Mr Keid at the commencement ol his remarks in reply, appeared to be deeply eml arfassed by the strangeness and inconsistency o' his present position, which seemed incapable of explanation or successful defence as well as tot-lly irrecon cilable with his own previous decls rations and avowals. J'.y way of reply to M" Winslow's questions, Mr lteiil, with quite a tLiatrical air, tone, and gesture, simply announ ed himself the champion of the great Xativ American party (K.

The following extracts from the two leading K. N. onrans in New Jersey speak for them selves. The Gazette is the State organ of the order the Newark Mercury is the paper through which John Minor Botts, a Virginian, thought proper to give to the world his Know Nothing manifesto: From the Jeiv Jersey State Gazette. The great American movement of t he day, as it steadily advanced in power from a sympa thy inseparable from all that is patriotic ami virtuous, encountered in its career the black stain of domestic slavery, with the dogma that slavery is national, and freedom sectional. But it will be found no stumbling block in its way. The. American party, like the Whigs of old, icifl maintain the principle, of liberty at least. They cannot shut their eyes to the existence of the mon strous enormity of throwing open to slavery new territories long since consecrated to freedom by a compact so solemn, that its repudiation must stag ger all faith in all future compromises. They cannot refuse to protest, to act, and to cote against the further increase of slave Slates. The Ameri can party of JYew Jersey are clear and decided on this point. While they plant themselves upon the Constitution, couceding to slavery the ground it now occupies, and refusing to inter fere with it as a local institution, they lift up their hands, in protestations of its being carried into new territories, to be hereafter admitted into the eonfedcracy as slave Stales. The complexion of the next Congress points to this conclusion beyond a doubt. The friends of Americanism and freedom have an hundred and sixteen members in the House already, marked by a distinctive characteristic an abhor ranee of the Nebraska infamy. There is not a man of l tfrr MiWm tA.i pc&tt'llubr virtue 'tC(7S TtOC tUftis- pensable for his election. No matter how loose ly their other principles sat upon them, upon this question the people were unanimous. It mas everywhere the test, and almost everywhere the triumph. That victory, on behalf of freedom, is a victory of the American party; and when that party shall elect to abandon the fruits of the conquest and bow down like the Demo cracy, to the black idol of an extension of the dominion of slavery, the party will die aud dis appear, with an odium on the name for which all atonement will be futile. From the JVewark Mercury. This is the language of our New Jeresy press in reference to the connection of the American movement with the slavery question, and it faithfully represents the public sentiment of the State. Were the American party to attempt the task of quieting or destroying the Anti Nebraska seutiment of the North, it would be broken into fragments by the power of a pub lic opinion, which nothing could withstand. For ourselves, were we convinced that its ac tion in New Jersey tended in a pro-slavery di rection, or towards any further compromise trith this evil, we should not hesitate for a moment in abandoning all connection with the organ ization. Jtt3TBut we know that this is not the case. We know that there are no truer op ponents of the slave oligarchy than those who march forward to certain victory under the banner of the American party in New Jersey. We know that no other public men than those known for their devotion to human freedom could be elected as our representatives to Con gress, and we feel confident that when the Senators are to be chosen this consideration will also be regarded as of primary importance. There is no sickly conservatism in New Jer sey now.a The people understands that slavery is aggressive and they are prepared to meet it. From the Philadelphia JVew Church Herald. The Skcoxd Coming of the Lokh. It may sound strange to some of our readers to be re minded that some of the most eminent Doctors of the Old Dispensation are still maintaining that the day of the Lord's literal personal ap pearance is rapidly approaching. AVe see it mentioned that Dr. Cunimiug, an eloquent Scotch preacher, and a popular theological writer, has published a work on the "Signs of the Times," in which he affiliates very closely with the views of the Millerites. His theory is that Christ will come in 1864 that the advent will be what is termed pre miliennial, or, in other words, that Christ will come before the milleniuui, 'and the millennial glories will consist of Christ's personal reign on earth for a thousand years that the Jews will be literally gathered to Jerusalem to ,be con verted that the Moslem power is about to ex pire, not by destruction of the Turks, but by their conversion and absorption into the Church that Popery will be destroyed by Christ's coming, and uot before it. Strange as their visionary phantasies may sound .to one whose mind has beeeu even in the least degree opened to the reception of the onaUsL thejiew dispensation, yet such the pulpit and the press, and not simply by the "deluded Millerites," but by men who are, highly esteemed for their learning and eloquence. Dr. Tying, formerly of this city, now of New York, has, within the last few years, publicly and earnestlj' advocated a doctrine identical in its main features with the one referred to above. Several of the Episcopal bishops held and teach the same doctrine.

Immense cheering, hisses and groans. By that voice, continued Mr Wise, was "Sam" conquered in the Old Dominion. I was told by my friends, I now tell yon. Great con fusion.

For the last few days, the Charleston (S. C.) Standard has been publishing a series of articles entitled "The Value of the Union to the South," the tenor of which may be judged from the following paragraphs, introductory to articles on two occasions : "In our issues of the last few davs we have taken occasion to consider whether the material condition of the South would be injured or ad vanced by a dissolution of the Union, and whether there would be any especial peril iu such a cou'sumatiou. In reference to this last question, we endeavored to show that from the North, at least, we Have little cause of appre hension; that they would not be inclined to trouble us in view of the inquiries they would themselves sustain ; that if inclined to incite the slave to insurrection, they would have no means of addressing him; aud that, if it were attempt ed to war upon us, instead of an explosive social mixture, they would find a social organiza tion peculiarly suited to exhibitions of military strength. In the consideration of this question, to which we have been forced by continued action at the North, we have passed in review the several aspects in which it has been presented. We have shown that the Union is not necessary to the commercial greatness of the South, and that wdiile we furnish the materials of commerce to the whole country, the North has exclusively appropriated its advantages. "We have shown tlifit. it. 1-3 not nnlv nrkt nanicc!irv 1 t riAc?Astri- tion of our domestic institutions, but affordSr4he4 cover under which they are assailed. We have shown that, in a conditiou of isolation, we Will be liable to none of the dangers from external enemies which so much excite the sympathy of our kind and careful neighbors, and that if i resolutely forced by inexorable aggression to an attitude of independence, we will be competent to all the military exigencies of that condition. The following extract, relating to the fugitive slave law, is worthy of attention : In the State of Indiana, a law has been pass ed, that no free negroes shall be allowed to come. To the Legislatures of many of the Northern States, similar resolutions have been offered. In all these are discriminations to the prejudice of the negro; in all is he treated with repugnance and disgust; and it is beyond all question, therefore, that if the negro were allowed to come without the excitement of pursuit and with no effort on the part of his in dividual master to arrest him, and it were only a question as to the amount of compensation which the Northern States, in their sovereign capacity, should be required to render, the coming of the slave would be resisted, all al0M,M- tfrfi 1TW!'-r would 11 an orgauizea ponce 10 turn mm back, ana . we question, therefore, whether a more perfect barrier could be erected to the escape of slaves, than the simple act of the dissolution of this Union. A dispatch from Kansas says in the Leaven worth district the pro-slavery ticket is elected by sixty-one niajoritjr, and pro-slavery men are elected iu every district.

All this you promise and swear (or affirm) upon your honor as American citizens and friends of the American Union, to sustain and abide by without any hesitation or mental reservation whatever.

This degree, it will be observed, imposes an oath upon the member to stand by the Union of the States under any and all circumstances, and to oppose every thing which he "believes" calculated to subvert it or weaken its bonds. This is the substance of the degree. It is one which no Southern man ought at this time to take. The South is the weaker section, and the free States are continually encroaching upon our rights. Massachusetts deliberately nullifies the fugitive-slave law, as Connecticut has done it is every where avowed among the Know Nothing majorities in the free States that no more slaveholding States shall be admitted into the Union; and if such a policy is carried out, the Southern States will be compelled to choose between a prompt and stern resistance to ag- Jfrressiou and submission: and -submission must it is at once me manacieu siave 01 tne ireesou majorities of the Northern States! There is not a word in this degree about the reserved rights of the States no pledge to maintain the fugitive-slave law in its letter and spirit no declaration that the Missouri restriction shall not be agaiu imposed on the South no assur ance that slavery shall not be circumscribed by federal legislation, and thus ultimately starved out and the slaveholding interest utterly de stroyed. It is the old song of Union by force and without regard to Southern rights. Se ivard, Wilson, Hale, Tuck, and the whole bbolition horde were the leading parties in pitching the tune. It is a favorite of theirs. flhey declare that they are the best friends the RJnion has that their scheme of circumscribing ilavery, of abolishing it in the District of Columbia, of repealing the fugitive-slave law, p ml the like, is the very thing to give repose to the 'JJnionand to make it perpetual; and that those Who may resist this scheme will be traitors, liable to be hunted down and punished. We ssert this npon the authority of the speeches of fbesemen, and we defy contradiction. They are for slavery as it exists in the States that is, hey do not propose to disturb it. They are Union men, they say, and those who differ with them are its enemies. This, then, is the nature pf this greatest of Know Nothing humbugs, the f'Union degree." Gov. Gardiner, of Massa chusetts, has taken this third degree so has Minor, the abolition Governor of Connecticut. Gov. Gardiner, it will be seen, declares that "very many of the provisions" of the act of Massachusetts nullifying the fugitive law, "have his hearty approval" he is hostile to the law, aud would be glad to see it utterly inoperative in Massachusetts; but then he cannot approve bi11 S Pa,Pabl unconstitutional. ndard. A Pkompt and Gallant Officer. We have already announced that the United States Trig ate Constitution, Commodore Mayo, was seen to the southward of Cuba, making for the port of Havana. The Constitution was late the flag-ship of the African squadron, and was un der order for home, after an absence of more than two years. When within about three hundred miles of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, (her destined port,) she boarded an American vessel and obtained a file of New York papers, in which it was stated that Commodore Mc Cauley had been despatched to the gulf, in tbe San Jacinto, iu great haste, and that a speedy collision with Spain was inevitable. The res olution of Commodore Mayo, one of the bravest officers that ever walked a deck, was instantly taken. Believing that his services might be needed, orders were immediately given to "bout ship," and soon old Ironsides was hastening to the aid of McCauley's little squadron.

Cook coun ty, and other places north and west of here. On Tuesday afternoon a revolving funnel shaped cloud passed swiftly aloug near the ground abogt sixteen miles north of here, car rying np large sticks of wood, stones, &c. It described a semi-circle towards the southeast, aud twisting off large trees and whisking them out of sight instantly. The whirlwind then broke in two and disappeared, but almost im mediately formed again, and passed directly back north and west with, redoubled violence. It struck a heavy frame house one mile from the Illinois and Wisconsin railroad, tearing the roof instantly off, and immediately afterwards taking the whole house instantly up the spout with all its contents. Nine persons iu the house were drawn up and hurled down in dif ferent places. Four of them were instantly killed, and others mutilated beyond any pros pect of recovery. The whirlwind then passed over a post-aud-rail fence, leaving not the slightest vestige of it. It next took up a bam and threw it upon the horses and cattle it con tained, crushing them at once. The timbers of the house and barn were hurled down to the ground with such violence as to bury them al most out of sight. The house belonged to Mr Page, whose wife, son, and two grandchildren were killed. Additional intelligence from the locality more than confirms the above. Accounts are given of persons being carried up oue hundred feet in the air and then hurled dunn with great violence. A number of eye-witnesses haye testified to the ravages of the tempest, and describe it as most terrific. Tekribi.e Tn under Storm Sad Results. The South Bend (la.) Register of the 17th says the most violent storm of the season spent its whole fury on our town last Tuesday eve ning, and while it has left many proofs of its destructive power, it has filled oue house with mourning. One bolt struck Mr Leonard Haiti's house on Pearl Street, killing two of his children in stantly. The whole family were in the front room at the time. William Haiti, aged 13, was at the window on the side where the light ning struck, and Charles Ilaiu, aged 1, was lying on the floor near him. Both were ii -stantly killed. Ijutheria, aged 8, was between William and her mother, was struck on her hip, burnt down to her feet, and one of her shoes torn off her foot, shivered into ribbons. She is severely injured, but it is hoped will recover. Mr Ilains' niece, Miss Pettigrew, was stunned, and is very sore all over to-day (Wednesday) but is not considered dangerous. Mrs. Ilaiu was struck iu one foot which rested on the floor, and what is remarkable is that 15 rears ago she was struck by lightning in her foot iu a different part of the town. Sarah Hain was iu the room but not injured. Mr Haiti himself was just outside the room aud was stunned and blinded. Another bolt struck a house at the North end of Michigan street, belonging to Anthony Defees and occupied by Mr Spain. It did no serious damage how ever. At Lowell another bolt entered one window of a house and went out at the other but hurt no one. Another bolt stunned and struck down a horse near the railroad. And another burnt the forehead of Mr 'Stokes, Sr., who was in the street at the time, but did him no other injury.
