subject, from which it appears that iu all the departments
of the Central Government, including ’he State Depart
ment, Treasury, Interior, War, Navy, Po t Office, At
torney-General’s Office and Judiciary, there are 4,476
officers ; oi these, 3,077 are Americans by birth, and on
ly 469 foreigners ; the birth-place of the other 830 is put
down as unknown ; aun in no one department arc tlurc
mere foreigners tiian Americans—or even one-third es
many bo that this resolution has not a peg u to hang up*
on; ‘ and nre you going to risk your American party to
say in tliifi resolution what is utterly unsupported by fact?
1 he 4:h resolution 1 tha'l pass over, as relating to mat
ters about which 1 know but little, and you, who will be
failed upon to vote on it, not much more, I expect. It
dots not concern u much, any way. To the people of
New \ erk and other iSta=i s, l am willing to leave .all such
matters as concern their own internal domestic State poii
cy. Ido not w ish them to meddle with ours, and we
could not set them a better example than by refusing to
mix ourselves up with theirs. I don’t knew, even, that
all t! *cse things here stated are true ; it wiy bo that some
ol them are like a statement going the rounds ot tho pa
pers, and which Mcluncthon repealed, that Lafayette bad
“declared that if the liberties of this country were ever
destroyed, it would be by Lomisfi Priests.” Now, 1 have
no idea that Lafayette ever said any such thing. Why
Should he? lit* was a Catholic, as I understand. Ho
certainly was by education mid association, if not by pro
fjssion. I sou it stated tlia these words have been taken,
dug out, Iroin a letter written by Lafayette to a friend in
thin country as follow? :
[ cannot but admire your noble sentiments of devotion
and attachment to your country and its institutions. But I
inu;t bo permitted to assure you that the fears which, in
your patriotic zeal, you seem to entertain, that if ever the
Liberty of the 1/rated States is destroyed, it will be by Ho
rn <Bn priests, are certainly without any shadow oi founda
tion whatever. An intimate acquaintance of more than
halt a century with UlO piominent and influential priests
and members of that church, both ns Europe and America,
warrants me in assuring you that you need entertain no
apprehension of danger tu your republican institutions from
that quar or.”
If this be the origin of the'rnatter, how confound the state
ment? [Dr Pendleton here interrupted, and said t* >t he
could prove that this letter was a forgery.j Mr. Stephens
continued:--1 know nothing touching its authenticity; it
may be a forgery; but it has no such internal evidence.
It ih just such a letter as itrnmht be supposed that Lafayette
would have written, and much mo:e likely to have written,
than ever to have used the words as attributed to him, and
ju the senso attributed to him, no good evidence of which
have I yet seer., and I do not believe that he over did.
But I leave this matter, and pass on to the sth resolution
in the series. This declares that, the Philadelphia Platform
as adopted by the majority of Ine National Council of the
American party, on the subject of Slavery, is Conservative,
National, &c. Now, what does that Platform do, and
what does it amount to, so far as the subject of Slavery and
the Kansas-Nebraska Bill in particular, is concerned ? It
simply declares the existing laws ought to be abided by.
This is the declaration of the majority only, and a very small I
majority at that. But why were not the principles of the !
existing laws approved ? Were the majonty of that Con- ;
vention or Council opposed to the policy of the Kansas j
Bill, and only willing now, as good citizens, to abide by ;
what was done ? Why did their Platform not approve it ? j
The reason to my mind is apparent. A resolution to that i
effect would have blown the Council “sky high,” the South |
otn wing as well as the Northern ! Mr. Payner, of North I
Carolina, one of the leading spirits from the South in that I
body, openly denounced the Kansas Bill as the great “out- !
rage.’’ Mr. Brown, Ex-Governor of Tennessee, also do- j
dared that he had been opposed to the Bill, but was now I
willing to abide it; so did Pilcher, of Kentucky; and j
Houghton, ol North Carolina, the authorized reporter oi !
the proceedings, says that scarcely a member in the body
from the entire South ‘Assayed anapology ” for it. This is
the reason that there was no approval of it. And are you
“Georgia Platform” men—men who have professed to’ be
willing to stand bytho Resolution of our last Legislature
passed unanimously — g oing now to endorse the sentiments
and hold party fellowship with even such Southern men !
But the resolution now before you styles this Philadel
phia concern a National Platform! National indeed!
How many men from the North voted for it? And who
are they ? Only six from ail the free States, except Cali- !
fornia!
[Mr. Wilds here interrupted, and said there were thirty
one ]
No, sir—there wero only thirty-one from the entire
North, as l understand it, that did not abandon the Con
vention when the majority carried their resolution, such as
it is, simply to abide by existing laws. There were but six
men from the Northern States proper, who voted thus to
let matters remain as they are. four of them were from
New York—Barker, Lyon, Mallory and Squires; arid two
from Permsyl vania— Beeman and Vanda no —six in all. I
hate the ayes and noos before mo —the tour from Califor
nia added make ten in all from the whole sixteen free
States together, who gave their votes to this Conservative
National Platform l And now, who am those six men
from New and Pennsylvania who constitute the basis of
thiri National American organization ? Every one of them
opposed to the Kansas bill before it was passed—bitterly
opposed and politica'y hostile to those true men at the
North who voted iu Congress for that measure. Still op
posed to them ; and one of their main objects now is to put
*uem down and drive them from the councils of the nation
for nothing so much a3 their having foisted” (that is the
word these National Americans at the North use,) this
measure upon the country ! Are we to trust the safety of
mis great measure of justice to the South in the hands of
such men—to say nothing of their associated sillies, who
would not even agree to let tho law alone—instead of m
the hands of those men at the North who voted for the law
in Congress? Men who stood by the Constitution, and
standing by it, stood by your rights in the most perilous
crisis ] This would be like trusting the lamb to the wolves.
Six men from New York and Pennsylvania to form a Na
tional party upon, and those six opposed to the only friends
we had in the North on the passage of the Kansas bill!
[Mr. Turner, interrupting, was understood to say that
the number of sound men at the North in the American
party was as great, in proportion to the number of men
present in the National Council, as it was in the National
Democratic party.j
Mr. Mephens, continuing said: Sir, I am not defending 1 ;
the National Demoetutie party; it has much bad material ;
in it; men whom i not only repudiate all personal associa- j
tion with, but whom politically I detest and abhor. It is ‘
this unsound portion ottho North which has given that or
ganization “the dry rot” I latoly spoke of, and which will
certainly end, as it ought, in its utter prostration and over
throw unless that unsound portion no cut oil. Butsir,ju3- i
tice as well as duty requires mo to say to the gentleman ,
that bad ns the National Democracy is, it is not quite so j
had astno National American Council,even upon thepriu- i
ciple of proportion. On the passage of the Kansas Nebras- \
ka Bill there wore 87 Northern Democrats in the House of |
Representatives— counting both sound and unsound, good I
“I'd bad. Out of these 87 present, 14 voted for the Bill and j
43 against it, a majority of that organization at the North j
voted tor it. 11 this groat Northern question then ’• J been I
bubmiited to the Nrothern Democrats present in the House j
when the vote was taken—and to thorn only—without an- j
other vote for or against it, either from the North or South, ;
the Bill would have passed. What would have been its
fate, or \our majority platform, if left to the Northern dele- j
station! These 41 men 1 know. 1 was with them in the |
conduit for Kansas tor days and nights together—without i
sleep or rest —and 1 will defend them and stand by them as j
long as they stand by the Constitution, by my rights and i
your rights, Ido not care by “what party name they are ;
called; they are good and true men—tried men—constitu- j
ti nuil Americans to the core. Men who have come out I
ot the heated furnace unscathed ami without the smell of 1
(ire upon their garments, and I give it to vem, rnv country* j
men, you may heed it, or not, as my deliberate opinion, j
that those men at the North constitute the only nucleus ;
around which a sound National party, based upon the j
maintenance o( the Union and our Constitutional rights j
under it,ever can be formed! It is true they all call them- i
scive? Domocmis. Not a Whig or “Know Nothing” ■
rom uio entire Noit'n came to our rescue in tho hour of j
danger. And it any ot these now are disposed to lay j
down Jteir arms ogamst us ought we not to require [them
to lay eo'.vn tue same arms against our friends at the
North, before we taae them into our alliance! Would it
uot bo the mot ungrateful conduct, as well as the most
suictdai policy tor us now to join any party, one of whose
main objects ts to came the overthrow and disgrace of
these our hiemhd Sooner sitouid my tongue cleave to the
root of my mouth, and this right arm fall from its socket,
before 1 wo. Id do it. “lAunogogues and small men” mav
charge'me with having turned Democrat, lor thus defend
ing men who are Democrat#, but who arc, nevertheless
your friends, but it makes no difference with me. By the
irutb, by the Constimno and by your rights and my “own,
I w:L stand or tall, ss the case may be. Ido not care who
rails or who approves. Voltaire may laugh—Uoilingbroke
may s eer—knd \V alpole may say that “every man has his
price,“but 1 lioid tiiat there ic such a thing as political as
well as personal integrity—that integrity which looks to
principles rather than pl- ce or power, to country rather than
party. Ami this i intend to inaiuraio,eveuunto death,
whether political or physical This Union and Southern
rights can be preserved only on the pr.uciptes, as I believe,
?ri f :th in the Georgia Resolutions of IBcQ. ‘fo uphold
and enforce tiie.v. principles, a sound national organization
must be termed, bused upon t.ncn. Such an organization
must look, not to the oterikruw, but the. support anu
maintenance of thc-e men at the north, who not onlv now
ttaud by UiCae principles, but who stood by tnecn during
’ that period which tried men’s souls! * They must be e:-
t t*‘U olrf.iitj* 1 ? in tpy - ‘- ,l or * 1 ! ' f lT '’ l a * of.—
This American party never can be such an organization,
in my opinion, tor, next to its enmity to ioreigers as a
class, and Catnoiics as a elate, its greatest spite, even with
me nest of t.icm Noith, seems to be directed against those
very men at the North to whom I allude, and to whom wo
a^k’ 1 u ,or very principles eo dear to u?, but
which so few of this new order in that, the larger section
tno union, now only promise to abide by, aud without even
j those tew giving them their approval.
, Consider this thing, not a* partisans, but as patriots. —
uoo.t at it dispassionately and practically. Whom must
j - vo ' jr Senators act with in the next Congress, whenever
’ your righta or your principles are concerned? With Hale
■ ana >* nson—“Know .Nothings”—or with Douglas, Tou
| e f.y au “ Broadhead—Democrats? And if I am beaten
whom must mv successor act with on ail like questions ?
Vv till ins Anti Catholic, Anti Foreigner, Ametieaa brother
or witn Richard-on, Harris, the Allens, and others of the ]
sai £ e stamp, all Democrats.
eut I snail say no more—l am exhausted —would that l
my strength ana physical abiiity wero commensurate with
tne intensity of my feelings upon tho subject, and tho'mag
mtude ot your interests involved in the issue. We are pas
sing an important crisis in our history. Old parties arc
dissolving, and new elements aro combining upon new j
principles and new issues To all who ask where I am j
going, 1 say lsiiall so no where but stand first by the Con- j
stituUou and those principles of Americanism which it, in !
my judgment, as you have this day heard, was intended to j
establish and perpetuate* and also by the same principles j
that I stood by in the last Congress in the conflict on the 1
Kansas Bill. And it elected to Congress, I shall stand by 1
the same men there who stood with tne then, and all oth
ers who may now or hereafter join us in saving aud se
curing that and other kindred measures, whatever party
name they may bear. There is no party organization at
this time, either State or Federal, that commands my en
tire confidence. I recognise allegiance to none ; and shall
truckle to the mandates of none. I acknowledge and
own fealty to nothing on earth but the Constitution and
my country. The-e, while life shall fast, to the utmost o!
my ability, I shall defend now and always.
(Alter Mr. Stephens concluded his remarks upon the j
Resolutions, the question was put on their adoption, and
decided lost by the Chairman. A division wae called for,
and a like decision made. One of the friends of the reso
lutions then called for a division, putting the question him
self, and pronounced them carried.)

Duramen ot the Liver.—When the celebrated Dr,

bus accounted tor. Tho true cause of conduct, which is taken i
for intatuatioDj is very frequently a diseased state of the L.iver. •
No organ of the system, when deranged, produces a more •
frightful catalogue7>r diseases. And if, Instead of applying j
remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to oltcn the
case, physicians would prescribe with a view <o tn original j
cause, fewer deaths would result, from diseases induced by a
