MB A SON OF CLAY DENOUNCING THE SEUILET At a large meeting recently held in Ken tucky, ,J.‘3lEs B. CLAY, a son of the sage of Ashland, and present owner of the family scat, made an eloquent speech denouncing the pi in ciples of Know-Nothingisin. The extract is from the Kentucky 8/Leh...ilia/It : Mr. Clay said that this was his first effort at a public speech, and nothing less than the pro- lion at issue could induce him to appear on this occasion. Never hethre had suchalai such novel questions been presented for the political consideration of the American people. His apprehensions were aroused in view of them, and he sometimes trembled for the fate of his country. - The idea that this government was to he taken into the keeping of a secret, political, ()a:lf-bound organixation, which set up unconiitution:tl lest-oaths, and the mein -I,ers of which wereGo:m(l to each other by the most lei itble ()ling:mons, was to him tno,t alarming. and should, in his judgment, aiouse tile arid' elien:)ious of every pats attic man in the country. Cia,- denied that the platfoi in put forth by Ow late Know-Nothing Cow, ennon 111 Phila delphia, was the real pl.tilOrin of the party : p4i - ty did I call them, said he : no, they ale not a par ty in any pi oper acceptation of the tei in.

No, said he, the true platform of this extra ordinary organization is to be found in their oaths and ritual. There were to be found the things which they were sworn to do and to carry out ; and looking into these oaths and the ritual, he found that their objects were to trike_at_the_cilizens_a_foreign_irth,_a t—th immigrants from other countries, to disfran chise, degrade and disgrace them, by - depriving them not only of the right to .Imei icanize them selves, but by cutting them off from the rights of hospitality and .humanity. , They also sought to disfranchise and degrade another class of our citizens, whether native-horn or foreign, on account of their religious opinions, in violation of the constitution of the country, and regardless of the plainest dictates of jus tice and humanity. .11r. Clay said that, rather than submit any cx nded remarks of his own on these subjects, he had chosen to collate the expressed and au thentic opinions of the old fitthers of the repub lic : and he read extensiv,!lv from the writings of WAS Nt TUN, of J EISFERSt >N, of M A 1)- [SON, of JACKSON. of QI:INCY and others. He concluded his happy effort by saying that though the - old Whig party, with which he had always acted, was broken and dispersed, yet he appeared there as one of the old rear guard of that once powerful and great party : and in that 'capacity lie protested against this new secret organization, as fraught with danger to his conmry and its liberties ; and he called . upon all the old liners of the Whig p arty to join hint in the protest. For the Compiler. , A. Brief Review of the Address of the (so called) American. Executive Com- mittee of Adams County. In the very Address of the very distin guished gentlemen who compose the Executive Committee - of the Know Nothing party of Ad ams county,. the following morsel of strange intelligence has fur the first time been promul gated. _ Read it, American Catholics, and for ever hold your peace ! "Resistance to the aggressive 'policy and corrupting tendencies of the Roman Catholic church in our country, by the advancement to all political stations—executive, legislative. judicial, or diplomatic—of those only who do norhold civil allegiance, directly or indirectly, to nny foreign power, whether civil - or ecrlesi• astical, and who are Americans, by birth. ed ucation and training—thus fulfill - lig the max im, "Atnet leans only must govern Amierica." After this precious : morsel of new /ightisia, the committee go on to say : "In thus avowing our priniples, we wage no war against any' man because of his/oil/I/odor religious belief. We accord to every citizen the right to worship God according to the dic tates of his own conscience, and to avow such °pillions as to him may seem right. We pro- pose no enactments to deprive any citizen of the right to vote or hold ;dfice." This. seems fair—very fair,—but, gentlemen of the committee, you have ,FALSIPIKD the truth. Itead the Oath of the second degree members of your order. What is it ? 1L ell, here it is—or so much of it as wil! answer the purpose of convicting you of wilful misrepres entatia : "Von do furthermore swear, that you will vote, in all political matters, for all political offices, for second degree members of this order, providing it is necessary for the American in teicst. That it' it may be done legally, yon will, when elected or appointed to any office, REMOVE all Aliens, Foreigners, and Roman Catholics, from office,-and that you will in no case appoint suck to office. This. you 'nowise as Americans—to sustain and abide by, with out. any hesitation or mental reservation what ever. So help you (l'od and keep you steadfast." ow, gentlemen o this distinguished corn mittce, how_is_it that you propose mo enact ments to deprive any citizen of the right to hotel (Size!" Does not the Oath you have all taker, compel 'you to disfranchise every Catho lic citizen, whether born in this free Republic. or of foreign birth ? Truth honestly spoken is always the - best policy. You cannot null American citizens by such chip' rap schemes. But, gentlemen. to proceed in further proof that you have wilfully falsified the truth, read this extract from the (lath of the first degree memlairship of your order : "You do lin Owl-more swear, that you will not vote nor give your inlfilenCe l 0 any man fn• any office in the gift of°tl►c people, unless he be an American citizen, u► favor of 'Americans ruling America,' iwi if Ache a Haman Cal hulk." You perceive, gentlemen orthe con►tnittee. that there is no ieservaiion iii tegard to Ameri can Catholics—nor ecc►► of Jrru,Nsni, the cant phrase of the sapient. editor of tlj "Star," which had so niuch to do with the slorllin;; de. velopmesil of Mr. Weihert's removal. Caine, gentlemen, face the music. Let not falsehood and deceit be a part of your creed. G o d knows it is bad enough alitady. You have, all of you. sworn to disfranchi s e every Catholic in this Rept.blic, and you dare not deny it. ONE WHO Ii..NI)IIS Gettysburg, 2ntl Oct., 1555.

" TIWTII IS• MIGHTY, AND WILL PREVAIL." Dear Sir: It is now little more than a year since I had the pleasure of addressing you my first letter. During this time many changes have taken place. both in‘the moral and physi cal world. Our .own beloved country has not been free from these mutations and fluctua tions, which your columns will but too amply • rove4-iVyou-douht-the assertion. Yes, one short - year ago your columns breathed forth, in terms the most eloquent . ; civil and religious freedom in the fullest and most Constitutional sense of the word. So anxious did you ap pear that all Classes and creeds should be pro tected to the very letter in all that pertains to the sacred and inalienable rights of "American Citizens," that-you even thrust yourself and your powerful influence between your Catholic friends and the almost invincible Democratic party, when you conceived the notion that the latter was about to deceive, by pandering to the religious passions .and prejudices of the former. You depicted in glowing sentences the evilethat must follow such a state of things —as well as the insult that it implied towards the' majesty and intelligence of that large and respectable class that was intended to be ope rated upon. To athl force and :importance to your words, you even called to your aid the preachiugs and teachings ,of the "great con servative IVhig party," as well as the shades of those that are long since slumbering beyond the vale of the shadow of death ! Behold the revolution that has 'since come over the spirit of your aspirations and asper sions. ! You are now not only at war with re ligions and races, but you have actually turn ed your sword against the party for whose reputation, a year ago. if loud professions mean anything less than hypocrisy, you would have risked "your life, your liberty, and your sacred honor." Whence comes this? Are principles changeable, or are men more so ? Can we _imagine you to be more wise,'more perfect now than you were a year ago, and therefore en dorse your present positions and opinions—po sitions andopinions that are in direct opposi tion to what you then considered both christiair and constitutional ? if We do, what assurance, what security, can' you give us that one year hence, yoii will nod have left us again, and that" .you --will-not-be-advocating dogmas and doc trines, the reverse of what now shines forth in your -Star Spangled Banner." But, my dear sir, you may wire in and wire out, and brag and banter as much as you please, the great mass of the people, in the mean time will think and judge and act for themselves on the imi;ortant issues that ate now agitating the country. ,. They are acting now. The best and brightest men of all parties, all over the coun try. are openly and firmly condemning the narrow and bigoted course that 'you have ,been pursuing. and_you are now about to be left to yourself and a few oath bounden; midnight plotting ,d ay light shu nuing companions, known as the etuttndyment - 6f the great Know Nothing party. Novelist:4 have often depicted the mani fold evils that have followed what they term ed the "first glass." Moralists have endeavor ed to illustrate - that the "first wrong step" is frequently, attended with a fatality that shapes a man's whole life. Bence the necessity of our guarding against falling into temptation, by giving way at first to what may be calcu lated to troduce a train of conse tietices and oc subject, in proo of oya ty, points.to the, services lie has rendered his country. in all the wars with which she has been afflicted. But it would seem you are determined to persist in perse your Catholic brethren, and you will neither hear. words nor deeds in their defence. As a pretext for this, you willinsist on it that, their religion prevents them from entertaining that respect Mr the laws and the institutions of the country that, thorough Americans must ever cherish. But, you can not point to , a single instance when 4Lholies as a body have nut always observedlhe laws of the land to the very letter—when they did not even speak of them in terms the most Your ‘‘firqt wrong step" then, I conceive to have been the protracted deception that. you courteous and iespectiul. • But how is it with yourself and your Know, practised towards your neighbor Neely last Nothing confederate - 8 t How have you de , fall in advocating and encouragiri,z his election flounced the Fugitive Slave Law, and the law' through your columns, when you knew t he regulating and referring to Territones?
