" But the old party is not dead yet, and will not die to accommodate its pie-bald foes. It. has a high and noble mission yet to perform,—and it will live to perform it. It is for the reason that it is a party of positive principles and ideas, that it has proved faithful to the Constitution, to the Union, and to the sovereignty of the States aml the people—that it is , :‘ party of stabil ity and wise and enligliteneil progress— it is for thcseic;sons that the patriotic young mon of the country enlist under its standard, and identify themselves with it.

What possible motive could a gencrees and intelligent young man have for joining the sick, dying Know-Nothing- Republican* party?—a party t is ever ehanging—that raffles its prin s les and its name away every few years—and whose only bond that unites its discord ant segments, is hatred of the Demo cratic party, and an intense love of the spoils—of office? A young man or an old man who would marry into such a political family, must be in iniminent danger of being consumed by passion and prejudice." The M9.4P3 .1 - resjdent MoNaos, in his Mesons°, Dec., 1823, declared "as a Trine:pie in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free a nd independent position whiel they h ave assumed and mai n tai ned,arp honcefqrth not to bo considerol subjects of future colonization by any European powers. With the Governments which have de clared their independence and maintain ed it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and-oh just prin ciples acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of op pressing them, or controlling in any man ner their dealing, by any European pow. cr, in any other light, than as the man ifestation of an unfriendly .disposition towards the United States." This declaration has ripened into a law of the American heart, and it. is clearly stated by Mr. Casa in his letter to oar Minister to Spain in the follow ing foreiblo and an miitakabk+ language: " The United States will not consent to the subjugation of any of the inde pendent States of this continent .to Eu ropean powers, nor to the exert:in° of a protectorate over them, nor to any other direct political influence to con trot their policy or. institutions.
