WEEKLY
I'MONIDLE & SENTINEL
Tor ih* ChronUU de StntmtL
I'B- £mto® : In Hr. Stephens* speech,
written oat and aathentioated by himself, in year
tri weekly ot Thursday last, te calls upon me to
produce my authority for saying that the Jaoobina
first styled themselves “Friends of the Revolu
tion,” instead of “Friends of the Constitution.”—
By reference to Vol. VI, of the Encyclopaedia Amer
ica ua, under the word “Jacobins,** the following
sentence may be found:
“The private house in which they (the Jaooblns)
first assembled, soon became no longer capable of
containing the number of 'Fritndi of th* Evolu
tion,’ as they first called themselves.”
They accordingly met in a monsatery of Jaoobin
mocks, snd were from that fact colled Jaoobina.—
This was in 178 SI. The difference, then, between
us, is the difference between our historians; and
analogy is very much against the statement of
M. Thiers.
Bat this has but little to do with the great ques
tions at issue between Ur. Stephens and the Amer
ican party. These may be simply resolved into
two leading points: First, Is it the policy of the
Romish Church to aim at political power in this
snd every country where they can gain the ascen
dancy i Second, Is there any danger of such pow
er ever b ing attained in this country, through the
addition of Catholio adherents to our population
by immigration 1
These are the points at issue, and if they can be
clearly established, all else that we have contended
for is substantiated, as a matter of conrse. Mr.
Stephens will then, by his own admissions, justify
even secret Cgsnir.- ...» for such » defence, as (
/real t» horror au lie for them. For we
have never seen more earnestness and fervor, not
to say frenay, man'tested against any sect or party
than he does against the American party. —
Hj charge* us with fanaticism against foreigners
and Catholics, but it wild, extravagant, ill-founded
zeal be fanaticism, then Mr. Stephens is guilty of
the charge in reference to this new party. Al
though be announces that “he is not afraid of any
thing on earth, above the earth, or under the earth,
except to do wroDg,” yet we are inclined to doubt
his assertion, after we behold the monster Know
Nothingism as depicted by himse f. He mast have
forgot this “monitrum horrendwm ” of his own
creation, when he said he feared nothing. Bat let
us have the picture. He says that the Native
American party “is wrong in its aims and object*, n
wrong from beginning to end, and exceedingly
ur jast. Great evils and dangers are to be appre
hended from this now and most vicious poktioil
monster. He compares it to the embodiment of
vice itself, which is
* »f to hiieoas mien,
That to be bated needs b-t to be Been.*'
Ho sajs that with its general embrace by the
people of this country, comes political rain and
d ath. He who fosters it, fosters an insidious and
poisonous serpont in his bosom. Oue of itH gene
ral effects is to dscsivsy equivocate and prevaricate.
Hundreds and thousands go about daily and
hourly telling palpable lies. Ho admits that all do
not do thi*, but it is common with the order, thus
to equivocate, mislead and deceive. Even minis
ter* of the gospel, under the influence of this or
ganization, may preach from your pulpits, and
then toll lies at your table about their connection
with the order. Church members are also as deep
iu the mud as the preachers are in the mire. The
whole thing, he atys, leads to d>.oeption y hypocrisy ,
knavery, and universal treachery, and the only
remedy is for this great monst&r vice to be held up
to he public gaze, that it may be seen, hated, and
abandoned speedily, as it ought to be. Ho farther
sayß, “that it is anti-American, anti-Tepublican,at
war with the fundamental law of the Union, and
revolutionary in i\s character.” All this Mr. Ste
phens has said of an order and its membership, of
which he professed a few days since to knew noth
ing, without bringing the first particle of proof to
substantiate a single charge.
We call upon all the candid and right thinking
men iu the country to decide the question, which
evinces the most arrant fanaticism, to oontend
that Catholic supremacy in this country will ruin
it, or that the precedence of the native American
party will. Mr. Stephens has said harder things,
wilder things, more extravagant things of the
Know Nothings, than we ever did of the Catholics;
and yet, when we refer to Smithfleld and St. Bar
tholomew’s unmistakable facts in history, as warn
ing us what might be done in this country if the
same immutable churoh gets in the ascendency,
he begs his constituents not to listen to such
fanatical appeals ; while, without any guarantees
of history to fall back upon, Bave the Jacobins,
and without any similarity of objeots, aims and
sympathies, between them and the Know Noth
ings, only that they are both secret societies, he
makes au appeal against them, that has more of
the wildness and frenzy of political fanaticism,
than any thing we have ever read in the history of
party politics at the South. We admit that among
Northern abolitionists, the monster slavery has
some such hideous proportions as this new order
presents, under the touch of Mr. Stephen’s pencil,
(indeed we are struck with the similarity income
pointe,) but at the South we have heretofore had
no such specimens. Flain, honest, common sense,
statesman like views have generally characterized
our political debates. Bold assertion, empty de
clamation and fanatical detraction, have generally
boen left for the laud of urns. For once the gen
tlemau has o\ershot himself; while he may stag
ger a few nirvsillant whigs, who ; have dared for
once iu their lives to think before Mr. Stephens
speaks, the great mass, we have reason to know,
will not only think for themselves, but can never
forget, in all the after political strifes in which his
name may be presented before the public, the
unwarranted, unexpected, uncalled for attaok,
made by him on this now American party, who
have organised together for the perpetuation of
the rights of consoience, which Catholics and
toreiguerc mutually enjoy in this land of freedom.
They never will forget the unfounded assumptions
which Mr. Stephens has made against them ; for
knowing that the objects, aims and principles of
the order are such, ae every true patriot, every
opponent of a •ombiuation of ohurch and State,
every lover of the religioua liberty of his native
land, can sustain and vote for, they will either
award to him a wild fanatical seal for a bid oamse,
or something more unscrupulous and less to be
pitied.
list Mr. Stephana charges th. Native Atn.rlaen
party with rebellion against the government of
this country. “ Not en open end manly rebellion,
(we use his own words) bnt a secret end covert at
tempt to undermine the very oorner stone of the
temple of onr liberties.” Did he weigh the pon
derous dimensions of that sentence when ha ut
tered itt and afterwards, when with the sober
second thought he penned itl If so, then he may
bo able to bear its weight. If he does, he will :
prove himself greater than Aristides, for it is j
enough to crush sny political sspirsnt in the land. |
’Tis true, he has attempted somewhat to parry the 1
force of this deadly blow levelled at the honor, in- I
togrity and patriotism cf the very men who have ;
made him what he is, by saving that “those who j
hoard him and thousands of others, had gone into ;
the organizat on unwilling’y,” but they bad been
diceivod, (we now speak inferentially,) they tad j
not sense enongh to know what the thing wonld I
lend to, poor deluded, spell bound oreatnres, re
belling against government, undermining the cor
ner stone of liberty, and not knowing what they
were about, until he, Mr. Stephens, had penetrated
with a prophetic ken, almost supernatural, into the
deep profound ot Know Nothingism, and unveiled
to them the dirty work in which they were en
gaged. Does not Mr, Stephen, perceive in this
admission, that the wnoie force of hia argument,
founded on the Jaoobins in hie letter is overturn
ed. If ail the Know Nothings who heard him,
and thousands of others, are too patriotic to tarn
Jacobina, then there are no elements in this coun
try, st least in Augusta, to make Jaoobins of. If
there are no each elements here, and the people
are real patriots, and only hugged the monster be
cause they knew not whit they were doing, then
all the hue and cry raised by Mr. Stephens, about
“rebellion snd underming liberties," smouats to
sbout ths same thing as the cry of “ wolf,” when
there’s nothing on the air but the bleating of a
lamb.
Gut Mr. Stephens brings ap s constitutional dif
ficulty, into which this new Order has became en
tangled. He quotes from the Constitution of the
United States, as toilows:
“ But co religious test shell ever be required, ss
s qualification to any ctficj or public Dust under
the United States.” He then ahows from what he
snpposes good authority, that the Know Nothinge
are opposed to e’evsting Borneo Catholics to office
n this country. [How does it happen that the
Native Creole CstholiOß are supported for office by
the Know Nothings in New Orleans!] Ha saya
‘•they have Urns pledged themaelves to set np a
religious test in qualifications for office, against the
express words of the Constitution of the United
States.” He here attempts to place the American
party in antagonism with the Constitution, in re
fusing to vote for Boman Catholics. Now, ws un
equivocally de-y— lst. That the Oonsutnti >c makes
suy such test for voters si the ballot box, snd 2d.
Tbat tke Know Nothings in their pledgee make,
by intention, s religious test in the selection of
men to fill offices of honor snd trust under the
United States.
The sentence in the Constitution, which has
been dismembered by Mr. Stephens, reads thus;
“ Tbe Senators and Representative# before men
tioned, and tbe members of the severs! State Leg
ielatures, and all executive and J udicial officers,
both of the United States and the several Slataa,
shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support
this Constitution; bat no religious test shsli ever
be required, ss S qualification to sny office or pub
lic trust under the United States.”
Now wbst connection would there be in the
two parts of this sentence under Mr. Stephens’s
construction. It would read sbout thus: “The
several officer! above mentioned, eftali bo bound
by oath to eupport this Constitution : but the peo
ple shall be bound to make no religions test in
electing men to office." Can it be supposed tbat
th: framers of tbe Constitution, would have beei
guilty of such sheer nonsense, iu eonuectiug two
subjects so irrelevant, by a eenjanetion, into the
same aentenaa. Now ae the firat part of the
■catenae refers te what tbe officers shall be re
quired to do, as a test of boiling offiee, vie: take
an oath to support the Constitution, so the seeond
part shows what they ahall not be required to do,
aa a test of holding office, that is give iu their ad
hesion to any religious faith or sect, The Consti
tution means to say, that after the people have
sleeted a man to office, the oath of effioe shall be
administered to him wkether he be a Protestant,
Catholic, Mormon or Atheist, provided he is cot
debarred by any other prineiple iu the Constitu
tion. But Mr. Stephans maxes this religious teat
to apply at the ballot box, which is so palpably ab
surd as to hardly bear tbe charge of sophistry
even. He says, “So of all the reasons you (the
voters) may have, or objections, or disqualifica
tions in the uiection of men to offioe or places of
public trust, under the United Btstes, yon msy
make any other test but this religioas test.”
While it ie true ss we admit, that if an Atheist
should Le elected President of the United States,
the J edge administering the oath of offioe could
not interrogate him ae to his religioas opinions,
yet it is equally true, and within the letter and
spirit of the Constitution that a voter at the ballot
box has a right to interrogate him and refnse to
east hia vote for him purely on the ground of hie
religious faith. Bo muoh for Mr. Stephens’ Con
stitutional religious test. That would be a glo
rious instrument indeed, for the basis of a free
government, worthy to be made the political wind
ing sh«*t of this modern Aristides, if vfitb all itm
other rights ■ 6 by it to a frekpeople, tt
withheld the right of voting for whom they
pleased.
We propose, Mr. Editor, through your courtesy,
In a few days to substantiate what we asserted
above, via., that the Native American party do
not, by intention, make any religions test in their
selection of men to fill offices under the United
8 atea, snd this will involve s reply to the diss
vowsl of Mr. Stephen>lu behalf of the Catholics
sb a church, thst they form a political party in this
country, or are seeking for political power.

Are rbe Hon. A. H. Stephan's Sentiments Hostile
lo tbe but Policy of rbe American Party 1
We have read, with considerable interest, tho va
rious articles in the public journals of the day, elic
ited by the letter of the Hon. A. H. Stephens, upon
“Know Nothingism”—its principles, objects and
aims. The discussion of this new issue is, we ap
prehend, right and proper; for if the movement
be a necessary one, and its pnrpores compatible
with the but interests of the country, a free aud
impartial diaensaion of the principles invo ved and
the thorough investigation of their merits will not
prove detrimental. An entirely new quesiion like
the one under consideration, and sprang so sud
denly into pubho notice, must, from the very na
ture of the circumstances attending its incipiency,
present some ol j iotionable testures. Opposition,
in its early development, to any new question, if
based upon sound aud correct principles, instead
of preventing or even retarding its extension, has
a direct tendency, by pruning it of every thing su
perfluous or detrimenta 1 , to acoelerate its progress
to ultimate sucooss. Butour object, however, in tbe
present article, was not to defend the “American
movement,” (as it is termed) but to snbmit onr
views upon this celebrated letter, differing aa we
do, so essentially from those who have proceeded
us in its review. The scope aud tenor of his letter,
iu its bearing npon veritable Know Nothingism,
duly cor aidored, we deem his co operation to ac
complish the legitimate purposes of this new party
neither impossible nor improbable. That it has
been tbe subject of panegyrio and invective, we
are aware, but nnder all the cirenmstanoes of the
case, we consider it in tone, temper, and senti
ment, generally unexceptionable. While on the
one hand, we discover nothing in the letter
likely to bridge over the gnlf which has separated
the writer from those who nave waged political
war unrelentingly against him ; on the other hand,
we see no just cause why tbe po itioal ties which
have existed between him and his oonstinency of
the Eighth Congressional Diatriot should be dis
turbed, even admitting their proaelylißm to the
new political faith.
But to pass on to the consideration of onr main
proposition, tbat the sentiments of Mr. Stephens,
as Bet forth in hiß letter, are in perfect unieon with
the legitimate aim* and purpote* if the “ American
Party." Mr. S. admits in his letter that “many
evils whioh all good men regret and deplore, exist
at this time,” bat hie language is even stronger
than that, he adds, “they are felt by the whole coun
try, and they ought to be corrected .” Hero is laid
down in terms, aa explicit as language can make
it, the great fundamental doctrine of the Know
Nothing party—the very basis of its organization,
to do what Mr. 8. emphatically says “ought” to be
done. Now, what are tbe leading measures pro
posed by the “American Party" to accomplish the
objects at whioh it aims 1
1. Tbe modification of the naturalization laws,
or their total repeal if the purity of the elective
frenohise cannot otherwise be preserved, from the
evils growing out of their present administration,
2. Tbe prohibition of tbe immigration hither, ot
all foreign paupers and criminals, and their total
exclusion from the country.
8. Tbe elevation to office of native, in preference
to foreign born citizens—talonts, character and
qualifications being equal.
4. Beligiona toleration to all classes and sects
not incompatible with civil liberty.
5. Thorough reform both in onr State and Fed
eral Administrations, holding all public officers to
a strict accountability.
8. The eettlemont of the “Slavery question"
upon a “ national beuit" (clearly and distinctly
recognising the Territories as the common pro
perty of the people of the United Btates,) its pro
hibition or toleration there to be decided by the
people themselves, when met to ferm a State Con
stitution, the naturaliiation laws if modified to be
prospective in their eperation,
7. The maintenance, defence and support of the
Union upon Conatituttonsl principles.
From Mr. Stephens’ letter are evolved the fol
lowing propositions;
1. To amend the naturalisation laws bo as to
prevent the great frauds and großß abases which at
present attend their administration.
2. To unconditional ly exclude, and prohibit from
ooming amongst us, all paupers end criminals
from foreign countries.
8. To confer no office, whether high or low npon
undeserving Foreigners, to the exclusion of nativ
bom citiscDß, better qualified to fill them.
4. To oppose the control of the temporal powers
by tbe tpiriheal.
5. To 00-operate, in every proper ana legitimate
way with any party to effeat a reform both in the
Blate and Federal Administrations, holding all
pnblio functionaries to a strict accountability.
t. To settle the question of Slavery in the Ter
ritories upon the principles of the “Nebraska
Bill.”
7. To stand by the Union upon the principles
enunciated in the “Georgia Platform,” resietancs
to succeed unconstitutional Congressional legisla
tion, npon Slavery.
Now we must confess thst it will require s nieer
oaeuiit than we are to point out even a shadow
of difference between the first five propositions of
the “ American Party,” as hero laid down, snd the
sentiments of Mr. Stephana in reference to them.
Even upon the remaining two there is no radieal
difference of opinion. Mr. 8. favors the removal
of the question of Slavery from Congress »nj
leaving it with the people interested in it, for
them to decide. Bo do the Know Nothings. The
only thiig really at issue on this snbjec*. between
the new party and Mr. 8. is, the one favors the
organic law of the Territories in reference to
foreigners, the other is opposed to it. The public
sentiment of the oonntry, we are of the opinion,
is equally removed ffem either extreme, while it iB
opposed to a fife time (as it were) exclusion of the
foreigner from the rights of citixanship, it is
equally opposed to his immediate admission to
its privileges and immunities. That portion
of his letter whioh insinuates the possibility of
Georgia “ Know Nothings” affiliating with the
Abolitionists of ths North,
wbo have o.nnected themselves with ths new
movement from the most selfish motives, we stall
paas over in silence, as the only portion of it we
reprobate as nnworthy of its author. The two
main objections urged against the order we shall
briefly oonsider and harry to a conclusion. The
exclusion of Catholics as a dags from office, (we
allude more particularly to foreign Dorn) is based
upon their acknowledgment of a “ higher authori
ty” in tbe spiritual power to control ths temporal.
Upon the same principle that Mr. S. excludes from
office all who maintain the doctrine of a “ higher
law,” do the Nothings advocate the exclu
sion from effioe, as a class, all Catholics who admit
this “ higher authority” in spiritoai affairs to con
trol them in thought, feeling snd action, in tem
poral affairs. If there be inconsistency in the one,
it equally attaches to the other; for to our appre
hension the rule of proaoription is alike applicable
to either. The feature of secrecy, which some who
favor ths general objects of the American move
meat reprobate, and to which Mr. S. decidedly ob
jects, is ths necessary result of the existing order
of things. When ths canvas for pat lie office,
whether high or low, is oondacted without s re
sort to the misrepresentation, slander, invective
and vile bi'ingsgata, prurient with all the venom
that political malioe can distil, tbat has heretofore
disgraced this oonntry, than will it be time enongh
to consider the propriety of removing the veil of
secrecy. Have we eo soon forgotten the ignomin
ions false hoods snd misrepresentations which
characterised the last Gubernatorial election I

The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens being present,
rose from his seat and addressed the meeting in
one cf his fairest, ablest, and happiest efforts, iu
which he routed tho Know Nothings at every point,
and left them without one single foot of ground
to stand upon, either as a secret or open enemy tc
the constitution ot onr country. We would give
the main points of his argument against this new
movement, aid we not believe he would visit eve
ry county of the District and proclaim ’he doc
trines of eternal political truth, as ho did here with
us. He stood npou the rostrum two hours, ana
did not fail to arouse the feelings of ail,
our white-headed sire?; aud sat down amidst tho
applause ofthe multitQde.
Jesse M.. Jones, E*q., then introduced the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions, which were
adopted, without a dissenting voice:
Whereas, in view of the excited state of the
pub ic mind upon important national quo t’ons,
which, in all probability, wil be tho subjects oi
Cong'essional legislation iu ihe next Oongre-s ot
the United S ! aies, the condition of tho c >untry
will require thi aid of the purest, ablest, and best
men iu the land, to guide and direct ti.e uffairs of
ihe Federal Governim-nt, men who have been
tried, and f juud able and true to the Constitution
and tne reserved rights of the several States of the
Union —therefore be it
dissolved, That we hail with feelings of pride
and pleasure the unnoancemeu* ol tho name ot the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens as a candidate for re
election in this District to tho next Congress of
the Uuited States. Having, as we do, an abiding
confidence in h s integrity, honesty, and ability
as a pure and able statesman, we wid use a 1 hon '
orable means to secureh.s re election.
dissolved, That we are opposed to all political !
organizations or parties that make a religious test '
port of their politico! creed, and morec.specially to
secret,oath-bound po’itical religiouaorg m'z i ion- 1 , (
as being at war with the genius of our govern- '
ment, the Constitution of -he United States, ai d
the State of Georgia, and without a precedent for
good in auy Republican Government.
dissolved, That in the judgment of this meeting, 1
the oaly qualification tba ought Lo bo required of '
the citizen as a test for holdiug office is, “Is he
honest?—is he capable? ’—-and not what are his
religious opinions or where ho was born.
Resolved, That we hold this Union secondary in
importance only to our rights, aud that we will 1
stand by and maintain the Constitution and the
Union of these States as long as onr rights can be
maintained in the Union ; but it the day should '
ever come (which we trust in God will never,) 1
when Congress shall paes any law violative oi
the great principles of the “Georgia Platform” of
1850, which wo adopt aud upon which wo stand,
then, in the language of that emphatic instrument,
“Wo will and ought to resist even (as a last rosort)
to a disruption of every tie that binds us to the
Union.”
Resolved, That wo will unite with all those true
men of the North who in times past have stood by
the constitution and tbe rights of the South upon
these great questions, and who will continue to
stand by and with us upon them in future, be they
W higs or be they Democrats.

We have examined this long sories of umfuliy

as they simply express opinions the subject

which was adopted by the Convention, or assent
U> the grave conclusion to which it came alter a*i
its brave worus upon the subject of ala, ery, ol Cu

organisation which cau be or ought to be made tLo
oaale of a Southern Union movement, by which nil
men at the South may be united to resist the en
croachments or the North, and to preserve slavo
r ga»s and protect slave property in the comniou

r*a«or.s, which we shall ota e briefly, without ar
guraent:
1. Ihe Democratic Party is a coalition of fuo*
tions who do not pretend to any agreement in
pincipie or policy, upon the paramount questions
of the day, which is the only basis upon which a
strong, efficient, naLioual party crgacizition can
I « formed. Its vital functions are deranged—il in
tffl cted witn a disease wo/se than the dry rot, ut*d
pr.served from niter disorganization only by tho
strong cobe ive powei of the public pirn der.
2. Tne Democratic Party us a a tiuna! organize
• tion, is unequal to the exigencies of the t imos, aud
utterly powerless to resist the encroachments of
Northern fanaticism.
8. Tho Democratic Party, a*a national organiza
tion whatever may bave been its proleoMcns or tho
declarations of tbe platforms it has constructed,
never has placed itself fairly and squarely npon
tho compromise ol 165", cover has su taiucd tho
men at tne North cr at the South, who originated
that great plan cf adjustment, and never lias,
Practically, carried out the princ’pies upon which
it whs based, in tho distribution of its patronage.
4. The Democratic Party, if wo may jndgo from
i f s phot history, never will eudoreo tbe Fourth
Rjßo:ution oi lue Georgia Platform, re t fii * od by
ihe State Democratic t OLvention on Tuesday of
Let week, or give auy guarantee to Southern men
tbat it will make any possible action cf Congress
upon tho subject of slavery acau-e for tho d.rso
lution of thi.-Union, or oven require of thoso who
enjoy its cflieo 1 and its patronage an . test upon
this paramount question of tho day. Tms tar it
has demanded n„ such test, and a \ an evidence of
its p licy her after upon the subject of slavery,
we take the following extract from an article in
the Washington Union , headed ‘ Too Democrati
po-ition on the slavery question,” which appe* red
iu that paper on Sunday the 8d inst., only two days
before ti.e meeting of the Democratic Convention
of this State;
“The abstract question of slavery has been the
sul j of earnest and elab.ru'o d scusnioa in tho '
ditt'urent sections of the coulc-deracy for many '
years, but we are unable to discover any evidenoj
of an advance towards an agreement betwixt the !
disputants. Those who aru opposed to slavery
because they regard it as an immoral institution, <
have not been convinced by tho reasoning of those *
who maintain that it viola.es no moral obliga ion 1
or Christian duty. Oa the other hand, the advo
cates of slavery, aB a legal aud moral Institution, 1
have found nothing in the arguments of its oppo- 1
neuts to weaken their original opinions. As to
whether the institution is moral or immoral, cr *
whether it is a social or political blessing or evil, |
the question is as far from i-ettlenient as it was
when the disscussion commenced. Perhaps it 1
would be more strictly accurate to say that the I
only effect of the disscussion has been to strength 1
en the original convictions ofthe contesting par
ties. The Northern man, who was educated to 1
regard slavery as a great moral and social wrong, (
adheres to tho opinion with which he has grown <
up, and whioh isalmo.-t au instinct of nature.
The Southern man, who has been familiar with 1
the institution from his childhood, and has been t
taught from his earliest recollection to regard it as
entirely consistent with morality and the leach I
ings of the Bible, still cherishes Ihe same senti- |
ments. We think it may be safe'g assumed that an 1
agreement of opinion on t'-e subject between Aort/i
trn. and Southern men is an impossibility ; and in <
looking at the dangers involved in the. question, and
in seeking Jor the means of avoiding those dangers,
it is justifiable to act upon the assumption tkit ail 1
heps >f ever effecting such ag eenUnt is impossible.
“It we are right|iu assuming that the North and
the South can never harmonize on the abstract
suljdot of Blnverv, it follows that • here can be no such
things as national parties except upon the bests of ad
entire exclusion ofthe subject from their political
creeds. No mathematical proposition is more trus
than ‘.hat the only basis of patty organization is
agreement amongst those who enter into it upon
tho sabjeots which they recognise as belonging to
it creed. They may differ as widely as possible
as to all subjects not embraced by the party creed,
but to be harmonious inside ot their organization
they must have common sentiments, and stand
together on a common platform. These trntha
wiil command ready assent, and they demonstrate
ihe proposition that no party embracing members at
the North and the South can be national or harrnon ;*
ous in its organization which df>es net exclude the
question of slavery from Us oreed. It northern meti
insist upon ingrufiing upon tb*ir »arty creed tl e
doctrine that slavery ia amoral or political evil,
they raise an insuperable barrier against a hermo
ni us association with pou*hern men. Inlikeman
tor, if southern men insist on making if pat t of
then- party creed that slMviry is morally arid politi
colly ri' ht, they thereby cut off nort trn men from
political association with them. 'lhe necessary result
is, that, wdhoul t le ration of differences of opinion
a*? to the abstract question ors’av ry. parties are ne
ceesarily seoteonul, and cannot possibly be. national.''.
Thus the Washington UnioDj tho organ and
mouth piece of the administration, proposes that
tho National pemocra’.lC party, should, in future,
ignore the subject ofslavory, blink this “paramount
question of the day,” arid accommodate its plat
forms to suit the views of Freesoilersand of Bouth
ern men. Admitting that it docs not the
views of a large portion of its party, still It has as
much right and as good opppftnnityjto know what
will be the policy of the Democratic party npon
the subject of slavery as Howell Cobb. We
quoted its remarks, to show how ludicrous mid
how absurd is tho idea that the Demo
era ie party ever can be made the basis of a South
ern Union movement, qpoß the fourth Reioiation

and sustains a Federal Administration, which (not
to enumerate all the substantial grounds of obj c
tion whioh wo hav* »o i ,) is opposed to the aoqn -
sition ot the Island of t ur>a, aud to tho admission
of Knnsas into this Uaiou as a slave gtfta, if man
agement can prevent it,
fl. The support ct the Democratic party of the
Union involves a proscription of every sound man
at tho North who stands outside of its organisation.
T* The support of the D*muorrtlo Furty, cr cf
any other National Party, which recognise* u
N rtheru element of Free Sod or abQ.ition, iu

policy ofthe Georgia Platform of 155'). Mr. cobb

[We give place with cheerfulness Vo the follow
ing communication from two of the gentlemen of
Put j*** IU inUrMt Ve apparent.—Kse.
Wuniu a few weeks past, the attention ot the
puHio has been osiled to the tact ofthe discovery
of along and very perfectly preMrved PtefciioUn
inecription. Thie inscription was found upon
the lid of s sarcophagus d ainterred at Sidon on
the 19th of January iaat, in the course of exeava
troua undertaken with a view to finding treasure.
1: ia in twenty-two tinea, each line containing on
an average 48 letters, written continuously. Not
tong efier this discovery, the oorreepondiug secre
tary es the American Oriental douiety received
from Dr. Henry A. DeForest, of the Syrian Mia
aiou ot the American Board, a manuscript oopy of
toe ini-ort tion. Auother oopy wss sent to the
Albany Institute, aud waa very promptly engraved
under the auspices of tbat association. A oopy ot
this eugraviug was published in the Uuited Statee
Magazine for April 16. Tne original copyiet ol ihe
iusor piiou ie understood to have been Dr. C. V.
A. Von Dy ok, missionary es the American Board
in Syria.
Some gentlemen connected with the Oriental
Society immediately made tr ala in reading the in
scription, aud came lo results which they put in
to tue form of a Hebrew transcript, and communi
cated’ with copies of the original, obtained
;'l ro “? h lh o courtesy ofthe Albany Institute, to a
mb f r ot ‘he moat prominent Hebrew echol

more ancient form of tbe Phoenician obaraoler, the
parent ot the Hebrew alphabet, and aa waa to be
expected !r m lue views now generally entertained
ot the I'hceeicau language, nearly iud.ntical with
tbe Hebrew in words aud lufieclione.

New Haven, tue Kev. Dr. Jeuka, of Boston. Mr.
gesti-ns, coinciding with the Interpretation indi
CHted in the transcript which had boen communi
cated, so (arms the general tenor of the inscription
is ooocurued, and proposing conjectures which
may prove to be important relative te obscures
passages in it. Here it is proper to observe that
porti ns of the inscription, of considerable length,
presont no difficulty to one acquainted with the
Hebrew; while other portions are quite difficult
to be interpreted, and cau be read, at present,
only cor jeciuraliy. It must also be remarked, that
the similarity ot some of the Pb« liciau letter* to
one another, tfives room for suppoeirg that tie
copyist may not in all cases have distinguished the
letters which make tho correct reading ; and that
there is some reason to suppose that the stone cut
ter may have mado occasional mistakes in the
originui lettering, As a whole, however, tho in
scription bears marks of having boon correctly cut,
and well copied.
The geuueruen who first took this matter in
nand in this oouutry, are pursuing the study cf
the inscription, aud expect to rtoeive from Syria
the results of a re exatni cation ofthe original,
which, it is at derstood, will be made by the
American missionaries there. Copies have also
been eeut to Europe, and doubt less some of the
ab est Oriental echo ars cf Lhe old world will soon
propose readings of ihe wnoie inscription. A full
statement of the latest result obtained is intended
f>r tho forthc miug number of the Journal of tho
Oriental Society. But, meanwhile, it haa beeu
thought best to publish an interpretation, which

To tha translation of too inscription a* given
above we append the following marks respect
ing its approximate age. other points of inter
est in it.
As regayds the ago oi th® ibstrlptlon, it is to be
observed, in the first place, that the Sidonians had
an era from wllie they date their autoaomy at
rather a late period, beginning with 111 B. C.; that
all the autonomous coins of Sidon which have been
preserved, with dates, are dated from this era ;
and that tae numerical aignsfor the date* on
coins, us on those of Aooo and Amcdhu*» «orres
pend to certain signs on our inscription, by which
as we suppose, the year of the King’s
roign is indicated* In view of thei4eoircum*tauces
one m’uiht ne disposed to count the year 14 of the
inscription Irom B. C. 111, making it* date to
B. C. 97. Bat they do not restrict us to thig in
clusion, and there are reasons so; V e^v Dig the
inscription to be muoh ancient.
A comparison v,f ti*e teller* with those of the
inscription* of Cyptua oollected by Tooocke, to
whi Jfi Gcseuius assigns an age not long poulenor
: to Alexander, shows our inscription to be paleo
gruphically older than these at least not at all
To this is to be added, that one of those
of Cyrus reads, “To E-muniyed, 4 *
giving ua the same nam* as tr>*t oi the king on
wfiu.-*e sarcophagus our inscription is cut j and it
seems not unlikely that the same person is re
ferred to. This identification, and the ooueJusion
our paleographioal argumont. ia reudered
more plausible by a statement which we find in
Pbe» iian fit lofy, that a uerson nanru d Tonnes
was iuj.de king oi the Siaonitns, in the time of
Artexerxes Ocbus, about B. C. s6o,in consca ienoe
of a revolt trom ihe Persians; or Tibnath, it will
be remembeied, is the name given in ihe inscrip
tion to tho father of Jhe iatter'King K rauniyeci.
The general bearing of the inscription, too, ia no«
su. h as CvU» would expect in * monument of a king
who was subject to the or the Ueleu
ci< 80 ; or whose individual reign began, as might
be supposed trom g«reumatanoea above mentioned,
only uni yea; aue? * declared autonomy ot Sidon.
It appears, at present, most probable that
this interesting inecription is aa old as the time of
Alexander the Great.—Future research wits prove
it to be much older still.
The historical oonten'cs of this inscription of
course vive it value, ft gives us the name of 8
kings of B'ldop, of one line of descent from father
to sun, eucceeding each other; and it tells us of
publio edifices baiTt and founded by this dynasty.
The connection of this dynasty with persons al
known in Sidonian history, is the great pro
blem before us. The inscription affords us a
glimpse a’so of the government wielded by these
potentates—showing that religious and political
elements were mingled together in it.
The particular deities who were the object* of
worship are also named : Baal and Ashtoretb, the
deities o* Bidon and Tyre in the most accent times
ol which we have any record, (see 1 Kings, 11:
81; 11: 88;) and Esmun, a reoognised divinity of
the PLosuicisns.
The inscription also present* a view of the Btate
of the departed, which is of much interest lor com
parison with tb* representation of Shoe! in the
Hebrew Scriptures, as, tor example, in the 14th
chapter of Isaiah. With respeot to the language
of the inscription, the following examples of 113-
brew words oceurriug in it may be given : bon,
son; melek, king; leber, grave; tnushab, resting
place ; mamteketh, kingdom ; also, the pi oral sign
of Hebrew, m, as in Tsidonim.
The name of deities are traceable in some of tbe
names cf persons mentioned in the inscription, as
E&muniyed and Amashtorelh, in accordance with
the usage of all the ancient nation* of tha East,
From the translation above given, i. will be seen
that thesnbstance of the inscription consists of
dire improcation* against any one who shall in any
way violate the repose oi the deoaased King.

The New Yor ie Herald of Sunday contains the

th*y are worth. Our own impression is, that the

Fhiladklfbia, Jane 9, 1855.
In my hnrriedly written letter yesterday, auifl
oieut space was not devoted to the American Cath
olic quesiion, as presented by the appearance and
claim of the JLoaiaiaua delegation tor admission to
the National Council.
As it ia confesaedly an importadt question, I
must be pardoned the recurrence to it, and the
more eapeoialiy a* it ia my purpoae to embody, to
aome exteut, the opinions so ably elaborated by
the prominent speakers on the occasion.
It 1 am oorreoiiy advised, it waa argued that it
was the claims ol the Papal hierarchy which neces
sarily imparted to Protestantism a political ele
ment, and that (it the hierarchy) being a political
corpora ion, animated by political designs ct a
more comprehensive character than that of any
other political structure whatever, it could only bo
effectually opposed by political action; that tho
laity of the church are not members of the church
—a fundamental dogma of that church being that
it (the churoh) was composed solely ol the hierar
chy ; that the priesthood alone constituted the
corporation, and that the laity were mere vassals,
without voice or influence iu its councils; that
there doubtless was a spiritual character in the
hierarchy, in the Benso of haviDg charge < f routs
—the worst ieaturo oi the s a out—ua by It reli
gious sanctions were invented to obtain power over
the bodies and temporalities of men ; that the spir
itual was blended with the political element, and
that as tt e so. mer waa the pareDt of the latter, it waa
alway superior lo it, ruus into it, pervade? it, aud
imparts lo it all il* authority; that the fundamen
tal, all pervading principle was that the Roman
Pontiff was God’s vicegerent on earth, over kings,
princes aud all political corporations whatever—
over all nations aud people, claiming, by diviue
right, allegiance, loyalty* «uuy&e titular control off
all temporalities; that it va*>, thoruiore, poliuca.
in the strongs t Bouse ot the term, aud that to give
potency au i effect to these cia nis tbespiriiual
thunders of the Va.icau are invoked, aud are ever
ready to be ponred onion the heads ot the disloya
and rebellious recreants; that hence the necessity
ot a political organisation like the new American
party, to oppose th s formidable political po*er ol
the Chnrcb of Rome, ever at work to undermiut
aud to get the ascendaucy ot car instilations,
<fec.; that the two groat poltt cal parries have
beeu mere tools iu tho bunds of ho papists foi
the attainment of their end.-; that the formation of
the American party, therolure, wus necessary lo
assert the rights of PioiestustisTi, which neither
of the old parlies dared lo do ; that the American
party did not ast-ort the e rigi t* or oppose the do
sign of the pap*\l hierarchy iu tho character of
religionists, butaa AmericanCititenfl—the politic*:
element of Protestantism being alone made use cf;
that ProlesUutism as a tailh of the Bible ter tl e
soul is one thing, and us a political element of tho
Stalo, which ordains that every muu shall be per
mitled lo read aud interpret tho Bib'etor himself,
and n»t to be lo cod to receive aud believe only
what tho priest prescribes and orders, is quite
another thii g ; thut the political element of Pro
testantism was esseutial both to civil and religious
freodom, as the latter eon.d only be secured by tho
former, and that the American party have no de
signs against the freo toleration oi the Roman
Cutholic religioi , as contemplated by tbe genius ot
our institution.-, and as guaranteed by the oonsti
tutiou of tne United S ates and of the several
8 utep, <&o.
This imperfect sketch of some of tho arguments
employed, must suffice lor the geuoral outline of
the debate, which ah are agreed constituted oao ol
the richest intellectual repasts with which tho
Grand Uounc.l has boon favored since the com
mencement of tho session.
FIFTU DAY.
PhiLADAiRuiA Juno 9—B P. M.
The National Council have done nothing impor
taut lo day, exc pt lo adma the Louisiana dole
gates, and reject finally the Catholio sot.
The Committee on Platform w.li sit until mid
night, and then be ready for tho Council on Mon
day, when action will be bud, and h-» slavery
qwestiou will be settled. It will bj npnn the
following busis:—Tho Nebraska bill will bo ul
lowed to stand, and tho oompro.nise will
not bo restored—in place ot whioh uli Territories
will bo settled by people who will make their ow
laws, and elect ail their tffic.r.s, without any in
terforence by the general government, except to
appoint judges, marshals, &c., as is now done iu
the States of the Union. This will ond all diffi
culty, and must be satisfactory to the North and
the South. The Council on Monday will adopt
that portion of the platform.
Bftiker’s defeat was owing to several causes—
first, his address, which attacked freo sobers and
secessionists; second, it is pretty well settled that
George Law will be the candidate of trie American
party for the Presidency, and it was deemed bad
policy to have the President of tbe National Coun
cil come from the same Stale as the future Presi
dent ot the United States. Mr. Burker himself is
perfectly well satisfied, and has acted like a pa
triot.
Washington, June 11.—Vespasian Ellis, Esn., ,
editor oi the American Organ here, writes to that
paper trom the Philadelphia Convention. He says
that so fttr no concession* have been made by either
the extreme North or South, but tour resolutions
of a national character have been adopted by tho
committee cm the platform.
Now fork and .New Jersey are conservative lu
their views, end Pennsylvania is not ultra. He
believes that a conservative platform will bo adopt
©d by a respectable majority.
A correspondent of the New York Herald , wri
ting from Philadelphia on Sunday, the 10th inst.,
has the following speculations in reference to the
adoption of a platform by the Know Nothing Con
vention;
The absorbing topic here is the platform—a mea
sure replete with so much c ifficulty that its eaily
solution is most anxiously, and, 1 had almost writ
ten, impatiently awaited. To the fall extent,
of my observations—and they have been
ral a« wall a* critical—l am inclined tp t j io h©|j e f
that no platform can or will beereqV*d W n on which
the entire party can or will bL&riU Tho distinctive
dogmas of the North and Somfi—the very antipodes
of each iu positive cfo*mn,d» —cau never be harm >
nizad and convened into a unity of sentiment ai.d
opinion, and the effort now being so s dalously
made by'tfip intelligent committee appointed in this
behalf must fail, as ul\ similar ones have done, iu
the proposed recomriliatiou of such uncongenial,
incongruous, aud opposite principles. I am
aware that the hope is held out to the oar, and
sought to be impressed on tho heart, that the
thing itsolf is not only perfectly practicable,
bat that oonaidereble progress ha- positive
ly been vasde towards the attainmoi t—and in
’ti* stated that tho great and disturbing
question of slavery has already found au impreg
nable constitutional deleuce, and iu terras not to
be ntiannderatoo.i aud misinterpreted, ’ll* truo,
the plank Os the platform on this vexed question
has, in tne committee, and at tho suggestion of the
District of Colombia, found a constitutional basis,
and for the time being rests secure by a largo
vote. But what of that t Does that plank suit
Massachusetts and New England generally, aud,
perhaps on* Os two of the Western States! Who
wi‘l affirm that it does # If it suited, Vfiy, as is
now being made, was an effort
day te convene a caucus ou so morrow evening to
take into oounidera iem the threatened eu.Touch
ment of “ slave power* 14 and toeneooiut* the New
England ulticn*' am on the subject f
Rely upon it, no oompromiso can or will be
made* and the upshot oi the whole business will
be,that all the dist-enliesta lo a national constitu
tional party will have leave to quit, whilat those in
ita favor, heng freed from all such entsupliug
alliap.o**,' aad aided by th* national men of New
England, of whom “more than seven thousand
can be feuud who hav* not bowtd the knee to
Baal,” will Qonstitute tho great constitutional,con
servative American party.
Tut deliberations of the Convention will present
no striking or interesting features nntil the report
of tho Flattorm Committee, when may be expected
a most able, eloquent and angry debate.
The South it most bbly repiosented, and I but
record the common sentiment when 1 make the
statement.
The Noith is also ably reprosentad, bnt not
generally by men of such marked ability us charac
terise the general Southern delegation.
A da t or two at most, and the great body will
have embarked in the war ot angry words. Tbe
strife is inevitable, and muet retail in the entire
(Tfotaion of all maiconlenu and lac 1 ions from the
body. Tiie dividii.g qoe-tions must no mat aud
the issue joined. **ke cannot serve God *n;j
Mammon.”
I'll JL A DEI THIA, JuU<’ li, 1855.
I have watched wan intense iutererd the vanour
combinations here formed, and ‘.no distinctive
f ecLjonai dogmas euunc..ued byte j ;veral cl q o>,
wuo occupy ad tho.r leisure hours u score, cau
cusses.
That three diatinctivo parties arc in tho field
is a fact that wiil not be controverted by auy ou<
cognisant of the facia in ihe c-n , aud that thest
three parties aie the representative* severally of
the dinanotive doc r ncs—
First. Tost the K**ust.» Nebraska act f-L .11 be
repealed, the Fagmve Slave li w annulled, the
power rs Congress over hiu'.ery i.. the D: trie. O;
Columbia ooucoded, and the further admission o.
slave States iuierdic ed.
Second# The fad recognition of the Kant at-.
Nebraska ac , and the admi.-s;on of us a
slave State; no interfe.oncj with save yin the
State or Territories ; the unquestionable righto
transitu; tbe ceasing to ugude the question in
Congress, and the general and explicit acknow
ledgment of the whole question, in all its phases
and Aspects.
Third. The constitution, and the laws enacted
under it—the rights of a'l being defended and
protected, aa contemplated by its framers aud
founders—no sectionalism b» ing recognised by it;
the doctrine of non intervention with the rights
of tbe several States; aud the cotioossion that,
under the constitution, tbe onfo requisition to be
demanded ofthe Territories seeking admission as
States, shall be tbat the State constitution shall be
republican in it* form of government.
The first section embraces all the factionists of
New England and the North-West, headed by the
notorious abolition!-t, Wilson, of Massachusetts.
As intimated in a previous letter, the preliminaries
for a general abolition caucus have all beeu aojus
ted and arranged, and their ultimatum is boidly
to be enunciated and demanded. This faction has
not tbe entire sympathy of all the New England
States. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont
interpose, to some extent at least, the national
standard aa a barri -r, and will be slow to recognise
the lana'ical ultimatum. The former SLate espe
cially, in the person of Sperry a d his worthy com
peers, will battle, if not effectively, at least patri
oticaliy, for the supremacy of the constitution and
the law*.
The second embraces the extremists of th©
South, who, though few io unmoor here, are nev
ertheless urgent in their exactions.
The third constitutes the great bodv of ibe na
tional conservatives, and are the legitimate repre
sentives of the principle* and dootr nea of the
great American fraternity.
As previously intimated, no affinities exist
whatever between tbe first and the other two aec
tions. Whilst the two latter may readily coalesce
and stand on tbe same national platform, the firat
must, from the very necessity of the case, be cut
adrift, and i's connections effectually severed from
the national body. That it will so eventuate will
not be cont'overed here, and the sooner it shall so
eventuate the better it will be for the body politic,
is the current and popular sentiment in the con
vention.
The committee on the platform are aedu'ously
employed, and will be prepared, probably, to make
their report in the mornmg. Depend upon it,
the platform will be national in the whole and in
ail its parts—in the geueral and in detail. In it
no countenance or support whatever wil be given
to Massachusetts fanaticism and lo!ly. National
ism i* large ly iu the ascends u’; and maugre the
wily mHchi*tttri n9of the unscrupulous fanatic aad
pseudo philanthropist, will continue to constitute
the Btapie of the ac s and deliberation* of the con
vention.
The Mftifurm.
Philadelphia, June 11—fl P. M.
The following resolutions respecting tho slavery
question have been adopted by tho platform oom-
A ‘esclotdy That the American party having arisen
upon the ruins and in despite ot the opposition of
, the Whig and Democratic parties, canuoi bo held
in any manner responsible for the obnoxious acta
’ or violated pledges ot either; that the systematic
> agitation of (he Bluvery question by thoae parties
, b*» elsvated Bootional hostility into a positive ele
ment of political power, and brought our 1» stitu-
Uoha into peril. It has, therefore, beeo no the im
perative duty of the American party w lutcpoee
lor the purpose ot giving peace to the oouatry and
perpetuity to the union; that, us exponent* has
shown, it is impossible to reconcile opinions so ex
treme as those which separate the disputants; an J,
as ihsre can be no dishonor in submitticg to ihe
laws, the National Counoil has deemed it the best
guarantee of common justice and ot future peace
to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon
the subject of slavery, as a final and conclusive set
tlement of that subject iu spirit and in Bubrtinoe.
Ittiolwi, That, regarding it the highest duty to
avow these opinions, upon a subject so important,
in distinct and uuequivoca' terms, it is horoby de
clared, as the sense of this National Co moil, that
Congress possesses no power uudor the o mrtita
lion to legislate upou the subject of slavery in the
Slater, or to exclude auy Slate from admission into
the Union because its constitution does or does
not recognise the institution ot slavery as a part of
the social system, and oxpre?sly pertormittod any
expression of opiuiou upon the power of Congress
io establis i or prohibit slavery lu any Territory,
it is the souse of this National Council that
giess ought not to legislate upon tho subject of
slavery as it exists iu the Distiictot Columbia, and
that any interference of Congress with slavery, us
it exists in the said would boa violation
of the spirit and intention ot the oomuaot by which
the Slate of Maryland ceded it to the United Siatea,
and ajbreach ot the national faith.
Dame Rumor hath it that L.vous, ot New York,
had tho honor to propose Hub measure, which, the
same garrulous o!d Dame asser s, was adopted iu
the committee by ayes seventeen, uoes fourteen.
Philadelphia, June 11— 10 P. M.
The two resolutions sent in to day constitute
the platform on the sui j mi of slavery in the gen
eral sense. It will be added to and construed iu
sabstgttpe as follows
To the d al resolution wi'l be added this pro
vision, via.:—Subject to the decision of the proper
courts having judicial cognizance thereof, and push
amendments us shall be needed to fully carry out
•he r spir t and more f ally give to the inhabitants
of the Territories the entire power of local Hove
reign'y, as the sume iw possessed by the people of
tho States.
Auer ihe second resolution will be ad ’ed tho
following, giving the fcobeme of the American
party for the solution of the problem ot Union :
Kisoliei, That it is the opinion of thia N&t oual
Council that the people of the Territories of tho
United S'.utes should posse.-s as full aud ictual
Hovero gnty within tho same as tho people of the
States do; that Congress, iu passing tue organic
law for the organ zition of a Territory, should put
therein uo more provisions than will meroly au
thorize tho people of the Territories to act for
themselves; aud sh 'uld empower thorn to create
their own scheme of government, limited to a re
publican character, authorizing them to determine

p ss H 3 jurisdiction us all such judges do ii, the liko
Courts of tho United Slaves in the S'ate*; that

iou iu Congress, they huviug noithor Senutors
nor R preaeutativoa therein, but only u aiuglo

W nei t.aß, tho constitution of tho United States
contains the provisions following, being tho third
clause of the second aectiou of article four there
of, v ; z:—“No person held to servos or labor m
one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into
another, shall, in consequence of any law qc regu
lation therein, bo discharged from such service or
labor, but shall be delivered up ou claim of'ho
party to whom such service or labQY may m due.”
Resolved, Thut this national council recognise tho
full aud binding obligation ctf this provision of the
constitution upon the S*y,es of this Union and tho
people thereof, and it is due to the cont-Motion
und to good faith' t u one State towards anotner that
tho proper laws should exist to fnlly, fairly an t
honestly party out the said provision in letter ami

the States should fully, honestly and with alacrity

ion of the constitution, and render at all timesand
in all places tho said provision operative and effec
tive, for the keeping in good faith of one Slate
with auotker, and for the rendering of ju-ticj and
the protection of property ; aud this National C
oil pledges itaeli to all just aud proper measr.res
to socuro that this provision of the const itutio\i HU <i
tho laws made in pursuauco thoreof shall ' rt6 <j u |y

The platformas sent was adopted , n the commit

will clear the skies and brighten prospects. Every
thing now 1 oks well, and iho friends of tho Union
are iu high spirits.
As onr readers donbtleßs take a very lively in"
to re at in tho proceedings, and desire tosej tho
fullest report, we subjoin the correspondence of
the Now Vork 2'ribune:
Philadelphia, Monday, June 11,1856.
The mooting this morning amused itsoll with
expending a great dual of indignation and
inont over the reports of the Council in the Tri

morning were read, and a variety of in-asur ~H sug
gested tor discovering the leak. Rrolhe 1 : B.rkor

on this score. Members ' < oo should be certain that

ally the Convention appointed a committee of

I am glad to have the testimoney which se /oral
gentlemen gave in the Council to day to the fa,th -

are obtained are not yet reduced to a and
it would not have been strange if in ’ # ne infancy of
the art some errors should have V yoen made, but
thb morning’s proceedings iu ~y vindicaed tho
value of the and its qq jro pructicsbidiy.
I congratulate The Tribap;* on its being iho first
journal in the v.orld to '.[,augurate this new means
ot extracting life

Nothing «1* 4 of imj or a.iCO was done this even
ing. The ‘.jounc'd is waiting for the Cornmi'.tee on
the Ph’/rorm who are s ill in labor. It i« uu-ler-
tt.ey have so tied the Slavery pari, but are
not willing to report it by itself. 1 predict that
this wi I r.e the most ultra Pro Slavery, tyrannical,
gtggiug platform uu this quon ion ever prupOfed to
or adop ed by auy po iliCui Couvtu ion of the na

end wiil arouse the Free States as with a whirl-

I .shall hopo to send you tho resolution* to night
by telegraph. The Council haw limited d<sba’% io
five minutes tor each Speaker unioi-s by ,-peoiul

probably will boa late and vioient sitting.

Clement, Dal., and C. D. Deahler, N J. as to fi st
clause. Mew York alone of tho Free Slates went
for the majority report, towa was not represent
ed. Minnesota Territory went with Mew York, as
also the District of Colombia; and these with the
united South carried the majority report in Com
mittee.
In the Council Mr. Mallory of New York
thought no discussion was needed. He asked in
sultingly if any man there woula uot succumb to
the wiU of the mi jority. Gov. Gardner or Muss,
took up the gauntlet, and declared that mother
be nor hiaSlate, nor* majority of the Free Staten
would abide by tho Resolutions firat reoor ul.—
The partty could not carry a village in Massachu
setts upon them. He charged the M. Y. Djlegation
with deserting the North, and of even going so i*r
in donghfaceism as to complain to tne S uth that
they wore conceding 100 much to the North.
Gov. Gardner made a bold, earnest apeech, pro
testing against the resolutions of tho majority.
The Council adjourned to 8 o’clock this even
ing, when the debate will be resumed. A Jon&
and violent discussion is anticipated. The ruo>.
lotions of the majority will undoubtedly pass.
The minority resolution is as follows:
Absolved, That the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise was an iutraotion of the piighiod faith of
the nation, and that it should be restored, and if
efforts to that end shall fail, Congress should re
fuse to admit any State tolerating slavery, which
shall be formed outofany portion of the territory
from which that institniun was excluded by that
Compromise.
The 10>f o’clock Counoil is still in session. A
doll discussion is going on, on resolutions other
than those relating to slavery. These are unobjec
tionable, and meet no very serious opposition.
Slavery will be up again, and more dir ctiy, to
morrow. A greut debate is expeoted. The s’mth
show indications of waveri g. They never found
the North so determined and bold before.
The debates in the Kdow Nothing Convention
this morning were quite uninteresting until about
noon, when the *• Committee on the Platform’*
were called upon lor a report. The Chairman
'hen made a partial report ot the por.ion that had
been agreed upon, which gave ri-e to a debate so
exciting that the acssh n was prolonged till long af
ter dinner hour. No decision on a tingle issue ot
the platform has basil reported. There was no
regular session this evening, the time being deves
ted to caucusing.
