The following extract from the speech
of Mr. Crittenden of ^Kentucky, at the
great ratification meeting of the Amer
i can Dominations, held in New York
city, is truthful and eloquent. He vin-
dicated the American party from the
slanders of its enemies in a manly and
convincing exposition of the true posi-
tion of the party. He said:
He bad no antipathies against the
foreigners; the party has none. Let
the oppressed and downtrodden of all
nations come to us. Let them share
the beneficence and justice of our laws.
Let tbem share our educational facili*
ties. Let them share our language and
our customs; but we tell them in all
kindness, both for tbeir sake and our
own, that tbey must leave us to govern
and manage the oountry, or in their
hands, unaccu*tomod as they are to its
delicate machinery, it will be wrongly
directed, and its power will be thrown
against ifcelf, and it will be involved in
one mass of splendid ruins.
The whole philosophy of our prinoi
pies lay in one memorable order given
by th| Farther of his Country duribg
the mrkness of the Revolution; " Place
none¿<A Americans on guard to-night!"
There were brave men of foreign birth
in the army; but they were not the sons
of the soil. The magio attraction ol
patriotism did not bind tbem to the
land. Tho ttfgging at their heart
strings was not for the country in whose
service they were then engaged, but for
•their country beyond the sea They
were not .to the manor born, and could
not say, " This is my own, my native
land!" Then, was it not policy, and
waa it not philosophical, to place men
who were bound by those magic ties in
the moot Responsible situation 1 And if
it were best, then, is it the policy of the
nation still, to place none but native
born patriots at the helm of State, the
most responsible of all situations to us
at this time ? And should our foreign-
born brothers object to this policy when
it is so constantly followed under every
. other government? [Cheers ]
Ana how did oar party arise T That
It was the work of an over-ruling Provi-
dence is evident. It waa not the work
of propagandista. It was from the germ
of patriotism in the hearts of the peo-
ple. On its first manifestation, the peo-
ple gathered silently around it, drawn
by their best feeling* to enlist in the
eaaae. It spread silently and surely,
without noise, without effort, being roll-
ed onward by its own weight, when it
was once started. Like the wind, it is
said no one knows of our party, whence
it cometh ; and some even at this day
are so m«ntally blind as to say they
know not whither itgoetb ! [Laughter]
But, to his mind, it was evident that ^it
goeth towards the Which House, as its
borne, and towards the Capitol as its
place of industry 1 [Great Applause.]
We have thrown down the gauntlet, let
them take it up who will—we are ready
for the fight Our ranks are full, but
we hove room still for those a ho prefer
to struggle with as to fighting against
us, for it haa come to that point. And
let those who see the truth of our prin
ciples at this the eleventh hour, eome to
our banners and reorive the welcoming
hand from those of us who have borne
the heat and burden of the day.
To our naturalized brethren we say, we
do not love the foreigners less than
when we firs| extended an invitation to
them to find a home from oppression up-
on our shores; we do not love them less,
but we love our country more. And
we find if we do not protect the ark of
our liberties from the proffered support
of oficieoa bands we shall all be involv-
ed in one oommon destruotion.
When the emigration of our country
did not exeeed 10,000 per year, we did
not feel the effeets of it. Those who
thus came among us were absorbed in
our custojns, and forgot their native
country in a measure, and strove to be-
come Americans. Now the small stream
has become an overwhelming torrent,
and threatens to submerge the whole
land. Instead of mixing with us and
beeoming a part of ns, whole counties
are found in which the English language
cannot be understood.
The foreigners retain their clannish
spirit; their customs, traditions, habits,
yea, and language; they form a foreign
colony in our midst ss distinct in faot
from ns aa they are in habit, though
they are under oar government. It is
this we deprecate. It is this we woald
prevent.
He did not regard the foreign born
citisen with feelings of distrust or hat
tred, nor ftd the party. He could cor
dially welcome tbem, but he oould not
accord to them the power to rule and
rain the eommon country. No man
felt more charity for the misfortunes of
oppressed lands than he.
In this very hall, not many years ago,
he bad spoken at a meeting, in which
the citisens of Washington were raising
money to send to famine stricken Ire-
land. and be had introduced a bill in the
Senate, whieh was passed, appropriating
$500,000 from the National Treasury
for the benefit of the starving Irish.
The business of the Amerioan party
waa to preserve the Constitution and
the Union intact; to preserve them
from every hand that should be raised
against them, and they had everything
to hope from the patriotism of their
eourse.
He closed by saying " we strive for
tm aativesaovereignty Mid our native
horn supremacy in the land whioh a
benefieient God has given us. Who is
he that can resist the American people,
when in a ju t cause tbey stand before
God and man to defend their rights ?"—
If the party will but aet worthy of their
noble caaae, they will triumph through
itspurit;
an
*^purity and patriotism. [Cheers long
Mrs. Partington heard her son say
| thst there were a great many anecdotes
¡ in the new almanac, begged him to out
j them all out and preserve them, as she
rd that when anybody was poisoned
king waa necessary bat to give hint
[on anecdote and it woald. earehim.
the axexxgav FLAirOUL
Philadelphia, Feb, 21.—The Nation-
al American Council passed this even-
ing the platform of principles published
on the 15th inst., in the Washington
Organ, as a substitute for the whole
platform established by the June Con-
vention. The vote stood yeas 108, nays
77. Various members from Ohio made
speeches on the subject, some declaring
that the platform was a death blow to
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex*
pressed themselves content, and defend*
ed Mr. Ford, of Ohio, from the charge
of Black Republicanism «nade by Mr.
Bennett, of New York.
The platform alluded to is as follows :
I. An humble acknowledgement to
the Supreme Being who rules the uni-
verse for His protecting care, vouch-
safed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
manifested to us, their descendants, in
the preservation of the liberties, the in-
dependence, and the union of these
Ptates.
2 The perpetuation of the Federal
Union as the palladium of our civil and
religious liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans must rule America; and
to this end native born citizens should
be selected for all State, federal and mu-
nicipal offices or government employ-
ment, in preference to naturalized citi-
zens, nevertheless,
4. Persons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
entitled to all the rights of native born
citizens; but
5. No person should be selected for
political station, (whether of native or
foreign birth,) who -recognizes any alle-
giance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
er, or who refuses to recognise the Fede-
ral and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as* paramount to all other
laws, as rules of political action.
9. The unqualified recognition and
maintainance of the reserved rights of
the several States, and the cultivation
of harmony and fraternal good will be-
tween the citizens of the several States,
and to this end, non-interference by
Congress with questions appertaining
solely to the individual States, and non-
intervention by each 8tate with the af-
fairs of any q^er State
7. The recognition of the right of the
native-born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing
in any Territory thereof, to frame their
constitutions' aud Jaws, and to regulate
their domestio.and sooial affairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visions of the Federal Constitution, with
the right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite popu-
lation for one Representative in Con-
gress, Provided always, that none but
those who are citizens of the United
States, uoder the constitutions and laws
thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any such Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enactment of laws for said Ter-
ritory or. State.
8. An enforcement of the principle
that no 8tate or Territory cab admit
others than native born citizens to the
right of suffrage, or of holding political
office, unless such persons shall have
been naturalized according to the laws
of the United States.
9. A change in the laws of naturaliza-
on, making a continued residence of
twenty one years, of all not heretofore
provided for, an indispensable requisite
for oitizeifsbip hereafter, and excluding
all paupers, and persons convicted of
crime, from landing upon our shores ;
but no interference with the vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with
religions faith or worship, and no test
oaths for office, except those indicated
in the 5th section of this platform.
II. Free and thorough investigation
into any aud alleged abuses of publio
functionaries, and a strict economy in
public expenditures.
12. The maintenance and enforcement
of all laws until said laws shall be re-
pealed, orsball be declared null anduvo id
by competent judicial authority.
12. Opposition to the reckless and
unwise policy of the present administra-
tion in the general management of our
national affairs, and more especially as
shown in removing " Americans," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin
ciple, from office, and placing foreigners
and ultraists in tbeir places; as shown
in a truckling subserviency to the strong-
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown
in re-opening sectional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as
shown in granting to unnaturalized for
eigners the right to suffrage in Kansas
and Nebraska; as shown in its vacilla-
ting course on the Kansas and Nebraska
Iuestion ; as shown in the removal of
udge Bronson from the Collectorship
of New York upon false and untenable
grounds; as shown in the corruptions
whieh pervade some of the departments
of the government; as shown in disgrac-
ing meritorious naval officers through
prejudice or capriee; and as shown in
the blundering mismanagement of our
foreign relations.
14 Therefore, to remedy existing
evils, and prevent the disastrous conse-
quences otherw'se resulting therefrom,
we wonld build up the •' American par-
ty" upon the principles herein before
stated, eschewing all sectional questions,
and untiring those purely national, and
admitting into said party all American
«itiaeus, (referred to in the third, fourth
and fifth sections,) who openly avow the
principles and opinions heretofore ex
pressed, and who will subscribe their
names to this platform. Provided,
nevertheless, that a majority of those
members present at any meeting of a
local counoil where an applicant applies
for membership in the American party
may, for any reason by them deemed
suffioient, deny admission to such ap-
plicant.
15. A free and open discussion of all
political principles embraced in oar plat-
ferm.
Respectfully submitted.
