UNLAWFUL GATHERING OF NEGRoEs.--The Police
and Guard Of our city made grand descent upon
house on ID street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets last night and captured twenty four negroes
between the ages Of nineteen and thirty years. who
were there having secret and private conference
for some purpose, which 1t Is hard TO discover.
The police have long been aware of these meetings,
and also that a password was necessary to obtain
admittance, but were unable until recently TO OBJ
tain It. Last night by giving the password, they
were admitted into the room, and found species
of Free Masonic mystery going on. Charles Brown,
who appeared TO be Generalissimo, was aTrayed In
an astonishing bright velvet regalia, onamented
with gold and precious stones, and three or four
other regalias were found in the room and one
appeared to be undergoing the process Of initiation
The police suspect that the regalia and pretence
that they are Masons, (Which the negroes state to
be the fact) are sham, and intended to misead
them and think that 1t is secret conspiracy to
effect the escape of slaves. If this be the fact, it
is well that 1t Is thus nipped in the bud. They
were fined five dollars and costs each, with the ex-
ception of the slaves, who were whipped, and the
following are the names of the parties: Washing
ton Clements, Charles Mason, John Williams, Jos
johnson, j. L. Bennett, Chester Taylor, Charles

| MIR. Smith, Of Alabama, made strong
Know Nothing speech in Congress on Mon
day, 18th inst. He said that be desired and
intended his voice should be beard IN the re-
hottest corners in this country.
The time will soon come when American
legislators would be forced by the voice Oh
| the people, to take their stand on this great
American question, and act. All mere par
ties and party organizations viii have to give
way bef5re it. lie assumed that the
new association being composed entirely OF
Native Americans, could have nothing at
heart but the rlory, honor and welfare Of the
country.
lie laid down and then argued from the
following premises
First. No emigrant shall be allowed to
leave the ship he comes in, until he renouhees
his allegiance to all foreigners, and swears
boaa 6de 10 become an inhabitant Of the U.
States. And this shall be made known to
him by the captain OF the ship before he takes
his p ssage.
Second. N, emigrant shall be allowed to
land until be produces passport from the
proper authorizes OF TIE United States abroad
FROM which he comes, which passport shall
contain t.e requirement of the proposition.
Third The consuls shall be Instructed not
to give passports to any person unless OF
sound mind and body, and good Character,
stating that said emigrant has never been
convicted of crime; and they shall refuse
passports to all persons VIGOROUSLY sedltlous
AID rebellious, and all criminals and paupers.
Fourth The Naturalization Laws should
be SO far repeated as to prevent all foreigners
from voting who have not become naturali-
zed, provided that all boys under the age Qf
10 years, on arriving at the age of Fl, shall
be considered citizens in every respect
Foreigners should not be allowed to vote be
cause they can never appreciate Republican
Government. In this connection he con-
demned Kossuth, kinkle, Nj zzini, and the
speakers at the public meetings in New York,
who recently advocated the taking 0 otter
peoples property by free.

DEFENCE OF THE MORMOAS.

Mr.. Bernhisel, the delegate in Congress
from Utah Territory, has published defence
of bingham Young and the Mormous gem
orally against the charge that they are hostile
to the General Government. He says that
Governor Yeuog has not misopplied. as al.
lodged any part of the money entrusted to
him by the United States for Territorial pur
poses but has notified the Secretary Of the
Treasury that he is prepared to account for
it all lie also quotes from an address dsliy
cred by Young, in which he says that ''there
is no law in the United States, or in the Con-
situation. but | am ready TO make honorable. ("
In reference to the report that Young had
publicly threatened opposition to the Gener-
al Government aud violence to a succession
Mr. Bernhisel says: "rbe language which
has been perverted was the exposition of bis
confidence in the Government OF God aud
the expression Of bis devout submission tc
the Providence which rules all created
things Mr.. Bernhisel does not touch upon
the subject or polygamy.
