Another Speeoh from Mr. Stephens—Know Eothing
ism Expcsed.
After Mr. Stephens closed his speech at Sparta, Mr.
Thomas M. Turner, with the consent of Mr. Stephens,
organized n meeting of the American Party by cal!”
ing A. .J. Lane to the chair. He then offered the fol
lowing resolutions :
Resolved, 1. That the increasing tide of foreign irn
migration upon i>r.r shores, adding as it docs, more for
eign votes annually, than natives to the Electors of this
country—*nd among them many paupers and criminals
—should be a matter ot deep concern to every American
citizen, whether native or not, including a combination of
all to unite in bringing about a change of our Natural
ization laws, and an r extension of tbe period of citizen
ship.
Resolved. ‘2. That the American I’arty is aiming at
an extension not an abridgment ol religious freedom in
this country —that wc may by a wholesome check on
growing evils perpetuate to the latest posterity the right
of botli protes ants and Catholics to woiship God as they
please.
Resolved , 3. That the present an well as former Ad
ministrations are reprehensible in thes ; ght of the .* nur
icnii people for the appointment of so many foreigners to
office, so that now iu all the offices of a certain class in
the gift of the President, more foreigners than natives
are incumbent*.
Resolved, 4. That the eject on of the Bible from the
Common Schools of New York by a combination of hi
crarclts nud demagogues, headed by Bishop Hughes ami
’ ‘he public burning ol tbe Protestant Bible in Champlain,
; New York, by tho Jesuit Tclment show the. American
l people that the dogma announced in Bn nson’s Review,
! a Catholic organ printed at Boston, is not without mean
! mg, viz: Protestantism of every lot in has not and never
■ c;n Lave any rights where Catholicity is triumphant.
Resolved, 5. That the Philadelphia platform, ns adr-p
----: ted by a majority ot the National Conned ot the Ameii
i can Party on ihe subject of Slivery, is not only conserv
; alive, national and patriotic, but pregnant with the very
; best results to the whole country, and of the South in
I particular.
Resolved , C. That no American by birth will be de- j
burred from holding office in this country by the votes ol
ilte American Party on account of his religious opinions,
but we v\.!l not bestow our suffrage's ou any man who
j bold* civil rdiegiance to any foreign ecclesiastical or civil
rover, thus luSfi-ling tho maxim—“ Americans only
j SMALL GOVERN AMERICA.”
t (Mr. Stephens then rose and spoke in substance as fob
• lows :)
Mr. Chairman :—I had not the slightest objoetion ns 1
! said, to the gentleman's offering his Resolutions if I
: could be heard upon them. Discussion is what I want.—-
ii shall take up these resolutions iu their orde r. The first j
; sets forth no distinct principle or specific policy. It is
i rather a confused embodiment of com plain in than any
I thing else. As to foreign paupers and crimiorh, th<y are
; certainly no grievance to the people of Jlatnock or the
j people of Georgia. Towards the latter wc have a statute
of our own State, I believe, which, if entoi
i cod. will bo remedy enough. But my views as to
• both these classes are known. So also of the abuses in
I the administration < f tho prtsent naturalization laws.—
Rut this resolution states as as a fact, that ihe increasing
lide of fouign immigratioii into this country is adding
I annually more foreigners than natives to the Ist of our
voters. Where is the proof of this. How ran the peo
ple of Hancock affirm this to be true without some proof?
! The draftsmen of this Resolution seem to have gone up
on the idea timt Foreigners become voters as soon as they j
j arrive. Rot do they not have to remain at least five!
years, before, under the existing laws, they can be n.iUt- !
; ralizod ? How many of those who come, die in that
time? All in the United Slates in 1850 not volets —
hut the entire foreign populate n, men, women and chil
dren v ho have come since 119*1, was hut n fraction over
two mil.ions. I have no idea that the proposition lit re
| ftaud, therefore, is true in point of fact. Bnt nuppo*-** it
wit*. How is refusing to vote fora worthy foreigner,
who may have grown gray in your m dnt, going to reme
dy what you complain <•! ? That is the question so tarns
j foreigners are concerned, that the American party pre
sents, and the only one in their internal organization :
, and it i.s the only practical one now for consideration.—
And why mix it np w ith othere. Bet that question
be presented by itself, and stand or fall upon its own
merits. Don't cover it up and hide it in so much rnb
hish.
Tho 2d. Resolution declare* “that tho Ame
rican Party is aiming at an extension, not an abridgment,
.f religious freedom in this country.” frc. Aiming at
| an extension of religious freedom, that is their object
is il ? Another ou'side declaration ! But how is it in
j *ide ? V’ dl the gentlemn who off*, red these resolutions,
! tell me whether lie lihs not, a* a member of tho Order,
taken tlic following obligation :
“That you will not vote nor give your influence for
j any man Ur any office in the gift of the people, unless
he bean American born citizen, in favor of Arm r.cans
j ruling America, nor il he be a Roman Catholic,*’ &e.
! Will the gentleman t-!l me whether be has nut taken
! that obi gation ? Mr. Turner resjvonded that he had.
And also this?
“You wili, when elected or appointed to an official
! Eta lion conferring ott yon the power to do so, remove all
foreigners, aliens or Roman Catholics from office or
place, and that you will in no case appoint such to anv
! office or place in your gift. Yon do also promi*** and
swear, that this and all other obligations which you have
previously taken in this Order shall iver bt? kept sacred
and inviolate.”
Has not the gentlemen taken that obligation too ? Will
i he answer me ?
Mr. Turner again responded saying that he had.
D. G. Wilds, Esq., interrupted and *aid that he had
j not.
j Mr. Stephens.—Then l suppose you (to Mr. Wild*)
1 are his conscience keeper, are you? Yuu know better
w hat he has sworn ‘<* do than himself, do you l
This is *•Know Sothingism'’ is it ? And this is ex
: tending religious freedom is it? To exclude one entire
j sect of religionists from all the offices and honors of the
■government. ‘lhe outside declaration in tor extension,
, but the inside with is for civil proscription for exercising
: it. 110-v can you defend this double dealing? W hat
j else can it be railed ? And how cun you defend or vote
for the nth Resolution just offered, after you have admit
ted that v >u have sworn never to vote for a Roman Cath
olic ? T iat resolution declares that ‘'no American by
birth will ever be debarred from holding office by the
vi.*tis of the American Party on account of his religious
opinions.” Are not thousands of Cathol.es in this count re
■ native born —“ Americans by birth?” And docs not tho
<.b!ig.riori say that y-o will never vote for any man “if he
| be. a Roman Catholic?"’ Where is the exception in the
inside “ritual” in bt half of American born Catholics ?
. And i> it not notorious that an Attempt was made at the
| late Philadelphia Council to permit this exception to he
made, which was denied ? And this is extending re
i hgious freedom is it, to say to any man of any dciiomi
! nation, you may worship as you phase, but il you do not
please to worship as ire like, you shall be degraded and
disgraced ? This is tho freedom of religious worsh p
yvtir American Party h about to bring upon u=, is it ?
If so, l warn nil rny countrymen to beware of it. It is
j tho first false step which may lead to unimaginable evils
j and mischiefs 1 it subjects every man’s religion, and the
: religion of every denomination, to the standard of the will
!of the fulling majority for the time being ! Vv ben it is
; i.n< o begun there is no telling where it wid end. One de*
: noij.ina.ion will certainly fall after another. But do not
tell us in your outside deep rations that you are for ex
w ilding religious freedom while yonr whole internal or
ganization rests, in great part, upon an exclusion irom offi.*e
i of all whose faith does not s juare with tho “ust” you set
i np- . |
But the third resolution alludes to n subject that cs
| wiped me w hen I was up before. It ia nothing but one
• Melancthon'se t itements in reply to rue, revamped in new
jol form. In that piece of his, which I have before me. he
j asks : “Can he” (alluding to me) “tell how, in thed.ff* r
• ent depat tmenta of the Central Government, there arc
ft 14 foreigners holding office ngaint 510 natives? while
! among the Foreign Ministers, Consul*, Revenue Service
officers, dec., there are but 7G4 Americans for 1,484 for
eigners ?” Well new. 1 can leli him how it is—and it is
just no such tiling. In justice to him it is proper that 1
nhould state that he said he did not vouch for the statis
ties ; bnt then it would have been better for him to have
gotn n correct inf rmadon before making sveh publications.
Now I have a transcript from the Official Register on th>
subject, from which it Appears tlmt in all the departments
of the Central Government, including the State Depart
ment, Treasury, Interior, War, Navy, Po-t Office, At
torney-General’s Office and Judiciary, there are 4,476
officers ; of these, 3.677 are Americana by birth, and on
ly 469 foreigners; tbe birth-place of the other 830 is put
down as unknown ; and in no one department are there
more foreigners than Americans—or even one-third rs
! many—so that this resolution ha* not a peg “to hang up.
on and are you going to ask yonr American party to
sav in this resolution what is utterly unsupported by fact ?
The 4th resolution I shall pass over, ns relating to mat
ters about which 1 know bat little, and you, who will be
called upon to vote on it, not much more, I expect. It
dots not concern us much, any way. To the people of
New York and other States, l am willing to leave all such
matters as concern their own internal domestic State poli
cy. Ido not wish them to meddle with ours, and we
could not set them a better example than by refusing to
mix ooraelves op with their*. ( don’t know, even, that
all these things here stated arc true; it may be that some
of them arc like a statement going the rounds o! the pa
pers, and which Melancthon repeated, that Lafayette had
“declared that if the liberties of this country’ were ever
destroyed, u would be by Romish Priests.” Now, 1 have
uo idea that Lafayette ever said any such thing. Why
should he? lie wash Catholic, ls 1 understand. lie
etaiuly was by education and association, if not by pr o
session. 1 sec it stated thru these words have been taken,
dug out, from a letter written by Lafayette to a friend in
this country as follows ;
M I cannot but admire your noble sentiment? of devotion
and allachmcnt to your country and its institutions. But 1
must be permitted to assure you that the fears w Inch, in
your patriotic zeal, von seem to entertain, that if ever the
liberty of the United States is destroy'd, it trill b* by Ro
mish priests, are certainly without any shadow of founda
tion whatever. An intimate acquaintance of more than
half a century with the prominent and influential priests
and members of that church, both m Europe and America,
warrants me in assuring you that you need entertain no
apprehension of danger to your republican institutions from
that quarter.”
If this be the origin of the'matier, how confound the state
ment ? [Dr Pendleton hero interrupted, and said that he
could prove that this letter was a forgery.] Mr. Stephens
continued: —1 know* nothing touching its authenticity; it
may be a forgery; hut it has no such internal evidence.
It is just such a letter as it might be supposed that Lafayette
would have written, and much mote likely to have written,
than ever to have used tile words as attributed to him, and
in the sense attributed to him, no good evidence of which
have 1 vet seen, and I do not believe that tie ever did.
But I leave this matter, and pass on to the sth resolution
iu the scries. This declares that the Philadelphia Flatioirn
as adopted by the majority of the National Council of the
AruorUnn p: rty, on the subject of Slavery, is Conservative,
National, &-c. Now, v.hat does that Platform do, aid
what does it amount to, so far as the subject of Slavery and
the Kansas-Nebra-ka Bill in particular, is concerned l Jt
simply declares the existing laws ought to ba abided iu
This i- the declaration ol the majority only, and a very small
majority at that. But why wre m t the principles of the
existing laws approved \ Were the majority of that Con- •
vention or Council opposed to the policy of the Kansas I
Rill, and only willing now, as good citizens, to abide by j
what was done ? Why did their Plulfoim not approve it ? j
The lvarou to niv mind is apparent. A resolution to that •
effect would have blow n the Council “sky high,” the South |
cm w ing as well as the Northern ! Air. Raynor, of North
Carolina, one of the leading spirits from the South in that
body, openly denounced the Kansas II:11 as the great “out- j
rage.’’ Mr. Brown, F.X'Governor of TVnne,-s**e, also de
clared that he had been opposed to the Bill, but was now
willing to abide it; so did Pilcher, of Kentucky; and
Houghton, ot North Carolina, the authorized repot ter of
the proceedings, says that scarcely a mender in the body
from the entire South ‘Assayed anapolagy ” for it. This is
the reason that there was no approval of it. And are you
“Georgia Platform” men—men who have professed to f>*
willing to stand by the Resolution of our last Legislature
passed itnauinutusly —going now to endorse the sentiments
and hold paity fellowship with even such Southern men !
But the resolution now before you styles this Plnladel
phta concern a Rational Platform! National indeed ?
How many men from the Norm voted lor it? And who
aie they ? Only six from all the free States, except Cali
fornia!
I Mr. Wilds here interrupted, and said there were thirty
< ne ]
No, sir—there were only thirty-one from the entire
North, as 1 understand it, that did not abandon the Con
Vr-ntion when tin* mnjoritv carried their resolution, such a
it is, simply to abide by existing laws. There were but six
men irpm the Northern States proper, who voted thus to
let matters remain as they are. Four of them were from
New Yoik—Bather, Lyon, Mallory and Squires; and two i
from Pennsylvania—Henman and Vandane— six in all. 1 j
hate the ayes and noes before me—the four from Calif >r- |
nia added make ten in all from the whole sixteen free
States together, who gave their votes to this Conservative
Rational Platform! And now, who are those six men
from New ana Pennsylvania who constitute the basis ot
this Rational American organization ? Every one ot them
opposed to the Kansas bill before it was pasted-bitterly
opposid and politico y hostile to those hue men atthe
North who voted in Congress for that measure. Still op
posed to thorn ; and one of their main objects now i.- to put
them down and drive thorn from the councils of the nation
for nr.thing so nnu. li as their having “foisted” (that is the
word these National .-vrnoricans at the. North ute,) thi
measure upon the country 1 Are we to trust the safety of
tnis great measure of justice to the South in the hands of
such men—to say nothing of then associated allies, who
would not even agiee to let the iaw alone—instead of in
tlie hands of those men at the North who voted for the law
in Congress { Men who stood by the Constitution, and
standirfii by it, stood by your rights in the most perilous
crisis? ‘1 his would be like trusting the lamb to the wolves
Six men from New York and Pennsylvania to lo.in a Na
tional party upon, and those six opposed to the only friends
we had in tire North on the passage of the Kansas bill!
[Mr ‘Turner, interrupting, was understood to say that
the number ol sound men at tiro North in the American
party was as great, in proportion to the number of men
present in the National Council, as it was in the National
Democratic party.]
Mr. r-tephens, continuing Fait!: Sir, I arn not defending
the National Democratic party; it ha* much bad material
in it; men whom l not only repudiate alt personal associa
lion with, but whom politically I detest and abhor. It is
this unsound portion of the North which has given that or
ganization “the dry rot” I lately spoke of, and which will
certainly end, as it ought, in its utter prostration and over
throw’ unless that unsound portion he cut off. But sir..jus
tice as well as duty requires me to say to the gentleman
that bad as the National Democracy F\ it is not quite so
bad as the National American Council, even upon trie prin
ciple of proportion. On the passage of the Kansas Nebras
ka Bill there were 87 Northern Democrats in the Home ol
Representatives—counting both sound and unsound, good
and had. Out of these 87 present, 11 voted for the Bill and
i -i:i against it, a majority of that organization at the North
I voted lor it. If this great Northern question then had been
j submitted to the Nrothern Democrats pre entin the House
when the vote was taken—and to thorn only—without an
i other vote for or against it, cither from the North or South, •
the Bill would have pass'd. YVliat would have been its
i late, or your majority platform, if left to the Northern dele-
I gation? These 11 men 1 know. 1 was with them in ’the
j conflict for Kansas for days and nights together—without
j sleep or rest—and I will defend them atul stand by them as
; long as they stand by tbe Constitution, by my rights and
your right*, Ii j not caro by what party name they are
i ended; they are good and true men—tried men—con-.titu
| tional Americans to the core. Men who have come out
!of the heated tut nave uuacatiied and w ithout the smell of
: il;e upon their garments, and 1 give it to you, my couufiy- j
I men, you may heed it, or not, as rny deliberate opinion, 1
that those men atthe North constitute the only nucleus !
i around which a sound National party, based upon tbs j
maintenance of the Union and our Constitutional rights j
; under it.ever can be formed. It is true they ali call litem- j
| selves Democrats. Not a Whig or “Know Nothing’* i
! from the entire JNoith came to our lercu * in the hour of !
danger. And if any ot these now are disposed to lay j
down their arms against us ought we not to req tire them !
to lay down the saint* arms against our ft lends at the 1
North, before we take them into our alliance? Would n ;
not be the most ungrateful conduct, as well as the most •
! suicidal policy for us now to join any party, one ofWho-e
j main objects is to cause the overthrow and disgrace c i j
i these our friend-? Sooner should my tongue cleave io the i
i rod of my mouth, and this right arm fall front its socket,
j before 1 would do it. “ Demogogues and small men” may j
j charge me with having turned Democrat, for thus defend- 1
j uigr.ienwho are Democrats, but who arc, nevertheless
j your friends,but it makes no difference with me. By th -
| truth, by the Constitution, and by your rights and my own,
! I wjl; stand or fall, as the case may be. Jdo not care who
I rails or who approve?. Yolta;re may laugh—Bollingbroke
‘ may sneer—-and Wdpole may say that ‘ every man has hi?
j price,’’but l hold that there i- such a thing as political a*
well as per?oual integrity—that integrity which looks to
principles rather than place or power, to country lather than
puriy. And this 1 intend t-> maintain, eveu utilo de tth.
whether political or physical! ‘Tins Union and .Southern
right* can bo preserved only on the principles, a? I believe,
set forth tn tho Georgia Resolutions of 18:0. To uphold
and enforce these prilu iples, a sound national organization
must be formed, based upon them. Such an organization
must look, not lo the ova throw, but the support and
maintenance of tho-e men at the north, w ho not only now
stand by these pnucipl s, but who stood by them during
“that |>eriod which tried men’s souls! ’ T hey mu?t be e -
s *ntial element-? in any such organiz ition fas l speak of.—
This American party never can be such an organization,
in my opinion. For, next to its enmity lo foreigers as a
class and Catholics as a class, its greatest spite, even with
! the best of them North, seems to be directed agaiiu-l those
very men at the North to whom I allude, and to whom we
are indebted lor those very principles so dear to us, but
which so lew of this new o.der in that, the large*- section
the Union, now only promise to abide by, and without even
those few giving them their approval.
Consider this thing, not as pariHana,but a* patriots.—
Look at it dispassionately and practically. Whom mud
your Senators act within the next Congress, whenever
your rights or your principles aie concerned? VViih ll;<Ie
and Wilson-“ Know Nothings”—or with Douglas Ton
ccy and Broadhead —Democrats? And if 1 am beaten
whom must my successor act with oa all like questions ?
With his Anti Catholic, Anti Foieigner, American brother
or with Richardson, Hatris, the Aliens, and others of the
same stamp, all Democrats.
But I shad say no more—l am exhausted—womd that
my strength and physical ability were with
t lie intensity of my feelings upon the subject, and the'inag
nitude of your interests involved in the issue. We are pas
sing an important crisis in our history. (>l*l parties arc
dissolving, and new elements arn combining upon new
principles and new issues ‘To all who ask where I am
going, 1 say 1 shall go no where but stand first by the Con
st Hutton and those principles of Americanism which it, in
my judgment, as you have this day heard, to
establish and perpetuate, and al.-o by the same principles
that 1 stood by in the la>t Congress in the conflict on the
Kansas Bill. And if elected to Congress, I shall stand by
the same men there who stood wi.h mo then, and ali oth
ers who may now or hereafter join ns in saving and se
curing that and other kindred measures, whatever party
name they may bear. TV re is no party organization at
this time, either State or Federal, that commands my en
tire confidence. I recognise allegiance to none ; arid shall
truckle to the mandates of none. 1 acknowledge and
own fealty to nothing on earth but the Coti-tilutiou and
my couutry. The*e, while life shall last, to the utmost ol
my ability, I shall defend now and always.

Vote on the Kebraska-K&nsas Bill.—Mr. Stephens.
Fiom ihe Chronicle bt Sentinel.
Washington, Ga. July 9, 1855.
Mr. Jonfs: I notice in your publication of the speech
made by me at Swat la, a typographical error of some im
portance, which 1 wish corrected. The sentence I allude
to, a* printed, reads thus:
“If this great Sort/u rn question, (referring to the Kansas
ami Nebraska Bill,) then, had been submitted to the Sou
thern Democrats preseat in the House when the vote was
taker., and to them only,without another vote lor or against
it, ei‘her Irom tho North or S nth, the bill would havo
passed.”
The error consists in putting Northern where Southern
should be; and the sentence corrected should read—
“// this great. Southern question, then, had been sub
mitted to the A r///on Democrats p-esent in the House
when the vole was taken, and to them only, without an
other vote fir or it, either from the North or South,
the Bill would have passed.”
I will take this occasion, also, to correct some erroneous
and conflicting stafoments which l have seen in the news
papers, upon the subject of the exact vote ca the Kansaa
uni Nular -:;a bill. The ayes and noes were as follows,in
tin* House, on the final passage of the bill:

From this it will he seen that in the six North-western
State*. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wiscocso, lowa and
Michigan, where it \* euid the foreign population control*
the election, there were 25 votes given on the bill, of
which there were 13 for it and 12 against it, giving us a
majority of one, while in : \\ the six New Fnglaud State*
toe-ether we got but three votes lor it.
I*, the Senate, on the filial passage of the bill, the yeas
wete 35, and nays 13—of these 35 yeas, Broadbead of
t’a.. Car >of Michigan, Douglas of Illinois, Gwin of Cali
fornia, Jom > ol lows, Norris of New Hampshire, Pettit of
Indiana. Shields of Illinois, Smart of Michigan. Thomp
is<n . f X*.w J-my, TANARUS uc<-y of Connecticut. Wider of
j California, Williams of New Hampshire, and W right of
X* \v Jersey, were NTlbcrn Democrats; and lo these
may be add*d the names of Bright of Indiana, Vice Presi
dent pro tem. and Dodge of lowa, absent at the time, but
Known to be a warm friend of the bili—making sixteen
North Deirv.eras in the Senate for the bill; while of the
13 votes against it but two Northern Dcoocrals in that ,
body were of the number, to-wit: Hamlin of Maine, and
Walker of Wisconsin. See Congressional Globe same
session, page 13*21. Out of the 35 vuU i for the bill in
the Senate, there was not one Northern Whig or North
ern Know Nothing. And out of the 113 votes in the
House for the bill, there was not one Northern Know
Nothing. Bad, therefore, ns a portion of the Northern
Democrats are, (such rnen for instance, as Dix, Van Bti
ren vN O,) justice to such of them as are true to the
Constitution, requires it to b* made known, that a ma*
jority of them in both Houses of Coogrtss, including good
ind b id together, stood by the rights of the South on this
■Treat question. And it the Kansas B.U had been left to
the Northern Democrats, only, including sound and un
sound, the measure would have been carried in both
Houses of Congress without another vote either for cr
against it from the North or South. These are imper
•an*, facts f**r the Sou h to be informed upon and to con
sider ircil before they join any national party, one of
whos? main object* is to “crush out” and “put down”
ih'isc men at the North who hnve proved themselves frne,
n<t only to the Union , but to the Constitution, and our
under it, even if they do call themselves Democrats.
Partus sh’ uld bo characterized and known by their
principles aud not their names .
Respectlully,
Alexander H. Stephens.
p S. Most of the seven Southern Whigs who \oted
against th‘ Kansas Bill, arc Know Nothings and to ths
best of my belief, every one of thorn are.
