Speech of Judge Smith.

We commenced yesterday the publication of
the very able speech delivered lately in the
House of Representatives, by Judge Smith, Of
Alabama We trust that its length will not
deter any one from giving it careful and
thorough perusal 1t is mine of valuable in
formation, which will prove Of great use to our
friends, in every part of the country. On the
subject of the evils of foreignism, nothing can
be more conclusive than the facts and argu-
ments he has adduced, and in regard to the
claim of the Pope to exercise temporal uthority
over his followers, he establishes it beyond
controversy. We are pleased to learn that a
very large number of copies of this speech
will be distributed among the people, which
must result, we are sure, in many conversions
to the only true faith. We continue the speech
to-day, and shall finish it tomorrow.

Senatorial Movements.

We have been credibly informed, that divers
Democratic Senators have had in contempla-
ton, and have made efforts towards the adop-
zion Of some plan, by which they can arrest
the progress of Americanism, which is now
sweeping over the country
1t is stated that seuenteen members of the
Senate have once or twice convened and dis
cussed the propriety of agreeing on some effect
i've plan of operations to thwart the movements
Of the people.
Don Quixote made attempts not exactly with
in his power to accomplish, but which, when
made, seemed quite as feasible as the one now
about to be undertaken. The difference in the
positions of the respective assailants is howev-
er much in favor of the honorable Senators.
Don Quixote fought windmills for sport whilst
Senators are to fight for their political exist
ence, and will no doubt fight with desperation.
The results will however, be the same with
honorable Senators as with their renowned
prototype.
Really, a movement by minority Of the
Democratic members of the United States SEN
ate, to oppose the current of popular feeling
which has already carried State after State,
and overwhelmed all other political parties in
its progress, does not seem to us likely to sue
coed, though it possibly may do SO. Some
persons, we are informed, consider it peculiarly
a Bright idea, and others think, Wise one;
but we confess that we are not yet willing to
allow, that it has either of these characteristics
We understand that military Senator,
when called on for his views on the subject,
very promptly said that in military operations,
it would not be good policy, in 6esieged
party, to sally forth in face Of an enemy of
greatly superior force, and at the hazard of be-
ing cut off in an attempted retreat behind
their Notifications! Another Senator fearing,
perhaps that he might be "done Broom" in
case Of an unsuccessful attempt to oppose the
sovereign people, judiciously inquired hon and
by what means it was proposed to put down
this popular movements 1t is supposed these
prudent suggestions will probably postpone
the final decision Of this minority meeting of
Democratic Senators for few days, during
which postponcment the sorerign people will
be kindly allowed to "keep the ball in mo-
ton ~
