ocr&ta. He would ask, candidly, if the cause of religion had suffered most under Democratic or Know-Nothing policy? He alluded to the times when preachers vrere courted, when they were considered the pets of society. But when they turned Know-Nothings, through the false policy of checking Catholicism, their influence began to wane. The cause of religion had not received an impetus by such a course.

He believed there was some reason yet left among the masses—the public mind had not become completely deranged or KnowNothing.

Mr. Williard contipued: I appeal to the Protestants of America as indicative of the progress of Protestanism to redeem the history of the past two hundred years. Look at Maryland. Here was a State founded and settled by Catholics—were driven from their Native country by the bigotrj and persecution of Protestants, and compelled to seek a home in the new Western World. Did these men say that Protestants should be deprived tho privileges and immunities of the government they had established No. ftey opened their doors to all—'o Protestants ns well as Catholics. They placed no barriers in the way of the free enjoyment of religious opinions by all.— And now what does the history of Protestantism in Maryland show as to the condition of the Catholics? It shows eight hundred Protestant to sixty-five Catholic Churches. Does this look like the Pope was about to "take'" the country? In Louisiana—Catholic Louisiana—the same may be said as to tho Protestants—thereare now two hundred and fifty Protestant and sixty-five Catholic Churches in that State. Is it necessary then, that the Protestant clergy shonldturn into the midnight dens of Know-Nothing-ism to keep out the Pope In Florida— which in the days of Monroe we purchased from Catholic Spain—Protestantism has also far outstripped Catholicism. Florida has now one hundred and seventy Protestant and only five Catholic Churches.— Does this look like a necessity existing for Protestants to join the Iv. N. lodges to put down the aggressive power of the Pope

The course of the Protestant clergy was next descanted upon. Not the clergy who preach the "unsearchable riches of Christ," but the political clergy who have disgraced their high and holy calling by prostituting their high and holy offices to the basest political uses. Does the cause of religion rerequire that its ministers shall join with a secret band of political conspirators to preach treason against the Constitution and the country Is it necessary for the success of Protestant principles that the Protestant Ministry should join with all the fervor of fanaticism, in a crusade against the dearest rights—the most glorious privileges of a large number of American citizens Is it in consonance with the spirit of Religion and the purity of its precepts? No! These Know-Nothing, political, hypocritical, 'vagabonds' are a disgrace alike to the cause of Christianity and the ministerial office, and were doing far more harm than all the efforts of its bitterest opponents could possibly doit. These political preachers were an incubus upon the cause of Christianity crushing out its life-blood and wounding it to the death. They were not the "called of God they wire of the devil, and sought for fitting companions in the dark seclusions of the Lodges ot KnowNothingism. Their preaching was a disgrace to the Church—a libel upon Christianity—a slander upon the truth of God fit onlv for the minions of darkness—in keeping* with the vilest despotism. lie would sooner place a child of his, for education, in a den of infamy, than under such teachers as these Political Preachers. lie would calculate upon the evils of latter tutoring being far worse than all the former. These preachers feared Catholicism—feared the Pojte. And yet they were dailv begging money to send missionaries to preach their dogmas in Catholic

Spain, Italy and France. 'Ihey were as dishonest in their professions of tear ot the Papal Power as they were in all their other professions. They were pursuing a policy of tho bitterest roscripti-.n, bigotry and persecution towards a portion of our people —a policy at war with tho very principles and cssence ol Religion as well as Republicanism. lie trembled lor tlie Churon when lie thus saw a portion of the ministry thus dedicated to persecution—to evil instead of good. Ho revered and held in veneration the true and honest minister of Christ. 1 le hated and detested as all good men do, the venal gang who have stolen tho livery of Heaven to serve the devil in.

These preaching politicians have set a new trap lo catch the foreigners whom they could not seduce into their K. N. Lodges. It was styled the "American Protestant Association." The idea was, under the pretext of religion and benevolence, to get all protestant foreigners into this association, this Younger brother of the Know-Noihing hydra, array them against the Catholic forei^ncrs—thuscreatnig a war of religious, if bloodless, (which was not at all likely,) yet none the less odious and hateful.— The trap was an Abolition" Know-Nothing catch. But Protestant foreigners were too wise to be gulled into it.

Gov. W. dwelt at length upon KnowNothingism—showing it up in all its dangerous and Anti-Republican tendencies— that were it5 principles to succeed our government Would be subverted. Know-Noth-im isni had no arguments to offer but the bowie-knife, the club and the pistol: and

devotion of foreigners to our country both upon the late battle field, and in the civil office. They-were for the true interests of the country—heart and soul. Tlie first great battle for religious Freedom in this country, was fought in 1800, by Thomas Jefferson. The second battle for the same principle would be fought in 1C55, and the Democracy of the Nation must be the champions of this principle. If we would save our churches, our liberty and our country, we must stifle this monster of Know-Nothingism by a combination of all the true patriots of the country, Whig and Democrat. Then shall our land be the land our fathers made it— the land of Civil and Religious Liberty.

Gov. W. concluded his remarks amidst the most deafening applause. Indeed, throughout his whole speech, he was frequently disturbed by the shouts and cheers of the assembled multitude.

Col. Allcn May, being loudly called for, took the stand and made a most excellent speech. He dwelt upon the Anti-Ameri-canism of Know-Nothingism—spoke of the disgrace and calamity the Know-Nothing Political Preachers were bringing upon the Churchcs—deplored tho lethargic condition of the Churches and the few revivals which they now enjoyed, as compared with those they had previous to their clergy forsaking the preaching of God's truths to disseminate the principles of Know-Nothing-ism.

Col? M. urged upon the Democracy the necessity of sustaining their State organ— the Sentinel, saying mnch to the point on this subject. lie concluded his remarks by rallying the Democracy to gird on their whole armor, and fight valiantly the battles of our country, at the ballot box. He was listened to throughout with the greatest attention, and was frequently interrupted by loud and prolonged cheering. His speech was a short one, but it was among the best of the occasion.

The Committee oh Resolutions then reported the following, which were adopted bv acclamation:

WHKKEAS, As we have assembled here to-day as a Mass Meeting of the National Democracy of Indiana, we deem it more appropriate to postpone adopting any resolutions upon State policy until our next State Convention shall be called to nominate candidates for State offices.

Resolved, That we claim with pride the name of National Democrats—that we are "Old Liners," and always expect to follow the old lines so plainly marked by the patriots and sages of the Revolution, in the Declaration of Independence, and in the Constitution of the United Stales. Our name is as unchangeable as our principles, and our principles are as immutable as are the foundations of the Universe.

Resolved, That we announce our continued hostility to all secret political societies and organizations, as being inimical to the genius of our institutions, and revolting to the pride and manly spirit of a free and intelligent people. That we deeply deplore the "frequent scenes of riot, outrage, murder, arson, and desolation which have been occarioned by these worse than Jacobin organizations and that we appeal to every man who values a good reputation and an honorable name among his fellow-men, to lose no time in separating himself from so foul a conspiracy for he that counsels and associates with men who commit these most revolting crimes, is a participator in their guilt, and morally, if

Resolved, That we hereby proclaim our decided hostility to the principles and conduct of that sectional and fanatical party, known as Abolitionists, who have so recently unfurled their banner of Abohtionism and Disunion throughout the Northern States. That wc view their proceedings with increasing apprehension of great injurv to the pence and prosperity of our common country, and as being diametrically opposed to tho provisions and requirements of the Constitution of tiio Lnitod States, which, if violated, as they propose, must bring tne dread Jul result of Disunion, Civil War, the ruin of our beloved country, •ind the destruction of the last pillar wi.nui sustains the temple of Liberty on earth.

Gov. WRIGHT then came forward and delivered one of the best speeches that we ever heard. The Governor is a rapid speaker, and it is impossible for us to do justice to his remarks. We may however present a synopsis, and nothing more, of his eloquent address. The great forte of the Gov. is, that he at once takes firm hold of the hearts of a Democratic audience. His vehement earnestness, his passionate appeals to the noblest sentiments of the human heart, with the forcible and powerful manner in which he enforces his opinions—all take possession and command the attention of popular assembly, and especially of an assemblage of Indianians.

Gov. Wright began by referring to the causes which had brought the vast multitude before him. It was not to hunt for office, for they wauted no offices themselves, and ther^were none to be filled which they could for their friends. But it was becausetne liberties of the country were in danger, and the republic was being rocked to its foundations. He Lad passed through the bitter and exciting campaigns of '-10 and '44, and yet he had never witnessed so much enthusiasm—he had never seen so many of the men whose heads were crowned with the snows of sixty and seventy ivinters. After alluding to the firm resolve evinced by the Democracy of Indiana to stand by the CONSTITUTION, the UNION, and the RIGHTS of the several States, NORTII and SOUTH, the Governor then touched upon the different results produced by a political contest in which Whigs and Democrats were the combatants, one in which the latter and the new organization of proscriptionists were the parties. In the former case there was no hard feeling whatever after the elections, but in the latter the result was, owing to the bitterness brought about by the demagogues who aimed to trample down the rights of freemen by measures unknown to the constitution—why the result was that men hated their friends and neighbors, and even tho father and son were severed in their associations, and would not interchange the common courtesies of life! And, said the Governor, while this infamous and oath-bound faction survives, such will always be its fruits, such the disgraceful monument left behind it.

The Governor then spoke of the question of a religious test, and referred to the peculiar circumstances under which the men of the Revolution had declared in the fundamental law of the land that no human being should be proscribed for his religion or birth. In regard to the former point, in as much as different denominations had settled the several colonies, it would be futile to attempt forming a national union, and at the same time establish a particular religion by law—aud in regard to the latter, as hundreds and thousands of foreigners had fought bravely in the Revolution and for the liberties of their adopted country, and as the obstacles thrown in the way of emigration by King George was one of the chief causes of the revolt of the colonies, of course it would be a violation of their own principles and also suicidal to their interests to pass unjust and exclusive laws upon the subjects of religion or birth place. Well, continued Governor Wright, tho same reasons that governed the fathers, solemnly warn and call upon us to follow their liberal example, and extend religious toleration and liberty to all denominations, and equal rights to the freemen of foreign birth.

After a few more remarks the Governor concluded the best speech we have heard from his lips. ",

On the conclusion of Gov. Wright's address, Mr. R. J. Ryan, of this city, came forward and in a brief speech presented to the Shelby County Delegation, which was the largest sent up to the Convention, the beautiful American Flag, procured by the Democracy of Marion County for the purpose referred to. The flag was accepted by Judge Sleeth on the part of Shelby

Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy here assembled are gratefully tendered to the Honorable Judge Alvin P. Hovcy, and also to those who assisted him in the discharge of his duties as President of the Convention,

THE MEETINGS AT OTHER STANDS. At the second stand speeches were made by Hon. Jas. C. Allen of Illinois, Hon. Jno. G. Davis, and W. F. Hutchens, Editor of the Henderson (Ky.) Reporter. Our reporter not being able to be at all the stands at once, was only able to procure an abstract of the speech of the latter gentleman. He said:

I came here not to participate in the proceedings of your Convention—not expecting to make a speech —nor do I now propose to do so. In response to a call, however, it may not be inappropriate to say that I hail from Kentucky, and that as a Kentuckian to say to you that though from my knowledge of the democracy of Indiana in years past, I had no distrust of your nationality—of your soundness on the great question that now divides and distracts the country—the question that threatens the stability of our glorious Union.

But, sir, I came here to witness, that I might be able to testify to my fellow-citizens of Kentucky, that the Democracy of Indiana occupy high national ground and have neither affinity with nor sympathy for either the Abolition or Know Nothing parties. That I might be fully satisfied on this point, I attended every stand, and listened to the sentiments of every speaker, as well as the spontaneous outburst of applause from the twenty-five thousand persons assembled in counsel.

Although I felt a deep humiliation at the recital of those lawless deeds of a lawless party in our State, vet I have been more

At the third stnnd addresses were made by Hon. John W. Davis, Samuel H. Buskirk, Capt. Slater of Johnson, Lafc Develin and David S. Gooding.

Not being able to get an early position upon the stand, we heard but the closing remarks of the Hon. D. S. Gooding.

He said he had seen the advocates and voters of the temperance law ranting around, drunk, hurrahing for temperance. Thev had denounced him as a whisky Democrat but he was accused falsely. He was as good a temperance man, practically,

He was a friend to every true and honest preacher, bu: some had overstepped their duty. They have come down from the pulpit to preach politics, and it would be spoken to their shame.

Mr. Gooding then complimented Hon. T. A. Hendricks, and der ded him from the abusive attacks of tne Fusionists. He said they were determined not to be pleased with anything Democratic, and had even made Tom Hendricks the object of their abu^e. But the Administration had endors

lustrations, of which we cannot even give our readers an idea. The number in attendance during the day has been variously estimated. Most all agree, however, that there were from 25,000 to 30,000 people present—being undoubtedly the largest political assemblage ever convened in Indiana.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Mr. John Baccus, a resident of this place, was severely injured on last Saturday at Brownsville, by the premature discharge of a cannon which he was assisting in firing. His right arm was so badly torn and lacerated that amputation was found to be necessary. ITis body with the exception of a few burns was uninjured, aud we are happy to state that he is rapidlv recovering and will soon be able to leave his room. The Democracy of Brown with a promptness highly commendable, presented the unfortunate sufferer with the .sum of sixty-five dollars and we understand that steps will be taken to-day by the democracy of the county to alleviate as far as possible the present and future condition of Mr. B. who is an honest, hard working mechanic, who by this painful accident has been rendered a cripple and incapacitated for his accustumcd avocations.

'Olf'ItDEMEI}-' A3IERICA'S.

From the hue and cry of the Journal and kindred papers, and the crocodile tears shed, persons at a distance would be induced to believe that there had been a wholesale slaughter of Americans here, who had been fired upon while peaceably walking the streets or attending to their duties, by desperate, bloody foreigners who had no provocation for such deeds. After reading in the Journal how volley after volley to the extent of several hundred discharges were fired at defenceless Americans, and that the streets were running with their blood, one would be surprised to learn that during the entire riots, both up and down town only four Americans were killed! let such is the fact. Their names were Graham, Rhodes, Hudson, and Watkins.

Watkins was killed on Green street, and was the only American killed in the upper part of the city. Wc can learn no particulars as to his death or who he was. He was wounded Monday and carried to the hospital, where he died Tuesday night.— He was very poor, not even having a change of clothes in which he could be buried.— Rhodes, Graham, and Hudson were killed in the Eighth ward. Graham, who was first killed, fell while pursuing three Irishmen, (who had been attacked by Americans while walking quietly along the streets) and throwing stones at them. Rhodes, the nest one killed, was advised of the intended attack on the Irish a short time before it occurred, he advised some of his friends in that neighborhood to shut up their stores. Hudson, as proved by one of the Journal's own witnesses, was running about in a state of wild excitement, with a revolver in one hand and a bowie-knife in the other and, as we have shown, and are prepared to prove by reliable witnesses, whs murdered bv his own friends, who took him to be an
