SPEECH OF THE Hon. Gro. G.
McWnoRrER According TO the APP
pointment, for Wednesday night,
A,dge McWhorter, met d large num-
Der of citizens in the Hall Of the
House of Representatives, and for
nearly an hour, was listened to, with
profound attention, on that interest
ing subject the " Politics Of the day"
The Judge opened his discourse by
calling attention to The fact, that he
had been ungenerously dealt with,
on two or three occasions, in the local
columns Of one of the daily papers of
this city. He read the notices and
commented upon them at length,
before coming to the subject matter in
hand.
The secrecy of the American party,

be embraced, in the sentiment. that
EAmericans shall rule America -
he showed in very lucid manner
how necessissary it is at this juncture
Of our history, that American educa-
ton, should prevail in the council, Of
the nation He dwelt with force on
the established principle, in the ma
ture Of all men, to love their country
fist above all others-and be claimed
for Americans the same national and
patriotic feeling, awarded to the bal
ance of mankind. The gentleman
gave many cogent reasons, why there
should now grow up conservative
national party, to check the growing
evils Of the time-cited the testimony
s2f respectable party organs to show
the Decentralization of the Democrat
ic party and then came to the relig-
ious questionable last opinion of
that hybrid nondescript in politics
and religion, Mr. 0. A. Brownson,
was referred to, and other corrobora-
tive evidence of the fact, that, the
church of Rome seeks to WELD an
influence in this nation, the same as
has disgraced nearly every page in
the history Of the old world. On
this subject the Judge spoke with
feeling eloquence-he referred to the
ticket Of the American party, with
three catholics upon it, to show that
Louisiana is not in favor of religious
proscription--and cited as a most
singular anomaly, Mr.. Mo1sE, Jew,
by birth, on the stump defending a
sect Of the Christian religion, against
itself.

The Hon. l.. j. Stgur-s Speech.

A large audience Of ladies and gen
tlemen, assembled at the State House
on Thursday night, to listen to the
Hon L. J. Sigur, on the politics Of
the day. we did not get in when he
commenced, all therefore lost the first
part of the address. Mr.. Sigur ar
gued the questions Of the day, in an
eloquent and dignifed manner-re-
ferred to books and papers before him
for evidence of the truth Of what he
said, and referred to events of history
with remarkable precision and accu-
racy. The secrecy of the Know No
things, was dwelt upon as the most
abhorent and anti-republican feature
Of .ke order. The secret oathes and
obligations, were dwelt upon at length
in ttaaeir influence and tendency to dis
organize society. Mr.. Sigur read
parts, of what he said was the con-
stitution of the order, and its ritual,
to show that each member is pledged
not to vote for any but Native Ameri-
cans for office, and not to support Ro-
man Catholics, or others; acknowl-
edging allegiance to foreign, temporal
or spiritual authority. He said that
native Americans, having Catholic
wives, are alike prescribed. Mr.. 81
CUR cited, passages in revolutionary
history, to show that many Of the &C
tors in that stirring period, we're for
eigners-among the signers Of the
Declaration Of Independence, he said
there were sis-that Washington had
selected for the principal
ofic'Gin his gift, Alexander Hamilton,
an English subject. Of the officers
in the continental army, he said there
were too many foreigners to weary his
audience with q recapitulation Of their
names. The gentleman held to the
opinion throughout his argument, that
an adopted citizen Of three or FIVE
years residence, could have as strong
feelings of allegiance, as those ma.
tive and to the manner born" Mr..
Sigur warmed up as he proceeded
with his argument. At eleven o'clock
we came away At tvelpe. we learn
that the Hon. G. G. McWhorter asked
to know it The speaker would continue
on to daylight ? lie thought that the
Know Nothings had been challenged

sion" After a few moments, there |
was cry for "Allen,' Col. Allen, who
then addressed the audience in answer |
to Mr.. Sigur.-Friday morning had
come into existence, before the parties
were satisfied.

A VERY SINGULAR ENDOWMENT
A. G. Bullitt, Esq, of Louisville, KY,
in accordance with what he believed
to have been the wishes of Lis deceas-
ed wife, Ci,as placed at the disposal of
the Trustees of heChristian Universe
ty fifteen thousand dollars of her estate
for the endowment of chair, to be
called Professorship of Sacred Litera-
<sre.
We make no doubt, that some one
not otherwise employed, can be
found to take a chair made comforta-
bic with fifteen thousand year. But
the question will naturally arise,
what is Sacred literature. Man
has been making war on man, to de-
eide this question since the world be-
gan and yet is he as far from it, at
this moment, as at the beginning.
A HAPPY IDEA.-A correspondent
Of the True Delta, suggests that the
balance in the City Treasury, as per
report, at the last sitting of the Coun-
Gil, be invested in Havana Lottery
tickets, with the hope of drawing the
hundred thousand dollar prize. He
says the balance on hand, though
small, will be squandered anyhow,
and by investing it in the lottery
business a prize may be drawn.
The State Treasury, is not SO we'll
off. IF the State desired to take a ticket
in the Lottery just now, it would have
to borrow the money. The general
fund is overdrawn about $50, 900, and
many claims unpaid.
