wh?n the my-called American banner shall be
tr*inp!o<l deep in theniire of ignominious defeat
and oiaf^aco?when there shall be none so poor *
m to doit reverence.
We caino across the foregoing sentence in .
r the columns of an exchange paper, some
days ago, and cut it out with a view to its
publication. We now carry out that view, '
and call the attention of the public to the 1
atrocious sentiment it contains. We have
never known anything of tho kind to excel
it, in bol.l, rank, unmitigated depravity.
But, to adopt the outy construction the
best friend of the writer could desire for
hint, and there i? no loophole for escape.?
lie has effectually iiupiisooed himself. The
'banner alluded to, can be none other than
that used by the present American parly, and
they use but one, and onjjj one?the Star
Spangled Banner of theirnative land. No
other flag floats from thoir masthead. No
other symbol wooes the breezes of heaven
over their places of meeting. No other era'
blem?and none other is needed?graces
their council halls. The star gemmed signal
of freedom's might and sovereignty is fll
and all with them. And well may it be, for
no such standard ever glittered in tho sunlight
since tho morning tdars first sang together
for joy over a new-born world.
But this writer?and we are sorry to say
* .v there are many more like hiin?for wretched
partisan purposes, when ndtfln sinnfo principle
is involved, so far as their siifo is concerned?boastinglv
and arjpgantly predicts
that such a banner "shall be trampled deep
in the miro of ignotnonious disgrace and defeat!
Unthinking, rash and unpatriotic
men ! Trample that flag in the mire?deep
in the mire?of disgrace ! May (lie spirit
of patriotism forgive them, for they know
nrtl U'li'tf Hiav fi'iv rip ?!.* Hi furo th.it Inn

In the mire of disgrace?
"Full many, a penson shall he torn.
And many a knight to earth be borne, 1
And many a banner rout." I
Hundred* of thousands of gallant hearts
throb and bound at the thought of it. It
inspires proud and glowing rceollections.? ,
Hundreds of thousands of strong arms are
ready to protect it to the death ; and hundreds
of thousands of oyos are watching it
with an intensity and an eagerness not sur- (
Ensued by that of the pool Key, when, from 1
is foreign prison sh ip, with straining eyoballs
he sought to pcuetrAte the gloom of the
morning to discover if4ho flag of his country
still waved majestically from the rampart*
of a beleaguered fortress, or whether it f
had gone dovrn before the fearful bombard- >
racnt of the night previous. To the young ^
patriot, seconds seemed minutes, and rain- ;
utes days, and hours weeks?as with beating
heart and almost maddened brain he '
watched tlio dappling of the gray tints of the
eastern sky into day, and awaited the beams
of the morning sun fo clear away tlio mist*
of the waters that obstructed his vision in c
the direction of the object upon which his r
whole soul was centered. At last, last?
but, oh, how long it seemed to liiin !?his .
wish was grAtifled. His own glowing lines
best described his feelings: 1
"On the shore dimly seen through tho mists on i
the deep, V* ? s
Whero the foo's haughty Jiost in dread silence s
reposes,
"What is that which the breexo o'er the towering
s
steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals half discloses! H
Now, it catohes tho?gleam of the morning's first
beam?
Til the star-spangled banner! oh, long may it
wave
O'er the land of the freo and the home of the 1
brave." '
That is the self same, identical flag, the <
American party is now ligh ing for and un- t
der; and as great Britain, aided bv many ,
thousands of foreign mercenaries, failed in
the first and second attempt to trail it in the
mire of disgrace, we imagine little need be (
apprehended from the anli-Americans of the j
present era.

The Speakership.
The canvass for Speakership of the '
House has conimenced with great anituation.
The Republican fusion ists 1
have, perhaps, a greater number of 1
members than any other party or I
faction. Their candidate is not yet i
settled upon. It may bo Mace, of Indiana,
formerly a Democrat; L. O.
Campbell, of Ohio, F rec Soil Deiuo
crat; Banks, of Mass, late a free Koil!
Democrat, or G}ddings, Independent. .
The Democrats have numerous competitors.?There
are Richardson, of Illi- '
uois, OrTjOi ?. i).: iioweli Cobb, of 1
Georgia, Thomas II. Bay ley, and other <
Virginians. There are not more than
a dozen Whigs proper in the House.? |
They will hardly run a separate candidate.
The preferences of the Know
Nothing are divided between Haven*,
of New York, late Whig, and perhaps ^
the moijt prominent representative of !
The Order J Humphrey Marshall, late
^ Filmore and Silver Grey Whig ; Extra j
Billy Smith, of Virginia, late Eire-eat- (
ing Democrat; Judge William H.
Smith, of Alabama, late Democrat; (
and Banks of Massachusetts, named 1
# above. Of these last five, 1 consider <
the chance of Havens and Marshall to |
he nearly ballaneed, and practically to |
absorb those of all others of the Know ,
Notlilhg platform. The Southern .

Arc., Arc., Arc.
The news received on Thursday from Europe
is of the highest importance.
Two steamships have arrived?the Washington
at this port from Southampton with
advices to the 12th, and the America at
Halifax from Liverpool with accounts to the
15th inst.
The great fact by these steamers is the
fall of Seba&topol. New York was thrown
into a state of great excitement as soon as
the news spread over tbo city.
All the space we can spare, to tho exclusion
of other interesting matter, is devoted to
the details of this very iinportnnt news.
Ou the 8th inst. the allied forces attacked
the defences of Sebastopol, and the French
succeeded in gaining possession of the Malakoff.
The English who attempted tiro lledan
were not successful. During the night the
Russians in the exacerbation of despair, began
to 6*mk their ships, blow up their magazines
and burn their city, and ou the following
morning Sebastopol wa* evacuated, nud
the communication between tbe north forts
and the town broken off.
The assault on the Mahikoff was made at
noon of tiic 8th iust. Its redoubts and the
lledan of Careening Bay were carried by
the French soldiers with admirable intrepidity
to the shout# of " J7vc P Empcrcur /"?
Tito ileoan of Careening Bay was not tens
blc% owing to the heavy tire of artillery,
which was poured upon the first oceupici-s of
that work. On beholding tfie French eagles
floating on tho Malakoft", Gen. do Snllcs
made two attacks on tho Central Bastion,
but did not succeeded. The French tioops
returned to their trenches. The losses were
?erious.
The plan of tho battle appears to have
beeu as follows
Tne place was attacked in four directions,
rhe British troops attempted the storming
>f the Rednn, tho French attacked the Malakotf.
The extreme right of tho French
made a diverson on the Littlo Redau, and a
united attack of the English, French and Sardinians
was lhndfe on the Central Battery.?
All the atuicks were made simultaneously,
with great spirit and energy; but the one
which was eminently successful was led by
Gen. Bosquet and Gen M'Mahan im the Malakoft.
Both the Redan and tne Central
Bastion were at times in the hands of the
storming parlies; hut so accurately did the
guns of the Russians cover these, that as
soon as the English had gained possession o(
them, it was found impossible to hold them.
The intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol
was received in London with demonstrations
of great joy. At the various theatres and
places of public amusement the fact was officially
announced and the bands at each
plnco immediately played the national anthems
of England and France. Throughout
England the demonstations were general.

Oavazzi on Popery. ;
Father Oavnzzi, an Italian, was in the Uni- 1
, ted States in 1853. He delivered a number '
of lectures to his countrymen every Sunday 1
evening in the city of Now York on Cat ho- <
licisni." These lectures, with an account of;'
his life, have been published. Wo lako the i
following extracts from his farewell address. 1
Let it bo remembered that this address was 1
delivered in 185U?viz:
"I come to some general conclusions, for 1
the benefit of your whole country. When 1
I arrived* the prevalence of power and opin- 1
ion was for the Papists; the Lupisls were !
freo to speak against Protestants, but the
Piotestant* were not at liberty to apeak '
against Papists ; therefore, it was necessary '
to interpose a war in order to recover a bal- 1
ancc. Yea, in America, thero was freedom 1
to speak against Protestants. bnt let us alsp 1
have freedom for Protestants, to s|>eHk '
against the Popish system. It is also neces- '
sary to maintain the purity of Protestantism. '
In order to maintain (ho purity of the air, it '
is sometimes necessary to have fresh breezes ; 1
in order to maintain the purity of water, it '
is necessary to have strong gn'les ; and in or- '
dtr to maintain the purity of Protestantism, (
it is necessary to have fresh and evcr-renew- 1
ed discussion. Without discussion I'rotes- <
tnnti-m becomes dull and damp ; thorcfoie {
it is necessary to retiow, from time to time, n i
discussion about Protectant matters, and cs-!
pcciallv to preserve Protestants from the errors
or Popery.
"My dear brethren, remember what Christ
sni4.in tho gospel, when the father of a family
was asleep the enemy of man cftmc to
sow over the good field bad tares. When
you sleep, when you rest peaceably over
your American laurels, the Jesuits, bishop*,
and archbishops, work and row tares irt the
. Protestant field, my dear brethren; and, j
therefore, war, war, to excite the eradication")
of these weeds ; and, finally, war to cut oft';
the rl-ing influence of Popcdygi and Popery j
in this country."
MOh, America! you arc no more to-day
as you were in 1820 or 1830. Day after
day and year after year the Roman Catholic
population increases in your country ; atid
what is worse, the Jesuits increase in your
country ; Roman Catholic prelates increase,
and even apparent Protestants, with Cntho
lie views, and nrfflcinlc-s at heart. Therm.
I fore, I repeat, that if twenty years ftgo it 1
was a crime to speak against Papery, to-day 1
it is n crime to t*o silent on Popery. It is 1
your duty, Amoricnns, to iook about you to 1
discover the art* of the- l'apists, employed
to overthrow your religious and civil liberty ;
therefore war. always war, end every where 11
war, in your America, by myself will I pro* <
claim. i
"Now, I say, yes, give leave *b> all who
chooso to land, on your hospitable shore.j I
. May America ever he the hospitublo refuge' i
of nil Europe, as it now is ; and also let the ; <
Roman Catholic be free in his worship in i
America. Yes, but if they are free in this |
conntry, may America never become a Ro- |
inun Catholic conntry.
"Let it be different from my dear country ; I
let there be free land, free government, but
no Roman Catholic government I Never, i
Never P* ' I
"Oh, my dear brethren, educato your 1
; young people in Pfulee&frt learning; pre- i
vent your boys from being scandals and dis- <
graces, and you will have stronger native
Americans in future. Moreover, educate
your children in the glorious duties of An
American citizen; especially, inculcate in
them the freedom of voting at your elections i
according to tho> conscience, their opinion,
and for the benefit of their native country,
and not to vote for bishops, archbishops, or
father confessors f
"Nuw, hk an appendix totliisaccond corollary,
I recommend your country, and if it is
impossible, according to your Constitution,;
to expel from Arnorica the fo?eign Jesuits, |
and prelates coming in so rapidly fromj 1
Rome, watch, Americans, watch in order to
prevent mol*, riots, and discords, which
they proinoto and encourage, as they did
last year in England."
Father C^vazzi's prediction has been too
truly verified by the horrible scenes sulmtr
quentlr witnessed in different parts of the
' United States. ,
An unjust acquisition is like a barbed at*
r rovr, which must bo drawn backward with
I horrible anguish, or else will bo your destrucr
