principle Of entire and absolute equality among
all the states of this Union, and it is not COM
petent for the congress or any other power to
impose upon new states coming into the Union
any condition or restriction in respect to their
domestic institutions or internal concerns
which the federal constitution has not otimposed
upon the original states; and that any effort
on the part of congress or any other power TO
violate this principle, should be met and re-
sisted by all good citizens, as an attempt to
trample upon and destroy our Union.
. A. Resoircd, That all men have natural
right, antecedent to the formation of civil So
ciety, and beyond the control of government,
to religious freedom, the surrender of which
is not necessary to the temporal welfare of the
state, and cannot be relinquished even by the
consent of the citizen, in free government ;
that much less can any mere party or faction
regulate that right by any party compact
against his consent, without violating this car
dnal principle and the spirit of our constitu-
ton, our laws, and our free government and
that the civil rights, privileges or capacities
of any citizen should in no wise be diminished
or enlarged on account Of his religion.
s. Resolrtd. That we do not recognize any
distinction among the citizens of the United
States based upon the aristocratic principle of
birth, and'we hold that it is dishonest to repu-
date the contract given bv the government
couferring all the rights of American citizen
ship in its letters OF naturalization, and after
wards by party compact 70 debar naturalzed
citizens from the full benefits while we leave
them subject 10 the full burthens of the agree
ment r
6. ResolUed, That the open discussion of
public affairs is the foundation of the intelli-
gence of the people and the safeguard of free
dom; that any secret association or brother
hood for political objects is dangerous to free
Institutions, destructive of social confidence,
and contrary TO the frank and manly character
of true American.
7. Resolred, That we conceive these princi-
Piles vital for the maintenance of the constitu-
tion and the integrity of the Union, and that
we invoke all patriotic citizens, irrespective of
past party opinions, TO unite with US for the
preservation of the inestimable blessings of
civil and religious liberty.
6. Resoired, That we approve of the ad-
ministration OF President Pierce, as evinced in
the principles set forth in his inaugural ad-
dress and elgcidated and enforced in his annu-
al and special messages, and carried into prac-
tical operation in the leading measures of his
administration.

1t has profaned the sacred home of religion,
by an appeal to the weak and miserable pref
udices of faggot-burning fanaticIsm-vlolated
in its letter and spirit the teachings of the BIZ
Bile, scorned the ordinary promptings of gen
erous soul, the humanity and the feelings OF
mercy.
1t has taught men to think lightly of treason
to the general government, by administering
oaths to violate the constitution, by the intro
duction of religious tests and the tests of birth
place.
Ii has been false TO the prosperity OF the
great West, by attempting to drive from our
midst those enterprising men who have IN part
built its public works, titled its fields, and
been controlling element of its rapid and as
tonishing increase in wealth and population.
Il has weakened the bonds of society and
shaken our government to its very foundation,
by the instigaton of numerous and bloody ri
OTIS, repeated violations of the purity of the
ballot-box in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Kan
sas, the destruction OF valuable property, the
most atr0cious murders of innocent men. and
the burning in flames of weak and defenceless
women and children. g.ass a.
Ii has struck heavy blow at government,
religion, society, morality, and everything that
honest men and republicans hold dear.
Such is the brief history of that short-liyed
but desperate organization-the know-nothing
party. It is spurned in the bosom of every
honest man; it lives in the fears of every
mother, aad every child in the land can recount
its horrors History and tradition will hand
down to posterity its intense iniquity. Its
name will be Anathema. Let its misdeeds go
down TO succeeding generations in the con-
densed and expressive phrase, The infamy of
know-noihingism.'

Pennsylvania.

The Democratic Standing Committee of the
fine old county of Berks in Pennsylvania
which can poll $4,000 votes, and give SIX
THOUSAND majority for democracy-have al
ready issued circular address urging an ear
ly and complete organization for the presiden-
tial canvass of 1856. We agree with the
Reading Democrat in the remark that
"There are none better fitted to begin the
work than the people of Berks, who have long
been the vanguard of the democracy of Penn
sylvania, and on many memorable occasion
led them TO glorious victory. The recon-
mendations of the committee are plain and
practical-looking to the single object of hav-
ing every election district thoroughly can
vassed-every democratic voter known-and
the precise strength Of each district ascer-
tanned. Association in the manner proposed
will promote union and harmony, accuslom
democrats TO act and work together for the
party, and school them TO enter the field all
the more confident and selfreliant when the
day for decisive action comes. The late elec-
ton was but preliminary skirmish TO the
great national battle which must be fought in
1856, andit behooves every democrat who de-
sires the success of his party then, 10 follow
up the temporary advantage already gained, in
the way pointed out by the committee. Let
US, then, enter heartily upon the work marked
out for us-organize In every township and
ward. in such manner as will concentrate all
our strength, and fit it for entering the canvass
SO well prepared and wary as to defy the mosi
lnsldious assaults of the enemv.' a

New York.

The democratic meeting at Tammany Hall,
New York, on the 25th, was very fully at
tended. The resolutions adopted were patri-
otc and national in.tone
The fourth declares that the national ad-
ministraton has faithfully, impartially and en-
erge,ically carried out the principles of de-
mocracy, under circumstances of peculiar dis
traction and difficulty.
The fifth, that the people, in spite oftle en-
Wy, clamor and detraction which have assailed
Franklin Pierce, are convinced that the de-
mocracy never mistake their man, nor elevate
to the highest Office in the republic one unen-
titled TO their confidence or unworthy of their
admiration

Visit Of the Lutheran Synod to the
Ff84 President, wv

In accordance with resolution unanimous
ly adopted. the members of the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod of Maryland, who had been
holding their session in this city for several
days, called in a body at the White House ON
Tuesday for the purpose of paying their re-
spects to President Pierce. They were re-
ceived by him with manifest qualification, and
we have the pleasure Of knowing that the
members of the Synod were highly pleased
with their visit The Rev. Mr.. McCron in
troduced his brethren 10 the President in the
following appropriate remarks:-
Mr.. PRESIDENT 1T affords me much pleas
ure to introduce TO your excelleDcy The Evan
gelcal Lutheran Synod Of Maryland, and to
assure you OF our high appreciation of your
distinguished services on behalf of the great
republic which has, with confidence in your
ability and integrity, placed the administration
OF lis executive government in your hands,
As Germans, natively or by descent, our
profound and sincere regard has always been
manifested to our noble and generous institu-
ilons; and while we congratulate you on the
prosperity and peace which eminently distin-
guish our grand national confederacy, we shall
continue to offer our prayers for perpe,ua-
Iion Of the same benediciions.
The President responded as follows
"SIR Il am very much gratifed to meet
the Lutheran Synod of Maryland, now con-
vened in this city, several of whose ministers
i has been my pleasure to hear preach I; and
| feel much obliged to you, sir, and the body
which you represent, for the favorable senti-
ments In regard to my services as President Of
this great country, just expressed. Whatever
merit may attach to those services must be as
cribed to sincere and honest purpose faithful
ly TO discharge the responsible duties imposed
upon me BY the people. And II affords me
very great pleasure to be assured that am re-
menfbered by the clergy in their prayers to a
Throne OF Grace for regard them as class
OF men whose services are Of great importance
to the welfare of our country, and am al
ways grati6ed to meet them in social inter-
course. | am gratifed to bear testimony to
the civil value of Germans, whose national
character your Synod represents In all the
relations which they sustain to our govern
ment. | have always found them 10 be honest,
sincere IN their attachment TO our country,
loyal, and perfectly reliable. y Washington

Rights of Belligerents in the q. States.


Attorney General Gushing has rendered an
official opinion in regard to the recent viola
ton of our naturalization laws by Minister
Champion and several British consuls, pre-
senting the following points :
l. 1t is settled principle of the law of ma
tions that no belligerent can rightfully make
use of the territory of neutral state for bel
ligerent purposes, without the consent of the
neutral government.
3. The undertaking of belligerent to en-
list troops of land or sea in neutral state
without the previous consent of the latter, is a
hostile attack on its national sovereignty.
g. A neutral state may, if ii please, permit
or grant to belligerents the liberty to raise
troops of land or sea within its territory :; but
for the neutral state to allow or concede the
liberty to one beligerent and not to all would
be an act of manifest belligerent partiality, and
a palpable breach of neutrality.
A. The United States constantly refuse this
liberty to all belligerents alike, with Impair
tial Justice; and that prohibition is made
known to the world by permanent act of
congress.
s. Great Britain, in attempting, by the
agency of her military and civil authorities in
the British North American provinces, and
her diplomatic and consular functionares in
the United States, to raise troops here, COM
mitted an act Of usurpation against the sover-
eign rights of the United States.
6. All persons engaged in such undertaking
to raise troops in the United States for the
military service of Great Britain, whether cit
zens or foreigners, individuals or officers, ex-
cept they are protected by diplomatic privi-
lege, are indicted as malefactors by statute.
Z. Foreign consuls are not exempted, either
by treaty or the law of nations, from the penal
effect of the statute.
8. In case of Indictment of any such consul
or other official person, his conviction of the
misdemeanor, or his escape by reason of ar
ranged constructions and contrivances to evade
the operation of the statute, is primarily a
matter of domestic administration, altogether
subordinate in the consideration of the nation
al insult or injury to this government, involved
in the fact Of foreign government instructing
its officers to abuse, for unlawful purposes the
privilege which they happen 10 enjoy in the
United States.

u. S. Agricultural Exhibition.

The grand exhibition, under the auspices Of
the U. S. Agricultural Society, made Boston
the great centre of attraction, last week, from
all The country around. s.- .
BY the statistics at the Office of the Chief of
Police, it appears that on Thursday, s, 800 car
riages came into the city, bringing 2l,lS4 pas
sengers $50 passengers cars brought in 25,-
653 do, and 80, $50 persons came in on foot, a
total of Sc, III persons. 6,645 carriages con-
veyed 19.o40 passengers out of the city, 592
cars carried out "a ,674 do, and 40, ,97l left on
foot, making 81 ,6s5 persons who left the city.
The Boston papers are filled with the details
Of the exhibition, which appears to have been
a complete success. t
The Banquet took place on Friday afternoon.
Speeches were made by President Wilder, Gov.
Gardner, Gov. Hoppin of r. l Robert C..
Winthrop, Edward Everett, and several s,ran-
gers of distinction.

Political Joke.

A priestly politician, not thousand miles
from Jay in this State, preached on Sabbath
before the election, political discourse, which
he somewhat ostentatously denominated the
funeral sermon Of the whig and democratic
parties, which parties he declared to be dead,
and without grief, regret or respect, uncere-
moniously consigned them to an ignominious
grave.
Immediately after the election, those parties
appearing not only not to be dead, but to be-
rictorious, a witty, thorough going democrat
who had endured the funeral oration with be-
coming christian forbearance, sent his compli-
menis to the Rev. demagogue, with the re-
quest that he would favor his congregation, ON
the approaching Sabbath, with sermon On
the resurrection Argus.

The day before Mr.. Buchanan sailed for
England TO enter on his mission at London, we
spent an hour with him at his lodgings, Astor

THe SISTERS OF CHARlTY.-The members Of
this religious order have recently adopted an
entirely new dress. Their attire has always
been black, bui at the Instance Of lheir superb
ors, they now wear dark gray robe and
white linen hood with a long loose cape Of the
same material and color, which renders them
quite noticeable on the streets. However
much Protestants may object TO the whole mo-
nastie system, they must respect the SerOic de-
votion to the sick and needy which has ever
characterized the . Sisters of Charity" The
Lady Superior of the institution in this city, by
her commanding figure, natural gifts, and va
ried and extensive requirements, may be justly
termed Representative woman" She Is a
native of Maryland, and belongs, we learn, to
one of the most cultivated and opuleDt families
Of that State-BoSton Transcript.
