I ask every Know Nothing who reads this, if u:!i was not his understanding of the objects of th American Order* Then I ask them to lav tht’.r partialities and prejudices, and think iajly r.s patriots, to look back at its historv. it met in Convention at Philadelphia In June hit—it laid down a platform—it put forth the cal ibrated twelfth section. Jl«re it is : "Risolted, That the American party, having r,.-;n upon tiie ruins, and in spite of the opposi tion, of the Whig and Democratic parties, cannot l * held in any manner responsible for the obnox i.j-actsor violated jtledges of either; that the systematic! agitation of the slavery question bv t: >se parties has elevated sectional hostility into a positive element of political power, and brought ir institutions into peril; it has, therefore, be c .rue the imperative duty of the American party i interpose tor the purpose of giving peace to the j-tntry and perpetuity to the Union; that, as ex rieii - has shown it impossible to reconcile opin ion so extreme as those that separate the dispu . ;.rs, and there can be no dishonor in submitting ;■> the laws, the National Council has deemed it the I' st guarantee of common justice and future p ace to abide by and maintain the existing laws j'oa the subject of slavery as a final and coaclu v - s - ttlui'i- nt of th it subject, in spirit and in sul stance. “ And regarding it the highest duty to avow .iieir opinions upon a subject so important in dis tinct and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared, as the sense of this National Council, that Con ..o-ss possesses no power, under the Constitution, ti legislate upon the subject of slavery in The States, where it docs or mav exist, or to exclude .itiv State from admission into the Union, because iHCicohution docs or does not recognize the in ■ sntuu.m as a part ; f its social system ; and cx- I presd.' pretermifting any expression of opinion I upon die power of C ngress to establish or pro- I tube slavery i any Territory, it is the sense of , tat National Council that Congress ought not to Dgisiaic- u. m th" subject of slavery within the Territories of the United .States, and that anv in terference by Congress with slavery as it exists in the District of C lumbia, would he a violation of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the Stj’e of Maryland ceded the District to th- STiited States, and a breach of the national faith.” There is t of slavery with the exception of a little ■>?- it , rmitlru/) sound I -one upon which file South could stand.

I have taken the North ’’ die center, and the North-east. I have shown you, so that no honest man will ever deny it who 1 reads these platforms, that they have gone utter v Kone, into practical Abolitionism ; that no rep rc- ntative—no man who values the rights of the South—can act with them. Do you want more proof? I refer you to the re tmru of the presen t Congress. I assert to you that three-fourths of the men who elected Batiks were Know Nothings. I assert to you that not a single nortnern member of that party voted for Governor ! Aiken for Speaker! That after all that “l ou d- : mouthed professions of nationality, Fuller dodged hi- precious little band of six, threw away their ! votes upon their unmortal leader, and thus allow ed Ranks, who was only elected bv three votes— who would sink the Union—who would “absorb” 1 witu the negroes—who has not yet determined j " ‘K'ttier tie is better than a negro or not—ves these 1 northern Know Nothings threw away their Votes, and allowed this man Banks to be elected Speaker! " '- l; an - man of common decency—will anv man in Missouri, of ordinary self-respect, ever : again abuse tne for not having acted with the north ern Fuller party? Instead of getting national Know Nothings from the North foryiur national man, (Governor Aiken, we really lost two “isouth Americans"—Mr. Cul len, of Delaware, and Mr. Henry Winter Davis, from Maryland! So you will see that, instead of 1 the tendencies of the American Order being to ! liberalize the North, its practical operation is to freesoihzs the South ! Do you want more proof? 1 will give it. The Know Nothing C,invention, held at Philadelphia on the 22d of February, IS.'6, (the birth-dav of : Washington—what a desecration ! repudiate and abolish this twelfth section, on a separate and dis •nuct vote, and by an overwhelming majority; and in its stead place a plank which means all things to all men, and of which a member of the Conven tion, from Indiana, and a supporter of it. (Mr. Sheets, sail! in that Convention “He would assure the South that the twelfth section must he got rid of. Tie was willing to ac cept a compromise, but the section must be got rio of; he was willing to accept the Washington i platform ; for, if ilierc was anything in it, it was so covered up with verbiage that a President would ! i ho elected before iho people would find out what i it was all about. Tumubuotis laughter.)” i Yes, this infamous sentiment, instead of being 1 received with patriotic indignation, was received I with “tumultuous laughter!” and the “Wash- « ington platform," presented by one Parson French 1 i S. Evans—the defeated Black Republican cauui- 1 date for Sergcant-iit-Arms of the present House— t was adopted bv that Convention ! t Do you want more proof? I think every intelli gent, honest man in mv district, who is not an as - ’ pirant for office, will exclaim—“ Hold, enough !" ■ Hut for the benefit of the Know Nothing aspirants t for my place in the district, 1 will give two more i 1 acts. Thai the northern portion of that CoDven- u tion telegraphed to the Black Republican Pittsburg v Convention, sitting at the same time, that the— ~ s “ American party is no longer united. Raise the c Republican banner. Let there he no further exten tl sionqf slavery. The Americans are with you.” t! And th<- still further significant fact, that aftet v the express repudiation of the twelfth section, thet tl denounce in their platform the repeal of the Mis- u souri Compromise line. And now—l do not ask ihe aspirants for mv place —I do not ask those who want to go as Know Nothings to the Legislature—those who want to be sheriffs, county judges, squires, or constables, Ac. —bat L ask the true men of my district—the reat people, where I have always found my friends - the men who have no object but the good of their country at heart, to do as I have done —abandon this organization! -if it has not failed—utterly, completely, entirely failed, as a sound, national, conservative party?—if every intelligent man does not know that it has failed ?-—and if every honest man will not acknowledge the fact ? As to til- great catch-words, “Americans shall rule America I” —1 am in favor of Americans ru ling America. They do, they always have, and they always will rule America. lint who are Americans? Vour laws declar* that, when a man has been here five years —when he will, under oath, renounce all allegiance to anv foreign prince, potentate, or power when he will prove that lie is of good moral character- attach ed to the institutions of the United States—he mav be declared an American, and your law makes aim a citizen, it is a fraud upon him, if vou do not give, him all the rights of citizenship I Think of it \ The poor old Pope of Rome, un able even to defend bis life—to protect himself his throne supported and upheld by French bavo nets! AVe have twelve native to oiic foreign vote in the United Slates! Why should we fear the Pope ? And cannot twelve Americans manage one Irishman ? In the Congress of the United States there is but one foreigner! Ju the last Legislature •*f our State elected, as the members were, before the Know Nothing flood—there was but one; and ’.ic was a leading, I might say, without being in vidious, the leading member of the Senate! I diude to Colonel C. Zeigler, who came, or was brought to this country when an infant eighteen months old ! lie is one of the first intellects of uir State, or any State. He has been my political friend my personal friend—my supporter in even aspiration. I submit it to you, if there is not some thing radically wrong in an organization which would prohibit me from voting for him, merely ,•> tuse he was |born outside of the United Su*es, though brought hero when a child! I have used his name without his authority. I know h will pardon me, when he sees that I have onlv used it to illustrate more strongly to out people, ban l ct.m!*l bv a hundred arguments, the absurd ity of this indiscriminate proscription of foreign horn men from office. If the despotisms of the Old World should ever .(tempt to destroy our Government by sending their population here, i will not, as your Represen tative, pans • to talk or argue about our naturali zation laws. I shall speak and vote for prohibit ing anv foreigner from treading his foot upon our -oil ! 1 shall strike at the root not waste my time and energies in lopping off the branches. I have always understood that three grand lead ing ideas run through our institutions, giving them ill of their vitality, their beauty, and their power. First, that the people are capable of self-govern ment. This is the doctrine of the Kansas-Xehras- Ra bill. Second, that we had made an asylum to which the oppressed of every land might come as ;. refuge ; that here they might worship as equals at tiie altar of our liberty ; that, here they might iifi up t!e ir hearts to their God, according to the dictates of their consciences, and there should be none to molest them Third, that tie r< should be no aristocracy «*t birth. 1 have regarded, and do regard, those as the peculiar pride and boast of my eountrv. 1 regard them as the three grand and massive pillars upon which the whole magnificent structure of our Government rests. I will not, ! by an- action of mine, deface or mar these pil lars. I hare been often asked if 1 am not in favor of reorganizing the Whig party ? I answer that, in the present condition of parties ftr.d the country, in m v judgment, such an effort can do no good, and might do groat harm. l sa tu you, that wc have no sound material North" r.ui of which to re-construct that party. Look back at tie past. Every Whig Representa live from the North, in 1 s4v, voted Ur the Wilmot Proviso. But three of them out of seventy-three voted for the Fugitive Slave Law that law which does but common justice to the South, and which is commanded by the Constitution itself! Not one Whig North of Mason and Dixon's line voted for the Kausns-Nebruska bill, of lAoi! On all these measures a majority of the northern Democrats voted with the South. Have we, then, not reach -1 that point, in the North, pro-supposed by Mr. Clay when he said, “If the Whig party ever bc -1 comes merged into a contemptible Abolition par ■ - , I will abandon it in disgust?” and should not v, o, his old followers, take his implied counsel and his prnpos: 1 example, when he says, “I will act with that party, whatever its name mav be, that stands by the Constitution and Union?" To en deavor now to organize the Whig party, would be but to divide and distract the sound national men of the South. Where have we an ally in tin- North, outside of ;ut“ Democratic organization!' These allies have , been true to us in the past. With a patriotic de- 1 vution to the union of the States, and a patriotic . regard f the constitutional rights of the South, ' they have bared their bosoms to 'he ragiagsof the j storm —tht y have stood unmoved, while malignity j and fanaticism have poured their fiery torrents up- , ; i u them. I take them to nir heart as poiiiical i brothers, and wear and cherish them there. , How stands the Democratic party? I have giv en v-a the resolution of the present members of , Congress. . , . _ Listen to Ohio! Nieepedas -ue has been in froe soilism • in State Convention assembled, with the boldness of right—with the candor of manhood, sir v declare, on the Bth day ot January List, as j follows; . “1. /.V- Iced, That slavery being the creature of positive law, cannot exist without it, is a do-j m ■ T ic institution, and that Congress has neither the power to legislate it into an v Territory or State, to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own wav, subject onlv to the Constitution of the United States ” Rit ’iced-. That the right of the people of ~ j..;-, particular State and Territory to establish their own Constitution or form of government, to choose and regulate their own domestic institu te ns of every kind, and to legislate for themselves, is a fundamental principle of all free government) and that it is the solf-sauie right to secure which our ancestors waged tiie war of the Revolution a right lying at the vert foundation of all our free institutii-ns, recognized in the Declaration ot Inde , pendence, and established by the Constitution of the United States ; and we hereby endorse and ro - affirm this now disputed principle.” Contrast this with the resolve of the Know No thing Convention at Cincinnati, r Listen to Indiana, as she, too, speaks in her Dc t mocratic State Convention. She says : ‘R ffr d, That we approve the principles of the a Compromise measures of 1 SSO, and their applies '■ tion, as embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and will faithfully maintain them.” Hear the Democracy of New York, as the-, , too, in Convention declare: “Resolved, That the determination of Congress, avowed in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, to reject from the national councils the subject of slavery in the Territories, and to leave the people thereof free to regulate their domestic institutions in their own | way, subject only to the Constitution of the United ' States, is one that accords with the sentiments of i the Democracy of the State, and with the tradition al course of legislation by (.'(ingress, which, under , Democratic auspices, lias gradually,’ in successive j territorial hills, extended the domain of popular i rights and limited the range of congressional ac | tion ; and that we believe this disposition of the question will result most auspiciously to the peace of the Union and the cause of good government.” All, everywhere, from Maine to Texas, speak the I same language, declare the same principles, and rally under the same flag! Is not this party na tional ? Contrast these resolves with the fact, that the Know Nothing party, but two years old, lias ; managed, even in that short time, to be in favor of i secresy against secresv, in favor of test oaths against test oaths—in some .States for the Catholic test, in others against the Catholic test—on one side (if tha Union for the twelfth section, on the other side against the twelfth section; and in the late Convention, at one time the Southern chivalry bolt, at. another the Freeaoilers bolt, and tell me if you can support such a party, even though Millard Fillmore is its candidate for the presidency! As to the Black Republican party, it now has the Speaker of the House of Representatives. En couraged by past successes, it has become insolent ly bold, and grasps with an eager hand for the reins of government. If it succeeds, if it elects a President, and gets possession of both Houses of Congress, it will carry out its infamous circle of measures : the repeal of the fugitive slave law, the abolishment of slavery in the District of Columbia, interdict the inter-slave trade between the States, restore the Missouri restriction, aud refuse to ad mit any more slave States! Who is it that docs not know (he Union would not survive an hour ‘ Our danger is not from the Pope, not from foreign ers, but is from the Abolitionists. What, then, is our first solemn, patriotic duty ? Tr is that we should band together as one man. It is that we should each bring his former prejudices and lay them down upon the altar of our country—that we should leave the past to “bury its own dead,” and look to and fight alone for the preservation of the Consti tution and the Union' r I have seen the Democracy come down from the North and up from the South, and gathering in solid column around the Constitution, declare that the rights of the South, the just equality of (he States, the capacity of man for self-govern ment, are their bonds of brotherhood ; that they j will protect that Constitution against all the as saults of all the isms in the land. While they continue to occupy thin proud position, I am with them and of them! Under God, I believe that the Democratic is the only political organization with which we can beat this Abolition horde from the Capitol. While I tans believe, I shall continue to act with them; and when the fight is done, when the victory is achieved, when our gallant old 1 ship is again afloat in the sunshine and upon quiet seas, I shall turn round to my Democratic breth ren, and, if I have any unadjusted quarrels, T will settle them then. And now, fellow-citizens, I submit if I have not redeemed my pledge, that I would set myself fair I lv, fully, frankly before you. 1 trust that my posi- , tion will meet with your approval. If it should : not, I have only to say that it has been taken after j due deliberation—taken under a solemn sense of ! duty to you and the country. My opinions are my lionest convictions, and if disapproved, I can re tire from office. 1 cannot yield those convictions. 1 throw myself upon a generosity and kindness 1 which took me bv the hand when all obscure and i unknown, and lifted mo up to a scat in the Con gress of the United States, and which, when shin dered and abused in my last canvass, during nit absence, sustained me with an emphatic indorse ment. I submit it fearlessly, confidently to you, whether 1 shall return to ray home under the frown of your condemnation, or whether 1 will again be greeted with that plaudit ever so dear to a public man, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant." In any event, I am truly yours, Samcki. Oari 'mints. Hoes;: ok It eerks kn t ati ven, I Washington, deb. 2ff, Is fa'. Death oe Yocxu Hammond. —Our readers will ! remember the horrible death of Amos W. Ham- 1 maud, Jr. who was found on the morning of Christ mas last affixed to ihe cow catcher of the passen ger engine of the Macon and Western railroad. We stated in our notice of the affair that suspicions were afloat that the young limn had been foully dealt with. Nothing, however, definite at that \ time could be proven, and the matter has remain ed to the present a mystery to those who believed otherwise than that his death was the result of an accident. At length, however, after the elapse of three months, the question of young Hammond’s j death has been revived. We learn that a woman by the name of Taylor appeared Indore the Grand Jury on Tuesday, and charged two men, by the name of Taylor and Harrison, and a woman, by ! the name of Davis, with the murder of Hammond. • We have not learned the nature of her testimony : ii was sufficient, however, to induce the Grain! Jury to find true bills against all tiie parties. The woman, Davis, has been arresied ; Taylor succeed ed in escaping, after being shot at by the Sheriff'. j Harrison, we learn, i> in jail at Chattanooga. The entire matter will soon undergo the investi gation of a regular trial, when we will inform our , loaders of the result. A tianUi lot., April so . Tor. Occupants of tub French Throne.— Not a little remarkable is it to observe that from the j accession of Louis XIV., to tie- present time not a ’ single King or Governor of France, though none of them with the < x >ptiou of Louis XVIII., j have been childless, has been succeeded at his do- : miso by his son. Louis XIV. survived his son, his grandson, and several of his grand-childr; n, • was snceed at last by one of the younger child- ; ren of his grandson, the Duke of Uurgundv. Lou- j is XV. survived his son, and was succeeded by his i grandson, Louis XVI. Louis XVI. left a son be- ’ hind him, but that son perished in the filthy dun- : geon to which the cruelty of she terrorists had i consigned him. The King of Home, to wk in Napoleon fondly hoped to bequeath the Loundl- -- empire he had won, died a colonel in the Austrian ; service. Louis XVIIL, was, as we have said ; childless. The Duke de Bern fell by the hand of j an assassin in the life time of Charles XI., and his I son, the Duke de Bordeaux, is an exile from the : I land which his ancestors regarded as their own j 1 estate. The eldest son of Louis Phillippe perish- ; ed bv an untimely accident, and lus grandson ; and heir does not sit upon the throne of his grand- ! father. Tail's, then, it appears, that for upward of two hundred years in no one of the dynasties t > which j France has been subjected has the son succeeded j to the throne of the father. —Tondov Tima. Tn« Mime Bali and tiik “ Balls a Tiui\”—The ball invented, by Maj. Minie, from which it takes 1 its narndiffers from the ' at' . > only in the j mode of producing the spread of the base to meet | the width of the barrel. Both balls are of precis ■- ; !v the same exterior form, and of the same weight, being oblong, with a conical point; and the Mini ' 1 hall being hollow two-thirds of the length from ! the base.

The j “An<rel Gabriel” riot excitement continued, and some six or seven hundred arrests had been made. The blacks, who had been incited to deeds of vio lence against the Portugese, by this “Angel,” . who is in prison, ! had pulled down, plundered and set, fire to a good many Roman Catholic Churches and Portuguese ships. The autliorilies has sent to a number of islands lor vessels ot war to protect the place. Business was dull in consequence ot the riots. — • Flowers. —‘‘April showers make May flowers, and uow is the time to plant the hundreds little annuals. Nonetheless beautiful because cheap p.ud common. Annual flower seeds should be sowed quite shallow, and if the weather prove dry, water them until the seeds have sprouted; as soon as they have become large enough to work, thin them out judiciously ; they cannot bloom well if crowded together. The blooming of annuals may be hasted by frequently watering the plants with guano water—a gill of guano to one gal lon of water. The same application may be applied to rose bushes, after the bud has formed, take care to loosen the ground around the bush with a fork, that the liquid may soak iu about the roots. It will give also an immense bloom to the peonia, if applied after the flower buds formed. ; Flowers, to bloom well, should be frequently worked, and the ground kept clear of woods and grass. If any plant is worth cultivating, it is worth cultivating well. What Little Children Get at School. A bevy of little children were telling their father what thov giit at school. The eldest got grammar, ge igraphv, arithmetic, etc. The next got reading, spelling, and definitions. “And what do vou get 1 my lutle soldier?” said the father to 'a rosv cheeked little fellow, who was at that moment “lily driving a ten-pennv nail into a door panel. “Me"’ oh, I gets reading, spelling, and spankings.” , H \k T 5 Rl ?° ~ on an ? evening be tween the hours of eight and nine o’clock there ra«y b f an expanse of pure light spreading I from '‘iat " here the sun sets along the hon . 7,011, and rising in the form of an o range quarter :1 obliquely towards the south, the apex being in e i that direction, and a few degrees short of the Scv o |cn Stars.
