THE VIFXIfA COXFEBBSICEH.
The Tiaies ha - , tha fallow ng *utntnary
of the proceedings of the Viecna Coniereiice, ue
preeetited to Farltsmeat: —
The papers relating to the negotiation at Vienna
on tl.e Lastern qaentioc which were presented to
the British P*rl lament, are cod fined ta the official
protocol*; and memoranda of these celebrated co ti
le re aces ; bat these papers contain a fall and au
thenuc record of the propositions made by the
several powers on thie occasion, of the argument*
by which they were supported and opposed, and
of the subterfuges by which they were eventually
defeated. We at once assert that it is impossible
to rise Irom the perusal of the%e documents with
out a conviction that the Russian ministers were
throughout playing a dishonest game, that the
acce v tance of the four points by Russia was a m :re
pretence, and that the counter proposition which
was at last made on behalf of the cabinet ot Bt.
Petersburg was positively insulting to the other
powers ci Europe from its absurdity. These
opinions, expressed in more courtly and reserved
lmguuge, are the same with which Count Buoi
terminated the proceedings of the Conference.
Without, however, entering at preeent upon afuii
discust ion of lbe;>e proposals, we shall first put
oar readers in posses ion of a summary of toe
transactions as they occurred.
The conference was opened at Vienna on the
15th of March by a speech from Count Buoi, who
was unanimously placed in the chair. This ad
dress was en exhortation to peaceful usd conc'dia-
U ry sentiments among the plenipotentiaries; but
i. contained the important declaration that “the
Emperor of Austria had made up his mind on the
iudLpon.'ible condition* ot peace, and that noth
in/—ao.t even the nosi serious
i pre /ont his tatjosty" from scrupulously ad*
boring to the engagement which he had contracted
wiih his allies.” These conditions are the well
kno -'n four points, which ha 1 been oommuuica
ted to the Russian Envoy, who declared that he
adhered to all the principles laid down, (including
the putting au end to the Italian preponderance
m tuo Biacabea,) and was ready to adopt them as
a point ot departure for the negotiations. This
definition was agreed to by France and England,
who remarked that ti'ObO principles 4 wero to be re
gar led as beyond dieoutsiou, and that’he app i
cation of them alone iemuined to be determine '.
The order of tne discussion was then tire 1 to
take—l, the Danubian principalities; 2 tlie N ivi
gallop of the Danube; 8, the limit&tipu of the
power of Russia in the Black Sea; and 4, tho
status ot thcJJhrislian subjects of the Rope.
Tho Russian ministers (after au ineffectual at
tempi to obtain the admission of Prussia to tho
Conference) consented to the complete and per
manent abrogation of tho troaties formerly exist
ing on the subject of the principalities between
Russia and Turkey; and the future condition of
those provinces wun to be settled by a solemn act
of the Porto, providing tor the maintenance of all
the privileges and liberties of the Moldo Walla
chains and the Servians, under the amicable sanc
tion of the Great Powers. All exclusive protection
was to be abolished, and the Russian plenipoten
tiaries showed a singular but laudable zeui that the
iranchises of the people in these provinces should
in no wise be a ridged. The definite arrange
ment of a scheme for the administration cf tho
principalities was referred to a commiiteo, which
was to wait for further instructions from Constan
tinople.
The question of the Danube navigation was in
like manner settled without much cLfficnlty. R s
siu protested that she had nover contested or op
posed the commercial freedom ot the river, and 1
that the obstacles which had arisen proceeded from
natural causes only; to which remark Buron Pro
kescb dryly replied that althcagh he in no respect
questioned the good ini jniions of the Russian gov- |
ornmeut on this subject, it unfortunately happen
ed that the result wore inconiestibly at variance ]
with h* r profession, ihe arrangement eventually
agreed upon, provided that tho principles estab '
lisbed in 1815 with reference to the other naviga
ble rivers ot Europe should be applied to the Dan- *
übe nd guaranteed by all the powers, arid that a '
commission of all the Great Powers should bo ap- 1
pointed to Lke ad tho necessary steps for opening k
und protecting the free navigation of the river.—
Russia agreed not to re establish her quarantine
on the Suliuu mouth, and that no fortification
should be erected between the channels of Sulina !
•ud St. George. 1
On the 26th of March tho plenipotentiaries ar
rived at the discussion of the third point, upon !
which Count Baol proposed that the ministers of 1
Russia and of Turkey should in the fir.-d instance *
be requested to statp respectively to tho Confer 1
ence tho means b> which they proposed to give k
effect to his get eral stipulation. This courteous 1
proposition w a assented to by France and Fug- ’
land, but declined by Prince Gortacbakiff, who
stated that he was not in a condition to take tho *:
course suggested by Count Buoi, and an adjour- \
mont was theu agree < upon for the purpose of al
lowing time for Ali Pasha to arrive from Conslan- 1
tinoplo, M. Drouyn, de L*Huys from Paris, and
further instructions from St. Petersburg. Aus- 1
tria urged the expediency of proceeding in ‘this (
interval of t;mo to this discussion of the fourth fc
point, and Russia strongly supported this opinion 1
but tho French and English envoys were ordered 1
by their respective governments to abstain front J
discussing the lost point until tfie third had been '
settled.
On the 17th of April, after an interruption of
18 daye, the Conference resumed, in order to loam
the result of the reference to Si. Petersburg —-i
Prinoe Gortsohakoff at once declined to accept the®
offer made to him at the former meeting, and to
originate any proposal} but ho added, that Russia
was prepared to Dike into serious consideration
anv means that might be proposed, provided
they wore not of a nature to infringe on the rights
of soveriguty efthe Emperor ol Russia in his own
dominions. Upon this announcement, M. Drotiyn
do L’Buy# (who was now present) expressed his
regret that, after 18 days’ delay, the Russian plen
ipotentiaries bad no better communication to make
to this Conference; he therefore proposed that the
allied powers should immediately meet to agree
upon a proposition; and he ended by asking
whether Russia wood consider her rights of sove
reignty infringed if she deprived herself of the
•liberty ot building an unlimited number of ships
of war the B ack Sea?
To this home question Prince Gortschakoff re
plied that Russia would not consent to the
strength of her navy being restricted to any fixed'
number, either bv treaty or any other means. As
this declaration virtually settled the main queatiob,
and terminated the negotiation in a few days, it
is needless for us in this place to pursue the argu
ments which were adduced for and against the
principle of limitation, although they well deserve
an attentive consideration. Jt ißof moro immediate
interest to observe tfco conduct of Russia to tbq
end of the transaction.
In addition to the pessatioi} oft© ÜbV#! prepon
derance of Russia in the Black &oa, the third point
was to provide for a oloser connection between the
Ottoman empire and the general system of Europe.
To effect this arrangement a clause was drawn up
by M. Drouyn de L’Huys, which bound all the
powers to respect, the independence and terri
Lorial integrity of the Ottoman empire, and.to guar
antee in common the strict observance of this en
gagement.
On this point Prinoe at wiU.e in
fused to attach to thiag*4a»aatoe tile signification of
» p>ositive or active guarantee to the Turkish terri
tories—a most significant proof of the real spirit
in which the Russians engaged in these negotia
tions. Pressed, however, at last to explain more
fully the views of the Court of Bt. Petersburg.
since it had already re 4 mentis tftopoegd
foi the «ua»nrnout of i'he third point,
ebakoff rtftd a paper on the 2lst of April to the
Conference, in which ho attempted to show that
Tu»koy was exposed to co danger from the naval
torces of Russia, and ended by declaring tout Rus
sia w aid not object to a revnj '£ Os Utq Wenfy of
IS4I for ;he purpos** 6i’ Opening to the military
hags of all uat : ons the passage of the Bosphor s
and Dardanelles. That is literally the euly con
cession which Russia announced her intention o
make on this sui jec*—a concession, indeed. cja;a
at the expense of Turkey «cth«f ta*u at ner cw ; .
R wipi owed cy another suggestion, of closi: g
the btraitaat the pfe.sure of the Porte; bn*. th« e
sohemes were so obviously worthless ar.d impn *
ticable that nothing remained for the British a- i
French plenipotentiaries but to refuse to disco s
them, aud to declare that their jad inatri
ticus e*h«u«iivvi, Tno Russian envoy, never
theicbs, oooiiDued to insist with extraordinary i
pndence that Le had redeemed the pledge of I
government bj making sovoral propositions for ti .i
solution of the difficulty; but the onhr value
these oronositioui irt in the eyes
horepv, is the aemoiifctration they coutain tl •
Russia will not, until she be compelled, consent *. 1
give any guarantee for the territorial
of Turkey, the breach of which would coustitu
an immeiiato c<itui belli betwaon beirelt ad: \
the othor Great Powtrs; and that Bassis vt:
maintain as lone aa sho i* physically ab 0 to do s ,
taut aggressive position in the Black Sea which ha s
been tne sole cause of the present war.
Count Buol ter mi rated the .onference, as he
had opened it, bv dcc’aring that, in tha opinion
of the Court of Y the pian prcp r aed by M.
Drouyn de L’Jiuys, aud rejected by Russia, was
complete and effectual, but that the counter pro
positions of Busida were not so, and could not be
considered as embodying principles ptopar 10 be
intTMducod iniu a uoiupTeta and general system of
policy. Those wo»ds leave no doubt as to the
cause of the failure of the negotiation, and throw
the whole burden cf the fresh rupture on the Rus
sian Cabinet thd uhiei value of this
transaction id that it had laid bare and demonstra
ted iu the face of Europe, the insolent and aggres
sive character of the eDemy we have opposed to
us, and shows that if tbo allied powers are resolv
ed to avert the and evils wniah the predon
deranoe of Bosnia threatens to infiiot on Europe,
they can only obtain the result by the successful
and united prosecution of the war.
Fxan««.—With reference to the withdrawal of
M. Proayn de L’Hays, irom the French Cabinet,
we take the following from the Paris correspond
enee of the London Times :
It ia not strange that a more than ordinary sen
sation should follow suoh an announcement, wb«Q
we remomber the prom seut pan taken by M.
Drocyn de L’tiuye in the important questions
»hich have kept Europe in agitation and anxiety
for the last two years. It is ail the more to be re
gre ted, as even by the admission of tbo»e who
ware and are opposed to the loreign policy of
the government, the minister certainly has disp.ay
ed ta.ents of a high order. The cause of his ex, «-c -
ed withdrawal from the cabinet is said to be a seri
ous difft-renoe of opinion between him and the Em
peror on the t ropooitions *of peace lately aabmit
ted to Erg and aul Franee by Anstna, with tne
view ot being eventually proposed to Russia.
These conditions, we are informed, M. Drouyn
de L’Haya oonsidered aooepuole, and, moreover,
declared before leaving Tienaa, that he should
succeed in bringing over tte Emperor to his opin
ion. In tnia hope he has been disappointed, as
the Emperor not onlylocks upon them as inad
missible, but appears determined not to listen
again to any similar propoaitioLa for peace emana
ting from Austria. Each a determination it ia
said, is shared by the English government, and it
is, no doubt, founded on tte ooov.ctions of the in
sincerity of that power, and the difficulty, if not
the impossibility of indnoii g her to assume even
at this iate hoars policy more becoming her rack,
and more consonant to her engagements. On the
whole, the Emperor ; a aaid to oe far trom satisfied
with the conduct of the late negotiations at Vienna.
He thicks that the Plenipotentiaries have been too
condescending and It?a allowed themselves to be,
as it were, oajvied by r>uoi,And the reoepticn
.of the French M mater on his return to Paris is
now said to have beco cold.
The Times editorially eays :
We do cot however, suppose that this dispute
is the sole, or even the principal cause, of the re
signaiion ot the Foreign Minister ol France at so
important a crisis. In speaking of M. Drouyn de
L'Huya’ visit to London, before he preceded to
join the Conference at Vienna, we remarked that
on his arrival hare he was disposed to lake a lower
tene than the British Cab’nei ware disposed to
adopt, although he subsequently assented to all
the views entertained by oar o*n Go-eminent.
As long as Lord John Kassel! remained a 1 Vienna
this harmony ooounoed unbroken; but in the
ooiraa of two or three daye subsequent to the de-*
I' par*-re*of the B iiieh Pi mpotentiary M. D ouvn
de L’Haya appearjto have discussed and arranged
wita Count Buoi a proposition of terms of peace
widely d fferent from that on which the allied
1 courts Lad previcaajy agreed. This scheme, wbat
' ever it may he, was UGUe-iiatingly rejec.ed by the
head of the French Goveri n.eut ss soon as it was
made in Pari?, and the British Government were
equa’ly satisfied that no honorab e peace could be
concluded on soch a basis, for tfce effect of this
C' udition waa barely to limit the naval strength of
Russia in the Bit ok Sea to the force she already
porsessed before the outbreak of the t'fesent
hostilities. M. Drouyn L ? Huys appears to
have thought that peace might oe procured on
iLeeeterm*; but, aa this was not tne opinioo o;
the Government which he served, or of the allied
Government with which he was acting, this differ
ence of policy led to hia retirement from office oj
tho termination of bis Vienna commission.
Rcseia —A special ccmmiaeion has been institu
ted at tot. Peter-burg by the Emperor Alexander,
to consider all matter relating to the eastern ques
tion. It i» composed of tho grand duke Constan
tine, M. Nesselrode, Count Orloff, M. Kisseleff,
Count Biaiiod and Prmue Dolgourouki. The war
par’y has a majority in the commission.
A letter from Warsaw n tsoener’s Gazette of
Berlin, state - that t e Emperor A exm der is be
tore long to visit Holland. Great fetes are to oele
brat, bis majesty’s stay. The Poles a;e in b pes
.0 obtain a confutation from the Emperor. They
may ob.ai.i, it is thought, some concessions.

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.
Journal oi uie sirg«—Tne Mouibartment.
Fourth Division Camp, April 21.—Our tiring has
now Oeoii induced liii luflLer orders to 8d rcunds
per gun, and the bomo rdmeut is nearly suspen
ded, partiy liom want of fuses and purity irom
coßsideralioi s of a mililarv character which have
weight in the councils of our Generals. The
French still continue to cannonade with energy,
an<l to push on their saps on the extreme rixhi
and left of our position with vigor and considera
ble auocjss; audit has been satisfactorily aecer-
Uiii«s4 ib> t the Russ . tns nave a very insignificant
force at Tchorgouu, though their p' sition is ex
tremely strong, ana is immediately connected with
tl at fceid by tne army on the heights between the
BUbck and the ichernaya. Me have still two
battelu> > which have not yet opened lire. There
is no such thiug to be talked oi ab taking the field
against the army covering Sevastopol. Any oper
uu ,ls uguiusL tnat army most be commenced by
torch g a auiies of of iutrenebments, oi
fortified camps placed on the ridges ot ravines or
elevated mounds, and in mountain passes.
The town itself is as open to us externally os
over it was uny time uficr the 17th of October, but
inside the lines of ruobish uu l ruins created by
our guns, am.d bign bouses and in spacious,
thougn tortuous streets, the Russians huve erected
earthworks pierced for guns, which are, no doubt,
ready to be put in position at a mu meat’s notice.
As to the question oi assault, it pozzies be ter strat
egists thuu most of our officers profess to bd, to
say whethc it would bo advisable or not. Some
say we could “go in’* to-uurrow if the order was ,
given, others that an asauu ! t would bo madness,
and that, though wo might got in, we could not be
able to hold our Ovving to Ibe fire ol the
ships and oi the northeru lorls. Cot tain it is that
the men would prefer Lbs storm to one night’s
work in the trenches. Tho weather is fine. There t
have been, I regret to say, however, several
not only of fever, but Os cholera. The terrible
disease appeared on board the Diamond, and j
hospital gungrene has aso broken out in the same (
vessel.
Friday.—Last night, a vory gallant and brilliant
litilo leat ot arms, attended, I regret to tay, bj
severe loss, was porlormad by the 77th regiment
in front of our right attack. There is nothiug
more remarkable in the active operations ot this
siege than the importance of the part played by the
sharp shooters placed in those rifle pita which
huvo been dug by Iho enemy, and which were
constructed with groat skill and daring, and have
i>een defended with vigor and resolution. Sir
John Burgoyne, in hia exael'ont memorandum on
the duties ol riflemen during the present siege,
adverts to their services at the sieges iu the Peniu
sul&r War, but I am not aware that they were bo
extensively or effectively employed as they have
been £nd aro before Sevastopol. The pits now
constructed are complete little batteries for rifle
men, and the Are from one woll established with
in GoO or 7uo yards 01 a beattery of ordnance, is
suiiicient to silence the guns and keep the gunners
from going near the embrasures. In front of the
Kcdan, opposite our ngnt attack, the liassian* os
lablished some capacious pits, irom which they
annoyed us considerably, pailicularly from the two
ucarest to us on the left hand side.
Bound shot and shell had several times forced
the Kussians to boit across the open ground to
their lotteries, bat at night they repaired damages
aud were back again as busy us ever in the mor
nii g. (jar advanced battery would have been
greatly imrrassed by tide Are when it opened, and
it was resolved to tuko the two pits, to hold that
which was most tenable, and to destroy the other.
That servico was effected lost night. About eight
o’clock the party of the 77th, under Lieut. Colonel
Eg* rton, supported by a wing of the 88d under
Lieut. Col. Mundy, moved down the traverses
towards the rifle pits. Tho night was dark and
windy, but the Russian sentries perceived the ap
proacn of our men, and a brisk Are was at once
opened on »hem by the enemy, to which the troops
scarcely replied, for tiring a terrible volley they
rushed upon the enemy wij-h tho buyopet, and
aftor a short bnt desperate struggle drove them
out ol the pip; ana up the slope behind them.—
Once in tbe pits, the engineers, officers, and the
sappers and inir ers set to work to strong,hen tho
defences, and threw up a gabionnade in front, and
with great coolness and oourage, proceeded to
connect the trench of the nearest of the rifle pits
with our adva e#d h 3 p. ■ The enemy pened an .
exceedingly heavy tire of rouud, grape, and shell
upon them, and the Russian sharp-shooters from
tbo parapets of tho batteries and from tho broken
ground behind the abattia kept up a very severe
fusillade ; bnt ?no working party continued at
tbeir w'wk in defiance of the storm of shot which
tore over them. In such a contest a * this, it could
not but bo expected that our loss wotild ba consid
erable,
Oar men remained in possession of the larger
of the pits under the trying circumstances I have
mentioned without any decided attempt being
made to turn them out. Tho general of the day of
the right attack telegraphed to head quarters that
our troops had gained the pits, and he received di
rections in roply from Major General J cues to keep
them at all hazards At 2 o’clock in tho morning
a strong column of Russians, certainly double the
strength ofonr men, advanced against the pits,
aud I t© combat was reuowtd. The English troops
fought with “tho immovable solidity” for which,
in the opiuiou of our allies they aro so celebrated.
The enemy charged them with tho bayonet, but
they were met. by courage mo:o cool and by arms
more norvons than their owu, and by the bayonet
they were thrust baok again ami again, and at its
poiut they were driven up so tapir batteries once
Lore. It war. while apttihg an example of conep;
c,'.ops bravery to his nan that Coonel Egertou fell
mortally wenaed. The rifle pit is now in oar
hands, and a smart tiro is kept up from it. Its fire
is most serviceable, not only against tho embra
sures ot tho Redan, out in reducing and disturbing
tho fire ot tho Russian rifle pits ou ite flank. Lieu
tenant Color.cl Mui.dy, 88d Regiment, is at present
in command ot the party in the pit. The Redan is
scarcely abi.*—or, at least,seems v me*m*
ing by tho Redan the m>p fire a
shot. The hepopd rifle pit we could not bold, bnt
n* uouiflfU will be takon—to-n!gbt.
Heavy Lowrs.—The French aro said to
lese nearly 100 men every night; in fact, their en
gineer officers are reported to say thev
got too dose to the town t tat *tfb£ can
scarcely imw that can be if sapping
♦umiuft be of use in Solges, or why our allies
have fought so hard aud undergone so much labor
to i* flicta positive disadvantage upon themselves.
The Rossiuns inside the Fiagnt&ff
baudgreDade* into the «ud show some
ingenuity in cottar ii*qf notfles and vessels ot vari
c.-js fliaOß Ifltb extemporary shells. The French
s*y they can tafie ihe bastion at any time they
please, but the Russians have repaired their works,
and there is a formidable line of batteries hssidi
the broken parapets and shattered i*i*jvun&de6 of
the Flarets*,
The ?rc** v b .'avo suffered severely, bnt our gal
laut-ftUiea have pushed it ou nnder every difficul
ty, and our own works on the right have also
considerably advanced.
April 17.—1 f the larjjaag* addressed to his offi
cers by (le»9rsi <.'-»mooert on Toursdsy is to be
tele,. as the announcement of oor future str&te
getical policy before Sevastopol, it is certain th it
no very decisive blow will be struck against t)te
place and the armies which defend it until the al
lies shall have been ' by some 70,000, or
80,000 French tioofus, of whom we are told there
are aireauy Bb,COO at Constantinople oh their way to
the Crimea, as the avam gard* of the second great
army that France has pou edfrom her sfcor;" to
take pa: tin this great contes . W ban Viieao new
!• reach come where tj? 1 ,1 they be stowod awat?—
The Chooser.use is alrnoet ar full as it can hold.—
There is ready no room tor more men except on
the stony hula botween Karanji and St. George,
which are far removed from active operation. To
place men in such a position would b« to deprive
the allies of all ad van I age irom their presence. A
French ioiueof the magnitude promised by Gen
eral Canrobert is amply sufficient to win another
Aima, or to immortalize by new victories the
name of the Kstcha or the Btlisi.
It is one ot the tkisfortunes of our isolated posi
tion that we caonot move oat to ascertain the exact
natureof the ornfiostions thrown up by the enemy
on the north and eastern faces of the place, or along
the banks of the Batch* and of the Belbek. The
banks of the taller river are nnder the command
of the guns in the northern forts, but it is not
known, I think, whether the south bank is fortified
higher up the river, so as to enable the Generals
to decide that an army would be justified in de
serting the sea and making a match to the east
ward, to force its way through the Hussian columns
and cut off the communication ot Buvastcpoi with
Simpheropol, Bakahiseral, and the rest of the
Crimea. The cavairy cannot reconnoitre in a
country which Is all l : ke the mountainous parts
of Derbyshire, or like the Dargle in the county of
Wicklow, on a gigantic scale. The Tchernays is
like an Alpine torrent after ton aaoecd its coarse
between tne hills which spring from the plain of
B-lakD.va, and ail the heights over to it are cover
ed with earthworks, and the approaches to them
scarped, and unaer the fire of redouble and en
treo 'hmeuts. On a plateau on the norm side of
the Worm zoff read the Russians have thrown up
a most scientifically constructed and extensive en
trenchment, into which they oan pour an army
from the heights above at the least alarm of any
movement. This work w»s constructed by Li
prandi’s army, bat if has been recently enlarged
and renewed, and it is now capable of being made
into a very tormidable entrenaued oamp, the ap
proaches to it being commanded by redoubts.
Tchorgoun lies below this great work to the
ca-t wardend southward,-and it is near this village
that the only sab, roide for the pa-sage of t oops
can be found in the Tchernaya- Xt ia not possible
to turn this position. If a lores were larded at
any point along tl e coa-tto the east of B-laklava
and to the ws»i of Tabs, they would find them
selves in an Alpine country, with only one road
wincing along the ravines, and that, in all proba
bility, scarped. This one road would bring them
ont near B aklava, south ot the Tenernaya, and
with the precipices over Tchorgoun and Macken
zie’s Farm atiil before them, it was not in oar
power, owing to me deficiency of oar torces, to
prevent the erecUeu of these works during the
w.nter, and the miserable state ot our cavalry did
uot permit the Generals making even the ordinary
rtoonnoissances and observations, which are con
sidered almost e-sentisl to the very existence of an
, Xa *h probability Kamara,ana the old line
or Turkish redoubt-, will be occupied by a portico
of any additional force which may srriveat the
scuth side of Sevastopol ; and we could thence
operate against the Kuseian entrenchments, and
prepare to cover Ue passage ot the Tchernaya in
the event of any movtmentio effect a junction wita
the allied troops marching from tne north, or
forcing their way through the centre of the Rus
sians, which must necessarily be very weak.
At preaeot tte Russians on t _e north side cf the
Tchernaya are saier trem us than It the Atlantic
were oeiwten us. We can see their wigwams,
count their h rses, watch their men cocking, cut
ting wood, paradiDg, and drldng across the great
gull whicn is fixed between us, witn feelings vary
much skin to those with which s Hungry lion must
watch the fst hula bov who is always aggravating
hungry lions at the Z xiicg ca. gardens. It is the
opinion ot the beat informed military men that it

A Sharp Encounter—Op to the date of this
present luiter there is no material chai'gjj in the
position of the allied before bevu-tiopol or
in the atti use. ot the emmy wichm and outside
of the city. On Tuesday evening, 600i> after dusk,
a tuavy luisiiiade began on our left between the
French and the Ru.-'siaus, which never ceased till
dawn, it see ed as if a pitoh battle were going
ou, and the volume of sound, the incessant heavy
rolls ot musket and Miuie, recalled ti o Contests of
Inkermann and the Alma It is scarcely
in ia up what ail the tiring was about, but the ru
mor is that an enormous force of Russians threw
thtim.^eives suddo ly on the advanced portion of
the works ou the left, were repulsed by our gallant
ul ies, who rushed after them into the very out
works of the Flagstaff Bastion and seized on the
R m-ian rifle pita, where they maintain'd n des
pemte conflict for several hours, but were finally
rorced to retire, as the whole of the Russians oppo
site our left were brought to bear upon thum.—
The loss on both sides must have been very heavy.
I could see very distinctly yesterday a Dew gab
ion work cn the French left, towards theQnarrau
t L 6 Fort, wth French soldiers inside it, so that
it is very probable oar allies have established a sap
in that direction, and that a portion of the fight
took place around it.
Nothing is more difficulty to ascertain than the
particulars of those nocturnal encounters. The
right hand man does not know what his left hand
man is doing, and the great labor of ascertaining
the truth with respect to the proceeding of our
own expeditionary force ou such occasions is ag
gravated and btc *mea utterly thrown away in
the case of our allies. After a cannonade and
furious firing which would keep a stranger in a
state of intense excitement all nL ht, it is common
to hear some such dialogue as this the following
morning:—“l say, Smith, did *ou hear the row
last night?” “No, what was it?” “Oh, hiring
away like fury. You don’t mean to say you didn’t
hear it/” “Not a souud; came up from the
1 reuches last night, and slept like atop.” “If alioo,
Jone -, (to a distinguished cocked hat on horse
back, riding pact,) tell as whut all the-shindy v/as
bbmt last night.” “Shindy! was there. By
Jovo, yes: I think I did hear some firing—the
French and the Russians, us usual, I suppose.”
“ No, it sounded to me as if it in front of our
right attack.” Another thinks it was on the leit,
another somewhere else, and so the matter ends,
and rests for ever in darkness unless the invalide
Rußse, the or the Gazette throw their
prismatic rays upon it.
A French Account,
The Courrier de Marseilles of the fl.h inst., pub
lishes the following letter from the Crimea:
“Under Sevastopol, April 24.—Since the2lst,
the fire of the batteries on both sides has consider
ably slackened. In the night of the 2lst the en
gineers sprung several mines in front of the Flag
staff Bastion, and a dreadful commotion was felt
to some distance round. Enormous blocks of
stone were thrown up in tho air and fell upon the
Russians in the interior of the ba tion. Unfortu
nately a great number of men of our working par
ty, who aw iteQ the explosion to rush into and
crown the excavation, had retired to a moveable
battery, placed within the third parallel, 120 yards
distant from the bastion, and a portion of the
stones thrown up by the mine fell nuon them, kil
ling and wounding 80 soldiers. No sooner bad
the mine exploded than the Rassians opened a ter
nflo fire of grape shot upon ns, which aid not pre
vent ov.r working par y flooftiov» a.^the exosw
tion and eatablishing a trench within 25 yards of
the bastion. Since then our men have maintained
themselves in the work, and efcrry 6n taeip opera
tions under the eyes and wiyhTn 25 yard* of tho
Russians. This is truly wonderful. The enemy
has made several attempts to dislodge os, but was
always repulsed with loss. Another alack will,
in all probability, bo directed against the work by
a larte force, but it will meet with the n mo result.
From this moment wo consider ourseives masters
of the bastion.
After the sanguinary engagements which took
place during the nights of the 18! h and ly?h the
Russians had not been able to remove the killed
lying between their ramparts and our trenches,
amongst whom were the bodies of seVersl of our
men, which it had been also impossible for us to

thus sums cp tile present state of things in the
Crimea . —“lf any one will compare tho exact po
sition of the besieging armies and of the outworks
ol the town on the ft.h of May with what it was
when the fire opened on tho s.h of April, it will be
seen that considerable progress has been made.
The garrison of Sevastopol canrot amount is
numbers to one half of the forces now assembled
before the sot them division of the town. More
over, the resources of the defence from ontiying
w rka whiofi enfiladed the rear of oar batteries
havo been considerably abridged, end every fresh
arrival shows that the besieged are re noed within
a nanower cirole. A siege arrived at this stage ot
operations can only be arrested by the deslrnclioo
of the worzs of the besiegerr, or by the snooeestnl
advance of a relieving army, bat neither of these
results is in the sligutes degree probable. The
reconnoissance lately made by a detachment of the
Turkish, British and t encu armies beyond the
Tchernaya has shown that the enemy is not in a
position to offer any serious resistance to our fd
vauce from the east of the plateau oocupied by the
allies. Orders have recsmly oeen despatched
from Paris to cause the while French army, of
reserve collected at Constantinople, and amounting
to aoout 2fi,tioo men of all arms, to embaik at once

wore already arriving in toss .iSoapnonie, about
40,000 fresh troops, perfec'ly equipped for the
field, will shortly land in the Crimea.
In add tion to this poweriul reinforcement the
British army is constantly receiving an increase to
its numbers, which will enable it. we doubt not. to
perform any duty it n ay be eaUad upon to die
charge. With these foroes at the disposal of the
allies an army equal in number to that which won
the battle of the Aim* may advance against the
Russians from Eupatario,. Eiu-b Aartch, or the
Valley of Baidar, without diminishing the strength
of the siege. FOr this purpose the formation of
the army of reserve at MaaUk, and the acquisition
of the Sardinian contingent, are jud o ons and :m

T ' ew of Mr. feiephesa* L«ti«r.—Wo. 2.
► next oljcction of Mr. Stephens to the
American party is what he terms the proscription
1 of Catholics, and is presented by him in the form
of an interrogatory, tkoe: “Why, then, should v. e
Southern men Join the Puritans of the North to
proscribe from office the Cathodes, on account of
their religion ?”
Iu this, Mr. Stephens has grossly, but 1 will net
say intentionally, misrepresented the position of
the American party. If he has not done it iuten
tionallj, he has done .t iguorautly, and has shown
most conoiusively that it is “most true” that be
knows nothing about the principles, aims, or ob
jects of the party.” It is not true that the Amer
ican party propose “to proscribe from office the
Catholics on account of their religion.” We op
pose them because they seek to unite temporal
with spiritual power. We oppose them because
they look to the State to aid their ecclesiastical es
tablishments. We oppose them because they
claim for their Pope temporal *& well as *piiitual
supremacy. We oppose them bocause they unite
Church and State whonever it is in their power to
doit. We therefore say, we will not pUco polit
ical power in their han s, to be used to tho detri
meut of Protestants and to their own cggrandixi
ment. They arc unsafe depcsitories of political
power; all history proves them to bo so. We will
not, tberef. re, put it in their hands. As for their
religion, we will not interfere with it, or abridge
their exercise of religious liberty. That is a mat
ter between themselves aud their God. But when
they ask ta have ftgiitic*! powor placed in their
hands, we beg to be excused from granting their
request, for a reason satisfactory to oureelvee, at
least, that as they have always abussd such powor
they may doit agvin; and we will, therefore, with
hold it ft >m them. But does this “proscribe them
on accouut of their religion?” If it does, the
claim of political power is a part of their religion.
Tnat is all we oppose; and if that is their religion,
then we oppose it.
Iu this discussion, I presume the Pope’s claim
of temporal, as well as spiritual supremacy will
not b$ denied; it is too notorious to be denied,
and I shall not, therefore, enter into any learned
quotations to prove it. Thut it hr a been claimed
and exorcised, modern history will attest; and
though it is true that it has not been exorcised for
several ceuturies past, yet it is also tr»’o that the
claim of temporal sovereignty has uot been ro
nounoed by any Pope, or any Council of the Cath
olic Church. But lam willing to concede that it
is not the abstract claim of such power on tho part
of Catholics, upon which we baso our opposition
to them. It is the attempt which they have made
in several Bt&tea of the Union, partially to carry
out their doctrines, and indirectly bring aoont a
union of Church and State, by demanding that
Catholic Schools bo fostered aad supported by ap
propriations of public money.
They commenced their operations iu the city of
New York under tho lead of Bishop Hughes,
about the yerrs 1840, by complaining oi the usoof
the Bible iu the common schools, as a test book ;
aud demanded, on that ground, that a portion ot
the common Ecbool fund be set apart for the r
separate use—to support their own schools, which
were to be conducted according to their own
views. Instead of yielding to their request, these
who had control of tho sailer thought it beat to
exclude tbs Bible rather than grant a portion ol
the commoq school fund for tho support of
schools exclusively and avowedly sectarian. To
appease the Catholics, tho Bibio was accordingly
excluded fro® their common schools. But this
did uot satisfy them; it wua net what they most
desired. After ‘.he Bible was ruled out, thoy then
ohanged their warfare, and denounced the com
mon schools as “secular,” “heatbeu,” “godless,”
and unfit for the religous education of childreu ;
and as a remedy for such a state of things, they
came before the Common Council of Now Yrrk in
1841, and demanded thut a portion of the school
fund should bo set for tho benefit of such
schools as it might please them to establish. The
Common Council reused their requist. They
then appealed to the and prayed that
body to interfere in their behalf. That enemy of
the South, and arch intriguer, and unscrupulous
demagogue, William H. Seward, was then Gover
nor of New York, and ontored into iheir views—
and in his messago to the Lcgiol&’.ure, urged com
pliance with their demand—and tor this, and ever
s neo then, Wm. H. Seward and the Catholics
have been fast friends; and his iovo tor tho Cath
olios is still so strong, that we rejoice to say, that
he too it our enemy. And here 1 cannot forbear ray
ing that W. £L and Qmv**\e
man in tfieir qpp£dtion to Know Nothings,
laboring in the same vocation ; but I
to taunt him with an affiliation with tho “higher
law” leader of fieesoiiers and abolitionists, as be
has us, with affiliating with his followers in Massa
chusetts, Connecticut and Now Hampshire.
The Catholics made the samo effort in Mar,tend,
Michigan, and Ohio, to get possession of a portion
ot the common school fund to support'their own
seotarlan schools, where the dogmas and doctrines
of the Catholic Church are taught; and in Cincin
uati they attempted to carry u ticket favorable to
their views by the stfopij ot power, and that
attempt bcy&t u ne ts the most fearful riots which
La over disgraced our cities ; and gave us a
fofetasto of what may bo expected if
unfortunately over get eoulpql oi political
in this cquptijy,
4t is iu this vrry tha* '*
Church end »•-* • . they nuito
. , -.ate; not directly, but indirec ly;
not openly, but stealthily. They are well avaro
that a direct proposition to make thei-s the estab
lished ctinfgh would be not only contrary to the
Prostitution, but would overwhelm them with in
dignation, even if the constitutional barrier were
out of tho way. In this country wo need not fear
an open trrarp power—it is the stealthy glide of
’hi, eoipent whioh is to bo droaded. It has been
the policy of the Catholic Church, in ail ages and
countries, to obtain possession ot power Bilcntly
and secretly, npd never to yield one jot or tittle of
powe", When obtained. We therefore oppose any
connection, however remote, between Church snd
State, and any approach to political power by any
denomination, however indirectly it may bo made
If the Baptists were to avow that their cchege
at Tenfleld wore established for the express pur
pose ci inculcating their peculiar tenots, and wore
to demand of the Legislature an appropriation of
money tn sustain their institution, it would be
notsing less than a demand upon tho legislative
power oil the State to set up and sustain the Bap
tist church, and such a demand wcoid overwhelm
them w*ith popular indignation, and justly too ;
and irom none would it receive i more certain and
severe condemnation than tho American party.
But conld the Baptists oompiain that they would
be “proscribed from office on account of their re
ligion f” With just as much propriety as the s:.me
complaint is made in behali of the Catholics. And
so of the Methodists and their college at OxTord,
and the Presbyterians, and theirs a’ Midway.
Such a proposition, coming from either OctonJua
von, would not be tolerated for a moment—not a
poli ieian in the country would dare to counts
□ance it. Why f Bjcauso their votes are not
concentrated and controlled in s mass by their
ministers, like the Catholic votes by their pries'?.
But Cathol cs can make such a demand, and re
ceive encouragement from joliticians, who want
their votes—yea, and give their votes to cerrapl
politicians, who will promise to carry out their
views. It ism dangerous and oorrupting power in
the State, whioh the American party are deter
mined to put down. It is a power which seeks to
oontrol the elections to subserve the Belflsh de-igt s
of ambitious and domineering prelates. That is
the power we oppose, and not the religion of the
Catholic Church.
Bat this is not all, Catnolios threaten ns with
whst the; can, and will do, it their requests are
not complied with.
A few jeers ago the insane cry was raised in
some of oar cities for the repeal of the Union ot
Ireland with England—and numberless were the
speeches which were made by bombastic ora
tors and bar room politicians, who wanted Irish
votes to get into cffic*. Bat as sooa as the poli
ticians effected their purpose, the cry of repeal wa.-
soddenly hashed. It was then that the Freemens
Journal of New York, the leading Catholic paper
in the Umted States, and the organ of Bishop,
now Arch Bishop Hughes, came oat with the tol
lowing threat.
“Irishmen learn in America to bide their time,
year by year, the United States and England toueh
each other more and more nearly on the seas.
Year by year the Irish are becoming more and
more powerful in America. At length the pro
pitiona time will o* me—some accidental, sudden
C'dlisiop, and a Presidential campaign at haDd.
Wt i nil uss t tAsn, the very prrjliyoey oj <jur poll
tieiaru for our paposss. Toey will want to boy
the Irish vote, and we will tell them bow they can
bay it in a lamp from Maine to California; byde
c a'ing war on (treat Britain, and wiping < If at the
same time the staina of concessions and dishonor,
that oar Webster*, and men of his kind have
permitted to-be heaped upon the American hag
by the violence of Britiah Agents.”
Hers is sn nnbinsbing svowsl tbst tbs Irish vote
is for ssie in s lamp, to be parehssed is s Presi
dentisl eleetioo by ths man, who will bid for it
by promising to yield to their dictation, and i n
press their views npon the policy of the conntry.
Whst is this bat s threat that the Jri-h Catholics
will aoon be sufficiently numerous to transfer
power from one party to another, as may best sab
surve their policy. And is this s power not to be
dreaded ! That is the pc war agiicat which we
have waged an unrelenting war, and which we in
tend to pat down, end not their religion. I coaid
go farther end oite other proofs to the same point,
if necessary—l could refer to ths declaration,
made by tbs “ Bhepbsrd of the Valley,” a Catnolio
paper published in B*. Loo is, quoted by Benatcr
Badger in the Sena’s of the Uni ed S ates. That
If tha Catholics ever gat the emendency in any
State, they will ase it to the proscription of a-*
other denominations, and which dre'.aration was
not and has not been denied. I oonld quote the
declaration recently made by 0. A. Brownson, a
-noted Catholic writer in a lecture delivered in New
Orleans. Ths Oracle reports him as saying of ths
Romish Church—** It must become the arbiter be
t ween the State and the subject,—it must guard
the van by interposing its flaming sword as a
defence,—it must construe the Constitution and
expound laws, deciding where is the limit of cen
tralized power, and what is it* absolute duty to
perform.*
This is in strict accordance with what he has
often written for his Review, which has been en
dorsed by aU the Bishops in the United States,
and even by Fins the 9th himself. But it is unne
cessary to f itigne the reader with more quotations
on this point.
It is for this constant straining to get possession
of political power—it is fbr this continual intetfe
rence with the politics and political parties of the
country, by tbeCatholios, as a Church and denomi
nation, that we proscribe them from office. Their
religion tbey may enjoy &9 they please—say mass
os often ad they please—fast as many days in Lent
as to them may setm proper—crawl on their knees
to punish themselves for their sins, one, two, throe
or twelve months at a time, if necessary—with all
this, aud with the peculiar ceremonies of their
Church, we have nothing, and desire to have no
hing to do; and whoever asserts that we ‘‘pro
scribe Catholics on account of their religion, 1 " shows
most tru y,” that he “ knows nothing of our aims
or obj icts.”
But is the daDger of the spread of Catholicism
iu this country sufficiendy imminent to justiiy the
present movement. Lot us see.
The Metropolitan Catholio Almanac states that
there are now in the United States 7 Arch Bishops,
40 Bishops, 1704 Priests, and *.824 Churches, when
in 1850 there were only 27 Bishops, 1081 Priests,
and 1078 Churches.
The number of Churches has doubled every ten
y as the following table demonstrates :
I£3T 11 Dioceses, 10 Bishops, ?8i P tests, 2<?o Churches.

I‘sl 27 •• 27 “ 1081 *• 1078 “
DM, 41 M 40 “ 1704 •* 1&84 •«
According to this table, there is a rapid increase
in the Catholio Church in the United States, and
greater in the last four years than In any former
period. Comment is unnecessary—every one can
diaw the proper inference.
But still it may be said, that the number of
Catholics in the United States is so inconsiderable
in comparison with the other denominations com
bined, that no danger is to be apprehended from
them. Well, I will admit that we are in no danger
from them, but it is for this reason —toe intend to
watch, them and keep political power out of their hands.
There will be no danger as long as the American
party oan succeed in keeping them out of power—
but let the American party go down—let the old
parlies be revived and begin to bid for the Catho
lie vote, as they have in time past, and who can
tell what dangers may not be ahead? “Eternal vigi
lance is the prioe of Liberty.” Watch them and
keep power out of their hands, and we are safe—
but intermit our vigilance, and yield to the cry cf
“nodaDger, no danger,” and let them glide on
into power sDaltbiJy, and stop by step, as they
certainly wil! do, and it will be beyond the ken of
the most sagacious man living to see what will be
the situation of our country a quarter of a century
hence. And besides, what right have they to rule
this country! This ia a Protestant country
peopled by Protes ants who fled hither for refuge
from Catholio persecutions. Let Catholics come,
if tht y will, and let them er joy their religion as
freely as they please, but let them not expert po
litical power to be conferred on them. We cannot,
and will not do it. The revocation of the edict of
Nantes sent many of our forefathers here—wo
should be false to their memory and recreant to
ourselves, as their descendants, if we were to per
mit thesamo persecuting Church to obtain power
to do the like mischief.
Americans shall rule America, and
Protestants shall govern Protestants.

The third objection of Mr. Stephens to the Amer
ican party is, what he is pleased to term the pro
scription of foreigners. But what ho means by
proscription, he has not deigned to tell us. Now
the meaning of proscription is, “to put out of the
oroteQtiou of the law”—to deprive a mau of the
rights to which he is entitled by law. Do we pro
pose to deprive foreigners of any rights to which
they are legally entitled ? Not at all. Before for
eigners come to this country, what rights have
\hoy here? Will Mr. Stephens please inform ns?
Tho answer must be, none. Our proposition ie»,
to change the term required for naturalisation
from five to twenty-one yearo. *1 our proposition
should bo enacted "into £, law, it will simply require
foreigners 4 when they come here, to res : de here
twenty one years instead of five, before they can

tion. If our proposition would proscribe foreign
ers, so do the present naturalisation laws. Qcs
contains proscription as well as the other, if there
be any proscription at alb The oply difference is
as to tim ; the priuyiplqin both is identically tho
same. But Igo further, and say, without fear of
successful refutation, that if our naturalisation
law* were repealed, and no others enacted in their
place, there would be nq prescription of foreign
ers, for the simple reason that they would he the
possession of no rights of which b* pioaeipibed.

. who are here, and in the possession and
enjoyment of vetted rights; no one proposes to
interfere with them. In the absence of an; law
admitting them to the rights and privileges of
American citizens, the; would come, knowing
that those rights and privileges would not be con
ferred upon them. How then would the; be pro
scribed 1 Ail of ub who were born end reared
here were denied the privilege of voting, and other
rights incident to citizenship, until twenty-one
years of age; bnt were we proscribed during that
time t As much so as foreigners would be, if they
were required to undergo the like term of proba
tion before eoquiring the rights of citizenship
We were requirod to reside nere twenty one years
from the time of our birth, before we were thought
ospabfe of exeroising the right of suffrage; the like
rule is applied to our Bons, and it is not proscrip
tion ; we we re not proscribed, neither are our sons;
nor is it any proscription of foreigners lo reqnire
them to reside here the like term, that they
may be divested of the prejudices of early life, ac
quired under monarchical Bystems of government;
t' at their propensity to licention ness, engendered
by the sudden transition from the dospotio rule of
the old world to the enjoyment of “life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness,” in this free coun
try, may be oorrected, and that they may become
prepared properly to appreciate the high and re
aponsib'e duties of American oitisens. With ns,
the privilege of citizenship is a "birth right," to be
anj-.yed on arriving at the proper age; as to for
eigners, it is a boon to be conferred or not, as
policy may dictate: and it is e-tirely within the
province of the Legislative power to prescribe the
terms upon wbiob it shall be granted. To talk of
proscription in suoh a case, is superlatively absurd.
If to require foreigners to resids here twenty one
year* before admitting them to the rights ol citi
zenship, be proscription, then to require five years’
residence is proscription; and aooording to Mr.
Stephen's position, it admits of no other couclusion.
They must be admitted as soon as they touoh our
soil, also they are proscribed. But we think they
are not so easily prepared for a proper exercise ol
the right of suffrage. Under any circumstances,
and at any time, a large mi j ority of them are mere
tools in the hands of demagogues, and so gross are
the abases of the right of suffrage by foreigners,
that we think a correction is loudly called for.—
And upon this point, we have tho concurrence of
Mr. Stephens himself; he admits that there are
“ great fravdt and groet about in the administration
of the naturalize'ion laws, and that they eught to
tie corrected.” Indeed and in truth, after ail his
denunciation of our party, he has virtually put
himaolt upon our platform, sod is a good “Know
Nothing” in principle. He says:
“ Unfortunately for the country, many evils
which all good moo regret and deplore, exist at this
time, which have a direct tendency wonderfully
to aid, and move iorward thia ill omentd crutude
They relate to the appointment of bo many foreign
are, wholly unfit, not only to minor offices a*,
home, but lo represent our oountry, as Ministers
abroad. And the grtat fraudt and grott abuses
(.the italics are hia, not mine,) which at preset
ttend the administration of our nat ural.aation
laws. These are evils felt by the whole country,
a id they ought to be corrected.”
Exactly, Mr. Stephens—in that we are entirely
agreed— »o give ns yonr hand. These “evils fed
by the whole conntry” have given rise to our or*
g-inization, and to “correct them” is one of onr
objects—indeed onr main one—and if yon are n< t
a member Bmongst ns, yon are nevertheless on
onr platform; yon are with na in principle ; how
tnen could yon say sneb hard things aga nst ns,
when we are trying to do the very thing which
yon aay “ought” to be done ?
Bat how are ti.aae “grsaX fronds" and “grots
abuses" to be “corrected f” That iB the question.
“Not,” says Mr. Stephens, “by a proscription
of all foreigners without regard to individual
merits.” Well, be it so, no one ia asking for it.
“riat,” continues Mr. 8., “in the first place, by to
amending the naturalization laws, as effectually to
check and prevent these frauds and alnues"— b 0
say we. But I appeal both to tbe good eenee and
experience of Mr. 8., to eay if thia can be expected
from either of the old partiee ! Does he not know
that it was attempted, after tbe perpetration es the
“gross frauds” in the Presidential election in
ISW, and signally failed f Does be not know that
the proportion to amend the naturalization laws
for the par poses of correcting the "abuses” which
he admits, was met with uncompromising hostili
ty from the dominant party in Congress I And
why I Beeau e they feared the loea of tbe foreign
vote. They knew that, having oontrol of the Leg
s atSve power, if they permitted the natural si
t ou laws to be amended so as materially to abridge
the right ot foreigners to vote—forsigne a would
bold them accountable for It. And tiestsrioof
the wLigs, when in power—they would not ea
danger the popularity of their party with foreign
era by interfering with the rights of foraignars to
vote. Dose he not know this t Wee he .not in
VOL. LXIX.-NKvn SKRIKIS VOL UX. —NO.
Congress and wuuosied uad I Does ne Lot know
i that no dependence can ba placed in either whig
i or democratic party to “correct the frauds and
l abuses 1 ’ which he says “have been felt by the
whole country f” If they are disposed to corroct
• them, and can do It, why havß they not dono it f
But let us hear further from him as to his remedy
for the correction cf these *[fra'xdLs and
“And in the second place,” sa>s he, “by hold
ing to strict accountability at the polls in our elec
tions, all those public fimctianarios, who, either
with partizau views, or from whatever motive
ihus improperly confer oihoe, whether high or low,
npou uudeserv.ug Fore-QnMre, to the exclusion of
mauve born citizjua bet.or to till them.”
That is precisely wnat we propose do; surely
Mr. B. must have had oar ritual before h;m when
he wrote his letter, what he says ought to be done
coincides so exactly with what we are aiming to do.
But still there is a wido difference between us as
to the means of doing what wo all say ought to be
done. We propose a distinct organization, and to
make it powerful enough to effect tho object in
viow. Ho scouts the idea of such an organization,
aud denounces it as Jacobinical, proscriptive and
even fanatical. Well", then, u-on what does he
rely to correct the abuses, which he admits to ex
ist in lull force? He has not deigned to tell us,
but has dealt only in generalities. Would he roly
upon the Whig party, or the Democratic party ?
We cau infer nothing elec. What a proposition
to come from a man of his aegaoity, experience
and observation! To correot the “ frauds and
abuses'* complained of, those “ publio ‘unctionariee
who, Irom partisan views, or from whatever mo
tive, improperly oonfer office on undeserving
Foreigners to tho t xolusion of native born citizens
better qnabflod to fill them” must bo “held to a
strict accountability.” But who is to hold them
accountable? The Democratic party I Why they
are the very offenders —the guilty ones —ihofce,
who from “partizau views” are constantly “con
ferring office oil undeserving Foreigners, to the
exclusion of native born citizens ” They place
Foreigners on their tickets and promote them to
office for the express purpose of buying their
votes and thus controlling the elections —aud I
iisk nothing in a seeing that the tinio has bceu,
when Mr. S. would have joined us iu saying so,
if ho w.ll not say so now. Will the Whig party
do what Mr. S. says ought to be done to correct
tt eso abuses? Alas, they are equally guilty with
tho Democratic party—they uie q iito as eagor
to control tho Foreign vote —only they have not
boon quite as successful, as thair rivu! party; that
is about tho on'y distinctive difference bo ween
them on this point. And now we have this apeo
tacle—the country divided into two great parties,
both bidding for foreign votes, bo'.h voting foreign
ers fraudulently, whou they cau do it, both running
Foreigners oil their tickets to get their influence,
and Mr. S. says, to put a Btop to this state ot
things, wo must hold them to a strict accouuta
bili'y. But who is to hold them? That ib tho
question upon which he does not enlighten us.
It ia very true that tho guilty parties will not hold
themselves to account for tuch conduct, and it is
very remarkable that neither parly tries to bring
the ether to account, only wh*n it ia powerless to
do any thing. Rower passes from one tg the
other, and the party in power always neglects to
do the thing required,—being in office, they do
not thon feel any necessity for such action.
“Those evils have been felt by the whole coun
try,” and borne, until eudurauoe can bear uo
more; and neither Whig nor Democratic party
will correot them, tho American party has been
organized for that very pu p >se—thut is “the head
and front’* of our orgauiz .tion —f »r that we “live,
movo, and huve our being aud that objeo* we
intend to accomplish, if there is putrio ispf, enough
left in nativo American* to do it ( aud if Mr. 8. is
sincere in what ho Bit) 8, (and wo doubt not his
sincerity) he ought to join us—at least, he cught 1
not to abuse us for banding together to do the '
very thing which ho says ought to be douo. % *
But this is not all—Mr. &. is with us in another 1
branch of tho subject; he has both feel upon our 1
platform. Hear him again :
“Another evil now fe.t, and which ought to bo 1
r?med ed,” (so say we Kuow Nothings) “is tho
flooding, it is said, of some of tho cities with pau
pers and criminals Irom other countries. Tnesu
ought all to le unconditionally excluded, a.ud 1
prohibited horn coming amongst us,” ( Woujd »i?at ;
be proscription, or not?) “There is no reason ;
wl ywo should be tho leaders cij other nation*'
paupers, or either tho keepers or execution 47-4 of
theiry«{on«.”
Good, 40c,nd, ytkoLosotuo doctrine, extracted
from oar pluttorui, but clothed iu different luu
guugo—that is al the difference. Wonder how
Mr. Stephens came to steal some oi our thunder 1
Alter all, be does appear to “know tomcthint/ uhOU(
the principles, aims and objects of otjs party.”
.But has ho any pluu to reach tho 'givil now felt,
and which," ho says, ‘Vuglftto be rcmodlod l"
He has t-uguordyd .gone, but denounced, iu strong
terms, ijhe only patty in the country whloh is try
ing to correct the evil complained cf. Que of our
objects is to advocate and procure, if possible, the
enactment cf a law to prevent the immigration
hither of foreign paupers and oriminals, and if
such are landed in our ports, to send them back
to the country whence they cimg, Hj, Stephens
says this ought to bo done, snd yet ho denounce-*
aa, t j,ou art- a jewel I” Would
of tho old parties remedy the evil I Why
have they not done it, as they have alternately
boon in power f The fact is, they encourage the
immigration hither of swarms of foreigners, that
they may obtain votes with which tQ ocutrol o'so
tiona. Witness the “ Homestead Bill,” proposing
to givo a ([carter Bootion«f land to ovary foreigner
who will immigrate hero and settle upon it. What
is that intended for, bat to induce foreigners to
come o', or in countless multitudes I It has not
yet been enacted into a law, aud that it ba< not, is
in part owing to tho organisation of our party.
Will Mr. Stephens look to the politicians in Con
gross, either Whig or Dem- erotic, to remedy "the
evil,” which, ho says, “is now felt ?” Ho knows
belter. To what eouroe then will he look for the
enactment cf a I»w to “nnoonditionaily exclude
and prohibit foreign paapera and criminal* from
coming amongst us 1”
A brief notice of two other subjects mentioned
in bis letter and I have dono. He asks— 41 Is it
possib’e that they (the American t rty) will con
tinue in politiool party fellowßhip with their
1 worthy brethren* of Maseschasetis, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, and the entire Norih P* And
moro than ouce has ho iauuted us with our “worthy
brothron” at tho North. Here, cnee for all, let me
inform him, that wu have a National Organisation,
which has no “ political party fellowship" with
any party, sect or o ique, North or South, which
is agitating, or will agi’nte questions, that will dis
turb the Onion, or produce its dissolution—that
Freceoilers and Abolitionis's, whose ODjcot Is to
agitate the question cf slavory, are not and cannot
be members of oar National Organ ixa ion. Our
Organisation is the only one in existence, which
can effectually put down tire agitation of that exci -
ting question, and Hough there are Freesoilorsand
Abolitionists, who boar our name, they are not 01
us, nor are they recognised by us, us belonging to
onr Order, and entill'd to euts in our councils,
nor can they be, until they pledge themselves to
adjust and remove al! d ffirences which may
threaten the existence of the Union. It is true,
that in some, and perhaps tno it cf the Northern
States, the members of the N tional Organization
are not in tho maj jritj—but it i . the trueor. anion
lion, and all others are sectional, with which we
have no atliliatiou or connection, and for whose
aots wo are not accountable. Denounce ns, if yon
please, and believe this or not as yon may see pro
per—if it netertheUee true. Con as much be said
fer any other National party now in existence 1
&lr. S. has also taunted us with the resolution
adopted by the late State Counoil at Macon. Me
at first admits that the resolution contains “ what
no man South of Mason <fc Dixon's line for the last
thirty five years would have ventured to deny,’
and then assails it as an insidious attack upon tbe
Kansas and Nebraska bill. Now, the resolution
was intended to mi k j no such attack—and if Mr
8. had not been in a querulous mood when he
wroto his letter, he woo d not have discovered
what does not exist—but bis object evidently was
to find fault. If we had said nothing on the slave
ry question, we would have been taunted with
acquiescing in the anti slavery views of our “wor
thy brethren” at the Nort 1 -, and no on • would have
rung the charges longer or louder than Mr. 8. him
Belf. It wonld have been food lor hit upon which
his hostility to our Order could have led for weeks.
But let us dissect the resolution, and see if we
can find the “ itcret bbide oi J jab, which it bears
towards Kansas and Nebraska, concealed under a
girb.” It contaius three propositions:
first. 11 That slavery and slave institutions are
protected by the Const!' otion of the United States,
and the obligation to rr tdnta n 0 em is no’section
al, but national.” Wei, the ' 1 > tor t t blade" is not
to be lound in that proposition—and though Mr.
8 dare not object to it, yet he can sneer at it.
Becond. “That the right to establish them in
the organ'xatlon of Biste Government*, belongs to
the native and tialnraliz'd ci -; *ens.”
Does Mr. 8. deny this? Doos he deny that the
right affirmed “ belongs to native and naturalized
citzens?" It simply affirms, that the “right to
establish slavery and slave institutions in the or
ganization of State Governments belongs to the
native and naturalized citizeus.” Will Mr. 8. say
that it does not belong to them ? Wherefore, then,
oljeot? Where is the “ etc et blade ” which he
pruends to have discovered I Because tbe propo
sition did not go further and say that “ foreigners
who have filed their intention to become natnrliz
ed, —also have the right to estat liah slavery and
slave institutions in the organization of Bute
Governments; —it ie, tberelore, an atUok—nay
more—an insidious attack upon the Kansas and
Neb-a-ha bill;” and “when Kansas applios for
admission as a stave Bute, as she doabtJees will,
a Southern ‘Know Nothing,’ under this reao-
Intipn, can unite with bis ‘worthy brethren’ at
the North, in voting agaioat il, upon the ground,
that some have voted for a Constitution reoog
□ iziDg slavery, who bad net been naturaiiaed,
but bad only declared their intention,” upon and
this be waxes bold and says, “ a moro insidious

of citizenship, (and that is only granted arya-nd < )

illegal and void—but ho v oouid su’U voter iffioS

when cast on the same side! We affirm that the

vote to do so—and adopt n Gona.itation recogniz
ing Blavery— Foreigners, who navo merely de
clared their intention to be natural zod, a’so vote
to adopt tie earns Constitution. Mr. Stephens
says that “Southern Know Nothings”can, on that
ground, vote against it. No each consequence can
follow, how is it possible ior illegal voter, even ad
mittii g the latter to be such, —to invalidate the
legal votes on the earns ride. What an abrur Ihy
hat Mr. 8. involved him»elf in I and it is strengo
that a dim of his aituteueas did not Bee it—but hla

Mr. 8. Hays that foreigners, t ot naturalized,’ hut

also have the right to vote. W T e know that, and
do not di-puto it; wo know that th; bill organiz

them; and it loilows necessarily, if they lavothe

the other also—if they can voto for tbo es ablith
