Tho Stitt is one or the beat ilail ypa pets is the cmintry---olited with ability and thor oughly American. We cheerfully commend it to tho patronage of our friends. Americanism and Proscription Otte of the staple electioneering devi ces of - the opponents - of -Americanism- is t their denunciation of the movement us a "proscriptive" one, and to this view the atteution of Catholics is most persevering. l ly and beseechingly directed: The Hon. J. J. CRITTENnEN, of Kentucky, recently made a great speech at an innitiense Amer-( jean dpuuonstretion in that Slate, front j which we annex a couple of extracts de serving attention : Mr, C. demonstrated the necessity for the American party, to do wttat the old parties--elfete .alld falling to pieces as they were—would not and could not do. paid a glowing and, just tribute to the ma-'. terial of the American party—a party whirl, had sprung frotn humble private citizens, not (ruin politicians, and the wai -1 hers of which were all native sons of the soil—tnen born in the land, who - had here homes of ii, it clrilhtrud and the groves or their fathers—whose love for their coun try was inborn, pore and strong. and in whose founds, if any where, the destiny of the country would be safe. Upon the Catholic question, Mr. C. de clared that he was utterly hostile to im posing any penalties, proscription or dis ability upon any man on amount of his re ligon. Ile hail, further, the fullest cordi• dense in our native Catholics. He felt sure they acknowledged no allegiance to the Pope that was superior to their coun try, or equal to it. But there were men, neeredited teachers in the church, as Mr. Brownson, for example, who taught that Catholics did owe 'supreme allegiance to the Pope in things-tempera! us well as re ligous, and while he would trust native Kentuckians to repudiate such doctrines, be could not say as much for the European Catholics who were coming here in such immense numbers. Upon this whole Catholic aspect of the question, the po• sitton of the American party was sintp:y this: they would not vote for nut man who acknowledged a divided allegiance be tween his rowan' and any foreign power. civil or ecclesiastical, or who acknoledged l uny allegiance to any such power superior Ito his country. Beyond this he would not go, nor did the order require anybody to go beyond it. He wits not bound to re fuse to vote for a native Catholic for office unless he knew or had reason to belt ive that he held such a foreign allegiance.—. Who could say there was any proscription in this t Mr. C. next passed to the _subject of a reform of the naturalization laws. Ho showed the immense increase of immigra tion ; as many had arrived recently in one year, as came in the whole of the first thirty years of our national existence; and that the. present rate was enough to fill up a State as populous as Kentucky every two years. He showed that they had al ready 'passed far beyond the limits of our ability to assimilate and Aniericaidze them as they came; that they were now accum ulating in groups, and china, and counties, and almost States—perpetuaying their for. eign habits, and language and prejudices, and that thul the process of Americanizing thorn, which was expected to be accom plished in five years was not even coin- menced. They had already COlllO at the rate of a half million in a year ; at the same rate of increase they would soon come by mil lions ; and he impressed it upon, hie audi ence, with an eloquence and power of argu ment we cannot cleactibe, that. unless the present rapid proeesS of conferring citizen ship upon these immigrants was arrested, the sons of the soil would soon be the rut ed and not the !friers in their own land, and the glorious trust of empire and • free 7 dom which we had received from our fath era and our God would pass into the hands of (base who knoiv nut. how to adniinster it.

Louisvitt.e, Aug. 7.—The disturbance yesterday, commekced in the first Ward, where nu American imtned Bitrge, was stabbed and beaten, until nearly dead, by a party of Irishmen. The parties making ihe assault were . arrested. Afterwards, three Americans were tired upon while quietly passing a Ger Man •brewery. gentleman riding in a carriage with his wile, was fired upon at the an MIS time."— Tlign a shower of shot and bullets wax 'Dined from some of the German houses, on. the crowd below, and many wounded. Armed foreittinos soon began to collect in the vicinity, from which shots had been ti re d. At, 0 o'clock. in Eiglith Ward, three Americans were attacked by a mob of Irish, with fire-Suns. One killed and others wounded. The Irishmen then took refuge in a ' house, from which they continued upon the crowd, killing two A Illerienll4. The house was' finally broken intp, the murderers captured, and one 01 them hung. A policeman cut him down while still liv ing. but he was afterwarda shot, and died thi,i morning. Meanwhile fusillade, rifle, and gun-shots were kept up from lour Irish houses, Oil Eleventh street, on all passing Americans. Several were woun• filed. The Ainericans attaekbil the houses, but failing to dislodge the Irish, tired the Imildinqs. By this time reinforcements of Amerieaus arrived, with cannon and noiskets, and sonic of the Irish were shot in the 'burning buildings , and ethers cap tured. No attempts were nirede to stay I the dames. and two or three blocks were burned. Several tires occurred in mote parts of the city also durinkithe night. The Amerieans had row become infuri ated, and marched to the otliee of the Times, a Democratic paper, which was only saved from destruetion by thu efforts, • of Messers. Prentice, Spears and footers. This morning there were more disturban ces, and to II o'eloek a large mob proceed ed to the levee and attack al a row of Irish bottles, from which it is reported some shots had been tired this morning : - 1 The snob is now partially restrained, and efforts are being made to restore order and prevent further excesses. Stlll Later Accousitm. Loursvthis, Aug. 7. 3 P. M.—The ci ty is now quiet. Su i te tiny extra police are on dote. The mob has been addressed by Judge Bullock and several others at the Cmirt House, and more calmness prevails. Large numbers of Irish are leaving the city. Bishop Spalding publishes a card, dis claiming any connection with the difficul ties, and calling upon his Iloek to assist in maintaining the peace of the City. Tim city is note quiet, and it is thought them will ho no further disturoanees. The fighting was all at a distance from the polls, and did not interfere with the elec tion. Tile coffee' houses have been closed, and the ember of driiiikeil men about the streets are few in number. Tim keys tif the Cathedral have been placed in the hands of the Mayor by Bishop Spalding. [Later dispatches furnish slightly vary ing acmiets as to the commencement and progress of the riot, but all agree in the nottemenut that the first net of violence proceeded from foreigners.] anti•Amcrican platform put forth by the German radicals of Richmond, Va., is worthy of attention.

We have already noticed the removal of the political prisoners of Naples from the loathaome dungeons where they have been languishing since 1850, to others . !tome eight miles distant. A correspondent of the Newark Alterlist,. says the indrgni• ties procured towards them have remwak vied :he sensibilities of Europe in 'their behalf. They were heavily chained and carted in coveredLikagene through n file of some 4000 troops stationed along the route as a protection against popular Sympathy. Ono of the carte wee overturned, and sev eral of the lettered limbs wefe broken! .Th. history :of political tyranny does not present an instance of more inexcusable cruelty than the'ease of these noble mar -tyre, whose virtues were reckoned as con• spireeies against power: men without re proauh, gentlemen by birth and habits, friends and,representatives 4 the people, patriots !o whom their sovereign appealed in the hour of need for aid in forming a popular government, Piterios and Setrim brink —primus inks pares—to whom ills honor would be a thousand times more dreadful than martyrdom—they were wres ted Iron their peaceful homes in the des. patiofury of reaction, doomed to feliow ship with the filthiest felons in prisons swarming with vermin, denied what even decency demands for unclean brutes, for no other erime than o.consietent refusal to follow a renegade King in trampling upon the fundamentAl law of the land—the very Constitution which he had himsef pro claimed and sworn to maintain : for, not withstanding all the efforts of a mercenary police, with bribed witnesses and l'eservile Court, no other charge wait sustained than this simple refusal to sanction that great perjnry. The world cannot have forgot ten the facts us expose() through the manly indignation of Mr Gladstone at the time— an exposure which sent a thrill through the heart of Christendom. Persecution so atrocious converts every feeling man into an avengiir ofmutrageo humanity. There is a bond of flesh between man and man, a community of nature and lot, of thought and feelings, which: compels us with a power paramount to all ordinary rules, to stigmatize such humanity wherever perpe trated on every possihie occasion. It is a touching supplement to this outrage that it has shed a cold blight over the finest cir cles of private life—driven the high bred momer of of l'erin to a mad house, crushed the cherished wife of I:tettinahriiii into a premature grave, and cursed his children with n horrible orphanage. Every timely heart must leap into onMry nt every men tion of the author of such a tragedy.— Philadeephia Stun. Cur. Reeder and the President. A IV ashingign correspondent of the Tribune says, many important facts have transpired ivith reference to the dismissal of Gov. Reeder, and g ives • pos i t i ve assu. ranee of the nuthentieity of the fact, that "no sooner had the Governor communica. ted with Mr. Pierce, after lie had arrived . 1 ? in the Eastern Snails from Kansas, than the President besought him to resign, in milk,. to relieve thn Chief Magistrate of the Union from the embarrassment in widen he found himself. By way of in ducement the Pre-Went proposed to con fer on Governor Reeder the appointment of Commissioner to Chien, then vacant by the return of Mr. McLane. This the 4lovernor promptly declined. This prof fer having thus proven insufficient the President made a higher hid.• He now paid that on condition of Reeder's vacating the Governorship in Kansas, he mould gipe him the place of .dmhasemlor to En gland; from which Mr. Buchanan was soon to relent. The splendor of this pro position was a matter to consider, and after two days the Governor gave his ul timatum. He offered to resign if the President would write him a letter asking him to do so, and publish it in the Union, together with his reply ; it being under stood that his appointment to England should he gazetted immediately after. Thu President refused to publish such a cor respondence, and the Governor according ly left him under the necessity of turning out a Territorial Executive for the sole reason that he would not lend himself to the establishment of slavery by foreign invasion and eonquost, against the will of the vast liPliOrlly of the people of the Territory." THE Pits ELECTION. -1 por 'lion of the So them press have lately been speculating with some earnestness upon 'the chances of the next Presidential clec tine. With a keenness which is charao .teristut, they have already perceived what -has escaped the attention of most persons in this section, that the present condition -of political affairs is such as to render it likely that a President may he elected op. 'posed to the extension of slavery. The view is this. When there are two parties in the field with their candidates, one or 'the •other must he successful ; but with three strong parties, each able to carry number of Shies, and having an exclusive candidate of its own, there is likely to be .no eleition by the people. In that event the duty •of choosing a President will de volve upon the House of Representatives. That body already contains a blear major ity of opponents of the extension of slave ry, and they would determine the result. This is the case in a nutshell.—Phil. Amer.
