There were not enough of whiga m the State to offer any reasonable prospect of eee Ne ticket. We are left, therefore, Yo choose between the American and democratic parties—old party lives are to a great extent oblite- . The American ticket is made up of men of beth the ancient parties. The democratic ticket excludes atl but democrats. On the 4th of last monib the Americans met at the Capitol of the State and formed a platform, upon which they have or- gavized their new party. It is liberal and fair. It proclaims the principle of religious toleration in the words of the constitution itself. There ined, bat ‘0 proscription to be found im it. It leaves all men te worship God according to the dictates of their wn coveciences, proclaims no religious test for @ffice, and asserts liberty of conscience, freedom of Thought and freedom of speech, as constituting the basis of the new organization.

On this priuciple i: was that Mr. Calooun and myself, a3 I have heretofore publicly explained in my place in the Senate, yotad for the Compremie of 1848, while strongly protesting Sgaiust this whole alien clause, which we aiill Boped in come way to exclude from the bill before ® should become 4 law. As chairman of the Com. on the Jndisiary ia the Senate f reported the first Jaw which estatlished a Territeria! govern- ment over Wisconsin, compose’ of ali ‘ies of the pre-ent Stetes of fowa and Wisconsi fa that I carefuily provected the richis of American citizen: ship, and excluded the suff-ages of foreigours with- Out vatoralization.

I cannot now, without ‘an utter sacritice of principle, deviate from tae doz- trine that none bus Am n citizens shouli enjoy ‘the right of suffrage. I canootand will not, at my period of life, hoping and wishing nothing from soy Pol tice] party, and fesring none, depart from a principle which has governed me ever since I en- ‘tered public life. nwe were defeated on this ‘question, in 1836, I took my*hat and lefé the Senate im disgust, and every whig in that chamber fol- Jowed me, all of us considering that the constitu tion lsd been trampled under foot by the party op- posed to us. T concur alsoin the sentiment expressed by Gen. Waabington, that “It is contrary to the polley of tis government to appoint foreigners to office to the exclusion of native born citizens.” I do not mean by this. that a fore'gner snould pever bo ap- to cffice. I mean that other circumstances equal, the American ought.to be preferred, and that was the opjaion of Washington. But there are many foreigners in thia country for whom I would not hesitate t> vote; and to illustrate my meaning, I now take leave to sav that as the Seaa- ‘torial term of James Shields, of Miinois, is about to expire, if I bad a hundred votes to cast in the elec thon of the Senator of that State, I would throw ‘them +1) for James Shields, soch is my opinion of ‘that men.

I shall not sgsim diecuss the merits of the Nebraska bill. My sentiments uvor it are well ksown to ail. It reduced the very bitrer fruits which I anti- cipsted when it wae introdneed, and haa caused all the violent excitement in the bosom ef the North which I publicly predicted im my place in she Senate. I said there it would prove injndicions, and emizently tend to alienation between the North d South. Yet [ had mo Northern prejadices ‘inst the repeal of the Missouri compromize line —a line established by the act ef 1820, Lalways thought the creation of a phical Givision between our conntrymen fully justified the strong expression of Mr. Jefferson, that it sounded in hia ear like a fire bell in the night. 1 may be permitted now so far to wander from my subject as to say that although many valued friends | differ with me about the sanctity of the act of | 1820, 1 never learned from the whigs of ancieot that this law wasa part of their party creed. It is well known that as chairman of tne Judiciary Committee of the Senate, | reported a bill which became a Jaw, for aunexing territory north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 win. tothe State of Missonri, | three times as large as the Siate of Delaware. Ever | whig im the Senate, including Henry Clay an | Daniel Webster, then approved and voted tor that bill. Not awhig im the other honse oppossd | it, that lever beard. J bad a conversstion with Mr. Webster on thesubject at the time, who adopted my views cf the propriety cf annexing this terr:- tryto Missouri, although it subjected it to the retuzwed Rime in the wvening with ‘packets te let.” So certain, indeed, was cue gentleman of he: winning Dat he said “ be merely went out to the track to collect, hie winnings, se the race would be s0 one. sided that it would mot be worth looking at.” This individual was abeut ss much disappointed a: tho result as were some of the aspirants to office, after the publication ef the election returns on Wedcesdey morning. : The track was in capital order for the race; but, ‘as we said before, the wind blew a hurricane daring the afternoon, which much impeded the progre:e of the herces, end made the time at least five seconds more than it wotld have been on a sucey summer afternoon. First Heat—Wm. Tell won the {pole, asd went around the upper tuga with the mare laying on his wheel, and they kept im this way to the quarter pole, in forty seconds. After learing there, the mare began creepfag up closer to Tell, and abou’ half way down the back stretsh she reached bis girth, but then made a skip and fell back to the wheel again. This was occasioned, ss Hizam said, by Whelpley fiontishing his whip in her face. She, however, was side and side with Teil at the balf mile pele, in 1:17; but again she threw her head up, na fell off a length. Tis was again in consequence of Mr. Whelpley’s peculiar flourish ofthe whip. They came on the homestretch in this way—Tell close inte the F ares and Boston Gir! on the extreme ontside—evidentiy to keep sway from Whelp- ley’s fearfa! flourish : and after a desperate struggle ail the way up, Teil was landed at the score sboat a | Jongth abead ‘of the mare, in 2:42.

It gave Missouri her proper bonndary on the river, and effectually pro- tected the Indians residing there from the depreda- tion of lawless and unprincipled men.

Let it rest. Repose for the passions of men '8 required to save us irom ourselves.

In every State and in every section of this Union there is now an American party, Atpresent, a foreigner not natu- ralized and in trouble abroad, ex: more sympa- thy among the politicians of the dom‘nant party than any Dative American could persibly do.

URNTREVILLE COURSE, Le On Wednesday last, one of the mst exciting trot- ting matches of the season took piace at the Ceatre- ville Course, between c>. B. William Yell, to si®leton wagon, and b. m. Boston Girl, to wagon and driver weighing 400 Ibs., mile heats, best three ia dye, for $1,000. It was the closest contest ever witnessed on this favorite course. The time made was 2:42—* 2:43—2:43—and, considering the biustering state of the weather, the wind blowing a gale from the northWwest all the time, bringing the horses as they came up the home stretch ia tie face of the wind almost toa stand, was nooarailslod wrdor the cir: cumstances. The tims made by Boston Girl to the half mile pole, in each heat—1:17-—has vever been beaten by any other horse carrying the same weight, and it is very donbt/ul whether there is one at pre- eent on the turf that cao beat it, She isa most ex traordinary creature, and in the hands of Hiram Woodroff, her driver on +i's oceasion, can trot weight as fast as ary horse in "he land. races, in ten of which he has been victorious, has ; never beon consideie! in so favorable a light as he deserves. He is undoubtedly one of the very best trotting stallions ia the country; and, if continued on the conrs¢, will show that he has few or no sape- riors a# a trotier; in fact, so highly is he held in the estimation of his owner, Mr. Whelpley, that be will trot him against any stallion in the country, with one exception, Bthan Allen. After beating Boston Girl, the other day, his owner matched him against Flora Temple to the same woilght and distance, the rac> to come off within s few days.

The tendency of prices at the first board was dowa- ward, and the operations Jarge, as usual, Thereappears to be sellers on,time, either option,. but the principal sales were for cash.

The bears must havea great deal of nerve and very little diseretion to put out time coutracis at enrrent prices. Itis the height of temerity to sell in the face of such afall, The panic just experienced is the most senseless, absurd thing of the kind we have known for a long time,and one of these days all parties concerned will agree with us in this opinion. When prices are nornfously inflated, after along period of speculation, it is natural enough to expect a sudden collapse, and we re not often disappointed; but with a market such as we have had for many weeks, and with prices depresse] Ly a very foolish stampede on the part of certain holders, | to put out many it will be found dangerous busi time coritiacts curing the present s stieet.

Amid all the difficulties we are happy to find in Indi- ana a few bankers who esteem honesty as worthy of some sacrifice—their language to the public is:—“Our bills have gone out dollar for dollar, and holders shall have dollar for dollar for them.” These are the namos of the honest bankers and their banke;— W.

The ciranlar of N. J, 0, Davis, of Cincinnati, gives following review ot the money market of that city for] the week ending Wednesday evening, Nov. 8, 1854:— The past week has been one of varied and intense in.| terest in monetary cireles. The failure of some banks| to redeem in coin all the presentations of their issues has| given rixe to many vague and uncertain ramors—confi-| dence is undermined, and there is nothing but confusion in the general appearance of our currency, From the} varied rumovs we select some that have the most appear- ance of reliability. sip Some of the banks of Ohio and Kentucky had a short| time ago enlarged their circulation. This; in some cir- cles, created distrust, and a consequent ran on tl institutions. The Bank of Circleville has been compelled| into a temporary suspension, although the cashier, H. K. Lawrence, Esq., states that there are ample means ta| redeem every dell: ‘The notes of the hi Columbus, are thi ties connected ‘The notes of the Commercial Bank, Kontucky, are] doubted by some and those of the Miami Valley Bank, of Dayton’ are thrown out. Much of this is undoubtedly| the effect of panic, but its influence is all the same om the business eqmmunity. This morning, in consequence of the scrions ilinoss of| Mr. Ellis, of the firm of Ellis & Sturges, it was deemed] advisable to close their banking house. A previous re-| port of the death of Mr. Ellis had created a panic the depositors, great numbers of whom have the strect during the whole day. Following the close of this house, the Citizens’ Bank, owing to its intimate con- nection with this firm, closed temporarily, Sbsequent to this, a run was commenced on T. §, Goodman & Co. and under the intense excitement of the day, they deem: ed it penshes to suspend penis till public opinion had time to become settled, There can be » it Little doubt but that the assets of each of the above houses will be asiply auticlent to secure depositors. 8. W. Torrey & Co. are withdrawing and have left with another house the mc depositors, finding banking at this presen Tess and perplexing. . ‘The discount business of our banking tnstitutiongs, owing to the unsettled state of everything with money or confidence, is reduced to almost honce, we quote very few rt transactions, Out rates range from 1 to 3 per cent, with no, disposition on the part of lenders to touch’ anything but first class paper, nce: our last issue, the November payments have be- come due, and it is a gratifying proof of the generat preparation made by our mercliants, that with fow dis- counts there have been few failures, and these confined to small dealers, thecated, 47; do.
