Uinly, in these late Senatorial developments,
particularly in the cftBe ol Seward, this new
American pavty h?9 received it-- lessons and
aid warnings. But the party, young, fresh and
vigorous. .should turn its late experiences to
practical account, take courage, and proceed to
adapt Its general discipline, platform and poll'
cy more closely to the sympathies of the popu
lar mind, and the exigencies of the day.
The field of practical reforms opened to this *
new American party, by the spoils corruptioor,
of an imbecile administration, and the rum ar?d
rowdyism which have so long disgraced ouc po
litical elections under tho demoralizing hr.ibo9
and bargains of the old effete and
democratic parti*?, in a iield too inviting
to be abandot-ed, Bhort, at least, ol' one
Presidential campaign. Upon these great
elementary issues of a revolution in the
management <of our elections, acd a thorough
going reconstruction of political pirtfes. the
honest masses of the people, In all the State
and local ejections, North and South, of the
last twelve months, have manifested their sym
pathies to be with this new American move
ment. In a general view, the majority ol the
people, in all quarters of the Union, are thuB
evidetftly willing to co-operate with this move
ment, in anticipation of the great and salutary
political and party changes which it promises.
This new American organization is, however,
detective in some essentials. Its discipline is
too rigid for the moral atmosphere of this conn
try. The violent oaths and penalties attached
to a membership of the order are calculated
?rather to excite defection and rebellion than
brotherly love and harmony. Between men of
honor and truth, in the relations of social lite,
a simple declaration of good faith is enough.
In the secret caucuses ot the political parties,
which have existed since the revolution of 1776)
no other te?t has been deemed necessary. The
deserter from Tammany Hall, for example, has
never been pursued with the penalties of burn
ing in efligy. and a combined party persecution
against him in his private business affairs.
Neither the sacrifice of hi* soul tu the devil, nor
the loss of the means which support his family,
have followed, as the lived law of bis treachery
to the Sachems.
In this respect, the oatbs, pains and penalties
of tb" Know Nothings imperiously demand the
pruning knife. In this CLligbtened age, anl
among this free and enlightened people, neither
the ter ioisof hard sweariug, nor the spells of
superstition, nor Ihe espionage tf the Iuqulsl
tion. cm be made to work successfully. From
the Grand National Council to the lowest subor
dinate lodges of the Know Nothings, therefore*
the tirat thing suggested by the late defections
at Albany, and the symptoms of disruption in
Massachusetts, in a radical moditlcation ot the
secret discipline of the order.
It is generally understood that the Know
Nothings have taken the Held as the inveterate
enemies of the Catholic Church and religion.
And here, they may be transcending the limits
of constitutional justice and sound policy.
Under the supreme law of the land, every man
in this country is protected in his religious
faith. The rights of the Catholic and the Pro
testant are the same, and cannot be disturbed.
As far, then, as the plattorm of the Know
Nothings invohes a political proscription of
the Catholic because be is a Catholic, it con
flict? with the suprence law. Hostility to the
political or worldly encroachments ot the
Catholic hierarchy, in the management of our
election*, or in the monopoly of their church
property, is another thing. When a Catholic
prelate enters the political arena with his Hock
at his back, he and they are responsible for the
consequences.
The experiments ot Archbishop Hughes,
under the malign influences of Win. H.
Seward, to wield the Catholics as & sepa
rate element in our elections, were the im
mediate provocations to this very natural auti
Calboiic.rcuction. If this reaction has been ex
treme. it is due to experiments from tb'; same
prelate, under the bad counsels of the same
demagogue, to monopolize, in the hands of tlic
Catholic hierarchy, the real estate of the
church. Our universal American church poli
cy is, that the property of the churches shall
he held by trustees, on behalf of the con^rega
tions. clergy and laity included. The opposite
policy of concentrating the church property in
tb>> hands of the Bishop of each diocese respec
tively, is aptly illustrated in the present des
potic power Of the Catholic hierarchy
in Mexico, and its lamentable results.
All revolutions there will be vain, short
of u revolution in this matter, and the con
cession ot that religious liberty which is the
corner stone of our republican system.
It is important, however, that our
new American party should keep within
Ihe limits of the constitution, and that Decla
ration of Independence which I!rotestants and
Catholics, in council and in battle, united to
make good. Opposition at the ballot box to
all < fforts of the Catholic hierarchy to interfere
ii our political elections, ami agatn.U all efforts
to monopolize the property of the Catholic coo
grogattwis in this country, is legitimate and j
iusiiliahle. The Catholic laity will assist in
this resistance. But where this political hos
tility extends to the indiscriminate proscrip
tion oi Catholics, as such, it Ijecomes treachery
to the federal constitution.
It is aho widely believd that it is the pur- j
pose of this new American party to repeal the |
naturalization laws, and fix atwenty-oBc years
residence upon the alien as the initiative to
Citizenship. On this point we have little ap
prehension: for although the authority to Con
gress Is explicit, the States have severally as
snmed the right to control this subject at their
discretion, and Congr-ee cannot prevent it.
The great mistake of our adopted citizens has
been 'he banding themselves together in politi
cal. military and social cliques, its Irishman.
Germans, Ac. The Know Nothing movement
is directed against these associations: hut. when
Irish and German eitfeens shall thoroughly
blend themselves with the masses of the A*?
rican people, this war of races will necessarily
cease.

The Mission to Spain.
The resignation of M. Soule, the appointment
ami inclination of John C. Breckenridge, and
the tfnitl appointment of Augustus Crcsar Dodge
to the mission ot Spain have followed each
other with such rapidity as to leave little time
for comment. We- notice, however, iu the print
which represents the free soil wing of the de
mocracy in this city, a tardy protest against
the action of the Executive, and a vehement on
slaught upon -Mr. Pierce on the ground that
the appointment of Mr. Dodge involved a breach
of faith to a former friend of the President's.
What folly is this ? DoeB any one blame the
rattlesnake for biting, or the dog for barking?
Where have the free Boilers been these many a
day to know the President's character so bidly
as to expect him to fiilfll a promise or to keep
his word ? Have they ? tor none have had
better opportunities than themselves ? hire
they been cheated, and kicked about for the
past two years to so little purpose as this ?
More political sagacity, if sot more philosophi
cal resignation, was certainly to be expected of
them. As to the fitness of Mr. Augustus Cresar
Dodge, why, there don't seem to be much fear
of his not answering. There is little or nothing
to be done at Madrid, but to go to balls and
dinners ; the Senator from Iowa can be trust
ed to go through this branch of the diplomatic
business. He is said to be ignorant of French
and Spanish ; but really this may prove an ad
vantage instead of a drawback. Impertinent
grandees, for instance, may sneer at the ladies
of his family, to their heart's content, Augusras
Cirear will continue to smile in placid uncon
sciousness, and no sanguinary duels or national
quarrels need be apprehended. The newspapers
may abuse him; he will write no foolish letters
to make himself ridiculous. Wrapped in the
mantle of his ignorance, and incessantly oscu
pi?d? as he necessarily will be ? In the vital
bufeinessof learning tne etiquette of the Spanish
Court, the chances are that Mr. Dodge will eke
out b^B term in respectable obscurity, and will
be considered a very remarkable personage
when he returns to the 4>ackwoods of Iowa. It
was tbe least the President could do to appoiat
bim, an the Senator had generously sacrified
himself to help the administration; and a1) be
is a native, and a quiet inoffensive nam -though
his name is Augustus Ctrsar -we see no reason
why the appointment should be censured.
Nothing is clearer than that Madrid will be
more talked of here during the next year or
two tban tbe United States in Spain. M. Soale
will soon be on liie way home; and, though
doubtless his own course has cot been faultier,
be has a budget of complaints to make against
the Cabinet which, if managed with anything
like ordinary dexterity, cannot fail to creaT? a
sensation. Now, M. Soule possess a vast deal
of French tact and address; and if he can
manage to curb the violence of Ms tea per, wHl
be likely to prove a far more formidable op
pemnt than Mr. Marcy expect*. Hhs ground
work Is good. Shortly after be left this
for Madrid, instructions were sent him
relative to the Black Warrior case. They
were the joint production of Mr. Dudley Maun
and Mr. Pierce, chiefly the former ; and Mr.
Marcy had adopted them and acqaicsced in their
propriety. They were, as is pretty well
known, very strong in their language, and
directly to the point : to avoid misconception,
therefore, M. Soule, adopted t^eir very words
in his despatch to Caldoron de la Barca, and
demanded a categorical answer within twenty
four hours. The answer caine, flatly refusing
tbe demands of the American Minister. The
question arose, what was ntxt to In* done? Mr
Dudley Mann, and M. Soule were for strong
mea-ures and warning the Spanish government
O at they must take tbe consequences of their
act. No other course iu fact would have been
consistent with the previous deapttch to the
minister. But Marcy. whose stamina vu ma
terially impaired by the conflict on the Ne
t:ra>ka bill, had grown timorous, and would
bluster no longer. Pierce, too. naturally averse
to bold measures, was an anxious to get out of
the scrape aa he had been hasty in getting into
it. t urthor instructions of a conciliatory na
ture were accordingly sent to M. SoulJ. These
t of course plact-d bim in a ridiculous position
at Madrid, and the revolution breaking out at
tbe time, he availed himself of the opportunity
to leave the city, and consult with his brother
ministers at Paris, London and the Hague.
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Mason met M. Soul.' at
Offtcnd, decidedly approved his course, and
wrote letters home to that effect. Meanwhile
however, Marcy 's letters showing less and less
backbone, Soul6 wrote out a letter or resigna
tion And sent it to a friend, a member of the
administration, requesting him to deliver it
whenever in bis judgment he could no longer
hold the < flice of minister with credit or honor.
The friend, deeming the proper moment alrea
dy arrived, sent in the resignation at once; and
hence the changes noticcd above.
All th^se transaction* will afford fair material
for a crusade against tbe administration. *1 r Bu
chanan, whom we have no hesitation in holling
responsible for a stai'-ment contained in an ar
ticle in tbe London Globe of 2f>?h January ? re
published in yesterday's Htnun ? docs not un
derstand what is passing here, and seems to
know as little of what is taking place in Ku
ropc. Thus he did not know that Soul* had
restpned though ho bad parted from him only a
sh^rt while previous,and though bis resignation
was in Washington when the (Slobr received ita
information from the emhassj. He was not
aware that a levolntion had taken place tn the i
foreign policy of tbe administration ; though ;
Mr. Marcy ?s despatches after tbe Ostend con- ;
ftrenoe must bate hinted very plainly at somo !
sueb change, and though every one here was
qni?e familiar with its character. If we were
wiwitr. as the Gfcbr says, in supposing that !
Mr. Buchanan would re?ign, onr mistake lay in
forming too high an estimate of that gentle- .
ii an a spirit; our statements of feet have since
t^en fully verified, a* Mr Boehanan probably I
tioae with regard to M. Scute's future c ^,..0
aw fully realized as be could wish.

has any regard lor his own comfort, aod future

as much as he can of his twenty-seven tbous&ad

Tn>; Recent Election or Wm H. Seward. ?
We have received numerous letters from various
parts of the Slate denouncing, in no measared
terms, the votes of members of Assembly at the
recent election of Wm. H. Seward. It is neither
advisable nor necessary to make them public,
inasmuch as the question they would agitate
has been finally set at rest. Among these letters
there is oiie asserting that John F. Raymond,
member of Assembly for Richmond county, was
solemnly pledged to vote against Seward ; an
other from Elmira, states that Orrin Robinson,
also member of Assembly, had promised to
support the American party ; a third tellB us
that Jonathan Edwards, of Troy, was elected
as an anti-Seward man ; a fourth declares that
the votes of Mr. Speaker Littlejohn and Edmund
Cole, representative from Rensselaer county,
have excited the wrath of their constituents,
and that they have been burned in effigy, and
so forth. Of course we cannot vouch for the
truth of what our correspondents say. But, if
true, we trust it will be such a wholesome warn
ing that the people of this State, and the Ame
rican party in particular, will, for the future,
elect none but tbote in whom they have the
most implicit, unwavering confidence. By this
alone can theultimite triumph of any party be
achieved.
Great Increase of Unitarians. ? Mr. Henry
A. Wise, in his late speech at Alexandria, Va.,
says that the Know Nothings are sworn in
upon a belief in u Supreme Being, not as a
Trinity but as a Unity, and that consequently
the Know Nothings are all Unitarians. If this
be so, the late increase of the Unitarians is
wilhout a parallel in all history. The next
step will be Mabomedanism? " God is God, and
Mahomet is hte Prophet." Will the people per

Mr. Wise have it all onr own way.

Mr. Ma.xuikld offered the following:?
Whereas, There has existed for many years several fire
companies in this city, and attached to tbe New York
fire department, known as hydrant companies; and
Whereas, It id a well knewn tact to every active fire
man, that mojt of those companies have not, since the
corporation ordinance was originally passed creating
hydrint companies, done comparatively any fire duty,
to the great injury of the active members of the fire de
partment, they reoeivinj the same beneBts and exemp
tion* that those firemen receive who do the actiue work
of the department: therefore,
Resolved, That the officer* of this meeting prepare a
memorial in behalf of this body, to be sent to the Com
mon Council immediately, respectfully praying that alt
hydrant compaaiej now existing be disbanded, and that
the ordinance creating tbe same may be repealed forth
with.
Altar soaw discussion, the resolution* were laid on
the table by a vote of 48 to 28. The board then ad
journed.
