- W- apoa this ptHinte branch of knowledge and At almost entire aboenoe of those aux- Qiarj advantage* eo eratntial to render ths study something else than a dry and unin teresting suooesrion of mere dates and •rente, which necessarily take no Arm hold upon the mind, and are consequently effaced with even more rapidity than they are ac quired. The student of Geography has his globes and endless variety of maps to as sist his mind in requiring and retaining knowledge. The student of Astronomy has also his maps, orreries, diagrams, do., for a similar purpose. The same is true of many other branches. But in History there has, until recently, been an entire want of such aids. We'are pleased to see, however, that Miss E. P. Peabody, of Perth Amboy, a la dy of great learningand accomplishments and in every respect eminently qualified for the task, has turned her attention to this subject, aud has succeeded in maturing and perfecting a system admirably calculated to place the study of History on an equalfooting, in this re gard, with other departments of education. We had the pleasure, a few months sinoe, of examining Miss Peabody’s Historical Charts at one of the most successful and flourishing Educational Institutions in New York, (where her system had then just been introduced,) and were so well pleased with the efficacy of the method, as well as the great improvement involved in it, that we can heartily endorse everything said on the subject in the subjoined paragraph, which we copy from the Philadelphia Evening Pott. We would take occasion, also, to recommend the system to the attention of the various teachers and in stitutions of learning in Georgia: “The gist of the plan is this:—The events which mark the outlines of each nation’s history, are represented each by a color, ap propriated to the particular nation, in tne representations of each year in which they happened, and those years are so arranged, that, after five minutes’ explanation, and a quarter of an hour’s exercise, any year of the 2500, immediately preceding the Chris tian Era, or of the 18o0 succeeding it, can he appreciated by the eye at a glance. For the years and centuries are not drawn out in a long line, whioh it is impossible for the eye to divide, but the years ot every century are represented in a block, ton rows of ten years in each; and then twenty-five centu ries of the time preceding Christ are made into a blook, (five rows of five centuries.)* A sheet of description is not worth two minutes’ sight of this chart to demonstrate its cleverness. It is a perfect map of time, where the student oan never lose the place. It is a greater help for history than the out line map is for geography, and it will make history as universally taught, because as easily learnt, as geography has been made by the use of the school atlas. The latter has only been in use about forty years, and the effect of it has been to make the children of the whole country better acquainted with the surfaco of the earth, than were the most cultivated scholars fifty years ago. Miss Peabody says it is incalculable how much the habit of poring over the map has helped to excite ana to keep alive that unbiqnitous propensity of the American people, which nos spread the whole earth over with Amenonn adventure ; and she anticipates, from a similar familiarity with the map of Time, in the next forty years, os compre hensive views of what pertains to man’s welfare and developement, fitting young Americans for their great position and duty, as elements of a power on earth, unfolding the powers of humanity to higher ends than the mere acquisition of material power.— The difficulty of acquiring and remembering the details of history, so that general views may be taken of the composition and charac ter of the various great national powers which have worked out important problems, political and educational, on the old conti nent, seems to be annihilated by this simple contrivance. For the student learns these charts by reproducing them in blanks, pre pared for tlie purpose, as he studies the event of each history, a skeleton of which • is given in the manual. Thia is an amusing way of inetgprising, and presents a vivid picture to the eye. Taking up one nation after another, and going over its whole course, synchronisms are learned without effort, and the chronological relations of events of different countries suggest other relations, and gradually all the several lines of events are woven together by the mind— without the individuality of the nation being lost—and the visual memory fastens it all. When the thing is done once, it is done forever. Subsequent reading does not dis turb, though it enriches the picture (hang ing as it were in the memory) with a thou sand associations. Itself a thing which can be learned by a child ten years old, it be- comes the basis of an historical education, which can be carried up to any height of developement. This makes it admirable os a thing of universal UBe in schools. Those who learn, the least—that is, what is upon the charts and the accompanying manual— make an invaluable attainment; and those who learn the most, by accompanying their study, or following it up with the most com plete historical reading, do not outgrow the advantage of having this outline before their eyes. All events of history, of course, are not represented any more than is every village on the geographical map; but when any date ocours in reading, it is easy for the mind to locate it in the year or century on the map, and then to see how it stands in relation to the history of all nations, and to do this throws unexpected light and sig nificance into events. The difficulty of re membering chronology is the difficulty of remembering intervals; now intervals are as clearly marked as events upon this chart, and herein consists one of its superiorities to the charts composed on Priestly’s prin ciple/ In Luck.—We were not a little surprised' yesterday, upon entering our sanctum, to find upon our table—what do you think kind reader—what kind of on article would be most acceptable to the stomachs of the hungry millions in these “tight times”!— why, evidently, a ham—large, sweet, beau tifully trimmed and nicely cured,—in short, just such an one as we found composedly lying on our sanctum table, for which we are indebted to the politeness of our gentle manly friends on Mitchell street, Messrs. Seago & Abbott. For the benefit of the “hungry millions,” as aforesaid, we would state that we are credibly informed there are a few thousand pounds more of the same sort where this came from, whioh can be bad, if not quite as cheap as we got ours, at least as cheap as anybody not blessed with the peculiar privileges appertaining to the editorial craft, could reasonably expect, especially in these days when the seven lean kine are in the ascendant. Infirmary.—By an advertisement in another column it will be observed that Dm W. F. & J. G. Westmoreland have opened an Infirmary in Atlanta. This is an insti tution which has been much needed in our city and under the management of the gen tlemen who have undertaken the enterprise, it will, of course, he properly and efficiently conducted. While the medical department will he in able hands, Dr. W. F. Westmore land is well qualified to take charge of the surgical department, having in addition to bis former studies, eqjoyed the best advant ages the oily of Buis could affined during a residence of several years in that city in perfecting himself in that science. M«w Toss, April 17,18*5. la my latter of but wadi I alluded to the mag- ihriirftb inter—te inroltpd in the liquor traffic •■•■rity, Ml MW propem to olar'a few atetis- ties bearing span the snbjoet, from which yon will sea the tmmm for tee intense excitement which the new ProUMtory Law bac created here. From the best sources of Information at my command I find there are 7,108 groggeriee In operation in this city. The avenge vidue of each bar-room may be pissed at $1,300, making an aggregate of proper ty which the law will render nearly valueless of $8,537,300. The number of persona diraetly em ployed a* proprietors, waiters, book-keepers, Ac., is from 17,000 to 30,000, and indirectly as manu- fhetnrerr of decanters and glasses, corks and stop- pars, the numerous other smell traders depending on the bnstneee probably amount to 10,000, mak ing in all nearly 30,000 man, of whom say one- half have families to support, which will swell the number to 50,000 who will be deprived of their present employment by the enforcement of this law. Seven thousand tenements, heretofore used ae bar-rooms, will baoome valueless for that pur pose after the 4tk of July. To speak particularly of our hotels, the profit upon the sale of Uquonrs at the four principal ones for the last year,—-vis: the St. Nicholas, Metro politan, Astor and New York,—is estimated to me, by one who has the means of knowing, at $170,- 000, or about $45,000. Messrs. Leland of the Metropolitan, and Messrs. Acker A Treadwell of the St. Nicholas, have said, to abolish these sales will destroy the profits of their establishments and compel them to raise the price of board very much above the present rate to avoid immediate ruin. Thus, yon see how deeply the new law strikes at the pockets of a large class who are making extra ordinary preparations to provent its enforcement. Meetings are held every night at the Westchester House by the Liquor Dealers Association, and although the initiatory fee is $10 and the yearly dues $4, applicants are pooling in a rate which will give them four thousand members. It is an avowedly political association, the mem bers pledging themselves to give no support to any candidate tinctured with Maine Lawism. After the passage of the law all the efforts of its oppo nents in this eity were directed to the putting through of a police bill which would take from Mayor Wood the eontrol of the Police, and ren der him powerless in his avowed intention to en force the law, but the Legislature adjourned with out passing it and they are now driven to the <les peratoend of fighting its constitutionality. Depend d$on it, this is the battle ground where the hottest contest will be waged. Execute the law here for one year and it can be enforced in any and every place in this country. All the resources that wit and intellect, sharpened by passion and avarice, can make available will be brought into reqnisi tion, and daring the coming Summer we shall re eordone of the most signal triumphs the Temper ance cause has yet achieved, or mourn over one of its humiliating defeats. The lists are set, the combatants await the signal with lances in rest, a fair field, no favor and God protect the right. Since they havo sprung the Sunday Liquor Law upon the groggeries in the neighboring city of Williamsburg, I learn the receipts of the Ferry to that heretofore pleasant lager beer resort have fal len off about $200 each Sunday. We shall be driven to Croton for a certainty. Our city has beon for years the'receptacle of the paupers and criminals of Europe, who, when they did not go into voluntary emigration fast enough to suit the exigency of their respective states, have been exported by ship loads and thrown upon us forming either the most dangerous or the most indigent aud helpless portion of our population, To such a perfection has the practice of sloughing upon us the worthless population of trans-Atlantic States grown that we hear of governments actual ly providing those forced exiles with forged certif icates of character and furnishing each with an amount of money which will exempt him from the charge of actual pauperism when be sets his foot upon our soil. This monstrous infraction of international comity has beon encouraged by the apathy of our city authorities who have al lowed all such to come among us unquestioned. Mayor Wood has now decided to stop it and has addressed circulars to each of our consuls request ing them to furnish him with the facts in the case of each emigrant exported by the governments to which tho7 are accredited, and he will hereafter positively prohibit their landing in our city, good move. The new street sweoping machines are proving our salvations from a dirt burial, which, at the rate of its accretion for the last two years, would inhume us as snugly as old lava whelmed Pompci. Four words are now swept by them, and during the first two weeks of April 10,000 loads of dirt were removed from theso streets, rendering the jm ce ment visible in many places. The machine works finely thus far. The various religious and other societies arc bu sily preparing for Anniversary week—the first week in May. The old school abolitionists bavc offered an extensive programme. Many changes are occurring in our hotels. The Irving House is now closod and will be opened soon on the European plan, i.«., with furnished rooms to be let by the day or week, the guests in stead of taking meals in common orderiug what ever he wishes at any time of day in the reflectory which is always connected with such an establish ment. This plan has many advantages, especial ly for a business man and is increasing favor. The Brandreth Hoase, newly opened at the corner of Broadway and Canal Sts., under the supervision of tho O’Gradys, late of Judson’s Hotel, which was destroyed by fire last season, is upon tho same plan and is mentioned as an excellent house. The delightful residence on 5 Avenue, known as Murray Hill house, was sold within a few days for $100,000 We notice that Prof. James Henry, so well known for his scientific acquirements and staunch devotion to the cause of education, died recently at Bloomingdalc. The amount expended by the city for education al purposes the past year was $777,000. The average attendance at the public schools 51,567, making more than $18 to each child instructed. The publishers business is dull this Spring. The auction sales of Bangs A Co. are now going for ward with many rare works on the catalogue.— Messrs. Bunce A Bro. have given us Mrs. Goces new work entitled “ Mammon, or the Hardships •f an Heiress,” which is fully equal in interest to her previous efforts. Mayor Wood this morning published an address to the people of N. Y., in which, after insisting upon the duty of a public official to execute a law so long as it remains upon the Statute Book, he declares he wili use his utmost ability to enforce the Prohibitory Liquor Law, and calls upon all good citizens to aid him. It would be very much like him to do it too. Hon. Erastus Brooks seems inclined to “ go in ” for the Public Library prom ised him by Archbishop Hughes in the event of Brooks proving him possessed of the real estate he alles which he alleged he owned in his speech in the Senate. Erastus in a card this morning declares himself ready with the documents, and says he is anxious to come before arbiters and make good his assertion. If the ecclesiastic comes up to the scratch we may expect some rieh scenes. Another Richmond is in the Presidential field in the person of Commodore Vanderbilt. Several members of the New Jersey Legislature having requested his permission to “connect his name with the Presidency," he oomes out with an elab orate and rather able reply, going dead against our present Naturalisation Laws, in fisvor of Young America generally and of course accepting the nomination which Ids dear friends would thrust upon him. We shall have a fine scrub race and the Commodore has made a nice “thug" for the inside track. A new daily paper, born out of the ashes of the National Democrat and christened the N. Y. News, began breathing yesterday. It hoists the political flag of'the old liqe Democrats, and promises to hack and gongo Whiggery, Free Soilism, the new Maine Law and all such to the utmost ability of Q. M. Tucker, Editor. So we go. Yesterday was the finest day of the season, fol lowed by a soft Summer twilight and a night stuck frill of stars and all that sort of things. Business has improved within the last week but ■till continues doll. *,* IQ. Latour Maabourg lost his lag at the battle of Leipsie.

J. Hesler, the gentlemanly proprietor of the Atlanta Hotel, we attended the Soiree, on Thursday evening last. In all frankness, we most pronounce it one of the moat agreeable entertainments we have witnessed for years.' The parlors were filled with the more sedate and less active guests, deeply absorbed in the mysteries of whist, or engaged in intellectual “chat.” Whilst in the Hall, the gay and juvenile were responding to the enlivening notes of music, with a grace and elegance that evinced them familiar with the “Poetry of Motion,” and no novices at the Shrine of Terpsechore. The arrangement of the supper was evi dence that the Presiding Goddess of the establishment had passed with her wand, and imparted to each tempting dish a taste and flavor, which received a practical com pliment from every guest, far more flattering than our powers of fancy give. In the midst of the strains of music, the smiles of the fair, and the tasting of good things, we forgot hard times, hot weather, bank notes and bad crops, bat felt real ‘gloriful.’ ‘ And right here we intend to express a unanimous sentiment, by tendering Mr. Hesler the heartfelt thanks of every guest, for one evening’s pleasure. The whole affair was brim fall of pleasantry, and good feelr ings, and psculiarty refreshing to the eye of one approximating the sear and yellow leaf. We hope the author of so much pleasure may realize what he so richly deserves, the good wishes of every recipient of his kind ness. In fact, it was but a glance at the interior of the “Atlanta Hotel,” to realize all that is meant by “old things passing away, and all things becoming new.” True, the brush of the Painter has obliterated many a familiar ‘spot,’ but then, bright walls, clean floors, and countless other improvements, will com pensate their loss. Not a vestige of that old eye sore (liquor bar) is left—in its stead, is a neat and handsome office, with an intelligent and courteous clerk in con stant attendance, proud to respond to every call. Under Mr. HESSLER’smanagement, order and neatness, energy and courtesy, are ob vious in every department. Dr. Thompson, the facetious and popular proprietor for many years, has made a fortune under the old regime, and now, with a liberal hand, invests his capital in improving, and plac ing his old idol. “Atlanta Hotel,” on a par with the first class hotels of the State. Al though he has yielded its entire manage ment to Mr. Hessler, yet his good humor and pointed wit is tendered gratis to his old friends with that profusion that rendered his house so attractive in the days of “ Auld Lang Syne.” Long life to the Doctor and success to the new proprietor is the wish of I, who attended the SOIREE. mm TlM ltnfira Press mm Mmmttimmm AflGatrs.

In Asia the same England plundered a few score of native potentates, and took their dominions. To mention small grabs, such as Malta, Gibraltar, Jamaica, would hardly repay the trouble. Suffice it to say, that from first to last, the glorious Anglo Saxon race has always been a race of plunderers, and so far from obeying the ninth com mandment, have never been able to see any one in possession of anything that was de sirable without coveting it and taking it on the spot, if, as the members of the Ostend Conference said, they were strong enough to do so.

Georgia Democracy—Fifth District- MASS-MEETING IN HABERSHAM. A large and respectable portion of the Democrats of Habersham county met in the Court House in Clarkesville on Wednesday, 11th inst. On motion Mr. Jarvis Van Bu- ren was called to the Chair, and Phillip Martin, Esq. requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to appoint delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention in Milledgeville, and for the dispatch of such other business as might come before them. Dr. George D. Phillips then arose, and after a few prefatory remarks, introduced tho following preamble and resolutions: Whereas the time has arrived when the Democratic party of Habersham county deem it important to take steps to effect a through organization of the party, and a meeting of the people having been called for that purpose: Resolved, That we cherish an abiding confidence in the principles of the National Democratic party, fought for by Washing- 7 J« ton, taught by Jefferson, and successfully carried out by Jackson, and that we are taught by the experience of the past to look to the party as the only national organiza. tion through which the rights and interest of the South will be maintained and protect ed; and that we can have no sympathy or co-operation with any political party, or or ganization which sacrifice such men as Dodge, of Iowa, Shields, of Illinois, and supply their seats in the councils of the Union, with men pledged to carry out the most odious abolition doctrines, by the re peal of the fugitive slave law, and the re jection of new States recognizing slavery in their Constitutions. 2. Resolved, That, entertaining these views; we will adhere to the Democratic party, maintain its principles and pledge ourselves to the use of alljhouorablemeans to secure the election of its candidates. 3. Resolved, That in reference to our state policy, looking to the benefits result ing to our state by the construction of the W. & Atlantic R. Road; We commend the wisdom of its conception, the energy that secured its construction and its present able and efficient management, and without in tending to commit ourselves to any general system of state aid to all R. Roads that may be protected, we believe that the North Eastern, South Western, and South Eastern S ortions of the State are justly entitled to beral aid in the construction of these great works of internal improvement. 4. Resolved, That we atmrove of the ad ministration of Governor Johnson, and re commend his renomination at the approach ing Democratic convention. And tnat Geo. D. Phillips, Robert McMillan, A. K. Patton, Young Davis, and Joseph B. Whitehead, be and are hereby appointed delegates to the Gubernatorial convention, and in the event of their not being able to attend, they have the power of appointing their own alter nates. 5. Resolved, That looking to the magni tude of the questions that are likely to be raised in the next Congress we have seen with much pride and pleasure, the manifes tation of a general desire among Democrats to return to his seat, our able and distin guished representative, Hon. Howell Cobb, who for many years, represented our Dis trict with honor to himself and his consti tuency, and we hereby declare he is our first choice for that position, and believe a dis trict Convention, to nominate a candidate wholly unnecessary; but if one is held we appoint G. D. Phillips and Phillip Martin to said Convention. 6. Resolved, That in parting with our late able and faithful representative, Judge Hillyer, who declines a re-election, we take this occasion to express our high apprecia tion of his public services, and the fidelity, with winch he has discharged his pubuc duties. 7. Resolved, That the foregoing resolu tions be signed by the Chairman and Secre tary and be published in the Southern Ban ner at Athens. Thoughts from Chmnnlug. When I place side by side the mighty works of Jesus and the prodigies of heath enism, I see that they can no more be com pared with one another than the machinery and mock thunder of the theatre can be lik ened to the awful and beneficial powers of the universe. The Roman church is illustrated by great names. Her gloomy convents have often been brightened by fervent love to God and man. Her St. Louis, and Fenelon, and Massillon, and Cheveros; her missionaries, who have carried Christianity to the ends of the earth; her Sisters of Charity, who have carried relief and solace to the most hope less want and pain ; do not these teach us that in the Romish church the Spirit of God has found a home ? How much, too, have other churches to beast! In the Eng lish church we meet the names of Latimer, Hooker, Bairow, Lexington, Berkely, and Heber; in the dissenting Calvanistic church, Baxter, Howe, Watts, Dodridge, and Rob ert Hall; among the Quakers, George- Fox, Wm. Penn, Robert Barclay, and our own Anthony Benezet, and John Woolman; in the Anti-Trinitarian church, John Wilton, John Locke, S. Clarke, Price, and Priestly. To repeat these names does the heart good. They breathe a fragrance through the com mon air. They lift up the whole race to which they belong. With the churches of which they were pillars of chief ornaments, I have many sympathies; nor do I condemn the union of ourselves to these or any other churches whose doctrines we approve, pro vided that we do it without severing our selves in the least from the universal Church. On this point we cannot be too earnest. We must shun the spirit of sec tarianism as from hell. We must shudder at the thought of shutting up God in any denomination. We must think no man the better for belonging to our communion; no man the worse for belonging to another.— We must look with undiminished joy on goodness, though it shine forth from the most adverse sect. Christ’s Spirit must be equally dear and honored, no matter where manifested. To confine God’s love or his good spirit to any party, sect, or name, is to sin against the fundamental law of the kingdom of God, to break that living bond with Christ’s universal Church which is one of onr chief helps to perfection. Russia having gained all the genuine, prac tical advantages thus far in the war, there is no reason to suppose she will concede an inch from her former positions. As both sides have, within the last few months, been very largely reinforced, we may reasonably look for the great battle of the campaign very shortly. There will be stirring times in the Crimea before another month elapses. A Good Speech.—We make no apology for the large amount of space devoted this morning to the extract from the speech of Robert Tyler, of Pennsylvania, which we publish to the exclusion of our usual varie ty of editorial and selected matter. In these days when the proscriptive and anti-repub lican dogmas of Know-Nothingism are at tempted to be forced upon the country, too much correct information, respecting the character and tendencies of the movement, cannot be laid before the people, and we are certain that no one whose eyes are not blinded by prejudice and bigotry, can arise from a perusal of Mr. Tyler’s remarks upon the subject, without being benefitted by the broad comprehenseve and statesman like manner in which he handles this inter resting matter. Hat Store.—The attention of readers is invited to the advertisement of Mr. J. Tay lor who has recently opened a new and ex tensive Hat and Cap Store on Whitehall street. He has a fine and varied assortment. Give him a call. ONE WEEK. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE 16L,The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun speaks of rumors of a definite and pos itive character in Washington, relative to the supposition that England and France have combined for the protection of Cuba. It in said that the French Minister has noti fied our Government, that in case of inter ference on the part of the United States, for the purpose of disturbing the condition of things on the ever faithful island, the gov ernment of France will take the part of Spain, and this statement is substantiated by the hints thrown out by Messrs. Cass and Mason, near the close of the last ses“ sion of Congress, and by the fact that the acts of tho Administration shows that it en tertains no doubt of the existence of the combination mentioned.

The Liverpool Cotton Market.—During the week ending the 6th inst. prices were a trifle higher. Middling qualities having advanced l-16d. and Fair £d. per lb. There was also an active speculative demand, and the sales during the week comprised 80,000 bales*of which speculators took 19,000 and exporters 10,500, leaving 49,500 of all de scriptions to the trade. The market closed firm, with an upward tendency at 5fd for Fair Orleans, 5Jd. for Middung Orleans, 6|d. for fair Upland and 5-15d. for Middling Uplands. The Liverpool Breadstuff’s Market was generally unchanged, but firm. The Cir cular of Messrs. Brown & Shippley quotes old Western Canal Flour at 42s., new at 38 and Ohio at 45s., per barrel of 1096 lbs.— White and Yellow Corn were worth 43s. and mixed 42s., 6d. per 480 lbs. White Wheat commanded 12s. 6d. and Red 11s 6d. per 70 lbs. The Liverpool Provision Market was gen erally unchanged. Prices, however, were staffer, although not quotably higher, Lard had advanced Is. per cwt. Sta te of trade.—The advices from Man chester are more favorable. The London Money Market was easier. The Bank of England had reduced the rate of interest to 41 per cent, per annum. Con sols for money closed at 92$. U. S. Stock had advanced. General Intelligence. There is nothing of any importance from the seat of war. The political position of affairs remains unaltered, although, if any thing, the im pression of the public mind in England leans to the opinion the war must continue. The Russian ultimatum not having arriv ed, the Vienna Conference had adjourned to the 9th inst.

Dtascrser ui Ka*w-I«thla|lsai. Extract of a Speech of Bober* Tyler, tf Pennsylvania, before a Democratic Asso ciation in Philadelphia. I know that many attempt to account for the preeent condition of db to what they pronounoe ws of the administration. But, In in ment, a few unpopular appointments it home and abroad, and the passage of the Nebraska bill, though naturally productive of dissatisfaction in certain quarters, do not sufficiently aocount for that fierce insurrec tion of bigotry and ignorance which has lately agitated the popular mfisses with a fever approaching to madness, and whioh, for the time, in almost every State in .the Union, has swept down the disorganized legions of the hitherto invincible Democracy. Neither is there a^ proper explanation af forded by the circumstance that, in some of the States, local feuds connected with the leadership of individuals, have been permit ted to intervene in disturbance of the effi ciency and unity of the national organiza tion. More or less, these local jealousies and disorders have always existed. These causes do not adequately account for the effects. The whole land appears to be sud denly afflicted with a virulent moral pesti lence. Contemplating the present condition of public feeling and opinion, the people do not seem to have exercised a rational sense of discrimination. It is quite impossible to suppose the public mind to be in a healthy state, and that recent demonstrations have been intended merely as an ordinary popu lar expression of condemnation of an un popular administration. It is much more than this, otherwise ft would not be forgot ten that although there may have been some administrative acts the people might ration ally disapprove, there are many others they must cordially commend, while the state of the country itself shows that the general conduct of the administration has been un- S [uestionably promotive of the general wel- are of the Republic. I can speak, and do speak, with perfect disinterestedness, for I have not received the least consideration from the President or his Cabinet. The few favors I have requested,' have been refused without apology or explanation, or even ap parent regret. But let this pass. I think it is only reasonable to maintain that the acquisition of the Mesilla Valley Territory —the Reciprocity Treaty by which the Fisheries question has been settled to our satisfaction and other important advantages secured—the Presidentiiu vetoes, right as all admit, in principle, yet requiring for their exercise great courage and firmness under the circumstances; the Kozsta case— the destruction of the Grevtown En glish Negro pirates; the valuable scientific explorations effected through the War De- E artment, the efficiency and incorruptible onesty that have distinguished the opera tions of the 'I reasury; it is my opinion that all these together, should be regarded with considerable commendation, and as affording a weighty, if not conclusive set off against mistakes in appointments to office either at home or abroad, or any real or fanoied errors in policy in other respects. To ascribe the late revulsion in public opinion to a fixed and defined resolution to the peo ple to condemn a mal-administration of the Government, is, in my view, a mere pue rility. The seat of the disease is deeper, and in the end it will be plainly proved to be so. What we have witnessed is not simply a rebuke to the administration. It is in effect a popular revolt against the Constitution—against the whole experience of the government—against the settled truths of democracy—against the Union— against moral principle—against the che rished precepts and lessons bequeathed to us by the authors of our liberties—against the peace and order of society itself. It is in effect, if consummated, a reversal of the al most traditionary policy of the nation in many particulars ; in respect of immigra tion; in respect of religious toleration; in respect of the principle in Civil and Reli gious equality among Citizens; and it amounts to no less than the inauguration of communistical ideas and general skepticism as the leading characteristics of American Society. But fellow-Democrats, I can at best only glance at the subject. We all know and feel that a crying evil is in our midst—that social order and rational liberty are in great danger. We all know and feel that unless some healthy corrective can be applied in time, our boasted American institutions are in extreme peril of being seriously impaired, if not completely overwhelmed by the most disreputable influences. It has become the duty of the Democracy of the land to engage in another contest more difficult and more laborious than any it has everyet been dele gated to meet; and I do confess that it is with a feeling of irrepressible pride, and in a spirit of intense thankfulness to God, that I have already perceived, notwithstanding our temporary reverses, a courageous reso lution on the part of the undismayed De mocracy throughout the Union, to vindicate and to defend to the last, the inestimable E rinciples of civil equality and religious reedom. The political controversies between the Democratic party and its opponents have heretofore involved mere questions of expe diency, or at the worst, some doubtful act of constitutional invasion. But the present opposition is of a totally different descrip tion. So far as the free States are concern ed, the opposition now consists of two im mense fanatical factions—Abolitionism and Know-Nothings,—each not only conspiring openly against the Constitution and Laws, —not only intent upon the acquisition of power for illegal objects,—not only anarchi cal, immoral and infidel in their moral and mental proclivities, but the one insanely re solved on the prosocution of designs neces sarily subversive of the Union if persisted in, the other anxious to promote a wide spread social Revolution at the expense of law, order and reason. In using this strong language I do not think I exaggerate the facts, if all the cote and preparation sound ed in our ears, be not after all, a piece of harmless and contemptible quackery for mere office-seeking' purposes, I cannot be far wrong. I certainly do not intentionally err in supposeing that the essential purposes and ultimate aim of abolitionism is to ob tain possession of the Executive and Legis lative authority of government, in order to rob, in the name of Law and Humanity, the Southern people of their slave property; while Know-Nothingism is striving by means of secret political societies to discard the principle, ana to disavow the practice of Religious toleration in America. It is im possible to imagine a more unholy combina tion for more unchristian objects. Aboli tionism with the torch of the incendiary in its hands threatens to destroy our noble po litical structures. Know Nothingism to undermine the whole social foundation.— Know Nothingism not only sets up, for all practical purposes, Religious tests and pen alties among our free people in violation of chartered rights, but proposes the hellish scheme of seperating into two distinct bod ies, as by a line of fire, the native born and the naturalized citizens, and to constitute the former indespite of existing laws and existing institutions, a master class over the latter. Ancient Federalism, at a time of vast excitement, sought to do this in some degree, but the Democracy of the days of Jefferson and Madison, to stamp the effort with its pointed reprobation, appointed two adopted citizenb, consequently, Messrs. Dal las and Gallatin, to the responsible poet of Secretary of the Treasury. The badges of Know Nothingism then are, 1st. Secret oath-bound political societies. 2d. The es tablishment of religious tests and penalties to be applied to all Catholics, whether na tive horn or naturalized. 3d. The proscrip tive exclusion of all adopted citizens from office, or official employments, and their sep aration as regards the enjoyment of the po litical franchise, into a class distinct, from and inferior to the native-born inhabitants. When we come to consider Know Nothing ism as a practical question in its practical issues, no amount of ingenuity or eloquence can make it anything else than what I have described it—a verr hydra of deformity, with its every head filled with the head-heat poisons—a thing Anti-American in the mode it has consented to give itself expression- bigoted and tyranical beyondcomparison in the results it would accomplish. Its theo- tion to enforce the law, regardless of all Bnt» when it asserts (to use its own dema- pU|Q|]|| ffMlIITqWPnOW mma tJiun\ ihai ImmImm iIa *ia$ gogio phraseology,) that American, do not I fi^tsrt tf J&OW.N now and have not always ruled America.— m supposing, js^aflbctiug to sup- the word should only 1H its fflNinirtfliprelfte-born citizens . our Fathers—tho liberal spi irit of our institutions—and in the meaning of the law, It ae properly refers to titepaturalized citizens as to others. 3d.

In pre suming to question the equal right of a Catholic or a naturalized citizen to hold any office under the government except the Pres idency or Vice Presidency of the United States, with any native born man whatever. 5tb. In doubting, or affecting to doubt, the political alegiance and loyalty of either the Catholic population, or naturalized citizens generally. 6th. In proceeding, as it clean ly does, on the idea that this is a Protestant government and country, absolutely belong ing to the native-born class, who'have the right to substitute their prejudices, passions and individual wills in the place of the Con stitution and laws, and to govern not in the name of justice or in the forms of law, but by and through the irresponsible Councils and lodges of a secret society. And while Know Nothingism is so grossly mistaken in its theory, the remedy it proposes for the ills it imagines to exist is much more intol erable than those ills even if they did in re ality prevail. Fellow Democrats—The religious clement of Know-Nothingism is that in which it finds its chief political capital. With the exception of the local effort here, and at one or two other places, by the politico-Native Americans in ’44, is the first time in the his tory of the country that any party or fac tion has brought religion into the political arena, in direct aid of the selfish aspiration of office-seeking politicians. To accomplish its demagogic designs, it ventures to assume that the Catholics m the United States en tertain sentiments of hostility to our repub lican liberty, and to the principles of our government. There is not a particle of ev idence to sustain this charge of insinuation. I hardly need repeat here what I have often said, and what is well known in this com munity, that I am not a Catholic. But it would be a piece of moral cowardice if I did not declare my belief that, so far from there being sufficient evidence to sustain such an averment, all the facts tend to es tablish the reverse of the proposition. In the first place, the Catholic religion is em braced freely, and on terms of perfect equality with every Protestant or other form of worship in our political system, and it would seem well nigh absurd to suppose Catholicism in America hostile to a system where it has existed under the organic pro tection of the laws, and in greater real free dom than in many countries denominated Catholic. In the second place, the whole history of Catholicism in this country—-if the people reflect the spirit of their religion —shows that the imputation is entirely un founded. The active participation of Cath olics in all the trying scenes of our own War of Independence—their important par ticipation in the very councils in which our government itself was adopted-—the enthu siastic support accorded by the Catholics to the administration of Mr. Jefferson—the cordial manner in which they sustained Gen. Jackson at another memorable era—and the striking fact that the class believed to be more devoted to their religion and more un der its control than any other, have actual ly aroused the bitterest animosities in cer tain quarters, on account of their unvary ing support of Democratic principles, would appear to present a moral demonstration of the falsity of this Know-Nothing allegation. A little reflection will convince any one that this anti-Catholic cry is a matter of unmiti gated humbug. If Know-Nothingism be inimical to the appointment of Catholics to office, because in its arbitrary and anti- American temper it does not like Catholics that is one thing. If Know-Nothingism, in pursuance of its prejudices and passions, organize a conspiracy to exclude citizens of the Catholic religion from office, it must set tle the matter with its conscience, (if it have any,) and violated majesty of the Constitu tion. But if in justification of its illiberal and unwise conduct, it appeals to its fear of Catholic influence, as being unfriendly to liberty and dangerous in this country, I am convinced it will fail both in its facts and arguments. Just consider for a single mo ment. There are 14 Protestants—besides those of other religions—to one Catholic in the United States. There is not a single city, town, or insignificant village even, where the Catholics have a majority of the Council. At least, if there be such a place, I have never heard of it. No State of the 31 has a Catholic Executive. In the seve ral State Legislatures, a Catholic Represen tative. is rarely found. In the Congress of the United States, composed of several hun dred members, there are not a dozen Catho lics, all told. In the Judiciary departments, Federal and State, a Catholic is hardly to be seen. In the Executive branch of the Federal Government—I refer more particu larly to the President and his Cabinet, and all the more leading departments and bu reaus—there is, as far as I know, but one Catholic. Among all the prominent Fede ral appointments, foreign and domestic, there are an hundred Protestants to five Catholics. It is true, that R. B. Taney, ap pointed by Andrew Jackson, Chief Justice of the United. States, is a Catholic; but ma lice itself has never questioned his abilities, his patriotism, or his republicanism. And yet with Protestanism so largely preponde rant among the people, Know-Nothingism would craftily persuade us that our institu tions are at the mercy of Catholics—these, too, arrogantly assumed to be disloyal; and this, be it remembered, while in a condition of stultification, or inexpressible impudence, it is unblushingly doing the same thing of which it accuses the Catholics—seeking to appropriate the powers of government to itself, not on any solid plan of well-digest ed statesmanship, but in the name of Prot estant sectarianism. For one, I cannot admit an oxisting necessity for changing the naturalization lairs. We have only to execute properly those we already have, and they will be found sufficiently stringent. Let us, also, exercise some proper remedy against the influx of mere paupers and criminals. Wo have territory enough to support, in plenty and abun dance, six hundred milions, and we now have twenty-foui millions, and among them two and a half millions of adopted citizens. These consti tute, for the most part, the laboring population of the free States. The wonderful development of the Mississippi Valley, and the rapid construction of onr vast works of national improvements, ore principally owing to their untiring capacity for the severest labor. In fine, I cannot comprehend the wisdom of the policy that suggests a modification or repeal of the naturalization laws, or the princi ple of enslaving any portion of the free people of this country. Fellow Democrats—A word or two more and shall conclude. While I am opposed to these se cret, oath-bound societies, as a pestilential heresy, on political grounds, they become, if anything, still more abhorred on grounds of morality. True, in its fusion with Abolitionism, (and this must af ford exquisite gratification to those Democrats who have preferred its polluting embraces to the honest principles of Jefferson,) Know-Nothingism has assisted to elect eight or nine Abolition Gov ernors of States, and aided to elect three Aboli tionists to the Senate of the United States, and helped to send a Bedlamite set of Abolition repre sentatives to the next Congress from New Eng land, New York, and the Northwestern States.— Its political*action has been highly dangerous, but in its moral anatomy it is still more unendurable than in its political character. As a moral being, Know-Nothingism has been conceived in a dog matic and tyrannous temper. It is conducted in darkness and secresy, by agents unknown to the people. The end it seeks is power, for tho soke of plunder; and the means by which it works are not only ofiensive to a delicate sense of private honor but to the commonest ideas of decency and hon esty. I have never seen but one man who would not deny, point blank, if questioned, that he be longed to the order. I have known hundreds of men who wore members, deliberately deny the fact, with the intention to deceive. It is well known to yon, fellow Democrats, that during osr last elections here, there wero creatures who pro fessed the utmost aversion to Know-Nothingism— who iterated and reiterated their sense of Demo cratic fidelity—who received money from the trea sury of the party to expend for the party’s uses, who not only eonsenteid to serve on important committees, but who procured themselves to be appointed; and who, nevertheless, in violation of good faith and all admitted rules of moral duty, intentionally deceived us and betrayed us to our opponents, being all the time the agents of the secret office-seekers. In plain language, their con duct, occasioned, ho doubt, by the wieked influ ences to whioh they were subjected, was an abject is impossible to ing profligacy than Men, heretofore presented for office—the ttslh’iierf' to tha^effect^»iia' by oafts sworn on them ini the news; their actual membi ____ ed by their own admissions and acts, and' s-Sr ip have been 'on*. quently all their Ulegations and oaths tended in exeeution of a scheme of decepti*^ **' they might propitiate the favor of the dhrk t* ! of Know-Nothingism. * ^ Vit Your attention hat no doubt been attiscas the circumstances that recently in a n/TT* 11 ? caucus of Know-Nothing members of \ oers of th 0 tore at Harrisburg, there were but two iwiiSr”*' 1 in confn»,-,._ .. **■ ken, when the caucus broke up i pearing in. the most conclusive manner had managed to cheat and deceive each otk both ballotings. It has been well ascertained 011 during the late Gnbernational contest there 8 ^ persons who were once Democrats and thc* <t0 honorable, who attended the Democratic with the most assiduous politeness and c«». 1 f* voluntarily expressed to him and to others J J? 0 — —uiuerg fun., edly the deepest interest in his success; ^r 11 ' companied him from county to county, aa t ’ *°' their seats with him on the Tostrum at meetings—who denounced the anti-Americjjw^' tion in unsparing and vehement terms—**' all men could do to deceive, that they nut>h t r* tray, and who thus acted the part of traitors ^ spies as the delegated emissaries of the Nothing Society. But the other day, a factb? eating the most startling degree of mental!,'j moral demoralization, transpired in this Stau The Speaker of tho House of Representor Mr. Strong, a member elected by the enliX/5 constituency of the city of Philadelphia, yiY stand the most cherished monuments of our olutionary glory—with a number of his collejY in the Legislature, addressed a letter to the noo rious speculator, George Law, a New York adve turer—who has never seen a day’s political lerri" in his life, except, perhaps, to lobby a bill thro-!? Congress for his own advantage—inviting him be a candidate for tho Presidency of the United States—proposing to place him in the Presidential chair, once occupied by George ington, and always by statesmen. Every hod, within the limits of tbo corporation is cognim, of the manner in which the Know-Nothing ^ ministration of the city has been conducted. P to j beginning to end, it has beon contemptible, sham*. less in its brazen ignorance, and venal. It j s 8l jj there is no argument like that which touches the pocket, and I trust the' increased city debt of t million and a half, and the heavy burdens cf tu a tion, will induce many of our deluded citizens to open their eyes to the true character of our p™ tended reformers. But I ask in all seriousa,,. how can society long continue to exist in any groo of happiness and freedom, with such info! ences prevailing in it, or controlling it in its ami important affairs? If truth, sincerity, candor and fair dealing between man and man, are virtue! without which no society can long hope to najj tain itself in those happy bonds of fraternizati 0 j by which the collective rights and happiness of the community aro preserved—then duplicity guile, treachery and lying, if they be tolerated-if in truth they are not extinguished by an over! whelming expression of popular abhorrence, muss speedily reduce society to the condition of demoninm. Beyond a question, Know-Nothin,! ism is but one of the types or forms of the dises*, that now nfflicts the moral system of the countn. Abolitionism, Spiritualism, Maine-Lawism, Fo! men’s Rights, Anti-Rentism, Mormonism, Biolo- gy, Electro-Psychology, and Fourierism, uj many other such things, are other kindred former the same general malady. An extreme popnlar li. cense and scepticism have illegitimately appropri ated the right of privato judgment, until, at it the Constitution and laws are in imminent peril of being overwhelmed by a deluge of ianaticiiu, while public peace and public liberty are cryin! out for protection from the traitorous assaulti of midnight conspirators. ^Fellow Democrats—The last hope of the conn, try rests with the Democracy. It is not tha Snt time that the clouds of temporary reverses h»v* been dissipated by tho triumphs of our ultimo success, the more valuable because obtained as the reward of courage, resolution and patient endn. ranee. Rest assured so will it be again. This car nival of vico and folly must soon have an end. In a few months, or years at most, the sober, second thought of a majority of the people will consign it actors into obscurity, amidst tho execrations nnd contempt of a nation restored to its healthfhl senses. We now know our opponents, their ob jects, aud their numbers. Their difficulties begin when ours end. We fight under our old flag, in scribed with its old principles. That flag has been already thrown to the breeze in every State, and millions of brave and devoted hearts are nub. ing beneath it. The opposition changed innothiag but in name, and in the abandonment of all pn. tcnco to either statesmanship or principle, recruit, ed by the outcasts from the Democratic ranks, hire fallen on our unsuspecting columns in an hoar of over confidence and repose, and are rejoicing onr successes as unexpected as unmerited by them. The different factions have all readily united against the Democracy, but these mercenaries ctu- not long agree among themselves. Tho recent election in Now York is typical of what will occnt when they attempt to make on affirmative move, ment for the Presidency. The respective friends of tho Fusion tripartite Holy Alliance, will then dissolve partnership, and the different clement; composing the “Fusion,” will be as much oppojed to each other, as they all now aro to the sound De. mocracy. I think I can see the events of theneil two years as though they had already transpired, and I believe if alive, notwithstanding the clemor of Abolition and Know Nothing expectation, ocee- sioned by onr late defeats in some of the States, and their anticipated and probable victories in others, I shall yet attend the Inauguration of i pure Democrat as President of tho United Statu in 1857. r Wheat Crop in the West. . , to have the best accounts of th« wheat crop.

It is “kicking against the pricks” foranj Southern Know-Nothing journal to attempt to deny that Northern Know-Nothingism u essentially identical with abolitionism.- Startling facts arise mountain high, to over whelm all such hypocritical pretences. The records of the elections fully demonstrate it, and the dark vista of the future action of the House of Representatives, crowded with Know Nothing Abolitionists, causes every patriot in the land to shudder for the conse quences. The Washington Union utterly refutes the weak and discreditable pretexts of Southern Know Nothing papers on this subject. It shows by an array of facts: First. Thatin nearly every case the Know Nothings in the free States have elected violent freesoil Whigs to the 34th Congress Second. That in every case with but three or four exceptions, every candidate for Con gress elected by the Know-Nothings was compelled to pledge himself in advance to all the extreme measures of the abolition wing, beginning with the restoration of the Missouri Compromise line, and ending with the repeal of the fugitive slave law. Third, That every Governor, elected by the Know Nothings in the free States was com pelled to avow his abolition proclivities in advance, and we give the list for the benefit of the Know Nothing papers: Grimes, of Iowa, Gardiner of Massachusetts, Metcalf of New Hampshire, Bingam of Michigan Dutton of Connecticut, Hoppin of Rhode Island, Pollock of Pennsylvania, Morril of Maine. Fourth. That every Senator of the United States elected by the Know Nothings is» rank, fanatical, and avowed abolitionist- The following list is submitted to the in spection and criticism of the Know Noth ing papers:—Harlan of Iowa, Wilson of Massachusetts, Durkee of Wisconsin, Seward New York, (however his present position i may be at war with this undeniable fact) 1 and there can be but little doubt that men of the same opinions will be chosen from New Hampshire as a result of the last elec tion in that State. Nothing but the finnne* of the democratic party in Pennsylvania ano Indiana has thus far prevented the return from those States to the United StaW Senate of rank and uncompromising abon» tionists. Not less undoubted is the fact that neier before has abolitionism been so strong ® the Northern and Western States as since the triumph of the Know Nothings. Ultra abolition resolutions are nowbelow the Know Nothing Legislature of Pennsylv* nia, and are expected to pass. , The most revolutionary abolition ins ““°! tions and resolutions have already been passed by the Know Nothing Legislature Michigan. The same have been passed by the Kno Nothing Legislature of Maine. ., The same by the Know Nothing Leg®®' ture of Illinois. Such are the trophies of Know Nothing" ism in the free States.
