spirit of sturdy resistance to absolutism and of
manly devotion to the oause of Liberty, for
their own sakes, for the sake of their posterity,
and for the sake of the human raoe, re-asserted
the dootrines and dogmaß of the Bill of Righto,
and for a while declined to ratify the Constitu
tion until these saorod and inviolable principles
of natural right were acknowledged and adop
edas a part of its text, and in all of these pro
posed amendments were incorporated a solemn
declaration in favor of civil and religious liber
ty At the first session of the first Congress
the amendments to the Constitution wero adopt
ed and subsequently ratified by the States, and
the first artiolo of those amendments set the
question at rest forever by declaring that “ Con-
OEBSS SHALL HAKE NO LAW KEBPEOTINQ THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF BELIOION OK PROHIBITING
the fbee exebcisk tbekeof.” It is worthy of
observation that when in Convention it was pro
posed by Mr. Pinokney to add to tho Sixth Ar
tiole the clauso prohibiting a religious test that
Mr. Sherman thought it unnecessary, tho pre-
vailiug liberality being a sufficient security
against such tcßt, after whioh Mr. Gouverneur,
Morris and General Pinokuey approved the mo
tion, and it was oarricd unanimously. These
enlightened men were too well awaro of the
disastrous consequences attendant upon any in
terference by the Stato with the religious opin
ions of its oitizens. The bloody record of fa
natical persecutions was spread out before them,
and in it they read of those atrocities that were
the darkest stains upon the character of the hu
man race. From the earliest days down to their
own time, had the history of mankind shown
that its advancements in civilization had been
retarded, and sometimes almost stifled, in the
ferocious conflicts between contending sects and
exterminating propagandism. Xn all parts of
tbo world bod Are and faggot, the sword and the
spear, brutalized men Into implicit obedienoe to
religious opinions they did not understand, and
faiths at whioh their consciences revolted.
From religions persecution bad their fathers
fled, and by emigration had their sovereignties
been established. Up to that time, by God's
providence, had this land been the refuge of op
pressed men, and with God's protection they
were resolved to dedicate their country to the
cause of civilization and religious freedom, and
from that day to this timo hod their noble work
remained untouohed. May U last forever !
But now, after we have enjoyed the blessiogs
of these sacred provisions, has a party arisen in
our midst, and with secret, oath-bound combina
tions, resolved to blot oat this pare and life
giving principle, and by force and violence of
law restrain and abridge the liberties of men,
and limit their civil rights by an odious and
impious religious test. As citizens of this mighty
Eepublic, as members of the great Demooratio
party, as men for the'sakc of mankind at large,
we call upon you to resist this sacriloge, and
rebuke these conspirators against the honor and
dignity of our Constitution and laws.
After the adoption of the Constitution, and
during the administration of the eider Adams,
Congress enaoted two statutes, one conooruing
aliens, and the other entitled an act for the pun
ishment of certain crimes against the United
States, known as the Alien and Sedition Laws.
Immediately upon the enactment of these sta
tutes, the States of Kentucky. and Virginia
passed certain resolutions, condemning them as
violations of the letter and spirit of the Consti
tution, and reprobating them as gross attempts
to establish arbitrary authority, and as subver
sive of the liberties of tbo people. Tbo Ken
tuoky resolutions were written by Mr. Jefferson,
and those of Virginia were written by Mr. Mad
ison, and both of these wero addressed to the
Legislatures of the several States, inviting their
co-oporation to resist these statutes. Some of
the Legislatures refused to co-operato with Vir
ginia and Kentucky, and pronounced those reso
lutions to be of a dangerous tendency, and
therefore not fit subject for farther considera
tion. To these refusals the Commonwealth of
Virginia replied in the form of a Report drawn
by Mr. Madison, and adopted by the Legislature
of tho State in 1799. The object of the Alien
law Was exposed in these resolutions and in that
Report, and the mischievous consequences of its
adoption were folly explained and demonstrated
in those masterly papers. In them it was pro
claimed to be inhuman, impolitic, illegal and
irrational for Congress to restrain the current of
emigration that wsb setting in towards our
shores, oaused by the high tides of oivil convul
sions and publio discord that were raging in
Europe. Mr. Jefferson there siid that the Alien
law will furnish new oalumnlea against republi
can governments, and new pretexts for those
who wish it to be believed that man cannot be
governed but by a rod of iron, and that a very
numerous and valuable description of the inhab
itants of these States would, by this precedent,
be reduoed as outlaws, and that " the mild spirit
of our country and Us laws had pledged hospi
tality and protection to these friondless stran
gers.” It was denounced by Mr. Madison, in
his report, as tyrannical in its spirit, and con
ferring a despotic power upon the "President to
banish “an alien from a country into which ho
had been invited as the asylnm most aospioious
to his happiness, a country where he may have
formed the most tender connections, and where
he may have invested his ontiro property.”
This law thus resisted, and nullified, and de
feated, never assumed to do more than exercise
a restraining power over Alif.ns ; and harsh as
it was, had no relation to naturalization, and no
man among the hardiest of its supporters at
that day, dared to propose the disfranchisement
of .emigrants or tho abolition of the naturaliza
tion laws. The publio that was indignant at
the tyrannical spirit of that statute, would havo
burst out with one shout of condemnation at any
attempt to outlaw freemen and reduce them to
the condition of slaves, because they were born
iQ another country and were of another people.
Upon the resistance to the Alien and Sedition
Laws, and in support of the principles announced
in those resolutions and that Report of '99, was
Mr. Jefferson elected and tho Democratic party
established as an organized element of political
aotion in this country. From that day to this,
has it been steadfast in its integrity and purity,
.upholding and vindicating the liberty of the
country.
Oar Constitution was not wrested from the re
luctant handß of lawless kings. It was tho freo
compact of free sovereignties of freemen, made
with each other for their owa domestic advan
tage in the common cause of human freedom,
and for the perpetuation of humane rights. Oar
commercial and public necessities, and our po
litical principles, all prompted ub to encourage
emigration, and by its healthful inflaonoe have
we prospered as a people. We have multiplied
io our inhabitants. We have increased in our
wealth and grown mighty with a population that
has been driven to us for shelter and to whom
we are pledged before the world to secure the
rights of civil and religions liberty, and upon
whom we are likowise pledged as Democrats, to
oonfer the rights of citizenship as the inaliena
ble right of their manhood. In the making of
the laws that govern them they as freemen have
a right to participate. To refuse them that
right would be impolite, illog&l and inhuman.
By adopting them we havo secured the services
of men skilled iu all tho mysteries of the me
chanic arts, and wo have despoiled Europe, and
Earope&n Monarchies of greater sources of na
tional and personal property, individual happi
ness and publio renown, than if we had con
quered in a hundred fights. Treat them as
aliens, disqualify them by statute, and we have
in our midst a body of oppressed, unhappy and
dissatisfied men, who would feel their degrada
tion among freemen and sink to its level.
There is not an evil obmpl&ined of in the whole
catalogue of aocusations preferred against the
naturalized voters of the country, that would
equal the'wrong that would be done to our prin
ciples and our people, by the refusal to allow
the right of suffrage and the equal right of offioe
to all citizens. In countries where the govern
ment is a fraud upon the people, and the right
of suffrage but a name, restraints upon the
rights of citizenship and religious testa may be
in Btriot harmony with their constitutions; but
in this country, dedicated to civil and religious
liberty, laws for those purposes would be violent
inconsistencies that must shock all right-minded
men. We know that there are many, very many
honest and well meaning men who wandered off
from tho proper path, and in their desire to oor
reot alleged abuses of tho naturalization laws
have suffered themselves to give their support
to this now and pernioious political heresy To
those men wo would especially appeal, and ear
nestly entroat them to pause before they shall
aid in farthering projects, the result of whioh
will startlo their understandings and appal their
hearts. Lot them beware of a political party
that has been afraid to reveal its principles, and
coooo&ls its actions—let them consider bow un
manly and irrational must those men be who
would thus scoretly unite, and binding eaoh
other in the spirit of mutual distrust, by solemn
and illegal oaths, to carry out a great publio
purpose, and to produce a great political revolu
tion. In tyrannical countries, where political,
intolerance and persecution proscribes men for
liberal opinions, such combinations are some
times necessary, but always dangerous for The
cause of freedom. But it was left for a Demo
cratio ooontry, in a Demooratio and liberal are
for men thus to conspire in favor of politioal in’
toleranoo and perueoating bigotry. To the pure
minded men who have thne orred and strayed
away, do wo submit these considerations for
their notion, hoping that they will yet return to
correct views, and sustain the cause of repnbli-

oao liberty by a zealous opposition to tbo perni
cious principles and intolerant discipline of this
uew and dangerous fnotion.
Before wo conclude this appeal to your reason
and your patriotism, wo must invite yonr atten*
tion to the subject of domestic slavery. With
that institution Pennsylvanians have nothing to
do. In the exeroise of a wise philanthropy! we i
have long since abolished it. But because we
have exerted our sovereign power over it, we
must not endeavor to control sister States in the
regulation of the subject. Lf we entertain sen
timents advereb to its introduction, we must not
propagate those opinions at the oost of the do
mestic tranquility of other States, or at the risk
of periling [our common Union. It would not
become freemen to bo involvod in inappeasablo
disoord, for the sake of a small number of slaves,
whoso couditin we cannot ohange. The Consti
tution was the result of many adjustments and
compromises, and with it we have scoured do
mestic tranquility, private prosperity and public
liberty. Time will reveal tho end and purpose
of this institution of slavery existing in some of
the States of this Union ; but while we live un
der the Constitution, we must abide by its pro
visions and its solemn compacts. All attempts
to regulate this subject by congressional action
must prove abortive and end in tumult and dis
order. With us the Constitution is paramount
to the laws, and it is disobedience and insubor
dination of the worst kind, to strive, by political
agitation, to subvert the one, and encroach with
the other.
Like all other questions of strictly legal con
cern, that of slavery should be submitted to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the people of the terri
tory or place in which it is proposed, to estab
lish or rejeot it. This principle of local self
governmcDt is tho basis of all our institutions,
and is essential to political freedom. It may for
a time, be abused and trampled on, as other
rights have been, bat men should not, beoause
of that, be deprived it. It is for the oommon
interest of all that eaoh and every citizen should
freely and peacefully cxeroise the right; and
the principle and praotioo thus universally or
dained and recommended by tho founders of our
government, will bo firmly maintained by the
Democratic party. J. F. JOHNSTON,
Chairman.

A STAB IN THE DARK
Some Pittsburgher has written a letter, which
is published in the Washington Un\on y in which
the writer undertakes to damage the interests
of the Pennsylvania Railroad in a most unfair
and unjustifiable manner. John H. Hampton,
Esq., of this city is the Solicitor of that Rail
road Company. He attends to their law business
in this city, and is paid a salary for his services.
Further than that ho has no conneotion with the
company, or control of its affairs.
But Mr. Hampton happens to be a politician,'
and a K. N., and he occasionally takes tho liberty
to make a speech at u public meeting. Wc don’t
like his political principles or bis speeches; but
neither of them has any thing to do with his le
gal services to tho Railroad Company. Vet the
Union's Pittsburgh correspondent undertakes to
make tho Company responsible for Mr, Hamp
ton’s politioal sentiments, aud warns tho people
of the South “ of what they are to expect from
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.” Thewna
liguaot object of the writer is to drive Southern
travel and trade from our Railroad. We have
very little doobt as to the authorship of that let
ter, and the motive—the private spleen—that
dictated it.
The malignity of suoh an attack upon our
railroad is only equalled by its absurdity. The
whole South is expected to rise up at once and
resolve never to ride over, or send another
pound of freight over the Pennsylvania Railroad,
beoauso one of its law agents in Pittsburgh
makes political speeches. Or, to avoid so dire
a calamity, the oompany must at onoe discharge
Mr. Hampton, and appoint tho writer or his
friend Solicitor in his plaoe.
We are not employed to defend Mr. Hampton.
He mu H take oare of himself. Bat wo think the
writer of suoh a letter should be exposed, and
we will probably give his name in a few days.
The reulroad oompany is not likely to be harmed
by buc& malignity. It is in fact a “ black mail ’
operation. But we doubt whether any money
can be made out of it. The Southern poople are
not fools to bo humbugged by suoh nonsense,
and tJhe railroad company will not be likely to
suffer much from snob a silly absurdity.
Tlie "Washington Union has certainly eeoured
the Bervioos of a valuable correspondent, and we
mf*y expect that some of our citizens will sud
denly aoquire a national fame if the writer keeps
<>n as he has begun. He signs himself “A Bora
American.” Think of that! He is resplved to
eatisfy tho South and the nation that he is a bom
/American. He scorns the idea of being ooneid
etred an unborn American. He is actually 6orn ;
and from the style of his writing we should
judge that that auspioious event occurred not
‘ very many years ago.

Mistakes in tiie Crimea.— The mistakes in
tho Crimea have been numerous ; but the first
was the most fatal, and the parent of all theotb
ers. An extraordinary work has appeared in
Germany, written by a surgeon in tho Russian
army, who waa in Sebastopol at the time of the
expedition to the Crimea, and wbo remained
there until long after tho battle of Inkermann,
at which be was wounded. His statements hare
a look of truth about them, and his long resi
dence in Russia has made him a Muscovite pur
tizau ; but his facts are apparently set down in
good faith.
Tho first foot is rather astonishing. He tells
us that the troops available in the Crimea at the
time'the allies landed did cot exceed twenty
thousand men. These, like the natives, were fill
ed with pnDio at tho exaggerated account of the
terrible resources of the British array A no
tion prevailed that the shells would carry destruc
tion to whole forts, and that tho ote&m guns
would rain bullets without intermission. There
was wailing and gnashing of teeth, tbo women
and children filled the houses and streets with
cries and lamentations, and tho sailors and sol
Jier* betrayed their fears in their smileless faces
Prince Menchikotf partook of the general gloom,
ami, in his address to tho army, he anticipated
not victory, but defeat. The troops wentas vio
lins—not willing ones—to Alma, and their de
feat there heightened the alarm in Sebastopol.
No hope existed for saving it; a defence was
hardly possible, but there were violent embraces
j and loud congratulations when (be allies, in
stead of entering at the uorth side, made a tlank
march to the south. That movement relieved
the terrified people, saved the town, and led to
the disasters at B&laklava.
Burning of a Harem. A correspondent of
the Journal vf Commerce gives that paper the
following account of tbo burning of a Harem,
on the Bosphorus .
Within the last few days wc have been visited
by a terrible fire on tho Bosphorous, and the
beautiful palace of Ahmet Fetika Pasha was
completely destroyed by the devouring element.
Tho firo broke ont in the smoking room about 4
o'clock, A. M., and owing to the prevalence of a
high wind, spread in a fow minutes through the
harem, Jriviog the frightened women before it,
half dressed and unveiled. Tbo light of the
conflagration spread to < 'onstantinoplo, a distance
of five k rDilefl, and largo number of peoplo
went out to see it. 1, amoDg others, was on the
spot about b o'clock, and from tho neighboring
gardens viowed the sublime spectaole.
A dense crowd of villagers from Bcbek and
Arnaatkud, were on the ground, and a number of
pumpers or squirters wore discharging water on
the blazing pile. About five women, in a stato
of half nudity, revealed their handsome fea
tures to tho gaze of the infidel, and ob many
black muizlod eunuobs were endeavoring to re*
storo order io the fomale tlock. Every now and
then a lot of Turkish Lancers would oome dash
ing through the orowd, knocking and trampling
under tbeir feet, to show their authority. How
ever, this did not last long, for coming in contact
with a number of Englishmen, a row ensued,
and the unfortunate lanoers got rathor severely
bandied. Altogether, there waa somo fun, some
fight, some noise, and some—fire.
The Sultan's favorite dwarf, a Utile man
about forty years old, and three feet high, a few
years ago took a notion to marry, and applied to
the Saltan for a wife. The latter gave him per
mission to go into his harem, and take the one
whom he could kite. Tho dwarf, like all other
short men, was ambitious to have a long wifo.
While the Sultan’s five hundred women, who
knew the terms according to wbioh the dwarf
was permitted to choose, were laughing at the

Feenou Consi'lEatoes. — A Paris correspon
dent of the New York Herald gives an aooount
of the alleged discovery of a new political con
spiracy against the Emperor of Franco. He
states that on the evening of the 27th of July
information was received at the police office in
Paris that in a solitary house upon the Faubonrg
St. Antoine, a number of members of an affilia
ted olub were sitting in solemn oonolave. The
house was speedily surrounded by the police,
and thirty five men were taken in oustody. Pa
pers were also sieved, containing evidenoe of
the existeDoe of a plot to assassinato the tlmpo
rsr by means of a gunpowder explosion.
Removal of the Capital of lowa.— The Su
preme Court of lowa has deoided that the law
for the removal of the capital to Fort Des Moines
is constitutional. The decision settles the mat
ter, and Fort Des Moines is the oapital of that
great and growing State. The new seat of gov
ernment is situated on the Des Moines river,
abont one hundred and fifty miles above Keokuk,
and in a most delightful and fertile region.
The river runs a distance of four hundred miles
through the State, and is represented as one of
the finest in the United States.
To Keep Milk Sweet.— A. Boyd, a correspon
dent, informs us that he has praotioed a peouliar
method with much success of preserving milk
sweet in the pans. It simply consists in pla
cing a piece of now hammered iron, or three
twelve penny nails in eaoh tin paoj then pouring
the warm milk on them. He believes that elec
tricity has something to do with prodneing the
result. He had tried many experiments before
he hit upon this one, which he found to pre
serve the milk sweet for a longer time than oth
er plane tried by him.

FOREIGN NEWS.
BY TBK PACIFIC
PAELIAMBHT.
[From the European Times, August 11.)
The business of Parliament this week has
been of a very hurriod and miscellaneous char
acter. Tho most remarkable event was the
speech of Lord John Russell on Tuesday even
ing, on the] prospeots of the war, the state of
Italy, and other topics, indicative of his lord
ship’s desire for an early peace.
Lord John did not adopt the bold and deoidod
tone of Mr. Gladstone on the evening of yester
day week, against the continuance of the war,
but while ho lagged behind the ex Chanoeller of
tho Exchequer in power and deolamation, his
lordship evidently entertains in subßtance tho
same opinions. This speeoh fell listlessly on
tho House and on the country. As an exponent
of party feeling, Lord John Russell has sunk to
the oondition of a cypher, and this move to re
cover his ground has been a failure.
When Lord Derby was here on Thursday, at
tending Lord Sefton’s funeral, he had a slight
conversation with a distinguished townsman, in
whioh the leader of the Conservative party sta
ted that he did cot envy the position of the Gov
ernment in the existing condition of the coun
try, and that with regard to Lord John Russell
his political career was over—a state of things
which oannot be supposed to distress Lord Der
by very greatly, as his return to power some day
or other will be smoothed thereby.
The annual statement of Mr. Vernon Smith,
relative to the financial and political oondition
of oar Indian empire provoked a keen discus
sion, in whioh Mr. Bright made his eloquence
felt. He denounced, with just indignation, the
practice of torture in India, whioh it appears,
oxists, bat its perpetration is exclusively con
fined to the native administrators of the law.
FAILURE OF THE POLISH MOVEMENT
[From the European Times, Aug. 11.]
Tho meeting in favor of the organization of a
Polish Legion and the restoration of Poland,
tras hold on Wednesday, when the ohair, as pre
viously annonnood, was taken by the Earl of
Harrington. The Daily News, whioh has taken
the lead in this movement, says, in its impress
ion of yesterday, “We are not ashamed to say
that the resalt of the postponed Polish meeting
has deeply mortified ns.
“An opportunity was afforded to the inhabit
ants of the metropolis of doing real servioe to Po
land and Europe, and nothing has come of it.
The meeting was oalled upon solemnly to de
oiaro that the claim of Poland to have its na
tionality re-established was indefeasible; and
that, as a first step to the re-establishment of
ite nationality, the enrolment of a Polish Le
gion ought to bo urged upon Parliament and tho
Government. Bat instead of these resolutions,
the meeting, after a todioos scene of gestioula
tlons, inertioular noise and anger, voted that
nothing ahonld or oonld be done nntil Lord
Palmerston was turned oat of office. As if the
ta6k of promoting tho resnsaitation of Poland
were not In itself Bnffioiently arduous, it was
resolved that it ehonld bo linked with the task
of bringing about a ministerial crisis in England.
The snoh a policy reminds as of
Charles Lamb’s Legion of the Chinese, who, in
the infancy of the culinary art, burned down a
honso whenever they wished to roast a pig.’’
THE ‘BALTIC,
We had the following ia the European Times,
of the 11th lost:
The present week has been rife in conjectures,
but the events of interests have been few. There
was a rumor in town yesterday, whioh came
from Paris, to the effeot that tho French Govern
ment had been informed of a successful attack
upon Revel; but all details are wauling.
Previously, it was believed that the fortresses
of Sweaborg and Helsingfors were on the point
of bombardment. The impression wag strength
ened by the latest intelligence from the Baltio,
the allied vessels at tho commencement of the
present month beiog concentrated at Nargeu.
Many hours cannot elapse beforo we learn some
thing decisive.
(Prom the European Tides, Utb Inst.
REPEAL op the constitution in uanoveu
The King of Hanover has been taking a step
which has surprised many and distressed moro.
He has repealed the constitution wbioh his fa
ther granted to the people seven years back,
and, anticipating an trprißTwg*of''tbb Hauover
iaus, is said to have invoked the aid of the Fede
ral army to put down any disturbance whioh
may cosuo. This movement may possibly lead
to results of a very important kind. If the war
do not ultimately merge into a war of opinion,
it will clearly aot bo tho faolt of the Oermoo
Sovereigns.

TUB ALLIES DESTROYING ANAPA.
Omar Pacha, as wo announced recently, is to
take the command of tbo Turkish forces in Asia,
where his presence is urgently required, for the
troops of tho Saltan have been defeated by the
Russians in the vicinity of Kars. Tho allies are
stated to be engaged in demolishing tho fortifi
cations of Anapa, contrary to the wishes of the
Circassians.
GUN. MA&JUIAM, UKN. SIMPSON'S BUCOK9SOR
The European Times of tho 11th inst. btatea
that from (be Crimea the latest intelligence is to
the Sth, at wbioh time some oases of choleraifad
reappeared. It was rumored that the bombard
ment of the MaiakotT aod the Redan would re
commence on the 10th—yesterday. If tho Daily
News is to be oreditod, General Markham, a
bravo and enterprising Indian officer, in his 47th
year, is to sucoeed General Simpson. The evils
of a divided oommand oro dwelt on in letters
from the camp; and this unpromising condition
of things, taken in connexion with the receut
Peace speeches in Parliament, has given a de
sponding tone to the publio mind during the last
two or three days.
t&F Diseases of tbe Liver.— Wbeu tbo cele
brate 1 Dr. Hu«b declared that drunkenness waa a disease,
ti»? enunciated a truth which lha experience and observa
tloo of moJlcal men is every day confirming. The many
apparently insane excesses of those wbo indulge In tbe use
of •‘plrltuou* liquors, taay be thus accounted for. Tbe true
cause of conduct, which is taken lor infatuation, is vary
frequently s diseased stato of the Liver. No organ in the
human system, when deranged, produces a more frightful
catalogue of diseases. And If, instead of applying remedies
to tbo manifestations of disease, as U too often tho case,
physicians would prescribe with a Ttew to the original
cause, fewer deaths would result trorn diseases induced by
& deraoged state of the Liver. Three-fourths of tbe diseases
enumerated under the bead of Consumption, ban- their neat
io & diseased Liver, tse« Dr. Gunn's great works.)
Purchase™ wilt please be careful to ask for, and take none
but Dr M’Lane's Liver Pills. There are other Pills, pur
porting to be Uver Pills, now before the public.
