Dear Sir: 7 4. have your favor of, the 28th ult., and the Whig paper containing the eatkact quoted and hasten to give it a reply. The assertion contained in this extract, is a part of the political machinery the Whig party have put in operation, to obtain the votes of that por tion of our party, who resfess the Catholic faith I say a part 01 the machinery ; for they have la bored insidiously, for some time past, to persuade the voters belonging to that sect, that the war with Mexico; is waged for the purpose of exter- 1 minating the Catholic religion. It is humiliating to find that any portion of our people, are ready to take part with the enemies of their country..—are ready to tie the hands, to para lyze the efforts and energies, of their country's au- 1 thorities, when it is engaged in war;—but there are such men.-and it is the duty of all who love their country, to aid in frustrating their designs, and to aid in bringing upon them, public odium and public indignation. With regarff to the justice of the war with Mexico, it seems scarcely worth while to spend time and use of paper to defend it. Texas had fought :for, established and secured her Indepen.' dence. She was as much a sovereign, independent nation, as were the United States or Mexico. Be ing a nation, she had a full and indisputable right to dispose of her sovereignty in such a manner as her people, by their suffrages, might determine. In pursuance of this right, - she was, by the solemn sanction of her people, fairly, fully and legally an nexed to, and became an integral part of, the Uni ted States of America ; and the United States was as much bound to protect and defend the people, of what had been Texas. as those of any other portion of her:soil. Our army was placed on the frontier, and was attacked on what was claimed as soil of the United States, by an army of Mexi• co. Thus began the present war ; and it could not have been avoided by the United States, with out dishonor and disgrace. But say some, the territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, was in dispute. Mexico de nied that it was any pc;rtion of Texas. Admitted. But why did they refuse to treat with our govern. ment, and drive away our minister. Whether that territory Was or was not a portion of Texas, was a question that could only have been settled by negotiation ; but Mexico chose to send an arm ed force to take' possession, rather than ministers of peace to negotiate, and she has no right to com plain when she receives the consequences of her rashness. Nor can there:be the least cause -of complaint by Mexico or her friends, as to the manner in which the war has been conthicted. Atter every victory, upon the surrender of every Mexican for , tress, a messenger of peace from our country has appeared, offt-ring to negotiate. The people and the government 5f the United States desire peace,. but not with dishonor. If Mexico had offered to! negotiate—and if in negotiating, our government had proposed terms that were dishonorable, and degrading to her—then she might have cause fur continuing the war; but in her present position, she has not the least shadow of cause for complaint And the insinuation, that this war is a war upon the Catholic religion, because that is the piedomi mint religion of Illezieci, is quite too contempti ble for the notice,ti intelligent men. Was the war which secured the Independence of Mexico, a war against the Catholic religion? By the result of that war, the Spanish government, the establish. ed religion of which, was Catholicism. w•as entire. ly driven from Mexico. But the religion was un disturbed. It would be as reasonable, and as sen- sible, to call our late wars with Algiers and Great Britain, wars upon Mahometiam and Protestanism And with regard to the bold and impudent as. sertion contained in the w hig paper which you have rpioted in your letter, it is too absurd to ob fain any credence with any party here ; and I can. not ror a moment suppose, that it can have any improper effect in your neighborhood. But if you should find any one inclined or dissosed to believe it, you can with propriety tell him, that three years ago, in Philadelphia, when his rights and his reli• gion were assailed by a band of fanatics—wfien the men of his sect were forced to flee to distant towns and places far shelter and protection—when I I women and children were driven from their homes in the dark hour of midnight, and were lighted by the blaze of their hirrning dwelling places to the highways and byweys of the suburbs of Philadel phia, where they Sotight and found, under the broad canopy of He men, a shelter that civilized man had denied them; and when the religious edi fices of his sect were falling by the hands of an infuriated mob--then it was that Democratic men and Democratic newspapers stood up in his defence and protection—then it was that Democratic men, !I with their tongues and pens, awakened and aroused their : party to the Danger which threatened our institutions, and to the fact that the great and in valuable principle of religious liberty was openly assailed ; and then, it was that the Democratic party, true to the precepts of those w•ho founded it, boldly stood forth, 'asserted, maintained and de. fended those great plinciples of eivil'and religious liberty, which their fathers had taughtthem to re. vere. And if they ask for proof of this, point them to the 9th resolution of the Democratic National Convention, which assembled at Baltimore May 27th,. 1844, and nominated Mr. Polk for the Presi dency, which is in the following words : " That the liberal principles embodied by Jeffer. son in the Declaration of independence, and sanc tioned in the Constitution which makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles of the democratic faith; and every attempt to abridge the present privileges of-becoming citizens and the o vners of soil among us ' ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute books." And to the resolutions of the great town meet ing of the Democracy of the city and county of Philadelphia, which - assembled at Independence Hall, on the 4th July, of the same year, one of which declares— " That we proclaim as cardinal features of our faith, and prominent lindmarks of the Democratic party, liberty of conscience and of speech—equal ity of political •rights --no established religion— no persecution for opinion sake," &c. And you even-lell them, that in the same year, when the sanctity of the sabhath was, desecrated by the attempt of an armed mob, to , destroy the church edifice of St. Philip de Neri, inSouthwark, then it was that avo' worthy and excellent: men and Democrats, Gezer and Troutman sealed their devotion tO-their count 'and its institutions, by MN n. •-, • - ;. -*•,-"0-'''''c're" • - , , yielding up their, lives in the support And main tenance of its laws. And what was the. Whig party doing in these trying times. W e had then a Whig Sheriff of, the County, and a Whig Mayor of the City of Phila. delphia, whoSe!duty it was to protect the persons and property. f the people within their' jurisdic tion. These officers permitted to assemble at the back door of Independence Hall, a meeting whose call directed them to come "armed for defence," quietly permitted the most inflamatory speeches to be made, and the meeting to adjourn with the shout and cry of "to Kensington," "down with the churches" and on the following day after having had ample notice of the designs of the mob, this Whig Sheriff quietly permitted the dwelling places and church edifices of Catholics, to be sacked and burned in open day, in full view of himself and his posse. ROBT. H. KERR And when the mob having worked itself out of material in Kensington, visited the city for the pur pose of applying the torch to the convent and ven erable edifice of St. Augustine, it was met by the Whig Mayor of the city, who instead of treating it as a mob ought to be treated, merely played the political tlemagogue to it. He got on the top of a cab and addressed it by the endearing appellation of "Fellow-citizens." The whole course of the Whig party, and the Whig newspapers, in these trying times, clearly indicates that they were tampering with the mob, for the purpose of procuring votes for their candi- dates for Governor and President, that were to be elected that year. Indeed this is plainly shown by the result of the election of that year in our coun ty, " contrasted with the previous year, the returns of which `.l will give you. I take the vote for / Senator, that being the best vote to iniliCate the party strength. 1843 Democratic vote .10,2.01 Whig vote 8,128 Showing that nearly five thousand of those who were whigs in 1843 together with all the increase went over to the Native party in 1944 while the Democratic party, not only kept its position but made a small increase. The result was that the whole Native ticket was elected in the county;and the Whig candidates for Governor and Canal Com missioner, (the Natives had no candidates for these offices) went out of the City and County of Phil adelphia, with a majority of nearly six thousand in their favor. I can therefore assure you, that the assertion contained in this Whig paper, that the democrats !of the city of Philadelphia, intend to vote the na tive ticket, is a foul slander—a foul falsehood. If that party, in the city. had been disposed to sacrifice principle, they :ould have elected the na tive ticket, at at any election of the past three years, as will be plainly seen by the following re. l turns of those elections. The rote taken, is the highest on the respective Aissembly tickets: • I 1841. 1845. 1846.

Mlki •• • • 1850 3067 Maj....1'069 Thus, the Democrats, by turning over a little more than halt their strength to the native party. could have elected the ticket of that party, at either of those elections. For fourteen successive election., the Democrats of the city have been in a large minority ; during which time, there has been fro quent opportunities of defeating the party in. pow er. by bargaining away their votes , but they have preferred to sustain the principles of their party, rather than gain place and power by their sacrificei and have, by their devotion and self sacrifice,proved and established their fidelity to those principles.

The Federal party, (now calling itself Whig,) on the other hand, is in every respect, the reverse of the Democratic party. All its principles, its prejudices, its feelings, its practice; and its policy, are in decided and deadly hostility to those of the DemOcratic party. Instead of respecting the per sonal rights and personal feelings of others, it is vindictive in its hatred, and low and scurrilious in in its abuse. For instance, notwithstanding all the enterprise, alt the intelligence, all the indystry, and all the integrity of our German citizegrwhich we see every where around us, they are designated by the Whigs as "ignorant, stupid Dutch I " A fur- ; tier evidence of this rancorous hostility and scan-; dalous abuse, is furnished by the manner in which our present worthy and patriotic Chief Magistrate, l Gov. Sucam,has been treated by this same" Whig " party. He, too, hail been vilified, because of his German extraction, he, too, is abused, because he is not ashamed to mingle and associate with his German fellow citizens; and because he would make a friendly visit to an old acquaintance in a " low Dutch tavern! " We regret to see that, notwithstanding all this, there are still sortie few Germans who belong to this Whig party, and support its candidates. We have reason to know, however, that there are but Jew, aiery few such, indeed. And we now call up. on our German fellow-citizens to unite with their Democratic brethren 'at the election on Tuesday next, and vote for," Old Shuuk," and the rest of the Democratic ticket. : The DemocraticNickets will be furnished to all of our friends whO call at our office.

Respecting the late speech of Mr. Webster, (the great gun.of Old Hartford Convention, blbe-light Federalism,) the Gazette, in copying it, says:— "This is all truth, solemn truth, susceptible of proof; and not to be put down by any empty de. claration about Federrillorn." Mr:Webster, in the course of this speech, said,—" We cannot make a free citizen out of a person not accustomed to self government. He must be fitted to bee, beforel he can become justly a free citizen of a blic." This is a sentiment of Mr. Webster, in relation to those of our fellow beings who have not had the good fortune to be born under the influence of our free and happy institutions. The man born under the British crown—in England, in Scotland, or in lieland,—is not accustomed to self-govern- went. He must be fitted to be free." And how did the old Federal party propose' to fit those, who wished to come among us, for being(ras.z ? Their plan was, to give to th.e President Nof the United States the power to order eut of the country all .such as, (from any cause, deemed sufficient by him.) might be suspected of being dangerous per sons. Their plan was, to stop the mouths of all men, to prevent them from saying any thing against the authorities of the country. An Irish man, who had been struggling in the cause of hu man rights. from the time he was able to reason; and who, perhaps, had been forced to leave his na tive land, to escape the persecutions of the lordly dispensers of power;—a German who had been striving, through the best years of his life, to in fuse a spirit of liberty into his countrymen ;—a Frenchman who, loving liberty, and seeing no door for its admission into his country, had left t. la belle France," to find a home in the wilds of this western world ;—st.t. were the objects of oia Fed eral proscription—all were the especial objects of old Federal hate. Such men had not been "accus tomed to self governmit ;" and Federalism then, would have placed f etters upon their legs, and manacles' upontheir arms, in order to fit them for the important offices of political self government. Such was the plan, years ago, by which Federal., ists would govern a free country; such Was their! regard for the struggling sons of freedom through.' out the world ; and such is now the plan favored by Mr. Webster, the great champion of Whiggery, which the organ of the old Federalists of Pitts burgh, her would-be aristocracy, tells the people is "all truth, solemn truth." 1544 10,315 3,774 Is there a being, born upon the soil of our coon itry, over whose head floats the glorious " flag of the free," and in whose soul is to be found a single sentiment of liberal, and enlightened manhood, who will sanction sucha monstrous doctrine as is.

Some of the Federal papers are trying to make capital of an advertisement lately issued by Capt. Marcy, of the sth 1 1S.Infantry, who is recruiting for the . Artillery. He ; calls 'for Native 'Citizen" ; and this is blazoned forth by these Federalists as a proof of the insincerity orthe Democratic party in their professione.of regard for our adopted citi zens. The reflection has probably not occurred to these gentry that they are liable to be convicted of ignorance or malice ; and yet this can be easily done. The law organizing the Artillery Arm of our service requires that all in that service shall be native born citizens. The officers who are recruit; ing, the Secretary of War, the President, and al other good citizens, will therefore obey the laws while they exist; and find fault with those who made them, if they are objectionable, We strongly suspect this law originated with the old Federal ists, and was carried by their influence.

We seould have written Thursday even ing. Madame A. gives her last Concert this even-, ing. All who attended on Tuesday evening were delighted. As a vocalist Madame A has no so perior. 'We but reiterate what has been said in her praise by the press of Great Britain and America.' in making this assertion. She sings thoseliitle fa -I vorite songs, which are familiar ts everyone, with such a sweetness, that the dullest ears are charmed. We like her musk because we can understand it; There is some sense in her performances; and one can enjoy real satisfaction while listening to her, which they cannot do while hearing the music of an Italian Opera Troupe. People attend the .C9n certs of the latter because they are fashionable; but they attend Madame•A. to be gratified. 13; - in —On Monday a poor servant giri, of Alle gheny, was detected in an act of dishonesty which may be the cause of lier utter ruin. A gentleman gave a child his purse, while under her care, from which she took a sum of money. She was at once discharged. It is painful to hear of such cir cumstances, there is en little hope for a girl who is once exposed for a bad act. a:7. Fisher's Cab- seems to be doing a fair busi ness.
