From the Constitutionalist <Jj Republic. Letter from Mark A. Coope|r. The editorial of the Chronicle 4' Sentinel of I the 25th nit., in commenting on my letter to Dr, Branham, gives a new version of'the charges against Gov. Johnson and myself, to wit, he says: “The charges were that he (Cooper) had re fused to vote for Johnson, because Johnson would not reduce the freights on the State Road, for his (Cooper's) benefit.” “That Johnson had reduced the freights and that Cooper now supports Johnson.” “Remember, this editor is here replying to, or commenting on my letter, and would have his readers believe that he has here set forth the charges as they “were" made against me and re sponded to by my letter. This is a gross mis representation, and a perversion of truth as any reader of this will say, if he will publish the let ter. The charges were, Ist. “That I hail received S6OOO, in’consideration of my vote to John son.” 2nd. “That large discrimination had been made in my favor, and against others, and against the interests of, the State, by Gov ernor Johnson, to secure my influence.” This Editor admits that I have denied this, and pronounced them "untrue and false in every form, to every intent and purpose - ” But to ex cuse himself, for charging my denial as “false and untrue,” he falsely states the charges re plied to in my letter, and substitutes the new version. By this, it appears that an houest enquirer after truth cannot rely on his reprensentation. But the new version of the chargeswill not avail him, for it also, is untrue, and unjust; since I did not refuse to vote for Johnson, the opportu nity has not been presented, nor did I say abso lutely that I would not. A “reduction’, “of freights for my benefit," was not the exigency called for ; since, it is true, that at the time (June 1854), when Gov. Johnson voluntarily told me the new tariff was wrong and unjust, and that I should be put on as good footing as when he came into office, the advance on my freights had not yet been made, but only pro posed for August thereafter. Neither had it gone into operation when the Governor and the Superintendent agreed to do what the Governor promised. The idea, therefore, of a reduction for my benefit, was preposterous. They only agreed not to raise it to my injury. All I asked or could ask, was the specific performance of what the Governor had promised, and they hud agreed to. This in a Court of Equity, I would be entitled to have "nunc pro tunc." , And, without some manifestation of justice, I should in all probability, have voted against Gov ernor Johnson, for I did not hesitate to say that, in that event, I would. But it was not for the mere "reduction of freights, for my ben efit that satisfied me." If the Editor will not comprehend, I desire the country to understand it. It was the avowal of a principle of Adminis tration that applies to all, benefits all, for the good of the State, and the growth and prosper ity of Cherokee Georgia, the demonstration of which found an occasion in this case of mine,— It is not true, therefore, that I continued or yielded my support, on account merely of the reduction of my freights. I have secured the rule for future action, called for by the Legisla ture of 1851-’2, and aided on by Governor Cobb, and Mr. Wadley, and Mr. Yonge, now conceded by Governor Johnson, and demanded by all parties in Cherokee Georgia. No party will hereafter dare to violate it an this adminis tration has done. But it is not true, as charged, that Governor Johnson yielded acquiescence, in compliance to me or my influence. Not a word of this is true. No, he postponed this to my sorrow and serious injury, and I have satisfactory reasons for believing, that in doing what he did, at the time he did it, he was not controlled or forced by the influence of any one man, Judge Lump kin or any one else. Before his nomination, I know that a man of quite as much distinction as Judge Lumpkin, brought this matter before the Governor. Not only this individual be friended me, (and he is no candidate, and no seeker of office), but various others in the coun try, good true Democrats—all united to con vince the Goveuor that this act, too long delayed, should bo performed, even at the eleventh hour. It was not the influence of one man, or fear of one man, or two, or three or four either, that induced this act of justice to me. It was the voice not of the Democratic party only, but of all parties, that demanded it. Being convinced of that, the Governor did not delay justice any longer. If he had, he would have been unworthy of his party or coun try. It is not for me to say what part J udge Lumpkin had in the matter. But I know what I would have done in his place. I think I know what he, as the nominee of his party, should have done, and that was, to leave no stone un turned, to heal all the wounds inflicted by a de lay of justice, and bring out thc'full Democratic strength for himself and the Governor. This is what any party would require of its candidate. Why then blame the Governor for what he did? Why not blame him for delay of justice to me, by which I am robbed of over six thousand dollars, and the State enriched by it? I answer, simply because it will ill become the opposition to resent itjfer me, whilst! have fortitude to bear the injury. This is the only reason, and I know it. lam truly grateful to the masses for this kind feeling; and my gratitude would bo confirmed if they would require their editors and stump orators to decline their unjust.und injurious charges against me. But this editor will have it, that it is Tanta mount to “bribery” since the frieghts have been educed, the State is loser and I am gainer. Yes, the State has lost what it might have gained, and has absolutely pocketed six thousand dollars bo the same process in which it might have gained what it has lost—an act of robbery. And it has lost, by ceasing to exact the over charge, in tbe sumo sense m which the robber may lie said to lose, when, having it in his pow er to take nil you have, he kindly consents to take only half your money. And after being stripped unjustly, of six or eight thousand dol lars, I have gained the privilege of pocket ing all that the robber consented to leave with me. This editor says, that I deny that the six thou- 1 sand dollars has’been paid back to me. “in any ’ ‘ manner or form, to any intent or purpose." And s yet he says Ido not deny ‘that there was any ' urgreement to refund the money to me.” Well, waving the folly, stupidity or perverse- ' ness, that; after reading my letter, cannot per- 1 ceive the denial alledged not to be in it, 1 now •ay the whole is false* There never wus any agreement in any manner or form, to pay it hack in any manor Or form, directly or indirect ly, tn port or in whole. Will this satisfy ? This editor says there is discrimination in my favor, 1 say that the discriminations are against me, except on four articles, the rates on which were settled by Governor Cobb, Wadley and Yongo, in accordance with the directions of the Legislature iu 1851-2. He puts the case of Flour by the barrel, twen ty-five cents to Etowah thity cents to Carters ville. This is by the single barrel. Well, put that down and work it by the same rvle, and he will prove that the discriminations are in fa vor of Cartersville in nine eases out ten. For instance. Cartersville as he says has Wheat taken to Atlanta, forty-five miles, for eight cents, while lam required to pay nve cents t¥om Cartersville to Etowah. only two and a half miles. Again, as before shown, every thing that comes from Atlanta to the two places is taken to Cartersville as cheap as to+howah; even the passenger fare of the [xsiplc at my place is the same as to Cartersville. This was not the case under former Administrations. Do you call this favoritism. But to show how wickedly false and untrue this charge. I give only one more case, to-wit.: During this hue and cry, I have tom shipping Wheat from Chattanooga Calhoun, Adairsville, and Cass station to New York, by Atlanta. From Chattanooga to Atlanta, I have paid sixteen cents per bushel. The New York spec ulator and every oue else have paid only thir teen cents. The only difference is this : The car that brings my Wheat, without unloading or any disturbance of the frieght, is stopped long | enough at Etowah to change the Freight Bill, ! and send it on. I From Adairsville to Atlanta, I now pay on | Wheat nine cents, sixty-seven miles. From Chattanooga to Atlanta, one hundred and thir ty-four miles, every one pays only thirteen cents Where is the favoritism here ? It is in favor of through freights, against the local freights, and against me, and against the country. Against this I have contended for years, and Governor Johnson has declared himself opposed to this odious and oppressive discrimina tions and has set about to correct the evil.— And for this he and I are to be to denounced as corrupt! When the people’ who are interested in this matter shall understand it, they will turn on the accusers with sore displeasure. The editor still talks about "the bargain be tween Johnson and Cooper," to keep up his humbuggery. Let me ask his readers—where was the consideration? It was a voluntary de claration of the Governor, more than a year ago. I had not named it, I gave nothing, pro mised nothing. He was moved by a sense of justice, as he then declared. Wheer is the bar gain? But by it, the editor says, 1 now ship a barrel of Flour to Atlanta at twenty cents, and Car tersville pays thirty cents. I say this is not true; and the editor, with the freight list before him, might have known it.— I pay twenty-five cents by the barrel, and not twenty cents; and everything considered, this is scanty justice. By the car load, I pay twenty cents, .Cartersville twenty-five, cents. Andi pay five cents on Wheat two and a half miles, Cartersville pays seven cents for forty-five miles. He says that the "reduction" of freights was confined to Etowah. Well, they might be, be cause they only were materially raised there, and that after I was assured, and it was agreed that they should not be. To gratify himself with the'pleasure of charg ing me falsely, this editor grossly and misrepresents my letter again. He says that my letter reads thus : “1 now pay twentytfivc cents per barrel on Flour from Etowah to At lanta.” Well my letter does say that it is true.— But this very fair and truthful Editor says it is not true— because the records show that on the sth day of August, “Mark A. Cooper shipped flour from Etowah to Atlanta at 20 cents.” If this editor had stated also that the shipment on the 4th of August was by the car load— he would have told the whole truth: but he sup pressed it. If in quoting my letter, he had told his rea ders that I was there speaking of what “I pay” when I ship "a barrel," there would have been no suggestion of falsehood. But he did not— he did the reverse. Here then is a suppression of truth and a sug gestion of falsehood merely to afford a pretext to charge me falsely—what judgement awaits 1 him for such wilful wickedness ? I have now diposed of his editorial of the 25th. If he please to try again; he will find me ready and fully posted. Since writing this; lam shown the Editor’s Kof the 29th, in which he boasts of whut s done in the way of false charging, and dares any one to the denial with the refutation. If his readers can be favored with it, they may decide the matter for him. In the same paper, he publishes an article signed Kingston, and with a flourish, pretends that it contains great developments and new disclosures of startling import. Kinsgton states many facts, and some things that are not facts. So rar as his facts relate to me, he probably is indebted to me for them, since they have been published by me again and again for months past. There is therefore nothing new in it. I told all these material facts ut Cartersville Mass meeting, and in various other places, besides writing it out. What Kingston says, that is not true, I did not say. And if this editor wishes my testi mony of what are facts and what not, let him publish what I write and he shall have it. I nave again and again declared the whole truth, and and it does not suit him to give me the credit for it. I have not even failed to publish the meeting at Gordon, at which nothing was was done or "agreed” on as pretended, and in which this editor and some others of less note pretend to have found a nest so full of “Mare’s Eggs.” * I remain resiiectfully yours, MARK A. COOPER. (From the Federal Union, Mil inst.) Letter from ex-Gov. Cobb—The Office of Attorney for the State Road. The following letter from ex-Governor Cobb has been handed us for publication, by a gentle man in this city, to whom it was addressed. It is it complete answer to the charges made against Gov. Johnson, of having created an office to re ward a political friend: Athens, Aug. 27th, 1855. Dear Sir: Onmy return from Walton county I received your letter of the 20th instant, inquir ing into the causes of the original creation of the office on the State Rood held byR. J. Cow art. Esq., and I reply at the earliest moment. When I went into office, I found numerous claims aginst the Road, which had been accu mulating for several years. I.was satisfied that it was impracticable for the General Superinten dent to give his personal attention to these claims, as his time would be wholly occupied in the dis charge of his regular and ordinary duties. I therefore determined to appoint a commissioner to examine and report upon these claims, and accordingly appointed Col. Farris, and associat ed with him Mr. Whittle, a lawyer. The duties of tliat commission were faithfully performed, and both gentlemen earned every dollar that was paid to them. When Gov. Johnson came into office, I informed him of what I hod done, and also stated to him that claims were constantly arising against the Road—that the Legislature had thrown open the Courts of every County through which, the Road passed to claimants, and that similar claims were being prosecuted in the Courts of Tennessee—and that my experience and observation satisfid me that there should be some one appointed to attend to this class of buisness. Whether the person so appointed should be called Attorney to the Road or Com missioner, or any thing else, was immaterial. It was necessary and proper that there should be some one who should examine into these various j claims, and prepare the defence against such as onght to be resisted, and consult and advise with the Superintendent on this branch of business, entertained no doubt, either then or now, as to the power of the Executive to do this thing. So far.as that is concerned, there is no difference between the power I exercised and the power exercised by Gov. Johnson, and it was perfectly legitimate in both cases. Any other construction of the power and duty of the Executive in the premises, would deny him thejtower to employ a lawyer to defend a case in the Court—examine a claim —or render any other similar duty in con nection with the Road- As a question of constitu tional power, Lam unable to discriminate between the constitutional right of the Executive to em ploy a lawyer to defend one case and to defend all cases—to examine one claim and to examine all claims—and so*on in reference to all the du ties of this particular appointment. Entertaining no.doubt either of the power or policy of making such an appointment, I exer cised it when in office, and recommended mv succesor to do the same. It is not the creation of an office, but as the matter now stands, the employment of a lawyer to protect and defend the interest of the’State. I am. very respectfhlly, yours. Ac. Howell, Cobh. Democratic State Convention. Cincinnati, Aug. 30.—The Indiana Dem ocratic State Convention met at Indianapolis yesterday. Speeches were made by Gov. Wright, the Convention adjourned after adopt ing resolutions reaffirming' the principles of the National Conventions of 1848 and 1852. denouncing the conduct of the Missourians and Massachusetts men. in interfering in the lesral rights of Kansas settlers, and maintaining that Government should protect the rights of all | legal citizens, whether native or foreign born. ITne Convention was the largest ever assembled in the city. i [From the Oxford [Miss. Democrat Flag.] Letter front President Longstreet 1 ' —TO the Methodist Church, i; South. - Origin o/ Know Nothingism—lts prejudicial i ; bearing upon the wealth and strength of the I'; country. I In my address to the Preachers of the Meth- I thodist Church, 1 have shown that if all the I ■ foreigners who come to this country were both I Catholics and paupers, and that if they all voted • to a man under the dictation of the Pope, that ■ | still Know Nothingisnp is not the remedy for i these evils; and if it were, it is a remedy with which Methodist Preachers should have noth i ing to do. Thus far I have discussed the sub t ject under concessions which confined me within a circle so narrow, that its circumference al- ■ most touched its centre. lam now to present I; it in its proper light: from which it will appear, ' that no Christian, no patriot, should attack him- ■ self to the “American Party.” Hitherto I ■ have not called it by that namelist, liecause • that is not its baptismal name; and 2d, liecause ’ it designates no attribute that belongs to it.— But as conciliation is my object, and the Know Nothings are ever-sensitive at this moment. I will compromise matters, and call it by the one name or the other, as may, for the time lieiug, seemtoost appropriate to the occasion. And i here let me remark once for all, that 1 know there are many good men and true, attached to the American party; that, they joined it from good motives, and with the honest design of pro moting the interest of the country. To such I can only say, that whatever may be found in my remarks, that savors of bitterness; is not intend ed for them. But for the Order-its organization —its projectors, its mode of operation, and many of its votaries, I have no respect, nor do they deserve any. Os these I shall speak ac cording to my estimation of their deserts. It is their privilege to recriminate, and if the good and virtuous will stand aside from the conflict why very well; they will not be touched, save by implication, which at times it will be impos sible to avoid. But if they will thrust them selves into the contest, as some of them have already done, they must share the fate of their allies. I shall not withhold or avert a single shaft out of courtesy of kindness of them. Os all the parties ever conjured up in this land of party legerdemain, this is the only one, that ever exacted respect form its opponents, by reason of the wise and good that belonged to it —respect I mean, such as would be due to these men in the private circle. This is what the Know Nothings demand: and that too, when they are begriming men whose characters have stood above reproof, longer than they have stood upon the face of the earth. While they are exact ing so much, let them extend a little indulgence to one, who verily believes that they are sap ping the foundations of the Government—who. began to write when but one prediction of his concerning it, remained to be fulfilled; and who writes now when it is entirely and lamentably fulfilled—w - ho uttered his prediedion, when the party had not even a name—when he did not behave there was a member of it within five hundred miles of the State of Mississippi, and when the wisest of five hundred men who heard him, regarded it as little more than commence ment declamation. The origin of Know Nothingism seems to be a mystery to everybody. Even the most eru dite of the Order can shed no light upon it. I think I can trace it to its cause, if not to its author. Whether I be right or wrong, our re flections will lead us to one of the most beauti ful morals that ever was addressed to a self ruling people. It was not until the year 1846 that Massa chusetts abolitionism got completely beside it self. Up to this period, it had been held in check by the gravity, decency and self-respect of the more recently inoculated of its victims, and the yet remaining, but fasfdeeaying sound ness of public opinion in that State. But in this and the succeding year, it reached its grand climacteric, and loomed out in all its hideous deformity. It threw off all decency, all deco rum, all self-respect, all patriotism, all regard for public opinion, all principle. In January, 1847, there was a grand meeting of the anti-Sla very Society in Boston, headed by by a Presi dent, twenty-six Vice Presidents, (Caroline Weston, being one) two Secretaries, one Audi tor, and twelve Counsellors—three of them wo men, whose names, for the honor of the sex, and as being in rank to Vice President Caro line Weston, I will record: Maria Weston Chapman, Eliza Lee Fallen, and Anna Warren Weston. In this meeting, almost every county in Massachussetts, if not every one, was repre sented. To this august assembly, the Board of Mana gers represented a report, which opens with a complaint against the “slave power,” of course. It then proceeds to the Mexican war, in regard to which, it holds this language: “We fear that the vastly greater resources of the United States for tlie supply of men and money, will sooner or later extort from their weaker neigh bor their own terms of peace. This event must be deprecated by every lover of humanity, of justice, and of freedom. Every good and hu mane man must earnestly hope that success may attend upon that Power, which is striving to to remove from its soil, a piratical horde of banditti.” Adverting to the Wilmot proviso, the report procceeds: “Slavery must of necessity be tri umphant, Ac.—there is no remedy but revolu tion. A revolution beginning like all such, in the hearts and minds of men. but manifested in due time in the disruption of the Union, in the overthrow of our present deceptive constitu tion.” Speaking of the State, it says, “her real prosperity and true honor can only be secured by the blow that shall sever the the bond of the existing Union.” Much more of the same sort; in the course of which, General Taylor is called the slaveholdiny leader of ou t national banditti engaged in piratical incursion into Mexico; and and then the repori continues: "The anti-Sla very history of England, has been unusually full of various incidents during the past year. The formation of the anti-Slavery League, the Evan gelical Alliance, the visit of Mr. Garrison,” (to England,) “the extensive agitation of the slavery question by his means, assisted by Mr. Thomp son” (Englishman) “and the American abolition ists—have made the last year” (’46, remember) “one of extraordinary animat on and interest. We believe that we could never boast of a lar ger mid more devoted band of faithful friends in the Mother country than we now possess.— ;We have received elegant gifts from a multi tude of other places (London. Bristol. Ac.) and I are thus put in communication with new effi cient. This report proceeds. The conflict between the abolitionists of Scotland, and the Free Churclvin the matter of blood money, has been carried on with even more vigor during the past year, than ever before. , And again: "The Irish contributions to the Bazaar, like those we have just enumerated, were of increased amount in quantity, elegance and value. We accept this annual increase of .the tribute paid to the Image of God in Chains whose dungeon in this broad land, as a grateful evidence of an increasing and spreading sympa thy with universal! Humanity.” (“I hang on Massachusetts—l cannot give up Massachusetts said Crane of Virginia, in the Philadelphia Convention! What a Virginian!) Thus we hear it openly avowed in Boston, tliat_therc is an organized conspiracy between Great Britain and Ireland, and the' abolition ists of Massachusetts, to overthrow this gov ernment. And now for the moral. In 1845,1 cannot find any account taken of the number of paupers who came into Mas sachusetts from abroad in that year, whence I conclude that there were none ; or that the number was very small. Let Massachu setts speak for herself as to the following years : 1846. -The whole number of persons relieved as paupers was 15.261: of whom 7.022 were State paupers, and 7,850 town paupers. Os the State paupers. 4411 were foreigners: and • these 3,834 were from England and Ireland— -722 foreign paupers have come to the State this year." 1847. "The whole number of persons relieved. Ac.. Ac.. 18,717, 7.920 town paupers; 9.005 I State. Ot the last. 7.035 were foreigners, and . of this number 6.383 were natives of England I and Ireland. 2501 foreigners paupers have come into the State this year.” 1849. -The number relieved, He., He., 18,693; 11 town 7,166. State 9.431. Os State, 7,413 were foreigners, of whom 6.707 were natives of Eng land and Ireland. 1,494 foreign paupers come I ‘ into the State this year.” 1849. -The number &c., 24.892 ; town, 8,- : 381 : Ltale. 14,083. Os the lust, 19.243 for j eigners: of whom 9,128 wen- natives of Eng ; land and Ireland. 3.043 foreign paupers come , into the State this year.” ( 1850. -The number ic„ 25.981; town, 7,- 900. State. 16,958. Os last. 12,334 weij- for .! eigners; and of this number, 10.816 were nu i' fives of England and Ireland. 1,891 foreign paujx-rs come into the State this year.” . i 1851. “The number. &c., 27,654; town 8,- 093, State, 16,154. Os last. 12,940 were for- . | eigners. and of these 11,905 were natives of England and Ireland. 2,000 foreign paupers j come into the State this year." ■ 1852. -The number, 27,737 ; town 8,- ■ 235 ; State. 14,388. <>f these, 11,321 were for , | eigners. 9,788 natives of England and Ireland . I 1.500 paupers come into the State this year." I 1853. “Number, &c., 26,414: town, 8.008; ; State. 14,831. Os these. 11.874 were foreign- I ers, of whom 10,014 were natives of England and Ireland, 1,134 foreign paupers come into ! the State this year." And this brings us to the i nataldayof Know Nothingism. Earlyinlßs4, i perhaps'at the close of 1853, it was born deaf I and dumb in Massachusetts. Why, we wjll see I presently. According to Chickering, in 1840, I the foreign population in Massachusetts was but 4.72 per cent, of the whole population of the State. In 1850, it was 20.20 of the whole I population—more than a fifth. In 1830, it was i but 1.57 of the whole population. Now. what i could have poured such a flood of emigrants in- I to Massachusetts, (the most sterile and thickly settled State in the Union,) between the years 1840 and 1850 ? Why such a vast dispropor tion from England and Ireland ? Did they come to sustain her in her efforts to overthrow the government ? Or did they come from the impression that all her feelings and sympathies were in unison with their own? No matter which, never was there a more just retribution for fanatical madness than this. The burden is not half told. Her criminals, her deaf and dumb, her insane are in like proportion, and saddled upon her at an expense which is abso lutely astounding. Foreigners are a growing fungus upon her, that must waste her away, if it cannot be removed. But how is it to be re moved? Shall she use up the contributions of her confederates, and then cut their acquaintance and drive them off? That would be disgrace ful even to her. She has borne up under the growing evil long and heroically; shall she bear it forever ? That is impossible. Well may she abhor foreigners. Now Know Nothingism is the very remedy for her. Form a secret society against them—swear the that they will not disclose their names or deeds, and stab them in the dark. Bind Catholics to them, for popularity’s sake, and put Temperance over them with like intent, and to sanctify the sacri fice, send out emissaries every where, some to preach in the street against Catholics, and others to work like the devil in Eden, upon the inno cent and unsuspecting. Whisper this to the hater of Catholics and slavery; that, to the dreader of foreigners; and the other, to the lover of Temperance. Put on any face, promise any thing, hold any language, to gather recruits; and when you have got them, swear them in by oaths so strong, that they cannot get out or go counter to the will of Massachusetts and her ab olition kith and kin at the North. Thus get strength, kill off Democrats, take the reins of government, drive off allies southern and foreign, kill off Catholics, and crush the "slave power, by'turning loose the slave upon his master.”— Here I take it, is the spawning, the poisoning, and the satanic aiming of Know Nothingism as it came from its mother. Had it adhered to its original darkness and muteness, it, would have accomplished its ends to the full, and the South would have been made necessary to her own un doing. Never was abolitionism so silent, tru culent and seemingly national, as it has been since the birth of Know Nothingism. It would profess anything, it would swear anything, until the touch-stone of slavery was appied to it, and then it showed its cloven foot, fled back to its den, and set up its natural howl louder than ev er. How such men as Robert Breckenridge could ever have dreamed, that Massachusetts and Virginia, abolitionists and slaveholders, ceuld be united into a national party, is to 'me the great mystery of these mysterious times— Could oaths do it? Why every officer in Mas sachusetts swears to support the Constitution of the United States, and violates his oath without scruple or remorse. Every Senator and Repre sentative of hers in Congress does the same.— Oh, it was the master scheme of abolition in iquity. to unite oath-defying and oath-respecting men, of different latitudes, in bonds indissoluble save at the will of the first Heavens and earth, upon what a precipice has the South stood for a twelve month past! Look how perfectly eve rything tallies with these revelations. Wherever Know Nothingism has triumphed, the champi ed, the champions of the Constitution have fall en, and abolitionism has gloated over them.— Wherever it has usurped authority, it has nulli fied the Constitution and laws of the Union, hustled off poor women and children of foreign birth, grabbled in the sacred edifices of Catho lics, and mode hostility to the South a condition for office. Hear me patiently, honest sons of the American party, aad you will soon excuse me for “meddling with politics” this once. Bear with me a little while, ye patrons of the Uni versity. and you will applaud the “old dotard,” for flinging himself between your children and the American party. One word more before I leave this head, and then I have done with it. It is the darkness of night whieh brings out the lustre of the stars. So it is the darkness of the State that brings gloriously to view the truly nobilty of her sons. 1 If Massachusetts has sunk herself to the foot of ■ the sisterhood of States, those sons of hers who I haxe stood by the Constitution and laws of the ' land, through long, long years of fanatic blister- ■ ing, have placed themselves high above all the 1 republicans of the Union. They have been ’ tried by fire, and found pure. Immortal honor ■ be their reward! We now turn out attention to the policy of the war against foreigners. It is not true that every immigrant is a pau ; per. It is not true, as I have supposed, that a . tenth, or even a twentieth of them are paupers. . But let us suppose that the pauper immigrants [ are to the thrifty, as Ito 19. Then as we have . seen, if the nineteen brought into the country with them nothing but their industry, it would be bad policy to exclude them. But they bring > more. They bring talents in every department i of science; many of them, heavy mercantile ■ capital; many the means of establishing them selves in their several pursuits; and almost all , of them bring some money in their pockets.— Every dollar they bring with them, is just . so much wealth added to the country without (' labor. A thousand recently arrived in New i York who brought with them over §34,000. I To be upon an undisputed ground, we will sup . pose that each sound foreigner brings with him i but the half of that sum §17,000. I put down s the whole number of foreigners who have come L to this country from 1787 to this date (August 1855) at but §3,000.000. From this number deduct the paupers. 157,894, and we have of j sound 2.842.106. who have added to the actual -: capital of the country §48,315.802, or §7lO - j 526 per annum upon an average. Now the | average expense of a pauper for a period of 8 f i years in Massachusetts, is not quite a dollar a . I week. But compute it at a dollar. The num ? i ber of paupers who have come into the country 1 is on an average 2.322 (round numbers. Their - expense per annum is 120,744. This amount r subtracted from the sum brought into the country by the sound, leaves §589,782 per an , num clear gain to the country by immigration. In the year ending 30th September, 1848. there came to the United States from abroed by one , ship alone. 229.492. Os these. 2.968 were na tives. leaving of foreigners 226524. The males were to the females, in round numbers as 136 c i to 93 —the chrildren under 15 years of age 52,- 1 213. Deducting these the whole ? number, leavee 174.311. From this take the 13 paupers 9.174. and we have 165,137,capab1e of * labor. I suppose their labor to be worth ten cents per day.over their support: aad we have e §16,513 per pay, or §5,168,569 per annum ex cluding Subbaths. Three millions of foregners u6B years, given an average of 44,117 per %nnum. » Now if all the foreigners who came to the ! country in 1818. (229,492) give 85,168,560 nett per annum, whut will 44 117 give per annum? Ans. §993, §67,564,324 in sixty-eight ' years. To the annual profits of labor (§993,- i 593) udd the cash annually brought in §710,- ! 515 and we have §l, 704.110 nett profits of im migration per annum, or 8115,880,092 in sixty i eight years, counting no interest or accumula ! turns. Nearly ull this wealth and industry goes i North to be sure und we gain by it only in the way of trade—in its enhancing the demand for ■ our productions, and eheapening the articles whieh we get in exchange for them. Now what are we to think of the heads of u people, who I would fling away this vast, tin 1 not half told ; treasure, to get rid of the pauperism that accom panies it? Nearly the whole of the pauperism fails on the North—the only burden which she has not managed to fling upon our shoulders. And we, good easy souls, who have helped to burden ourselves withmost of the expenses of the government for nearly forty years, are now mov ing heaven and earth to relieve her of this petty charge! With little the South does bear of it falls almost exclusively upon Catholic Orleans; and upon the inhabitants of this city. Know Nothing opposition is expending its greatest force. How long will our people be duped, de graded, and impoverished, by A*ankee sophistry, daring, duplicity and cunning! Look what an arm of strength we are lopping off when we cut off foreigners. Their children arej natives, and as true to the country as any in the land. Who more gallant in war, or orderly in peace, when let alone? when the pandemonian tribe from whom I have quoted above, were plotting trea son, wishing success to Mexico, and denouncing your chivalrous sons a« a piratical horde of ban ditti, where was Sheilds, and hundreds of his countryman, and their companions in arms from olmost every land under the sun? What had he done to be pushed aside with the blood scarce ly staunched that gushed from his breast under your country’s flag, to make way for a self-cursed abolitionist? “But they will swell thejmajority against us at the North.” What stuff! The homely proverb of the stable-door and stolen horse, over again. Your only hope of saving yourselves from the majority against you at the North is by concil iating the foreigners there; and now - is your time_ to strike'for a treaty with them, instead of stri’ king at their vitals." Never did I see such a gio rious prospect for a complete overthrow of abo litionism as there is at this time. Drop your Know Nothingism, and we have all the south, all the foreigners, all the Catholics and Demo crats against them. Fire-eaters, do not go for dissolving the Union at this time, I pray you.— Do not go for it, whatever the next Congress may do. Pull down all your platforms, unite on the single plank'of anti-abolitionism; make no speeches in Congress, give the majority rope, and then let them return to their constituents.— They will astonish high heaven with their leg islation. Be it so. They cannot hurt you as yet, and if they stop the wheels of the Govern ment, all the better for us. Any thing before abolition rule. That will teach the North wis dom. No matter what laws they pass, my life on it, they will all be repealed by the next Con gress, and they will not have a chance of pass ing laws again for ten years to come, if ever.— It is a time for a sober preparation on our part ■ but not for action.

It is surprising how great an influence this people exert by the strength and, especially, the singular acuteness of intellect which they possess. Although, in a national sense, homeless, although bunted through ages of wanderings by theslot hounds ofbigotry, avarice, and prejudice, weffied them at this day exercising vast control over the destinies of na tions. That this is so, is only proof that ths intel lectual powers of the dwellers in Judea were equal to these of any people in any .era of hiato- ry, and that Moses and Solomon, and Isaiah and Paul, were the representatives of a nation of unsurpassed intllectual culture. At present scarcely a country in the civilized world is not proud to count on Israelite amongst spirits. Two of the race, and we believe of the faith, sit in our own lofty Senate. The most brilliant orator in the English House of Commons is not ashamed of the same descent, while the most brilliant diplomatist of Europe, the veteran Nes selroode owns to his parentage that unequalled skill both in thought and expression, which has enabled him to vanquish so may able oppo nents. There must be a future for a people boasting such intellects as these.-- Sat- Courier. A new play, written by Miss Vandenhoff, is about to t>e products! in this country by Mr. Geo. V undenhoff.
