The Union is, indeed, thc most preciouslegacy left to us by our ancestors, the mostprecious legacy that ever anv people enjoy-ed. The race of revolutionary patriotsand heroes has passed away. The sacreddeposit is committed to the men of thepresent generation, and I trust that everyman, individually, will make it a matter ofconscience and of pride to exert all justinfluence to perpetuate our glorious in-stitution*, and to preserve the Constitu-tion and Union for generations to come.[Applause.] I thank you all, gentlemen,

The Black Republicans and KnowNothings Strike Hands.

Political movements in various parts ofthe Union, wjthin tUe• j>ast year or tvvq,have demonstrated, beyond all reasonabledoubt, the fact tlrat'the Black Republi-cans are incorporating into their politicalcreed the proscriptivc tenets of KnowNotbingism..

Free suffrage for Negroes, and the dis-Tranchsement of White citizens, of foreignbirth, are, since bleeding Kansas is playedout, the only remaining planks of theBlack Republican platform.

I t will be recollected, by all, that theBlack Republicans of this State, in theirlast State Convention—that of 1858,—passed a resolution in-favor of requiringFree White citizens, of foreign birth, to re-main two years'in'the State, after beingnaturalised, before becoming voters ; ineffect, making a residence of seven yearsnecessary for that purpose—instead of five,as thc law now stands. This was a positive concession to the' Know Nothings,made to form a bond of union b.etwcenthem while treating for that union.

But what in New York is merely thecreed of a party, has, in Massachusetts, be-come the law of the land.

Massachusetts is the very hot-bed andcentre of Abolitionism and Black Republi-canism. She has cxcharig-d her code ofBlue Laws, under which she hung Quak-ers and witches, and persecuted even-body for opinion's sake, for a code ofBlack Laws, under which she receivesNegroes into fall communion, and1 de-prives Free White- persons, of foreign birth,of the sacred rights of citizenship.

Tho Constitution of Massachusetts has,until now—in this particular,—remainedunaltered since seven years before theadoption of the Constitution of thc UnitedStates. This Spring she has adopted, bypopular vote, an ainendnitnt to her Cons-titution, containing the following clauseto wi t : •

since the Banking House of Brown & Keep,of Buffalo, was robbed of n large amountof money, and that two clerks, Allen andBurns, were arrested on suspicion of hav-ng committed the crime. —Allen was triedast week and the jury disagreed. Yester-

day he was again put on trial, with a newury. When the Court opened, Mr. Sawin,

cou,nsel for Burns, addressed the Court,stating that his client withdrew the plea ofDot guilty and plead guilty to tho chargeof grand larceny. At the conclusion ofhis real arks ho handed the Judge a writ-ten statement by Burns to accompany theplea of guilty. Xhe statement was to theeffect that be was confident of acquittal ifput on his trial, that there was no evidenceof any moment against him; that he wasassured bj the most able counsel that therewas not the slightest fear or chance ofconviction on the testimony offered, butthat he could not sit in Court and see aninnocent man (Mr. Allen) convjeted of a-crime in which he was the actor, and ofwhieh he was the author. Several timesduring tbe trial of Allen he- was on thcpoint of coming forward to acknowledgebis guilt, and give his evidence in the case,which would have triumph an tly acquittedthe prisoner. Of course this confessionsets Allen at liberty.
