LIRETUREN :—The time for Ration le at

I should• address you and urge you to
active preparation for the coining election.
The result 'of our last State elec.
lion. and our subsequent growth, give
every reason'for hope of triumph. But
the , results Of the session of our last Na
tional Council, are well calculated to a•
waken anxiety. It remains to be seen
how tar our repudiation of the pro-slavery
article adopted by the National Council
will enable us to maintain our ground and
petition_ in-the Sitte• Tho _ lisaeritttle
members. I aur inforthria, - tire - in:ionizing a
State Conocil,'and will proliably attempt
to contest our right to represent:3llmi in
the National Council. In case of; their
success, it will depend solely on ourselves
hew we enter into the arena forth° Pre'ri-
4ential. canvass.. The time may 'come,
indeedthe time has come for Penntlylvania
,to assert• her: rights, and demand ,conces•
sins, rather than make them.. We. can
never submit to-bia bought or cajoled into
a . false pos:tion or false measures.. We
must defend the 'principles we have en
dorsed, and defend them to die last.
r. The American party was established
for certain clear and well defined purposes.
It bad the pure and lofty- aim,.,to bring
back the government of the State and of
the country. to the purity of former days,;
to recall, if possible, the national spirit that
animated the fathers and founders of the
.Republic in the adininstration of public af
fairs. In order to this, it was necessary
that the foreign influence which, more
perhaps than all othur causes, has contri
bitted to the corruption of our politics,
should bo put down ; and that the politi
cians should be taught that the American
.
people must he governed,on American
principles. Before nue, glorious,. party .
stepped forth in its :night and majesty, the
interests, the virtue and integrity of the
American masses had twerywherei been
played "with, abused; or set aside, by cor-
rupt combinations between ambitious Gem
,agoguss on the one hand, and_a political
(Attach, backed by hosts of ignorant 'for
eigners, on
,the other.
• The ovil of this
, state of things bad been seen and lainfinted
for many years ; but the old parties, each
of whic h , had iliegraced itsolf by, these cor-
.
rept bargains ,were powerless to correct
them. Hut the heart of the people was
sound ; and it answered to the first trumpet
•
call of the Atnerican party, from one end
of the land to the other. That. call was
--ALet us Unite to put down corruption
in our Pirlities and to secure America (Or
Americans.: Let us manage our local and
State politics as the intereste of the locali
ty and 114 Stale may require ; hut let us
aim, ,our National movement, first of
ail. to put down, once and,furever the
Papal and foreign power which has here
tofure cursed.;and 'debased the politico
and administration of the,country." To
the call, tfica honestly made, the
,people
honestly 'answered.; State rtfter State
wheeled into 'fine, anti there was every
teatton le expect that the glorious example
sett by Pettitsvlienta would be iollowect
by titast, if not 14' all; Ike Statea of the A
inericanUnian, ' .
Ilow has this fair prospect lween blasted,
or, at least. Clouded for a time ? The an
swer is easy. In the callwhieh first rou
sed the people, it was understood that
each Stale was to conduct its local Politics
and to have is own views as a State, with
out intorferiug with 'those of other Statel.
Pennsylvania, for instance, was oppo.
,
sea to 'the extension of slavery, was
to the Nebr. bill,a w as
opposed Nebraska oppos.
ed to the "epee! oh the Alissouri Compro
mise. The Anierican party recognized
this feeling, whildi springs front DO tem
porary or fanatical impulse, but as old as
flonnsylvanisi herself, where the - spirit of
Penn, of Frauklin and of Rush, has ever
animated the whole population. Acid on
this issue the American party went into
the last eletion,—and triumphed.'
A..nd au dAie is►ue it will triumph 'gale
imor. as it ifould have triumphal, in every
Northern Siete. In New York, au at.
ntpt war Made to kgtioict the popular will
igmarlpitivihm. and die result Wai l
SW Abe lintericaa banner there _Oils is
dishonored dust. ' This lesson should lire
been enough. But ilia National Comfeil,
at its June meeting. shut its eyes to- the
daylight. At that Council, by the votes
of States in which no America: triumph
had ever been gained, and by a vote, too,
representing only a small minority of the
voters of the United States, the old trvitn
pet cell was silenced, and a new element
was incorporged into our creed. Had
that Council left the question of Slavery
with the States, as it should have done ;
hail it thrown out the banner •with the
simple mid welktelined issues originally
proposed, there is every reason to believe
that oor party. would . have triumphed in
the fall elections from Main to California.
But the 12th article of the Platforin' adop
ted at Philadelphia put en end to all such
hopes. , It committed the American party
of the free States to a course of policy
which would not have .left it a corporal's
guard in any one, of them. It is, in fact,
a virtual endorstnent of the Nebrasktbill ;
a pledge that our party 'will acquiesce iu
that bill, and in. the violation of the Mis.
snort Compromise . : It stultifies and de
grades us before the' : people ; and, more
than this, it pledgee us to do what we
know to be wrong, and to emit doing
what we know to be 'right. Were we to
obey the command, we should fail before
the people, we should gain no more elec
tions—nor should we deserve to gain
them. ' ' •

The Louisville Riot.
le e i ,Tho determined and persistent ef
forts of tho anti-American Presses to
misrepresent and falsify the origin of the
Louisville riots, and justify the unprovo
iced murder of Ainerican citizens in the
peaceable exercise of their constitutional
priviteges, by. Irish Papists, has inducted
us to give more 'prominence to this topic
than wo should otherwise have done. We
surrender several celuMns'efinir paper to
,
Any to sworn affidavits, which gut the mat
ter to rest, andprOve conclusively not on
ly that these riots bad their origin in the
deliberate and unproioked murder of A
merican citizens, but that the outrage was
premeditated and determined on for days
and weeks befcire by ,the Foreignent, back
ed by the anti-American demagegued who
were seeking to sedum their voteety the
roost debasing appeals to passion mid rpli
gious prejudice. ti'ci these affidavits 'we
invite the calm, serious attention of the
reader. We might•6ll 'inir paper with
similar ones, `equally' strong, but these
will suffice. It is remarkable that the anti-
American pretties estilly exclude from
their columns everytki6g like truthful tes
timony, and content themselves with re
publishing the silly stitements of the anti-
American papers in Louisville, whose edi
tors contributed largelY to producing the
riots by continued daily appeals to the pas
sions of an ignorant foreign population pre
vious to the election, inducing them to be
lieve that the American party was a band
of "midnight assassins," "cut-throats,”
and "church-burners,",iirepured and ready
to deprive Foreign 'dad Catholic voters of
their constitutional rigtts, burn their
churches, and commit any ontrageof which
the imagination couldbonceive: No won
der that the anti-American presses of Lou
isville so earnestly seek to avoid . the res
ponsibility of these 'outrages, even by
gross falsehood. Conscious of the terri
ble guilt resting upon their . souls, with the
bloody sprectres of murdered American
citizens haunting their every thought, it is
not at all surprising that, like the guilty
Maekbeth, they attempt to shako them off
by passionately affirming— .
"Thoit critilst not any /did it—
Never shake thy gory-locks at me 1" V.
But the ghost of Moque would riot 'down'
at the bidding of the guilty murderer, and
these anti-Anicrican thittiagogues will find
.some diffieulty in clearing their -skirts of
the bloody stains new resting upon there.
At all events it, will require something
more than loose assertion and "unmeaning
denunciation to satisfy the Amerian peo
ple that it is right atd proper that Ameri
can citizens should Se ruthlessly - assailed
and intirdered by Foreigners and Papists,
for no other cause than that they dare to
declare that they4otm their. own country
bolore all °them:: do.thia.in-cooking nut

,by the arts of dema
gogues—not perverted by partizan attach
ment—but will heartily respond,—“So may
it ever be—my, otve lanibbefure all other
lands, and, my own people-before all other
people !"
Again we invite attention to the rade
.
vita in' tri-day's paper. They are conclu
sive. But if . more wore needed, we have
it in the Report of a Committee of the Coun
cils of Louisville, appointed to investigate
the facts in regard to the origin and cause
of the riots. From this report, which was
unanitiously adopted, we make one or two
extracts, all coroberativo of the statements
heretofore made by our American friends :
So 'far as our committee are-apprised--
and we believe we are correct in making
the'nesertion—there was not an occurrence
of an improper ur
.serious nature at any
voting place within the city. All disturb
ances-originated' at a distance therefrom,
and were commenced by foreigners with
a wilful and, premeditated de termi nation
to* destroy indiseriminately the lives of

More Papal Interference.
birllia Holiness has lost Piedmont,
and now Mils fair to lose both Switzer
land and Spain. The "allocution," of tho
Pon, (published in the "Star," some
months ago,) having failed 'to reduce the
refractory Piedmontese into subjection to
the Papal power, and the Legisluture hiv
ing refused to repeal the obnoxioui law a
gainst the growing power of the Convents
and ecclesiastical institutions, his Holiness
has issued a ..second "allocution," as we
are advised by the last European steamer.
It roforp to the formor allocution and the
continued refractory ,ponduct of the "oppo.
acute clam Church," and the despair'of
his Holiness to secure a'• redress of . the
wrongs complained of, and laments iu this
wise
nir?, therefore, again raise our apostolic .
voice in your august assembly, and we blame'
anew, wu condemn, and declare null mul of
no 'Wirt, the law aborle mentioned, and'all and
each o,ltheee acts and decrees which hare taken
place in Piedthont to the detriment ftfivligion,
of fhe chuMe, of our autkority,• and of -the
molds of the Holy flee—=acts and decrees of
whiclitve Spoko'yith sorrow in our allocution
of the 22d January-lust. We are, besides,
obliged to declare, with the most ]profound re
gret, that all those in Pied Mont who have not
'titred to propose, approve and sanctiotr the
said meafure, and the law against the church
and the rights of the Holy See, that all those
also who 'are employed by them, who give sup
port, counsel and adheston„ and who execute
their order's, have incurred major. ex-comma.
ideation and the other ecclesiasticid penalties
avid censures enacted by the holy canons, the
apostolic constitutions, and the decrees of gen
eral eonneils, particularly those of the Council
of Trent,"
All this will sound sontewhed strangely
to those Who have given !iced to the Jesuit
allegations that the temporal supremacy
of the Pope is not an accredited dogrb a of
the Catholic Church. • BROWNSON cer
tainly has the Pope himself on his side;
and in avowing the dogma, only shows
that he is more bold and honest than some
of his Jesuit co-laborers. If the Pope of
Rome has tho right to declare null and
void the laws of Sardinia, and absolve tho l
Catholic subjects front' obedience to its
government, what istoprevent him doing
the same thine in the United States, when
ever occasion may call for it ?
But Piedmont is not the only country
that is exercising the patience of his Ho
liness. Switzerland and Spain, following
the example of the refractory Piedmon
tese, have enacted similar laws against co
clesiaitical establishments, and have evo
ked
from Route anathemas similar to those
denotinced against Piedmont. Tho Papal
Charge d'Affaires at Madrid has been or
dered to remit% to Rome, and his Holi
ness addresses an allocution to the Spanish
Cortez, in which, after reciting the griev
ances resulting from their legislation, he
says : ,
""liaising our yoke in your nssembly, we
complain of all that the lay government has
done auttis still doing in Spain, unjustly a

law; 'the authority of the Bishops prevented
in the exercise of the sacred ministry; the vio
lence employed against them ;' and the patri
mony of the church usurped in spite of all Di
vine and human laws. We therefore in virtue
of our apostolic authority censure, abrogate,
and declare Without value and without tom,
null and 0: no effect, fur lbe part and die fu
ture, the raid /airs and dccrre.q. Ludy, we,
with all our power, warn the authors of nil
these audacious acts, and we exhort and sup
plicate them to consider seriously that those
who do Hot fear to afflict and torment the lio
ly Church of (led, cannot escape from the hand
of the Almighty."
After a few words of praise to the' bid:•
Ind clergy of Spain, and the faithful'
who 'have supported them, the Popo con
cludes by a brief reference to the woes
which sillict the Church in Switzer
land :
"Wo must also toll you, venerable brethren,
that we suffer indescribably nt the deplorable
state to which our most holy religion is redu
ced in Switzerland, and especially—oh sorrow I
—in sonic of the principal Catholic towns of
the confederated cantons. There the power of
the Catholic Church and of its liberty are op
pressed, the authority of the Bishops and of this
Apostolic See are trampled nailer foot, the
sanctity of marriage and of oaths is violated
and despised, the seminaries of priests and mo
nasteries of religious families are either en
tirely destroyed ur completel y subjected to the
arbitrary power of the civil government, the
nomination of benefices and ecclesiastical poi
possessions is usurped, and the Catholic
clergy are persecuted in the most deplorable
manner."
His Holiness goes on to give the Swiss
to underbtand that unless they speedily
mend their ways, ho will be under the
necessity of administering the "severe dis
cipline of -the church," and concludes by
calling on the Assembly to pray constant
ly to the God of mercy . "to aid his holy
church, which is overwhelmed by so - many
calamities."

church, and marched to a beautiful grove a
short distance off, right into the heart of the

procession : • .
1. The orators of the day and children d'art
school ; and 2, the permits and visitors bring
lug up the rear ; making such a display as was
nevermitnessed airing that road. -

called to order by the election of Mr. Davin

the opening adcliess by J. SnAw Prmtcs, on
the "Rise, progress, and utility of Sabbath
