Congressional. house. Washington, Jan. 5, 1856. i Keirt —Mr. Clerk, tlie gentleman from Ala . Mr. Walker; has dragged me into this rarn i a discussion ; and as I will not allow any par [ , : ;d particularly the party with which lam co- I ~'itm —even throngh implication, to be wronged j a me, I choose now to speak for myself, it ml man quotes from a speech made by me [ ull before a portion of my constituents, at ! . .. ell Court House. I will say, that I advanced uiion in that speech which l wish now to re aud made no statement which I am disposed I ,'jalify. ! • gentleman from Virginia Mr. liocock! is -rt iii saying that 1 do not technically belong Democratic party organization. Sir, I wear party collar, and never will wear one. I never abdicate my individuality, or merge myself in • party, so as to commit self-abnegation. I will oi t any measure which is just, wise, and con ditional, come it from what party it may; and 1 I 1 resist any measure which is the opposite to H se, however emblazoned it may be with party I _nia, and however authenticated by the stamp I arty council. lam content, sir, to express here I wn opinions, and those of my constituents, ilni .y legitimately represent. I advise gen ii,.men to some modesty anu circumspection in ut- i -,:.g the oracles nf party. A few years ago you j .! men who could speak for party. You had men ■ splendid intellects and lofty patriotism made ! •i,Parties were then based upon principles, ' i tiieir organization was the breath of these men. j iv. men are the breath of parties. Now, parties j ike men; tlnn, men made parties. But those ' . - are gone, and those great names are only il- j -■lined with historic glories. i ; peat then, sir, that I cannot be quoted, as a ; e-r of the Democratic party, to show a want . u-inony in its ranks, as 1 am not strictly in its j raiii/.iii'ni. I will say, however, that 1 liavehith- i -upported it upon this floor, and I expect to J untie to do so. I have given it my support, | 1 shall continue to give it my support, because I approaches much nearer to the true policy of the j ;;,trv and the principles of the Constitution than ! .iher organized party in the Republic. It is j . it! v party which, in circling round its mighty I . touches the poles of the Constitution, i the speech to which the gentleman from Ala- i . Mr. Walker 1 referred, 1 condemned the doc- i of "squatter sovereignty.” In inv speech on 1 Nebraska bill, in 1«54, on this floor, I con aited it. The gentleman from Virginia [Mr. j ■nek] can say whether he approves it or not? , ailerneu from the North can say how flared the j -mission upon this bill with them. I will not i •jure on these points now ; but as soon as the j use organizes, 1 shall take an early occasion to ■sent mv views upon these various questions. M Brooks—Will my colleague allow me to ask , and 1 do it in the way of a suggestion —if Joes not approve of the principle of the resolu n of the Democratic caucus, and of the Presi- j i.t’s message ? *1 r. Keitt—l do most cordially, 1 thank my col- ! i.; i ' for the inquiry, as it enables me to take up i glove so courteously thrown down by the geu- ‘ t man from North Carolina, [Mr. Readej. I say ' him that, in mv judgment, his party —that is, I American or Know Nothing party —is guilty of ni and religious persecution. This I will show, j In.- Know Nothing party binds its members, I \ • stand, tn vote against all members of the I man Catholic church. Is not this making a re- j •its u-st :• and are not religious tests prohibited , I he Constitution? Let us examine this. What is suffrage? It is apolitical contrivance ollect and express the public opinion and pub- j will. Is the t ight of suffrage a natural or a j Venn nal tight? It is the latter, beyond n | ,bi. If so, from what do yon get il? From | j; organic law. Now, as yon get it from your ; _uiie law, it is of course, given with all the ; at ions and conditions imposed by the funda i and law. What does that say? Why, that j r. shall be iiop -digious test. The clause granting j *• Oh-age, and the clause prohibiting religious tests, Most be construed in accordance with each other, i I’iius the organic law imposes a restriction upon | a-1 >.i-r ise of suffrage ; and whoever makes reli •us r. sis, violates that ConstitutionaFrestraint. I But it b. - been argued that the Know Nothing I iy j >es not eontemplnte iiie enactment of a law I hiding Romau t atiiolns aud naturalized for- ! jiivi s from all offices. If this result is occorn- j -iied through the agency of the ballot-box, will j I aot be as violative of the Constitution as if j ..-wd dimug'u positive enactments ? If, through ; nstrumeutality put into your hands by the or- ' . ••ir law, you accomplish the subversion of the . is it not as violative of ail obligation and f > as if you circumvented it by a positive statu- ! pt'iu Isimi : To give an example: The Presi- j •at of the United States is under the obligations j . die Constitution, just as any voter is. If be eto declare that he would bestow office upon who is a member of the Roman Catholic ■ rdi, simply because he was a Catholic, would it be making a religious test ? Clearly so. How ilil this be so? By determining the qualifiea i- for office and station according to the reii- : . ns convictions of the candidate. The same is i -of naturalized foreigners ; yet, in this instance, ; circumvention of the Constitution would he mhom any positive law. I answer to this view of the question, it has j il -aid that the voter may vote as lie pleases. ■ ' ni the limitations imposed by the Coustiiu i. State and Federal, he may vote as he chooses; J if he votes over and against those limitations, guilty of legal or moral wrong. Though no -p eifle penalties may have been defined, aud no _;il tribunal instituted to enforce them, yet the ■ ::g is not the lo>- clear and disastrous. This giiment also implies an absolute and unqualified glit of property in suffrage. If this right exists, •by cannot the vote be sold ? It will be answered: ••tuse tin law prohibits. Exactly so; but this : r ives that the right is a qualified one —that there restrictions upon its exercise. This is all 1 item! for. 1 contend that the right of suffrage - t political or qualified right; that it must be ex is-.-il in conformin' to the limitations of the Con - it an >n ; and that the fundamental limitation is, •ait it shall not be so used as to make religious s. Suffrage is a qualified political right, given individuals m correlation to public duty, and the latter re-acts upon the former. V. this point 1 may answer an inquiry put bv the «emleinan from North Caroliua, Mr. Reade . He cures, "it 1 would vote for any one hostile to civil liberty and the Constitution ?" I answer him : inkle, that l would not. Rut be does not put the .■r stion fully. Does he believe that every niem r of the Roman Catholic church is hostile to ci ul liberty and the Constitution? If so, does lie believe them to be thus hostile to them because of ; :’r . ’.yio.-i If he does not believe both of • -•■ propositions, then he cannot shelter himself ■bind his implication. If there be any number l, f Roman Catholics in this country who are true ■ the Constitution and civil liberty, then the Ro am Catholic religion does not make its votaries ■else to their civil duties and obligations, and their k . political proscription must be because of their reli gi us faith. Thus, in this event, the gentleman makes a n iigious test. Nor will he fare better on ie i tier 1; ':n of the dilemma. If be alleges all Roman Catholics to be hostile to civil liberty be iu- of their religious creed, he pronounces sen nee amiinst the Constitution, and takes issue ith the sage-, and founders of the Republic. The 1 institution declares that there is no ineompati li.iv between republicanism and the Roman Cath- Y" religion, and the -ages of the Republic believ ■ nut bath' lies might bens loyal citizens as the ..oners .>f any other faith. If the gentleman be ■'• - -Us pr wisiiin in the Constitution to be mi "ise, he should strive to amend it in the way i’ r 'Viui i in that instrument itself. While it ex -k is the law, and disobedience to it is the ' higher law.” 1 pu-s now, -ir, from this branch of the inquiry my colleague, lie asks me, also, if I approve c! toe 1 resident s message. Ido approve of it. mos..emphatically. It is a bold, wise, and states manlike •!. .unient, and should commend itself to ■nr sanction of the public judgment. In this con nection, too. 1 will say, that while I am opposed to -,v repi esentation ot mv State in the Democratic nominating ( invention at Cincinnati, if President leree is the nominee < f the Democratic party, 1 will cheerfully and cordially support him, aud I eo mt not my Mat- will do so. ‘ I think he has high claims upon the party; and in this I believe Ca-Mi” prt " S thejud - lnel “ ” f ,he people of South M . object, Mr. Cletk, was to define mv own po 'raon. 1 will add, how ever, that I believe the Ueamcmio party is, to-day. purer, aud truer to uie (. .institution, than it has been for years It ‘f P-i-" d through tire and water, and many ot ■ s impurities have been consumed or washed hrH ,he sm ell of fire upou it- garments ana wtule U move* ou in tbs historic uack o; the founders of the Republic, I shall bid it God speed! Many of the halt, aud lame, and blind have fallen bv the v. ay ; had this fate overtaken all such, it would have been better. The gentleman from Pennsylvania ;Mr. Camp be,]| says that ihe Democratic party came into this Hull two years ago upon the crested wave of popular power; and he asks, where is it now? He says it i» a feeble and scanty band clinging to its broken altars. Why feeble and scanty ? Because it has been much more friendly to tie South, and truer to the Constitution, than either of the other parties. Clinging, says the gentle man, to its broken altars: Why, sir, to what else should it cling? While Abolition fanaticism is sweeping over the free States, prostrating the guaranties of the Constitution, and tearing down the remaining pillars of our republican edifice, where should the Democratic party he, hut within the sacred precincts, fighting down the foe? While the lust of northern domination and Free soil propagandist!! is driving the chariot of sec tional power over the remains of the Constitu tion, to what should the Democratic party cling but those altars, reared by the founders of the Republic? If it be true to the Constitution, and steadfast iu the faith of the fathers, let it hind it self to the horns of the altar; and as the angel descended to rescue the son of the patriarch even from the uplifted knife, so mav the genius of the land stoop down to rescue it from the gleaming dagger of the fusion cohorts.

The Tampa Peninsular of the sth brings us the j very gratifying intelligence of the safety of Lieut, j ; Hartsuff, who was known to have been wounded, and was supposed to have been killed by the Indi- j | >ms, at their late outbreak. We also learn from ’ the same source that the other survivors of the at- ; j tack, four in number, were all safe—two of them t i having been wounded, the other two escaping un- j ! hurt, with the exception of the injury suffered from ; ; exposure, fatigue and hunger. The Peninsular gives the following reliable j i statement in regard to the outbreak : “ On Sunday, Dec. 1 fith, Lieut. Ilartsuff aud par- I ! ty were halted about ten miles from Fort Drum, j ] The Lieut, took two men and went to an Indian [ ; encampment about three miles distant; saw an j 1 Indian, who ran from them — proceeded next day j • to Fort Drum ; found it burned down ; noticed j i that all the sign-posts and mile-posts, were torn j ; down ; Monday night started for Fort Shackelford, I reached it Tuesday; found that also burnt down. : Lieut. 11. took patties and went in different ) routes to Indian encampments; saw no one—left I F’urt Shackelford on Saturday, and arrived that 1 night at F'ort Drum —started to Bow Leg’s town on | Monday ; arrived within three miles of it and en- j camped. Tuesday Lieut. H. took three men and went into it; saw no one ; some of the party took a bunch of bananas —next day turned off to the left and visited another Indian encampment; saw no one—received orders on the night of the 19th to prepare to start for F'ort Myers—ou the morning of the 20th were lying in a pine grove, half an acre in extent, and about o a. m., were busy getting ready to march, harnessing, Jkc., when the war hoop sounded, and they received a volley. This, of course, was utterly unexpected, and all was confusion; some little firing from the party ensued, but several were out of the reach of their ; arms. Williams was sixty yards distant from his j rifle, saddling his horse: he made his escape. I Those who could get their pieces fired them, and j the rest loaded tor the Lieutenant, who fought j bravely until he was wounded, when he exclaimed, “ I am done for,” but suddenly pulling out his pis tol cried out, “No, by heavens, the pistol has saved my life, for the ball lias struck it!” Hannah and Baker were wounded at this time. The survivors then separated, and it is presumed the plunder alone prevented the savages from pursuing them. The following interesting letter we find in the paper above mentioned: FortMs ers, Dec. 29, 1855. Mr. Editor: Atone, A. M., Wednesday morning, an express from Company “K.,” reached this place, to report that this Company was encamped twentv ! one miles out, having been sent in as an escort to Idem. Hartsuff, who had been found alive, and also informing us that Rorsedh, Company G,” was also found, but he having received only a flesh ; wound in the right arm, had consented to go back j io the battle ground. Upon the receipt of this 1 news, the Ambulance was at once dispatched for the Lieutenant, and he was brought in at two, P. M., ou Wednesday. Company “K” also came in. j ‘ The Lieutenant looked weak and pale, but got out :of the wagon himself! He has received two ! wounds from one shot, it having entered his arm, ; passed through and lodged in bis breast; it is uot yet extracted. His version of the affair does not materially differ from the rest, up to the time of their ultimate dispersion; after that lie know noth ing of their action, except that some one to be Bow Legs) called to him, in very good Eng lish, “Come out! come out! I'il not kill you!” This was, however, an evident feeler to resoive themselves of bis whereabouts and lure him to his death; so he declined their invitation and lay un der water for many hours, hid by water and rushes, when he managed to craw l bv degrees to Fort Drum; there, being unable to proceed farther, lie lay down to tlie, but first wrote an account of the matter on the margin of a newspaper, with pencil, intending to fasten it to a tree, that his record might be extant; so he laid him down in a pine grove and slept, hourly expecting that death, in some shape, would visit him. It was dark when lie awoke, and j 1 you may imagine ihe revolution of feeling, you may ! conceive his joy, w hen the sweet music of a drum, beating off Tattoo, met his ear. .No Tattoo to him, but the most joyful of revelles, indicating the I dawning of safety.) But how shall he tell them of his presence. How indicate that he, one whom * they seek, is near? Suddenly he bethought him of hi> pisioi, and although there was but little hopes that the charge would be dry, vet the trial must lie made, for he cannot walk to them. He drew and fired the pistol; fortunately, it exploded the guard heard it the long roll was beat, that the poor fu gitive might he assured his friends bad recoguozed the signal ; they formed and marched, *n masse, to ; hi.s rescue. And oh! what a meeting! Strong men gried like children for very joy in bis safety. A litter was formed, and Dr. Brodie, being in at tendance, gave him all necessary aid. “ K” was immediately detailed to convey the Lieutenant to F’t. Myers, and F!, C, and L, went on to the battle ground, taking Boredh with them. Upon their arrival there a seene met their view of a desci ipiion so horrible that words cannot describe it: for the corpses of the four unfortunates were still above ground, although in a revolting condi tion. They were scalped and indecently' mutila ted. Their death was, of course, caused by the large quantity of balls which bad perforated heads, chests, Ac., but that they were mutilated while still living, is evident front the signs of war fare around them, such a.s the tearing up of the grass and sod, the position, tlie bits of clothes re maining in their hands. Curran was a remarkably i athletic man, he held a piece of an Indian shirt | still in his grasp. They were all decently interred where they ! lay, at least, what there was of them, for the ; turkey buzzards had taken toll of mortality, and j left little but bones for the sextons and worms, j Their mourners fired a salvo of artillery into the ; adjoining thicket, but no warhoop of the foe was I blendid with the echoes that answered. I’oor, ; poor fellows, quite boys, too, at a moment’s warn- ! in j, with all their errors upon them, remorsely j hurried away to meet the deed unknown. Their names were Horth, ‘G,’ American; Foster, ‘E,’ Curran and Murtaugh, ’K,’ Irish. With respect to the effects, 1 believe two rifics have been recov ered, and one mule, shot in four places, retaken ; two horses found dead and seven missing ; wag ons, Ac., were burnt, and mules shot in their har ness. Many a heart turned sick as they gazod on the work of demons, and many a vow was regis tered whose fulfilment will bring sorrow and deso lation into the cabins of our foes. Nothing was seen of Indians on the route go ing or coming, though, doubtless, the Indians j saw them. Lieut. Hartsuff is locatad and tender- ! Iy cared for, in an apartment of Col.

THE CRITERION; I A LITERARY ANT) CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL, 16 Page*, 4 to, WAS commenced on the third of November, Ibod, and lias thus far received very gen- I eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence, ' and place it upon a substantial basis of support, I the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the ! attention of ihe thinking public of America to its 1 claims upon their consideration. The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re | views of Current Literature, lit this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important books a» they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform ed of all new publications which deserve their at tention. IT ALSO CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers'; Announcements of contemplated Publications; and Lists of New Kooks issued in America and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also receive attention, and several columns of careful I v selected and agreeable matter are given in each number. In addition to the above .there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information. it is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and to some extent upon our national character, it will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical boo Ks. To the reading man the literary intelligence alone must render it very de sirable ; and to all who wish to promote an im provement in taste, tiie encouragement of merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enterprise cannot —at least, should not—be indif ferent. To members of Historical, Literary and Scien tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from time to time, those important philosophical ques tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theories, and encouraging profitable investi gation. The CRITERION is published at $3 per annum, payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application to the Publisher. CHARLES R.
