MrK Lkens the K.Xs to the "Jacobins." Every one a ho has read the hktory of France knows how niijuit this k. France waa an okl and poarejrful monarchy. She wa Catholic with al, llutory ssys the nobility became oppressive and the church corrupt and tbe nation in6dvl. Tbe King waa beheaded. The government wu destroyed. A new one bad to be formed. Pif ferent partita arusu. Cue wanted a king and 00a ttitrtutkm. Another wanted aoonstitutioa with out a liug ; and others wanted neither a king and comtitution nor a comtitation without a kini. Excikmt-nt ihcreaited. There Wat nothing to re strain them. Thev unaniinoiulv decreed that there was no' God, that the Bible waa a fable, and death only a perpetual deep. And hence man oiitv an am'waf. AdJ a one party would get the aacendeney over the other, Uiey would butclrer one another tike animals ; and at tliit tfrrJaflahje .'win numt lilrtWkniiLteta-tbej stand that a man might Jmam of a Kkeneas be tweeu the Jacotiin and K. X.'a, but no mortal man wiJt atmkt can trace it Again : we are likened to tlx Democratic clulis which endeavored to overthrow Washing- tout administration and involve ut in a war with England and all the frantic schemes of tbe French revolution. So far from this being to, oaf object is eai'aif foreigners, and all CorDmu nitiqnwith ibem.VhilerAfirj was a cos arr'tna with foreigners. This ia really too fxr fotcbed even for a dream. 1 Mr. K. says we connect polities with religion, snd sre against Eberty of eontcienae. This j simply alisurb. Our princiflet say the contrs-1 ry ; our practiet shows trie contrary. We are or liberty of conscience and liberty for worship. And this bruigs us m conflict with th Catho lics. For the Pope sitys in bis Encycfical letter, Auir. 15th, 1852, liberty of oonscienee ia a most pestilential error a pest most to be dreaded in Sute." u, tliuii, are fur liberty of conscience ; tbe Catholics are oppotti to it. Mr. K. abate us ami aupports the Cslholical Still bs say he is a Protestant!! All tbe worse! ' TV bare, an enemy in our household. This mutt be a Pro testant or Catholic country. They can no more world iliowo it It may he that it ought not to ba to, but 1 it ao. They may endure one an other while there is such a disparity in numbers ai that the dominant nrty does not foar the other, nut just as soon as tney approacn each other in numbers and influence, just then they begin to strive for the anccndency. And then come such ' persecutions fire and faggot at make the blood chill to think of. The Catho lics aru infolerant by fiutb and practice. It is their creed. The l'rokwtanta have been so some times from necessity. We fled from tbe persecu tion of the old world. We came to a wilder ness and aubducd it, and made a fair country with peace and plenty and God' blueing. And the question is now presented to tb American people, whether we will preserve the Protestant influence and rclijpon ccuriiig to the Catho lic, who are with us and in the mmortfjr ao, all tlieir rihtt ; or keep open our ahorea to tbe influx of immigrant to the number of 500, OOO a year, of whom 300,000 are Catholics, un until tbey will have the entire ascendancy, or else approach us so near aa to cause U r riblo struggle for the ascendency 1 .Will it not be better for the Cathobc as well as our' j selves to guard against the evil, while it is yet in the distance, thau to wait until it is near and imminent, and tbea bar to exterminate it by toroal For tbi ia errfai : that this mt be either a Protestant or a Catholic country. Thev will riever -olerate each other, when they sp- rdach no near as ur tear cacn otner. The question remain; sloea sack a state of things exut aa te auike H aeccstary that the Pro lestaais sboahi WKwa ow ia order to prevent the dnadful evils if whkh'l have alluded I Aad this bring sne lo Mr. KVa statistics, which are emarkaU tor this ; they are remarkably ioae- -!. , And yet I am very sure that Mr. K.

And if hamigntioa increase a it ha doae, ia a tew yeart they will ke more numeroos than "all the other denosniaatioaa eombined. ... . -To prove his pwitioa Mr. K. says, that it is "s weli attested tact," Uat between 6 and 8, 000,000 Catbotos have iinm igatedto our shores. Aad that thorn arc bet now only "about 1,000,- 000. Aad then be- aks what bas become of the other fijoOO.OOO! And be , answers that they hare been tomrerted to protestantism.' Tb statement is extraordinary. For the uiior Aatioa neominpn teevery body, thatPiotestanta aa otea turn Catholics aa Catholics turn Protes tant. But bow oet Mr. K. get at bia Veil at tested fsctP . The etnsua statistics am tbe mast reliable inforanatioo we hare. Tbe abstract ot tbeWeotus, page 131, which it compiled from the most reliaUe information ia the centos of Sob, and sent put to as by the govern ment as tlie neaivat approneh te aeenntey, iutorrnt n that up to 1850 (the time Mr. K. iniorma ane he alludes to.) thtwaosf immigration to tbs United States, Mtf all religions and xt no religion, was only ,8,00e.-Howeailr: fcgrtw,00.rOO Catholic immigrauta out of 2,036,000 of nil mrU t TheErBTwayiEcn (r Mr. K.s 8,000,000 which be thinks muat have turned llrotextaots after they eameliere, w. tb.tt thry never came at all. Mr. K. tars, that in "Louisiana tbe Catholics sre decreasing, for that 50 years ago they were the twiy rvligioorttsi and now ttiey are third the Methodist ajnd Baptutt prodomioating." Th cenu,djoeJnf4 give the somber of mem bers ef tbe diuVrent eburebe, bat does give the church accomodations and vsroe of church pro1 petty, which is the Bearcat approach to accuracy at my command. , Th census shows church ac coccmodatioo : Catholic 37,000, Methoditt 30,000, Baptist 15,000. Vans of church pro perty: Cath. 1,048,000, Metb. Ba3.0K, lpt. 30,000. From this it teemi tbo Catholics largi'ly predominate. Aad uch kt the irreligi ous influence ia that State that tho Sabbath is the common military - paraK show, and frolic day. But if it be true that the proUatants pre dominate, it M not became th Catholics bar decreased, but becattneth protestants Lave mov ed in from the other State. 42 years ago 1803 we bouglit Looisiaa from France. We have ao account of the popnlalioti then. Bet it could for in 18 10, after our people bad beeri mo iug il) for 7 yean, her white nomlatioo was only 34,000. And tb census sbows that the catbo lics hare church acooroodutioni bow for more than the whole population a late as 1810. The catholics, therefore, in spite of all the protestant influence that could be'broaght to bear upon them, bare increased largely, not to say tarmfay- fy, la Loobiana. 1 1 l.l said that . if llie Cathol'rca i fast a they bav increased, in a few year from this time they will be more numerous than all tbe other denomination combined. To prove this 1 states, that tee foreign immiirratioa is S0Q,000 a year. It ia estiaiated tbat at least 300,000 art? Catholics, which in 5 years will make 1,500,000, which added to the namber now here would equal if not exceed all lb oth er denominations combined. This calculation is made upon the supposition that there will be no increase in tbe immigration over but year. , But aa the immigration ba more than; doubled in th.- Ist five years, why will it not more than double iu the next five.' and then we shrdl have 1,000,000 year, with 600,000 Cath olics. And still Mr. K. says let them come ! ! Let tbem-eome and' be converted to IVotestrm- It in no spirit of intolerance, but in a spirit of charity, that I warn the country ' of the dan ger ! To what purpose was H that oor father fled from an evil, which is to follow and over whelm their children t Eternal vigilance is ao lews the price of religious than .of civil liberty. While, therefore, we will secure to th Catholic who are among us all tlieir rights, let at guard against tbe evil of inch ad increase of their num bers as will endanger our safety and their own. My dear sirs, we have fallen upon perilous times. Our country has become hard to gov ern. There ia a restless, turbulent, marauding spirit ia the sand, which must be naastersd, or it will master us. A fows years ago 113,000,000 was thought to be too much for the expense of the Government It was 11 bead for every man, woman and child in the U. 8. Now tlie expense are 75,000,OOO ; deducting 7,000, 000 for tlie Texa debt, leave $68,000,000 a year, about 3 a bead for every nwan, woman and child in the U. S. . I do not cewsare tbe ad ministration or any who voted for it But I complain that the ttate of the country i tuch aa te require auch an expenditure in a time of peace With all the world. To account for the large outlay, Mr. K. said at lSttiborough, that 10, 000,000 was for the Gadsden treaty, which up on examination I $nd to be a mistake of Mr. Ka. ...... . ' :- . . ' "We iiiinS thsiwucJt of th dict 'ef the mflueac mongea.-, ;jz.llL The eeoans shows (see abstract, rage 131,1 that from 1790 to 1810 th foreign immigra tion to. tbi country was 8,000 a, year ; from 1 810 to 1820 it waa 11,000 a year; from 1820 to 1830 it was 14,000 a year; from 1830 to 1810 it was'60,000 a year; and 1840 to 1850 it was 150,000 a year. Besides some that came from Canada. From 1850 to this time tbe en tries st lb ports sre between i and 500,000 ; and but vear tU estimate ' is S00.000.- Tb 'Site population' of Korth Carolina ia only a little over 800,000, so tust enough come to settle a Sute a populous as Jf. C. a year. The. cafcniailort in the census (see abs. p. 130,) is that, if It increase' aa It has, in 35 years from tbi time the population of this country will exceed that of France, England, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Switxertand, off combined. ' And any one who will make the calculation will find that ia 10 or 15 years the foreign will out-number the native population. Tbe fumntiig of tbe immigration is tbenrfore alarming-, put tb qutJitf is still mors so, ,., The sana ensoa statistics, (see pages 28'9,) show that ia 1850 tber wer 434,000 paujiert ia tbe U. . g,(H0 foreigners and 09,000 na tive. There were 27,000 convicts for crime 14,000 foreigners aad 13,000 natives. Besides this, they are bought op at elections," snd con trol them, and make riot, blootblied and mur der. Formerly, tbe Dutch farmer were deVer. They came with tbeir snbstanc, not only " to adopt s country, but to W.lp build it up. But they that come now come to live Hpon tbeeouti- 0- r -Wr-. :- f.J " To correct this great evil and to aar tue Cn- ion from factions and draorgsuisers, is the -object of tbe American Party. Tam" 'iwareTthal" whalof tciTecy'tliereisarWt it it made a scare-crow of. It originated in this w ay : Yon are aware that for a long time the tro old parties had possessions of the country nearly balanced each striving for the ascendan cy. Tbe foreign rote was the balance of power. Each 1 party thcrvfore courted the foreigners. And neither party has ever made the firt move to correct the evil. ' Ten or twelve years ago an eSort was made to get up the American party. But heu ibey nominated a candidate, he was obliged to be" a Whig or a Democrat, and then as now U'was said to be a party trick, and he was defeated in a few instances elected, as in the.erM f Mr. Levin. But the eri( bss increased ontil something must be done; and to avoid the cry of party tric," they met in secret and nom inated their candidates, and pledged themselves, calling God to witness, to support them. And when tbe election came otTk their candidates were elected, the old party leaders were astonish ed, and the" people' Were delighted. Success gave confidence the American spirit was up. And the sentiment spread over the eonntrjr like a prairie-fire. And they published their candidates and their principles and established their paper, tbe party, except the igna by which they Enow one another. This Ss the beginning and the sum of the American Party. Its name is the "AMERICAN CXIOX. They are their "Country's Hope."-! Their aim and end are their "Country's Safety." Very respectfully, .

Hence the perpetual snow on very high nionntains in tlie hottest cli mate. 2,ow, when, from continued evapora tion, tlie air is highly saturated with va pour, though it be invisible and the sky cloudless, if its temperature is suddenly reduced bv cold currents descending from above, orrn'Shmg from a higher to a low er latitude, or by the motion of saturated air a cooler latitude, its capacity, to re tain moisture is diminished, clouds are formed, and the result is rain. Air con denses as it cools, and, like a sponge tilled with water and coin pressed, pours out the water which its disminished capacit v can not hold. How singular, vet how simple, the philosophy of rain ! "What but Om niscience could have devised such an ad mirable .arrangement for watering the earth I .

JB- If we recollect aright, it waa not many months after tbe siege of Sebastopol com menced, that Brigadier uenerat Webb fomerly of the; regular army, and more recently editor of the New. York Cou rier and Enquirer, wrote letters to hia paper from England, demonstrating to his own entire satisfaction that Sebasto poi could be easily earned by assault by tbe allied armies. The progress of the seige and tbe recent tremendous repulaa ' of the attempt to storm, bas convinced the " Brigadier or bia error, and he has now come to the sensible conclusion that "8e- " bastopol cannot be taken must be Starr- - ed ouU" --r..t If tlie allies had acted on that principle -from the first, investing the town com- -pletely North and South, it might have fallen long ago. - lbs the only meant by which it will ever fall. The Courier ret r fers at length to the repeated failure to make any impression upon the fortifieai tions the repulse of the fleets which at. tacked forts Quarantine ond Constantino at the mouth of the harbor, on the 17th of October the successive bombardments resulting in nothing-r-finally the decisive 1 and terrible defeat at the Redan and raal akoff. The Courier comes to the rational . conclusion that the only reasonable hope now left for taking this stronghold Is by , investing it so completely as to cut on all chance of supplies of food and ammuni- , tion. " This," adds the Conrierj wonld only he a work of time. .

Sebastopol now is; but, even making th most liberal ajiowance, it cannot, wim any ... likelihood, be said to exceed a year's ne-- -r. eessity, for it is known that the place had imh a targe maguiue 01 prvvwiwu wueu first approached, and the supplies that have since been forwarded have not been extraordinary in amount, there being no occasion for this, sine the communica tion with main land baa not been at any , time interrupted or even threatened.
