Standing here, we looked bnok upon the College which we had just passed, where manhood's training commences, and along the broad road over which we ha.l just flown with such rapid speed, leading direct ly to this closing scene of earth's career, ami felt the striking similarity to the map of life. From this cemetery, wc drove on to old Laurel Hill, which being also laid off with driving roads, we passed through. At the entrance, wo were greeted by old Mortality and Sir Walter Scott, in statua ry ; tho one exhibiting a picture of the plodding gate and tho burden of life, and the jocose face of tho other, showing that "dull earn" found no boon companion there.

Among mco relations wuu me I American people, the question wbich was most interesting at the moment was that ol 1 the Black Warrior, for, although it has been i said by those who are in opposition to the government that this affair w as already lor ; gotten, they arc much mistaken. I At that time the government of the Uni ted States was represented in Madrid by a person who took good care that this ques tion should not be forgotten ; who not only renewed it very often, but who gave it all the characteristic of a question of nation al honor, or a question of independence, insinuating in a manner not to be misunder stood that the end might be a misunder standing; one of the nio-t setious misun- ' dcrstandings that can exist between two na- -'IM"'""r rraiai r"-.- m ti lions, and be making the rupture nln.ott ne cessary, or lualiing it Appear iicro.sary, be cause it was not om; of tlio.-u which pn sen ted an acet-ptablu solution.

Of the Whig and Democratic partic, now in tho " senr and yellnw leaf," it is not . necessary that 1 should say anything more i than that jou have very briefly, but cor ! rctly, wriiten their history. With varjing ; success, they have been the rulers of our I destiny, and each has fuiled in securing fur us the peace a;id traiupiility we have so : much desired. In boih, corruption lias. ; done its work. They have "sown the l wind," nnd arc now reaping the fruits of I that sowing, tu their own everlasting rum. "ens ter s conservatism has lenrliiny shalicii "beneath the intolerant fanaticism of a .Seward," but it is not de-troyed. Tho Whig party is beyond recovery, hut Web ster's principles are immortal.. The Demo cratic party has been utterly broken up by s'solition. Its nationality is gone, its plat form destroyed. With President Pierre, its la't pin will be knocked from under it, and , " like the basrless fibrie of a vision, it will leave not a wreck behind." All hopes of national organization on tl." basis of titber Whig or Democratic principles being fu tile, it becomes us .".II to inquire, if npnn their ruin there may not be built up a truly fmtioHul pnrty, conservative, patriotic. American ? Does such a party exist '. You have answered for me, aud 1 quote your language i " Such was the state of the old pirties, when, about a year ago, the Know-Nothing order first made its mark on the politics of tliu uniihlrff T nr.-rnr.il. tl... nl.l nrM..j efflu'alli t'nXUn' h reposed t0 bury the old issues which had divided the North and the South, and to erect upon their grave, a grand, comprehensive, national idea, which would override all sectional differences, and give peace and seeuiity to the L uion. Sick a- men were of the old parties, disgu-ted with their vain expedients, and lured by its peculiar principles, the new party gather ed to its folds many adherents." There does exist, then, " a new party" the Know-Nothing Order; and I rejoice that you recognize its existence. You care not to question the antagonism which this party assumes to exist between tLe native and foreign born. You are w iiliug to ac cept it as a fact, a.rl j fact if is. " Yet," you ask, "what do we see?'' " It" (the new parly.) " excludes the foreign element, because it is supposed to be radical, dis turbing, and antagoni-tic to a stable na tionality, and aerts tint the native-born arc the only true friends of order, couser vaiisnt, and the l uion." I thiuk you are mistaken hero, for I have nowhere seen the assertion made, that luitivitii alone makes a man a true friend of order, conservatism, ami the L nion. Cause and effect are not always relative, nor dor it uniformly fol low that because a man is born upon our soil be cannot be a traitor. There are Aiiericans in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, and their tongues should blister in their mouths lor the words they utt-r tliere. American demagogues are as bad a foreign intriguers, and Uod help the I'uion if its salvation is in their keeping. Again, you say, " The elections of the North came on, and everywhere the fusion bet'.vc.n tho abolitionists and the new order carried the ds.v." Is this a fact, that the "'low--,"lllllg "ucress ins oiuy neeo acuicT- I- S-.I-. . I .!! cd by their alliance w ith r reesoilers . is it a fact, that the great American Party can only triumph by an affiliation with America!) traitors? Is it a fact, that the uew order has incorporated among its prin ciples one word about slavery or free-soil ? Is it a fact, that they, too, as a party, " spit upou the Constitution, and ignore the coin- P'ut c",t'rt'' the Fathers of the Re- PU0,icV Nl ' ,s . No York speniis in tones not t i tie mistaken, anu sue will stick to her text through good and evil report ; the " Constitution and the l uion, now and farcver, one and inseparable.'' I speak of the ne party as a national or ganization, and in this view, I fe. assured they will neither touch, not g'.ve ' aid and comfort " to the "slavery question." They ' are willing to let ii alone, j B it you p::.nt me to Massachusetts, In i whose Legislature the Kiow-Nothitigs were, ' as you truly assert, " omuipoteut," and you tell me that in a few short weeks, that " legislature has given to the world a re cord of f.i'n'ieism, disgusting rowdyism, and shame, which the most degenerate pos terity will blush to peruse." I admit it to be true. But there is even in tli.it Stato 1 some intelligence left, some patriotism, some I genuine American feeling. The meeting of the citizens of ISisUn on the evening uf the "1st.., was a very large and enthusiastic one, and they ps-ed, among others, this Resolution : iV.t.irc,, That the Legislature ?t 1S.15, stauds without a parallel in its sbdr.e.
