(Applause.) This same spirit assem bled tho patriots of thirty-ono States in the cily of Philadelphia ln.it week. It was cs skilfully and einjdiatieiilly 'u national coun cil, and presented a iin'iotial platform a platform in stiict nccrdtinco with tho spirit a id le"er of tho Constitution, wherein pri-vat-' interest nnd public weal are so nicely and eiiuilab'y conjoined that all its perva ding and irresistible moral influence will bo exercised and implicitly obeyed through our wholo vast empire, without creating any pressure on one particular part like the su perincumbent weight of tho atmosphere, whose pressure, though powerful, yet from its well-a Ijiiited equipoise, becomes as light nnd buoyant as the film of the gossamer recognizing no N'ortli, no South, no East, no West; but each man in his own particular State feeling w ith his brothers that they are all children of ihesanio gieat family, look ing up to tho same Common Father for sup pint, and their hearts overflowing with those procium, gushing, tmialguuinling American sympathies tJiat shall forever sanctify them. (Applause.) What brothers did we live to behuld in (Illicit r of Philadelphia ? You of tile old line, you of '44. wh i watched tho cradle of Sam in his infancy. (Cheers.) A Voice 1 did, and I was taken prison er, too. Mr Lkvix Yon of the old lino of '41 watched over his cradle'diingers, nnd we felt a genuine American prido as wo gazed on bis noble form and his o.v.'Ig glance. The representatives of other States, nlas, felt no sympathetic American throb; they deter mined todtsligure the symmetry of his man ly form, to blacken his white American face, 'oabdtiel him tis a fugitive slave, transferring him to Cleveland, Ohio, there to re-christen him by lii-hop Hughes, and change his glo rious Am. rienn inline from Sam to Seward ! (Applause.) Put, fellow A lliei iciliis, the plot has tailed. J lie web was woven w ith all the noiseless dexterity of the spider, but its meshes proved as weak ; the conspirators were caught ill the net, and we liolo ilium up lo public scorn and execration, fain, our own glorious S.-un, instead of being disfig ured, or liuviii'r his comph xioii cliaiigeo, now stands b.edlv upon nn American plat- lorm, like a giant reln shed by sleep, with tho stirs mid strip s Hunting o'er him. A Voicn What about Shiffler, the tnnr- tvr ot poier v : Mr. Levin Flo fell as Americans are ever ready to fall, in. defense of 'heir rights. If vou wUh to trace to their original source the causes that have threatened American institutions, you will find them in the Pope's Encyclical letter of 1840, against slaveiy, not in cjinm, Portugal, or Italy, but slavery in the United States ! In 184(1 that missive t..,t ..A liiiti it c.tUiel nn h.. 1 hihi. l O'Cnnpll'a celebrated letter to the I Repealers of Cincinnati, in which ho told them that where thev had the elective fran chise, to cast their votes in such n way as to carry out tho pious intentions of his Holi ness tho Pope. As subjects of tho Pope, they were directed to advocate Irish repeal, and, as pious members of the Church, to op pose slavery. I hen it was that acwaru, over-estimating tho abolition VQte of the United States, and supposing that by com bining with it the liish Catholic voto he might gain an ascendencv, forgot the claims of his native land, and knelt to the emissary of his Holiness. The result is before the world. What is tho banner now raised in Cleveland, Ohio, by the emissaries of the Pope, who are still determined to carry out his pious intentions? It is the banner of disunion black, blast ing, and bloody ! There is no midway path for them ; they have struck out the Ameri can sentiment, aii'f inado tho issue slavery or no slavery. This is the pla'form on which the enemies of the Republic stand.

(Immense niilat!.e.) The American party stands upon its American plat form, nnd 'thero it will stand forever. It will ding to the confederacy while there is n plank left, on which it can stand and raise its voice: it will cling to il with that dying grasp with which the lorn mariner hugs the plank that buoys him up from tho very jaws of death J n::d you too, my brothers, you, of tho old guard, j'oii will cling to it if you would preserve a land in depend' tit, nnd undismayed ; cling to it, if you would preserve the honor of ancient days, or the splendor of promised greatness: cling to il, if you would transmit lo your children's children, the freedom lo w hich you wcro born. (Applause.) Our oppo nents in Philadelphia were not even in favor of half measures, when a nation looked for whole ones. They were for doing nothing tit Philadelphia lending iho party like a l.nnb to Cleveland, to receive the Seward stamp upon its front. 15nt, thank God, the conspirators have been foiled, tho plot has failed, nud our parly sttinds lirnily bv the constitution, its league firmly knit, nnd the henrts of its members devoted and true. We have lost nono but "auxiliaries, if that term ba not too strong to overrate their zeal. T!iey surely overlooked, in their impious hi rogance, tho sublime truth that when God sends blessings to man. he also sends angels to protect thein. What the Warning sword of tho angel of Paradise was to our (r.st parents, tho freedom of the press is to the generation that gathered irom tne reformation of Lulhor the immortal princi ples embodied in tho Rights of Man. You, yo men of '44, have seen the American flag trampled in the dust, and American freemen shot down in cold blood, in defence of their dearest rights. Though nohlo Kensington and glorious old Sotilhwaik were drenched, they were fertilized by'pure American blood. Did wo despair? No! We citing the faster to nur belief, as the mountaineer on the lone hill side grasps the heather the lighter the inbro fiercely tho storm .rages. And we will not abondon it now that the sun has at last broken from behind the cloud. Wo gaze upon the bow resting one glorious extremity up-m 1 Xoith, the other reach ing to the furthermost part of the South, and wo admire the Power that can lend beiiutv to I he seeming rlemeiitsof destruc tion and enable us to mingle a cup of the richest pleasure over tho reinemberanee of past wrongs and injuries. (Ureatnpplause.) Should other storms await us, wo aio pre pared to meet them, assured that in the discharge of duty there is happiness, even in the sternest trials. And now, my broth els' a one of the old guard of '44, 1 have a word or two to say in reference to myself. I know you will laugh at the point ; and I intend to join in it myself. Long before a single ward association was formed in Philadelphia, I took tho stand in favor of the principles for which you are contending. My pen and my voice ; my pen nnd my voice, my energy and my zeal were devoted to mir glorious ami godlike cause. Nay, I had tho privilege, the glorious privilege, of standing solitary nud nlono on the floor of Coiigre.ss, in defence of your rights, (no longed applause.) I ask no reward, but the glory of toiling in a causo which has been the dream of my youth, the hope of niv manhood, and is now about to bo the reality of mv matured years Tho "Old Guard" in Pennsylvania feed that, as an old soldier my claims nro inferior to no man's in Philadelphia. Like one or two wliom i might liamc in that city, I have received letH rs from friends in three States, and and from two editors, asking to run up my name but I here assure you that under no circumstances will I consent to bo a candi date for the Presidency of the United States. (Laughter and prolonged cheers ) Pennsylvania, noblo old Pennsylvania will plant herself upon tho tho American plat form, nnd feel that it is glory enough for her lo have saved and perpetuated the Union. Thero she stands, and there she will re main, in her pride of strength. Her sister States appreciate her position nnd her power, and both will be exerted for the public weal. Her reward and her monuments shall here after bo found iu tho gratitude and affection of American hearts.

Th foregoing extracts from Mr. Spald ing's letter lire published, at this late dale, we mislaid tho manuscript when it first came to hand. merely ns mi act of justice to the writer, and not because we think the publication of them will effect tho least by way of convincing a single person in Or egon that Mr. Spalding has been slandered by the Corvallis Statesman.

We yesterduy had the pleasuro of an introduc tion lo Dr. Victor Hull Gillcr, Surgeon iu com mand of tho Mexican Marine. This genllemau ariived from San lllua in the Hamburg Steamer Kinilio. His position in tho Mexican army bring ing him into close connection with Ihe highest offi cials of State, enabled him to ascertain, w ith con siderable accuracy, the state of political affuirs at the latest dates.. The Doctur left Tepic for San lilas, and sailed at once for this city iu the above steamer, touching at Matullan. It appears that he lias received a letter from G'on. Vauslindcn, Inspector Jeneral tie Medico de Cutrpo Militar, to the effect that Santa Anna's race is about fin ished iu Mexico. Defeated on ull sides, his only object is now to reiu-li Mexico by the nearest road, and gel as fur as possible from the scene of his military disgraces. (Jen.

All operations flguiusl Alvarez huvc ceased. Tho only object appears lo bo to get back to Mexico. Our informant ulso stutes that Suiila Anna is fast failing hi bodily health, and begins to show tho effects of age and care. Just previous lo his departure from Tepic, news came ft "in tho cilv of (.'uliacan, in the State of Si naloa, that a formldulile insurrection had broken out there the whole population, civil and military, declaring for Alvarez. A demand for troops was tuude, and about 80!) dispatched ut once, which was all that Gen. IJIaneo could spam. This left him but 800 in command. Thu detachment left in the night, and it wus given out thut the object Was toubinin recruits. Capt. Garcia, attached to tieii. Blanco's stuff, and one of tho warmest adhe rents of Simla Anna, slated it ns his belief thai His Highness could not remain at the head of af fuirs another two months. Even Gen. Ulanco, a life-long partizan of Santa Anna, has no hopes for Ihe com. nuance of his muster in power. Another revolution wus brewing iu Cosala, an importunt town in Sinaloa.

Several weeks since Walker mi.led from San Francisco with about sixty men to join the IJboral party in the civil war in Nicaragua, having been pronVscd by Castellan, the leader of the liberals in that country, a grant of 52,000 acres of any of th unclaimed lands lying in Nicaragua, lu the event of success. Walker arrived at Healrjo after pas sage of 35 days, and after some negotiations with the revolutionist leaders, who are in possession of the northern portion of the republic, it Was agreed Unit he should proceed by sea to Sail Juan del Sur, and take up his march thence towards ltivas, and hold a position there until Munos, revolutionist loader, could join him with n largo force by land. Walker, with about ISO native troops added to his CO Americans, landed at n small roadstead about n day's march from Rivns. It had been represented to him that the force thero Waivcry small. There were, however; some "00 well appointed troops an der the command uf Gen. ltoska, who, falling up on Walker's little, phalanx, first put lo flight Iho 150 native auxiliaries, and then routed the Amer icans.
