The true Democrat., 1856-08-19

1t was he question of the canvass. His argu- ment on this point was an awk kward revamp of the speeches of Smith, of Alabama and other Know Nothings, delivered in the Congress of the United States, when this secret organiza tion was taking "incipient steps" to pretermit the bold action of the democratic party.
 He next, after having stated that the Catho- lie question was not properly question in the canvass, took up the subject and denounced them generally, specially and particularly. He first went to Rome, and there belabored at great length, the poor old Pope, and as the priest passes round the cathedral with his cross, pay ing his devors to each scene suspended to it's walls so did the Judge pass around the vatican, and at each painting poured out the phials of his wrath and indignation. From the Pope he passed through the lower grades of Catholics not permitting the poor sisters of charity and mercy, even to escape the vengeance of his po- litcal ire. At this point he became so electri- fled with Professionalism that he broke out of eloquence into music, and while he sung the song of "How happy are they who their Savior obey" good old democrat proposed that he should call up the mourners. This served to bring to his mind the subject and the occasions and also, the fact that he was trespassing great ly on the courtesy of Gen. Hempstead when he referred about five minutes, to MT. Fillmore admitting his Erie letter bad record, but said he could also say hard things of Mr. Buchanan, but would not. As to our uncle's wife's ne- phew, he never mentioned his name, not even the Andrew Jackson part of it. Upon the whole, what of reading pamphlets, books, news papers, etc., and occasionally throwing in his own views by way of parenthesis, he made long Know Nothing speech, and justly earned the sobriquet of the carpet knight of the can vaSs. Every one, however, is well pleased (personally,) with the Judge, and regard his indiscretion and trespass on our time, as more attributable to the fact, that he was feshng his maiden political sword, than to any actual in- tention to do his political opponents injustice 'Tis true, one old lady did rather captously re- mark, when speaking of Grace and Sutton, that she (" rally Ueevea these No Notlin 'lectors wors long Jeards case they '0ere ashomea to s1oo thar ytaces in honest oH djmocratjc Arkansalo ;' but even she acknowledged that she had "no refer ence to any allusions."
 After the Judge concluded Gen. Hempstead came forward, and with all the disadvantage of time, made successful and triumphant reply ]; yes, sir, and the democracy of Drew will make this good when the proper time arrives Gen. Hampstead first showed that Hale, Trumbull, Durkey, etc, had not acted with the regular democratic party since their utilization with the freesolerS, and that all and each one of them United States through the influence of this new secret organization that they were run as its candidates and elected that it was the fruits of some of the first Know Nothing victories, which were heralded through the south as glorious American triumphs. Like apples of the Dead Sea, they have crumbled at the southern touch. They had sufficient identity to kick the 12th section out of the American platform, but still the Judge would like to call them democrats. The charge fell to the ground, as it justly should.
 The General next defended Mir. Pierce in his appointments-howed that in appointing Judge Campbell and Mir. Soule he had selected men who stood high with their party in their own State, and who were men of mark cd ability. He considered the charge of one being a Catholic, and the other foreigner, not good objection. He defended the President in his views on the Kansas bill-defended the bill itself; showed that it did not embrace the doctrine of squatter sovereignty that Congress had only conferred such power to the territories as it possessed, and as Con- gross had no right to egslate on the subject of slavery, neither could the territorial legislatures, who received their power from Congress more over, that their action was bound to conform to the principles of the constitution In reference to the Kansas N ebraska bill allowing foreigners to vote who declare their intention to become citizens, etc, he showed that, on that subject, ~ "''S "Aio'' "h oAoNo SoPy iiOii tuO Ulll organizing the territory of Washington, which was approved and signed by MT. Fillmore.
 On the Catholic question, he placed himself on the constitutions of the United States and the State of Arkansas. He was no Catholic. but merely defended the principles of the con. sttuton and opposed bigotry and religious intolerance. He showed, from the humber of Catholics, that they were not dangerous and urged, Tn favor of tolerance, the number of Catholics who were in our armies during the revolution, and several of them distinguished officers. He showed that while Catholic France was aiding us in securing our liberties, Protest ant England was trying to rivet the letters of tyranny; and, finally, that it was a question out of place, when introduced upon the politi cal rostrum
 Upon the naturalization question, he showed that Mr. Jefferson was opposed to fourteen years probation, and, therefore, would be much more, if alive, opposed to twenty -one years :; that he initiated the father of his country in approving and signing the present law which he defended.
