The New Party-The Revolution I'm
PrOSDect,

and the returns have been received from the va
rous parts OF the State, we perceive that the new
party, whose unexpected success astonshed every
body again in the field, organized at all points,
and resoute in their determination TO commence
an agitation which may, and indeed must, il pro-
perly conducted, terminate in polite al revolution
throughout the broad Union. We find the follow
ing announcements for meeting of the Committee
on this evening, and one Of the Association on
Wednesday next
90 Aua.j'urned ms.tng of the American Republic

Thus far, we'll. The American Republicans as
sumo very great responsibility, and propose
MEASURE that will command the attention, not only
of this city, but OF he whole country. If they con-
duct their cause with ffmness, prudence and dis
cretion-if they proceed with a uniform and en-
ghtened regard to the present state of the country,
if they be willing to avail themselves OF the very
reasonable disgust at present entertained by the
great mass OF the people, for both political parties,
and turn it into proper direction they have now
an opportunity of commencing and conducting to
successful termination, agitation which will pro-
duce the happest revolution that took place
in any couatry. II is very evident from the last
election 10 this State, that there never better
opportunity to commence com plete moral and po-
ltcal revolution than that presented at the present
moment. So disguised have the people become
with both parties-the corruption of both parties
ness and folly of both parties that nearly onethird,
or probably upwards of one hundred and fifty thou.
sand voters kept aoof from the polls at the late cleo
ton. Throughout the whole State this
sentiment OF disgust prevailed to an extent
well calculated to alarm unprincipled partl-
sans of both factions, but it had not proceeded
so far as to construct any new organizaton-toe EN-.
body itsef-as we have seen in this city. Here,
from the density Of the population, and the conse-
quent rapidly with which thought circulates, and
mind communicates with mind, the same feeling
Of disgust has been able in few months to orga
nize new party, which has astonshed both the old
rotten factions and erected itself into distinct and
prominent existence with constituency of nearly
ten thousand, at the very first blow. If this great
association ofndepen dent electors will proceed with
the same unity OF purpose-the same moral design
the same patriotic feelings, which have thus far
characterized them, there cannot be doubt but
they will effect revolution, aud produce results
whose inf fence for good will be felt throughout
many generations
As with all great movements, 80 with this-every
things depends the character of the first measures
adopted-the general line of policy f-st pursued -
The American Republicans have called meeting
OF the General Committee tonight, and meeting
OF the General Associa alton on the evening of
Wednesday. What do these bodies-the repren
sentatlves of the great mass-intepd to do =? What
are their measures ?-their policy? What is the ma.
ture Of the agitation they intend to organize, and
how do they design to conduct it
In the first place, we advise the American Repub-
hcans to open the doors of their commit ee rooms
and associations, to the representatives of the press
We shall send our reporters TO the meetings both of
the committee and The association. with written re-
quests for ad mission, for the purpose of reporting
their proceedings and debates, and thus presenting
their views, principles and measures in the most all.
thentic form to the people Of the Union II must be
very evident to the American Republicans that some
new plan OF action, adapted to the present state of
ciety must be adopted, If they expect to succeed in
revolutionzing the country. The secrecy-the
darkness-the solemn concealment which have eff.
fecualy hid all the proceedings of the old factions,
have contributed more, perhaps, than any other
cause TO create that universal and uncomfortable
feeling OF disgust which now animates the people.
Aud it has been in these secret conclaves-these
hole-and-corner meetings Of committees, and con-
ventions, that the i'm morality, the corruption,
the gross fraud upon the public at large, have
had their birthplace. These have been the
sources Of those pollutng streams which have
spread all the vices of unprincpled and selfish
parz anship over the whole land, and we'll nish
threatened the very existence of our institutions.
Let the Am rcsn Republicans acl the very opposite
OF all this. Let all their proceedings be as open az
day. Letthe sun shine upon all their doings Let
the press have free access to all their meetings so
that it may promugate their views and move.
ments from one extremity of the Union to the
other.
The advantage of adopting such course is very
apparent, if we look around US 10 other countries
That extraordinary movement , which has united The
people OF Ireland, as one man, against the British
government, was produced much by the mode Of
tactics adopted by the Repeal Association of Dub
lin, by any other 1t wisely kept, as it
were, open house Its proceedings were constantly
kept before the world. Every week the association
met, and reporters attended from the Dublin
and London newspapers. the association thus
spoke 10 the whole country. Public attention was
never permitted to fig, and in this way general
central organization was effected, to which all the
provincial movements were auxiliary, and from
which they were constantly receiving stimulus to
increased activity. The same causes will produce
the same results this side OF the water. Secresy
in great political movements, nova days, is the
bane OF all purity and success Let the American
Republican party 10 this city meet PERIODICALLY

ties. as exhibited in Congress, in the State Legis-
