L . 9 -V
day tcr this time has theimoble -work remained
ttntouched. May it last forever 1
: Bat now, after we Lave enjoyed the bles
sings of these sacred provisions, has a party
arisen in our midst,' and with . secret oath
bound combinations, resolved to plot out this
pure and life-giving principle, and by force
and violence of law restrain and abridge the
liberties of men and limit - their civil rights
by an odious and impious religious test: As
cituens of this mighty Republic, as members
f the reat Democratic party, as men- for
the sake of mankind at large wc call upon
Tou to resist this sacrilege and rebuke Uiese
conspiratore against the honor and dignity of
$ur Constitution and laws. . . , . -
After the adoption of the Constitution, and
during the administration of the elder Adams,
Congress enacted two Statutes, one concern
ing aliens ; and the oiher entitled an act for
the punishment of certain crimes againstahe
United States, known as the Alien and Sedi
tion Laws. Immediately upon the enactment
of these statutes.' the States of Kentucky and
Virginia' passed certain resolutions, condemn
ing them as violations of the letter and spirit
of the Constitution and reprobating them as
gross attempts to establish arbitrary authori
ty and as subversive of the liberties of the
' people The Kentucky resolutions were writ
ten by Sir. Jefferson, and those of Virginia
were written by Mr. Madison, and both of
these were addressed to the Legislatures of
the several States, inviting their co-operation
to resist these Statutes. Some of their Legis
latures refused to co-operate with Virginia
and Kentucky aad pronounced these resolu
tions to be of a dangerous tendency, and
therefore not fit subject for father - considera
tion. : To these refusals the Commonwealth of
Virginia replied in the form of a Report
drawn- by Mr. "Madison, adopted - by the
Legislature of the StOe in 1799. The object
of the Alien law wa3 exposed in these reso
latious and in that llcport, and the mischiev
ous consequences of its adoption were fully
explained and demonstrated in those masterly
papers. In them it was proclaimed to be in
human, impolitic, illegal and irrational for
Congress to restrain the current of emigration
that was setting in towards our shores, caused
by the high tides of civil convulsions and
public discord that were raging in Europe.
Mr.' Jefferson there said that ike Alien law
will furnish new calumnies against republican
governments, and new pretexts for those who
wish it to be believed that man cannot be
governed but by a rod of iron, and that a
very numerous and valuable description of
the inhabitants of these States would, by this
precedent, be reduced as outlaws," and that
'the mild spirit of our country and its laws
bad pledged hospitality and protection to these
friendless strangers." It was denounced by
Mr. Madison in his report, as tyrannical in
its spirit and conferring a despotic power up
on the President, to banish an alien from a
country into which he had been invited as the
-asylum most auspieiovs to his ; happiness, a
couutry where he may have formed the most
tender connections, and where he may have
invested his entire property." -
This law thus resisted, . and nullified, and
defeated, never assumed to do more than ex
ercise a restraining power over Aliess ; and
harsh as it was, had no relation to naturaliza
tion, and no man among the hardiest of its
.supporters at that day, dared to propose the
disfranchi.sement; of emigrants or the abolition
of the naturalization laws. The public that
W9 indignant at the tyrannical spirit of that
statute, would have burst out with one shout
of condemnation at ; any attempt to outlaw
freemen and reduce them to the condition of
slaves, because they were born in another'
country and were of another people. Upon
the rsistance to the Alien and Sedition Laws,
and in support of the principles announced in
those resolutions and that Report of '99, was
Mr. Jefferson oleeted and the Democratic
iparty established as an organized element of
poRk-si acUa ra ttis eooatry. Froin that
day to this, has it been steadfast iu its integ
rity aad purity, upholding and vindicating
the liborties of the country. - - ?
.'. Our CoiK&catioa was ret wrested from the
reluctant haadg of lawless kings. It was the
free compart of free sovereignties f freemen ,
made with each other for their own domestic
advantage in the common cause of human
froedoui, and for the perpetuation of hatnaa
rights. Our commercial and public scccssi
ties, aad oar f o&tieai f riaciplea, ail prompted
"us to encoarage emigration, and by its health
ful influence have we prospered as a people.
We have multiplied in our inhabitants. We
have increased in oar wealth ad grown
mighty wit a population that has bee driven
to us for shelter and t wkem we are pledged
before the world to seere the rights f civil
and religioaa liberty; and upon whom we are
likewise pledged -as DeMocrata, do eoafer tha
rights of citizenskip as the iactieoable right
of their manhood. In the making of'the
iaws that govern them they as freemen have a
right to participate. To refuse them that
right would be impolitic, illegal and inhuman.
By adopting them we have secured the jlcf
rieesf mem skilled in all the mysteries of
the mechanic arts, and we have despoiled Eu
rope,; -'and European Jlonarchies of greater
oureefjrof BatJoaal''and personal property,
indivinual happiness and public renown, than
if we had conquered in a hundred fights. Treat
them as aliens, disqualify them by statute, and
we have in our midst a body of oppressed un
Tiappy and dissatisfied men who would feel
their degradation among freemen and sink to
its level.
There inot'-an evil complained of in the
whole catalogue of accusations preferred a
gainst tke naturalized voters of the country,
that wold equal the wrong that would be done
to our principles and our people, by the refusal
llow. tie riSll1 suffrage and the equal
tight of office to all citizens In countries
where the government is a fraud upon the peo
ple, ud the right of suffrage but a name, re
jtra.nU i.poa the right of citizenship and re-
Inv ?aybt in8triet harmony with
their conatrtntions. but in this country dedica
ted to cml and rehgious liberty, laws for those
purpose would be TioleEt inconsistences that
roust shock all right minded men We know
that there are many, very many, honest and
well meaning men who wkndered off from the
!roper path and in tEeir : desire to correct al
eged abuses of the naturalization laws, have
suffered themselves to - give their support to
this new and pernicious political heresy. ,To
those men we would especially appeal, and
MrnesUy entreat them to pause before they
ahaJl aid in furthering projects, the result of
which will startle their understandings and
ppai their hearts. Let them bo aware of a
youticai partT that his been afraid to reveal
principles, and conceals its actions Tt
consKfcr bow unmanly 30d irrational j
must those men be who would thus secretly
unite, and binding each other to-tha spirit of
mutual distrust, by solemn and illegal oaths,
to carry out a great public purpose and to pro
duce a political revolution. In tyram
cal countries, where political intolerance and
persecution proscribes men for liberal opinions,,
such combinations are sometimes necessary
but always dangerous for the cause of freedom.
But it was left for a Democratic country, in a
Democratic and -liberal age, for men thus to
conspire in favor . of political intolerance and
persecuting .bigotry. To -the pure, minded
men who have thus erred and strayed away,
do we submit these considerations for their
action, hoping that they will yet return to
correct views, and sustain the cause of repub
lican liberty by a zealous opposition to the
pernicious principles and intolerant discipline
of this new and dangerous faction. ; " "
'Before we conclude this appeal to your , reason
and your patriotism, we must invite your atten
tion to the subject of domestic slavery. With
that institution Pennsylvanians have nothing to
do. . In the exercise of a wise philanthropy, we
have long since, abolished it. , But because we
have exerted our sovereign power over it, we must
not endeavor to control sister States in the regu
lation of the subject. If we entertain sentiments
adverse to its introduction, we must tiot propagate
those opinions at the cost of the domestic tran
quility of other States, or at the risk of perilling
our common Union. It would not become free
men to be involved in inappeasable discord, for
the sake of a small number of slaves, whose con
dition we cannot change. ,Tbe Constitution was
the result of many adjustments and compromises,
and with it we have secured domestic tranquility,
private prosperity and public liberty,' , Time-will
reveal the end and purpose of this institution of
slavery existing in some of the Stales of this Un
iou i but while we live under the Constitution, we
must abke by its provisions and its solemn ; com
pacts. All attempts to regulate this subject by
congressional action must prove abortive and end
in tumult and disorder,. With us the Constitution
is paramount to the laws, and it- is disoliedieuce
and insubordination of the worst kind, to t triye,
by political agitation, to subvert the one, and en
croach with the other, j r-j . .- g-
Like all other questions of strictly local cob
cern, that of Slavery should be submitted to tie
exclusive jurisdiction of the people of the territory
or place in which it is proposed, to establish or.
reject it. This principle of local self-government
is the basis of all our institutions, and is essential
to political freedom. It may for a time, be abused
and trampled on, as other rights have been, but
men should not, because of that, be deprived of
it. It is for the common interest of all that each
and every citizen should freely and peacefully ex
erche the right ; and the principle . and practice
thus universally ordained and recommended .by
tlie founders of our government, will be firm'y
maintained by tie Democratic party.

.'. The Welsh,
A wy useful and upright clas) of citizens are
the son of St. David among us, and men - of
Welsh blood have played an important part in
our history. Says Dr. Alexander Jones :
Seve nteen of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence were of Welsh origin, among whom
Thomas Jefferson was one. ' Other eminent Amer
icans of ' Welsh descent were John and Samuel
Adams, Jonathan Edwards, Yale, and founder of
Yale college, Gen. Harrison, Richard Henry Lee
and John Marshall. No less than six of our
Presidents have had Welsh blood in their veins.
Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Harrison and the two
Adamses. Fourteen of the revolutionary generals
were of Welsh origin, of whom Gen. Wayne was
one. Martha Washington was the grand-da ugli
ter of a W ehh clergyman.'' , . ;
He adds that there are fifty thousand native
Welshmen in the Uni ted States and not an ofjice
holder among them ! Even " Sam" must admit
that this is a class of foreigners not to be pro
scribed. Pittsburgh Post August 27, 1855. .'.
It is a duty of the public press to 'correct the
.current ma-representations of the times, which, if
left uncontradicted might pas as truthful histori
cal reminiscences. The article we have, given
abov", fjom Dr. Alexander Jones, is of a character
which requires the application of the clams of
truth," before it be permitted to float as a fact
down the tkle of time.. Among many allegations
which abound in the foregoing article, we only re
fer to one or two. ' ' ' ; ' 1 '
First as to the Welsh origin of Thomas Jeffer
son. The history of his life published in 183G,
by Professor Tucker, of the Virginia University,
was issued ten years after Mr. Jefferson's death ;
published after its manuscript pages had been
submitted to the inspection of Mr. Madison, who
bore testimony to its general accuracy, in a letter
writ Una only thirteen days prior to his death.
The Biographer of Mr. Jefferson," states that he
was born on the 2d of April, 1743, at a place cal
l.d ShadweQ, Albemarle county. , His family has
been only traced hack three,: generations, when
they are still found in Virginia, and all efforts to
run down his geneology to a period more remote,
are lost in the misty mazjs of tradition.
True tradition,' refers the birth of Mr.
Jefferson's more remote ancestry to Wales. -. But
" tradition" with more truth and with as much
historical accuracy, might have traced his de
scent from one of the sons of Noah.
Whether any of Mr. Jefferson's ancestors par
ticipated in the settlement at Jamestown, Virgin
ia, in 1607, history is silent. This event occurred
one hundred and fifteen years after the discovery
by Columbus, of San Salvador. - - -
Leaving the queion' .'of-Mr; Jefferson's pedi
gree in that state of .unccrtainty;wherq : his Biog
rapher has permitted it to remain, we pass to'the
consideration of another statement, made by Dr.
Alexander Jonesi which we allege is not sustained
by facts in the History of our Country, past or
present- lie alleges, that " there are ffty thou,
and native Welshmen U the Vnited Slate, and not
an office holder among ihejn! ! -
In answer to this we can assert upon attainable
evidence, existing at least among the archives of
one of the public offices" of a' county of Pennsyl
vania, that at no time within the last forty-seven
years have the public offices' been in want of an
incumbant who it or has not been native Welshmen.
Those whokre curious upon such matters can
satisfy themselves by over hauling the records of
Cambria county, begining at the Naturalization
Docket, in 1808, and terminating their researches
in 1856.." , ;. ,.' . :
