We publish in another column a letter from a citizen of Louisville Ky., in reference to the recent Outrages, committed in that City by the KnOwii'othings. The papers in all sections of the Union have been filled with accounts of the .bloody affray, and it is not disputed by ;any, of them, but that armed bull ies from the lUw haunts of vice and corruption, calling them4lves Native Amerieant are re- sponsible for the miiniers and ether outrages. `committed =committed in that City: Grey haired men, conducting tliemselves peaCgbly, Nvhen at the - polls to exercre a free man's right were ruth lessly butchered By dritkicen -fiends, claini -1 ing to represent American principles and .to defend Ameritin institutions. , The wretches, , in some instances, - not satisfied with expelling the naturalized citizen from the polls, pursu ed him with the ferocity of blood hounds .to his humble borne, { d cowardly beat his wife and children l or ,tempting with the instinct of natutal a ection,' to pratect and defend him. Every man who 'happened. to come into the • world on the other side 'of the Atlantic, and who attempted to • Vote, was hunted like a wild beast to Ills den cruely beaten and in some instances murdered. And yet the murderers aye sustained lby a large political party and c l . • are converted into , heroes and patriots, for the commjsion brutalities that ought to send them to the penitentiary if not to the - gallows. The liiirsof the land are no longer respected —the life and liberty of the citizens are no ' longer . sectilke: A band of conspirators tram ples upon the 'laws enacted for the preservation of society and the-the fruits of their treasOna ble policy are Irisible in the riots,and butcher- I ies, too frequent in our large cities. But, " for eign influence", must . be put 'dowtr by the zealous patriots,' and the great American principlessusiained. Let us have no more such " Native influence" as we have seen at work in Lomsville and Cincinnati. It is dangerous, and bodes no good to American liberty. I . . Southern Politics. The South Supp+rts the proscriptionists.— She forgets the teachings of her Washington and weds herself to a selfish and despotic pol icy. She ma nifests a willingness to barter away the liberties of the naturalized citizen, in order to extend the-sphere of the traffic in human beings! There would appear to be no principle in Southern politics.. The Con stitution is assailed bi,a band of bigots, and the South is the strong ally of the assailing party. - She Marshals hei.fow, joins in a war upon the rights of a particular lass, ,or sec t, and es:trims up the cry -of • crucify the catholic sud "foreigner!"

We choose toexercise this right of ours, and to bid you "stand off." ! I 'ti The slaveholder demands tl)lat his northern - neighbor shall not distUrb hiin. 01(1 enjoy mentll of his right of property i 'than, and the Catholic with more propriety caP demand that in matters of conscience,he be "allowed to enjoy his own belief, and not be dOprived of eitizenship.in consequence.' li, has been the policy of the south to ion vi rice ius : - 4 that the institution of slavery is a donaes'tie lend docile thing to be subject only to threguiatious im posed upon it by the neighhorlro94 in which it is kept ; that all laws made, with rtference to that iristitution,'ind operating only upOn a particular class, must originate witl4that class. If this be true, then enactments pi:icing dis abilities upon =the membersiof a !particular sect are unjust, and the:metribers own oppo site sect, or belief, haven() right to ItakeNpart , in prescribing' orms of worship to .t reir oppo• vents. -Our Southern - friends hould be consistent, and give a practical i lustration„ of their doctrine, by steadily- op ing the j , party that aims to proieribe the .Catholic and foreigner—the party that interfefes to prevent a man from worshipping God, agreeable to the dictates of conscience. Is the South to gain anything by an alli ance with the molt corrupt and, despotic or ganization-that ever spning into "life in this country I We answer, no. Temporary bene fit may be derived by embracing a wrong, but there will be a lasting injury and loss far, .outweighing the transient profit. There has always been a party at the -North to stand in defence of the constitutional_ rights, c ie the South. A party actuated by right - and noble impulses, and firm in its opposition to tyranny in every form. That party has been the friend 'of civil and religiousifreedont, and is such now. It is battling the hbsts of bigotry to-day; defending the right of trinn to wOrshsp God as hepleases,vindidating the doctrines of the constitution and of the riled who framed it and maintaining the injustice of" taxation without representation." This is.the Demo cratic party, ever willing and ready to pro tect the citizen in the enjoyment of his con stitutional rights—to rnaintu arid enforce the laws. The Sonth will never profit by an alliance with this party's foe. The moment` she places herself in hostility to 4, she is war with the .only party, ever willing. to con cede to her, her constitutional privileges. It is evident too& mind that the selfishness and want of principle the men of the S i buth have displayed in this contest between' the Democraey'and a system of midnight d-pot ism will make their situation more unpleasant hereafter, than they itnegine. Verily, they Rill have their reward.. Very Inconslusfent. 1 Georg La* is said to be friendly to the project for annexing Cuba. Whether his anxiety for the capture of that romantic is land arises from a desire to create 4 _market for the sale of his muskets, or'from al).triot ic wish to plant the stars and stripeo on the heights of the Moro, and to increas; apo litical power of the slave States, 4 de not pretend to judge, The Know Not t, nis of F the Pentisylvania Legislature can deli le that point.
