TuE ADDRESS. Oar readers have seen by
The Address of the American Republican Con-
vention of this city, published in our paper yes
terday, that there is nothing proscriptlve or IN
tolerant in the principles Of the party-nothing
that is inconsistent with the purest patriotism.
The American Republicans seek to correct
abuses which are universally admitted to exist,
and to give more wholesome tone to public
sentiment. They have enlisted under banner
upon which is inscribed sour Country" and
their efforts will be directed to preserve that
country from the dangers by which it is beset.
They believe that public Offices were created
for the public benefit, and not to be bestowed,
without regard to merit, upon proiligate politi-
clans as a reward for partzan services
Every grievance set forth in the Address can
be proved to exist; and such being the case, no
man who possesses genuine American feelings
and principles will deny, that remedy is re-
quired. The organization of the American
Republicans of this city has this object in view;
and they hope to have the cooperation Of all
citizens, whether native or adopted, in their la
Dors for this desirable end. They do not seek
the Qualification of their own personal ambition
or interest, but the exaltaton of their country
BY the correction Of abuses.
1t afford; us pleasure to see that many of the
leading journals of the country, though not
connected with the American Republican par
~, yet speak in the most favorable terms Of It's
principles and of its prospects. II is a crafty
ing indication, as it shews the existence of pa
t!iotic feeling and desire to have the institu-
tions Of the country preserved free from cor
rupting influences. Among these journals is
ehe New York Sum- Ga neutral paper.) With
Praseworthy Independence the editor of that
print las done justice to the American Repub-
lcan Mayor and Councilmen of New York, and
exhibited to its readers the extraordinary dimi-
mutton of expenditures which has been effected
under their administration. In respect to the
progress and prospects OF the party the Sun,
IN recent number says-"1he progress of
the American Republican party III the West
and Southwest is evolving Lew and important
issues in governmental policy among the inha-
bitants OF the great valley of the Missssippi-
In Western Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Louisiana
the party is represented by many of the ablest
editors in the Union. Almost every city ofany
note has one or more daily papers advocating
American Republcanlsm and discussing the
merits Of tile questions brought forward by this
new party. The movements of the abolition
party, as an organization distinct from the two
great parties of Wings and Democrats, never
attained any thing like the power and influence
now, at the command of the American Repub-
icans. The latter at this moment hold the
balance OF power in one third of the States, and
will command the balance of power between
both the old parties in the contest for the Pre-
sdency in ls4S. The great and absorbing ques-
lion now is, what principle will American Re-
pub!icaniSm adopt in National and State affairs;
At present some Of its leaders appear inclined
70 Conservatism, but there is powerful move
inent among the rank and file in favor of pro-
gress. 1t is impossible to smother the progress
sive movement in this county, yet whatever
may be the result the struggle between pro-
gress and conservatism in the American Repub-
lean party, it is hardly possible that it can les
sen the great influence which that party APP
pears destined to exert upon our elections dur
ing the next three years"
