TO THE PATRONS OF
Perham's Third GIFT Enterprise.

At meeting Of tile Committee OF Share.
holders o. Perham's Gift Enterprise, held at
the Academy Hail, Broadway, on Wednes-
day Evening, April l6:h, 1855, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted and
ordered to be published:
Whereas, in view OF the fact that several
enterprises have been started and carried on
with seeming positive purpose of deiraud-
ing those who could be persuaded to purchase
tickets therein; and such fraudulent proceed
ings have exerted an injurious influence in the
sale of tickets in the enterprise OF Mr., Per
ham; and whereas, it is deemed essential that
all the tickets should be disposed of before
the distribution takes place, be it therefore
ReSolred, That in order to allow time for
that purpose, the distribution be postponed
until the 5lh of July, at such place as may
hereafter be determined on.
Re6olusd, That the committee have undi-
minished confidence in the integrity of Mr.,
Perhsm, and in his disposition to conform to
all his published promises to his patrons.

CONFLICT BETWEEN SPAIN AND THE POPE.
Independence of Spain in Civil Affairs.

From the Madrid Correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, September 1, 1855.
You are aware what difficulties the Spanish
Government has met, In its relations with the
Pope. Although, by the concordat, solemn as
sent had been given to the sale of portion of
the national property which had been under
the control of the clergy, yet the Papal Court
imagining that the Carlist cause, supported by
Russia on the one hand and flibustering Amer
lea on the other, would be strong enough to
sustain it, has not hesitated to violate the con-
cordat-to command the Spanish nation to al
ter its laws-and to hurl the thunders of the
Vatican against the most Catholic sovereign
and people of Christendom.
The Government has withstood the shock.
When the Papal nuncio, imagining that his
conduct would frighten it into submission, de-
manded his passports, they were Immediately
sent to him and when the surprised nuncio
announced that he should leave charge daft
faires in his place, he was quietly informed that
the presence of that functionary was entirely
needless. The last document relative to these
affairs, published few days since in the Ga
ceta, concludes with the declaration that " the
Spanish Government cannot recognise the
right which the Holy See arrogates, of proclaim
ing null laws which have been made by the
Queen and Cortes, and of questioning the legit-
imacy of acts performed In strict accordance
with the laws and treaty approved by the Holy
See."
This most unwise attempt on the part of the
Pope has awakened feeling in Spain, which,
only one year since, should have judged i'm
possible. The old sentiment of national indie
pendence is fairly aroused in the Spanish peo-
pie, and they do not fail to recall the many
grievances which they have heretofore quietly
submitted to from Rome.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-10-04

cause the black man, in one section of the
country, had not been placed upon an equality
with the white one! For nothing else.
We have presented this question in a practi-
cal point of view, and we tell our fellow.citi-
zens, that they should discourage and discoun-
tenance all who come here to plant the mortsrs
of disunion, as the Southern press and this Bal.
lean Era have done. From this station thsy
are projecting the bombs of discord into both
sections. 1t is but recently that the Blackeys
attempted to organize in Washington for he
purpose of specializing upon politics by az a
ting the practical enslaving the few negroes in
this District, by imposing upon them the hssd-
ship of having to clothe and feed Themselves
an obligation which now rests upon their mas
tiers. The object of this is very plain. 1t is to
foment sectional strife, and bring about dis
union, or sectional conquest.
So soon as disunion shall have been effected,
of course these Blackies would Fly off to some
more congenial climate. They would give no
tce to their disconsolate landlord, pack up
their type, publish valedictory, and depart. to
collect the arrearages and wages of mischief
due them. The people of Washington would
repair, as they best might, the destructive ca
lamity inflicted upon them by malignant and
INSCRIPTIONS politicians. Let them beware of
these insdious vipers.

From the Missouri Democrat, Sept %.

From the Missouri Democrat Sept %.
Stephen A. Douglas "defned his position
last night on the steps at the west wing of the
Court House, to crowd of some two or three
thousand persons. The fame of the little giant
had proceeded him many days, and much curl
osity was manifested to see and hear him.
He began his remarks to the very good ma
tured and curious crowd by discussing fanati-
cism as developed by the passage of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, and denouncing the men of the
North who pronounced the measure unconsti.
tutional. The Fugitive Slave Law was consti.
tutional, and should be enforced and obeyed.
He then passed to discussion of the principles
embraced in the Kansas Nebraska bill, and
dwelt some time upon the position that Congress
had no right to interfere with the local laws of
the States or Territories.
He had been requested, by a note handed him
from the crowd, to give his views upon the late
Kansas troubles, and what he thought of the
interference of the Missourians in the elections
in the Territory. He said he had been asked
that question in Illinois as we'll as here. He
would answer here in the same manner he did
there. He was opposed to any interference on
the part of any State or people with the inter.
nal regulations of the Territory; but while he
was ready to declaim against the wrongs COM
mitted by Mssourians, he was open to denounce
very, undertaken by regular organized societies
in Massachusetts, who had marched through
Chicago with banners and devices, and travel
led up the Missouri river into Kansas, with the
sole intention of making it free State.
The speaker in this portion of his remarks
displayed the cunning politician most unmis-
takably. He inveighed against both the acts
of Massachusetts, and Missouri, but dwelt in
such violent terms upon the acts of the former
State, that the outrages of the latter seemed as
nothing in the scale between the two, thereby
accomplishing what he had designed hattery
of the South. He made special and bitter
allusion to certain body of men who had pass
ed through the North into Kansas, and became
actual settlers; but had nothing to say against
Davy Atchison and his followers, who crossed
the borders, and, with pistols and bowie-knives,
made foray upon the rights of the people at
their elections, and then retired to their homes
again, to gloat and boast over the lawless vic
tory. The Little Giant is too careful of hurting
Davy's feelings. 1t would look bad to see such
friends and co-workers in Congressional villa
MES abuse one another. Verify, there is hon.
esty among rogues.
After long discussion of the rights of Kan
sas, and the wrongs committed by nearly every
body else but himself in regard to these rights,
he went into philippe upon Know N othing-
ism. A large part of the crowd were of the
Southern midnight order, and had been cheer
ing tremendously during the evening; but, as
the speaker took his position, and denounced
their principles so wholesaledly, their hurras
subsidized somewhat, and the Anti-K Know Moth
ings were observed TO give forth"
