Mr.. Forter,s speech.

Wepublish to-day the speech Of Mr.. Foster,
of Georgia, defining the position Of the admin
istration party in the House of Representatives
upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and showing
that that party has placed itself upon a mea-
sure, which is construed differently by the
Northern and Southern wings Of the party.
The country should understand this position.
A mere measure is not principle, and the
people should not be hoodwinked by any such
trick as that which the administration is at
tempting to play upon them.

Daniel RatcIiac, of Dumfrlcs, virrini,

We take pleasure in announcing to our read

Radcliffe, Of Dumfries, Virginia" has been
elected Grand Sachcm Of the Sag NIGHT As
sociation, in this city, known by the name Of

got either place. We have always understood
that Mr.. Radcliffe was resident Of this city,
but IL seems from his signature to the Sag
NIGHT constitution that he Is "of Dumfries,
Virginia" Dumfrios is small village in vir-

fuence Of its inhabitants, win be entitled TO a
foreign mission under the next Sag NIGHT adj

tho Department." Mr.. King says, "my ansDer
,0as that IL did" This of course was serious.
We cannot comprehend, therefore. the reason
why Mr. King should "laughinglye inquire
into matter which was obviously one OF sub
stance and of grave import in deciding upon
applications, at the Department Perhaps Mr..
King can escape from this dilemma.
Mr.. King himself now admits that the De-
partment "not only did not appoint Know
Nothirgs, If it knew it, but turned them out
whenever good Democrats were recommended
for their places" Now, we take issue on this
last point if Mr.. King means to say, that none
but "good Democrats are appointed in the
places OF elected Americans We can point
out Wings, (Catholie Whigs,) and all sorts Of
Catholic foreigners, who have been appointed
to Office in that Department. Will Mr.. King
deny thise AS to the answer which was &C
tually given to Mr.. Puryears last very import
ant question, and as to the form of his ques-
ton, we doubt not the country will credit Mr..
Puryear's testimony.
But Mr. King has in the last clause of his
letter assumed as true, what none but dema-
gogues will assert to be SO, to wit; that the
american party denies the obligations I'M
posed and the rights secured by the Constitu-
ton " to foreigners There is not shadow of
truth in such assumption, come from what
quarter it may. It is the most idle and silly
twattle ever, uttered by political partisans. 1t
is the mere clap trap Of pot-house politicians,
and we are only surprised that q gentleman Of
Mr.. Kings position and information should
have been led by political zeal, and partisan
sympathy, to adopt and endorse so bald and
ridiculous calumny against the American
party.
Show us, Mr.. King, the obligations i'm
posed" by the constitution, which the Ameri-
can party seek to evade! Show us the rights
secured" which this party seeks to destroy
We do not ask that you show us that any or
ganized portion Of the American party seek to
evade constitutional obligations, or to destroy
constitutional rights, but we challenge the
proof that any one recognised and responsible
member Of the party has attempted the one
or the other. MOI no Mr.. King, it is poor
compliment, even to this rickety administration,
to intimate that the obligations imposed, and
the rights secured by the constitution can Do
denied by any man or party, to the poorest beg
gar in the nation.
There is no portion Of the American party
that seeks to eyade, or eren to change, the
Constitution. 1t is emphatically the party Of
the Constitution and the Union" One Of
our oldest and most cherished principles is the
following, and from it we shall not deviate
"We shall maintain and defend the Consultation
it stands, the Union 1t exists, and the rights
Of the States without diminution as guaranteed
thereby: opposing at all times, and to the extent
of our ability and influence, all who may assall
them, or either Of Them

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks shawls should be
worn by the masculine gender for the following
rhyming reasons:
"If you want to be in fashion, wear a shawl; If
to ladies' an attraction, wear shawl; If to sheep
and COWS terror or like shapghais in full feather,
or even rage upon the heather, wear a shawl; II
your hips are badly moulded, or your shirt and vest
unfolded or unpleasant to behold, wear shawl I;
if you're counting some fine lnnet wear shawl !;
you might wrap your lassie In it, in your shawl.
It's like charity on pins, and hides multitude Of
sins-although it causes grins-does your shawl.
IL you wish to be dandy wear a shawl. In a
word, it is most useful article--and may wrap
your feet, head, body, knees, make seat, a blan-
ket, bed, a nun, pillow, a wrap-rascal, or a
Scotch plaid of your shawl"

and Rupture Wash are certain means of security
and relief in the worst stages of the atfction.
The Truss has gained popularity nnequalled
by any other for the following advantages First,
its facility Of adaptation and application second,
its anatomical arrangement preventing it from
chatting and cxcorating the body; third, its com
fort and security in any position of the body; +;
fourth, its slight Inconvenience to the wearcr un-
der every kind of exercise fifth, its certainty to
remain upon and close the hernia ring; sixth, its
aptncss to contract and finally to remove the tumor
when used in conjunction with the hernia wash.
The proprietor would simply remark to those
afflicted with Rupture that he has devoted many
years to the study and treatment of the complaint
in its various stages, and feels himself fully quail
fed to select spring and compress of the right
shape and bearing to suit any case that may be
