Clay a gjinit Know Nothingism, nays : Yi sterday waa a great day in this city. It be iny court day, a great many people from the coun try were in the. cny. It had previously been an nounced that Mr. James B. Beck, one of the most uistiiigtiihed and able luwyer in our city, and Mr. James U. Clay, son of the Sage of Ashland, nnd owner ot the old family seat, wonld address the people on tlie political topics ol the diy. There mtm great anxiety to hear both gentb men. and at the appointed hour, the court house was filled to ovei flowing. Mr. Beck spofce first. He has always been n whig, though a man of independent thought nnd action. He spoke for two hours, and made one of the most able and i ffieieul argument against know-lit thingisra that we have listened to during tt.e present ontest. Hi! speech, tlnoughout, af powerful, argumen tative, convincing, conclusive, and told wah tre lie ndniis i fleet upon his aiulience. The n xt gentb mm whu took the stand was Mr. Joins It. Clay, who. as we bare alreadv re ni irk-d. is the son of the great stafa-siwan, and h is ( nice t iled to the paternal es'nle of Ashland. Mr. Clay unl that tins was his fust effort at a public speech, and nothing less th in the profound interest hiffi lie f-h in the great questions at is Mir. cfHitd induce him o appear on this occasion. .Never hi lore had such extraordinary, such alarm ii g, Kucb novel questions been presented f r the ( liiical consideration of the American people. 111 appn hensious ere Br (KM d in new of them.

Mr. Clay denied t'iat the platform put forth by the late know -nothing convention at Philadelphia, was the real platform of the party party did I all them, s:id be; no, they are n-l a party in any proper acceptation ol the term. Parlies have h.-reto'ore he n opon, public and above board ; bui this is a st cret, oath-bound, political organization, which is set-king after the political power of the country, by ways nnd means unknown to the l..w, nnd in palpable disregard of the long-established usages of the people nnd the history of the government. Ii sought political power, not by open and fair means, but by secret plotting, by cabalistic pass-uords; by igns and grip", tin- ( known to ihe people at large, and in palpable vio- ! Itrion til the government. "No, said he, the true platform of this extraor- j dinar y organization is to be found in their oaths j and ritual. There were to be found the things ; which they were sworn to do and to carry out ; ; ;nd lookii H into thee oaiis and the rituai. he found that their objects were to strike at the citi zen of foreign birth, at the immigrants from other countries, to disfranchise, degrade anc1 disgrace t hem . by depriving ihecfi not 1 1 1 y of the right to Americanize themselves, but by cutting them off from the rights of hospitality and humanity. They also sought to disfranchise and degrade an other class of our citizen, whether native-born or foreign, on account of their religious opinions, in plain violation of the constitution of the coun itx.y', regardless of the plainest dictates ol justice nnd humanity. Mr. Clav said that, rather than submit any rx- tend-d remarks of his own on these subjects, he I had chosen to collate the expressed and authentic opinions ol the old lathers of the republic; and he I read extensively from the wri?ings of Washington nn jvtrersoa, Ol Matllsun, ot J .cKson, oi umcy and others. He concluded his happy effort by saying that though the old whig party, w;h Wfticb he had al- ways acted, was tnoKen anu undersea, yet ne up- ; peared there as one of the old rear guard of that once powerful and great party ; and in that capa city he protested against ihis new secret organiza tion, as fraught with danger to his country and its liberties ; and he called upon all the old liners of the whig party to join him in the protest.

Brown, of Tennesse, to Judge Tar pley, Mississippi, is published in the Mississip pian : Nashville, May 29th, 1855. All wife nnd good men should deplore the start ing of new questions and issues to distract the at tention of our sou'hern people at the present mo ment. There is not now, and cannot really be, but one great and absorbing question for the con sidermion of the South the question ol self pre servation. She cannot lose twelve hundred mil- ft ..... . without inquiring where tt was to lead them, I fear, is an indication that they are not conscious of the danger that threatens them, or are indiffer ent to the drcnd'ul results. Still, we must not despair. If they heed not the thunder in the dis tance, perhaps they ma awake when it breaks in awful peals over their heads. In no S'ate, of the South at least, have we ever been endangered by the Catholic or foreigner Neither tin one nor the other has ever dtnnd or invaded our right under the constitution. Where a few Military exceptions to this remark may be pointed out, we can point to hundreds and thous ands in the North, native born Protestants, too. who have, nnd are yet dally putting ihe constitu tion aside nnd murdering our people, hr no other crime than attempting lawfully to reclaim their own property. At this moment, and lor years back, the abolitionist and freesoiler hates and ab hors his native bom breihren at the South more than In hat-s the Catholic or foreigner.

And, in ruder to preserve to the citi and he will tell yo i the slaveholder. Indeed, this j zens of this Commonwealth that natural right movement against these two proscribed classes is only made as the first step to ihe final disfranchise ment of the slaveholder. The great mass and weight ol Democracy has been in the Southern cr .slaieii'ildiiii' .stales. It has been so Irntn the ling tune parlies w re first formed, in the days of Jef ferson and the e'der Adams. The fact ibat for eigners, both Pmtestaul and Cai Indies, afo-r be coming nnturaliZ d, have most commonly (not universally by any means) voted with the Duma, cratic par'y. has engendered all this hostility to them. They p'ard them as liavino sustained the institution of slavery, because they susieiued the Democratic party, existing mainly in the slave j States. To get clear ol the foreigner is, therefore, in their view, to get clear of the Democracy, innl thus to get clear of the accursed slaveholder. Such ts the reasoning of the fanatic and bigot. Let no man say that these are not the motives prompting to ihis nefarious movement, but that the same are to be found in a commendable zeal for tiue and vital religion in our land. Why, it i notorious that men of undoubted pi'"')' have had the least to do with mummeries and persecutions of the new order. Look around you and see how ninny councils have men founded by grave and pious individuals. Who is it that has come from d 8 ant quarters to organize and initiate? Who are they tbnt are observed n ciose and sly persuasions to the inexperienced to come lor ward and he ad mitted ? Not the moral and religious, but th- no toriously ungodly, who never belore exhibit d any respect for true religion, and who, indeed, know and care nothing about it. If any one shall think of the name of this or that minister of the Gospel who has joined the order, the exceptions does not overturn, but con firms, the rub. All ministers are not pious, and some administer or rec ivr the most horrid volun tary oaths in secret, who et publicly inculcate SerjpUrj, plural injunction, "swear no: at all." You know my habitual respect for the clerical profes sion, but, so far ns Protestant clergymen have en gaged in ties persecution, I consider it one of the most discreditable incidents of the age.

There is a species of political trickery carrie l on by the unscrupulous Know Nothings, which.to say the least of it, is unfair and dishonest. It is nei her more nor leas than insinuating, and even openly asserting, that the must prominent demo, crats of every S ate and county are members of that midnight organization. ll is not long since the charge was made against the gallant Gover nor Powell, ol Kentucky, who promptly and man. fully denied the allegation ; and more recently, thev have been circulating a like report about ihe Honorable Daniel S.

From the Baids town Gazette. To Masons Who bat e Joined the Secret Order bulled K.uowIVtliin&fl. I wish to ask you whether or not it is not incon sistent with your obligations as Masons to join or rema.n ith this new order? 1 intend to write nothing that is not proper to be written, but give you plain tacts. Almost ihe first knowledge impressed upon our minds in A. V. Masonry is the fact it does not in terfere wbh religion or politics. It receives in its bosom tli- gool a( all denominations, Catholic or Protestant, Christian or Jew ; it (unlike Know NothingMu) scorns the Atheist. In its glorious pirCep's we are taught thai wo owe each otbee a fraternal ftejing, oi motherly love, which should last ibrugh life. We manifest this by attending even to ihe long home a ded brother, by deposi ting with his remains the sprig of Cassia. Let me ask you if Masonry tioes not leach and charge us to be true to our G'orer?t?nerit ? And does not that Government, in accordance with our beloved principles alluded to, say ' that no religious test shall ever be required ns a qualification to any of fice of pa otic trust under the United States 7 In these principles as laid down I consider myself most solemnly pledged and sworn to main'ain. I as a Mason, cons-id- r further, that 1 could not be i member ol this new order, even if found accep table hi tbtrtr council, for I could not agree or swear thai I ' would vote only lor native born citizens for all offices ot honor, trust, or profit in the gift of the p- opln, to the exclusion of all foreigners, aliens, and Reman Catholics in particular, and without regard to party predilection. A I understand Masonry. (and I have been one for a good many years,) its aim is moral improve ment , its end, chanty ; from all nations and creeds we profess these same principles. L't me ask you ibat if there is a native-born American, who is my brother Vinson in good standirg, who is a Catholic in belief, or say the husband of a Catholic wife, or another who may be o foreigner nnd naturalized citizen, how can I, as a Mason, lake an oath to proscribe either, being a Mason, because of their religion or hinh ? If I am in need or distress yea, tf I -am drowning are they not as much bound to relieve me or to fly to my rescue, at the risk of their lives, ns my native bnrn brethren of Protestant belief? Would they not do so as soon ? I ask you, am I not bound as such to do likewise to or for them ? D we not meet them upon the level and part with them upon tlie square ? Would not all this occur, whether in this or any other continent? If what I here say then, be not true, then Masonry is nothing Know-Not bingism everything. How can I, ihen, as a Mason, go into a lodge or council, where there is no repre- senttve of th sun at high meridian, the beauty ! and glory of the day, and enter into obligation f"-'j"'.' Consider these few reflections in a frnternnl spirit, and come to such conclusions as your own conscience and b-'tter judgement may direct. t raterua Hy, W. The Stable. The merciful man is merciful to his beasf. Thtit horses are often very unmercifully treated by their owners is generally admitted, but our criticism is for the most part confined to the cruelty yvith which they are overworked and half starved. The importance of judicious attention to the stable is seldom considered. Tho injuries resulting to the eyes and feet of horses, from the neglect in this respect, are almost rcatcuiabe. Ophthalmia is ascribed in nine cases out of ten to accident, or some mysterious ''weakness, "and there are various absurd theories to account for diseases of the hoof and l gs ; yet we venture to say that in a majority ol instances these diseases are directly ot indirect ly induced by the dark and dirty stull to which they are confined. The eye of the horse is as tendpr as that of man. What wonder is it, then, thai when this noble ani mal is cooped up for days at a time in a dungeon, with n rack full of dust at his nose, he comes out into the glare ol day with an eye that cannot bear the light of the sun, or that he starts in alarm at everv object before him ! A child will do the same. In a strong light to which the eye is un accustomed nothing can be distinc'l v seen, nnd the imagination, whether of ihe child or the horse, invests every thing obscure with the mysterious nnd the terrible. A distinguished veterinary surgeon ascribes those inflamatory diseases of the feet of tho horse, which render so many fine animals useless for life, to the accumulation of hot manures in their stalls, and the caustic nature of tho ammoniacal vapor which it exhales. There can be little doubt of this suggestion. The hoof buried or many days and nights in a hot bed must necessarily suflW from the heat and the irritation ol the ammonia, and it would be surprising if they were not injur ed. In view of these obviou considerations, we would urge upon our farming friends, and all oth- j . t . . I rt era wno Keep vu.uanm m.rss upu uar p;"". ; iu impor-.ancc o.

Mr. Dodge, United Stntes Mounter at Madrid, was presented to the Queen of Spain on Sunday the 17thofJune. Mr. Dodge, on presenting his credeniials, spoke as follows: Madam : At the moment of presenting the let ters of credence which accredit me in the quality of Envoy Extraordinary nnd Minister Plenipoten tiary of the United Slates to your Majesty, I ful fil the orders of the President of the R public in expressing to you the sentiments of friendship and high esteem he entertains for your royal person. The niot sincere desire ol 'he President anil of the American people is to see tightened and consolida ted i lie ancient and amicable relitinns which lor so many years have existed between the govern ment of your M jesty nnd that of the United Stales. For my pari, so long as I shall rill the office with which 1 am honored, an much by duty as from personal inclination, I shall neglect noth ing which may contribute to do nwny with every cause of difficulty between the United S'ates and Spain ; and I will labor with nssiduity and con stnncy toward the development of the interests nnd prosperity of the two nations. AHow me, Madam, to express, in conclusion, the sincere views I entertain for the happiness, and welfure of your roval person and of your fnnnly. The Queen replied : Monsier le Minister: I have heard with much pleasure the expressions of friendship you have addressed to me in the name of the President of the United States, in prespntinp iha letters which accredit you to mens Envoy Ext rnordinnry nnd Minister Plenipotentiary of the Confederntion ; and I am happy to be able to assure you, that you may make it known to the President, that the sen timen's which animate me for his person are not less friendly. I desire as earnestly as the noble American people to behold drawn closer the old and good relations which happily exist between Spain and the United States ; and I doubt not that for your part you will contribute to that result, equally advantageous lor the two nations, by se. eonding the desire, of which my government has given proof, lo put aside all motives of difficulty with the government of the United States. I ive you thanks for the wishes you form my welfare nnd that of my family, you may rest nsured that you will find at my Court the welcome which is due to your highly dishngushed personal qualities. Behavior at Watering; Place. If a traveller were to visit an American water ing place nt the height of the season, we fear that he would conceive a poor idea of our politeness generally. lie would find so many people putting on airs, so many rendering tin mseives absurd with pretensions, so many Pxhibittnc a nv-re vul gar love of display, that be would infallibly be come disgusted, and overlooking the really well bred, would pronounce us all a set of conceited puppies. Foremost nt such places he would find the would-be exelusives, who fancy they are proving their gentility by violating all the ordinary cour tesies and customs of life. To be singular, they think, is to be aristocr itic, and so they stultify themselves by appearing in sun-bonnets at church coming down to dinner in a dishabille, nnd attend ing a hop in a morning costume. Or he would see such persons affecting to be disgusted with everything they eat, i:nd pronouncing excellent accommodations 'absolutely wretched.' Hive peo ple any business nway from home wiih such ri diculous airs ? Watering places are essentially democratic, and have been so considered ever since Beau Nash ruled at Bath. The general comfort demands thnt all should be affable, especially as an acquaintance, formed at such resorts, is under stood, among really well-bred persons, not to in volve an intimacy in town, unless by mutual con sent. Next in prominence are the gossips and tale bearers. These are always busying themselves about o'her people's affairs, retailing small slati ders. winking inuendoes, manufacturing fnls-hood They pry among servants and children, poison the judgment ol their listeners, and sedulously aim nt setting everybody by their ears. Next com' the vulgar pretenders, who, by dint of extravagance and show, hope to be regarded as people of consi deration. Then there are the empty fashionables, who follow slavishly what they fancy the latesf mode, and deride all who differ from them in dress manners, or style of acting. They will laugh cruelly to her face nt nn innocent girl, w ho dances more elaborately than ihey have been taught to, forgetting lhat, a the Court of St. James, their polkas and sehottishes would be considered insuf ferably low. it is the mark of a radically base and vulgar heart to find matter for ridicule in every thing except vice or crim". No class of persons ia r--nil leas wuil bred than t ho: o prctctid- ra to fashion. But the ladies nre not the only offenders. It is a common thing, in going to a watering place, to see men rush into the cars, monopolizing nil the best seats. Or they are seen snatching the choic er viands, nt a steamboat dinner, from under the very eyes ol the ladies for whom they were intend ed. Or they drive recklessly past nay, almost over n irses and children walking on the beicli. Or they keen invalids awake at night, and offend the cars ol ladies, by their bacchanalian shouts and songs. Or they puff their ciar smoke in tie laces ot women. Or they sulfer an unprotected female almost to starve at table, by bribing the i - a y-x a ' lt'iiilnra tr hrinrT ni'nrt; Ihinir In tlin lis Mitis gtrmilndiza guUlJg to lha iafieiM disgust of uJ p,-r,on3 M beastly than th-melves. Peooioa! Peoploat watering places should remember lhat there is no public resort where their foibles are more easily detected, for every one has leisure to observe his neighbor. To be natural, affable and courteous, is, therefore, the only safe plan. Gen erally, when people put on airs, they deceive no body but themselves, and instead of exhibiting their importance, they only betray their silliness and vulgarity. Philailelphia Ledger.

Diversions at SkbabtoPol. .The Semaphore lie Morseitles contains the following anecdote from Sebsstopol : Some dsys ago a party of officers of ihe Rus sian garrison, wishing to avail themselves of a few hours' leisure, sent a band of music to a charm ing villa, surrounded by fine plsntations, at the head of a small bay at the bottom of the harbour. From the French batteries, by the aid of good i-py-gins", we could see a party of elegantly dress ed ladies and their partners gaily dancing on the lawn before the house. The natural politeness of the French towards the faix sex, and their innate love for the amusement in which the officers and their fair friends were engnge-J, mnde them loth to disturb them. Our artillerymen, however, thought thnt it would be just ns well to remind them that a permission from the French for their fete super seded any authorisation from Count Osten Sncken or from the Emperor Alexander himself, and in order to do so a shell was put in a mortar, and aimed with such precision that it fell just in front of ihe house. No o'her was fired, nnd for the re mainder of the day the party enjoyed themselves to the full bent. In ihe evening, however, the chnmpngn began to produce its natural effect, and the music kept up such lapape that no one could sleep. It was necessary to put an end to the dis turbance, and another iron messenger was placed in n mortar, nnd cnreful aim being taken was dropped just in the middle of the grass plot. The warning was enough, as the party fled right and left. No one was hurt, but as they saw clearly thnt we would no lotigpr be annoyed by their noise, the party broke up. High FnniciiE.us.

Not long ago more than one fine lady shaved her head to give it nn 'intellectial appearance,' and ihecustom of comb ing the hair back from the forehead probably or iginated in the same mis'ak''ii ambition. When it is considered that a great expanse of forehead gives a bold, masculine look thnt from front (forehead) comes the word 'tiffroiitery' it wilt not be wondered at the uncient painters, sculptors and poets considered n low forehead 'a chnrming thing in woman, and indeed indispensable to fo male bentify. Horace praises Lvcorias for her low forchrnd, (tenuis frons.) and Martial commend tho sama grace ns decidedly ns he praises the arched eyebrow- The ariis's in atone nnd pigments know very well that modesty and .gentleness-could not. be made to consists wi'h tall heads cr extremely broid ones ; and accordingly without a single no'able exception, their women unless mnuo on purpose to represent shrews and-ihe coarser class Cyprians have low forehead..
