Southern orators As Qutman, Orr Of South Ca

semby together by Democratic and State Rights 40
peals' which are heartily responded to, wherever in
the Whole broad Union the truly Democratic and
States Rights men meet together. We quote Mr.. Orr
OF South Carolina, who thus spoke to Tbs Democracy
III Tammany Hall:
u come to speak 10 you Of Democracy and of De-
mocratic principles and 10 see i! the Democrats o
Ne" York stand on the same platform as the Dcmo
Gratis ut South Carolina icherrs even as nv -rud
friend Quitman would inquire il yOu are like unto the
Democrats OF mississippi lApp!ause
"teow.citzens, we ure the only national party in
this Cmiun. The only party in which one thu, j. a
member can rise in his Congressional District. and
then be- transported might almost sav on ,hs winn-
Of The wind to New York, to Massachusetts. or to
Maine and everywhere lind the political senti-
ment cherished"
In the language ot the Mobile Register, where e!se
and before what audience, other than Democratic
one, in non.slavrhoding Stato can such words be-
addressed with trul!. and sont back to tho speaker
with choerl The Cincinnati Convention will de.
monstrate the nationality VI the Democracy-and
then thousands of Southern Wings and "!.mcricans"

ton of the school fund, and continued
1T recently in his attack upon Gen.
Cass for what he said in the Senate
about Roman Imprisonment of people
for reading the Bible, and upon Louis
Kossuth for the efforts he had made to
overthrow the Catholic dcspotism of
Austria. The Catholic press can bear
testimony to these statements, too.
Fact the eighth is, that Louis Kos
suth, after trying in vain to reconcile
the American people to declaring war
against Russia, Austria and France,
caused his disciples and followers to
publish a platform of principles which
was full of treason to the greatest prin-
clples and compromises upon which our
Union and Government are based, and
instructed them to form their secret
political associations in every city,
town and village of the United States,
"looking to the exercise of more po-
tent influence over the government of
our country" The proof of this is to
be found in his letters.
Fact tie ninth is. that Brownson' s
declarations, as above mentioned, and
the principles proclaimed by the Ger
man Infdels protesting to be disciples
of Kossuth, conclusively show that au-
dacious foreigners in our midst under
took to prescribe and domineer over
American citizens before Know No
thing organization was known, or even
thought Of, and that to make this pros
cription of American citizens effectuaI,
the foreign-born Papists and German
lnfde!s had organized their political
associations in all parts of the country,
and thus made the organization of A
merican Secret Societies for counter
acting such FOREIGN designs, an
absolute necessity in the Judgment of
every true American, patriot.
Fact the tenth is, that in view of
these doings of foreigners, and the obi
Gus moral and political principles in
troduced into our country by them, the
present effort of the American party
for ridding our Government of such
influences, is equal in Importance to
the struggle of our fathers for inde-
pendence of the British Grown, and
that every man who votesragainst tho
candidates of the American party,
votes for his own political degradation,
and aids in delivering up his country
to foreign rule and dominion. Let no
one mistake the ssue.--Bah. Clipper.

FROM MEXICO.

The Archbishop of Mexico has pub
lishod protest against the decree of
desamorti=acion' just issued by the
government. He states that he writes
in conformity with the counsels of his
chapter, which he had convoked on the
subject, that his oath obliges him to
protect the property of the Church,
that he cannot comply with the decree,
and that he will not resist it, but will
passively take the consequences Of not
obeying it. He argues that the execu-
tion of the decree would not have the
effect alleged, of bcnefitting the present
poor holders, because, in the first place
the lands will fall into the possession
ofrich spectators, and, in the second,
these have always been rigid and OPP
pressive landlords, in comparison with
the Church. He also alleges that the
Church has always been amongst the
foremost to aid tho government, with
out any other hope than the liberty of
their country. Gammom!l

Mr.. @. Cotton, the author of the
Biography of Henry Clay, recently
addressed note, as our readers have
seen, to the editor of the n. Y. Times,
confirming our statement that the two
paragraphs in the Biography relative
to Mr.. Buchanan's approaching Mr..
Clay in Mr.. Letchcr's room, in Janu-

Gen. Jackson, were written by Mr..
Clay's own hand, Mr.. Cotton further
states, in his note to the Times, that
Mr.. Clay, on furnishing him those pa

Gov. Letchor sueak, or let the deem
