Att imn fA. with 1 course as a whole, and had repeated - jthlgment in my favor, I have at no time a reuended injury from Uiis publication. I have K'en informed, however, that some of the k w-noitungs, and other opponents or mine, re atteraptinr to misrenresent ons for?not having said anything in reply, and I therefore avail myself of a (little Jeisuip to notice lucli of the poiats embraced in it as have reference to the politickr conW now going on in the country. I have no desire to keep uf a controversy with my colleague, for I made no reference to him in! any -way nor on the' other: hand, shall I complain if he thinks my opinions and former course more important subjects for. public! discussion than any other : matter now befbr the country. I shall only netice some of the more promi nent points made by him, whxh possibly, if unheeded, might tend to mislead. the unin formed. I I I ) To sustain tha peculiar doctrines, of the I know-not hitig or American party, he makes a? quotation from a speecli of mine, delivered'Jan uary 6, 1845, as Allows : "And if the foreign Cat fane, or fnroirmoL Kcntrrany, ronunue handed togethel, with k u!atr .f i;.

I Tl. -LL Ml ' . . . ' 100 seiuence. ioiiowtng it, in the same speech, is in these words : : " But, sir, I wish it distinctly understood that I am for no native American party ; I care not whether a man may have been born under the jcy zone i which girts the pole, or in the7 torrid clime; where the morning sun is first seen, of at the place of his eoinsr down, if he comp in tiiis land, and, after the residence prescribed by law, and in the manner provided, take? an oath to support the constitution, and adopts wiih it an .American heart, American feelirigs, deter mining, lhen,"to uphold the- rights and interests of this country against all others thai man will I take by the hand and welcome as' Jan Ameri can citizen should be by his fellows. f If this sentence had been copied by my colleague with its fellow immediately preced ing, it would have been clear to every one, that, even at that time, I .Was utterly op posed to the formation of any, such party as he belongs to. On the contrary, I regard ed such a " party as more rnischievbus than the abuses which I was condemning. . Those who have read the whole speech, know to what I had reference. Nearly twelve months previous there had occurred ja very serious disturbance in 'Philadelphia, in Consequence of a collision bet wee n some of! the foreigners and Catholics J and native; citizens, during which j some were killed on both ! sides, and viuuuiiu.vuuibiics uufin uy me rnoD. in the midst of -that excitement, a natiyeAmerican party was formed, andMr. Clay was adopted as iU candidate. This circumstance, taken in connexion ; svij.Ii the vioent war waed against the foreigners and Catholics, very na turally drove most of themjnto opposition t Mr. Clay. v Uuder' the exe.iieraent of that ye ry heateVI canvas,' those' foreigners and Catbo Iics' were' guilty of the excesses which I cons demned,'and I did, therefore, say, that if they "continue banded logether( with a view of controlling the elections of the country ,w they wouhj create a successful 'opposition to the Vffjh,heyr9n associated. Buti in poinof. facHhia was not the case. ; 0u the contrary, it is well known that in the next presidential-election! that! of 1848, the for. eigners and Catholicswere 'divided,' like the atvf citizens, between General Taylor and General Cass, andJ therefore,, there vas not ibe slightest excuse for hostility tj them on 'depart of native, Americans. . As the conv dition upon which my prediction was made did not occur, of course the prophesy " could not be realized,, and hence the gentleman's hopes pf success for his ! American party which seem to mainly! built on this pre diction ,; of minei . are destined to fall, to the ground. When therefore, 'discomfiture over takes his American party, I hope'he will, on reflection not allowhisfalth an me as a prophet to be shakemjM Reade in the next j P,ac refers to m.y statemeeA thAt tbe a.boltioft myeraeat in ,xnisconntrjr ' has ! t received its main strength I from the . sunroiit givenj U by the British goTernment and. a portion of its aristocracy, and adopts the statement as true, .lie then insists, that, because the doIU cy of thai fifeign government is hostile to us, we ought to be opposed to those foreiomrs who em migrate to-this Wintry Tt U singu, lar that my colleague should be ifimorant of the well known fact; that in Great Britain as well as in most of the the body jof the people are opposed j to thei . "-' ( i " - ...... own government and hostile to ita policr - - - r for that wgtaiiding force, to compel the people to ding force, to 5omoeI the neonl to to complain of the oppression udjfVBichth y suffered, the government employed as many as one hundred and fifty thousand ! men.-to repress any outbreak; that might occur. It thus hap ens that most of those who emmi- grate and come to this country, are inspired with feelings, of hostility to thoir own gov ernments, and manifest the most decided op positionto all movements that are favored by the goviemments they have abandoned. Most of themmigrants from the British domin ions are Irishmen, and it U well known that they have both jn war and inj peace shown themselves true Americans, and especially hostile to great Britain. It is a rare thing to find an Irishman who is an abolitionist. The Irisljf and other foreign citizens were the per sons, who supported the authorities a( Boston, and, prevented the abolitionist's from rescuing a runaway negro Burn It was because these people upheld the constitution and laws against the native abolitionists that I my col league's know nothing party,: when it came inx power in Massachusetts, I disbanded the military companies . composed of foreimers. and refused to allow them the privilege of supporting the government of their; adopted country. The fact is undeniable tnat since the anti-slavery movement has become so for'. midable, the great body of foreigners in the North have acted with the friends of the con stitution .and of the South against die. native abolitionists. Is, it not, thereforev-strange that Mr. Reade, a citizen of a southern State, should advise his constituents to Join the native abo litionists in making war upon the foreigners, because these foreigners are friends of our own section I Might he not,' in direct terms, as wen asKyou to turn abolitionists yourselves, a to advise you to co-operate witL our enemies-? The only' advantage that has resulted from the know nothing or; native-raerican organi zation is, that its movement has tended to make the foreign voters still more decided in their support of the constitution 8nd the rights of the South. On the other hand.1 the men who are endeavoring to carry out the aboli tion of the British government are native Americans, led on by Giddings, Seward. Hale. Chase, Sumner, Wilson , and the like, whose birth was on our own soil, i ! f aiy colleague also argues, that to nut down the' abolitionists we should i join .his American party. This is a singular! remedy. when it is remembered that the great majori ty of this party are abolitionists themselves, orfree-soilers. In the northern States, where alone it has had the control, more than nine teen-twentieths are anti slavery men. My colleague must remember that out of about one hundred members of Congress which that party has from the North, not one could be found who would vote for Aiken against Banks, who was an avowed free soiler and ab olitionist. That small fragmenf tlie Amer ican or know nothing party of the North with which he professes to act, and whichj nomina ted Mrr Fillmore, is in - a minority in every one of the" free States. If, therefore, you should follow his advice and join his party, you will either go into an organization which is thor oughly abolitionized, or youj must act with a small squad of men who are in the minority everywhere, and who are not able to bring to your aid one congressional vote.: ... j - .-. On the other, hand, looking to the results of the elections for the last twelve monts, there is reason to believe that the democracy will be able to carry a majority of thei northern States. As the at this time all stand on sound principles, it iatherefore,'even as a matter of mere policy, independently, of whait -is right in itself, you duty to act with them.; But my colleague says that they have as a party only one third ' of the members I of Congress, and are, therefore, too feeble to help you, dec The members of the present" Congress from the North were elected year' before last. Then there was a sudden combination of the abo litionists, and his know-nothings, and by their joint attack, violent! and secret as it was the democracy were cut down, and a free-soil know nothing Congress elected. But seeing the mischief likely to result t from this, many patriotic whigs within the last twelve months have united with the democrats, and enabled them to carry the State elections ; and could they, have at -the same time voted for mem bers of Congress, we (should hare had an en tirel different representation in the present House. Is it not strange thai a geatelman in the position of Mr. Beadej should! not know that the elections of memijersof Congress la tue riorttv too place two years ago, or iq 1854 and not last year, in Vsts any of, the pewspaplrs 4eh at home, he.' would at a4w nontiav association, with the northern memneri lli-- M whatper.ocls tI,eireIectL, come off, and , thus avoided Ahe mL.Vol t. jf., My colleafjuo also lissaii.

Mr. Webster uimseii nad repeatedly voted for the Wilmot proviso, and on one becaswn claimed the aus thorship of that principle, and said that WiU mot had " stolen his thunder." In his srw.1, of the 7th of Marc, 1S50; which was re garded as conciliator in its tone, he said that he would notice tdmit a' Wilmot on the Mexican territory,. Jiecause in that ter ritory, slavery, was already excluded bv the . easting law, j and th proviso was unnecessa ry. In making thisjstatemenL I do not to detract Irom the general liberality of MK Webster's views on tfcat occasion.
