' AMERICA' SEITTIMVSTS.-TllB N, Y. !Fri ' bone contains a letter from .1. P. Kennedy of pal timore, from which we' make the folloWini i ex- tract : The Whigs 'are not subdued. We have IRen defeated—net fairly. but by political legerdemain, by slight-of-oathand juggling disguises—we have been P/aquenriried out of our election. We are vanquished, therefore,—but are ready for more work. 1 I say to the Whigs—Raise again your flag— Stand firm in your present arrry. Go net apart into any other combinations, but stand your grOund as Wares. Tho recent election has forced Upon our adoption one addition to our old formula of pnnciples—a great and momentous abuse calls for the aid of the Whigs to THE REINFORCE MENT OF THE PURITY OF THE BAL LOT 80-XI It is fundamendal in this gov:cm ment that the true people of America shall speak truly in their elections; that their voice shall! not be suppressed by fraud or violence, and that nei ther shall iiihe out-weighed by voices un-Ameri can—l mean by that, that no man shall votb in our electione,:who has not a heart to feel with :A -merican people, and a mind so acclimated, as to understand, at I(4st, the difference between Amer ican and foreigninferests. To compass this gl , reat end, we must have a modification of the laws of naturalizatidn—sucli modification as shall length en,the term bf probation, exact greater care in the introduction Of citizenship, and strengthen the se curities against fraud. We say with all our heart —all hospitality to the stranger, full privilege of holding propertyi full encouragement to his lahOr, but no privileoe to interfere in the government or legislation orthe nation until he has lived long e nough in the country to understand its interests. to resist the cajolery of demagogues who would make him, through his ignorance. the instrument of the basest designs; and until he has sutfieiently iden tified himself, with. our people to feel that their Welfare is more important to him than the welfare of all others. I Odr laws, at present, do not give us I these securities; end We may presume that there is not an intelligent, honest-hearted naturalized citizen in this union, who . does not feel and *- knowledge the necessity of this reform. 1 For these;ends,the ,Whigs need no new organ ization, no new name. That which we hear, has been consecrated in many a battle-field of freeel4m; and it will, trust, long serve to rally the brave Ind pule spirits who stand up for popular right and tree governnient id time to come.

Rcaolred; That as but sic days in a week hare 'been made, or given , to men for Secular business, they have no right to take any more for the pur pose; no more belong to them; if man take more they take that which is Not theirs ; and though it • may sometimes promise some temporary good, it will not be likely to end Well ; for the Sabbatical law was ongraveu not only on the tables ofstone. • but on the bodies and souls of men, and is armed with a penalty which no continued violation of it . can neither annul or evade.
