POLITICAL. SPEECn OP HON. J ERE. CLEMMEXS. W commend tb following extract from a speech of the Hon. J ere. Clcmmens, delivered st tb Blue Spring, near Decatur, Ala., oo tha 28th alt., to tba careful eoniidwration of the reader. Mr. Clemnien was member of the d mocratio part, ontil its wide departure from aocieul principles drove him ioto another organ! satioo. lie i now on th American ticket as a Candidal fur elector of tha Stole, of Alabama, tod is bringing all bis great faculties to bear in lb cans of truth, prtriotisnt, and the blood bought institution banded down to n by th fathers uf th Republic : Read sod ponder en what he says : The next proposition to which I shall di rect your altenfion is the following : "That the question connected with the Forwgn polity of ttie-couutry ia inferior to iMtduruft.ici.aet ion whaiei. -Ti tim ha con re lor ihe citizens o' the Uuiied Stales to declare themselves in favour of free teas, aud progressive I fee trade through out tbe world. And ! solemn mnnifestii tiotis, to place their moral influence by the side of their succeaslul eikvuiple.". UurNag Nicfit fiietid have a habit of 'covering; up tlirwr meaning by such ahtg- uous words thai it is not nlway ry for a plain man tp tell exactly what they are at. " Free JSeas," is a. very taking expression, but there -ia something more behind than ineels life e,ye- It was -intended to cover a war with Denmark on Account of the eouml ilyt-t which that Kingdom bus collec eii In 'in tall vessels navigating ihe Baltic ibr a ieriod ilhl.ng back beyoud the discovery of America. Our commerce there is trifling and ihe money collected there Irom our ship owners insignificant. Washington, Jefferson, and Madison .eoognized ihe tights of Denmark tomtke the collection, a no se cured it to her by solemn treaties. . Bui Mr. 1'ierce, more jealous vi the Nation's riliU than tbey", suddenly discovered that it was not consistent with tbe National honor to nay this, paltry lax, when. England, t'rauce, Kussia and all Eurtpe hail paid it, before our nation bad an existence, and pay it yet without a murmur, and when moreover, six' months wur would cost us more tbuu would be collected from us in a century: may do Mr. 1'ierce injustice, but I think I can account lor Urn sudden importance these Sound dues have assumed. lie has keen proper to indulge in a good deal of blustering on the occasiou of' a Spanish vessel tiring into the Black War rior. An .uusophistocated person would have supposed tbat he intended to land an army on tbe island in six weeks at t'arihet, but unfortunately, the fleets of France and England were t idang in thoe seas, and it wns pretty well uudersiood that a blow st Cuba would be met by a blow from tbe three powers combined. 'Mr. Fierce cour age wus not equal to such: a trial. He hes itated, vacciiluied, until bis minister resign ed in d.sgust, and lbe'Secretary o. legation .lien patched up a compromise. Mr. Fierce find backed square out. It was mortifying and he knew it ; so, like the Idler that was, whipped at a muster aud swore " he'd be d d if he'd sty wliipt, but w ould go right home and whip Ssaily." Mr.- Fierce defer niiued not to stay backed out. He would nut tight .England and France, but hud re solved to pitch into littl lJenmark.. 5So long as the thing was iu his bands alone, however, 1 had no great apprehension of a rupture. thought be would find some Wi.y of getting out of it, and sure enough he,di(i. VVbeu the time speciiied in tbe treaty had fexpired, instead of carrying out his war-like threats, he issued a circular to the American Merchantmen, to pay their dues but t pay (hern under protest. STa protest wa substituted ibrjt war.and there the ridiculous farce ought to have ended, Out the Deuiw it up, aud w hat was a fares may soon be a LOAxly tragedy. To do them justice tbey mean what thejr say uHn tbe subject ol Unhung, 'lbey-lacki jieilber -the courage ur tha will to do battle with the Devil Himself, if it should strike their lancy to get poasesaion of hia kingdom. How tar it be come peaceful citizens who delight not in ii nt ts ilrrjr. bloodshed, whose trnde, sericulture And commerce must sutler grievously in case of a loreign war, to link inenmeivrs with a party so reckless .and f ready to quarrel with any body and on any pretext a nueslion Vou must settle lur vouru-lvf-a I For one we choose to follow quiet pntLs. All history teaches that rationul liberty can only be enjoyed far a. way Irom the din ol arms, aoo it is not tne least ol my otijecltoni tc the anti-Arfierictn party that they seem to fake a savage delight in every prostiect ol a d.iticuiiy with other nations. This resolution shadows lorth an other principle more oppressive to the poor man, and more blighting to the posterity of the country than all the loreign wars to which ;t' threatens to plunge us. .They are not .if. 'v; 111 HiVoC" l. -Uli - , l,jf "Ji tiW throughout the world." , Free trddt U lkoyoo know what that means? It means that instead of supporting the Government bf duties on imports,!! duties shall be abol ished and tha money dragged by taxation airectiy irom tne poekeis ol l ne people. Let us see how such a system would work. '1 here are in tbe United Slates about twen ty-five million of inhabitants. Our expen ses have been swelled, as I have told you, to seventy five millions of dollars. Equal taxation therefore upon free trade princi ple would take from you yearly three dol lars for yourself, three dollars for your wile. three dollars Tor each of Jour children. and vine dollars for every five of your ne groc. Add up these sum, and you will have some idea of the paternal care Ihe Democracy propose to take off your pock ets. ,Ve in' Alabama have bad some experi ence of direct taxation. There are a lew rf you who do not now feel that the taxes you pay are a very serious burden. The Cincinnati Con vention held a different opin ion, and in addition to what you already pay, propose to tax you with your propor tion of seventy-five . millions of dollars, to be squandered on works vf internal im provement, which will do no good given away to steam ship companies, or wasted in extravagant salaries paid to public officers who are feasting ou French dishes, and drinking champaign and Burgundy, while you are restricted to corn bread, butter milk and middling meat. -'- Uiider Our present system, you pay no axe to th support of the general govern ment but what you choose. The luxuries of the rich are taxed tbe. necessaries of the poor are exempt. The party now ask ing you to supiKot James Buchanan pro-. pone to abandon this system, and resort to a mode of taxation which favors the rich a.n,d ppprexsea the iour which wring Irom you jour hard , earnings to least Uie lazy drones about Washington. Can such men be ttie friends of the peo ple f Are tbey entitled to the name they have arrogantly assumed ?

The last one ofthe series is equivalent tu a general declaration of war against the civilized world : " That the Democratic party will expect from the next Administration every proper effort to be made' to insure our ascendancy iu the Gulf of Mexico, and maintain a per manent protection of the great outlets thiouhh which ure emptied into its waters the products raised on the soil, and the com modities created by the industry of the people of our VVeslcru valleys and tbe Union, at large- Some of you are in debt, many of you i own .sp-rr-aUo,st uti oi you .lypeiia lor yoyr income on agricultural productions.

So it has ever been aud ever will be, and the policy cratio party not only leads certainly to pres ent misery and suffering, but just as cer tainly to eventual alavery anq degradation. This is the end of the Democratic pjau form, as published in tbe Huntsvilla "Dem ocrat It is headed " Democratic riatloi in in full." j And so it ia beaded in another Southern papers ; but that is not the truth: TEIK8; TWO BOI.UB8 IK 1DT4KT KJoIeHo-llO. There is something more which I don't wonder at their trying to hide from their readers. At the samo time this platform was reported, another resolution accompan ied it.. That resolution reads thus : " Tbat tbe Democratic party reeogwze the great importance, in political aud com mercial point of view, of a safe and speedy communication, .by military and postal rvads, through our own territory, between the Atlantic and Paoific coasts of this Un ion, aod that it is the duty of the Federal Government to exerciaef promptly all it constitutional power for tbe attainment of that object The resolution was l iid opon the table by a Tote of 133 to 120. Ji ought t reai l"J5t to It J, because three f the : Alabama '. aWi-Kte. w'- -efti-ted" to '-v .,' for a ro-J tt " th Pacific Were" Overrnllrd be- ihir .,J leagues, and prevented from doing so. When the resolution was laid upon the table, Mr. Inge, of California, nominated (Jen. Cass, and voted for him . until Buch anan's nomination was no longer a matter of doubt lie then made a speech, an ex tract from which I will now read : And now, sir, so far as Mr. Buchanan i concerned, w e have a high aDDreciatioa of bis eminent qualities as a patriot and .talesman. W e acquiesce in bis nomination notwithstanding the course of the Pennsyl vania delegation in voting against the Dro- positiou in reference to an overland com munication with- California, which was presented to the Convention. - if btheoe he dot not agret what that delegation hat done I" But tbe private assurances which satisfi ed Mr. Inge did not satisfy Missouri, and Mr. Shields offered the following resolu- tion: That it is tbe duty of tbe Federal Gov ernment to construct ai far as it ha con stitutional power o to do a safe overland communication with our own territory be tween the Atlantic and Pacific State. .Mr. Sautiders, of Wisconsin offered a. substitute "" '. r ' " That the Democratic party recognizes the great importance, in a political arid commercial point of view, of a speedy . communication through our owu territory between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of ihe Union, and it is the duly of the Federal -1 Government to exercise all its constitution al power for the attainment of that object thereby binding the union of these State in indissoluble bonds, and opening to tbe rich commerce f Asia and overland transit from the Pacific to the Mississippi River and great Lakes of the North-" " Tlfe chief d.tfereoce between'tbis substi tute and tbe resolution first reported is that it has more unmeaning words in it and .therefore, conies nearer to the standard of S;ig -icht taste. The substitute Vas ad opted by a vote of 205 to 87 the Alabama delegates reversing their former position and votitii; with the majority. And thus this wild scheme of building a Railroad i j the Pacific, over loftly moun tains and impassable snows, at an expense of hundreds of millions, wa recognized as a cardinal principle of the Democratic creed. No wonder they were ashamed of their work!"' No wonder when they pub lish w hat they call their w hole platform, ihey leave out this ruinous resolution. But it is not out in Missouri and California. There w here it is supposed it will belp Bu chanan, it is dwelt upon with intense de light. And this is the party calling -iuelf national I This is the party who profess to ileal always fairly and openly with tbe people! This is the party who claim to be governed by one set of principle North and South, East and West! Let me examine a little in what this claim to national unity consists, i win oegm with Arkansas and Alabama. Both bae alwav been Demo cratic Stales. Both have always had De mocratic Senators; aniTvet .for years .they . . ha ve voted diieetly against each other upon- . every question of Internal Improvements. 'Mr. Sebastian, and "Mr7 Johnson, would be very indignant if any one denied their right to je cuiied Democrats. Mr. Fitzpatrick atd, Mr. Clay, would alike resent any at tempt to lessen their claim in that regard; yet the first declare that the improvement of Rivers and Harbors is an imperitivediity, w hile the last denouuee it as a flagrant vio lation of the Constitution. Mr. Butler says that the right of a State to secede from the Union isclearand unquestionable.-Mr,'-"--Toucoy declares that - secession is a folly , atid'an absurdity. Mr. Dodge, of Wiscon-. sin, holds that Congress has the power to abolish slavery n -LbeTerritWres Mr; Toombs denounces it as a wrong for whicU disunion is the appropriate remedy. Mr. B rod he ad demands a high tariff for the pro- . Wetwii. of Pennsylvania Hricrestav.-' Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, indignantly resists the incorporation ot any such principle in the Democratic creed. The '-Washington Union elamed that the Buffalo platform men were sound Democrats, and the Cin cmuuti .Convention endorses' the claim. The W ashington Sentinel denounced them as traitors, but still its Editor participated in the deliberations of a Convention of which tbey constituted a part. Gen. Cass bases true Democracy upon Squatter Sov ereignty. His Southern coadjutors in many localities repudiate tbe principle and deny tbe orthodoxy ot the teacher. Mr. Dodge, of Ohio, proposes to nifcke grants of land to unnaturalized Foreigners. Mr. Mason, of Virginia, and Mr. Clay, cf Alabama, con demn the policy, and warn nim against tho consequences. iur. fouglas proclaims that SlideU lauds it as a great measure of Jus tice to the Soufh. Mr. Piercn says that opposition to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is anti-llemocratic-Mr. Buch anan iu his London letter, say that no Democrat ought to be cehsured for any -pi won be may have held on that subiect.
