upon the American mind you have been unwit-
tingly the instrument of establishing its paternity
in Lafayette beyond di pute. You have drawn out
evidence too, of It's infrinsie truth; for the very
measures by which you have attempted 10 throw
discredit upon the genuineness Of this motto, fur
nish garing example Of the Inherent corruption
and dangerous character Of your corporation and
they have also demonstrated most emphatically the
necessity for such warning, and the foresight and
deep sagacity Of the republics wise and consistent
and benevolent friend
The result Of this controversy bears q lesson
both to the American people and to you. The
American people 1t will teach to ponder with less
Of incredglity and with deeper concern the preg-
nant warnings Of the fathers Of the republic.
To you, sir, IL administers a marked rebuke.
That foreign priest trained by the necessities oil
his birth In the dark scholasticsm Of his ancestors
should, at the bidding Of his ghosty master, bear
with him to this land of Bible light and Christian
civilization the debasing maxims, the disgusting
superstitions and diabocal doctrines OF his educa-
ton that he should think TO practice undiscovered
in this land of intellectual and moral light the arts
Of deception, with which example and habit have
made him familiar at home excites less our wonder
than our pity and disgust; but that an American,
that one who, with his fret moral breath inhaled
the purified air of Bible Christianity that one
whose infancy was nurtured amid the sound heads
and honest hearts OF a Kentucky community, should
voluntarily shrink away from the ayight that sur
rounded him and deliberately prefer to grope for
enlightenment in the foreign dens ofa decaying and
fostering superstition, is puzzle beyond my poor
comprehension to solve on any ordinary principles
of moral science. Scripture, indeed, speaks Of Q
class who "love darkness rather than light" and
Scripture supplies the ready solution Of the moral
enigma.
You have yentured, In your denunciations Of the
French ,tholic Priest, convert from Popery, 70
speak Of arnold and Of Judas. l thank you foI
the suggestion. They are proper names that re.
spectively and significantly impersonate political
and religious treason.
sincerely hope it is not reserved for America
to give another proper noun to the vocabulary that
shall more conveniently impersonate the double
treason in single name.

The publication Of the above extraordinary
letter from Mr. French will justify us in assert
ing that no longer ago than November and
December, 1854, that gentleman sent to this
Office two communications in favor Of the
American party, which were published in the
columns Of the Organ-the first on Novem-
Der 18th, and the second on December 18th.
Another communication from Mr.. French we
rejected on account of its abolition tendencies
We intend to re-publish Mr.. French's COM
munications of November and December last,
on future day.
The above was in type yesterday, but delay
ed for certain reasons.
The Union to-day announces the forced re-
signation or removal Of Mr.. French. 1t seems
therefore, that his letter Of recantation did not
produce the intended effect
Mr. French now occupies q peculiarly hui
initiating position in this community, and we
have no wish, at present, to increase his dis
comforts

Mr.. Boteler Probably Elected.

A gentleman from Mr.. Faulkner's district
infoyms us that great fraud has been discov-
cred in the late Congressional election in Hamp.
shire county. About two hundred residents
Of Cumberland, Maryland, voted in that county
for Faulkner, and their votes will of course be
thrown out In another precinct Of the district
the Commissioners Of Election were not sworn.
Faulkner's vote in this precinct was about 10
Mr.. Faulkner's presumed majority was l76
The circumstances above stated will reduce his
vote to minority, and elect Mr.. Boteler.
We give the above as reported to us, with.
out being able to vouch for Its accuracy A
few days will determine its correctness or thu
reverse

ESQ, as a member Of the Common Council
from the Seventh Ward by 221 majority.
Mr.. AT Lee was recently removed from Office
on suspicion of being member of the Ameri.

day following, and declared himself not to be
a member Of that order. For this declaration,
which was literally and strictly true, he was
grossly insulted by the Chief Magistrate Of
