D} It is generally conceded by every one who under- nds history, that there is never a great popalar ovement witrout some deep reason for it. The d of multitudes of men cannot be stirred on a scale by @ mere fancy. The idea which they im as the party watchword may be foolish, or pigeted or narrow—it may not be the one which ally moves them. Stili there 1s at the basis som: great impelling cause which is worth careful consi- tion. More thanthis—these movements do not ice the effects which were intended b:; ¢ men who snp they were the authors ant raders of them. sei Dig at one thing, and may pose they are all while working towords it; 1% one who looks calmly at them from a distance in see—whut the event generally proves—that they guided toa very different result.

But men recognise now that, in ali tuat wickedacss id confusion, there was the noble, even if fierce, otect of man outraged in his rights. For its ef- jitations and upon her insti ideas, humanity will ver cease to be jeful. On a less imposing scale, we believe these princi- ples will be found eq’ true of this new p2pular ovement, which 1s vil over the country. jThose who ancer at it as the fruit of a sudden con- racy ot disappointed office seekers, or as an in- ious device of petty Fy ead on a large scale, eecure places, see by the issue thet they do ‘understand the do not remember this movemen’ done wishin the s, of few months, in the mot intell minded population of the Union. ‘wishout wre eggrs ai no prestige or ‘bas completely everthrown and sw Tistoric parties of the country, eed their ao;ion, depr! them to a greater or less extent of influence and of office, and now sways pubiic senti- ‘ment even where it has not yet a political » In this State it has polled over a hundred sand votes— mavy of them from our most staunch and intelligent werkiog men.

Ner is it to be supposed that sach a movement vests upcn no broader basis than hatred of men be- oaure were born oaa different soil, and still Jews because they hold a religious faith different from our own. The day has passed, we trast for ever, for religious warfares. On this free soi!, won wita the blood of men of all creeds ; under a re- be ic which boasts that it sheiters unmolested every opinion, the y could not live, could never arice, which should bav: as its gzeat object the per- @ecution of a particuiar religion or sect. It is not wp unreasoring religious bigotry which has prin- @ipally aroused this great hidden popular move- sapere Pesdlon baaen Taepeiantpalstaagtane rejudice has been 5 Our heutes are yet full of the memortals of those men who left but two centuries ago their country to Doild a free government on a forsign shore. Phe broken and squalid races yet linger among who alone can call themselves with propriety “native Americans.” Our own fathers were foreigners. The biood of strangera—of the chivalric French and the heroic P was So out in our cause. It was the boast and the ion of those men that they were building up & State, not for Anglo-Saxone, but for humanity. Ts was hoped that hither, as to a refuge, ‘the weary aod broken in the fierce strife for liberty im the Old World might happily flee. Since then, foreigners have incessantly pourea in. Their labor jhas aided in our pupic works; they have periormed the lower tasks, giving an opportunity for the more ‘dmventive genius and the bolder spirit of the leading Face to secure the grand and more valuable labors ef the country. Their toll and their lives have been also contributed in erecting this moble structure of our prospenty. There would be a glaring inconsistency betweeu @ur principles and our pra:tic:s, if we were now to abandon the broad liberty for all which has been eur bosst, and hedge ourselves and our institutions areusd with the high walis cf exclusion, which are ‘at once the curse and tie opprobriu n of the monar cbies ot Enrope. Many a noble, intelligent, high- hearted martyr—beaten down, defeated in the same struggle in the O.d World which has conquered here—comes wearily and sadly to our shore:. He kpows our government. He understands linerty. He has sold hie youth and his manhood for it—io wain. He has believed in the inalienable right of all men to govern themselves. He bas looked hope- fally, when defeated there, to a share in our liberty be He has read in our history that ed for freedom for all; and’ that America to be the home of the essed. And we Isve taken pride—we have glonied in the facts that such men hold such views and cherish such tious of us. We claim a share in their ex- ultations. And it would certainly be the height of imcovsintency to meet them whea they arrive with ‘the repelling claim that ‘America is for the Ame- ricans’”—tbat they are fot of us—that they may labor bere, but shall have no share in our birth: right. Snoh a course would be un-American—hos- ‘tie to ail our history and to the whole spirit of our institutions. We have no fear that any great and predominant panty will ever insist on its adoption. ‘Lhe present movement is aue to a deeper, juster, profoundcer sentiment than that which would coun- wel ruch excinsiveness. Bigotry and hostility to fo- reigners, as such, have had mush to do with it; they may have m'ngled with its tide and given strength to rd il and its sweep. But they are not its main elements. It owes its origin, and will owe its suc- ese, to cther influences. We believe the present movement is due mainly to the conviction that the liberty we grant to aiiens of becoming Amsrican citizens bes been grossly abused; that under cover ef this privileze the pauperism, the ignorance, the orime of the ol? countries have been emptied out uper our shcres with hostile recklessness of our imterests and our rights; that the Roman Catholic veie has been held in a compact, disciplined mvs, under the immediate and supreme control of a hier- seby whose interests and sympathies lead them to tom of the movement, and will place to them, The movement will do good—not unmixed with evil, it may Pere servic the country. It that are henceforth to cease bnbing and coarting the igvorant foreigners in our midst, and will awaken s command which shall reach the ears everywhere of priestly bigots, no more to intrade their reli interference into the litical affairs of America. It is a warning thun- ered in the eara ef a corrupt aiministra‘ion, that they never again represent a republican govern. ment by foreign aristocraws; and it is a people’s av- ewer to the insulting message of a religions priuce, when he serds a man stained with the blood of the mart: fn of liberty as his chosen emissary to this republic, i we had any right to offer counsel to the leaders and the guides of this zew and potent organization, or avy hope that it would be d, we should caution them against the danger of beimg pushed into ex- tremes fatal to tneir cause, because hostile to the egal ood. They have at heart, we do not doubt, wel of our repnblic—the stability o/ our Union—tne perpetuity and the enlargement of oar freedom. Let them be careful, then, how they light the fires of sectarian hatred, or the jeatousies of nationality, ina country like ours, Whatever proaperity we may have in the future will depend on the fusion and union ef our population. To se- parate races; to inflame creed against creed; to ex- | asperate that passion, which, when once inflamed, isthe most terrible of human paavions—religious bigotry—is to a nation made up like ours, of so many Forel elements, tte most fearful and dan- gerous of all ti . There is no doubt of the if Celt and Saxon, Romanist sand Pro- testant, do struggle on our soil. The Irish —the foreign Catholic—will become tie de- graced, the depressed, the menial race. The SexXon must gaimthe victory, Bat what a victory will it be! Look st the Ceitic race of Britain—toe Trish Catholic pewantry. Who wourd have such a class perpetuated bere? Look at Hungary. Wo would heve a slavish, cunning, crushed race, like the Sclavo- nian, upon this free soil? No State can stand long, built on such foundations. Oaca form by political or religious persecution, am oppressed, degraied race bere, abd our security 1s at an end. The Union, to last, must be a fusion of the peoples who live under the shelter of its laws snd the shadow of ita flag. To permanently disfranchise any race of men among us is utterly af war with democratic princi- ples. Tie only basis of our general suffrage has always beem the principle that giving a privilece fits men for using it. That time sboald be reqa'red betore the foreigner is aliowed to vote, seems 9 common. sense principle; but against anything like disfranchisement or proscription from office, every true republican must earnestly appeal. Indeed, in this day of the world, we are swe no party would dare uphold such a principle long on American soil. The tide of the age—the dictate of reason—sets against them. Let us adop' such precautions a3 may seem neces- sary against the temporary evils which tne over- whelming influx of foreigu ignorance and supecati- tion and crime may threaten. Let our nsturaliza tion laws be amended if they need it—let secret or- ganizations, controiled by # central head, for pur- poses otber than the public good, be met and offset by other societies using the same instruments, 1 such a course shall seem bes’ adapted to the emer- gency—but let us bear in mind that our free schoo's, our free press, our open churches, our atmosphere of civil and religious Hiberty, and the natural pro gress of human society, give us the best of oll as suranees for the preservatioc of our institatious alike ircm religious bigotry and from the ignoraave ard crime which are poured out so lavishly upon our shores. Let us protect them from invasion, and we need have no fears for the final result. THE bp dcbbabate Sh Ade) DEMOCRATIC. . {From the Richmond (Va.) Hnquirer (Cabinet Spoils n)}. The Stanton Convention, after an exciting strug- ge of three ays, brought their deliberations to a pyy and harmonions conclusion on Saturdiy night. They bate nominated, as has been seen by the proceed! , Henry A. Wi , Of Ac omac, for Governor; Elisha W. M Comas, of Kanawha, for Lieutenant Governor, and Willis P. Boooek, o! Ap- pomattox, Attorney Gexeral. We hail this reenl: as cheering to the democratic cause. One of our cz dina) principles is submission to the will of the ma- jority. We struggle mantully, independently, ar- cently, with a determination each to carry the point deemed best for the interest of the party and the State; but when overruled, we know how to submit gracefully ena unite eaten hed out tue wishes ot the majority. Such will de the result. Sach hereafter will be the zealous 9v- operation of all, that our pominees will go into the contest animated with the inspiring belief that they will be, as here- tofere, trintophantly sustained. ‘We know that, whoever might have been the choice of the convention, our opponents would nevertbrlees have evinced Lens, rena disapproba- tion.
