Col wv. ~. A. Ramsey.

In the House of Representatives, yesterday,
Mr. BoBo, of Lincoln, offered resolution pro-
viding for the appointment by the Speaker, of
special committee of three, to examine in
to the official acts of Col. W. B. A. RAMSEY,
late Secretary of State. The proposition must
have taken the great body of the members by
surprise, as not suspicion has been uttured
against the integrity of Col. RAMSEY whilst
Secretary ofState so far as we can learn. But,
the friends of Col. RAMSEY had nothing to fear
from the proposed investigation, and the reso-
luton was adopted, as matter OF course.
We are at a loss to understand this move
ment. Col. RAMSEY has made one of the most
faithful AMI acceptable officers the State has
ever had, and Mr.. BoBo's resolution looks very
much like stab at high-ninded honorable
man. Mr. BoBo made no charge of malfea-
sance against Col. RAMSEY, nor did he offer
any reason for the proposed investigation, save
in reply to question by Mr.. HattOn, that he
had heard rumors which authorized him to
offer the resolution.
The matter, was, we conceive, brought to
J1e aCI6nIlOu Vi Cno nOusSo, dL al unldNOla OI0
time. The effort was fr st made to attach it
as an amendment to resolution empowering
the joint committee Of the two Houses on the
Penitentiary, to examine persons under oath,
touching the management Of that institution,
which gave to it the appearance of a retaliato-
ry movement, and we have no doubt it was so
regarded by Col RAMsEY's friends in the
House. If Mr.. BoBo has heard of anything
wrong in connection with Col. RAMSEY course
as Secretary of State, it was his right and duty
to have called the attention ofthe Legislature to
the fact, but we must be permitted to say, he
should have chosen more suitable time, so as
not to have given his conduct the appearance
of an exhibition of spleen.
We have the utmost confidence in Col RAM
sEY as a correct man, and his friends, we are
sure, would not shrink from the closest scru-
tiny into his official career He has sustained
the highest reputation for integrity wherever
he is known, and we have not the remotest idea
that that reputation will be dimmed in the
slightest particular by the investigation about
to be had.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-By your consent, Will
make a few remarks in your paper for Theron
masters, railroad men, and others to think
about, for as have spent q part Of my life
with them, and, by the viii of sod, expect to
spend the most of this year in travelling 10 this
and other countries on iron rails, wish to say
or do something that viii promote their inter-
est.
l think the time has come for Theron masters
and railroad men in Tennessee and Kentucky,
to commence making iron rails, and think
Paducah, or Henderson, on the Ohio River,
the best place to do it, 1 think Paducah is
the best place to buy aud sell the metal, and
that Henderson would be the best place to get
the stone coal
make these remarks to start the subject,
and would be pleased to know what you and
others think of it; for we are exporting a
large quantity of pig metal, and importing a
large quantity of iron rails, paying big freights
both ways, and giving work to others. As
think it better to give work to men than mo-
ney, think those that give work and pay to
others do the best acts Of clarity, and that
charity should always begin at home, and we
should try to keep most of our money at home.
You and others will please let us know what
you think of my ideas: the best place, time
and way to make iron rails, for We will want
many of them.
Yours very respectfully.

Squatter SovereigntY.

We should like to be told, if it is not an i'm
pertinent question, what are the opinions of
our knownOthing neighbOrs of the rights of
shareholders in the territories p Union and
american.
If we are one of the "Know- Nothing
neighbors" to whom the Un;on end Amcri-
can puts the above ipterrogatory, we have
to reply that we do not concur in opinion
with Gen. CAss, when he says " the people
Of erery organized territory, possessed of a
legislature, hare the right, thr0agh such legis-
LatUre, to regulate all the relations of do
nestle life-those of parent and child, Of
husband and wife, and of master and SER
want, and Of all similar conditions, and to
introduce or abolish sLar@y, as fully as the
people of State;;" nor with GEO. w. JONES,
when he says in "his opinion the Kansas
Nebraska Act, recognized the full force
and power in all its vigor, of the right of
the people Of the Territories to bgislqte orer
this subject PRIOR TO THEIR ORGAN
IZATION AS A STATE GOVERN
MENT."
These gentlemen are democrats, one re,
siding in free State, and the other in a
slave State. We presume they regard
themselves as sound national democrats;
and as the Union and american has not
dissented from their opinions, we take it for
granted our neighbor also regards them as
sound national democrats, and their doctrine
as sound national democratic doctrine.
Having informed our neighbor, what kind
of doctrine as to the rights of shareholders
and other inhabitants of territories, we do
not concur in, we will oblige him further
and state that we hold the opinion that
shareholders have the right to carry their
slaves into the territories of the United
States, and that the territorial legislature
have no power to forbid their holding them
therein word, we believe, that the peo-
pie of a territory cannot exercise iurisdic-
ton over the subject of slavery, as to its
establishment or abolition, except in the
formation Of a State government This
doctrine we believe to be sound. We sup
pose the Union and American deems it he
retical, inasmuch as it is not the doctrine
upon which the Democracy of the North,
pronounced sound by our neigbor, sustain
ed the Kaasas-Nebraska act in their can
vases last year and the year previous.

whom would deyolve the duty of thinking
for and directing the energies of those less
favored by fortune, aud of filing all the
high stations in the land and conducting
the affairs of Government. Imbibing no.
tons from Roman Catholicism, this may be
good democratic doctrine now. But it is
not American doctrine, and never will be.
The policy of the American Party is to
throw open free schools to every child, ma
tive or adopted, in the country, believing
that in the blessed sunlight of education
bloom love of liberty and all the virtues
which ennoble and exalt human nature.

The American members Of the Legisla-

and adopted preamble and resolution en-
dorsing the National Americans who have

the meeting:
MEETING OF AMERICAN MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE
At a meeting of the American members of
the two Houses of the General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee, held at Nashville on Thurs
day evening, January the 18th, NJ. d. DAVE
Esq, of Montgomery, was called to the Chair
and Mr.. PoGUE, of Wayne, was appointed Sec
rotary, when after the purpose of the meeting
had been explained by the Chairman, Mr..
HATToN, of Wilson, introduced the following
preanl lie and resolution, which were unani
mously adopted:
WHEREAS We the members OF the American
Party in the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, of the State Of Tennessee now in ses-
sion, have observed with pride and satisfaction
the course pursued by the American portion
of our delegation in the House of Representa-
protracted struggle that has been, and up to
the date of our latest advices, was still going
on in that body, in its attempt to elect a pre-
siding officer; exhibiting on their part de-
termined purpose, to secure, if possible, the
triumph Of conservative and truly national
principles, in the organization of the House,
upon grounds free from the radicalism of the
Abolitonist and the Fire-eater, and the sec
tionalism of that class of small and illiberal
politicians both at the North and the South,
who are incapable CT extending their views be-
yOnd the limits of their own portion of the
Union, and who to subserve party purposes,
seem willing to leopard the dearest interests
and brightest hopes of our beloved country.
And
WHEREAS, We feel it to be our privilege and
duty to express our most hearty and unquali-
fed appreciation Of the conduct of our own
American representatives and OF all those who
prompted by the same noble and patriotic con-
siderations, have voted with them, in more
than one hundred ballotings, in said election
for the Office of Speaker. Therefore,
ResOL0ed, That we, the American members
of the two Houses of the General Assembly, of
the State OF Tennessee, this evening, in Con-
vention, assembled, do unanimously and most
cordially approve the conduct of our own Rep
resentatives, and those who, with them, have
cast their votes for Hon. Mr.. FULLER, of Pa,
for the position of Speaker of the U. s. House
Of Representatives.
Upon motion of Hon. N. S. Brown, it was
ordered that said preamble and resolution be
furnished to the American Press of the city for
publication, and that copy of the same be
forwarded to the American delegation in Con-
gress from Tennessee.

War with England An Englishman's
Views.
At public meeting of the Marden Mechanics
Institution, at Manchester, England, on the l4th
December, Mr. Bright, Nj. p, in the course OF a
speech. depreeating the war, said;
"Many of YOU have relatives or friends in Ameri-
ca. That yourg nation has a population about
equal to ours 10 these islands. 1t has a great in
ternal and external commerce. Il has more ton
mage in shipping than have. 1t has more rail
roads than we have. IL has more newspapers than
we have IL has institutions more free than We
have-that horrd slavery at the South excepted
and which is no fruit OF its Institutions but an un-
happy legacy of the past. IL has also a great
manufacturing interest in different branches. That
is the young giant whose shadow ever grows, and
there is the true rival of this country. How do
we stand or start in the race The United States
Government, including all the Government OF all
the sovereign States, raises in taxes probably from
el2,O00, 600 to els, 600 900 sterling in the year.
England this year will raise n taxes aud loans, aud
will expend, nearly el00,O00,000. This popuIa-
ton must raise, and will spend probably, $50, 0O0
900 within the year, more than that population will
raise and spend, and in America there is far less
proverty aud pauperism than IN England
Can We run this race on these terms and against
these oddss Can we hope to be as we'll off a.
America, II the products Of our industry are thus
SWEET away,,oy the tax gatherer; aud in the vain
scheme of saving Europe from imaginary dangers (!
eau poverty be lessened among Us, can education
spread, can the brutality of many OF our popua-
ton be uprooted-can all or ANYTHING that good
men look for come to us-while the fruits Of our
industry, the foundation Of all social aud moral
good, are sQutndered 10 this manner? Pursue the
phantom OF military glory for ten years, and
pend in that time sum equal 70 al the visible
property Of Lancashire and Yorkshire, ard then
compare yourselves with the United States Of
America, and where viii you be ? Pauperism,
crime, and political anarchy, are the legacies We
are preparing for our children, and there Is mo es

b1- A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature of Alabama making an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose of
sending emigrants to Kansas. The Mont
gomery .Adratiser thinks the sum viii be
increased to $4,000 or 500, 900, and the
bill passed. 1t is our opinion that the
money would be much more appropriately
donated, II given TO some one Of the rail
road companies Of the State. II would
then prove of benefit to somebody. South
ern newspapers have denounced with much
vehemence the Emigrant Aid Societies of
the free States, and very justly. II is
rather bad policy to adopt means and APP
planes to~further our own cause, after
having condemned the use Of them by
others.
