THREE REASON.

CLSVELAND, OHIO, REQ. ~, 1000.
see by the Era. that for publishing extracts
from private letters, opposed to Know Nothing
ism, you are accused OF publishing supposed
extracts on that subject. L will, however, an
swer for the senuineness of one of them and
this, though intended private letter, you
are welcome to use as you please, from date to
signature inclusive. which will settle the ques-
ton of its authorship, in Northern Ohio, at
least, should you choose to publish it.
Though | am rs far from being Catholic
as the most ultra Know Nothing, believe as
little in their religion, and am as decidedly OPP
posed to the religious intolerance of many of
them, and of their political action in some
cases, especially their crusade against our free
schools, yet | cannot conscientiously join the
latter in their entire and unqualified opposition
TO Catholics as sect, or to foreigners as a
class. That among them are many ignorant
and vicious persons, | well know; and so there
are among protesting Protestants and native
born Americans; but, on the broad principles
of humanity | am opposed, in either case, to
holding al responsible for the condition or
conduct of part. Both Catholics and for
eigners aided in obtaining our independence,
and both have since bravelv and jealousy
aided in maintaining it, and, presume, would
do so again, If occasion required and justice,
as well as common humanity, seems to forbid
our adopting the proscriptive policy of the
Know Nothings.
Another reason why cannot join them, is
this: they adopt and thus practically endorse
the most Objectionable feature, as view it, of
the Jesuit policy; that is, their inviolabe Sc
eresy in relation TO all their schemes, however
bad they may be.
My third reason for my opposition to Know
Nothngism is based on Anti-Slavery premises,
which / can neither conscientiously nor consist
emily, as think. abandon; and / cannot see
how honest and intelligent AntiSlavery men
can join or act with party of which, and a very
prominent member, is Willard Fillmore.

| the Ministry if they could give some explana-
ton as to the contents of these dispatches.
an Luzuriaga, in the midst of a silence tru-
| " solemn, gave a reply as categorical as the
circumstances would permit.
"a great conspiracy had in fact been discov-
cred; but the Captain General Concha had sue
ceeded in nipping it in the bud. All the prin-
| cipal actors in this drama were in the hands OF
| the authorities. The Minister was able to give
the assurance that the security Of this rich col
| ony was in no danger. Large reinforcements
of troops were about being dispatched to Gene
| raj Concha. Spain would bleed from all her
veins, sooner than support IN that quarter either
injury or dishonor.
"0n the character of the conspiracy M. Luz
zuriaga was not as explicit as he himself would
no doubt have desired. He only ventured to
insiuuate fact which people here would like to
doubt namely, that the impulse of this conspir-
acy came from the United States; and he i'm
mediately asserted with energy, and in a man
ner which produced a profound impression on
the Assembly, that all the conspirators arrested
were acknowledged partisans ofthe maintenance
of Slavery.
"On this occasion the Minister made dec
| Iaration which reflects the highest honor upon
him, as well as upon the Cabinet whose senti-
ments he expresses. He said that, without in
vading the rights of established property, with
| out refusing to compensate them by suitable
indemnity, the Spanish Government was finally
decided to put an end to barbarous institution
which all civilized nations condemned and
which NJ Luzuriaga did not fear to call pest
and shame to humanity.
"The Espartero Ministry has the more merit
for having taken this generous initiative, from
the fact that Negro Slavery reckons, in this lib
feral land of Spain, numerous and very warm
partisans, and for Cuba itself the declaration is
not without its perils.
an. Olozaga constituted himself the inter
prefer of the sentiments of the whole Assembly,
by proposing vote of adhesion and thanks to
the Cabinet. 1t was the pendant to that which
was passed about month since, in consequence
, of the explanations demanded by M. Mariateg-
ny. The Cortes have proved once more that
they are decided not to retreat from this posi-
ton, in which the honor of Spain is so deeply
involved.
apart from the debates of the Assembly, /
have learned that the principal author of this
Cuban conspiracy is an unfrocked monk, who
had succeeded in insinuating himself, to a GER
tain extent, into the confidence of General
Concha. Mention is also made, in connection
with it, of well-known employee belonging to
the engineer corps"

For the National Era.
E IG r A 7 ION SON g.

Ho, we friends of emigration,
Help the swelling of the wave,
From the freehold of our nation
Bearing forth the true and brave.
Sons of bold New England hardy.
From afar comes up the cry,
"Freemsn's steps should not be tardy,
When the sound is Liberty"
Better that the red man never
Leave the graves where sleep his sires,
Than hat Freedoms voice should ever
Mourn DER her extlnguished fires.
We are coming from the mountains,
From the crowded city's hum,
From the wales and murmuring fountains
OF our free and happy home.
Coming with New England blessing,
With her aid and earnes, prayers
On our lips the home carsssng-
These shall tighten all our cares.
Ours are steps that never falier,
Bold as the Atlantic wave,
Ours are minds that wear no halter
Truth and right the boon we crave!
Soon from every hill and valley,
Solitary now, and lone,
Where the summer breezes daily
With the forests echoing ,one;
Where the tide of emigration
Sweeps the Kansas shores along,
Shall be heard, with acclamation,
Libertys triumphant song.

contending long and zealously for equal rights
for all men, and when the justice of our cause
is beginning 10 be fully and practically ac-
knowledged by the best men of all parties, and
a glorious triumph seems almost within our
reach, do hope the friends of Freedom will
not desert or indirectly repudiate their former
principles, by Joining in crusade against any
sect or class, on a plea of correcting present
or preventing future evils, for which, if not
more imaginary than real, We have already al
ample remedy. Let US continue to strive to
help those who cannot help themselves, and
oppose oppression on the broad principles OF
common humanity, aud then we shall be in the
best possible position TO oppose it efficiently
