Ii. Craigc both hoot at tho idea of foreigners and Catholics controlling this government. They say that there pre but two millions of for eigners out of a population of twenty-four millions. According to the census of 1 "".", the population is only twenty-three, aud not twenty four million, as Mr. Caldwell states, while the foreign population, then, was not ',1100,(1(10, as ho says ; but it was J,"-,v!5,(i0t. There has, since ihut lime, come into the I'uited States, unmiaifi. an average of over Jif hundred thousand, which would make to t lie present timo nnro than two ami a half millions more, making in all about five millions nf foreigners. Then deduct the slave population, which is over three mil-1 lions, aud w ho cannot vote, and you will j have a foreign influence in the country of: S. ...... ill. .1 . A. .. !...'.. UjOo.jUoo, ajailihi au Jimvt iec jtiumi tun of 17 or 1 y,UO0,0l,0, vii: they would con stitute about ouc-fourtb or one-fifth of our vote. Then, take into consideration, (ho further fact, that they (the foreigner) ore universally violent opjioncnti of ilovely and rank abolitionists; that, also, they nearly all settle in the North aud North-W. est, aud that they all vote together, ci ww tr t'uat, fuithermorc, they are nearly nil ,l(onian Catholics, and are under the comp;el tottr trol of, the Jesuitical LUhopr janfi pries'?. Take into further consideration, that the parties are nearly equally divided iu all the States, and that a slight.of' vote either way ran control the election ; and it can be easily seen, at a glance, how foreign influ ence can and dixs control the country by its voti, en mussc. And these very votes can be txtiifiht up by the demagogue who w ill bid the highest and promise to do most for the Catholics, and give the fairest promises of office, and thus directly control and influ ence the entire representation of all offices in the State or Federal Governments : from the "clerks and sheriffs of a county to the legislators and governors of a State, and from the representatives iu the Congress of the United States to the President. Then take into consideration the further fact that, as tiincteeu-tweuticths of this for eign vote yes, I might-eny, ninety-uiue-hundredths sf this foreign Catholic vote, who believe in the supreme civil, aj well as cphitual, authority of the Pope of Home, and who banish the bible not only from j their common schools, but from the use of their members at all ; I say just consider! that these abolition, Catholic foreigners near- J ly all sittU at the Xuitt and Sortli-11 est and swell the population there 5,J()0,(lbO ; ' that every U0,(UH) of a federal population ; Bends one representative to Congress. Then, ! divide 5,OU(),(ltiO by J0,UO0, and you will: find that they increase the Abolition Vote of 'j the yorti FIFTY-FIVE MEMHEHS. ' And that is the foreign influence, adverse , to the South and her institutions aud ad-1 verse to I'ratcstutism, that rults tc conn, try, and as annually alarmingly increasing to ii and 7U0,0iMI, and will soon be, if it progresses as heretofore, 1,(100,000 a year. And theu consider that Mr. Craigc voted j for the Nebraska bill, for I believe that is I the fact, which gives to each one of these i forcigiicis 100 acres of the public laud, sud j allows theut to settle dowu upon it aud vote, I as soon as they laud here and remain nne year upou it a boon that has bem denied to our brave soldiers of the war tf ami to our revolutiouary soldiers, uatil last Congress, and theu tell uielf you can still , vote for him. Or tell me if you do i(irt still think that, by that vote, (riving to foragers what lias tieeii denied to our citizeu soldiers, until so lately, he has " proved rerramt to ' the interests of his constituents," to the South and to natiee American citizens. . Hut there appears something still more strange iu Mr. Caldwell's card, if it is not ridiculous, and that is, that be says that he was understood to be an expected candidate, is early as last March; that he had received urgent solicitations from promi nent Whigs in various parts of the district, as early as that time. Well, I suppose that probably twenty or fifty others may have received urgent solicitations, also, and men altogether as proii.iueut as himself, but who did not, therefore, expect that the en tire Government should rest upon their shoulders; unless they were nominated by a convcutiou ill the Usual way. They did Mot care to foist themselves prominently for- irard, in such hot hate until they were Juiry invited into the field. I don't know of any very great service he bad ever rendered the couutry or the Whig par ty, that be should be considered, par ex eeUnce, the Ajax Tclamon of the par ty the great luminary before whom all other and lesser stars should grow dun. The fact of his having been elected as a Whig, to the State legislature, from a Iein ocrntio county, one time, under juao'i'ir ein tinistnne, by W'higs swapping off with Democratic voters, when there were two sets of candidates iu tho field, was no strong ev idence of such amazing popularity, as would j make Mr. Cald well. the most available can didate for a conprcssioinU compaigu, with out respect to capacity, or other qualifica tion.. It struck myself, and other with whom I conversed, as rather displaying au ((( anxiety to '-sere foe people" mid ap peared very much like an attempt lo fore stal public ppiuion, aud prevent the bring ing out of a candidate by a convention, or by county meeting?, who would be most ac ceptable to the district generally. And I .Link all such r'ri4itnteer" caudidatos should be invited by the public to "tarry awhile I at Jericho until their beards be grown," mid not exhibit so much eagerness to be-! come file leaders, even if they should be so-1 liciled by leading members of their party, j 1 i .1 the gentleman not submit, his chums lo the ronientiol of the American order in Charlotte! Aud did he not agree to abide the -esuts cf that convention of the Ameii-i can order, or of tho Know Nothings, as he' calls them ! Was be a member of that or-', der, when the nomination was made, and, if so, bow could be ojipose the regular nomi- nee 1 If be was a member then, how c-ould ( he deny that he belonged to the order next j day, in his speech! My impression is, that he denied that he either did then, ever had , or t i er e.rpecied to belong to the order. liut 1 will not bo positive tUi.t he said he 1 never had been. 1 suppose, if bo llnd pot, the nomination, he would have been, like the backwoodsman at the lottery ticket of fice ; it would have been "just as Jair a thing as could be;" but, like biin, too, when it' failed to draw him a prize ; be thought it, " a perfect cheat," and thought it " ought to be broken all to d d smash." It looks to me more like selfish interest and selfish policy that governs such 'men than true principle. The frowning simplicity and naircte with which the truth leaks out, for the reason why Mr. Caldwell joined the order of Know Nothings" was, the solicitude (he has been wonderfully solicited) of a friend, and the assurance of a " magnanimous Mexican,'' that the party had a majority in this con- cressional district. It seemed lo be more a desire for being ou the popular hide than any principles involved, that caused him to join Unit party and afterwards to leave it. I rather susDect that his treaty of neaee in the service of the " magnanimous Mexi can" was broken, not as much from a dis like of the principles involved, as front a dislike of the results of the action of tho convention that "met in the planing shop," and was broken because he was not appoint ed tho officer to command, but like all oth er recruits, was to be a subaltern or "take osition I 'm the ranks." In short, because he w as not of as much consequence, in the es timation of the nominating convention, as ho was in bis own estimation. Because he had, " contrary to the use...' course of the faculty," taken stimulant.. o opium, whilst the feverish desire fjr office prevailed, in stead of cooling salts, which was more prop erly administered afterwards by the con vention, and finally sweated off by the su dorific mixture, presented by a certain Dr. Ii. Craigc, iu Charlotte, and which makes him so grateful to the doctor for restoring him (o his right mind. Therefore it is, that be raises his oracular voice to '.varn the Whigs generally, from his superior wisdom, against the Know Nothing organization a body, too, that he had voluntarily joined, aud in part defended in his speech iu Char lotte, aud whoso principles mid regular nominations he hud sworn to support aud defend-, and never lo oppose. I don't think the solemn entreaty to the party will carry over a corporal's guard ; or, indeed, that it will. have any other effect, I their goal.

The Allies bad met with a st-ious check before Scbnstobol. On the lrth of J uue, the French and Eng lish respectively attacked the Malakoff and Redan towers, butweie both repulsed with great slaughter. Tbe details could not be looked for before the end of June, aud in the meantime pri vate advices of the most serious description Were agitating the public mind. According to one account the British loss alone was not short of four thousand, in cluding amongst the killed General Camp bell and upwards of 70 other officers. Contradictory rumors pi wailed, and it was thought the above was somewhat cxaf gerated. In the British Parliament Mr. Roebuck had moved a Vote of censure against the Ministry. A large new" French loan was to be im mediately negotiated.

Lord .Raglan's despatch and the news paper correspondence are to hand, describ ing the gallaut capture of the Mnmelon and the quarries, 'lbe details ure highly inte resting, but the main facts have been stated with general correctness. ' . Tbe allies have made an unsuccessful at tempt to storm Sebastopol. The most sin ister rumors prevail iu regard to the trans- action. By some accounts the Eiixlish loss is set down at 4,000 men, but tha report is believed to be much exaggerated. The following are the only official notifi cations of the event : Lord Panmure regrets to have to an nounce that he has received information that tho English troops attacked the Redau, and the French the Malakoff towers, at day light on the morning of the 1 "th, wubout suc cess, which has hitherto attended our ef forts. Both the French and ourselves have suffered considerably. Tho names of the officers who have fallen will be forwarded immediately, but it will be impossible to re ceive complete returns of all the casualties bcfoie the yth iust (June) ut the earliest. 'J' lie Moni'cur announces that the govern ment has received two despatches from Gen eral Pelissier. 'The first, dated the 17th, informs of operations coucocted between tbo Gcucral and his allies, aud that the Turks and Chasseurs made a recounoisances to- ' wards Aitodor, General Bo.-quet occupying the TelKiuaya. The next day, at daybreak,, the French aud English were to attack the Malakoff. The second despatch, dated 1-tli. announces the attack had failed, and that although the troops bad showed tho greatest ardor, and gained a fooling iu the Malakoff lower, General IVliisier was oblig ed to order their retirement into the paral lel. This was effected wiUi order, and with out molestation by the enemy. Private accounts, published in the Lou dou Standard, say the loss of British offi cers, iu killed anil wounded, amounts to uo less than seveuty. Among the killed and wounded arc General Sir J. Campbell, Col. " Yea and Col. Shadlbrth. From the obstiuacy aud courage with which the combat was maintained by the British at the Redan, and the necessity of eventually retiring from the attack, the slaughter ou all sides has been immense : and if tho information be correct, the loss killed and wounded of tho British alone amounts to very little short of four thousand. 1 lie greatest port;ou of the oss was expel leneed iu a ravine where a powerful and unexpected battery opened on the troops. There is reason to fear that the less has been very great, but Lord Palmer- , rton said ou Friday night uo additional in formation bad arrived. 'The allies lost ter ribly by the Russians springing a mine, and dining the confusion they (the Russians) re captured the Mamelon tower. . Previous advices were on the 17th, stat ing that there- had bce'i smart firing n both sides, but without any result of im portance.
