caves to page IA, the eye is arrested at
 hese passages in which he tells what the
 .reat American party leaders have done or
 aied to do:
 But the leaders were unworthy of the people. n some places they shrunk from collision with the
 rrogant and audacious scurrlity of the democrats,
 nd in other places the love of office seduced Ame-
 icans into an alliance with republicans, deprived hem of all national characteristics, and made
 hem the miserable appendages of sectional geo. graphical party, hostile to the Union and dangerous to human liberty.
 The truth is, if those who in 1856, admitted that MT. Fillmore was the best candidate, the safest and purest patriot, had voted for him, he would | have been elected If the Americans had stood | frm-f they had not run away on the first on- l slaught of the enemy, cause would have tri- umphed gorously. But they wanted nerve, they took counsel of their fears. and ignominiously ca pitulated to their opponents, and have ever since | been the hewers of wood and drawers of water to the republican party.''
 "An alliance with republicans"-" mi serable appendages of a sectional party 'hewers of wood and drawers of water to the black republicans" '!
 Why, Commodore, we hinted that the American party were acting with the black republicans, and straightway we were ac- cused of calumny, of islander, and the know nothings here bristled up to us, exclaiming "prove it sir" You have no idea, my dear Comm odore, how virtuously indignant they were at the mere idea of giving the negrophilists aid and comfort. And you. one of their .chiefpriests, their oracle and orator, go further than we and say they were seduced into an alliance, became mi serable appendages and hewers of wood and drawers of water to the republican party. We said they acted with them.- You say they became the servants. We dread the effect this disclosure will have on the Ouachita Herald We hope the friends of the editors will dissuade them from throwing their types and press in the river
 The question of slavery, the Commo- dore dismisses in few words. He opposes the Wilmot proviso and repeal of the Mis- souri compromise. The Pope-the Catho- lie religion-Jesuits, and the dangers of papacy are no where mentioned or alluded to. The great dangers from the spread of Roman Catholicism appear to have vanish ed and popery has become so harmless as to be pretermitted" in this remarkable oration But the Commodore is the cham pion of something, is he not? Oh yes, and what do you think it is? You could not guess in a coon's age. Well then, not to keep you in suspense the gre at Ame rican partee, has taken religion under its especial protection and is the champion of the Biblel The peroration of the speech is sublime. It gives inidels and Jews particular fits" This article has grown so long that we must reserve. until next week, full notice of this pious chute of know nottingham. No more murders and burnings; no more slung- or brass knuckes; no more cries of '' Yorktown" and assaults upon the ballot box, but, in their stead each know nothing shall carry a copy of the scriptures, shall sing psalms with nasal twang, roll up the whites of his eyes and become Puritans all. The new plank, or dodge, or principle, sought to be adopted, is so striking that it deserves separate chapter and shall haveit. Inthe meantime our know nothing friends in Ar kansas may make up their minds to be con verted and to become Roundhcads, of whom Commodore Robert Field Stockton shall be the Oliver Cromwell and Captain Chris topher Columbus Danley, the Praise God Barebones.
