% AT the close of Mr.. Breckinridges last
term in Congress the Louisville Journal paid
HIM the following handsome compliment. IT
is in very few words. but to the point:
"The Hon. J. c. Breckenridge. in letter TO
his constituents, declines reelection TO Con-
gress. He will be much missed in that body.
His great urbanity, his perfect fairness, and
his powerful talent made him one of the very
foremost of its master spirits. He has ma.
tional reputation, and nobly has he won it,"
TROUBLE AMONG THE JoHNs-Mr. Littleiohn
said, in the Philadelphi Convention, that he
would "sacrifce all things to secure the cleo
ton of Fremont A Boston paper thinks
there will be great sacrifice of big Johns. lit
tie Johns, and demijohns, TO wind up with The
sacrifice of John Fremont himself.
GRATIrUDE.--A biographical sketch of Col.
Fremont states that he was educated by some
ladies' Of Charleston S. c., at their own ex-
pense. He shows his appreciation of their
kindness by leading a crusade against the
Southern States.
LOOKING AHEAD-It was urged in the late
Black Republican Convention that, in four
years, the spread of Republcansm would en-
able the convention to go TO Richmond, Va,
or Lexington, Ky.
If they come here, it will be as Col. Burr
came here, some years ago, to be tried for their
lives. And short shrift, and a long rope,
would they have.
FREMoNrs LKENEss.-The New York Til
bune has published wood-cut likeness of
Fremont, which some persons say is an old
likeness of Kossuth The woolly horse can
didate has heap of beard. We should say
that, like Prof. Stowe, he has made VOW not
to shave till the fugitive slave law is repealed.

in the town the Democrats had their commissioner,
and if there was wrong done, their commissioner
was derelict If he etood by and saw wrong per-
petrated; but there was no cause of complaint.
Now, as to the opposition party making no rally.
What was the meaning of that large and enthu-
sastic meeting" on Saturday night previous to the
election, which held in the garret or cock loft
| OF Exchange Bockf Was there NO rally in that ?

meeting, and Mr., +. L. Brocket of the "opposi-

fact, all their proceedings think 1t win convict
'.Amr Of misrepresentation, If nothing else.s An
other thing Ami complains of was, that citizens,
naturalized within two years, were excluded from
the polls; and yet we find not one of the Demo-
cratic Commissioners raised their voices against It.
| 1t Ia not true; never saw more harmony in all
my life, than existed with the Commissioners on

Some of the |" CONSTITUTIONAL = Ntrick O'Fla-

cause their papers were not fixed right" They
were in several dated the day before and the
Commissioners opposition and all believe that by
the constitution and laws of this State that they
are not citizens until they naturalzed, and that
they must reside two years in the State after they
are naturalzed before they are qualified to vote
Native-born citizens Of any other State must re-
side in this two years before he vote, and why
should not foreigners be required to do the samel
The Commissioners are borne out in their decis

of Virginia, and II. Winter Davis, of Maryland,
The fact la Ami is sore under the defeat made
4 by that invincible army Of free and nativc-borr
citizens, called the American party; he expected
much, and was disappointed; he looked dismayed
when he saw, as did, his Democratic friends tina,

ImrnigratiOn.

The Washington Union of this morning
contains an article over the signature of L. S.,
stating that the writer perceiyes with "doleful
.tselings,n Z that immigration to this country
reached only 28O,476 in 1855, against AGO, ,474
in 1854, showing decrease Of about 230, 900,
or falling off Of one-half, and that this de-
crease was .'caused BY the political ascendsncy
ef. the Rnoto- Nothings," We confess that we
do not participate in the writer's "doleful feel
ings " at seeing this result; for, whilst we do
not oppose the immigration hither, Of honest
and industrious foreigners, we shall be quite
content to see the immigration reduced to hall
the present influx, and to be so ,sifted as to
embrace none but those who will prove truly
valuable acquisition to the country.
\ We apprehend thnt the writer of that article
is mistaken, if he supposes the right minded
people of the United States will oppose Ameri-
canism on the ground that its rise and ascend
ency would tend to diminish immigration. We
would at least venture the opinion, that the
people Of this country prefer that immigration
Should only keep pace with its absorption into
the masses of Olr countrymen, and not that
our seaport towns and seaboard should again
exhibit those scenes Of penury, wretchedness,
crime, recklessness, and mobocracy, which
have been so often witnessed within the last
few years, and which resulted from the out
pouring Of European hospitals and prisons.

From the American Banner.
Another Insult from Foreigners

The Germans Of Galena, Ill., have recently as
sembled as Gtrnaa1s, to express their views upon
American politics. They met in an American
Court House, and on American soil, to listen to an
address from the editor Of German paper, who
instructed them in their duties as Germans. Among
other resolutions passed, are the following.
ResofJed, That we, rs true Democrats, for the
present will preserve our independence Of all po-
litical parties, and 90 only for principle.
Resotved, That We will support only such candi-
dates for State officers az are opposed to the Me-
braska blu end to Know. Nothingism.
Did "true Democracy admit of a German CON
struction in this country, the Revolution would
long since have proved curse, instead Of bless
ing. When foreigners enjoying our hospitality as
they do, assume to act up stepdard Of "Demo-
cracy' which proscribes portion Of ther bsnetac.
tors 1t is high time that the birthright qualifica
tion for Office and voting should be established.
The p years probation Is entirely too liberal for
these fellows. Such insulting threats as are con-
taped In the above resolutions, are web calculated
TO make Americans suspicious and dstrustfnl of
all foreigners and did not the more sensible con-
demn that portion Of their misguided coantrymen,
their presence would be scarcely tolerated among

AMERICAN GRAND CouRcIL THE Grand Coun-
Gil OF the American Order adjourned on the even.
ing OF the 2lst ult, to meet nc New York ON the
second Monday Of June. The session. though
stormy and exciting, was characterized, in the
main, by spirit Of conciiation-a yielding Of local
preadices and partaties for the good of the great
national cause--most commendable, and augurne Q
the happiest results for the future success and
utility Of the order. There were hot heads, fire.
caters, and a few fanatics among the delegates. but
their reckless efforts, on which the Black Repnt.
Leans most confidently calculated final blow up,
were all finally nentrazed by the steady good sense
and nrm patriotism ct the leading spirits. The
Philadelphia platform of last June, with its ill-ad
vised and most unfortunate 18th section was
stricken ont by large vote, and one of high
toned national and purely American character sub
stituted by vote of l0s to ~.
The Order is thas restored to its original unity,
despite the plans, treachery and predictions of its
enemies, within and without. Just such platform
as this lsee 1t in another column) ought to have
been adopted last year. II would have saved Ameri,
cansin the North world Of trouble and effectualy
protected them from the frauds and bypocrsies Of
their worst enemies. 1t is right, because it EN-.
braces the true principles Of the Order and leaves
no lodging corner for double-faced politicians 10
screen their trickery. All sectional and local qucs-
tons are properly excluded; otherwise it could
not form the basis Of National party. The repre-
sentatives, after it's psssage manifested the great
est unanimity in their determination to support it.
and adorned in great harmony and good fealing
to push the great work Of the campaign in their
respective States and districts.
