We do not speak of fee .convicts and paupers that are smuggled into, our ports from Genoa, Ham burg, and Trieste; but of the tensroT thousands iff" ' —^ — provinces of Europe completely pan theized, and with whom freedom is considered synonymous with'the downfall, of Hie Kingdom/of the Re deemer. We called attention some monthsago to the fact that large unmbers who have come of late years to this country are desciples of the anarchist school of Heine, according to whose creed “there can be no true freedom until Christianity Is bloodily abolished,” L e. until a persceutionby infidels of Christians is instituted, ' with ends similar, to those of Diocletian or Sapor. We showed that elections had been made .to turn upon the single point whether prayers should be offered to God in our Legis latures. whether the Lord’s day shonld be kept and religious oaths be maintained. One of the most influential German papers in ..this' city published siiniftraneously artideslwarning .<the better class of Germans, of whom: there are so many in our city, against encouraging these excesses. Our remarks Were republished in various parts ofthe United States, and we trust ed that a good result might be produced.

Duff Green, a man well known to the country, of strong end vigorous intellect, sound national views, end. n thorough knowledge of politics. Tho letter was addressed to Hon. R.. M.J. Hunter. It was. a saying of O’Ctuosll, that Ireland shonld belong to tho Irish; and there was truth in tho saying, whioh constituted the strength of his movement.

It is said that the eccentric Mr. Whitfield replied to some one who was opposd to lively airs in church music, “I do not think the Devil onght to have tha best tunes;” so believing that there is a deep philosophy in popular “diseoiu tent,” and that the maintenance of true reli gion and patriotism (by whioh I mean the maintenance of Evangelical troth, in opposi- Ron to popish.idolotiy and a preference for onr own people and government over, all others) to be the basis of the organisation ofthe A- merican party, I am not willing to surrender .that organisation with the power and influence whioh “philosophy”“troe religion" and “pat- riotism’’ must give into the hands of northern fkn»tici*m. I ftf one. am not willing thus to surrender my birth-right; and I respeetfully submit that instead of wasting onr energies in a. fruitless war upon the American party, it is much better to unite in tho movement, and give it a right direction.

Before tbe Convention ndinnrhod. or the nom inntions were made public, despatches were re ceived from all tbe nominocs signifying their acceptance. Mr. Flournoy, the nominee for Governor, was a Whig member of the Thirtieth Congress. Mr Beale was a Democrat member of the. last Con gress, from tbe Kanawha district, and Mr. Pat ton was a Deinocrat-mcmber off the Hou-o of Representatives of the Twenty-Third Congress, and lately filled the office of Attorney General, to which he has been nominated. The Whigs will, it is understood, make no. nominations for State officers, and there is, therefore, little or no doubt of tbe election of the entire ticket.

Yet its members are easily naturalized, become as speedily as pos sible ehizens.of these Stores, carrying Atheism to the polls.: and receiving the homag of dem agogue politicians to obtain a few miserable suffrages. A few of the “reformtH demanded by the “Freimaenner”—so they call themselves—who have set up Thomas Paine as their apostle, and who strives to gain strength to revolutionize our free Government by the establishment of the tyranny of anarchy, are: abolition of tbe laws for the observance of the Sabbath . abolition of oaths in Cohgress; abolition of oaths upon the Bible; no more prayer in our. Legislatures; abolition of the Christian systems of pnoishment; abolition of tbe Presidency, of all Senates, of all lawsuits involving expense ; the right of the people to change the Constitu tion when they like; a reduced term in acquir ing citizenship. Ac* These things arc not sought after as mere shadows,.nor are they the dreams with which visionaries amuse themselves, but which do no barn; they are seriously inculcated, princi ples, earnestly instilled, for tbe propagation of which there exists several chief and many mi nor societies to wbieh hundreds cf thousands of foreigners are affiliated, who are in constant communication vyith each other and act in con cert, and wtto are beginning to b« felt in every comer of the land, bnt particularly in the West, where their efforts are greatiy aided by tbe growing licentiousness of Abolitionism.

If you would know your true friends, turn to those you bavo mado in the day of your adrer- aity. ■ * y i/c.-*' ^ If you would have a jealous wife, talk of tbe beauty and charms of other women SPEwnuro Time.—We talk, says an. English writer, of spending our time, as if it wore so much interest of a perpetual annuity ;whereas we are all living upon our capital, and he wh > wastes a single dny, throws away that which can never he recalled or recovered. The New York papers state that the police of that city a few days previous arrested, at a house in Mnrcer-street, some thirty or forty men and women engaged in a dance, in a condition of unqualified nudity. The whole party was taken to tha Tombs. ^ ' - Barbux nr own Paragraph.—We have al ready extracted quite freely from BlaekwootPe criticism of Barnmn’s Life, but wo really can net refrain from one^passage more. .'The follow ing is a model of terseness and truth, and it •ojjptt to be'printed in.every newspaper,; from one end of the country to toe other: We da not blame Barnnm for having ex hibited Tom Thumb ; but we denouneo him for his acknowledged lies, and for his confessed deceptions. Fraud, falsehood and willful im position were tbe principal cause* of bis suc cess in almost every speculation which he has set down; -and so far from beipg ashamed of his enoduet, he is positively prond of it 'The mendicant who, on the highway, exhibit* sores on his person produced by the application to the skin of a balf-penpy dipped in aqnafortis, and solicits charity on account of bis infliction, stands, morally-speaking, quite as high as Bar nnm, who, if one half of his narrative be true, be most richly deserve the tread-mill. “ Read his book, and you will see that most of what he calls his “speculations” are attempts to obtain money under false pretences—an ar ticle of dittoy well know in this country, and constantly visited with punishment. If it should be said that the public must take the consequence of its own credulity; we ask what is tbe difference between the case of Barnum, and that of a person who tries to collect alms by means of false certificates?” A Tough Storm Story*..—The Peru (Illinois) Qhronicle, of tbe 6th inst, learns from a farm er who resides on toe south side of theTllinois River on toe Bluff, some particulars of the stonn-af toeffOtli nit His cattle, though they were enclosed in a circle of straw stacks and bay stacks, were so muck affected by the driving-blast that they refused to eat. The snow, was driven between their hates, and, coming in contact with the skin, was for a moment melted, then frozen, until the whole cevering of the animal seemed one unbroken armor of ice, which did not dis appear on many for four days after. The snow melting on their foreheads and running down, formed bnge icicles that passed down over the face, and reached far below the nose, giving them the appearance of toe beast with tbe ten horns—in many instances* the broad sheet of ice falling over the eyes, blindfolded them ef fectually. Tbeir nostrils were filled with frozen snow.tbat had been driven into them by the violence of the wind. ' Tbe qnails that had gath ered about bis barn yard, as a last resort, were, ■frozen to death. Prairie chickens were either frozen to death or so benumbed that he could take them with his hands os they sat on the fence, sleeping with .stupor. His barn yard chickens were many of them frozen, and, what is singular, in nearly cvery.csse they were found with'tbeir bills wide apart as they could be sun dered, and tbe mouth filled with solid ice. He has driven his cattle and teams, ‘over his fences, toe snow being on-a level With them, and so compact as to sustain a heavy load. A Mator Circumvektbd.—-The Mayor of Detroit determined, a few days since, to put a ■top to the driving of fast horses through tho< principal streets of that city. So, in company with a posse of policemen, ho walked deliber ately through the middle of Jefferson avenue, a^ beautiful wide street, which is generally the course for trotters. Arrived at the end of bis promenade, the Worthy mayor was fetigued, and gladly accepted tbe invitation of a gentle man to take a scat in bis cutter.. No sooner was be seated than toe horse broko into a 2.40 pace, and the conservator of public morals found bimsalf flying along at * spood quite destruc tive of anything like dignity, and entirely sub versive of municipal discipline. Tbe proprie tor and driver of the sleigh made the mostatren- uoua efforts to stop bis horae^ xnd pulled upon the lints till his arms were lame, which every body knowajs tbe way to stop one of our A- merican trotters, but the animal could not be indueed to tarry, and dashed on. The other fast ones in toe street, seeing tbe Mayor set tbe example, at once entered in to toe contest, and a merry time wae the result. The owner of tbe iporse ba* eioce expressed his extreme regret feat hie animal ebould have behaved so badly, and threatens to sell him, while the Mayor has not ainee been seen promenading the avenue. An Elast c Principle. The United Democracy of New York have gone the whole figure with the Monroe doctrine, by stretching ^application to the islands of the Pacific and to China. At the great meet ing of Wednesday last, in the city of New York, the following resolution, among others,- was passed by accumulation and with great entbu siasm : Beeolved, That the Union Democracy of New York, adhering to the true American doctrine of Monroe, repudiate any Hne of Governmental pol icy which does not resist, to the extent of the “life and fortunes” of the nation, all European interference with the affiiirs of this continent, and which will not resent to the utmost the en croachments which aresonghttobemnde by the Allied Powers of Western Europe in Chinn the Sandwich Inland*, Central America, nnd Cu ba. It is such superlative nonsense as this, ot tered at party meetings and sent forth ns the sentiment of the country, which subjects ns to the contempt of other nations. Demagogues make the mistake of thinking thnt nothing bnt absurd extravagancies are suited to tho popu lar tas te.—National Intelligencer. The poem below, says tbs New York Leader, i* thought to bear a Striking resemblance to some of tbe more careless productions of James Bayard Taylor, the celebrated poet and travel er. We have no time and less inclination to discuss tbe relative merits of Mr. Taylor and toe author of the following verses, or to institute comparisons between them. We may venture, however to assert, withont-fear of con tradiction by any well-qualified critic, that Mr. Toy lor is the more polished and tasteful of the two, while the authorof the verses under consid eration is much the more profound. Bead them and judge: „ THORTS ON A FADED BOKA.

The opening ofthe greatHnilway'Suspension, Bridge at Niagara Falls, on Friday last, is one of the important “vents^ of tbe day. The cross ing was made from Hamilton, in Upper Canada, to the American shore, nnd the scene afforded unusual interest to the crowd in attendance.— When the mammoth English freight engine made Its appearance, gayly, decorated wi h the British and American colors, tbe excitement was great. The Buffalo Express says: “ At the moment that the colossal .en gine entered apon the bridge the crowd united their voices in singing 5 ‘God Save the Queen.’and, as it passed to the, centre, three hearty "cheers were given and responded to by the delighted multitude on both, tbe American and Canadian sides of the river.* Tbe train then proceeded to the American side, where (Brit ish mingling with Yankee voices) ‘Hail Colum bia’ and ‘Yankee Doodle’ were sung witb. the snme'heartiness and spirit thnt bad characteriz ed the singing of Britain’s national air. “The opening of this mighty and magnificent structure, well worthy of being classed witb the world’s wonders, really forms an epoch it> tha history of the world. It unites with strong iron bands two countries, to tbe intelligence and en terprise of whose inhabitants the bridge owes Its existence and stands a fitting tnonument” Pool’s Funeral-250,000 Persons Pres ent. Tbe New York Express estimates the num ber of people who turned oat on tbe. occasion of Bill Poole’s funeral, Sunday last, at 250,000! — Large delegations wero present from, Albany, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and surroundingtowns. This concourse was not made'up of those who belong only to the “lower classes," ^bnt many persons occupying the best position in society, were present The Express asks the meaning of this nnusnal demonstration, and then offers the following explanation : “Bill Poole” was not a “great man.” in tbe ordinary acceptation of the term. He was on- Bill Poole, tbe hatcher* Wo believe he never was considered in nny sense a “public benefac tor.” He was not a soldier. We do not learn that he ever shed bis blood upon the battle field —bnt (mark!) it. wae the conviction based upon hi* dying declaration that he, ae an American, had his blood shed to satisfy the vengeance of a “set of Irish," which called forth from the peo ple of this city, the overwhelming and overshad owing manifestation of yesterday. Americans, we believe, do not assemble together spontane ously by the hundreds of thousands^as they did on this occasion, to deify the memory of a mere pugilist or “shoulder hitter.” The mystery, if there can be in Intelligent minds any mystery about it, was all explained by the memorable death-bed sentiment ofthe deceased, blazoned in characters as black as night npon the canopy which covered the coffin— "I DTE A TRUE AMERICAN!!! ” “That is the history of it alL It tells why a quarter of a million of citizens left their homes nnd firesides to build np, as it were, a living wall, on both sides of the street, along which the mortal remains of the murdered might pass, in honor of the grave. It was the sentiment that was honored, not the pugilist.. There was a principle-in it. The conviction that a man—a citizen—no matter how repugnant hia associ ations or whole course of life might be to men of better tastes and chaster habits—was brutal ly murdered by a “set of Irish,” beeaase be was an American, worked in 'men’s minds a de termination to show tha world how tbe assas sination. and tbe infernal motives- which are said to have prompted it, are estimated by a people who have the misfortune of not being born in Ireland.” Tbe philosophy of dyspepsia is tons stated by a recent medical writer: as soon as food reaches tbe stomach of a hungry, healthy man it pours out a fluid substance, called gastric' juice, as instantly as tho eye yields water if it be touched with anything hard ; this gastric dissolves tho food' from without inwards, as lumps of ice in a glass'\of water are melted from without inwards. If from any canse this food is not thns melted, or dissolved, that is in digestion or dyspepsia. Vinegar, in its action on food, is more.nearly like the gastric juice than any other fluid known. Thus it is that pickle or a little vinegar will “settle tbe sto mach” when some discomfort is experienced after eating. Cure for Hydrophobia.—Two table spoon- falls of Chloride of lime to halfti -pint of water, with which the wound is constantly bathed.— The cure is almost infallible, as will be seen by the following results: From 1810 to 1824, the number of patients admitted into Breslau Hospital was 184, of whom only two died; 1784 to 1824 into tbe hospital at Zurich, 243 persons bitten by different animals, (82 by dogs,) of whom only four died. It appears from the annexed paragraph from two New York journals, that tbe Democrats of that State are at variance on this Cuba question. Tho National Democrat remarks : “ There seems to be a little jar between the city and country views of tho friends of the administration. The soft meeting in this city on Wednesday adopted a Cuba resolution; while, the Albany Argas of the next morning contains an article approving Mr. Morey’s for eign policy, and hoping that‘few citizens of this republic desire to see its foreign policy con ducted upon any such basis’ of aggression. What are we to think?” , The Albany Argas replies: “ ‘ Think'-wbat you please, and let others do the like. > We ‘think’ that larceny—whether of a horse, a bag of gold, or an island—is'not to be eommended, nnd we shall not be likely to think otherwise, whatever any publio meeting in.New York or elsewhere, majjr ‘think’ on the subject. We don’t go for stealing.” Speaking of Mr. Overby’s acceptance the Co lumbus Bnquirsr observes: C “We regret this decision upon tbe part of Mr. Overby ; for while we yiold to- no one in deprecating the manifold evils of Intemperance, and in our desire to witness tbeir corroetion, we have failed to perceive tho probability of nc* complisbing tbe desirable ends uimed nt in this movemont by the courso proposed. We think that any. attempt to organize a party in this State on~tbe distinct nnd single issue of prohi bition, will not only prove futile, but to n great extent will subvert tbe very object intended to bo secured,—by bringing into the area of po litical strife a question which in our opinion, would find a better and moro effective advocacy in the milder and more genial atmosphere of moral suasion, and in iess obtrusive appeals to the moral sense and hearts of tho people. As at present * advised, wa cannot therefore take part in toe movement.

The Ostend Plot—Extraordinary disclosure of' ' the Treachery of the administration to Pierce Soule -the shuffling of the doeumenfs-Soule’s Policy—the Russian Emperor's Letter. Washington, March 8,1855. The details of the Ostend Convention are not to come before the public through toe President. The papers sent into the House of Representa* tives contain no information that had Dot al ready appeared in the Herald upon toot subject It was purposely arranged that die meagre par ticulate communicated should be represented at a moment when Congress would not have toe power to act upon them, while toe apparent readiness of the President in sending' them in, was to quiet public suspicion, and' to mislead public opinion as to the real importance of a subject that had so long been before toe coun try. Mark this down as diplomacy No. 1. While in possession of the House, toped up and secured by an nnusnal profession of sealing pax, Senator Gwin, of California, entered and expressed a desire to giye the correspondence a hasty perusal, which was politely refused, on the ground that their publicity ha<f not been determined by the House. The final decision for publication being arrived at, the press of New York was furnished with a document that appeared in the Herald last October, together with a few extracts of letters between Marcy and Soule, while too all-important particnlara of the convention, including Mr. Soule’s official action in Madrid, were withheld from toe pub lic. On Tuesday of this week this package of papers, taken from Forney’s bands, , found their way to the President’s private room, where all that was of the least importance was taken from it, and the worthless balance returned to the Union office for printing. Another evidence of shrewd diplomacy placed to the credit ofthe President, and marked No. 2. Tho motives actuating this last step of Gen eral Pierce are not without interest Mr. Soule had been invited to take dinner with tbe Pres ident. He pleaded an exense for the refusal to accept the offer, aud the whole of Monday was given by Soule to private explanations with Marcy, in the State Department. General Pierce, after the adjournment of this interview, was notified that Mr. Soule should insist upon the unabridged publicity of every line that was written upon the subject of Cuba, from the President and Secretary of State, in case the resolution of the House of Representatives shonld be complied with, and if the'demand should not meet witb approval, Mr. Soule gave notice that a regard for bis own reputation and the truth of history wonld force him to p1™<> the matter in its true light before tbe public. This expressed resolve led to toe removal from the papers sent to Congress on Saturday, as already stated, of all such documents as were but partially detailed, aud the omitted parte of which were evidences favorable to Mr. Soule and bis negotiations, which General Pierce had determined upon suppressing. No .surprise, after this, can be expressed at the propriety of Mr. Soule’s refusing to sit at the same family table with Gen. Pieree. You .will shortly be made apprised of much information, calcula ted to increase the disgust already felt towards Gen- Pierce and his Cabinet in the transaction of our foreign affairs. In this interview be tween Mr. Soule and Secretary Matey, the lat ter, for the first time, was made acquainted with the extent of the "President’s treachery as used against him. Several of bis lette>$, marked private, in his own handwriting, were placed before Gov. Marcy for his perusal by Mr. Sonle. In comparing dates, tit was found that these letters ware written and forwarded across the Atlantic at tbe same time with certain State papers, written by Gov. Marcy to Mr. Soule, the contents of which had been agreed upon in Cabinet meeting, and approved by the Presi dent, who, at the same time, was confidently urging upon onr Minister ip Spain a contrary line of policy. Diplomacy No. 3. The publication of these papers wonld force from Mr. Marcy ' his resignation, and this step since, the arrival of Mr. Sonle is thought to be among the early probabilities. Self-respeet would dictate the measure. Mr. Soule has ex pressed himself as satisfied with the conrso of Gov. Marcy, so for as his consistency goes, anff hence his.preference for an interview with the Seertary. „ It is now acknowledged, semi-nfficially, that an antograph letter has beon received from the Russian; Emperor by the President. The in terference in the. affairs of this country by England and France finds a voucher in Gov. Marcy. Matters are not to test with the diseov- ery made.
