From the Washington

From the Washington Union
To the American Party South.
1t is necessary for the rank and file Of the American
party South to consult together in regard to the PLAT
FORM adopted by the national council at its called
session. and the candidates placed upon it by the ma
tonal convention.
The 18th article of the platform of june 1855 an
nounced these four propositions the deliberate
of the American party
LIST. That the existing laws on the subject of sla
very ought to be apided by and mantained as final
settlement of the whole matter, in spirit and substance
and that there ought to be no further legislation bI
Congress on the subject.
I'd, That, whether it possesses the poyer or not.
Congress ought not to egslate the subject of sIa-
very in the Territories
! 81. That il would be violation of the comnac,
between the United States and Maryland, and con
trary to good faith, to abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia.
! 4th. That when new State presents herself for
admission into the Union she has right TO come in
if her constitution is republican, and she has the re-
| quiste population, whether that constitution recog-
nizes prohibits slavery.
1t was very general feeling at the South that we
yielded something too much in pretermitng " an
expression OF opinion to the p0lcer of Congress ia
egislate in regard 10 slavery in the territo les In
most of the southern States the State councils made
platforms stronger this point than the national one
| None made them weaker.
But in framing that platform we were not making
one tor the South alone, but one that Northern con
sentative could safely stand on and it was right
that we should no. ask them to declare one opinion
as TO the power OF Congress, while they entertained
another dametrieally opposite; if they would agree
that Congress OUGHT 10 exercise the power ever
! if it las it.
The June platform does not declare that Congress
ought TO do affirmative act about slavery but on
~ that 1t ought to do nothing.
No southern American, after having once planted
his feet upon that platform. step off of ii to an
other without deserved risk of political ruin and
initiation
No southern man ought 10 abandon, nor can safely
abandon, any OF the four propositions. If he does
the South ought to and will abandon him
The national council, meeting on the call of State.
which had repudiated the June platform, was assem-
bed in February for the purpose of repeating the 18th
article. The Northern took control Of it at the
beginning, upon the wrong basis of representation
and kept that control
Ihe II article, with all the rest of the platform
was struck out, and one substituted.
That new platform declares that the people of E
territory have right to frame their own constitution
and laws when and regulate their own social ant
domestic affairs; but the word slaueru is carefully
avoided; and comedies them not the right but the
PRIVILEGE, OF admission into the Union when shey
have the requisite population.
1t certainly gives up the three first propositions oil
the 18th article and it aUaters the 4th so that il
amounts to little or nothing.

We owe Mr.. Kenan apology for having been
wanting in the usual courtesy Of notice until after
the issue of his third number, but, really, he must
blame the popularity of his paper, which, no doubt
induced some of friends to carry it off from our

papers for themselves. So year, IN Advance.

HENRY CLAY ON CATHOLICIsM.-The following
letter from Kentucky eloquent SON.
was addressed to Gardner JONES' President of the Uni
versity of Notre Dame du Lac, near South Bend In
diana
WASHINGTON, March %, 1850.
DEAR Sir have received and attentively perused
the letter which, at the instance of the President and
Faculty of the University of Notre Dame du Lac,
you addressed TO me the 18th inst. In that letter
they have done the honor to express their appro-
baton of speech Of mine in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, the object of which heal all differ
ences. and amcaby to adjust all controversies, aris-
ing out OF the existence of slavery in the United
States. Such testimony proceeding from highly
respectable body of gentlemen retired from the world
and regarding justly the interests which belong to
another and future state of existence as paramount
to all others, affords me an inexpressble degree Of
satisfaction.
Nor is this at all dmi nished by the fact, that we
happen to profess different religious creeds For |
have never believed that that of the Catholics was
nti American and hostile to civil liberty" On the
contrary, have with great pleasure, and with sim
cere conviction, on several public occasions, borne
testimony to my perfect persuasion that Catholics
were much devoted to civil liberty, and as much
animated by patriotism, those who belong 10 the
| Protestant creed
an not surprised that in the secluson of those
whom you represent, great solictude should be felt
tor the safety and preservation of that Union which
is our surest guaranty Of peace order liberty, and
public happiness hope and believe that dangers
which appeared to threaten il have diminished but
there Is still great occasion for the exercise of spirit
OF concord, mutual concession, and harmony.
request you to present 10 the President and Fa.
clIty assurances Of my respectful acknowledgements
and accept yourself those of your respectful and
