the United States, it was made one of the corner-stones An't>“ 9 a P'Otestant was the first to proclaim it, and a Catholic colony the first to give it practical effect, and all th* States aiterwards embodied it as a living principle in the organic law ot their union, there let it remain forever, an a binding pledge for that “love, tneekne** and forbearance” which should everywhere, and at all times, characterize a Christian people. In this way, we 6hall perpetuate that re ligious as well as civil liberty we received as the richest of all patrimonios from our lathers ; and in this way we shall show our attachment and “intense feeling” for that true Americanism with which they were so thoroughly imbued. 1 shall now glance briefly at the proceedings of the late Philadelphia Convenlion and its pro gramme of principles, and bring this address to a close. My remarks on this shall first be directed to the composition of the Convention. Its Northern ehnents, with hut few exceptions, almost every body objests to. By general consent they are held to have been very unfit political associates. But I am not satisfied with its Southern composition. In the first place, I do not like the name I see signed to the proceedings as the presiding genius of the body —"E. B. Bartlett, of Kentucky, President of National Council.” [Mr. Thomas M. Turner here interrupted, and said that Mr. Bartlett vva.s a Southern man and a slaveholder, he was informed, and President of a Baptist College in Kentucky. That may all he true, but it seems he was th fa vorite of the. Freesoilers; and I have heard it sta ted that he was in favor of abolition in Kentucky a few years ago. Can my fiiend inform me if that is true- Ido not know whether it is or not, and should like to have all doubt removed cu this point. [Mr. Turner, in reply, said again, he ie a slave holder! Yes, and so was Cassius M. Clay; and so, I sup. pose, are Mr. Neil S. Brown of Tenn., Mr. Pilch er of Ky., Mr. Houghton and Mr. Rayrier, of N. C., all mernbere of this National Council, and all of whom are reported to have declared themselves mgainst the policy and propriety of the Kansas end Nebraska act ot the last Congress. The latter gentleman, Mr. Raynor, is said to have denounced it as “an outrage upon the North.” Now can my friend inform me whether Mr. Bartlett entertains similar opinions? [Mr. Turner. He voted for the majority Plat- ! form.] Yes, and so did Mr. Rayrier and the others I have named. But does he, or how many of the {Southern members even, of that Council, approve those existing laws which that Platform barely promises to abide by? Was the very President of this Council one of the original friends of the Kan sas bill, or was he one of its enemies? How stands my friend himself—was he a friend of the Kansas bill? And if so, is he now willing to trust its fate and safety in the hands of those who fought ltlun til fighting waß unavailing, and who nbw simply say that it may stand as it i ? I tell him I was a friend of the Kansas bill in the beginning, • in its i progress, and throughout the eventful conflict at-| tending iis passage. It took off the odious restric- ! tion against slavery, which h-'d been unjustly put i upon those territories thirty years and more before, j It \vrn the greatest act of justice to tfie South ev- j er passed by Congress. Iknowwhaiit cost and ; what it is worth; and for one, I am indisposed to j confide its safe keeping in the hands of those who j opposed it by all the power and influence they j could command while it was an open question,and : who do not now even say that it was righ, or give i it tlreir approval. The authorized Reporter (as he j jnyO of the proceedings of this National Council ; makes this significant comtnen 1 : “A striking fact and one that you caunot have failed to remark has been disclosed in this discus sion, and that was, that while the emire South wa3 a umt on the nnjor tv platform, scarcely a member from thence, in the many speeches made by them, assayed an apology for the Kansas Nebraska act; and whilst generally subscribing to the doctrine of non-intervention, nevertheless repudiated the ad ministration which foisted it upon the country at the tremendous expenditure of plighted faith.” Now this is a most striking fact—one that struck me, and one that ought to s-rike the whole South with profound astonishment! Scarcely a member j from the whole South in this grand National ! Council who even assayed an apology for the \ Nehraska-Kansas Bill, and whose warm opposi- j tion to the administration, it seem, was the ‘‘Joist - i ing of this great act of justice to the South upon the o entry.” Now, l say to all of you, there|are many ■ things in this administration that I do not approve. ! and w uld willingly join any party to *ut a better j one in its stead, but so far as ii aided or countenan - j ced the Kansns-Nebraska Bill it received and has j my hearty approval. The greatest objection I had j to it on that score was that it did not, in my opinion, ; give the measure that cordial support which it j should. And if the object of the American pariv i be to turn it out and put down those men North, ’ to say nothing of ihose South, who gave 119 that groat measure of deliverance, and for nothing so much as doing that, then they can never have mv co-operation, even it we agreed in every other arti cle-d their creed. Onr last legislature unanimous ly declared: “That opposition to the principles af the Ne braska Bill, in relation to the subject of slavery, is regarded by the people of Georgia as hostility to the people ot the Souih, and that all persons who parnike i t , such opposition are unflt to be recogniz tMl as component parts of any partv or organiza tion not hostile to the South.” On this resolution, and the Georgia resolutions of 1850,1 stand, and shall continue to stand. And without looking further into the elements or com position ot th's National Council, if what the re porter of their proceedings says of even the Sou th? rn members ot it be true, it is sufficient to enlist my opposition to them as a political organization, even it we agreed on other matters. .1 shall affil iate m party association with no man North or ■ I itu, who either looks upon this act as an “out ta p’ on the North, or who is arrayed against its? spirit, principles or objects. Hut, I wish at this time to sav a word or two, and only a word or two o the Platform itself. It acknowledges the “existence of an Almighty Being wuo ruiee over the Universe,” and has in every our progress thus far distinguished us by some “token of Providential agency.” And I wish at this threshhoid of the concern, to ask what ,uore important step in our advancement did we ! tivcr take than the acquisition of Louisiana ? That vast territory that stretches from the Gulf to the L'ikes, and trom the Mississippi to the Rocky . [the weight of authority is! even to the acitio ? Had this American Party then bee.! m power, with its anti-Catholic sentiments ful ly developed and carried into effect, would we ev er have taken that grand step ? Louisiana was Lathohc, and would her people havo ever consent ed to become incorporated into this Union, except by *t*h’inn treaiy guaranteeing them a;l the rights secured by the ConMiiituti. n ? Had they then dreamed ot the modern construction and evasion of that instrument, would they have consented to the cession ? Would they willingly have permit ted their lots to he cast amongst a people who re garded ‘hem on account of their religion as unfit to m id any place of trust <*r profit, k sort of Lep ers, to be cast out of ‘he political camp ? The same may be said O! Florida - that was a Catholic coun try at the time of in? acquisition. And light here, let me *av, if Uiis ‘ Know No-hing” intensely Ame rican feeing shall become a dominant in thfs coun try, Cuba, of course, will never be acquired. The people are Catholic. And as much as they might desire to get r and of their present oppressions and become ijicgrporatei io this Uukm of States, ua- dor the guarantees of the Const tution as hereto fore understood, they would hardly be willing to link their destinies with a people who looked upon them # politically untrustworthy. But what is said in this platform about the “Union” being the “paramount political good,” I consider as di rectly opposed to the Georgia Resolutions of 1850. The Union, dear to us all, as it is and ’should be, is • held in those resolutions as subordinate to our I rights! Iso hold it still. And so far from being j per se “the paramount political good,” it might and inav, in bad hands, become the greatest possible j curse. So long as it carries out the principles and objects for which it was made, it shall have my ardent and most patrintic support. But I do not like to see a dangerous principle 90 artfully cover ed up and glossed over as this ‘‘paramount politi j cal good,” doctrine is in this programme. It is like j a grain of poison thrown in the chalice. But, fellow citizens, I have said all that I intend i to say ; ail that my strength will permit me to say. i I have given my views upon what constitute some ! of the features of genuine Americanism. The parly now styling itself exclusively American, is, as you perceive, in my judgment, Anti-American throughout. The two great objects lie at its foun dation, and upon which its whole superstructure j is reared, are the proscription of ail foreigners ! trorn office, as a class, and a like proscription of i all Catholics as a clase. These objects, in my opinion, are inconsistent, and at war with the es tablished principles of our government. As to the outside principles put forth at Philadelphia, oven those which may be unobjectionable ae gen erally admitted truisms, they in every practical point of view, amount virtually to nothing. They are but the tubs thrown out for the whale. Taken as a whole, it ma) be considered as one of the most “whimsically dovetailed” diatribes of piety and politics—religion and mammon—unmeaning generalities and radical errors—that ever was se riously presented to the deliberate consideration of an intelligent people. This, however, is but the outward show. The party is to judged by its in a’de principles. These are not to be changed.— The same process of initiation, and the same obli gations by all its members, never to vote for a for eigner or a Roman Catholic to any office of pro fit or trust, are still preserved. An effort was made to modify this exclusion of Catholics, so far as American born Catholics are concerned, but this failed. What, then, on such an issue, if it be made, ought all good citizens to do ? Whether this issue shall be presented to the peo- 3 pie of Georgia, Ido not know. But if it is, I say • to One and all, take your place on the side of relig- j ious and civil liberty, as taught by your fathers ; I takevour place by the Constitution of your country I —sustain its standard—keep the flag afloat—and ! as far as in each of you lies, let it be transmitted | to the remotest generations, unsullied and unim- 1 paired.

OWING to the large amount of Counterfeit Pain Killei put up and sold a? get utne by unprincipled men, w e have been obliged to resort to very expensive measures to protect ourselves pecuniarily, and the public from great injury, by buying and using their worth’ees counterfeits. Ti e compar ative plain and simple style in which our Pain Kiikr has beeh put up, has made it very ea-y for those disposed,to im itate it very succ> Ssdiily, as far as its external npp arance, in stjie of bottle, label, and color of the article; but we need not say that the compound is a miserable, filthy production, and calculated to do great injury to those who might use it with thecoDfldence they haie been accustomed to use the genuine Fein Killer. Parties whose business it is tr counter feit valuable preparations, do it in such a secret manner,that It i>i almost useless to attempt to punish thf rn by legal meas ures, as it is difficult, and we mighl say impossible to bring the proof home to them. Considering the great difficulty in protecting ourselves and the public by prosecuting parties, we have bev nto a very great expense in getting up a finely executed STEEL ENGRAVED LABEL, or our bottles. We also attach to our bottles a Steel.
