DEAR SIR As the Black Republicans contin-

OF this Democratic party in relation To Kansas,
and chiefly, as they pretend on he ground that
the bill you introduced into, and which passed
the Senate, is Il fraud inasmuch rs it repeats
only an unimrortant part of the Objectionable
acts of the Kansas egslature will you do me
the favor to answer this question
Does the bill now upon the table of the House
of Representatives, if it shall be concurred in
by majority Of that body and receive the sig
nature of the President, annul all the laws Of
the Kansae Legislature which the Black Repuh

lThundsrs OF applause. The speaker now Alluded
70 inc settlement Of the slavery question, AS estab
hshed by the act Of 1920, under which We lived ia
perfect tranquility for thirty-n years, when an
inbeciie President seized upon the prejudices Of
the south to promote the interest Of mere party.
MY friends, when We hook back TO the high, the
very exalted and patriotic position OF " Old Hcko-
ry, can We now say Of the party of which he was
the acknowledged head q EzceisiorSp MOI The
passage OF that once great and truly patriotic party
has been downward, until it has reached such a
degraded level that it must meet with the CON
demnatlon OF every intelligent and virtuous citi-
zen. lCheers and thunders Of applause
The people of this country have aroused to a
sense oi their duty, and they win most assuredly
restore that peace and happiness which prevailed
In the days Of our patriotic forefathers by triumph
antiy eecting Millard Fillmore and Andrew jack
son Donelson to the two highest Offices in the gift
Of the American people. [yociferations and rounds
Of applause,1
The speaker now alluded to the question of sla-
very, which convulses the Union, and expressed
his Tears that it might result in arraying brother
against brother in every part Of the land
The distinguished speaker who had addressed
the meeting alluded to the secret organization, and
that he would wish to say to all, that there was
not the least secret about this meeting il was
| open and broad as daylight and it was no secret
either that intend to elect our candidates Fill
more and Doneison. = Thunders of applanse.)
| After few more remarks on the Ncbr iska and
anti-Nebraska question, the speaker concluded by
saying that Philadelphia had ever been faithful to
the Union, and that its character cannot be now
changed. Philadelphia, like Pennsylvania, will
| roll up majority for Fillmore and Donelson that
will strike dismay to all selfish demagogues, and
cheer the heart Of every lover Of his country. Mr..
Broom retired amid prolonged cheers, and rounds

MT. MeachAm's Bill

We publish In another column the bill re-
ported from the District Committee by Mr..
Mescham. II will be observed that the first
section contains the words who shall be a
citizen OF the United States at the time he Of
fers to vote" Our present Charter requires a
foreigner to be naturalzed one year previous
TO voting. The municipal election is to take
place in June next and il is important that
the administration should carry this city, and
hence the efforts to force this bill through Con-
grsss. Every Irishman employed on the pub
lie buildings win be voted here The only safe
guard against these frauds has been the proyi-
sion Of the Charter which required years res
idsncc ~ q citizen, because the date Of their
naturalization papers furnished the evidence in
many instances Of fraud attempted to be prac-
tied
This wholesome provision, this guard against
frauds upon the ballot box, is now to be broken
down to suit the purposes Of the administra-
ton, and tho Black Republicans, both Of these
parties are united In favor Of this bill The
National Era and the administration organ
are out y favor Of the bin, showing complete
coalition between the two parties in favor Of
the bill, and Notwithstanding Ill the antipathy
which the administration party in the House
has manifested towards the Black Republicans,
we now have the cvidSnce Of the union to
carry into eject measure, which each party
hopes win be the means Of placing the city OF
Washington under their control In the pas
sage Of this bin consists the hopes Of the Black
Republicans and the Sag NIGHTS. The union
Is perfect and complete, and their joint effort is
TO place the city under the absolute control Of
foreigners.
The next question brought up win be bin
TO abolish slavery in the District: and 10 give
IT the appearance Of justice the bin viii be
submitted to the voters, and the Black gepub-
icans, united with the foreign vote, viii carry
this measse before the people Here, then, Is
the entering wedge TO the hnlment Of one of
the great purposes Of Aboliticnisn The Ma
nono! Era Is shrewd enough To perceive this
result, and hence its earnest advocacy of the
bill. Its object, then, is two fold to place
the municipal government in the power of the
administration, which Is very desirable TO the
Sag NIGHTS, and to abolish slavery in the city.

Extract of letter from an English gentleman
In Spain to his friend in this country.
81 confess of late years l have lost much of
that confidence formerly entertained in the United
States and its institutions; as now think they
are established on no surer basis than those of
other countries, where l have, during my wander
ing life, witnessed so many changes an a constant
downward tendency. Certainly, there is great
falling of, in the representatives of your country
from those remember when the respected names
of Langdon Cheves, Henry Clay, Rufus King,
Christopher Core and innumerable others of equal
merit influenced public affairs. Now, there is an
inferior class brought into your Congress, and the
consequence is, general lowering of the standard
and tone of political life.
There certainly now exists no good feeling to-
wards my country, and l fear the day is not far
distant when designing politicians will bring about
a rupture between the two countries and to graf.
ify the evil passions of disafected Irish, unfortu-
natey too numerous in the United States, much
misery is in store. These Irish are received as
martyrs on your side of the Atlantic but the only
merit | can concede them is that of having left
their country for their country's good They are
