Ir'Attempts aro being made in van--
ous parts of the State to revive the old
Whig organization.' For what. end, itisdifft
cult toimagine, unless it bo to give it a for-
Taal interment. In its day, the Whig pir.
ty was one with which the patriot could
proudly -battle, and it had our best efforts
.amid sunshiuo and storm. But it has
served its purpose. • The campaign o
. 1852 demonstrated beyond all question
that its destiny was sealed. The' hesini
tion of its chosen leaders to grasp the
growing issues of the day, with taw aid of
secret traitors and cotton-hearted Silver-
Grey ism, inflicted upon the party an
parable and fatal wound. It is probably
well that it was so. In the 'breaking up
of old effete political organizations, and
the disruption of -partizan ties, the masses
of the country, sympathizing with the'
great humanitarian sentiment of the day,
and breathing a thorough spirit Hof devo
tion to American policy. can the more
readily combine in a movement which
shall distinctly reflect that sentiment and
spirit. There are • always to belound iq,
every political organization, then with
views of policy BO profoundly conservative,
ai to be unable to sae merit beyond the
narrow limits of a onto conceived and ut
tered creed of principles,—"croakers" in
the' ranks, ever objecting to this" innova
tion and that, and alwiya ready to mark
11 candidata suspented_of having sufficient
heart to sympathize with. ;iho progressive
spirit of Reform.. Such men can be found
in all political organizations. a. constant
incubus upon their operationi., and such
men the Whig party had in sufficient a
bundance to clog and defeat its approaches
to triumph. Such men will of course:now
find theinselves unable to abandciif the
“old-fishioned, time-honored armor" and
to vindicate their mania for conservatism,
may prefer to battle on under a banner
again and again doomed to dishonor by'
their own perfidy and folly. Others there
may be—true Whigs, who have borne the
brunt of battle amid triumph and defeat—
who have bechme attached to the colors
under which they have• long and earnestly
battled, and who find it hard to strike
those colors, oven in , the face of certain
and inevitable disaster. But why pro
tract a contest so utterly hopeless ?
The masses of the Whig party, wearied
by successive reverses. and despairing of
ridding the organization of the cold con
servatism that for years has been repres
sing its energies, have abandoned it and
united with other organizations breathing
a truer spirit of devotion to the.swelling
, tide of the popular spirit of reform. The
heart of the ounntry has taken hold of new
issuei—issues' of momentous importance,
affecting the glory and continued well-be
ing of the Republic. These issues have
been gradually forcing themselves upon
popular notice, by reason of of the increas
big corruption of old partizan leaders, the
growing power of Foreign influence in the
control of all our political agencies, and
the agressive strides of slavery propogand
lets •in their warfare upon Freedom.—
These issues are now . upon us. and must be
met. Why hazard the result, by idle at.
tempts to, resuscitate old and worn-out
political combinations. The Whig party
is dead—dead beyond' all &the' of ream.-
rection. Its resuscitation may bedreamed
of by lively fancies-4ut as a practical re
ality the idea will be found as visionary
andishadowless as the fabled Phoapix of old
en story. It is gone--gone with its
rieo, its virtues, and its follies. Require

-Senator Clemens ant" American- I
huh.
serfille Hon. JEREMIAH CLEMENS, of
Alabama, one of the most prominent Dem
ocratic politicians in Alabama, and for.
morly United States Senator, has connec
ted himself with the American orgaidra
tion, and has published a lengthy and ably
Written letter in defence of the Order, in
the course cif which ho deals the following
hard , blow at the caucus arrangements of
the old political organisations. Hitherto
a prominent leader in the Demooratio ranks,
and familiar with caucus operations, his
views are ~worthy of note. They. are,
moreover, true to the lettor4 ; We hoar 4
good deal of mock indignatien from the
anti-Arneriastr Press,- in regard to the
useereey" of the 'American COuneils and
the "slavish" character of their oblige.
tions. And yet there never was a disci
pline half so secret or slavish as that
which those samo.anti-American Presses
seek to impostinpon the Democratic mass
es by means of their secret cations councils,
to which none but a few tried leaders are'
admitted. and the proceedings of which
aro uniformly a sealed letter to the voting
masses. Odious and objectionable as this
caucus system always has been, it becomes
doubly obnoxious in view of the oaths and
pledges of fidelity to "caucus nominees"
which aro now being superadded as an
additional security by which to bind the
party to its leaders. How different from
all this, the purely Democratic policy of
the American organization. Every mem
ber of the party is entitled not only to ad
mission-into the Council meetings, and to
a full particiiation in all its deliberations;
but no nomination can be effected, no prin
ciple adopted, no policy recommended,
without giving to every member an oppor
tunity to oast his ballot or express his
views fully and freely. It is true the A
merican party does not sec.& to keep their
political opponents advised as to their do
ings, but in this they only imitate the policy
of the anti-American party—the main dif
ference being that while the former keep
their membership fully informed as to the
deliberations and determinations of the
the Councils, the latter keep their caucus
deliberations as carefully veiled from the
masses oftheir own party as they do from
their political rivals. Which is the more
Democratic ?
Mr. CLEssErrs' view of Democratic Cau
cus doings although drawn for Alabama,
wilt be recognized as eminently suited to
this particular region :' "
"I have seen onecolumn of a newspaper
filled with denunciations of the secret fea
ture of the order, while the next not only
purported to give the 'principles of the par
ty, but even the very. forms of initiation.
One thing is certain. either those forms
were forgeries, or all the indignant , denun
ciations of secrecywith*hich we have
been fevered were hypocritical pretences in
no way creditable to 'those who employ
them. All parties observe More or less
secrecy in relation to certain portions of
their tactiCs. The secrets' of the Demo
cratic Caucus are as profound as those of
the Know Nothing Council, and the will
of every member is more completely sub- .
jetted to the control of the majority.
Know Nothing, aftek.his party has made
a nomination, may tibandon his order.
and thus rid himself of all obligation to
support it, but a Democrat Who has once
taken part in a Cancun is held in honor
bound to the decision °Mit Caucus, no
matter how thstastelul it may be. If the
'term "Dark Lantern Party" was applied
to the midnight Orating of those who man
ufseture in caucuses and Conventions
Candidates without consulting the will of
the people, it would be much more appro.
priate.' The State and the National Coun
cils having both removed the injunction of
secrecy that repoach is disposed of; in
point of fact it never existed. Their prin
ciples were known from the beginning, and
lie must have been ignorant indeed who
had any doubt of the aims and purposes
of the order."
Mr. CLEMENS argues the demoralising
influences of the immigrant population,
and says :
. By reference to the annual report of the
Governors of the Alms House, I find that
there was in the New York Alms Howie
during the year 1858, 2198 inmates—of
these only .535 were natives, and 1003
foreigners, supported at the expense of the
city. And.now I propose to use on our
aide the argument of our opponents that
there are only. 3,000.000 foreigners to 20,-
000,000.natIves. Ageording to that ratio
there ought to be about '7 natives to one
foreigner in the Alms House: I Whereas
we find more than 3 toreignere.to one na
tive. No wonder that a people who are
taxed to support such a body of paupers
phould be .the first to set about'devising
uterine to get rid.of them. Let us pursue
the record—in the Bellevue Hospital, in
the same city, were 702 Americans-4134
Foreigners ; how the proport ion rises
nearly six to one. There of out door poor
—that is persons who had some place to
sleep, but nothing to eat & nothing to make
a Etre-957 were native adults, and.. 1044
children-3131 foreign adults, and 5229
foreign children, or children born of for
eignparents. This number were relieved
during, the year with money. Of those
relieved with fuel, there were 1248 adult
Americans and 1801 children ; 10,355 a
dnli Foreigners and 17,857 children. . But'
the record is not yet complete—let us turn
to the statistics of crime. In the city pri.
cone there were during the year 6,102
Americans-22,229 Foreigners. I pass
on to an abode even more gloomy than
that of the prison cell, and call your atten
tion to those whom God in his wisdom
has seen fit to deprive of the light of rea
son. In the Lunatic Asylum there were
admitted from the year 1847 to 1853, 779
Americans-2381 Foreigners. For the
year 1853 there were 94 Americana--393
Foreigners. These tables might be made

'gars, but of these I have no reliable data,
and therefore pass them with the single
remark that I have never seen a Native
American who belonged to either class.—
These figures are far more conclusive
than any linguage could be to prove the
necessity of arresting the tide of emigra
tion. Let every American impress them
deeply upon his memory. 42,369 foreign
paupers and invalids, 2381 lunatics, and
22,229 criminals taxing the industry, and ,
blighting•the prosperity of a single city.—*
In that list of crime is embraced murder,
rape, arson, robbery, perjury, everything
which is damning to the character of the
individual, and every thing which is dan
gerous to society. In our section we. see
but little of the evils of emigration—com
pel surely few come among us; and . thobe
are generally of the best classes of their
countrymen. It is not as a State that wo
suffer moat but as an integral part of the
Republic. The crime, vice, disease, des
titution and beggary which flow in every
tido of emigration afflict us but little ; it
is through their political action, in their
capacity of voters ihat.the curse extends
itself to us. When thousands upon thoo ;
sands are earried . to the polls and made to
vote in favor of dity midi or any party for
a shilling, corrupting 'the . ballot: box, and
rendering liberty insecure, then we suffer
—then the law•of •self-pteeervation gives
us a right, and makes it , a duty.to, inter
poise. With such dangers thiekoning a
round us, the memorable order of Gen.
Washington should be'upon every ' mait's
lips : ""Put' none but Americans on guard .
to-night." In time of peace your public
officers are your sentinels. ' Put none on
guard whose bosoms do not swell with
exulting pride at the mention of Bunker
Hill, of Monmouth, of Sar'atoga, or of
YorktoWn. Put none on guard whose
national triditions . are not confined to our
own Commonwealth. Put noncron guard
who can dwell''by the hour upon the el
oquence of Daniel O'Connel, but who have
never heard the name of Patrick Henr . fe
Put none on: guard who turn with cold
ittdifference from the story of Niagara,
or New Orleans, to boast of Marengo, or
Leipsic, or Waterloo. They do not " ova
your land as you do—they will not watch
over it with the same absorbing interest.
Oppression, not choice, has brought hint
here, and tho' he may feel a certain amount
of gratitude for the shelter he has found.
he still looks back to the green fields of
his childhood—he remembers eveir stone
upon the highways—he reads the history
of his native land, and partakes of the pride
of its great events—befils heart of hearts
lie feels that there is his home, and there
his holiest affectiors are garnered up.—
Fear, necessity, common sense, may keep' '
him here, but he loves not the land of the
stranger—cares nothing for its former gio
riesqmslteds no tear over its former dins.
tars.
We regret that we have not room
for the whole of this interesting totter.—
Mr. CLEHEss concludes as follows :
Another great danger ive have to dread
is the prevalence of the mischevous dogma
that the Popo is superior to the Cotialitu
tion, and can absolve his flock to support
it. I know how bitterly this is denied ;
but if Amg,ricau Catholics do nut acknowl
edge it, they are widely different from
their brethren elewhere. History is full
of instances of kingdoms laid under inter
dict, monarchs excommunicated, and a
whole people doomed to purgatory for
some real or imaginary fault of their rul
ers. We all remember that a King of
France was assasinated by a Priest at the
bidding of his superiors. We all remem
ber that a King of England was compelled
to walk barefooted, in sackcloth and ashes,
to the tomb of Thomas A. Becket, and
that the great Bruce wandered for years as
an outlaw, hunted by imagine nod blood
hounds. for daring to . punish a traitor .to
biocountry within a precincts of a Catiftil
ic church. The best way of judging a
tree is by its fruits, and these fruits are
familiar to us all.
It is objected, however, that the Consti
tution secures the right of worshipping
God as he pleases, and that in proscribing
Catholics we aro guilty of a violation of
that instrument. Not at all. The same
Constitution which gives them the right
of conscience, secures to me the right of
voting as I think best. It does not com
pel me to vote for a Catholic, any more
than it compels me to vote for an Abolition
ist. One may just bo as sincere in his
belief as the other, and both be equally
dangerous to the country. Of that each
voter must judge for himself. There is
no proposition to change the Constitution,
none to pass a law inconsistent with it.—
The American party undertake to show,
precisely as the ;Whig and Demi:ustle
parties undertake lo show for themselves,.
that it is safer for liberty, safer for the Un
ion, sator for religion, to place none but A
merican Protestants in office, and they
leave it to their countryman to decide up
on reason and argument huw far they are
right, how far they are wrong. We do
not propose to disturb their public! worship
—we do not , propose to declare an assem
blage of Catholics unlawful, but we claim
the privilege of voting- to suit. ourselves.
I ran see no difference in the evil tenden
cy of the higher law of Mr. - Se — ward, or
the higher law. of Archbishop Hughes.-
1 do not chose to Vote for either, and he
who attempts to force the tedoso, is guilty
of the ,very proscription he' condemns.

the following account of an armed invasion
into the. territory :
We learn that a party of softie 30'proala
very men met at Hickory Point, ten miles
south of this place. the other day, and made
a move to drive off the free State voters.—
They were soon outnumbered by resident
free State citizens, who met and resolved
to sustain their homes to the last extrem
ity. The pro-slavery men retired from
the field, and thus matters reined until
Thuisday night last when an armed body
of seventy-five or eighty Missourians were
found encamped in a piece of wood in that
locality. Each was arined with a rifle,
a pair of revolvers, and bowie. knife. On
Friday foreuoon they continued in the vi
cinity, apparently waiting additional° their
numbers. It is reported that they deelare
their mission to be to drive every free

Catholic Restriction In the Amer
ican Platform.
In answer to the charge that the Amer-
ican organization is unjust toward Catholics
the Charleston (S. C.) News states the
reasons for, the restriction complained of in
the following succinct terms:
It does not contemplate:
1. Any legal disabilities upon either
Catholics as Christians or the sect as
Chnreh :
2. Nor any deprivation of the right of stir
(rage by. Catholics :nal such
3. Nor any legal ineligibility of them
to olfs:ter- - • • •
On the other hand the Order does and
will require :
I. The legal renunciation by Catholics,
to be naturalized, of all temporal suprem
acy over them in the Pope,.or his secular
government.
2. That members of the order shall not
vote for Roman Catholics for office.
It is this last which is the gist and prac
tical result. of the restriction. But this
does not take away from a Catholic :
1 Any right. There is no such thing
as a right to office in this country.
2. Any privilege. It leaves a Catholic
to run or apply for office, and to get it by
votes or appontinent, if he can.
But on the contrary, it is over y citizen's
right and privilege to vote ornot vote for
whom he pleases, and to agree wtth others
as to bow 'he will east his suffrage.
Yet this refusal to vote for a Catholic is
denounced as religious proscription, for
snail By this construction then, every
cantlidate may be regarded as proscribed,
by those whose votes he cannot obtain I
U(e venture to assert there is as full an un
ilerittanding among Catholics, at least as ali
eoltite accrtainty, that they will not vote fur
me br any of my brethren, because we ad
,vocaie ilmericantsim .as that we will not
vote for them; because they oppose or ob
utrtiet Americanism.
