gentsth hat have been so affected with an "iuteoss -dnerqcdn JeeJIng," have gin in" and demur- red to the declaration.
 To-day has been glorious day for the time. honored democracy in this county-it being the day appointed for Messrs F. A. Warren and A. Fowler, candidates for the southern congressional district, to address the citizens of Yell county, at their county site (Dahville.)
 At l2 o'clock to-day there assembled large concourse of people at the court house, where Col. Warren led off in his most happy style in | speech of about two hours in length, (having to divide time with his competitor) His speech was one of the ablest have had the pleasure to listen to for many aday--showingup the detormltles and absurdties of the Know Nothing party; l beg pardon, "American party!r' He showed that the American party south was acting in concert with the American party north In regard to the Missouri compromise of 1850, and the passage of the Kansas N ebraska bill by Congress, he said go north and you will find the American party in toto, opposed to the repeal of the Missouri compromise, and opposed to the Kansas Nebraska bill And why! Because it gives all territories north of oo deg. 50 mln upon being admitted into the Unlon, the privilege of being admitted with or without slavery, leaving it to the citizens of the territories, whether or not they would have savery-when by the Missouri compromise all territory north of 36 degrees 30 minutes, upon being admitted into the Union, would be bound to come in as free State, thereby giving the southerner with his slave property no chance of migrating thither without running the risk of loosing his property. Do our laws prohibit northern men from settling in our midst and having their ,0ltte SloUes," if they see proper? | Certainly not. But look at the American party south, swearing eternal vengeance upon the de- mocratic party, Pierce and Congress in particu- lar, for repeating the Missouri compromise just the same as the American party north. 1 We have reason to believe the American party south is not opposed to slavery in its true sense, but they have been deceived by their northern brethren, by being told that the l repeal of the combromise measure was a usur- patton upon their rights
 He completely showed the absurdity of put ting the 5th section in the February platform, which says, no person should be selected for i political station (whether native or foreign born) l who recognizes any allegiance, or obligation of any description to any foreign prince, poten- tate or power, or who refuses to recognize the federal or state constitution (each within it's | sphere) paramount to all other laws as rules of political action" What humbuggery to be ad- 1 vocating such doctrine in platforms at this late day. when the law of our land cover that ground entirely, and who, that has been born in our happy land would presume to recognize allegiance to any foreign power. Our natu- raIization law covers the case of persons of foreign birth. When applications made by them for citizenship, they have in addition to their uninterrupted residence in the United States for five years, to take and subscribe an oath that they will support the constitution of the United States, and that they renounce absolutely and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatsoever, and particularly name the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whereof he was before a citizen, or subject, and also prove by two good witnes- ses his good behavior and conduct in the country he migrated from. He said the whole Know Nothing trick originated in the north and after getting it in good headway, sent it south to dupe the unsuspecting into it's ranks. The whig party having lost it's leader and being aImostabandoned here, the majority of them fell into the ranks of this new whig- Know Nothing trick, together with few of the unsuspecting democrats, and what is the whole upshot of this matter It is this; the abolitionist north thought by such humbuggery as they presented to gull the southern whigs into the ranks, that they (the north) would ride into power-had that been the case you would have seen another convention similar to the one assembled 14th July, 179S, at Hartford. Conn.,, and laws similar to the alien and dse(lition laws passed again. But were to follow Col Warren through all the points he made l would weary your patience
 Col. Warren is able speaker and debator. well posted on national affairs, quick at re- tort. He seemed so confident of his election over his competitor that Col. Fowler asked him if he would bet on it. Warren remarked to bet, was to risk" and he did not consider there would be any risk about that, therefore legally, he conld not bet Col Warren acquitted him. self most glorously, making what few follow CTS '' Sam' had so ashamed that they looked amfl.
 From the reputation Col Fowler had as q lawyer, expected he would do "poUerful'- that if there was any chance for Sam" to don Sunday suit of clothes, he was the man to put them on, but the most of his two hours allotted him, consumed in abusing the administra- tion, the democratic party, and "Jimmy Buch- anan in particular" and had as little to say as , possible about his "intensely' American party, l thought that "old Jimmy Buck would not make 1t for president, thought it wrong for } "h Irish" to come here and build our railroads for us, Americans ought to do it-thought Franklin Pierce done wrong in removing Bronson from the collectorship at New York-thought that Pierce done very wrong in sending to Missis- sippi for Jeff. Davis, and making him one of his cabinet members--thought Mir, Fillmore a very clever man, never done any thing wrong in his life
 So the day passed of very pleasantly. I forgot to mention at the outset that the ladies with all their splendor and beauty, turned out to witness the occasion. You may set old Yell (not Jimmy Yell) down as right side up "with care" The Hon. W.J Parks is our candidate for Representative.
 More anon, DEMOCRAT.
 
 Plea for Kissing.
 The fountains mingle with the ri ver
 The rivers with the ocean;
 The winds of heaven mix forever
 With sweet commotion:
