided when we had another galo more severe than the first, which lasted much longer, and after that subsided, wo had Btfll snothor di rectly in cur teeth, which seemed to combine in itself the severity of both the previous ones. 1 never before have experienced unylhingtooom pare with it at sea. Being short of coal, tho Bhip could not be plu :ed in the most favorable position for weathering tho gules, as the captain thought it nooessary that he should forco her uguinst it all ho could, so that he might make his fuel last to got the ship into port when the gale abated. By the greatesi good luck, wo have managed to avoid tho necessity of taking off our paddles, aud beating up under sail. “The exchange of the ratifications of tho treaty between the Uuited States aud Japan wus made on the 21st day of February, and tho sailed on the22d. “The Island of Niphon, in which Simoda is sit uated, wus visited, on the 28d December, by u severe earthquake, whioh was most disastrous in its effects. The city ot Ohosaca, one of the largest in the empire, was completely laid waste. Jeddo itself suffered considerably, but has since suffored more seriously from the effects of an extensive conflagration. The town of Simoda, on our arri val, presented a complete sence of desolation and min. After tho shock of the earthquake, tho Boa commeneed bubbling up as il were, along the shore and then receded with great rapidity, und as soou returned with such increased volume os to fl.od tho whole towu to the depth of six or soveu fool swooping away houßos, bridges, and temples, and piling them up in a mass of ruin. “Five times during tho day did tho sea ad venue and recede in this mauuor, spreading desolation far and wido. The largost junks in this harbor were driven from ouetotwo miles above high wa ter mark whore we saw them lying high and dry. About 200 of the poor inhabilunla lobl their livos by the overflow, the remainder saving themsolvos by fleeing to tho mountains with which tho town, is surrounded. “Tho Russian frigate Diana, having Vico Admi ral Poutiatiuo on board, was lining ip tho harbor at the time, engaged in finishing up the treaty they had rnad.o with the Japanese. Immediately alter the shock was felt, the water in the harbor be came convulsed to scull a. -.lacraM In ' mW>W TO|S whirlpools, that in the space of tlurtytifhutes she swung entirely rqund forty three tim -B, twisting her chains np into knots ; so rapid was the motion that tho people on board contd not keep their feot, and all wero mado giddy. When tho sea receded, it left tbe frigete iu eight feet water on her aide, when her usual draft was over twenty oue fool. On its return, it is stated, the wulcr roso five fath oms above its ordiuery level. “Oa Ru again receding, four feet only of wator remained, ao that they saw the slocks of their uu chor above the wator. 7he heaving of tho bottom of the bay was then so violent that the frigate— although, as I said, in only four feet of water— was moved bodily pa - t hor anchor. Tho officers momentarily expected that the bay would become the oulot of the subterranean fires, and that they would be ongulphcd in it. When the frigate again floated they saw hor kool and rudder, which had been wronchod off, floating alongside, and the ship filling with wator. By getting sails under hor they managed to koop hor afioat, und the next day, things having got quiot once more, they huuld hor off into deeper water. Occasional shocks ot earth quake still continued to be felt, but none wero at tended with serious cousequonoos. After repairing damages us well as th/ y could, and having rigged a temporary ruddor, ami tho weather beoomiDg fine, they attempted to lake the ships round to auother bay, where she would bo less exposed, and they could complelote ropairs, Bimodn being badly adapted for such a purpose;) int, when within seven miles of their harbor, a gale sprang up, the hundred Japanese bouts that were towing thorn abandoned them, (not, how ever till they had got out qil the officers and orew,) and shortly after the gallant ship sunk iu deep water, tha officers and men saving only the clothes tfiey stood in. Notwithstanding all their misfor tunes, and the dangers through whioh tboy had passed, they only tost one man, Bnd he was acci dentally killed by being jammed by one of the guns which had been adrift. guns wmen naa ueen aurirt. From \h* Correspondence of the London News. CUaa. Boh# Kon*. March 15. The events of tho month o apsed since the dato of the departure of the last mail steamer are more marked by stirring events than for many months previously. On tbe 12th inst. Sir John Bowring took bis de Sarture on a diplomatic visit lo Siam, in hor lajesty’s steamer Battler, accompanied by tho sloop ol war Greeian. It is said that his excoliency will go to Singapore from Siam, and return to this port by one of ths Peninsular and Oriental Com pany’s steamers, the Rattler sailing for England. In China there is generally a strong feeling against Sir J. Bowring—all classes express disappointment and hostility to the measure of the literary diplo matist, and desire bis recall. Indeod, the busy tongue of rumor asserts that Sir John's recal is in his pocket, and that he will proceed from Siam to Singapore, and from tbe latter place to Europe. Otsuch elements are the commnnity here oom posed, that there is probably no man In England, however popular, that wonld provo a favorite iu China with the mercantile community, unless he was disposed to bo led by the commercial udvant ages ol those resident in Chins, to the prejudice of any and every other interest. Every plenipoten tiary from Elliot to Bowring, has split upon tho same rock, and even an angel would tail to please or realise tbe unreasonable expectations of every elass of the foreign residents. Affairs at Canton look more settled; for the time, at all events, the rebels hava been driven away Irom the city. The blockade has been put a stop to; and by a combined movement ol the imperial soldiers snd the people, Canton and the forts in its neighborhood havebeen freed from the terror spreading horrors of the insurgents. On the 6th met. the rebels at Blonheim Reach were taken by surprise, fled precipitately in boats down the river, and for the most part escaped, the im perialists befog but too well pleased to regain possession of the city. The other strongholds of insurgents also fell into the hands of th.« imperialists, who are reported to have effected their object by buying up the ringleaders. Tha imperialists have made a shocking use of their triumph. Tbe place ot execution has been a vast carnage field, where hundreds have daily been put to death, iu tbe hope ot striking terror into the minds of the popula tion. P t Shanghai,also,the imperialists hove succeeded Id recapturing the city, followed by frightful atro cities in revenge for opposing tbe imperial role. Beyond tbe mere fact, ol tbe capture of tbe city, little more is known with certainty, the accounts being very conflicting. All accounts agree in rep resenting tbe fool atrocities committed by tbe Mandarins. Nearly five hundred prisoners have been pot to death, and some were tortured in the moat frightful manner before being pnt ontof the way. Borne of tbe rebel chiefs have succeeded in eeciping, but by far the greater number of tbe ring-leaders have found themselves in tbe bands of their unrelenting onemies.

House rents in New York city, tbe papers inform us, have decidedly a downward tendency.

Mclntosh himsolh It is dalod “Savannah in Georgia. 80lh May, 1777.” In it is the following paragraph : Ever siuoo Mr. Gwinnott was disappointed iu tho Brigadier General’s Commission, himself and party seemed to loose sight of overy thing else, than [except] to render the ailny obnoxious, aud o.eate the utmost confusion and disordwr iu it; whsrofU they med tho ntmo3t art, invention and industry, on every occasion ; aud when they found themselves every way disappoint* d, by my cir cumspection aud caution, they fell to personal abuse, slanderous and false insinuations and as sertions, to my prejudice; knowing my declared aversion, from principle, to private quurrols and duelling, until, at length, my best friends wero astonished at my forbearauce; aud my enemies construed [it] into a meauing, [i. e. cowardice,] wnioh made them prompt the uiuortunato uiun to his own destruction, though it wus inteuded to bring me into this dilemma : If I refused the ohal. ienge, on any pretence, they would imme lately ory out, ‘how unworthy he is to hold his commis sion I”—although 1 have, on all occasions, exposed myself more than any soldier under my oommaud, indofonco of thoßtato, which that vory junto oen acknowledged! And, if I aocoptod it aud tell, they would got rid of ono who, ut all times, ex posed publicly their designs against tho freedom, peace and ordor of tho Btate; or, havo uu oppor tunity of pitiguoing me if that Bhould bo the i'ato of my antagonist. This letter onclosod the two certificates. TUq first is from Col. Habersham, and is as follows ; “Joseph Haborsham, Ac., saith: That on Thurs day night, the 15ih Muy lust, General Mclntosh showed tho deponent a written challenge, signed Button Gwinnett, wherein tho General was charg ed with calling Mr. G. a scoundrel iu public con vention, and required to give satisfaction for it as a gentleman, boioro sunrise noxt morning, iu Sir James Wright’s pasture, behind Col. Murtin’s house. To which tho General sent an answer to Mr. G. that he would assuredly n eet him at tho time and place appointed, with a pair of pistols only, as agreed upon by Mr. G. a second, who brought the challenge. Tho Gonorul and his second waited about fifteen minutOß on tho ground the next morning boioro Mr. G. with hiß secoud, appeared, aud when they •came up, politely saluted each other on both sides. The General thou drew his pistol to show [that] he was loaded only with single balls, but avoided eutoriug into auy other conversation than tho bu siness on hand, &c. The rest as the other affi davit.” The otl er affidavit is defective—but only in tho more formula of tho legul introduction. It begins abruptly—no person being named—nnd is, to doubt tho statement of Gwinnett’s second. ” and naith, that luto on tho uvonint; of Thursday, tho 15th May, instant, a writtou longo waa brought to Gun. Mclntosh, sig,noii But ton Gwinnett; wherein the Bald Button Gwinnett charged the General with calling him a scoundrel in public convention, and doairod ho would give satisfaction lor it aH a gentleman, before sunrise next morning, in Bir Jatnoa Wright’s puHturo. be hind Col.

It was then proposed and agreed to, that thoy should go a little lower down the hill, as a number of spectators appeared, and when tho ground was chosen, the seconds asked the distance. Mr. G replied “Whatever distance tho General pleases n The General said ho believed eight, nine or ten feet would bo sufficient, and three stops were immediately measured, to which the General’s second desired [that j another stoD might be added.
