Ihe resolutions, too,are worthy the men from whom thev emanate : OLD NORTHAMPTON Mli! PATRIOTIC RESOLUTION'S. I'be Democracy of Northampton county has assem bled in its might to congratulate its members, and our ieilow-republieans Jhioeghout the State and L nion on the triumph of correct principles in the elec tion of Henry A. H tse, the candidate of the party, a, governor ot Virginia—to renew our allegiance to our time honored organization —to L-ar our testimony to the correct principles of our party —to the ruinous results which have ever characterized the tempora ry successes ot our opponents : and to prepare for the coming contest in our own State : We do therefore Resolve : 1. That we hail with unmixed feelitigs ot gratifi cation, the glorious triumph of the principles of De mocracy' at the recent elect ion in the good old ( om monwealth of Virginia. A result which has stem med the torrent of error, fra'xl. fanaticism and bigo try, which had threatened to overwhelm our land— sap the foundations ot our institutions —violate the principles of our constitution anil jeopard the I nion of these States, cemented by the toil and blood ot the j Revolution and established by the wisdom and patri otism of our ancestors. *2. That The native state o! Washington, Jefferson, .Mailt-on, Monroe and Patrick Henry va - the proper held for the defeat of the conspirators against the constitution and laws ot our country. It was the pro per bieakwater, in the language ot President Ptetce, to stay the tide of Know Norhingism, Abolitionism, anil all ofl.ei intolerant /.w/o, that bad tor their ob ject the destruction of all that m near and dear to the friends of our glorious Union—a- well as to the friends of civil and religion- liberty everywhere. :t That we were wont to boa-t. that this, our land, was an asylum lor the oppressed ot all nation-, and we invite Mich hither to tabernacle among u protrn-ing theni, that here they should be permitted to worship God according to the dictates of their own consfienees—with none to harm thern or make them afraid. We promised them the enjoyment ot those equal rights won for us by our father-, and a partici pation in our ; ivib-gps , tizeus of this tree repub lic, when alter a reasonable probation they deliberate ly de-tred to become our fellow-citizens.and we are not willing to incur the reproach, that ail these invita tions, professions and promises were mere hollow hypocrisy. t. That the secret conspiracy which, within the last year, has been concocted by wicked and design ing men to create prejudices and distinctions between native born and naturalized citizens, and between different religious detiomm.Tions—■ which are not on ly not recognized, but forbidden by the Const.tut on, should be reprobated by every honest m.to, who has the welfare of his country at heart. .7. That the attempt to prevent an open and inde pendent expression of opinion by any section of nor citizens in the selection of men lor office, by secret ly compelling the members of the -elf-styled Ameri can party to vo r e tor whoever a majority of their as sociation shall select—no matter how deficient m qualifications and integrity, and without regard to the preferences of the voter, is a conspiracy against the liberties of our country and the free and indepen dent exercise of th<* right of suffrage. 6. That a I secret oaths and engagement* to de prive any ot our citizens ol tne right- guaranteed to them bv the Constitution, is a conspiracy against the rights of ma: —ar.d a wicked attempt to introduce an irresponsible tyranny and n our sympathetic feelings for The oppres-ed of other lands, we held out to timm The hand of invitation and friendship, fo come among us and participate in the enjoyments of free lbought tree -|(ee c t,—free conscience and tree i ights, which vie enjoyed. Our tat tier* had fled from oppres sion to the-;- shores, and felt it it sacred duty to make our land an asylum for all who had been oppressed like them. The enn-t station of the~Unitod States makes no distinction between natural born and naturalized cit izens, except that the latter are excluded from the offices of President and Vice President ol the United States. We have therefore rhe-e things laid down as funda mental principles of our government—while they ex ist, we have no right direct!}' to disregard them— indeed the law would not permit lis so todo. What we cat.not do directly, we ought not fo h- permitted to do indirectly—hence it was tf.at when filling a judicial station 1 felt It mv duty to charge the grand Junes in and adjacent district that: "If any two or more men shall combine together for the purpose of preventing any of our citizens, nat uralized or native, ftom enjoving the right guaran teed to them by the constitution, it is a conspiracy and punishable as such by indictment. If any two or more men combine together to pre vent any citizen from enjoving the rights guaranteed to him by the constitution, on account of fis religi gou- feeling, or particular mode ot worshipping the!, it is a conspiracy and punishable a- such by in d icl rneiit. If any number of men, combine of form themselves into an association, by agreements, vow or oaths to control the opinions and votes ot any portion of citi zens, m trie exerci-e of their suffrages, so that they shall vote not according to their own choice or the dictates of their own consciences, but as ,i majority of such association shall determine, it is a conspira cy and punishable as such by indictment. Am! H is the agreement to do 'lre act, that con stitutes the criminality, even if the act itself be no done." I took occasion then, also to say: "That if any person or persons, shall have unthinkingly, unadvis edly or without being aware o! the criminal chrtiac ter of-uch an art, joined such association or taken upon himself any such vows, obligation-, or oaths, they are rtot binding upon him in law and ought not to be in morals. Me will enact the part of a good citizen by eschewing all such fellowship or associa tion and abandoning their illegal enterprise." I'pori a careful review of this subject, I can see nothing in law or morals to induce any change in the doctrines thus laid down, and 1 am glad to find that tile same views have been taken upon this subject in New York and North Carolina. It is the view wh-ch is sanctioned by Jaw, by sound policy and good morals. From what we learn of this association which changes its name as often as Proteus is fabled to have changed his form, the members are sworn to deny that they belong to it. That they are to preserve its secrets and that all their doing- are secret ami in conclave. They vote in secret to nominate their can didates for political offices, and each member is sworn fo vote for Ihe candidate who receives such secret nomination—they are sworn not to support the nom ination or appointment of any man, who happened riot to draw his tir-t breath upon our -oil or who has ln-en educated or chooses to worship find according to the ritual and doctrine- of the Roman Cetfcolic Church. There may be other objectionable obliga tions a-sumed by the member but the.,,- are enough in all con-cience, to stamp their proceedings with the reprobation of all honest men who love the institu tions of our country. In the fir.-: place, a high regard to tnoialitv will insure correct habits of thinking and acting. A sa cred regard for truth, is essential to the well being of the community. A wilful disregard of Truth isthe father of a whole system of crimes. Whatever tends to produce such disregard inflicts a positive injury upon the community. By reducing the standard of truth ami encouraging immorality. What, then shall we think of an organization which requires of its members an oath that they will tint sjieak the truth, but that they will utter false hood in denying that they belong to it. Kveu the habit of equivocation, which, would Hold the word of promise to the ear And break it to tbe -ense, tends greatly to destroy the moral sense, and who would desire to live in a community where such doc trines were generally th rule of action ? Again, in their mode of selecting candidates, this secret, midnight voting argues that there is some thing kw: gin ij. Why seek the dark unless their deeds are evil .' In a republican government, where ' the people are -wfeieign, *vei ythtng should he o|iett j to the face of day. In the ordinary transactions of j life, we find it laid down that the secret transaction p. business is always su-picious. In political toea- , Mires the people should always know everything that , is proposed and they should have a lull opportunity j of discussing the merits and pretension- of every can didate who is propospd for office, openly and publicly, in ord-r that the best men may be selected. In a -g- I cret cabal, the designing demagogue has a greater' opportunity to further Ins own selfish views and rob ; the people of their rights. And,if he can in addition ; ' to this, compel other# to support him in his iniquit- | ou- projects, great indeed is the injury inflicted upon j popular sovereignty. But then, this compelling men 1 : jn sacrifice their own opinion, and vote as other- ! i -half direct, is an utter subversion of the right of; ; suffrage— it is tyranny and despotism, whether ex- j crrtsed by one man or by many men—the tyranny of the many is often more destructive of the rights of others than the tyranny of one man. There may be I generous impulses about a despot which would not pervade a set of selfish aristocrats or demagogues.— The giving up ol one's own opinion of the fitness of a ■ candidate for office and blindly following the orders of othe r in voting, i- entirely destructive of the right of free choice which is the object of the ballot box- The open meeting together of men professing the I same political creed and selecting from a number of I aspirants those thought worthy of public support for office, is a proper mode for the concentration of pub lie opinion, to carry out the principle-ol the party, j hut there i. no compulsion by secret oaths in that ca-e, to compel a man to vote for such candidate if he is not worthy of public confidence. That is a very different thing from the secret midnight oath bound conclave of the Know-Nothings, lt was the secret conclaves ; the deep and silent intrigues of thetyrants who ruled "France in the reign of terror, that under the name of libertv. deluged that fair country with blood. Beware that you do not permit like causes to produce like efT-ds heie. So much for the moral and political aspects of this organizalioo. independent of its attempts m restrict the rights of naturalized citizens and Catholic-, fn these respect-, their operations are as unjust in point of principles, as thev are illegal and unconstitutional in point of law. Ir is an attempt, bv operating upon sectarian and local feelings, to create a prejudice against all persons horn in foreign cnuntries—no mat ter how long since they may have been naturalized nor how long they have resided among u— no matter that They are men of the highest moral worth, intel ligence ar.d virtue. No matter that they have come to this country from deliberate choice, and have mar ried and settled among you. None of these thing can be taken into consideration in a proscription that reaches the w hole class. Talents, capacity, integrity ot the highesr older, arid education of the mo-t fitii-h --ed kind, ar>* all to he set aside fur the mere accident of birth. Many of these foreigners who have come here by choice many who have come h-re in infan cy with their parents, and have really known no other country than fh:-. have been citizens of (he United Slates for more years than many of those who find fault with thpin have attained. I am not one of those, who prrf'rr foreigners to native bom citizens. But all should have the nght wh eh the constitution guarantees. As i? lias, been remarked, there i- little danger of the naturalized citizens controlling our election*. Notwithstanding all that can lie said upon this -nhjec? as to the matter of principles, there i- ami will be such a partiality among th>- majority oi our native horn citizen-, in lavor of themselves, that they will riot grant to the minority, which our naturalized citizen- compo-e. a whit more of public patronage and employment, Than their numbers and capacity entitle them to—if so much. There tnav have been exceptions to thi-. in former days, in some of our large cities, w here both the political parties into which our conntrv was di vided, have been courting Ihe foreign population bv giving theui place and office. But this hj, corrected itself, and now they scarcely have justice done to them iti this re-pect. Such was even the case before this organized proscription took place. But through out the country thev constitute but a drop in the bucket of our entire population, so that if thev were even dispn-ed to evil, ot which we have no evidence, they would he perfectly impotent to accomplish their Object. The result therefore is, that this denunciation and proscription of naturalized citizens, is sheer pretense —a bug-bear, created by political hypocrites and knaves, to bamboozle political fools. A sheer hum bug To bring unthinking men from the support of the Democratic party, which always goe- for the support of the principles of tree government and has in view the greatest good of the greatest number—maintains the right and capacity of the people to govern them selves, extends equal rights to all, because it holds that all rn'-n are created equal. It is to seduce men from flii party to aid unprincipled a-pirants to obtain office and plac-—to fatten upon the public—to be fed from the public treasury, that this prejudice is fos tered and fomented. This and the prejudice excited agan st one christian denomination, have enabled this organization by coalescing with other r*.s to sweep the late elections in several of the t-fate- and invest them with power, which they have in every instance aflfid, used without discretion ami without at y re gard to the organic law of our country. Th' pro scription. for opinion's sake in matters of religion, independent of its beir.g a palpable infraction of the principle- of the constitution of the United States and of this Stare, and a criminal offence, tor which, fhe punishment by fine and imprisonment, is none too heavy, is calculated to set society by its ears, and introduce a state of feeiing that would make a perfect Pandemonium ofonrhappv conntiy—it is an offence, against the light and intelligence of the nine teenth century —an attempt to bring us back to the da-k ag.-s ot barbnti-m and superstition, ere the press had been brought in u-e Tosprcad light and knowledge over a benighted world. If the moral and political atmosphere of our country, i- thus to be beclouded, then the Declaration of Independence was adopted for nothing, and the toil, treasure and blood of the Revo lution spent in pur-nit of a phantom, which appeared but to deluge the oppressed and down-trodden friends ol liberty. This • Section in Virginia has cheered the members of the Democratic party throughout the ['iron. It shows, that there i- a redeeming spirit in thp people —it encourage- the republican.by *rivinn him another evidence that the people are fit to be their own rulers —it -rives to ail who have an abiding confidence in popular jovernment an assurance that that confidence is not misplaced. The people are awakened to a sense of the error and misrepresentation by which they were misled. The light of troth is irradiating our whole political atmosphere, and error and mis representation must fly diseomfitted from the radiant light of truth. Hundreds and thousands of deceived men seeing the abyss into which the measures of their deceivers were about to plunge the institutions ol our country, will shrink aghast from the spectacle refu-e their aid to make shipwreck of the hope- of patriotism, and turn upon the men who have been luring them on to This work of destruction. The people are al ways honest when rightly informed; they never inten tionally do a jiolitica! wrong. If under impulse and misrepresentation, they sometimes err trooi the infir mity of human nature, they correet the evil at the first opportunity. Time and the ballot box—the dif fusion of knowledge and truth are great correctives of the evils to which political society is subject. To those who have unwillingly been led a-tiay but have now seen their error, arid repent nf if. |e; n bold out the hand of reconciliation and forgiveness. To err is human—to forgive divine. To tho-e who, with light anil truth before them, per-ist in these flagitious attempts to violate the right" dear to freemen. no such kindly fee! ings should he extended they have shown the rloven foot and are unfit associates for the children of truth ami light. Thank God, the I)emocrary ol the "Tenth Ltgiou" has stood firm throughout this conflict. To her is to be imputed no part of the degradation to which our Commonwealth has been subjected"-—let ns again stand together, shoulder to shoulder, a solid phalanx in the great armv of Democracy. Let ns watch that no traitors or hypocrites be put forth as our standard bearers, and we may. at the next session of the Leg islature, sw eep from our statute books much of the disgraceful legislation which the wickedness, cor ruption and ignorance of the |a-t legislature enacted. It may safely he said of them, that they have fur nished another conclusive evidence that our political opponents never obtained power that they did not abuse it, and never got into power without being turned out by the people at the first constitutional opportunity.

JIFCIure, Editor of tfir Chnm berkburz Repository ami Whig, and one of Gov. POLLOCK'S prominent Ojfice-h'ol ders ! ! Jfthe American party would regain the pow er it has lost—yea, if even its existence is to witness national organization and a national victory, il can no longer delay the thorough mod ification of its anti-repuhlican system of disci pline. It standard must be flung to the breeze in open dav with its principles inscribed there on,or it-must fall a speedy victim to the very causes whir l) have given it its hot-bed growth. Its extra-judicial oaths, requiring .1 blind adhe sion to the edicts of the partv without regard to the claims of men or measures, is a feature of political discipline that must soon die out in a country proverbial for its political and persona! freedom, as is ours. In Virginia it only served to make the discomfiture more poignant and overwhelming. Thousands of men, hound by all the solemnity of an extraordinary oath, trembled and faltered as they were called upon to give their r/r suffrages in accordance with their obligations. The oath was to have secured certain success, hut the result demon strates that it is stripped of all its moral power when its is prostituted to unworthy purposes.— Thus thousands of high-minded, independent Whig voters were driven over to WISE bv the intolerant movements of the American partv, and other thousands who were to fill up the vacant places had not the nerve to face the light fo day in the exercise of their guaranteed rights. Thus was Wise ejected—thus was American ism defeated, not onlv in the State at large bv more than a usual Democratic majority, hut not a single Congressman fas been saved from the wreck. We submit in all candor whether tlies,- results do not demand the serious reflec tion oftfie American party. It is the warning voice that presents the alternative to the order, 'to choose hi'twee,, the immediate adoption of a si ste;n of government suited to the sympathies I of the American people, embracing the largest measure of persrnal freedom, or accept an in gloi i. us overthrow. We know that hundreds fold partv hacks, all manner of political trick sters. all styles of nev fledged leaders, whose flattering self-importance is threatened. v< ill at once denounce any efforts to popularize the American party. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose, and their only hope of | success is hv those regulations which ignore merit, and hind the subordinates to a ; ject sub mission. Such will tell how fortunate was the defeat in Virginia how immeasurably the partv is to fie benefitted thereby, and how disas trous would have been th-> election of the American ticket at this particular crisis, though de ir heartv huzzas over the proseriptive defeat iof the Democracy have scarcely died away.— They are Americans on!v herause old parties ; in ! better men tor official station, and because they have high hopes of" success now if Know- Nothingism can only be rrade to preserve its present inviting avenues for [Kifitical chicanery. They care not how s "in tbev drive it to destruc tion if'thev can only reach power, and hence it .s with them a question of life <>r death to resist the modifications which alone can save the American party from annihilation.
