A. naitl We arc iii'M.tetl to Mr. Smith for a pnniphle' copy of the speech made oy him t1 4th inst., in the House of R-preventatives, upon the " State of Political Prfit.n We take it for granted that '; effort of the honorable gentleman was i- H ie r t:ie edification of members of Ui IIoue, but for circulation in Tennessee as a campaign document. Viewed in this lip-ht, we think Mr. Smith has put himself to onneres-ury trouble. He has used but few arguments, or stated but few facts, ?,r!i hare not already been laid before ' '. eoplc ()f Tennessee by the Unwn and Anuruin.. Indeed, did we not know that ur neighbor has not been away from home, we should suspect that he had been to Washinjrioi., mid by one of those feats of dexterity for which he is o remarkable, trriforrned himself into th iniae of the Representative from the third congressional district, and hurangued the House, tickled the while "almost to death," with the fan of the i Minterfeit. Sam has evidently profited by his reading of the Stute organ, .md ii:-pl-yed perhaps some taste in the .-'-! limi of Ins arguments, but whilst his taste is to lf commended, what must be said of his claims to originality? They have heretofore been readily admitted; but hits he not now sadly damaged them? There are some points in this speech which, if Mr. Smith had read the rat rut as closely as he read the Union and American, he would not have made. For instance, he would not have reiterated the charge that Oen. Zoixicoftek had said the Feb ruary platform had "a good deal of ver biage about it." We had nailed that error. Neither would he have denominated the Gazette "the organ of the party in my (his) State, established as such by the State Council." In response to a similar statement by the Union and American, we had on the 22d of February, said that if the party had an accredited organ we were not aware of it, and ou the 25th of Fel- ruary called attention to the following paragraph from the Gazette in reply: We titt rnte the wriiiment of the Patriot, ii l. Aiiit-ii'Hn party ot Tennetwe have an 'I'tfiViHi' r 'accredited' organ, we r imt h m f 1 1 lac' Again: If the honorable gentleman had not confined his reading to the Union and American, he could have escaped the neces sity ofresorting to this discreditable dodge which we find on page 12th of his speech: The Counci' almliilied the platform of June, and tatilielird instead of it another pint form in which lb word tlaiiry ic not meMioi.eil.

I take neither the seventh Paction nor any other eec-lion of the i laifonn. I take th fact thai the C'oui.t-il itaelf did ignore the que-tion lnTir, and did not refer to it in their plaltoim in ant rt a.r, form or manner.

If he had read the articles of the Vanner in rvor of ignoring the slavery question, as a jiartji test, he would haTe learned thai getting rid of the 12th section was not the way propose! to effect that object. That jotini'il took the ground that thr 12A section itself ignored the shivery question. How, j empty and pretentious.

Asuining virtues which they have not, is Mr. Smith, in statin; that the slavery the secret of their success. But beneath question w i ignored because the platform ! l'gt (,f fai",s. ,,lis show of strength 'es not refer in terms to it, is guilty of an a-., .iptto impose upou those not skilled in the use of phrases, who may read his wech. But u moment after he made the nuirmeut, Mr. Marshall put him the fol lowing interrogatory: "I would usk the gentleman if he consid ers tuat it is necessary to use the word slavery in order not to ignore it ?" In reply, Mr. Smith said, "I do not.'' 1. 1 tiiis response, he admits that to take a I ouiid position ou the subject of slavery, j it i not necessary to mention the subject in terms. For illustration: He tniht ray he recognized the right of the jcople, of u territory to form and regulate their domes tic institution, subject only to the precis ions of the Federal Constitution. In this sentence, t lie words slavery, slavery ques tion, or subject of slavery, are not used. Does it, therefore, ignore the question of klavery ? By no means On the contrarv, it asserts the true constitutioiihl din-trine on ihts Kubj'-ci of slavery the doetrhif which Mr. Skith, and our !u-ighlor of the Union and mtric n, regard a the "test of demo- J r-ilic ho.m bn' everywhere." Well, this 1IC! fllif (' tl e':i :i Mr. S:rr jTecistly what the American rt t . tiie platform.

V aJocivU to Mr. SaUIU fcW d.vs ago the propriety of trying again. We repeat the suggestion. If he stops with this effort, he is "done for." Tbe Pattrlot'a Cnaletencr. The Union and American of the 18th., felicitates itself with the idea that it has discovered an inconsistency in the present position of the Patriot, and that which we occupied when American presses, South, called bpou the National American Coun cil to ignore the slavery question as a party test. Our neighbor has spoken without a proper conception of the state of the case. It is most true that we indignantly rebuked the proposition above mentioned, as ill ad vised, and of disastrous tendency; and for the reason that the subject of slavery "is a great, live, earnest, practical question," which cannot be ignored. We were ad dressing ourselves to a proposition to ignore this great question in the creed or disci line of the National American Party, with which we could not act in the event of the success of the proposition, for that would have required us to fellowship with the rankest abolition enemies of the South, and to ask no questions of their intentions. The National Council met. It adopted a new platform, and substituted for the 12th sec tion, which it was contended "ignored" the slavery question, the 8th section in which the principle of non-intervention, identical with that of the Kansas-Nebraska act, is distinctly set forth and made a portion of the party creed. In so doing, the National Council refused to ignore the slavery ques tion. It gave that "all absorbing and over shadowing question" proper recognition. It "cast out" the anti-slavery "devil," and placed the American party on a sound, con servative, constitutional basis. All who unite with 03 upon that basis, North and South, become antagonists of abolitionism, and pledged to sustain the constitutional rights of the South on the slavery question The creed of the American Party, iu this respect, is therefore as we desired it to be on this question, such as an anti ignorer could consistently support. Having gained this, the slavery question is no longer a question between Americans North and Americans South they have met on com mon, national ground opposed to every species of abolitionism. It follows, then, that they should bend their chief efforts to the success of those measures of reform which the country needs, and which the op position to the American Party resist. To do otherwise would be to play into the hands of fanaticism, and now when Aboli tionism is on the wane, give its failing pulse new vigor. Last Wednesday upou this point we said: An attempt to ignore AwricaniHrn, and make slavery itcue the theme of tue Preiidentiul canvass, will hafe. this tendeney; and we hope no American, North or South, will ut!r himself to he diverted from thoKt principles into nueh a controvan-t "No good can come out of it Skiw to the peoplt that yu alh ir lilwk liepuhlienninn that tou stand I PON THE FalNCIFI.K of NON INTERVENTION and then corrce your opjionevtt to defend their love for foreigner and their opponitian to Amrricnnixrn The great contest oiu.-t be upon the new issue growing out ot the American prosperity of reform in our system of naturalization This is not inconsistent with onr position last February. It shows that whilst the American Council has come up to our de mands, we deem it important still for Amer icans, North and South, whilst decliuing to make slavery the theme of the Presidential canvass, first to show to the people that they abhor Black Republicanism that they stand upon the principle of non-intervention, the "test," as the Union and Amer ican declares, "ol Democratic soundness every where," and then to coerce the ene my to defend his foreign predilections, A;e. But to subserve its purpose, the Union and American quotes the above paragraph, and omits all of the sentence in italics and small capitals. We presume this is our neighbor's standard of "fairness" for a Democratic editor. The Strength of the Democracy In the North Its Claim to Nationality. The boast of nationality is the chief ar gument of Democratic papers. They claim an efficient organization in every section of the country. With larger pretensions to strength in the South, they yet assert that the Democracy of the North and Fast are, in sentiment, sound and healthy, and in numbers, formidable. These vaunt iugs have a purpose. Obvious is it is to those observaut of the ways of politicians, the great mass fail to perceive it, and in obedience to that propensity which seeks the stronger side, mauy have received an erroneous impression, und incline to regard Democracy as the sheet auchor of the na tion's hope. These magniloquent brags are aud soundness is as unsubstantial as the breath they use iu blowing it into impor tance. This Administration which is sustained by much the larger portion of the party, ax their representative, though by ?ome dis carded on account of its recklessness, folly, venality und utter incompetency, was plac ed in power by an expression of popular opinion without precedent in trie history of the country. The electoral votes of Imt four States, two Northern and two South- i in, were recorded adversely, while its ma jor.lies on the popul.tr vote iu the several States were immensely large. Since that d.tte the political history of the thirteen Northern States whirh etist their votes for Mr. Pif.hck, is worthy of study. Their elections have been but su vessire defeats t the Democracy. In nearly every one of them they are utterly potrlcs, and in a!! or them they are weakened beyond re covery. What has shorn it of its strength? The explanation is at hand. The Freesoil vote of that section has been ultncted ff01u 'l- Without this the Democracy of t!ie North is emasculated. Outside of the Di LttMm hard shells of New York, the virus of Freesoil is infused through all its tissues. Iu fact, the bulk of the Northern Democracy U merged into the Freesoil or Black Itepublkau party. Itwusthelat-t-r's j.rol.fie source of recruits. We give l'ie uamei of former prominent Democratic leader ho openly consort with it, as an indicaiiou of the cour.-e the taacs hare taken. In the list may be found Thos. H. Bestos, F. P. Blaik, J. M. Nilfs, Gideok Wells, and others. The Democracy of the North at this time i composed solely of the adherents of the Administration, and the only ties that bind them are those of interest. They comprise only a small circle under the influence of port-collectors, post masters, mail agents and federal office holders generally. With this exception, and that of the knotty New York hards, the rank aud file are to be found under the the Freesoil ensign. Northern Democracy is contemptibly 'weak as a party, incom parably the weakest of the three organi zations in that section, taking the elections of the past year as the standard. These are the undeniable facts of the case. No other solution cau be given to the problem of the rapid decay of its strength since 1852. From the hour of its culmination in that year, its star has gradually declined. In less than four years it, has described the whole course from the zenith to the nadir. And yet we are told that the Democracy is national, when throughout half the republic, it is scarcely able to carry a district election. It is as sectional as Freesoilism itself. Its only strength is in the fcouth, while the only strength of the other is iu the North. If one were to hear only their ex pirte version of the case, he would suppose that no Northern voter who did not answer to the name of Democrat, was sound. He would conclude that they enjoyed a monopoly of the conservatism of that section. We see that what they can rightfully claim, is only an inconsiderable portion of that vote, and that it is tinctured with a heresy as revoltine as Freesoilism itself. This latter fact finds a verification in the recorded opinions of those who fill the topmost benches of the synagogue Lewis Cass. Douglas, Richardson, Touciy and others iu their avowal of the squatter sovereignty doctrine If these things be true, whence is the Cincinnati candidate to draw that strength which Democratic papers so confidently pre dict for him ? Every Southern electoral vote would fail to elect him. It is abso lutely necessary for his success, that he re ceive more or less Northern support. From what source there can he derive it, other than the freesoil faction? None other. And from it he will get it. It is the busi ness of the Cincinnati Convention to make arrangements to insure this end. The se lection of a candidate will be a secondary consideration. How best to agglomerate sufficient strength from all sources to secure a triumph and the spoils that is the ques tion It is a puzzling one, but to a greater or less extent they will solve it, and suc ceed. By the shiuneless jugglery to be contrived and set in motion by that Con tion, they will seduce a vast majority of the freesoil vote into the support of the Demo cratic candidate, and leave Black Republi canism, now swelling with confidence, in a miserable minority. To some this feat of political legerdemain may seem impossible, but it will not astonish those who know the resources of the master magician. It has been accomplished before, and though more serious difficulties now interpose, it will to a certain extent be done again. The lead ers of the national Democracy, and their candidate.whether he be Northern or South ern, look no where else for their strength in that section, than from their natural allies their envorkers in agitation the Freesoilers. While maturing this project, the leaders are strenuously laboring to pro duce iu the south an exaggerated estimate of the Black Republican "or Freesoil strength. At the same time they are chiseling deep into the Southern mind the impression that they are the only national organization in the country capable of successfully opposing it. By these means they hope to frighten Southern men into their support as the only recourse to save their rights, and to pre serve the nation. And hence the repeated boastings of nationality, and their persis tent efforts to establish that idea. But we have hope that they will fail that the good sense of the American peo ple will not permit them to be duped again. It is high time that the conserva tive sense of the nation should assert its strength, aud rebuke these reckless trifh rs with the country's peace. We think the omens are propitious that agitation has for once overreached itself. The distracted condition of public affairs has directed at tention to its can es. It is found in the scheming of unscrupulous politicians of the Democratic party and the people are be ginning to appreciate the fact. They are preparing to expel from their confidence those who have abused it. The on If Sound Part), arlli.
