In the fir.-t i jdace, with retard to the assertion "secret, i midnight, political society," I deny that 'the American 1 arty is a secret Koeiety , now, if it ever has been. .Secret, as you all know, means hidden, concealed. Were not I the twelve fun l.imontttl principles of. tho American Party, published in the American jOrjjun, so plain that he who runs ndht read, shortly after the formation of the Par ty? And do not the principle!) advocated, i in the American Platform conform essen , lially to the twelve fundamental principle? , lint I contend t hat the A mericaii Party is i not " a secret society," beeaii'C the Nitiumil 'Council declares that " all the principles of ', the Order shall be openly avowe.d ; and that each member shall be at liberty to make , known the i-tenee of the Order, and the fact tlr t lie him-elf is a member, and it re commends that there be no concealment of the places of meeting of subordinate coun cils." . Let us admit, tor the sake of argu ment, that the American Parly as, nt. i' ' ii.eepiiou, " a secret society." 1'oes net tho pa-t hi-tory of our lli-public prov that du ring the try ills emeru'eneii's of the llevolu , tion, when the goo 1 oid sltip of Slate was to-sed ahuut until the had vvi-II nigh strand ed, scent iiifdii'rfs', or " hoeii tie," if you prefer the expression, were frcipientiy hel I where iae-tMiis were (li-coi'sed comiectiol villi the welfare of the c .un'ry ; for exam ple, Congress often held its scs-ions with closed tloois; c tiiimaiiding generals often c instilled one another about mailer which t li-y never divulged to the army, (ieneral Wa-hin.:! hi received wh it was tailed s, cret service iicmev, with regard to tiie expendi ture ot which he was never ejpeeied to ne c . n.t.

An 1 yet, in this our time of ejlieine emergency, members of the for eign and llemocratic Party express a holy b irr.tr at the idi that native Amerieatis should ncca-iona'dy meet and consult to jjether f.r t'tt; g-tod of their comuion eouu try. How truly have w fail, n upon evil tunes'! when I'euiocrnts combined with Se e"s.si )iiist s. l'or.'i.'uers, Aboliti nii-l-, i'-imati f'atle.lics and (.ierinaii Suiali-ts, thus covn posin what may truly be called the hot ein Parly, advocating the nuti-republieaii doctrine, that to " the victors be,n-j the sp .iis.'' In sui-h a stale of things as this, ilo'-s it not become every patriot t use bis most : l ri'tiun us exertions to prevent the State from receiving any injury ! 1! it 1 said this is a time of extreme emer'"ney. Ti be c oi vine.'l of this, no have the etartling fact pre-lit. -il to our view that th aino il tit of annual esp- ti. lit, ires of Pierce's administra tion, ill a time of profound peace, is fTo, ll'liniult. t)f the danger t be apprehend ed from the influence of llomaii Catholics we mu-t be convinced, when we reflect that the number of members of thi' church exceed- that of any of the l'r .tcstai.t church es ; and that, of the .itw.iiini f '. r . i g 1 1 immi grants who annually lati 1 on our shores, :i.Hl,llii(l tire lb-man Catholics: if, th' rotor-, the pre-ent rate of icreasp con'icucs, in 1,1 years the number '( the uiemlu-s of the lloin-iti !tiio!ie (.'(lurch wiil exceed tint of all the Prifcsl.ii,;-t,.ether. ll it the asser tion that the mcnean Party is a " mid night society," is refuted by the fad that the members meet at. twilight; and the place w In re they met t is, or may be known by ail. The reason w by they meet nt this hour is, ' because a bug" maj nity of them aro me chanics nnd pl.-ititcr-, who, by their labor, earn their daily bread, and then lore have not I line to ns-emble together ill daylight ; if they w.-ro "gentlemen at large,"' without any employment, the ca-e might be ditf-r-ient. According to the adverti-dneiit. the American Patty is "the seil'st bd Ameri j can Party." 'I o this 1 answer, that it is a general rule, to which the IVmoeratic Party is the only exception, that principles give names to the parties; ; the principles, there fore, advocated by the members of the A ineriean Party, have given it its iiauie; tin y ' are the only principles which were advoca ted by Washington, Madison, Monroe, and I by Jack-on until bis administration camo 1 under the malign influence of Martin Van 1 l!urcn. The same principles were signally triumphant in tho clc. ti.m of (Ictierals Har rison and Taylor to the 1 'resiliency. But I said that the Pemoeratic Party is the only exception t ) the general rule ; and if so, it therefore follows that it. is emphatically the ".self-styled Party."' Now-, for the proof of this statement. It is easy to show that no such firui of government has ever existed ; and that, if Penncracy should be attempt ed it would be, to say the least, utterly im practicable. The '' fierce Democracy of ('recce " endeavored to introduce it, but en tirely fail"!. For b t us enquire into the meaning of the word Peinocniey : it sigui i lies that govcrnm. lit in whieli the people, " t il f.iasss," make and subscribe to the laws. Now, would it be j. moth-abb' for ice'innics, and planters, and mereha.tis to have their I avocations, ami spend ciiiht month annual ly nt Washington m iking laws Yon will 'readily see the absurdity of this course of i conduct, ''iirs is a ucpuhliean (iovern- tnent, in which the people transact their I politie-il business through their heprcsenta lives in I'ongrcss asscinliled. lu tne last tilaec. tho adveitiseineiit, ns it states, is signi'd by the people.
