AN ELOQUENT AMERICAN.

One Of the Kentucky Brecken-
ridges; who is a member of the Miss,
our Legislature, and ipberits tho pro-
verbal oloquence of his family, thus
alludes to the American party, in a
speech the other day, on bill referr-
ing to the regulation of elections and
the publications Of the ballot box.
" Time does not permit me, Mr.
Speaker, nor is this the proper oeca-
sion to enter upon the defence OF the
principles of :his great party, (the
Amorican.) | shall eagerly avail my
self of that opportunity at some more
appropriate season of the session. The
secrecy at which gentlemen seem to
be so much panied, has been removed,
thank God. | may be permitted to
say, as matter personal to myself,
that while good reasons can be given
for the adoption of this plan of secrecy
it was never agreeable to me and
further, [ may say, that though | was
not able for sometime to announce the
fact of my connection with it, | never
availed myself Of any evasion to con-
ceal it. That great heart of the people
was fully touched and fully aroused.
1t had proved its faith in the doctrines
of that party, by various and wonder
fll manifestations. He believed that
the great masses of his countrymen
would be found standing on the plat
form of conservative principles, which
that party had proclaimed. From the
teemlng cities the people were coming
up to attest their fcal'y to those prin-
ciples--from the hilIsides, and the
cabins and the green pastures, were
they coming in myriads to the Ameri-
can banner, and when they had &C.
CURED the power to reward and punish
when they had reaped the rich hur.
vest of victory-they would remember
those who had deserted, and opposed
them, in the struggle, and bartered
away their cause for temporary ad
vantage"

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.--In a late

beautiful passage occurs. Education

full Of flowers in green and daisy mea.

not touched-with creeping ants, and

The statesmen, politicians, and edi-

express purpose of attending to politi-

clergymen are; and they probably
love their country as well, and are as
ready to save it :; and what is better,
they are probably not SO likely to be-

likely to be bigoted and intolerant, and
to arouse the people to sectarian heart

IF we ever have civil war; growing
out Of religion, in our now happy and
