From the Wasiiionton Union Aggression and Interference in the Af- fairs of the Territories and States The secret of most of our political and so cial troubles in the United States is the spirit of aggression and interference; and we charge that, in every instance, this spirit has been set on foot, fomented, and pushed to extremi ties, by the opponents, however called, of the democratic party. he spirit of the consti tution is that of non-intervention and equali ty—the independence of the States in their local affairs, consistent with their relations for general purposes to the requirements of the federal compact. Wisely following the lead thus clearly marked out by the fathers, the democracy, from the days of Jefferson down to the present Moment, have studiously avoided all interposition against that highest of all human franchises, the right of the peo ple to manage their own affairs. If we glance back at the prominent land marks in our history, we shall be strongly startled by the spectacle presented in confir mation of these premises. The Bank of the United States was a wanton, persistent, and organized interference with the government. It set itself up as a rival against the federal power, and, because it had managed to con trol local politics and State legislatures, arro gantly assumed to domineer over the Chief Magistrate of the United States and the rep resentatives of the people. Happily for our posterity and the masses in those days, this great rival encountered in Andrew Jackson the personification of that truly national sen timent which still lives in the brests of the American people. About the same time aboli tionism attempted to interfere with the rights of the States by pouring into the South my riades of inflammatory documents against the institutions of onr fellow-citizens in that re gion; but the democracy resisted and arrested the underttking. The tariff of 1842 was a flagrant interference with the rights of labor, and was put down by the democratic party in the midst of an unprecedented clamor.— The bankrupt law was an infraction of the obligations between man and man, and, had it not been sternly met and repudiated by the democratic party, the wide-spread ruin which marked its brief existence would have con vulsed the nation from its centre to its cir cumference, even to the present hour. Nor has this spirit of aggression and inter ference been confined to a party in our midst. Its base of operations is in Great Britain; and the enemies of free institutions in that part of the world, imitating abolitionism in its ha tred of the example set to the oppressed of the Old World by the success of liberal laws on these shores, has sought every occasion to gratify its hypocritical hostility to slavery by introducing offensively into the affairs of our citizens. And at this day the sign-by which abOlitionisna hopes to conquor is aggression upon the rights of the States and interference in the affairs of the Territories. The black republicans under Seward fear to trust the people. They repose their faith not in the popular will, whether in settled communities or in those organized assemblies from which States are created, but in the de crees of Congress, in the dictation of orrogant and impulsive majorities, and in the intrigues of aspiring demagogues, who reserve to themselves the superior power of managing for others who are best able to take care of themselves. The advocates of congressional intervention have before their eyes a speci men of congressional unanimity and dignity in the present Congress. These are the would-be masters of the American Territor ies! This divided and discordant array of factions, unable to keep itself together, utter ly incompetent to manage itself, aspires with inconceivable infatuation to extend its deso lating misrule over the affairs of the people, and to set up its own rash judgments against the men whose destinies are intertwined with the future of our territorial system. What but aggression of the grossest and most flagrant character is the doctrine enun ciated by Mr. Sewart in his Albany speech, that no State shall be admitted into this Uni on unless the constitution of that State shall suit him and his followers? To illustrate the dangers which must spring from the applica tion of this doctrine, let us suppose that South Carolina should set itself up to interfere with the concerns of New York, and should at tempt to teach to the people of the Empire State another system of morals, and should say that the voice of those immediately con cerned should not decide, but that compara tive strangers should be the arbiters. What would be the answer? Need we say that the attempt would be repulsed with ineffable scorn and indignation? And yet, while Mr. Seward and his followers would resist the ap plication of their own idea to themselves, they do not stop to ask that it may be extended to others; they do not stop to see how the people of a new State may rise up against the effort to force upon them the control of men who have no immediate concern in what theylin dertake to manage; who have no right in law; who are prohibited so far by the constitution that their consent only is required, and that consent so distinctly called for that to refuse it is to deny to the new State the same privil eges conceded to the old States. Written in broad arid luminous letters up on the immortal pages of the constitution are the many sterling pledges which these fana tics would ignore—the living protests through all time against the intervention of Congress and the aggression of factions. And yet, in studied defiance of these pled ges and protests, we find aggressions at this day the rule by which infuriated parties would seek to ruin our happy country. It is not enough that they should maintain their peculiar notions on the subject of slavery.— They do not stop with these; but, -eager for mischief, they combine for the purpose of destroying the rights of the - southern States, and of disturbing the southern people in the peaceful enjoyment of their domestic institu tions. If Kansas remains in a territorial con dition, they will insist upon depriving the people thereof the right to manage their own affairs; and when it is offered to Congress for admission as a State, they will be arrayed ag,ainst it unless its constitution should be framed in accordance with their desires! BUt aggressions and interference are the favorite weapons'of the factions of the pres ent day on other subjects. The democratic party occupies ground precisely different.— The opposition interferes on the subject of temperance, on the subject of religion, on the subject of suffrage, and wherever it inter feres it is aggressive. When three thousand clergymen, impelled by a sudden impulse, left their pulpits for the sake of taking part in politics and becoming candidates for Con gress, it was a double abandonment of duty; they first deserted their holy calling, and next .interfered among the combinations of passionate and ambitious men, rendering themselves firebrands in the true sense of the term ) and not, as they were sent to be, peace makers and friends. When the know-nothings set up their sten pard they intruded themselves between the conscience and the Deity, and in this perpe trated an aggression of the most crual charac ter. It is easy to pass from one stage of in terference to another, and we have not been surprised that know-nothingism should ex tend the,spirit of interference from the con science o`f men , to the constitution of the coun try, and from the lights of individuals to, the rights of the States. It is singular and significant how the ftin damental principle of all moral law guards against this interference in the concerns of the people. And it is ano less - positive truth that the constitution of the United States is based upori the same principle. Animated by this great idea, and obedient to the teach ings of that immortal instrument, it is fortu nate for us, as a free people, that while the opposition to the democracy constantly- prac tises interference and aggression, the demo cratic party no less constantly denounces and defeats them. From the Louisiana Courrier. Know-Nothingism in the South The South is now begining to experience the baneful effects of know=nothingism.— The seed which this dangerous party had cast into our soil has taken root with fright ful rapidity, and is producing fruits the bit terness of which is being sensibly felt among all the truly national men of the Union. It has brought into agitation with renewed fu ry the most vexed sectional issues, and suc ceeded in carrying to power a large number of its proselytes pledged to keep them prom inently before the people, and to exert all I their efforts to promote heir ultimate tri umph. Never was abolitionism more ram pant than at the present time—never did the fell spirit of abolitionism instil its poison with more certainty and effect. Contrast the present condition of the coun try with what it was two years ago, and how changed is the scene ! At that period , our halls o legislation were in the keeping of the sturdy democracy and national Whigs of the country. The enemies of the South and the advocates of negrophilism—though in a helpless minority, unheeded, contemned ; —attempted to revive the dangerous agita tion of the slavery issue, but were foiled in their schemes, thanks to the unflinching de- I votion of northern and southern patriots. A bill, the object of which was to repeal a pseu do-compromise, which, when interest requi red, was always discarded by the North, and which infringed upon the cor.stitutional rights of the South, was passed. The principles of that measure were essentially the same as those enunciated and advocated by the fath ers and founders of the republic, viz: that Congress had no right to determine whether slavery should exist or not hi national terri tories, but that the question should be left open for decision, according to the wishes , and interests of the people residing therein. These were the doctrines laid down in the Kansas-Nebraska act, introduced by Richard son in the House and Douglas in the Senate. After a warm and protracted debate, the measure was carried, approved by the Exec utive, and received the sanction of all the Union-loving men of the country. It was thought by them that the vexed question of slavery, decided as it had been on principles which injured the interests of neither sec e tion of the land, and which was left entirely to the arbitrament of the people, would have received its final quietus. But such was not the case, The north, or - rather that portion of it under which blue laws, abolitionism, and the spirit of faction flourish in unchecked growth, conceived the design of carrying out its projects under a guise so novel and attractive as easily to de lude the unwary and the ignorant. The snare which they adopted was know-noth ingism. By arraying the religions prejudi ces of the descendants of the Puritans against a denomination which vas represented as si lently working the downfall of the republic ; by insidiously instilling into the minds of the laboring classes feelings of envy and jealousy against those mechanics of foreign birth whose avocations frequently brought them in contact, and perhaps in competition, with them; and by skilfully using the lever of an ti-slavery upon the fulcrum of sectional ha treds and passions the leaders of the move-; ment soon saw hundreds and thousands of young enthusiasts, gray-headed abolitionists, disappointed demagogues, and ambitious wire'; pullet-r e flocking to their standards and array ing themselves into a body, the invincibility of which was said to be unquestionable.— What was the result ? It can be clearly seen in the Congress now in session. Every northern representative who stood upon the Nebraska platform, and had the patriotism to vote according to the dictates of conscience and equity, was unmercifully sacrificed, and a rampant abolitionist elected in his stead.— It was immateriaL to what political creed he ; might have been attached, whether that of de mocracy or whiggery : know-nothingism needed victims, and ruthlessly glutted its vengeance. This was the stab inflicted up on the vitals of the South by that, heterogene ous conglomeration of isms, miscalled the "American party"—a stab from which she has not entirely recovered, and a repetition of which it will require the undivided exertions of the democracy to avert. The difficulties which are now occurring in Kansas,. the state of anarchy and disorder into which this unhappy Territory has been plunged, nay, the civil war which threatens to break out at every moment, are undoubt edly the work of know-nothingism. It is a matter of fact which events in the North have fully corroborated, that the principal aim and purpose of the new fangled party - Was to se cure a majority of members in Congress op posed to slavery ; for the purpose of defeating any attempt to introduce Kansas into the Union as a slave State. It is, also, a matter of public notoriety that, for months back, a secret political and military society has been formed in that Territory for carrying freesoil measures into operation, the chief of the or der being styled "the General," and his sub ordinates officered according to their respec tive stations. This is the second evil which know-not hingisra has entailed upon the South --the creation of new political secret organiza tions, heretofore unknown in our country's history, and incompatible with onr institu tions and the spirit of liberty. It is a matter of satisfaction to all good democrats through out the land to know that while others have been plotting against the true interests of their country, and lending aid and comfort to those who have been seeking its destruction for years past, they at least have been true to their creed, to the laws, and to the Union.— Even now, while know-nothingism is openly showing its hands in Congress, while free , soilisrn threatens to elevate to the Speaker ship of the House an abolition agitator, the eyes of the South—nay, of the whole Country ' .—are turned up toward the democracy as the only party which deserves its confidence, and which offers guarantees of order and tranquility. It is a tribute due to genuine patriotism and to unfaltering attachment to republican principles. The Spirit of the Democracy. Illinois has no second choice. It is Doug las before all other men ; yet the representa tives of Illinois will go to that convention with no other instructions than to vote for that man- who deserves to be the nominee of the only party in the United States which dare assert and maintain that the constitu tien is the only bond of the Union, and that the Union, without the Constitution practi cally observed, is but a solemn mockery of freedom, justice and equity. Demodracy of Illinois will support any man who is the nominee of that Convention, and they forbear presenting the name of their own favorite, because they wish to go into that Convention as faithful, unprejudiced umpires in the choice of candidates—Chicago Times. It is this spirit—the spirit that induces the prominent statesmen of the Democratic party to sink all personal wishes and aspirations in their feeline , for the common cause, and to withhold their names from the canvass, in or der that the representatives of the party shall come together in National Convention - free to choose their leader, untrammelled by prefer ences—it is this spirit that is to redeem the fortunes of the party, and restore its ascend ancy—.Albauy Atlas. The paragraph which we quote above from the Cliziago . Times, appears in an article which says, "Senator Douglas is not now, nor has he ever . been a candidate for the Presidential nomination. No man' is now or ever has been authorized by him to use his name in or out of that convention, nor will that authority be given;" and the one from the Atlas is a comment upon the judicious re marks of the Times. We give them both as evidences that a really democratic spirit per vades the leaders as weil as the ranks of the democracy. Men are every where willing to sacrifice personal ambition and even per sonal interest for the good of the party to which they belong and the triumph of the principles which they consider vital to the nation. If this feeling prevails, as we have every reason to suppose it will, till the meet ing of the Cincinnati Convention, there Will be a gathering of democrats such as has not. been seen in this country for many a year.— Buffalo Courier. The Know-Nothings .Aiding England We copy from that faithful and able Dem ocratic journal, the Richmond Enquire, the following view of the effect of Know-Noth ingism upon the interest and security of our country : The Pseudo-Americans have, already, not only stopped emigration from Canada to our territories, and diverted a vast amount from Europe intended for this country to Canada, but they have also, by persecution and vio lence, expelled many of our foreign-born cit izens, and started a stream of emigration from our dominion to those of England.— Thus they will build up a mighty power North of us, of justly incensed and implaca ble enemies. These enemies, too, will be men as independent in their feelings and as warlike as ourselves. The Canadians resem ble not the oppressed, degraded, down-trod den, cowering peasantry of England. The ex perience of the last war with England leaves no room for doubt on that subject. But for the Know-Nothings, Canada would soon have declared herself independent, and become our friend and ally: They are endeavoring to make her our only famic3.ble enemy.— All of Europe combined could not successful ly assail us, because they could not reach us; but, build up a great power on this continent. North of us, and we shall have formidable if not dangerous enemies. The Know-Noth ings have not reflected on these consequen ces of their action, or they would surely de sist from their cruel proscription and persecu tion of Catholics and foreigners. England's sole reliance to check our growth and prosperity, is the more rapid growth of Canada—a growth which the Know-Noth ings are trying to accelerate a hundred fold. Rehd the following from a bitter and abusive article from an English paper, which we pub lished in the Enquirer of 29th November: "In Canada, too, we are calling into exis tence a noble people, on a vast and magnifi cent territory, destined to become a prepon dering element to Yankee aggressive violence in the New World, already increasing in prosperity and population even more rapidly than the United States, and not only arres ting the tide of emigration thither by -its growing attractiveness, but actually drawing from thm their best citizens." Why didn't the S. N. Party carry Lou- isiana. The editor of the New Orleans Crescent who has been a good deal bored by corres pondents inquiring why the k. n. party did not carry Louisiana, takes his text from one of their letters, and thus discourses; "Why didn't you carry Louisiana? We all expected you would up here." "Y-'u "all expected" we tvould up there, did you? Well, we expect you are confound edly disappointed. We expected to carry Louisiana down here, but we didn't for the enemy "played on a harp uv a thousand strings," and deluded too many people into voting the wrong ticket! "You want to know how this happened'?" We'll tell you in short order—quicker than a short horse was ever curried. In the Catho lic parishes the people voted against our tick et because they were told by high priests, scribes, Pharisees and Saducees of the enemy, eaeh one of whom "played on a harp of a thou-sand strings," that we were opposed to Catholics. In the protestant parishes; the people vo ted against our ticket because they were toad by men in authority that we were opposes to Protestants because we nominated a Catholic as a candidate for Governor and each man in anthority, as he concluded, "played upon a harp of a thou-sand sti ings," and thereby en ticed the people to follow in their footsteps. And, then, five-sixths of the foreigners vo ted against us because they were told that the diabolical know-nothings intended to ham string every mother's son of them, after the election, and the oraters aforesaid in the most earnest manner imaginable, played on a harp uv a thou-sand strings," and the foreigners followed the music. And it rained over all the interior on the day of the election, and so about two thou sand of our folks, having fear of wetting their beloved feet before their eyes, am!. hav ing each one purchased a "a harp uv a thou sand strings," concluded to•stay at home and practice music. Furthermore, and in addition to the fore going reasons, we didn't and couldn't—found it utterly impossible—to get votes enough, for the enemy "played on a harp uv a thou sand strings," and great multitudes followed and joined with the harps. P. S.—lf our correspondent isn't satisfied with this luminoue explanation, he must put his interrogatories in a different shape, and we will endeavor to answer them, at least to the best of our ability. We may (We want this kept secret) by continually trying our hand, arrive at the true reason ourselves ! N. B.—lt is positively untrue that the American party has ordered ten thousand harps—each "uv a thou-sand strings,"—for use during the next Presidential campaign.— We desire to nip this atrocious calumny in the bud. What a Newspaper does for Nothing. The following article should be read' and pondered well by every man who takes a newspaper without paying for it: The result of my observation enables me to state, as a fact, that publishers of newspa pers are more poorly rewarded than any class of men in the United States, who invest an equal amount of labor, capital and thought.— They are expected to do more service for less pay, to'stand more sponging and "dead-head ing," to puff and defend more people, with out fee or hope of reward, than any other class. They credit wider and longer; get oftener cheated ;'suffer more pecuniary loss, and of tener the victims of misplaced confidence, than any other calling in the community.— People pay a printer's bill more reluctantly than any other. It goes harder with them to expad a dollar on a valuable newspaper, than ten on a needless gewgaw; vet every body avails himself of the use of the editor's pen and printer's ink. Bow many professional and political reputations and fortunes have been made and sustained by the friendly, though unrequited pen of the editor? How many embryo towns and cities have been brought into notice, and puffed into prosperi ty by the press? How many railroads, now in successful operation, would - have founder ed but for the assistance of the "lever that moves the world;' in short, what branch, of American industry or activity has not been promoted, stimulated and defended by the press? And who has tendered it more than a miserable pittance for its mighty services ?- The bazaars of fashion, and the haunts of ap- petite and dissipation, are thronged with an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the commodities there vended are sold at enormous profits:flout - 1 intrinsically worth less, and paid for with scrupulous punctuali ty ; while the counting-room of the newspa per is the seat of jewing, cheapening trade, Orders and pennies. It is made a point of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not a dis honor to repudiate a printer's bill. Fashionable Church in New York. You enter the church porch. The portly sexton, with his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, meets you at the door. He glances at you, your coat and hat are new, so he gra- ciously escotts you to an elegible seat in the broad aisle. Close behind you follows a poor, meek, plainly clad seamstress, relieved from her treadmill round to think s one day in seven of the Immortal. The sexton is struck with sudden blindness. She stands embar rassed_ one moment, then, as the truth dawns upon her, retraces, her steps, and, with a crimson blush,' re-crosses the threshold which she'has profaned with her plebian feet. Hark to the organ. It is a strain from Norma, slightly Sabbath-ized. Now the worship pers one after another glide in—silks rattle-- plumes wave--satin glistens—diamonds glit ter, and scores of forty dollar hanker-chiefs shake out their perfumed odors. What an absurdity to preach the Gospel of the lowly Nazarene to such a set. The clergyman knows better than to do so. He values his fat salary and handsome parsonage too high ly. So with a velvet tread he walks Ml - romid the ten commandments—places the downiest pillow under the profligate's head— and ushers him with seraphic hymning into an upper ten Heaven.—Fanny Fern.

SCOTT & CO., NEW YORK, continutoo publish the following leading British Peri. odicals, viz: The London Quarterly (Conservative) The Edinburg Review (Whig) . 3. The North British Review (Free Church). 4. The Westminster Review (Liberal). 5. Blackwood's Edinburg Magazine (Tory). The great and important events—Religious, Political, and Military—now agitating the na tions of the Old World, give to these Fublica -Lions an interest and value they never before pos sesseti. They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news-items, crude specula tions, and flying rumors of the newspaper, and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after the living interest in the facts he records shall have passed away. The progress of the War in the East occupies a large space in their pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from tha Crimea and from the - Baltic in Black wood's Magazine, from two of its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and reliable account of the movements of the great belligerents than can elsewhere be found. These Periodicals ably represent the three great political parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical.—but politics forms only one feature of their character. As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Literature, Morali ty, and Religion, they stand, as they ever have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being considered indispensable to the scholar and the professional man, while to the intelligent reader of every class they furnish a more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of the day, throughout the world, than can be possibly obtained from any other source.
