ORIaiS or THE AMERICAN PARTy.--We have
seen ut different times Various accounts, pre-
tending to be authentic, OF the origin Of the
L" American, or +" Know Nothing' party, but
none of them which appeared so probable, or
were from such reliable and authentic
source, as the following, which was commu
nicatcd BY the Hon. Stephen Adams, United
States Senator from Mississippi, TO the editor
Of the Memphis Enquirer. Mr.. Adams Is a
Democrat, and man Of unimpeachablc cha
racter for ycracty. Mr.. A. informed the ed
itor:
Ist-It is unqualifedly false that that +.
| II. G. Judson, commonly called i" Ned Blunt
line," had anything to do with the organizs-
OF what is known as the know Nothing
or American party. The organization Of
which that notorious person was the founder,
was military one ut Boston, unconnected
with the political parties Of this country.

foreign and Catholic vote, provided he would
bind himself to appoint certain individuals
to office, a list Of whose names. and the 9th.
ces desired for them. was furnished. The
candidate refused to make any such corrupt
bargain--and sure enough. he was beaten b,
his opponent. After the Inauguration o
the successful candidate. il was observed
that all or nearly all Of the persons whose
names were upon the aforesaid list, wer,
appointed to the offices therein specified
Intelligence Of these facts spread like vii,

of the ocean are to become peopled ike
the land, cannot be supposed; but with
in period, judging from the rapidity Of
the progress in the last hundred years,
likely to be extremely short 10 relation
to the historical period Of the worlds
existence, they may be all as crowded
with vessels as the channel"
The writer of this article says acci-
dental collisions between vessels at sea
are very much on the increase, but he
does not know that they are more so
than the rapid increase of the number
of vessels navigating the ocean might
be supposed to occasion. The increase
of the speed of the ships and the in
crease of their size are also elements
which ought to be taken into the calcu-
lation. 1t is to be hoped that there is
an increase of knowledge and'careful
ness on the part of the captains and
crews; so that perhaps there is not,
generally speaking, any very great in
crease of danger from collision. An
Admiralty return has just been publish
ed which shows that the wrecks on the
coast and in the seas Of the United
Kingdom during 1854 were 987, being
153 more than those in 1853, while the
loss of life increased from 889 to 1549.
This return shows collisions at sea to be
greatly on the increase.

UNCLE SAM.-Uncle Sam was na-
ton 79 years ago. Since then he whip
ped his mother and one of his brothers;
thrashed the Barbary cousins, threat
ened France and made her pay up, and
cleared decks for battle with Austria
He set an example Of liberty and popu-
lar power that has terribly frightened
the despots of the earth, and periled the
ancient thrones.
He has grasped continent, and is
fast covering it with free and educated
and thriving people. He has built more
ships than any other nation in the same
length of time, and his flag is now seen
in every sea and harbor. He has built
more steamboats,, more railroads, more
churches and more cities, in that seven
ty-nine years than any other nation in
FIVE hundred years. He has printed
more newspapers, made more speeches
and done more Dragging than any other
nation in thousand years.

SELF RELIANcE.-There is time,
in every mans education, when he ar
rives at the conviction that is ig-
norance; that Imagination is suicide,
that he must take himself for better, for
worse, as his position; that though the
wide universe is full of good, no kernel
of corn can come to him, but through
his toll. bestowed on the plot of ground,
which is given him to till. The power
which resides in him, is new in nature,
and none but he, knows what that is
which he can do, nor does he know un-
til he has tried. Not for nothing. one
face, one character, one fact makes much
impression on him, and another none.

A SHREwD REPLY.-Sir Walter Scott
says, that the alleged origin of the in
venter of cards produced one of the
shrewdest replies he had ever heard
given in evidence. 1t was made by the
late DR., Gregory, of Edinburg, TO a
counsel of great eminence at the Scot
tish bar. The doctors testimony went
to prove the insanity Of the party whose
mental capacity was at the point at is
sue. On cross interrogation he had
admitted that the person in question
played admirably at whist. ''And do
you seriously say, DOCTOR" said the
learned counsel, ''that person having
a superior capacity for game so diff
cult, and which requires, in pre-emi-
nent degree, memory, judgment, and
combination, can be at the same time
deranged in his understanding" II
am no card player" said the doctor
with great address, "but have read in
history that cards were invented for the
amusement of an insane king" The
consequence of this reply was decisive.
