I thall Hot bar ao opportunity of eeing you noon, and therefore, I &Jopt tub method of eommunicatlon. . I am prompted to t at Jhif jiute, because the country is in peril, and its patriotism need to be aroused, and by the further consideration that my colleague. Mr. Clingman, lias written letter which i calculated, although not intended, to mislead, and which, from the position and repu tation of the aotbor, ia likely I have wide cir culation, . I doairc, in the first place, to gire you such In formation a I have in regard to the condition of the country, it danger, and the cause. And, in the next place, to euggert the remedy. Our country ia of tart extent; ef erery variety -of elimnte, nil, production, population, and in tercets, and, withal, is an experiment ill govern mont; several independent sorereigntie united in one one 6 muxmj and yet each retaining it gfifcrcignty many in one. That there hoald be perplexities and aiifieultie i to be expected, ea pecially when ttie simplest form of government aro not exempt from, them. That there should be excitement Slid dispute Is too natural to snr prise us; but that beyond this, tbere should be actual violence and danger, ough t to arouse erery man, who is capable of appreciating the beauty and excellence of our government, and it exam ple to the i world, rn F of 'm n ining the eh-. and distraction of its failure, or the evil oi it overthrow. If any indiffcrence'doe or can exist; it must be because we hnr enjoyed the choicest blessings o Ions, la To ,. uppe4'uTstiniruihcd friend, to the view I eu;ortniii,a that there ean be no end to lliemptwd aTcTto failed lo remember the fesson. that eternal viei lane is the priot of them. I do not desire to lie an ai'irutitt, but it i my duty to occupy th position uf a wh itman, and to cry danger while it is yet in the distance.' I think there is danger tow. The best informed think u. Mr. Cliug mn, in his 1st letter, : ' "That the ultimate destiny of our present po litical system will be determined by event soon to occur, i most probable." I am sorry to ba obliged to 'agree with him; but I desire to eucourage th bone, that the (torin which threaten to uproot, will only itcadj and xaakt us the firmer. Th causes of this nnsettled condition, are sev eral; but thatlwhiohaeem to lie prominent now, i theoonlrovnrxr in reg.vrd to ilnrorr. in thesame.l lot ter, Mr. Clingman says: "Tb danger which now menace the exintence of the Federal Union, arisci from leeling of hos tility ontertfiiiied in titer North towards the Uuuibera section .and csiieciaU the institution of negro alarery a it exist among us." I hare now stated the dungcr, and I haro sta ted one, at least, if not the main cnut. And now, my follow citizens, why should the controversy bet wren you and th North, upon that subject, threaten the destruction of tin L ni'ju? 1'hnt th North sliould be opposed to lv very, almost to a man, and that ynu should )e in favor of it, almost to a man, is just what both aide expect, and is in fact, jut what exist, lint LecauM ynu cannot think alike, is that any rea son why you sliould destroy I ho govornmcutt Y"0 alwityt have diffi-red almut it, u I you have differed about other matter; but you have alway aettlcd them. In 1 84), Missouri ke. to be admitted, at a Ftale, Into the t'nion. lint eunstitution allowed of slavery. The North objected to bcr coming in, and lliers was a very dangerous xciiemeut about it. At length it wa eou promised, in this way: it was agreed that Missouri should eoma In as a alar Stale, and that all the balance of the territory ws had, should be divided by a line ; right through it, and that all north of that line sliould be tree. Afir thi compromise, the pub lic mind rested quietly. And for thi I bate th high author! y of ill. t'linfman, who, in bia letter, yc "The anti slayer feeling gradually subsided there, I at lb North,! and the country remained quiet until a new iutluone wai brought to bear a it." Here, then, ynu see, we bad mir quarrel, and WOeompromised it, and divided out the whole nf our territory, and the country was quiet, llow snuch H U to I regretted that h could not re main quiet! How moeh it ia to be regietted that any influence should be brought to bear, and disturb tb nation' nuirtl llut it ha been said that, "The long, Icia Uixard will iuar tba Um' at." s - And w It U that (omathing hat Lean brought H hear to break up th "rest" of the peoidel h that influence what h may, It is an uoballow ed one, and deserve the people' eensaro, Mr. Clingiuaa taU that inlluene a (dluwat ")rsnt llrilain bad aooiirsd, by th fore of her arms and skill in diplomacy, possessions In Asia, lint Knst Indian provinces alna w-ititain.

I muat not only stand unsupported by, hut must tand v gniiitiiiiu. Indeed, o ttrange ia hi remedy, that I fear some one will doubt whetliar ha un derstands th cause. It can only bt explained upon (He old adage, that "the hair f the animal that bite will cure the wound. But there i a phihnmphv whioh teaches that long experience in political life, why it famishes much mforraa tion, elutid the judgment with a thousand phan tasies of th intenwt of elf and party; and which teaches further, that what we Jiavo boeu accus tomed to consider very bail, and, upon inspection dud out not to be to U na we supposed, may really not be equal to what it .appear in ita aV light. It in ereditable to our nature that, when our hale i tiirned-to love, eiu of our injus tice mako uslore bio muob. And when we have loved an unworthy object, we bate it the worn for the lore we wasted.

Mr. Clingmnn' remedy in this: Join the administration parly aud strike down abolition ism. My remedy is this : Join the American party and strike down foreignistn, which is the mum eaus ef abolitionism. ' i hat twoulijeetiouatn Mr. Clingmnn'a reme dy. The first is, that the administration party is itself an evil, and does not desire to Accomplish what Is proposed. And in the next place it is powerless to du it, von if it desired to do so. And here I remark, that I have no quarrel with lleniocrats, as such. 1 am co-operating, an J am proud to eo-flperntc, with thousand of Ihcin to accomplish a great good. Hut th adminis tration party, its organised, ia a great evil. And tuiih U tb opinion of a great inaiiy of the best Democrats in th land; and sucTThas liesn the opinion id'Mr. Cliniman. .And to establish this fact, I will again avail mvstlf of the assistance of .Mr. Clingman, than which, wnenuver J can nave 1 it, I desire nothing I ettcrklxxause it' will lo so aoccptabe and weighty with those who maintain th contrary. Iu a peech whkh h made in tho 2nth Congro-s, tu be found in the Congressional Clobe, vol. 14, page 113, in speaking of and de nouncing the courts' of that party ia rsgnrd to th 26th rule uf tb House, be enyi as fol low t "Vn it done as compensation to Ikir e'sWi lion allict in tlit Surth, by rhote aid th'u carried the gioat State of New York and l'tnusyliaiiia. and tliorchjr vlevlcd Mt. 1 ol f Again he says: "Sir, It is eotuuion remark, that the mratber of this so-called Democratic party, however they noiy take opite soles on measure of. oliey, never split their votes; but alway rusk com mon struggle on the election day. This is owing to the fact, which I had nerasion to state at the last session, that this party hi held tngnthsr by th eohssir pnwr of public plunder; and, therefore, whenever they ar making a atruggl tnget Into power, It is a part of their general system of tac tics, that each segment uf the party sliould adopt that side of any question that is strongest at home, and Ibefby increase their ciiance of ear rying lb election." "Th only connecting tie being dissolved th party will go to piers. This, sir. Is th rock on which you are destiued to split. Though a politi cal sdisrsary, 1 warn joa of th danger." How kind I Vas vr uch man y shown to sS'h a culprit 1 Aad huw i:quetiouauly true, and dangerously certain, siul have bssa the crimes tioimcniteil.lo bat induced such a kind ly, sympathetic judg to have pa railed thrm in th race of the aorlu, snd to have given them th enduring nouruty of a Cungresionl ra- eofd I . On page 1 IA nf th same, be rays, in aaostaa, that they arrayed in thoif behalf "lb unprinci pled Abolitionists." And that "mcb member i reonired to stand tr bi party at all haiards," (just wont be says now of th American,) "though in doing u b should act in eprsailiou to th best intarvat f th "untry. in turn, th party will aland bw biro, aad protect kirn from lb eooseo.neocesof soy crime, provided it b doli lor th benefit uf tb party." And now, if lb administratioa pny shall 'it idmit thi picture to b true, I beg thtao remember, that if they discredit Mr. Clingmae, bo an will he liev a ord that b thall say against tb Amtrl cans.

Thu spoke, and such wVra the sentiment of my distinguished colleague.in the 28ih Congress, liiit then, as now, while b Mem ty kar bad a clear tdea of the rosue.yet he wa utterly at fault as to th reuitdy. Then be said th Whig party could put down the evils. But, instead of that, the evils put . down ths Whig party. And now be tbiuas the Democratic party ean cure the evila. ! ?' But th truthisr ti,af neither of theold parti twferrwrmatiee-or act wnuia raaoro4 it my tanding alone could cure the evils. Hence the necessity of the Americau party, composed of i both the old panic. j I do not charge the Pern or rata, a such, with Abolitionism; but I do charge the administration, in ita party organisation, of dealing doubly, now as heretofore, and that it has pandered to the Ab olition influence; and I piocec I to offer you tho evidence which has satisfied me. I have already given you the testimony of Mr. Clinginau that eucb vr.ts, tmpieitiona'hly, Jta-polkryvrmie year n,;o. ltcad again the extract l have quoted from hisapeocli. They prove that they had one face N irtli and aiiJtlier South: that they wcro nllied sith Abolitionists, and by unjust means united the f ieign and Catholic, tote. I next offer the testimony of the Union, the or gnn of the party, as follows : "The Kree-soil Democratic leaders tit the North, are a regular portion of the Democratic party, and lienural l'lerce.sf elected, will make no ilit-tim-Uim Iwtween them atd the rest uf the Demo crats in the distrihuti m of ofticial patrotiage, and in the sclm'tiou of agents Cor adininistemig tlte government." (."iee lien. ZulliculTur' speeuh in Congress, Aprils, 1M)0.) I next offer the testiuiorry of Sir. Douglas, the Icnderljof the party ill Congress. It being charged in tho North that the Kiin'stia bill was favorable toslniery, he wrote to the Concord, Now Ilamp shiie, i'atriot, on the Kith of February, 18,') 4,- as follows : "Why do they not state the matter truly, and slate that it o,en. the country tty 'reutom y leaving the people -perfectly free to do a they 4-tleise " Again, in a speech in the Senate, Uih March, l.il, ho said that, if his inciisures had pre vailed, "The whole of tho Territory aciuircd from Meieo would at this moment have been dudica- fmdour wri'cr by a oiistitutiotial provis ion. ' I have given the. toatitnony of Mr. ('lineman as to what it was, airl the promise of the I' nion as tnTwrmt-h wonlrl he if Mr. i'iorra wer elected, nnd id Mr. llouglas as to the purpose gf its meas ures. I will uuw give the course uf the l'resident himself. You will observe tha' I have shown the prom ise of the Union that tlio 'rcfe-aoi!ra should be c ird for. Well, soon after Mr. I'icreo wentiutn office. Mr. Ilnmson, (Collector of the Customs at .New York, nu office of great rcsponsihility ami patronage, was instructed to put a full share of Iren-suilcrs into office, (just as the l.'niou prom ised sliould Ihi done,) but Mr. ltronson refused: And Mr. 1' iorco removed hitn, al'hougl. ho was a Democrat, nnd put Mr. ltedfield in his, place vthownsnn npeti Kree-soiler. I pon that tho I'einoeratic party 'hplit.nnd has remained divided ever since. One side is culled the Hards or Na tional; the ollior. Softs or Kree-siil. Tlie ll.irds aro led by Dickinson, liroiison, and others: the Softs by Van Huron, Uedlield, and other. Now, which of the sides would you supp le the n linin isl , ion favors f tiit- t wili the. ..!. 7'oi( is thu'adiuiiii: tration party in New York. I quote from the National Dcuiocrat, the organ of the llnrdn. In it issue of April 12, l.-oii, sgicakiug of the Softs, it says -. " Fortified by the jmtrminfr of the ijnrrrnmrnt, and atiinulated by the outside' feeling in high quarters, which classoa them as Denioerais, they arenrgauixed for new crusades against the Doin oeratio pun j. That organisation ia the Sofia thetupinrtrrt in thit Mult of tht Atlminiitrntitm; entertaining now the aauio views npon the slave ry question, which they hold iu lK)l, and 1J8." ke. The moid pvper has an article headed " A word in aoaeou to Southern Duioociata " from which I quote as full wi " Th National -Democrat of Now Y'urk re frained from opposing the administration of Mr. fierce, until lo gor support of it would have degraded tham ; until it insisted upon pursuing a line of policy, which, it waa foreseen, would result in building up anew tb t ree-soil party of IMS, Tb Hunt paper quote from Hi.

And, "peaking of the conduct of the (jovemor in ttfi -r, he says-r: : " When you came into this Territory, instead of devoting your energies ii gid faith to the discharge ot y ur otticial duties, aud to preparing the way lor (he introduction of laws adapted to the c. iiolitiou of society, your .whole time was occupied iti trtiii'luleut devices for eiivichin yourself, and for so shnping the legislation of the I country as to secure a preponderance to your I Qwn AlvtlitioH and b'txc oi jxli'y. p Observe, then, that the whole uf tho Governor' tunc was taken up in two things one was, work ing for himelf; th; other working for the Abo litionists.

If this lj true, it tint y lie that the President thought that as I c had made oue free Stain he could unko another ; an I if he succeeded, why the sleepy, trusting South would ii' pmu that it jut happened so; and if he failed, why ho could say to the North tlit lie had given thein two of their ow n men, and one of them a mutter irorAiaoo in that line. Well, 'but has not the President threatened that, if lliey do not keep quiet in Kansas, bo will send the (initel States army Iheie and subdue thenir Ylis, he has : and if you will rs ad hia Kan- sas message, you will nnd that it is si penned that the South will swear that ho ia going to shoot the North, aud tho North that he is going to shoot the South.

In the next place, I say, that the administra tion party cannot core the evil if it would , It baa no strength. Such ha been ita course of policy that it baa lost its power. For this I have : the high authority of Mr. Clingman'. letter. ! Speaking of the party he says: j "While tluis-aetiiig, however, during ,tji lat.i struggleiojo many of iu former friend loft us, that it is conceded that it would have been beaten i been reduced from a majority of two-thinl u". r"ul-:u " which it had in llie last'Congresa, to a minority of one-third in this Congress. Observe fhnher, that Mr. Clingman sav it lost ita atrength bv , t,n,4 in ,1.. siauiiing upio me rignwoi me ooutn. now, it , thnt be so, 1 concede that it ia a powerful reason why tha South should stard by it to a man. llut if it was on account of itsstandnie up to the rinhts 1 ",' th.e S",u'u' llow 1',MI);-'I i' that its Mends in " " "r.o.s in emuii.w, mr. v . says, but for the Whigs it would have been defeated t in nearly every Stale it. the I moil in the South j as well as tlie north, r-uroly lie would not utter such a slander against Southern Democrats as that they forsook the admiuif traiion for standing up to the rights of the South! llut Mr. C. says it will gain its strength hack again. Now, if'it lost its atrenztb by standing uji to the rights of the South. 1 can conceive h.iw 't can regain iis sticnth iuthe South. llut if its Northern friends L lett it tor standing up lo the rt the riisnis ni tun .Ninth, South. can it win hack these fiianils without the rights of the South? deserting But flio in'otiiko lies in supposing that it lost its influence by standing up to the rights of the South. It lost iu influence everywhere, and at the same time, by driving the conservative men from it, by favoring the factions North' and South ; aud ospeeially by its ruthless and low drrvrn proscription" r.f Ttie native eltTiciis of thT country from pho cs ol it list and prulu, and its ' encouragement of the foreign influence, even to j the extent uf going down into the workshops, ' and Lidding the American stand ip-idc-und the I'.nlishuian tako his place. It has-l it influ-j encc, hecaii-e the time has ariived, so plainly ' predicted ted by Mr. Clinoniaii, in the speech from wnlc'i 1 u avn quoted, when the nntivo American pint, so gencmus when fairly dealt with, and so terrible under a sense of injury, should arise and sweep it f rom the country. lint w 'Jl it not regain its strongii by accessions I from other parties? The Whiir. for i'nstu'iice? I.I answer, never: lhere alwayti has lieen. and always will be, a change now aud then from one party to another ; aome from the best, and othero from the worst motives, llut, that the Whig, w ho have been battling the Democratic party upon principle for tw enty years, will over surren der to its party organisation , or. that tho Dem ocrats will ever aurrender to the Whig orgaaita tion, ia ab-urd to suppose. The great mass of both of these parties' were honet. Kach believed that he waa right, and the other wrong. Each believes so still ; and neither can surrender to the other, without a forfeiture, of hia independence and m If rospoct.

I will eaiitruiaite, bull will ncvur smr.udu-. Now, has the Democratic party ever proposed a compromise wijh tho Whigs, and a union upon a common platfnfm, outside the llemocratie or- gsnitatimi, to cure the evils in the country? Never 1 Never 1! Itss.nly terms are, siilimhmm. ow, if there is a whig in this free land, who, whefr"a"-rooi,-oiiiuif. intilnsed, is willing to sue render at it iti ret inn, all I liave to sav is, that hia is not the spirit of hia fathera, and do not envv I him his degeneracy. A very different course is pursued by the American party. I proreed now tu tatf my remedy for flic evils in the land: it is to co-operate with the American party. I do not claim fir it perfection either in it origin, ita practice, or its principles, for it ia human ; but I do claim that it ia thoroughly patriotic. Ita encrecy and ita oaths, which have been so much misunilcrspsl, and eonitreh abused, I am under no iiocneeity Wtjus'ify, because, out if respect "to thoee who thought them objectiona ble, they have been abandoned. Just at (tea.

And who can tell how much harder he crested down with on hand. than be upheld with tho other, even when hoi thought he wa upholding with both? I do not know as to all that ; but thi I do know, that I would as soon bar attempted to day the destruc tion of Babylon, after the prophet had cursed it, as to uphold the Wbi narlv. after Mr. Clinemao had prophesied it. downfall! But if you will not oo-operate with the Americana, who simply Md you of your ruin, how will you co-operate with Mr. Clingman, who caused it! llut Mr. mnginan proceeas to say : " llut aomeof you may feel reluctant after hav ing acted againat the Democratic party ao long to go into a union with it. " I anawer no. W feel no uch reluctance. We are not reluctant to unite with Democrat. On the contrary, we deire it. We havj offered to do ao, and still offer to do so. 'ea, we urge it with earnestness. Mark what I say unite aftVA thrm. ISut they' refuse to unite with us, and re quire a unrreniler to, their pftrty oriatiization. Our objection i. nut to uniting with them on a common platform respectful to both: but it is to a humiliating surrender to their dietKCon. We are r..-ndy now to do the first, but re will neeVr H,. il. l .ti..r l (n. Whigorganixation, you abandon your Democratic nrgiuiization, and we will meet halfway on nn American platform. Wewill bo Whig Americans, you mav be Democratic Americans. You WoiiN do it ! Then draw and fight to the death. That isour spirit, llut Mr. Clingman proceeds to say : " To show that this can he done with propriety, and witiiout loss of sell'-respcct, let us recur to the past action of our party in tho State." Slo. Ho then proceeds to show that tho Whig party had frequcotlyelectednicn tohigh placeswho had not aticnut uccn Yt hies, ana 1 admit that this is true I tiui.glad to say that the Whig party ha been liberal; and ia liberal still, and (joes not rerpiire a humiliating surrender of anybody, llut il Mr. Clingman means to say that the Whig party ol thu State of North Carolina ever held inde pendence lightly, the old love I bear it makes mo say ho is mistaken. It never yot forgot its dig nity. And li is himself a living evidence of it. 'ireat us was 'his m?rit, much as it desired to honor him, yet as soon a he bore haroVupon its inlirmUici and prophesied its downfall, it turned its back upon him, preferring to die iti.ltinhato than to live in his servitude. For the long service he rendered, it still wishes him nro.srierilv. and hopes that a few years of hard service and abort rations wall still lo.ivo him vitality enough to conic back, as comes the tirod stag to his starting place, and rest in tho old range. By which time, retain ing nil Ins eestre toilo good, hewill have lost bis power to do harm, and wall ho kindly received. And now, in very Inyo lor his new associate!, 1 will gently remind them, that Mr. Clingman, who so truthfully prophesied the downfallof the Whigs, said thnt your love for the public plunder was "the reek on which you would split. And thnt .the .Native Ainoncan spirit hhhisI, foreign influence was that whiclt,w,mld-wecrr you from the coun try. And, although you may-raiaove Atlas and the l'yrenees, jot yuu ahull not (scape that prophecy ! Mr. Clingman nxt nddresees himself to the American, and says that he told them that the Americans would bo disbanded, nnd advised them to stand uloof from them, aud then asks affection ately : "Do you not wish that you bad taken my ad vice ?" I answer, No. Wo have more confidence in his propbecv than we have love for bia ndvice. We must fdlow the fate which he predicted for us years ag i, to wiu that it jh foreign influence continue I to tie injuriously exercised, we would ew., the pnrty from the country that o exercis ed .t. That is our mission. I'rophocy has pre dicted it, nnd we moan ta maintain ita infalibilitv. No advice, no threats, noalluremonts, shall swerve us a hair's breadth. Ourcourso ia right on, and onward, up to victory. Aud then, when our mission isendd, when we have clothed the American nam with more lustre than ever Ho- man had, then we will listen to the advice of friends, though t hey may I slightly interested therein themselves. Hut Mr. Clingman next ad- urosses tne ieinMsrat, ana say: " With respe.-t to those persons who bar for merly acted with tne Ifniocratic party, (of coura no uoee not mean the rreeaoilar of ,ew irk,) "1 can sea u i reasoa fir their now withholding iiioiraurpon trom it. I answer, that I. can. (t'nlesa an fir as Uie lw l ork rre nler ar concerned, I, nrither, can aee any reason why they ahould withhold their support.) And the first reason is, becaue Mr. Clingman is a mem her of it not because hia association ia disreputable, hut because he love to battle with the elements of strife, brave danger, and barg himself to destruction. And eljhough hi unnatural it may b hia prophetic el rength enable him to escape, yet certain destruction awaits hia co federates. So it baa been, and ao it will be. llanevi-r joined the party until he saw the rock in eight on which he predicted they w .uld split, snU be want to witneec th fun of the wreck. " Another ob jection nf Mr.. Clingman' is, that th American party ia too weak to do anything; that it IP ket cao acarcely get m Mate la th I nioii. Well that ia just what he (aid would bar been tlie fate of the Imoerat, sf it bad not been for tb Whigs who went to their sup port. If, then, Ihesa earns Whig toav them I n' T A'e'n.

Our u no crusade against foreigners, such. It is nn selfishness or i clusivenen; audi not at all against, but ia oonnnnatory oi the idea, that our country i the asylum of the oppressed. I your house m , , place of hospitality, aud generosity, and charity because you retain to yourself the right tony who shall cune to it, and upon what terms they shall stay? No. It is this that make ityowr home, and not every b.siy's, and enable you t dispense hospitality. Just mi our country is not the leas hospitable, and generous, aud charitable because we would have tlie power to say who shall come 'oit, nnd upcn.what terms they shall stay. It ia thi that make it our country, and not everybody's ; and which will enable us. for ' ages I hope, to eecure to ourselves and diupcnsa to others, the blessings of civil and religious lib erty. This is the illustration. I say to one: "Where do you dome from!" , "I am from Kngland." ' ' "And do you not love your country, and tie place of your nativity ?" "No ; 1 love nothing." -"For what did yuu come here? ' "1 canto a fugitive from justlro ; to live uiion tlie country and do as I please. To him we say, "go back stranger ; this enua try is dedicated to virtue aud industry, and bu no place for you." To another I say: 1 , "Where are you from !" . "I am from Kngland." "And do you not love your country, and tb place of your nativity ?" a "Love it ? Yea ; I love it with achild'a fiiad- "Why crime won hore?" "ltcauso sroiety am! government ojipretsed me, and I enme to breathe your pure air, labor n your Yielding toil, and enjoy th blessings of livil and ruligioua liberty." v. ' To him we any, "Welcome stranger ; lir among us, with no other burdens than wa our selves will bear, and your children shall bear our proud name. " io you obiect to this? Will any foreiemw object? No foreigner that ever ought to hav neon allowed to come here will ol.toct. Only such as oomo to disturb ua, or else do not un derstand our doctrines, will cl ject. Fur, that Americana shall rul America, is as much to their good aa our. Why, my fellow-citiient, it is not the air nor the soil thntsmake a country, but it is the people. Look at Canada a tributa ry to a monarch, she ia on American (oil. Look at Sloxico poor, ignorant, lccble. prieat- ridden Mexico I She ia on American nil. 1ie.k at all South America, half civilised, her clime nd soil equal to cur. If you could to-day remove every cituen our of tin. country, sou mov all France into it, America would be.Vrsnre to-morrow, with all her burden, with all her ' poverty in low, and apfendor in' high place, with vice and irreligion everywhere, ana an tmperor for her master ; or, move in lingland, and il would be Kngland, with all her haughtiness and tiprcssion. And then how much better ol would be the down-trodden Irishman fin having fled from her cruelty? Or, move in the Ibimtna, and it would be Koine, with ail her superstition and intolerance, nnd ignorance, and with I'up as God ; and then how much better off would tli children of" the lllgriuis lie, fur having songbt this wiluemea and hrnved it lianli-hipa, aval they might worship the Lord aa (i. d ? To every native and to everv well-meanine foreiirner. I appeal in behalf of thi movement, and assure them the only way to keep America what the if, to let American govern it. I ak you to read again tha extracts from Mr. Clingman' meeb, aa to Ibe interference uf Kngland, and the object of it j it being no lesa than the avowed destruction of this Luton. And read, also, the extracts in regard to the inllurnee of foreigner and Catholic in our election, and th object they had ia view, to wit: th. benefit of the old countries from which they enme. And surely it i alarming enough. But if tuch waa it inl'oence then, w ben had only 1"MX0 e year, what must it b now that w h.r 4i0.0lJ0 a year? and what will it be when w hav 1,0W, 000 a year? But it ia not Kngland al. thai ha interfered with eur peace. During Use. Washington' administration Kurort" was at war, aad France formed tb daaign of nliting thi country in it, audio tliat end rnt ovr bar (missariea and formed eucietiee among Ih fir ignoraand among our own people; ao that the bole country wa thrown into commotion.
