LETTER FROM HUK J. WLEMESS,
Mtfining hie position on tie Ajntncan
BrramiJLK, July 12, 1855.
DeaA fiot *—l have not beloct had time 10 an
your 1 otter iu reiaiion to* tbe tew order of
Euow Nothings, nor Lave 1 now at nand ail the
Bi*Uatic4 which are necessary to a toll elucidation
oi the eabject. Very poNiibly, in toe opinions I
am about to advance, L had myself in aui&g
emsm to joarseit and aoiye of old friends to
whom you abude. At all events, there is no im
propriety in asking you to r ad Carefully, not lor
the purpose of contradicting or huding lauit, nor yet
for the purpose of implicitly believing, but to rea
son, to consider, to rtfl.ct. If there is truth in
what I write, let no p.evions prejndica dim its
brightness—-lftheTe is enor, let no personal par
tiality prevent its election and exposure.
The violence which ha= heretofore charactirixed
•he dißcas3ions on this subject, is unbecoming at
all times, and particularly »o upon a question in
volving so much about which men may reasonably
<1 fter, I know not why I should think less 01 any
one ior d.Nenng with me upon Know Nothingism
than upon Democracy. He has the right to the
maintenance of his opinions, and if he is honest
no just man will denounce.
li is proper for me to Bay that I never in a
n.now Nothing Lodge bat once- 1 -that I do not
iuow a single sig'n r pass word, and could set
to day obtain admission to any Council in the
}u*ie,'unless it was through the intervention of a
!riend ; but I endorse their platform, and propose
10 detenu th nr principles. They aretue principles
4 Washington and Jefferson, and what ia oi
von more importance, they are the principles oi
oe Constitution.
W'heu one of the seven wine men of (Jreeee
visited the Court oi I'eriander, ol Corinth, he was
asked, “What is the most period popular govero
oeni f” lie answered, “that in which tho law has
•ip auperior. l ’ This answer, which contains a
whole volume of truta and beamy in a single
-i:e, ia th* foundation cf the Know Nothing creed.
i/ney ,ißWiv it in the lining the b&pis ol their
jjtoiilti.ii.- r■ --I ■ r very pro-babiy the
inswer or the Sage not been remembered, but
easd*', relUetiou, and an earnest patriotism L d
'hen to the same result. Accor lingly we find
that every member is in peratively required »o
.cknowledge the law as e-stab ished by tho Consti
ution, to be supreme. Obedience to its mandates
s inculcated as the highest duty, and disobedience
s certain to be followed by expulsion. Thus far,
1 am Bure the most violent will agree with me,
that there is someth'ug to applaud.
The remaining portions of the platform may bo
disposed of as satisfactorily, I think, if not as
oritfiy as the first. Americans shall rule Ameri
ca—iu other words—ior I mean to deal in no cquiv
cation—no elusion—to cover up nothing, dodge
lOthing, deny noth: g. Iu other words then, that
.alive born Americans shall fill all offices of politi*
:ul importance under the government. I do not
ucaa mere money offices such as President of a
dank—Kailroad, or o her corporation, but every
office which gives to its holder any influence on
one legislation of the country. These are the offi
cos from which wo are pledged to exclude Foreign
jra, and this is the position I am prepared to main
.a n it is not denied that we have enough, and
nore than enough competent Americans to fill
every office wo have to bestow, but it is urged that
uch a distinction is odious and unjuHt to our
oreign population. How is it unjust ? He has
eeu deprived of nothing by his emigration here.
In his ow* land he did not even have the right of
utfrage. His properly was never for an hour
ecure. His personal liberty was constantly in
langer. Ho could not write or speak his senti
ments with umpunity. He was ground down with
axes'. A press gang might at any time tear him
rom tho bosom of his family, or an oppressive
landlord turn that family houseless upon the
vorld. All this is changed. Wo have given him
ho right to vote. Wo have given him peace. We
lave given him security. We have given him in
iependonoe, and now because wo will not give
aim tho right to make the laws by which wo aro to
>0 governed, he forgets in his arrogant ingratitude
Gie hundred blessingH we have showe od upon
unn, and repays the safety of tho Altar by malig
uaut aspersions of the Ministers to whom ho owes
is protection. It i« a delusion to talk about tho
iglits of foreigners. Privileges is 4ho proper
word. Wo were not bound to extend to thorn the
ightot BuffragcH. Wo were ot bound to give
tiem protection, liberty, peace, independence.—
All thoso woro voluntary gifts. It was philan
thropy in its broadest sense. Nor is tlioro one of
the millions who flood the oountry who would not
have exchanged his own laud for ours even if tho
Constitution had denied him the privilege of vo
iug. Tho other advantages he obtains would have
been sufficient, and more than sufficient to have
made him anxious for a shelter beneath the wings
oi tho Kagio. Whore then is tho injustice f He
as all he asked, more, much more than he would
nave been willing to take. But it is argued that
xelusion from offico fixes an odious brand upon
him. Without stopping to remack .upon the ab
urdity of such a position, it ia»guilicient to say
that the brand is already fixecLby tbe Coustitu
tion. It is upon him now, and will remain upon
him until that instrument is torn out from tho
archives of tho nutioo. The second Section Ol
lie firht Article pFe.Hchboft' that no one shall be a
lieproHeulativo in Congress who has uot 11 been
sevon years a citizen of the United States.” He may
nave been twenty or.more years a resident of the
country before his naturalisation papers wore taken
out, qnd yet lie must remain seven years longer
ooforq hu can ooenpy ilie post of a Representative.
Here is a distinction and a broad one. It is idle
10 talk about degrees of infamy. If exclusion ior
afe renders a man infamous, exclusion for a term
of years must have the same effect. Both alike
resiippo oa difference between the native, and
lie foreigner. Both have the same operation, and
both, whether justly or unjustly, give a preler
ei.ee to native born citizmß.
The third seCLioa ot tho »ame orticlo proncribee |
hat no person shall be a Senator who has not
‘ bcon nine years a citiaen ol tho United States.” |
flore the distinction is broador. As the office j
•ses in importance—as tho danger arising from
gnorance, or preconceived opinions becomes
greater the more careful tho framers of the-Con
Mitution were to seouro the services of Native
itiaons, until at last in the highest of all offices
Foreigners are excluded entirely. In tho first
section oi the second article the Constitution de
arcs that “ no person except » Natnral born oih-.
ayn” shall he -- e.igible to the office of President,
and tho twelfth amendment doclarea that no for
oieuor shall be eligible to the offlep of \.co Fresi
eM It thus appears that. foreigners uro abso

the only too offices wbloh emanate direetly from
the whole people, whose incumbent are elected by
the wholo people, and who are wianespocul man

What stronger distinction is it possible to make
between the Native, and the foreign bora citizen 1
In comparison with that, how poor aud how weak

uot unaware that it is oustomary to rid eule tho
idea of danger from foreign itluence. Wears
exnltingly pointed to the fact that there are but
three millions of foreigners, while there are twen
ty millions of Natives. Those figures are not ac
curate, we wll lako them as they are given
us. It must be remsmbered that of this three
millions of foreigners, a very large proportion are
oters. It is the unvarying lsw ot emigration that
much tho greater number of every body of omi
grants are males. This was the case even in Cali
fornia when the emigration was only from one
portion of our territory to another. All of ue can
call to mind eases in which the hoad of tho fam-ly
alone is a foreigner, while the wfe and children

Nat ves ou theoe- sns books, while the voter—the
rffioieut and controlling power, is set down as orn
foreigner.
Let us iook at the other side: Os the twenty
millions of Americans, about one-balf are tomales.
This disposesef icn millions. Ot the remainder,
at least two thirds are children and boys too young
to vote. That disposes of near seven mi'lions
more, and brings the number of voters down
much nearer to an equality than is at all agreeable,
or man our oppoaen s are willing to admit. These
'act's have no; i een unknown to, or nnma'ked b
Politicians, there is not an a-piriog Demagogue
in all the land who has not, timemd again, made
hiiuseif conspicuous as the advocate of Foreign
ors. William U. Seward, witn his cold, Calcula
ting, heartless selfishness, is th) loader in this
race of adulation to whatevor is of foreign ex rac
tion; and many better meu who ought not to be
named in the same breath are hastening in his
toots'eps. Kven the veteran soldier whose life
had been passed among ballets—whose nerves
bad never been shaken in the dead.iest conflict,
when be was a candidate, quailed before the vast
ir.fi tence these strangers had acquired, and tbe
“foreign acoent” became aa masic to his ear. T*o
Eubiic acta is the recent history of the country ex
ibit still mors strongly the dangers of tbe foreign
influence, aud admonish us to check i. while we
have yet the power.
In the autumn of 1549 Father Matthew, an Irish
Priest, whe had acquired great celebrity as a Tem-
Se ranee iectnrer, paid a visit to the Ucited States.
I!e came to Washington and a resolution was at
once introduced to allow him the privilege of tbe
floor of the Senate. Tfcis was opposed by Mr. Cal
boun on the ground that it was lowering the dig
nitv of the Senate, aud cheapening its honors. By
mjumlt and others upon the farther ground that
he had while in Ireland indn’ged in denunciations
of slavery and taken part with the abotiliouials
against the South, which I considered an unwar
-antsblo inte meddling with matters that in no
way concerned him. Notwitnstanding these ob
jettons the resolution passed by a decided me jo
rity, and Father Matthew took his seat upon the
flxjr of the Senate. Not long afterward lien. Pil
low, who bore upon his person the marks of hono
rable wounds recently received in the service of
the Kepnbiic, visited Washir.gton, and found, to
his mortification no doubt, that tbe place which
hod been occupied by a Latholia Priest was iuac
cessibleto him, a native born American, and late
a Maj or General in the wars of his Country. Nor
was he alone a sufferer. Every officer who served
in tfce Mexican war, uot a member of Congress, or
an existing State Legislature, was in a like manner
excluded, with perhaps the single exception of
Qen. Scott, who had received a speoiai vote of
thanks dnring the war of ISIS, which of itse f en
titled him to admission. It will not do tali me
that respect for the cause of temperance produced
this astonishing result. Tfce Congress ot tbe U. S.
are not remarkable as disciples of temperance, and
that very day there were perhaps not six Members
of the senate who did not drink wine at dinner, or
brandy befbre.
The Iri»h vote was the controlling cause—the
dt sire to conciliate that large body of naturalized
citizens ) bo looked opto Father Matthew as asu
perior beiDg. If was this which gave to rhe Fcr
eigner and the Catholic an importance above and
beyond that of the soldiery whose b.o. d had been
poured out like water on the piams of Mexico. It
was this which indu ed the Senate to forget what
it had been—to throw aside the severe dignity
which has so elevated them in the minds of men,
and to ex hange the character of Koman sages tor
that of servile syoepbants. There was a lime when
that high body was composed of sterner etun.—
Tnere was a time when such a proposition wonid
have been treated with the scorn it deserved. But
that was before the Irish Exodus. Now if we
venture to question foreign merit it must be none
with baud "breath.” If we venture to deny any
foreign demand, however imperious, we are threat
enod witu political annihiiaUOD, and yet lam told
wr are in no danger from fore gn influence. When
the Senate of the United Elates has bent before

of th* Benate, and xn eager crowd of BepuUuans

that tried men’s soul, gazing in sorrow and siJenco
upon the d.agracefai spectacle. There ia Warren,
Green, Bumpier, Marion, Lee, Bheiby,
Wayne and a hundred others ol the mighty dead.
Tney remember that it was German cannon that
tLinn-d their ranks a: Mud Fort and Red Bank.
They remember that German shouts rang over the
field of ; Braudy wine. They remember that Ger
man oayoneta were dimmed with patriot blood at
Monmouth. They remember Chads ford, aid
Lh. w’a house, and many another field where they
met the hired mer enaries that Ruglanu’s gold
had brought across the Atlantic to fus.en inauuele»
upas a peop e who had never injured them, and
remembering tins they turn to tach other with the
mournful inquiry, “nre heseour sons i are the tra
duious of the re volution already iorgottea I” Ah l
S4.es of departed Patriots, there is an engine of
<w*aswlMMl afrrtklimj ur d»y you did
dream. There ate a few hundred thousand
G'fman vote's among us, and every Demagogue
who a*pires to the Presidency, and all the Batte
liiestnat glidimer about him are vieing with each
other in base concessions to German pride and
Geeman feeling. But the picture is a sickening
one and I turn from it. God knows it was bitter
enough at the time, and I have no wish to dwell
upon it anew.
Not sutit-fiei with the honors heaped upon Kos
suth, Congress determined to extend to him more
“materia aid.” Mr. Seward, discovered that he
was the nation’s guest, and introduced a Bill as
suming his expenses as a National debt. The ac
count turned out to be Bomewhat extravagant.—
This plain republican martyr to liber y o ly livod
at the rate ci s£oo per day. Consuming in the
twenty-four hours Champagne and Burgoudy
which cost mo e than it would take to, feed a re
spect&ble family in North Alabama, fora twelve
month. At that very moment there were bilis
upon the Calendar of the House for the relief cf
destitute widows and orphans, whose husbands
had died in defence of the 'ouulry, which Con
gress ha 3 not had time to attend to even to this
day. Not so with Kossuth—he drank his wine—
eat his pa&ei de fu%B grae, and Congross instantly
footed the Bill. Do you ask the reasou i I answer
widows and children have no votes. Tho foreign
ers who were to be conciliated by adulation of
Kossuth, had many. Others will say that it was
not Kossuth but his cause—that ho bad been bat
tling lor free lorn and they wished to mark their
appreciation of his effoits. As a tribute to the spirit
of Liberty it might have been well enough if we
had not been so lamentably deficiewt in paying
that tribute to our own citizens. When General
Jackson had driven tho British army from New
Orleans, and rescued tho oountry from one of the
most terrible dangers with which it was over
threatened, he was arrested in tho very hour of
his triumph and heavily fined for tho rigorous dis
charge of his du y ; and yet Congross permitted
moro than a quarter of a century to roll away with
out acknowledging the wrong, or attempting to
repair it. Ho was a Native American —there ws«
no foreign sympathy ia his behalf— no foreign
voters to conciliate. When Gon. Houston return
ed to tho United Stales with tho lauroln of bon
Jaoiato fresh upon his brow, bringing an empire
in his hands to lay at our foot, no Congressional
invitations celebrated his arrival. No bills were
passed to -pay his expenses. Ho was a Native
American and nothing was to bo gained by l&uda
tions of his chivalry or his patriotism. When Gen.
Soott had concluded one of the most wotdorlul
campaigns ever recorded in history, he was recall
ed almost in disgrace, and his arijiy which he had
found untrained,militia and converted into veteran
heroes, was transferred to one ol bi& subordinates.
Yet Congress offered no word of sympathy, ap
plied no balm to- tho wounded feelings of the
matchless soldior. He was a native American and
ihe voice of condolence was mute. Had General
Shields received similar treatment a howl would
havo beeu raised from one end of tho continent to
the other, and half tho tongues in Congress would
have grown weary lamenting bis wrougs.
With these facts before mb, and ail know them
to bo facts. I must bo pardoned so»- maintaining
that then* is danger from foreign influence,
and the sooner it. is boldly root tho better.
It is gravely urged eban injection to the order
of Kuow Nothings that it originated at llio North,
and ought therefore to bo regarded with suspicion
by the South, and this reason I havo aoen advan
ced by such mou as Toombs and Stephens of
Georgia, and Preston of Kentucky—Gontlemen
whom I know personally, and for whoso tu:ents,
attainment® and moral worth I havo vory great ro
spect. To my mind it iB an evidence of the weak
ness of any cuuse when men ol fair abilities resort
to such fhmsy means to support it. Ido not kuow
how the fact is, but I shall c moede that it originated
iu New York, and then I shall proceed to show
that Lhero ia no e»>ot upon tho Continent where
the people havo suffered moro from foreign emi
gration or where they have more imperious roa
sons for arraying them elves against it. By refer
ence to the annua! report of the Governors of the
Alms House, I find that there wore in the Now
York Alms House during the year 1858, 2198 in
mates—of those only 685 wore Natives, and 1668
Foreigners, eupporlsd at tho expense of tho City.
An j now I prOpc e to use on our side the argu
ment of our opponents that there are only 8,000,-
000 Foreigners to 20,000,000 Natives. 'According
tc that ratio there o ght to b about 7 Natives to
one Foreigner in the Alms House. Whereas we
find more thun 8 Foreighners to one Native. No
wonder that a people who are taxed to support
such a body of paupers should be the first to set
about devising means to get rid of them. Let us
pursue the record—the Bellevue Hospital, in the
same City, there was 702 Americana—4lß4 For
eigners; now the proportion rises to nearly six to
one. There out door poor—* hat is persons who
had some place to si op, bat nothing to oat and
nothing to make a fire—9s7 Native Adults, and
1044 Children—Blßl Foreign Adults, and 6229
Foreign Children, or children born of Foreign
Parents. This number were relieved during the
year with money. Os those relieved with fuel,
there wero 1248 Adult America** and ItOl chil
dren, 10,865 Adult foreigners and 17,857 children.
But the record is not yet complete—let us turn to
the sialieticts of crime. In the oity pri ons there
were during the year 6,102 Americana —22,229
Foreigners. I pass ou to an abode even more
gloomy thau that of prison cell, and call your at
tention tc thoso whom God iu his wisdom has seen
fit to deprive of the light of reason. In the -Lu
natic Asylum there wero admitted from the year
1847 to 1858, 779 Americans—2Bßl Foreigners.
For the year 1858 there were 94 Americans 698
Foreigners.
These tables might be made more complete by
adding Organ Grinders, Strolling Mendicants, and
Professional Beggars, but of theso I have no relia
ble data, and therefore pass thorn with the sing e
remark that I have never seen a Native American
who belonged to either class. These figures are
far more conclusive than any language could be to
prove tho necessity of arresting the tide of emigre
tiou. Let every American impress them deeply
upon his memory. 42,861 Foreign paupers aud
invalids, 2881 Lunatics, and 22,229 criminals
taxing the industry, and blighting the prosperity
of a single City. In that list of crimes is embraced
murder, rope, arson, robbery, perjury, every thing
which is damning to the character of the individual
aud which Is dangerous to society. In our section
we see but little oftbe evilsof emigration—oompara
lively few come among us, aud those are generally
of tho best clasEos of their countrymen. It is not
as a State that we suffer meet but as an integral
part of the Republic. The crime, vice, disease,
des‘itution and beggary which flows in with every
tide of emigration ct •us but little ;it is through
their political action; in their capacity of voters
ihat the curse extends itself to us. When thou
sands upon thousands aro carried to the pells nd
made to vote in favor of any man, or any parly
for a shilling, corrupting tho ballot box, and ren
dering liberty insecure, then we suffer—then the
law of self-preservation gives ua a right, aud
makes it a duty to interpose. With such dangers
thickening around us the memorable order of
Gon. Washington should be upon every man’s
lips: ‘Tutnone but merioansongnardto night.”
Iu time of peace your public officers are your
sentiuelp. Put none on guard whoso bosoms do
not swell with exulting pride at the mention of
Bunker Hill, of Monmouth, of Saratoga, or of
York Town. Put none on guard whose national
traditions are not confined to our own common
wealth. Put noue on guard who oan dwell by the
hour upon the eloquence of Daniel O’Conuel, but
have never heard the uame of Patrick Henry.
Put none on guard who turn with cold indifference
:rom t .e story of Niagara, or New Orieane, to
boast of Marengo, or Loipsic, or Waterloo. They
do not love your land as you do—they will not
watch over it with the same absorbing interest.
Oppression, not choice has brought him here, aud
though ho may feel a oertain amount es gratitude
lor the shelter he has found, he still looks back to
the green fields of bis childhood—he remembers
every stone upon the highways—he reads the his
tory of his native land, and partakes in the pride
of its great events—in his heart of hearts he feels
that there is his home, and the e his holiest affec
lions are garnered up. Fear, necessity, common
sense, may keep him here, but he loves not the
land of the stranger—cares nothing for its former
glories—sheds no tear over its former disasters.
5Y itb w hat reverenoe can the German regard the
name of Washington when he remembers that his
pa hway to freedom was strewn with the bodies
of German mercenaries! What exultation can
the Briton feel in the fame of Jackson when he
remembeis that it was won by trampling the lion
banner in the dost f It is not in human nature
that they should feel as we do, and we are false to
ourselves when we put them in power, or give
them the direction of the law.
Perhaps no party in this country has ever been
the subject ot so much inveettve as the American
Party. ’ All the depths oi the language have t een
sonnded to fl-h up degrading epithets to be ap
plied to men whose ain consists in loving their
own blood something better than that of the
stranger. Practices which are in daily use by
other parties suddenly become heinous stns when
resorted lo by the Americans, and Editors in the
excess of their seal not untrequemiy rnn into the
most ridiculous lnconstslencie.. I have seen one
column oi s newspaper fl .ed with denunciations
of the secret fe tore of the older, while the next
not only purported to g ve the principles ot the
party, but even the verj lorms ot initiation. One
thing is certain, either vnose lorms were lorgeries,
or all the indignant denunciations of secreqy with
which we have been favored were hypocritical
pretences in no ways creditable to those who em
pio)«d them. Ati parties observe more or less
secrecy in relation to cer.ain portions of thair tac
tics. Tbs secrets of s Democratic Caucus are as
profound as those of a Know Nothing Council,
and the will ot every member is more comp.etelj
subjected to tne control of the majority. A Know
Nothing, alter his party have made a nomination,
may abandon the order, and then rid himself of
aii obligation to support it, but a Democrat who
has once taken part is a Canons is held in honor
bound to abide the decision of that Canons, no
matter how distasteful it msy be. If the term
“Dsrk Lantern Party” was applied to the moon
light plottings of those who manufacture in
Caucuses ana Conventions Candidates without
consulting the will of the people it would be much
more appropriate. The State and the National
Councils having both removed the injunct on of
secrecy, that reproach is disposed of; m point of

There is another branch wf the question whioh
I approach with more reluctance than will enable
me to confaider it disposawmately. Without bo
longing to any Chui ch,l grew up in the Muthodist
persuasion. It was the faith in which my Mother
lived and died and I could nht change it if I would.
Among the earliest books-whicn jell into my
hands, I found account# of Cat one persecutions
of the early Proteatants. Or men, women and
chtidnn thrown inio dungeons, stretohed upon
tne rack, tortured v,ith thumb screws, and finally
ourned at the stake, for ue crime of worshipping
God as reason and conscience dictated. Then
came the “order of Jesus” With the Inquisition
iu its train. For centuries every page of history
is blackened by the iniquities of the Church
whos«< Pontiff arrogantly cUfinjl to be tho imme
diate representative of an l who has
not hesi luted at kli times to exercise powers iu ac *
cordauce with that otaim. Subjects released from
obedience to their kgul perjury,
incest—every crime made ’'liniai if it tended to
the advancement of the cburß*k. I know it is said
that these powers are now cxerciaeAor claim
ed. Where has Revo* ?. ioaed vn ou they,
had now a* to ttn/orce it. V r tiL* lathe use of the
Confessional, if the Pri V * ao u.t stilL claim
he power of Jbrg*. cute 4u « aiuuitsd, or to
be committed ? I have searched in vain tor any
authentic document which shows that thoy have
ever abated one jot or tTtlo of the pretensions
which characterized them in other years, and
characterize them now in other lands. I have vis
ited two countries in which the Catholio religion
is es.ablisned by- law, and I found in both the
same intolerance, to same bigotry, tne sain hatred
of tho Protestant as of yore. Even the dead bodies
of Protestants are dcfiied the right of burial id* a
Catholic grave-yard. The massos aro taught to be
lieve that tho rotting coipses of the faithful would
be polluted by the neighborhood of a orothor who
had in life a different creed. In Spain an asaein
blege of moro than fifteen Protestants lor the pur
pose of religious worship is declared an unlawful
assembly, and aj the remonstrances of England
have failed to aneliorate this detestable tyranny.
What wo see exisb'ffg elsewhere, what wo know
has always existed wherever Catholics had the
power, we may surely dread for ourselves, without
boing liable to the charge of excessive timidity,
particularly waou we see tho rapid stride# they aro
making to and influence among us.
From 1841/ to 1850 tho number of Catholics iu
tho United btates doubled, and now thoy exceed
two millidus of souls. At that rate it will nottuko
them lone to acquire all the power thoy want, and
when acquired they will not fail to exercise it. In
the very nature of things the Catholie must be a
persecutor. When he believes that every Pro
testant fs on the high way to bell—when he believes
that it is charity to torture, and pioty to murder
thoso whom he looks upon euemies to his God,
it would be adsuid to expect mercy, or lock for
toleration. > «
Another great danger we havo to dreed is the
provalence of tht mischievous dogma that tho Pope
is superior to the Constitution, aud can absolve
his flock from oaths to support it. 1 know how
bitterly this is denied; but it American Catholics
do not acknowledge it, they aro widely different
from theif Drethren elsewhere History is full ol
instances of kingdoms laid under interdict, mon
archs oxoommunieatod, and a whole people doomed
to purgatory for somo real or imaginary fault cif
their rulqrs. We all remember that a King oi
Franco was assassinated by a PriosUit tho bidding
of his supb'riors. Wo all remember that a King ol
England was compelled to walk bnrefooted, in
sackcloth and ashes, to the tomb of Thomas A.
Bcckot, and ttiat tho groat Bruce wnndorod for
years as an outlaw, Uunted by assassins aud blood
hounds, for daring to punish a«traiior to his coup
try within the p r ecinets of a Catholic Church.
The best way of judging a tree is by its fruits,
and ihesoffruits are familiar to us a'l.
It is objected, howover, that the Constitution se
cures to every mail the right of worshipping God
as ~e ploas, and that in proscribing Catholics we
aro guilty of a violation of that instrument. Not at
all. The fame* Constitution which gives thorn tho
rights jf conscience, secures to me also the right of
voting as I think best. It does not compel mo to
vote for a Catholic, any more than it compels nio
to vote an Abolitionist. One may be jaßt us sin
cere in his belief us the other, and both be equally
dangerous to the country.—Of that each voter
must judge for himself. There ia r.o- proposition
to obange tho Constitution, none to pass a law in
consistent with it.* Tiie American party undertake
to show, precisely as tho Whig and Domocrat.c
parties undertake to show tor thorn elves, that it
is safer for the Union, safer for religion to place
none but American Protestants in offi .e, and they
leave it to their countrymen to docido upon reason
aud argument how far they are r ght, or how iar
they are wrong. Wo do not propose to disturb
their public worship;—wo do not propose to do
claro an assemblag ty% f Catholics unlaw ul, but we
claim the privilege of voting to suit ourselves. I

[Aftef his brio! allusion to his being a candi
date for re-election to Congross from the Nashville
District-, and his course during the last Congress,
Gen. E -llicotfer proccodod to disousa the princi
ples of the American Party as follows :]
In every new canvass, there are new public
questions not heretofore discussed. In this can
vaas, it is not to t>e disguisod that the most promi
nent and exciting question of the day is, that
which is called the American or “Kuow Nothing”
question. Upon this you are entitled to and have
probably oome to hear my opinions to-day. Upon
this, I mean to give you my conclusions, a*:d the
facta and reasons upon whioh they are founded,
with that franknoss and fearlessness which I trust
has ever characterised my actions as a public man.
When, a few months ago, tho so called “-Know
Nothing ” movement suddenly loomed up in the
distance, and seemed to bo passing from city to
city, and from State to State throughout tho
Ur.ion, the first impression made udqq my mind
was, that it was nothing more tnun one of the
most roinarkablo novelties of tho age. It ia bat
frank to confess that my attention had beon ab
sorbed in other public questions. I had only hoard
casually, that it proposed eotne sort of opposition
to foreigners and Catholics. This did not much
prepossess mo in its favor, as 1 know that we had
but few foreigners or Catholics in Tennessee, aud
among these 1 know some very estimable mon
and old neighbors and personal friends. But thou
the question forced itself upon my mind, what can
have given riao to all this commotion ? Can there
be no causes for bo extraordinary a movement! Is
it objectless, penseleßß, unpatriotic—as some have
represented it ? My habit has been carefully to
come to my conclusions upon all public questions.
I determined at once to look into the published
principles and to careful'y examine tho state of
fads, whico was supposed to give rise to this new
organization. This, I did ; and I have been
amazed at the state of facts whioh has grown up
around us, without having specially attracted my
attention. I havo beon astonished that I bad Dot
before contemplated a condition of thiDgs at onoe
so formidable and ao imminently threatening the
integrity of the Constitution and the safety of the
Union. Such has been the strong impression
made upon my mind, that I am now the ardent
advocate of the principles of the American organ
ization, and with tho best energies of my life, I
•will horoafter urge upon my countrymen—l hope I
can do eo without respect to party —to arouse from
their lethargy, to examine the giving rise to
the organization* and to sustain, befo o it is too
late to save ourselves from danger, prinoiples
which commend themaelves so much to the patri
ctism of the American people.
They proprse prompt antagonism to two
powerful, recently developed, and rapidly aug
menting forces, which it is now seen are
shaking the pillars of the Union to thrir very
fonndations. They have had their origin in
recent most extraordinary movement# of Euro
pean governments and populations towards this
country, threatening its r-peedy subversion ; and
in the still nr re extraordinary qpen move
men's of the Roman Catholio Hierarchy,
including the Roman Pontiff, twenty five Ameri
can Archbishop# and Bishops, and the whole
Jesuit Priesthood, to make the Catholic Church
with a re-avowal of all its dangerous tenets of the
middle ages, a part of the political power of this
government.
These facts, and others bb startling, too numer
ous here even to cHe, you will find ample evidence
of, in full official American autistic*— in an
nouncements m*de on the floors of the British
Parliament by Lord Clarendon, and published in
the London Times and other British organs; in
the insinuation# of the Emperor and public press
of France ; in the exposures brought to light by
Senator Cass and itbers in our own Congress, and
by out ministers to France, England a; d Spain—
and in the open avowals of the Roman Catholio
prelates and public journals in the United State?.
These things I will no - endeavor to make dear
to you from the au ? .hei t:c and unquestioned facts
Iwill lay before you ; and I ask good c tizens of
foreign birth among us to look at these facts and
say if they are not as much involved in them as
I am.
The immigrations foreigners to the United
States, wnich prior to 1800, was only from three
to five thousand a year—and from 1800 to 1810,
7.000 a year—and from 1810 to 1520, 11,000 a year
—and from 1820 10IS80,1 ,000 a year—and from
1580 to 1540, 57.000 a year—ana from 1540 W 1850,
167,000 a year—ha 3 since 1850 risen to the enor
mous number of from 800,000 to 500,000 a year,
and will very soon, no doubt, reach a million a
year, spreading over country like the locust#
of Egyp*, carrying with them all the wild and
dangerou# theories of European politics, to fcarrass
and agitate the country wnerever they locate.
The great bu k of thi# foreign popula ion ha#
settled in the Northern States—it now numbars
in the Union frem 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 —and at
the pre.-ent rate of increase is adding five mem
bars of Congress annually to tfc# already oyerehtd
owing political power of the North rgainst the
South. It brings with it strongly pre convinced
anti-slavery feeling#, and fuses readily with the
free soil element, furnishing suffLuent additional
p puis ion for a new irec State every vear. The
census shows that there were in 1860 but 6,000,000

Ihe dissolution of the Union with ali its horrible
train of circumstances would bo the almost iuovi
tab e result.
The greater portion of this immerse annual
immigration is new Roman Catholic. This Catho
lio populMiou m iho United Slates has more than
doubled from 1840 to 1850, and since theii the
exodus has just faiily commence:!. It was ovor
1,100,000 in 1850, ai\d is now believed tonyuiber
over 2*.0i|0,000. It is the most numerous of ali
tho Christian denominations in the world, ni m
boriug ovor 165,000,000 iff the whole wojd.—
Tho Pontiff at Romo has recently sent his Am
bassador of State to the United .Slates, cu a
strange and mysterious mission, and suddenly wo
aoo the twenty five great church dignitaries, tho
Catholic Arch bishops aud Bishops cf the
States, boldly sanctioning the propagation of all the
dark and'dangerous doctrines which characterized
that church iu the middle age -. VYe find thorn
tampering with political affairs, overlooking and
reprimanding American Beuators, ptopagatiug the
ideas of a union of church and State , and he ut
most intolerance ot all religious and governments
Dut those oi the Komanish Church.
But before I cite to you tho startling facts I
am about to adduco, allow mo to ask your atten
tion for a momeu to a remarkable pontlcal pre
diction of a distinguished British noble, tho Duke
of Richmond, lately Governor General of Canada
ou our Northern border, and a deadly enemy t >
the United tStutes. {Speaking of this government,
ho Bays:
will bo destroyed; it ought not, and will
not he permitted to exist.” “ The course of tho
French revolution, and subsequent wars and
commotions in Europe, aie to bo attributed to
its example; and so long as it existb, no prince
wiil be safe upon his throne ; and tho sovereigns
ot Eu.opo aro nwaro of it aud they havo de
termined upon its destruction nnd havo come to
a*i undemanding upon this subject and 1 uvo
decided otf .tho means to aceomphs!i*4t; aud tfiey
will even ualiy succeed, by eqxTxuaioN rather than
conquest ” “All the low and Vurpius popalauon *
o. tne ditferont n&tious irope wiU be carried
into that country. It is, and will boa reoeptuclo
for tho b«»d end disafFec'od population of Jfi’.trope,
when thoy are not wanted for soldiers, or to sup
ply the navies; und tho governments of Europe
will favor such u course. This will create aam plus
and nnjonty of low population, who
easily em,U*ct ; and they will bring with them their
priutipus; and in nine cases out of ten udhero to
their ancient and former governments, laws, ruun
ners, customs, and rolig.on; and will transmit
them to their posterity ; and in many cases pro
pagate them among tho natives. Those men will
become citizens, und by t.iq constitution and laws,
will be invested with the r:gh r .s of suffrage.”
“Hence, discord, dissention, anarchy and*eivil
wur wili ensue; and some populur individual Wiil
assume the government, anti restore * order, and
the sovereigns or Europe, the a id
many of the natives wiil sustain him. The
church of Romo has a design„upou that country ;
und it will in time ba the tfctablished religion, a d
wiil-aid in tho destruction of that Republfc.” “ 1
have conversed with many of the sovereigns and
princottof Europe, and thoy have uiian raously ex
pressed these opinions relative to the government
of the United States, and thoir determination to
sabvert it.”
Now mark the prediction of that alien enemy,
and note its romar kable coincidence of. opinion
with that of one of America's most profound s: ges
aud sta eameu. Here is the language oj Thos.
Jefferson, as written in his notes on Virginia moro
than fifty years ago:
“ Every species of government has its specific
principles. Ours perhaps arc more- peculiar than
those ol any other ia tho universe. Ifr is a comp<J
sition of the freest principles oi tho English con
stitution, with others derived from natural right
and natural reason. To the 0 nothing can bo
more opposed than the maxima ot absolute mon-i
archies. Yot from such we are to expeot the gr a
tost number of emigrants. Thoy-will bring with
them tho principles of the governments they leave,

“low,” “excitable, bad and dißuliecled” popula

a coincidence between this and Mr, Jefferson’s
opinions. From “absolute monarchies” says
Mr. Jefferson, “wo are to expect the greatest num
ber of emigrants. They will bring with them the
principles of the governments they leave, imbibed

their language, they will transmit to the children,”
<fej. Again the Eugli*h Noble says : “Hence, dis

lion# and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent,
1 distrac ed mass.” “I have conversed,” says the
1 Duke, “with many of the aovorcig s and princes
Europe,;” “they have come to an understanding on
this subject,” “they will, eventually succeed by
subversion rather than conquest.” “The church ot
Rome” “will ir time be the established religion

As corroborative of what sort of population this
! foreign immigration is composed, allow mo to read
I a brief extract of a letter written by a distinguish
ed Tenn‘?sEee D mocrat when in London in Au
’ gust, 1842—thirteen years ego, and when he could
have had no idea of the rise of the “Know Noth
‘ ing” organization in 1554-’5. Dr. Thornes A An
derson. of this btate, then in L »ndon, with a view
. to Bell Tennessee lands to emigrants bound for the
j United States, wrote home as follows :
1 London, England, Aug. 28, 1542.
u Dr. W. B. Norton —Dear Sir; I have found
, it almost an impossibility to sell lands in Tennes
> see, to the emigrants from this country. Nine
tenths of them have the insuperable objection that
2 it is a slaveholding State. Their prejudices in fh:e
re?pect are deep and rooted. They go to America
with the fierce and fanatic feelings of tne O oon
* - neli’e, the Buchinghams, and the Thompsons, on
the subject of slavery, to -swell the ranks of the
’ Abolitionists there. I haye converse i whh hun
dreds of the emigrants, going out from London
j and Liverpool to the United States, and find them
f r the* most part an ignorant people. In fact,
e having no oorrec. ideas or knowledge of our 3jßte:r
of government —ot our social and political bta : e
* —of our civil and religious liberty. They have
t heard of America as a land, where every one in
the non siaveholding Btsies does pretty much ae
he pleases ; aDd where, in the blayeboWing b-.ates
the negroes work in chains for their wnite masters
j and are subjected to starvation and constant
stripes, and almost every cruel treatment. Thu#
® impressed, fully nine tenths ot these emigrants go
4 * to America, thinkmr and feeling they have amu
® tion to aid in abolishing slavery there.
“The most intel igent oftbe emigrant 0 from this
e country wiil make good citiura, and our naturaii
zation law?, as to them, are sufficiently guarded,
1 and restrictive, but cer ainly they ought to be re-
D vised and so modified as to put all the ignorant
4 class above deecri ed, on a much longer probation
u th»n is now required, that they may have suffi
l 6 cient time to become more enlightened, and well
jf acquainted with the principles of our government
* before they are admitted to the eminent privilege
0 i of voting.
in The fruit# of that immigration appear in the fol*
a- lowing official figure#. The census tables show
jy that there were in 1850 living in the Northern
id btstea of the Union a foreign born population ol
h- 1,845,892. Os these, 1,575,188 were living in tht

But I will hurry to the details touching the.

The Dpke of Richmond hopes they will “ subvert

An unprecedented Roman Catholic migration
has Suddenly sot in from Europe to America.
Tho Popo’s Nunoio, Bedini—the poli ical Ambab

tho Temporal Power cf the “Pope—he wiTo has
never heretofore been sent to any but a Catholic

sion nothing was known, except that ho bore xp
autograph •letter from the Roman Pontiff to tho
President of tho United Hiatts. Tho Rom 11
Catholic dignitaries in tho United Hta os about tho

the temporal power ot the Pope and tho further
XUdaciouß doctrine of a*union of church and Btate
—public presses wero cstablitthed, and
by the twenty tivo Roman Catholic Archbiships
and Bish'„pß iu the United Hides, kud they began
to touch that “Republicanism is a mischievous
dream,” unless connected with the Roman Cat hoi. 0
Church—that protestautism horo has no other
protection,than that given by the trovernuient,
that it is hore -y and cr.mo, and that it the govern

have tho protection of neither God q,or man—that,
tho Romish Church has ever fcTeon intolerant of all

becoming a fearful power in the politics of the
Union.
Now for fac'.s in detail : To go no furthor back,
in which their influence is believed to ha to deter
mined Presidential conteffß, jt has again and
again been boldly charged that the Roman Calho
lie vote was given to Mr. Pierce jn 1962, upon an
understanding Roman Catholics were to be
-MmemDored- ana b&uefj v d* *lt is remarkfiile
that thi# haa-uevor been dotllbd.-' T have myself
seen tho charge made again and aguin in the public
proBS at Washington, and I have aeon tha Wash
ington Union, the organ of th§ Administration,
challenged to deny it; and yol I havo looked in
vain lor any denial in that paper, or any 01 her
having authority. However the fact may be, the
remarkable result i , thut so soon as tho Adminis

aud I btlievo two or three of tho Foreign Minis

all the subordinate employoes in thoStato Depart
moot, except oun, are foreign Catholics appointed
iu tho place of American citizen*, and oven this
ono exception would havo beon removed, it is said
but for tha influence of promiuo.it citizens of
Washington who personally represented tho cubo
to tho President.
Mr. Pierce was inaugurated in Maroh—in tho
July following, the Pope—ever watchful ot the
oventfe prom mi g fin ugmcrftation of his power
—sent bis Nuncio,here. Brownson’s Quarterly
Review, tli* most powerful organ of Catholicism
ill tho United States, had emp'o>ed th# following
language of the American people—mark it:
“Are your free institutions infallible? Are
they founded on Divine Ki#ht) This yon deny.
Is not the proper que.-iion for you to disouss, then
nvt whether Iho Papacy ba, or bo not compatible
wrh republican government, but whether it bo or
be not ieundeebin Divine right? If the Papacy
be founded iu Divine right, it is supreme ovor
whatever is founded only in human right, and
then your ihbtitutions should be made to liarmo
niz'3 with it; it with yc-ur institutions l l 1
The real question, then is not tho compatibility,
or tho incompatibility of tho Oaihotio Church with
uemocratio institutions, but is tho Catholic Churoh
the Church of God.
Bottle this question firs . But in point of f aot t
democracy is a nußohiovoua dream, wherever tho
Catholio Church does not predominate .to inspire
the peep'o with reverence, and to leach and ao
cur tom them to obedi nco and to authority.”
Other Romish Journi Is in tho United States
had used as bold language, but Brownson’s Q iar
erly was tho leading organ. . Ho was soon layered
with a let er of approval from the Roman Pontiff.
Another letter, a dressed to him by Francis Patrick
Eenrick, Cathciic Biehop of Phil# loiphia, pro .
ceeds as follows: “After the close of our Council,
1 suggested to onr vonerabie metropolitan the
proprie y of encouraging you, by approbation and

of the Roman Church n the United BUtes—and
the approbation ot Mr. Brownson’s writings, thus
formally expressed, hue never beon withdrawn,
but, ever since, baa been published on the cover of
every number of his Review, *>s an endorsement
of his views by tho Roman Catholic clejgy of this
country. Amvng the signers of the letters arc
Archbishop IJugues and Fitzpatrick, who are well
known for their ultra opinions. What are tho
Beniiments now appearing from lime to time in
tho new numbers of that Review, bearing the

Who undertook to justify this power upon the
ground that ihe people and governments hud sanc

“This hue of argument would no dou! t answer

that those max ms on which M. Gosselin relies for

“ Moreover) we confess that we are extremely
averse to defending thing# in the histofy of the

Now mark this—Mr. Brow son has declared in
hi B view—“l never think of publishing any
thing iu rogard to tho Church, without submitting
my arti®les to the Bishop for inspection, approval
aud endorsement.”
Such is the tone of the whole Catholic Prtasand
Clergy. - In Mulch, of last yeur, what did you wit
ness in tho Araoi lean Senate ? Lewis Cass rose iu
his place, aud made a motion looking to the pro
tection of Auiericau citizens when travelling in
foreign countries, iu the:r roligious worship and
the rights of conscience! Ho had ample reason
for this, for the foreign news was then full of
items of religious persecution. He made no ahu
siou to the Ciithoho or auy other religion. But
Archbishop Hughes thought he knew who would
be involved in such legislation, aud he instantly
uiw ut him like au incensed wasp. Ho wroto u
letter to Mr. Cass, arraigning aud aondemuiLg his
motion with a tone of confident superiority and
arrogunce. (See Congressional Globe, 1864, page
882.) He combatted Mr. Casa’ vindication oi the
rights of conscience for American oitisens when
travelling iu foreign couutnes; maintaining that
** external liberty of action according to conscience,
iu all countries :s regulated to a certain extent by
the enactment ot positive laws.”
”Is there,” he a.-Ked, “any practical difference
between the src al intole*aneo which prevails in
your country, [iho Ui itod Stalest where there are
so many religions, aud the legal intolerance of our
dominions [iho Jt’apal States] where there is but

And now lot mo show you what has beon the
of tho Gpthoho Press in the
United States. The Boston Pilot has uttered this
Church and Ntuto sentiment;
“No g >od goverumeut can exist without re

inquisition, which Is wisely for the pro

Heresy sho endures when and whore she must, but
she hutes it, and directs all 1 or ono r gies to its
destruc ion. Il Calhofics ever gain an immense
numerical majority, religious freedom in this
country is «; an end— so say our enemies— so my
we."
Brownsou’s Rovlow, of October, 1852, says;
•*x- o liberty of heisoy and unbelief is not u nat
ural right. All the rights thq secrets huvo or can
havo are derived from tho dtato, and rest on ex
pedieircy. As ihey have, in their character of
sects hostile to the true religion, no righla under
the law of nature or tho law of God, they aro
neither wrong uor deprived ol liberty if the State
refuses to grant thorn any rights akall!”
Again it says, October, 1851;
“The sorriest sight to us, is a Catholic throwing
up his cap and shouting, ‘All hail Democracy.* ”
Again it says: *
“Lotus dare to assort the truth iu tho face of
tho lying world, and instead of pleading for our
Church at the bar ottho States, rumm n tho State
to plead at tho bar of the Church, Us divmfily con
stituted judge.”
The Rumbior snyn : f #
“You ask if ho (tho Pone) wore lord in tho laud

Brownson’s Review pgnin t-ays :
“Wherever the occasion occurred, tlie Church
assorted hor power, not in empty words oulv, but
in cl-.eds, to judge Sovereigns, Kiuga and Ciamrs,
to bestow or to take away crowns, to depose un
godly rulers, and to absolve their subjects from
their oath of allegiance.”
I could give n.any other quotations of this kind,
but 1 forbear. These aro some of tho loading lacts
which have given rise to th * American organiza
tion Its 61 j -els, as I understand them, aro to
s cure tho permanent and prosperity of the coun
try, and the integrity of tho constitution ugumsl
such desiguß. As a means • f doing this, I believe
that the immigration of fore gn paupers and crim
inals into the country should at once bo rest ain-d
—that the period ot na urulization should be
lengthened to ton, or fourteen, or twenty one
years, as may bo deemed best on mature consido
ration—that no be all< wed to
vote till he becomes a citizen, and has been hero
long enough to un lerataud and feelTeally attached
to tho principles of ourgovernment—that no man
should bo piaoed iu public office who feels that be
may bo properly^absolved iromhis oath*bf alle
giance to tiiu government—that no muu who sus
tains the existing abuses,'find who strives tc per
pelua'.o and oulurgo tho already feurfui power of
Catholic and foreign inilu rioo iu the oountry, is
worthy of politics' trust by thoso who aro truly
devoted to tho good of tho country.
1 care noibing about, and muke no war upon the
Catholic religion, as snoh. Bub when n religion
sets itself up a!3 u political power in this Union, I
feel it to be my duty promptly to resist its en
croachments.
Much ot tho opposition to tho American organi- 1

lu 1788, R obard Heflry Lee, of Virginia, organ zed |
a seorot committee of correspondence and drew up .
a secret “ Covenant or League" to resist the Bri 1
tish clamp Act, and otner oppressive acts of the I
British Parliament; and similar committees were i
formed in all tho otber colonies, and all the emi
nent patriolio monos that day belonged to them.
The American arohivea show that tho British 1
Provincial Governors issued their "Proclamations" i
in all the colonies, warning tho poop e against
signing or joining, or in any way aiding or oucaur
aging there secret organisations, and commanding
the King's officers to "apprehend and secure tor i
tr ale cry parson who may hereafter presume to
publish, or offer to othera to be signed, or shall
themselves sign Buch covenant ,” &o. Bat then,
as now, these principles wore never concealed,
because there w. s nothing wrong in them. They
wished rather to make them a» public as possible,
so as to fully arouse their countrymen to the dan
gem which threatened them Irom ab oad, and
which gave riso.to their palriotio organisations.—
But at tin t it was thought most expedient not to let
the enemy know who had signed the league.—
When tho American order was first established in
the large cities, it was probably thought cangcrcu
to be known as members—there was danger of
being maltreated by evil djsuoas J pursons -Inin
passing along the streets and alleys at night.—
Besides, it was doubtle s '’esirable to pre ent as
tar as possiblo it becoming a mere party question
between the two old political parties. XL was be
lieved to be a cause in which d mocrats end wiiigs
should go hand in band, and it was doubtless
thought better to give to ah who approved ot the
principle, an opportunity of pledging ibsmsolyes
to eacb other privately, so that party shou.d havo
nothing to do with it, whatever, cr at least that
the only parties known to it should be those who
were resolved to atand by Americans, and those
who, for the sake of “the balanoe of power,” might
slid de ermine to hold to the foreign and Catboi c
influence. Bo far as mere secrecy is concerned,
there is nothing in it. The President and his
('abinet hold their secret meetings every day The
United B ales Sena e holds its secret sessions every
year. The two old political parties have never
gone into a canvass without their scoret commit
tees and secret correspondence, intentionally oon
ceiled Irom their opponents. Bat I must con
elude.
When I remember that there are among us a few
exeeilent and w nby .citizens of foreign birth, and
Catholios of the Gallican perauasiop—when I look
around upon somi of these, and know them as
ne'g bers and friends, of lorg standing, I regret
the necessity of a contest which must “be unpieas
ant to them, as it is to me. But it is not Buch as
tMty who have ex ited this organisation The lew
meritorious, however, must of necessity be mvol
ved for a time. We know not how to draw the hue
of separation, and this is s matter of rggret. But
this is not a question of mere feeling. It is a ques
tionof judgment, of duty, and of safety to the
country. In the language of one cf Amerca’ most
emihent eons on the'oooasion of another critical
epoch in the affdrs of tho country, I repeat: "1
cannot yield, even to tmd/eelinge, the oauso ofthe
Constitution, the 'rue uocuriiy J the country, and
jhe great trust which we hold in . our hands for
succeeding ages." "Wo must not, we
dare not, omit to do that which, ia onr jugdmont,
the safety ct the Union requires. No regardless
of eon-eqtences, we most yet meet consequences.’
I commit myself to the fortunes and the fate of
theoauße. 1 '“ke mychand among those upon
whom blows will fall first and thickest. I shall
exert my every energy to save the country from
■ impending dangers. I feel that cit zans of foreign
birth living among ns, who will look at the iacte
I have adduced,. should be convinced that they
have a common interest with rue in arresting these
dc gers, but I do not couture to hope that they
will look at them, wilho t prejudice. This is a
question far above party—and I appeal to all the
| true Americana to iay aside mere party feelings,
and vote the sentiments of their heartfelt conv'io
tiona.

of testing iha impartial and thorough training of

exaggerated description ot thct-O' exorcises, they
will simply stale, for tho information of tho pohlio
uud the gratification of absent parents and guar
dians, that they huvo boon much pleased with the
evidence of good iuslruolion and patient training,
aud sincerely oongratuluie the Fqoulty upon Uiu
eminent success of their iubors. Wo think that
the inlerest of the public, increasing to iho close,
may bo regarded us evidence of the grulihoutioit
uiford.d by the examination. As a mailer ol pe
ouliar interest to the committee, and worthy of
notioe, tliey wiil slate that those studies which re
quire the mo it vigorous thought uud protracted
application of mind, were the ones in which the
olaHses generally displayed the greeted proficiency.
Such was the case iu Logie, Rhetoric, Evidences of
Christianity, Mental aud Natural Philosophy, Ge
ometry, Trigonometry, Astronomy, Chemistry,
und I’hyaiology. This last soioncs has been but
reoontly introduced into the course of study, aud
is rarely found, wo believe, arndng the text boctka
of our colleges. But wo think that few if ni y of
the soioncas are moro important lo be learned, bo
oause its principles concern our wollboingJtnd a
know edgo of bom ia always useful.

which adorned the interior of tho chapel during

the whole ol tho large uud splendid collection of
paintings by the young ladies, to be seen in the
studio of Prt fesaor Taylor, could not huvo bcou
exhibited to tho admiration o. the public.
On Monday and Tuesday nights concerts* woro
given by Professors Carr and Taylor, in their
respective departments of vocal and instrumental
musiO. Both of theso cof.oerts wore excellent* re
flecting groat credit b th upon the pupils aud
their accomplished instructors.
On Wednesday night was the usual commence
ment couoert aud truly was it tho climax to the in
teresting musical entertainment* ol tlio wuok.
On Thursday, the Sunjpr Class discharged the
last duly which connected them with the Grille,
,vix—the reading of compositions. Thole were
all good—some bettor—somo best. Tho. ud ce
was plowed—interested—delighted. One if the
youug ladiea gave her thoughts the dross oi a
pcom; an admirable satire upon one jf the great
| follies of the age. But wfi repeat that all w-is
compositions of merit, ' written' la a clour and
graoeful stylo. After the reading of tho composi
tions, followed the baocalanroatd, and awa'dlngby
President Kshois to' hbir'graduatos tho degree of
English Literature Tho address was well con
ceived, and wull aaloulated to. impress upon ’hem
the important lesson—“ What an oduoa'ed woman
should be.” Thus closed the oxoreisCs i f t it
College, iu tho presence of muny friends, purer da
and gnardians, who had anxiously watchod the
evidences of progress and improvement. And
while the younger classes romam to r reive still
lie renewed labors and prayern of llieir faithful in
structors, the graduating elans retnrn to their
loved homos, with minds fashioned lo thought
and filled with tho elements of high accomplish
ments.
In tho afternoon, Professor Sasnett, of Oxford,
delivered the Annual Commencement Address,
the wliolo aim of whloh was to show the error of
the prejont, system of female education. It was a
Hpoeeh of much literary moiit, and showed a deep
and logionl mind. Net many o'! those who I eard
It,"however, will, wo think, admit that ho proved
the i«fly ol the present, ojt the wisdom of the new
scheme. And It is to bo rogro' ted that t ueii talents
as his are employed in this i,n»tu»co in weakening
tho lianls which have conquered, inoh by inch,
the present empire ol tho femalo mind from tho
dominion of ignorance and prejudice. Deloetiva
though the present .system may be ih some re
epeots, it is'yet the great aohievemnnt of tho tgo.
And the men who have built it up arid defendod
it, are tho true benefactors and reformers ol out
race.
Wu mean no disparagement to her Bisters, when
we eay the Madison Fema'e Celiqge deserves much
at the hands of the public. The poor as well aa
the rich sit down to her boards, and she is annual -
ly sending out teachers to call and prepare others
for tho feast of learning. H is indeed a noble
spootucte to tbe pa'riot looking to a higher destiny
for the Slato, to see tho native gem dug from the
bosom of tbe multitude and'plaoed in tho polish
ing bands of onr colleges, and again, us era sea
son, see it corns out the shining brilliant, set in a
new orbit, to shed its light Into the secret and
hidden places of ignoranoo. Would that our f .tti
ers and mothers ware fully aroused to a duty so full
of pr~od resells to families and the Slate, and
would give, without stint, thO'r daughters to these
fostering mothers of ohrisliup education, and thus
advance the cause, not only of learning, but of
God. Having done much in her great mission,
this College can do much more, and With open
arms “lie says to all—oomo.

Mr. Editor: —ln the great political excitement
now existing an.d likelyjo be kept up for Governor
und-Meinbof of Congress the interest of Augusta
aud ot Kishmond county may, for the moment, be
lost sight Os. We hove in this cky many impor
tant inrbrests to be look d alter, as well as an
tagonisms and rivalri-.s from other sections to de
fond ourselves against. It is all important, there
fore, that wo should be represented by our best
men at Uillcdgeville.
Taking this view of the case, tho w iter would
respectfully suggest the name of tho Hon. C. J.
Jerkins, to represent this county iu the BtateSen
ate, believing, as he does, that ho would be elected
without opposition. Gkoboia.

Mb. Edit jb : —“ Georgia," in yesterday morn
ing’s paper, suggests the name of the Hon. C. J.
Jenkins to represent this county in the State Sen
ate believing that he would be elected without
epposition. This I think would be suicidal, aa
whatever the interests of Augusta mty bo, there
arc Stall and National interests which cunnot be
overlooked, and which must be sustained at all
hazard.
Ido not know what will be tho result of tbe
Know-Nothing ” devotions" commenced a short
time since in this city, but it seems to me that
they should terminate in tbe nomination and elec
tion of the above named gentleman to a plaoe in
