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

and lair means, but by secret plotting-F. ; by
ca
balistic pass-words, by signs and grips, no
known to the people at large. and in palpable
violation of the whole spirit and genius of the
government.
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.

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

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

frequently, attended with a fatality that shapes
a man's whole life. Bence the necessity of

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
