TUtBTV-FOVBTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION'. DISMISSAL OF THE BRITISH MINISTER. u-iiiv<;tox. May 29. —Senate.—The message ! President, informing Congress that he had ! i to hold intercourse with the minister pleni- ■ a rv of Great Britain having been read, to il j!i the last communication of Mr. Marcy ", \fr, Dallas — - Mason moved that the message and accom * ,ndocuments be referred to the Committee reigu Relations, and be printed. Cass said : I have listened with pleasure to reading of the despatch of the Secretary of It is a powerful and conclusive analysis of .ehtde case. It appears to me that the honor rhe country imperatively required the dismissal :iis officer. My desire is to have the facts • ad before the people. i:. Mason—L read, as doubtless other Senators a ill great care and deliberation, the despatch h the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, "d Clarendon, has written in reply to the de :;J made by this government for the recall of Oramptou, the British Minister, and to which despatch of Mr. Marcv, just read at your table, a answer. I was gratified to find that its tone I' ‘lnperate, courteous, and counciliatorv. It ia d a full, unreserved, and unqualified dis- I ?! of all intended offence on the part of the ~h government, couched in language which I . ~-ii me as peculiarly emphatic and well suited I -he occasion. So far as the act of its Minister j was concerned, the despatch stated, in sub ] •, that the contents of Mr. Marcy’s letter hud I a made known to him lor the purpose of ex -1 .nation, and that his own government was satis- I ; that their Minister had no desire or purpose to unit any infraction of our laws or any disres : to our sovereign tv. whole despatch of Lord Clarendon, as I said, was conciliatory, and, as I thought, ami justly conceived; but it contained no ! response directed to the demand of this eminent. The British government did not whether it would or would not recall its and 1 construed it to mean that if, as I . -a . J in the despatch of Mr. Marcy, t.ierc I mained an opinion in the American govern i: that the British Minister here was tmaccepta . it, they did not feel themselves at liberty to I use further. Iso construed it. Tiie ven interesting and able document which h a read. lam gratified to tiud, is of the -nrueter with the despatch to which it is an . t. It, too, is temperate, calm, and conciiia , li receives, in the spirit in which it was of i. the disclaimer on the part of the British u-riim ‘tit, and 1 confess, for myself, 1 thought i After recapitulating the proofs implicating .-British Minister here in acts discourteous to autre, which, whether so designed or not. r in derogation of the sovereignty of the cotin : ,v. - intended, as I understand, to show the - i government that our self-respect required original demand should he carried into execn- T British government was therefore iu ,mvd that the British Minister continued unac dile in this country, without any imputations i'ii as a a nth-man or a Minister representing oen judgment, as he considered, in the best .it;:; r, tie- im-rests of his own country. -a Britain lias Ir-. n informed that, because of ■ .• relations which lie bad established here, he continue unacceptable tons, and probably til not be useful to bis own Government, uric 1 know, from the temper of our people, and nelievc 1 know from the dispositions of the pre -■u! administration, nothing could be furtherfrom ■a. ir purpose or design tiian to commit any dis i: s\ la the British Government, I hope, from i u actor of the correspondence, no discourte - will Be inferred. I can see none in the temper ■ the paper, and I can see none in the occasion ; hm I am free to declare-as a Senator and thus irii. ipating in the Government) that, under the •vunistnm es existing, under the proofs connect .g tin- British minister with the enlistments for .a Foreign Legion of Great Britain, however he not have designed it —and 1 take his dia ler as it has been given to us, however lie may i have designed to complicate himself with a :estion which would be offensive to our country a disregard of our laws, the fact remains that did so, and there is no alternative on the part of .is Government but to dispense with his further -idence among us. I can see no cause in the ild even to alienate the two countries. 1 shall ,ve misapprehended the despatch of Lord ! un ndon if it will not be received, as it was in uded, to place this subject at the disposal of our Government, without construing the dismissal of cir minister into any discourtesy whatever. Mr. Cas-—Mr friend from Virginia intended to i..ve for the printing of an extra number of Mr. .Marcy'.- Ivspatch, but be omitted to do it, and 1 now suggest that it is a measure which ought to ■ taken. The despatch is a very important one. 1 bare already expressed my gratification at its vner, at its logical purport, and at its general ... "or. It is written with great power, and in nc of courtesy becoming our Government in - diplomatic intercourse. Tii suspension or interruption of diplomatic lations between the two countries is a very ordi nal v event in the intercourse of nations, and can ’ lead to war unless one or the other of the par - is determined upon that extreme measure. N’o is; cause of war can arise out of such an act. In tirst place, the British Government should not > • t it- displeasure upon our Minister in London ..-mis-ing him. There is no pretext for it. It ■ 1 bclii-ve, the comitv of nations that when a Mm - cr is ofieusive to the Government to which - accredited, he should be recalled. An am ador, who is a Minister of the highest grade, an ! represents, as it is said, the person of the sov '■it'ign, is never sent to a European Government, •'■ iiluHit, iii the tirst instance, ascertaining if lie will be acceptable. This is the common law of di plomacy. leaving everything else out of view, I ill; the moment the British Government ascer tained that Mr. ('tampion was unacceptable to the 1 icvernmetit and people of this country, it should at mce have cheerfully recalled him ; but it has >t seen proper to do this, and now Mr. Cramp tun leaves here at the desire of our Government. 1 repeat, the suspension of diplomatic relations -a very ordinary occurrence in national inter ■ mrse. When l was commissioned as Minister to France in ISffi?, there had been mfdiplomatic inter course between us and France for perhaps two ears previously. I did not go to France at once. 1 was instructed by Gen. Jackson to go to England; and 1 went there and remained until, through the British government, it was ascertained that it a mid hr agreeable to the French government to . ive a Minister from the United States. I re mained there until that answer came, and the an swer was a very courteous one, and I immediately repaired to Paris, and was well satisfied with my reception. 1 merely allude to this circumstance to show tV.nt the suspension of diplomatic relations should im’ serious cause of apprehension to any man m th> "imtrv. The case of the dismissal of the fI::: - Minister in Spain is a very recent and well known , vent. The act gav eno serious offence to the British government. 1 need not review the vgeumstances. The occurrence is a well-known diplomatic fact. The Spanish government sent t’.e British minister out of the country, and with it the observance of much courtesy. England - If has sent an atnbassabor home u> bis coun try under a guard. I re;* *;,t, unit's- Holland wants to go to war with us. no injury will result from the termination of 'hf tlipl -matie services of Mr. Crumpton. If she - determined *>n war. and seeks only a pretext, that is another question. I do not believe she <l*v>. and have no apprehension of the result. I now suggest that ten thousand copies of this document he printed, as it is a verv important one, and will be read with iuterest bv the Ameri can people. Mr. Pratt—lt e-the motion include the whole correspondence 1* Mr. Cass—The despatch of Mr. Marcv. Mr. Mas<’n 1 think it would be better to have au extra number of the whole correspondence printed. Mr. Cass —Perhaps so; it is an important ele ment of history, and it is too extensive to be pub lished by private enterprise. 1 move, then, for the '■ ituiug i*f ten thousand extra copies all the documeuts. The presiding officer, Mr. Foote in the chair';. Cnder the rule of the Senate the motion for print ing the extra numbers will go to the Committee on Printing. Mr. Too uls. —While 1 agree with the honorable Senator from Michigan, that the dismissal of the British Minister does not necessarily lead to a dis t i rounce of our peaceful relations with Great Britain, 1 must express my regret that the matter has taken this course. Our government, having been satisfied, as it acknowledges, with the repre , sentations of Great Britain upon the question in dispute, ought to have allowed the Britishj Minis ter to remain as a necessary consequence. It is in vain for this government to say that the subject in dispute is satisfactorily explained; to declare that I the apology ( >r explanation of the British govern j ment is accepted, and then to go on and remove j l ' le Minister who was the very occasion of the dis j P ut «- While I agree with our government that the explanation was sufficient, I think they greatly | erred, after obtaining a sufficient explanation ; from the British government, in interrupting the I diplomatic intercourse between the two countries. | Mr. Cass.-—I cannot agree with the honorable | Senator from Georgia. I repeat what I said on a I former occasion, the error committed bv this gov ernment was in not sending awav Mr. Crampton as soon as his conduct was ascertained. I think j 11 should have been done the very moment our government found he was an accessory to these I proceedings. That error has, howeveV, been re paired bv the present measure, which I think is j fully justified by the circumstances. If I understand it, for I heard somewhat indis j 1 * net iv, Mr. Marcy has said, with due courtesv, ! that our government exonerates the British goV ! cm ment from any intention of violating our laws, ■ but he does not exonerate Mr. Crompton. The t responsibility of the Minister is to his own govern , ment. That government has not chosen to recall I iiitn. He is, under the present circumstances, an unacceptable diplomatic agent-disqualified to manage the concerns between that country and our-. He has placed himself in such a position that he is unacceptable to the American govern ment and people. Our government has credited the disclaimer of the British government of any intention to violate the laws of our sovereignty, and, in my opinion, has gone quite as far, to say the least of it, as the facts justify; but yet Mr. Crompton has placed himself in a very different predicament. The misfortune is that in our diplomatic inter course with England, she is prone to adopt a vo cabulary of her own, or rather to affix new mean ings to old words. She tells us, m effect, that “en listment ’’ now does not mean, as it formerly did, enlistment for military services, and as common sense tells you it does, but that it means hiring a man to perform a railroad contract. It is an illus tration of the position that “occupy” does not mean “occupy,” but means that you shall not hereafter acquire land. If, Mr. President, you should make a contract that after a given day you will not occupy any land in a certain district, one would suppose it meant what it expressed, and that after that day you must cease your occupation there. Not so, says the British Government; it means quite another thing—that you shall not thereafter acquire any land within the prohibited district, but you may hold what you previously pos sessed ; or, in other words, that occupation means acquisition. Enlistment has now got to be a dif ferent thing from what it formerly was. We are told that it is no violation of our laws or sovereign ty to hire men and to pay their expenses to go to Halifax, under the pretext of a railroad contract, with the understanding that they are then to enlist into the British army. If the law can be thus avoided it is not worth a straw. I think that, un der the circumstances which have been developed, Mr. Crompton is useless in this country as a diplo matic agent. I say this without the least intention of uttering a harsh word in relation to that gentle man, who no doubt thought he was serving his j own country while violating the laws of ours; but j I repeat that the moment this Government inform ed that of Great Britain that its Minister here was uuaccep’able, he should have been grucefullv with drawn. without hesitation and without complaint. Mr. Toombs—l concur in the last remark of the Senator from Michigan ; but we have got beyond that point, and I think the result is an unfortunate one. When 1 rose before, it was only for the pur pose of expressing my disapprobation of this un fortunate result of the controversy. I did not ■boose to go into the enlistment question pending between the two Governments, because 1 differed from my own. 1 think that matter lias been press ed to a point rather of pettifogging than of .states manship. Ido not concur in the extent to which our Government has gone in construing our neu trality laws. I do not think the British Govern ment has violated them in anything which it has done. 1 have heretofore refrained from an expres sion of an opinion on this subject, because the ne gotiations were going on ; and now that they have been terminated, I take this occasion to express i my disapprobation of the construction placed bv > >ur own Government on the neutrality laws of the United States. Mr. Butler L think, with the Senator from | Georgia, it is v«rv unfortunate that the British Minister has been dismissed after this protracted i correspondence. During the time when the allies and Russia were engaged in war, it was highly pro- i per for the United States to say “hands off!” so far as regards our own people in this controversy-, • and especially, in my opinion, as yve had every ! reason at tliai time to conciliate, or, at least, not t to offend, the Russian government. After that oc casion has passed, when the subject has been t lenghtily discussed, ami everything is on the ebb, ; I think this course is hardly proper. Ido not say t that the British government has a right to take ex- t ceptiou to it, but I would much prefer to have had I the thing don: at once or not at all. 1 know no reason why the two governments should he in- t voiced in commercial difficulties and retaliation, ; much less in war. If the sword is to be drawn I i should regard it as a great calamity; Ido not lies- ; itato to say so. I would avert it, as far 1 could, t by my counsels ; I would avert it, as far as 1 pos- t siblv could, consistently w ith the honor of my I country. 1 The British Minister has been dismissed, and I suppose the developments will afford what our 1 government considers justification for it; but 1 j think, considering the temper which pervades the 1 torrcspondencc of Lord Clarendon, (though I have 1 not read the trluilc of it, and the tone which now 1 seems to pervade the public mind in both coun tries, this will be looked upon as an inopportune 1 ’inie for the dissolution of our diplomaficrelutions 1 with Great ISreat Britain. lam sorry to say that ' such is my opinion. T know the sage counsels of a my friend from Michigan will go very far, and his * remarks may make an impression on the public 1 mind in Great Britain whore mine perhaps will s never eveu drop, i do not say that our govern- ' ment is not justified ; 1 only sav that I think it has 1 chosen a very inopportune time. Mr. Mason Ido not mean to continue this con- 1 vernation (for it is such) further than to add a very ' few words. I understood the Senator from Geor- 1 gia, to say that, in liis judgment, ihe laws of the 1 United States had not been violated by the acts of I the British Minister in the enlistment matter. 1 Mr. Toombs— Yes, sir. Mr. Mason—ls his judgment he right, of course * there \aas not only no ground for dismissing the Minister, but no ground whatever for complaint, j It is, then, a question of fact which will go to the j country, and the country will decide whether the ] Senator from Georgia has taken a correct view of the facts as shown by the evidence, or whether the ] correct view has been taken by the administration. But 1 suppose the Senator from Georgia will ad- ( nut that if the fact be otherwise, and if the British ' Minister, by liis conduct here, did violate the laws of this country, the action of our government . upon it, whether delayed too long or not, was rightful. I have now a word to say in reference t# what ha-, fallen from the Senator from South Carolina, who, l know, looks as closely as any other Senator to the honor of the country. He says he thinks the conduct of the government may be justified. Sir, if the government has done right, its conduct is to be sustained and applauded. This is the view which I lake of it. The Senator from South Carolina says the time had gone by, the war was over, the occasion for these enlistments had ended, the public mind had assumed a more conciliatory tone, and that, because of the delays, it should have been looked on rather as a by-gone affair. Sir, let the Senator remember that "the demand for the re-call of this Minister was was made in a despatch dated at Washington on the -28th of 1 >e cetnb r last, which reached the British govern ment in about ten or twelve days at the furthest, and the reply was dated on the :50th day of April. About four mouths elapsed between the date of ■ the demand and the date of the reply. During I that period of four months the war was ended. , We were not informed of the result of this demand ■ until four months had thus elapsed. The British gov i eminent during that time sent to Mr. Crompton to i >ret his explanation, and was engaged in negotiat i~tur the peace. All this was satisfactorily ex- I plained as cause for delay. Our government is - certainly not responsible for that delay in any form. Then it results, as I understand—such at least is mv impression of the posture of the correspon dence -that the liritish Government declared they oave no instructions which could be construed in ti, a purpose on their part to violate our laws or show disrespect to our sovereignty. They endea vor to show that, so far as the liritish Government ■ire concerned, it has not been done. They regret tb it we should have entertained such an opinion. Tliev disclaim it. It is very well done on the part of the British Government —perfectly acceptable to our Government, and is so declared most explicitly. to the acts of the British Minister here, the Bri tish Government do no more than say that the minister disclaimed such a purpose to them. Our Government are satisfied that although the Min ister did disclaim it, and doubtless disclaimed it as a fair and honorable man—l do not mean to questii n that—the facts remain proven to this Government showing that he did violate our laws. In mv judgment, therefore, if this Government had failed to dismiss the British Minister, the Bri tish Government failing to recall him, they would have been derelict in their duty. | Mr. Cass—Mr. President, in my opinion we j owed it to our position among the nations of the j world to dismiss Mr. Crampton. We could not | have maintained our character without doing it. j The powers of Europe were watching our course, i We demanded his recall when England was en. gaged in war ; we got no satisfactory answer. The tacts are all disclosed now in time of peace, when i the heavy pressure on England is removed ; and for one, as an American, I do not want it said that we made a demand when England was engaged in a mighty conflict, and now, when her difficulties j are removed, abandon the just reparation we de manded. In my opinion we should have received the contumely of the world if we had not brought this matter to its present consummation. The honorable Senator from Georgia says there was no justification for this course. Sir, I* believe there is not a nation of Christendom, and hardly a Mahommedan or a Pagan one, within the verge of civilization, which does not prohibit the enlistment of its inhabitants within its dominions, whether in the form of a railroad contract or a war contract, for the purpose of hostile operations against a friendly power. That we did so, was perfectly well known to the British government and to Mr. Cramptnn from the commencement of the recent European war. In fact, it appears by the report of the Department of State, that when the war first broke out the Secretary explained to the French and British Ministers, who called upon him together to announce that event, our duty and our policy tinder the circumstances, and I believe fur nished them with copies of our statute upon this j subject It was sent by the British Minister to his government; so that ignorance in this case cannot i be offered as an excuse. After a while England j got pressed for men ; she had more money than i soldiers. Then was contrived what was called the foreign-enlistment bill, for the purpose of procur- j ing recruits for her armies. Able men in England opposed to the ministry, such as Mr. Cobden and others, warned Parliament of the difficulties to which that measure would lead. It has led pre cisely as Mr. Cobden had foretold, into serious dif ficulties with us. The British government said they were told that men in this country wanted to go to the Crimea. Men may have been deluded into that service; but for them it was a most unfortunate delusion. The proposition undoubtedly went from the British Minister here, and, I have no question was the re sult of his interviews with persons who desired to manage the affair for their own personal advanta ges. Any man in this country, seriously intending to leave it and join the British army in the Crimea as a private, would have been fitter for an insane hospital than for a warlike camp ; here, free, com fortable, and if industrious, well paid, and with an encouraging future before him ; there—but I need not say what was before him but death. The British Government may have been deceived; how Mr. Crompton could be, with his knowledge of our country, is incomprehensible to me. Still, or dinary sagacity in the men at the head of military affairs in England out to have saved them froth this false movement—ought to have taught them that this was no country to come to recruit men for European armies. The expense in proportion to the success was enormous, and will 1 hope, fur nish a lesson of precaution for the future. What was the operation of this matter? Xo candid man, looking at the facts as disclosed in the Philadelphia trials and otherwise, can doubt that the true purport of the instructions was this: Get men in the United States, but do not get caught; take care and avoid any violation of their laws; bat the men you must get; call them railroad laborers, and send them to Halifax under a con tract to enlist there, and provide them with their passage. This is the plain English of the matter when divested of its diplomatic garb. Xo man can look over the whole papers and read them without being satisfied that this is so. The British government knew that the proceeding was against our laws, as a similar proceeding would have been against their own. Mr. Crumpton knew it. Os course we are ignorant of the language of the in structions, but their purport is sufficiently disclosed by the occurrences. Bo not get caught, was (lie practical}njunctiou. But some ot the offenders have been caught; and ! I repeat that our national character and our stand ing among the nations of the world require that ! Mr. ('tampion should return home by the act of j this government, as lie has not been called home, | as he should have been, by the act of his own. I Mr. Toombs 1 had not intended, by the few i words which 1 uttered si pi ply as an expression of my own opinion, to draw out this debate and j evoke the comments of the honorable Senator from ; Michigan. lam afraid that the principle upou which the Senator from Michigan lias placed this matter is the very one on which our government j has acted. It is one which I heartily disapprove ! of. The Senator says that we could not maintain ! ourselves before the nations of the world if we j made a demand on Eng!aftd when she was under ; the pressure of war, and then abandon it when peace was restored. Mr. Cass—State the whole of my proposition, if ! the Senator pleases. Mr. Toombs—l will do so; or the Senator can ; do it himself. Mr. Cass —I did not say that that was the rea- j son. I >.iid distinctly that the acts of her Minis- j ter had injured Our sovereignty and nationality, ; and now this is not the time to give it up. Mr. Toombs—At any rate, the Senator intima- , ted that that might he a reason. I say it is area- j son which ought not to operate upon a great gov- i eminent like this. It would he very unbecoming j for this government to make a demand, or to al- j low it to be suspected that it made a demand, on i account of the peculiar position of England. Such ] an act would be offensive in any nation. Above ! all, would it be improper for this government to allow a state of peace or war between England and France and Russia to have the slightest influ ence on her conduct? When the government of the United States accepted the explanation of Eng land as perfect, the other consequences ought to have flowed from it. lam afraid that it has re sulted from an idea of what other people might think as to our maintenance of our national honor. In mv judgment there is a safer rule for maintain ing naiional honor. It is not to he found in the opinion of others, but to pursue the course dicta- i ted by justice. Now, as to Ihe other question, to enlist men in j tins country, 1 admit, is against our laws; hut 1 deny that what the British government did was a i violation of them. 1 f the British Minister had is- : sued proclamations and stuck them on this Capi- ! tol, stating that American citizens who chose 1 might go to Halifax and there be enlisted to take sides for Russia or for England, it would not be a violation of the neutrality laws of the United States. I hold to the right of expatriation. I hold to tlie doctrine of Mr. Webster in his letter to Mr. llulse manii. They had a perfect right to go there. This whole dispute has been a technical argument about engaging them to go to enlist. I think the question is too small a one to be made a matter of great demand between two governments. The moment the British government disclaimed, as it did from the beginning, any idea of violating our sovereignty or territorial rights, our government ought not to have gone into matters of conflicting proof as to what had been done by the British government and British Minister. When they disclaimed any idea of violating our laws, or inter feriug with our sovereign rights, the questions in regard to oaths at criminal-court trials ought not to have been allowed for one moment to make an issue with Great Britain. She disclaimed it; so did her Minister. Whether that disclaimer was true or false, thg national honor was satisfied, and the question ought to have remaimed there. Such is mv judgment. Mr. l’ratt—There is one fact which 1 wish to state, which I think has not been alluded to by others—namely, that the letter of apology on the part of the British Government is dated after the peace lately established between the powers of Europe. Then, whatever may have been the state of allairs at the time when the offence was given, England was certainly relieved from all expecta tion of difficulty with any European power at the time when she made this apology, which has been admitted by our Government to be acceptable. The offence charged was, that she attempted to enlist soldiers while engaged in a war with a Government with which we were at peace. Her Government has, in a letter dated the 80th of April, since peace has been established in Europe, disclaimed any intention of violating the law, of the violation of which we complain. Our Govern ment says this is entirely acceptable to them. I concur, then, with the Senator from Georgia and others in saying that I think it was beneath the dignity of this Government to turn off the mere of the British Government, who has made a similar disclaimer, when the British Government itself is relieved from all responsibility. Mr. Mason —Mr. President, it is the tendency of the human mind to differ on facts as they are presented—to draw different inferences and differ ent conclusions. The honorable Senator from Georgia construes the enlistment laws in a man ner very different from that in which I construe them, and in which they have been construed by the federal courts. It is a breach of those laws, as I understand them, not only to engage persons to enlist, but to offer inducements for a man on American soil to leave it and go on a foreign soil to enlist in a foreign service. The Senator from Georgia says he does not understand this to be any violation of law ; in fact, he went so far as to say that if the British Minister had set up a proc lamation here on the Capitol, under his own name, informing persons in the United States that if they would go into the adjacent British dominions they would be enlisted, it would Jiave constituted no violation of the neutrality laws. I take issue with the Senator from Georgia, but I shall not go into the argument. I understand that the federal court at Philadelphia decided the direct opposite. I certainly should have so decided if I had been in court. I apprehend that, when the correspondence is examined, the facts will be found to be substanti ally these : the British Minister at Washington un dertook to construe our laws for himself, and to determine what acts he could do and what acts he could not do in reference to them. His opinion is that what he did, did not contravene our laws. Our courts have decided that it did contravene them, and our government has so decided. If the fact be that he did not violate our laws, he ought not to remain, and he has been dismissed in consequence of it. • Mr. Hamlin—ls there any question before the t feenate? 1 The Presiding Officer—The motion for printing t extra numbers of the correspondence «oes to tho i Committee on Printing. > Mr. Fitzpatrick—My colleague on the committee • Mr. Johnson and myself have consulted upon the matter, and, as the document is one of great interest and importance, we have agreed to report at once in favor of printing ten thousand extra ' copies.

The committee also recommended the adoption of the rules of the last National Convention for the government of the present Convention. On motion of Mr. Rockhill, the report was nnanimouslv adopted, and Mr. Dawson conducted the President to thejehair, who, on taking his seat, said : The summons to preside over the deliberations of the Convention was as unexpected as the honor was undos -rved. The distinguished gentleman who yesterday presided was the connecting link between the past and the present, lie had parried them back to a period when the Democratic party was accustomed to assemble, go forth and do bat tle with a great, noble, anil gallant party. That party with the issues that divided us inis passed away. The great leaders of that party : have, one by one, stolen away to their silent resting places, filled with years and honors, mourned by pol itica 1 frion ds—fo r “ How sleep the bravo who sank to rest With all their country's honors blest.” Others of that noble band who still survive arc with us to-day to take part in our deliberations, and go forth with us to battle for the Constitution and the Union. But, that great party passed away. We find ourselves surrounded bv dangers before un known; and our land from end to end, convulsed ] with faction. On one side are men who will admit foreign born citizens among us only on the condi- 1 tion of serfdom. They would dictate laws that 1 power should onlvbe held by those who bow before the same altar as themselves. They hold that ' they only are tit for power who approach the throne of grace after the fashion they themselves 1 prescribe. On the other side is a faction only more mimer- 1 ous than the lirst—a faction with liberty on their tongues but with treason festering at theii hearts, who profess love for the Union only that they may bury in the ruins of the Union the glorious memo ries of the past and the hopes of the future. This faction is formidable only in case of the success of its attempts to unite against the Demo cratic party with the first. The National Democratic party have met to-day 1 to appoint standard bearers to carry on the war I against these factions. Let us come together like 1 a band of brothers to lav on the altar of patriot ism and of the Union, a willing sacrifice of per sonal preferences, sectional feeling, and, above all, '• private dissensions. Let our deliberations and actions be sanctioned 1 bv higher and firmer motives. Let our preferences for persons be lost in a desire to protect and save the Constitution of the country. With abiding confidence that the kindness which summoned me to this place, will beat" with me in the performance of duty; and that that kindness will pardon any errors I may uninten tionally commit, 1 accept the honorable position in which the kindness of mv friends has placed me.

And having had a long experience, they do not in- 1 tend to be excelled by any landlord. 1 The Furniture, as well as the House, is perfectly ' new. Those acquainted with the topography of Geor- 1 gia, know that within her limits exist some of the t most sublime and "magnificent works of Nature, and Stone Mountain justly ranks as one of the ' number. Southerners who wish to spend their summers at the South, instead of going North, will find the cli mate bracing, and the water pure as the purest. The climate is not surpassed.
