election of Harrison in 1910, each manifested
the widespread displeasure Of the people with
the then existing administrations; but on
neither one Of these occasions, were the deep
foundations Of the defeated party upturned.
Political power was transferred from one ri
val party to another; but the same distinc-
tive political organizations remained. But
where ao,O are the wing and democratic par
ties They exist mainly in the columns of
their yet surviving party papers, and in the
fading memories Of men. Fuit Iium Upon
the ruins Of these defunct organizations, two
other antagonist parties are being formed, the
more prominent and powerful of which is the
(" American party" This party is even now
full formed and perfect" Its antagonist
party was foreshadowed in the resolutions of
the 10th day of September last, adopted at a
mass meeting Of federal office holders, Of ma
turalised and apanaturalieed foreigners, and
of the alhereats Of Pope Plus the Ninth, con-
vened at Carusi's Saloon, in this city! Men Of
all creeds "aoithout regard 10 their antece-
dents" were earnestly invited to cooperate
with the above elements
An organization Of these elements was COM
menced as above mentioned, in this city, on the
10th Of September last, under the auspices Of
the administration, but SO far as we are in
formed, its success in the States Of Peansyloa-
mia, Ohio, Indiana, NeU York, Neao Jersey,
Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin,, has not
been Of the most cheering chayacterl Nor do
the first reports from Massachusetts augur ia
vorably in behalf Of its triumph in the "old
Bay Stated! Nevertheless the recognised ex-
ponent of the views of this new organization,
(the Washington Union,) does not despair Of
an ultimate triumph over the American partyl'
That paper predicts the final reunion Of the
former adherents Of the Democratic organiza-
tons, and seems eoen joyous amid circumstan-
ces which appal his less hopeful CONDUCTORS!
If the doctrine Of phrenology be true, the edi7
tor Of the Union must have a bump Of hope
with an altitude equal to the snow-capped An
des! We think the Union will be sadly disap-
pointed in its calculations of creating an admin
istration party which will succeed upon the
platform of the 10th Of September last On
the contrary, recent developments Of public
opinion leave as no room for doubt, that an i'm
mense majority of the people of this country
have demanded purely American organiza-
tion-that they desire the formation Of an
american platform Of principles elevation
of american statesmen to offices of trust and
honor, and that it is their fixed purpose to dis
card political hucksters from their service and
their confidence. This is our firm belief Need
we enquire why and wherefore it is, that the
masses of the people have abandoned their for
mer rival organizations? Is it for any other
reason than that both had become corrupt
that both had sought political power for selfish
purposes? that both had truckled to foreign in
fluences? that both had bent the knee to foreign
prelatesg that both had given patronage in ex-
change for foreign votes?
These reasons were sufficient. The masses
of our people are purely american in their SEN
timents jealous of foreign influence and viii
resist alike foreign dictation and foreign domi-
nation They have for years past seen immi-
grafton from abroad, casting its hundreds Of
thousands annually upon our shores, but they
were not alarmed whilst this influx did not
seriously affect the ballot-box. They have for
years past seen our aims houses crowded with
foreign paupers, yet in the plentitude Of their
humanity they forbore to complain. They have
for years past seen our penitentiaries literally
OVERLOOKING with foreign criminals, and although
their fears for the ultimate safety of society
were excited, they were silent But when they
saw our admirable systems Of public instruc-
ton openly threatened, they murmurcd. When
they saw American demagogues, leading thou
sands upon thousands Of uniformed imrni
grants TO the polls, to cast their votes, per
order, and decide our political contests, they
protested loudly against this base prostitution
Of the right Of suffrage But what availed
their protests When they saw the Nuncio
Of Pope Plus Nonus claiming that the pro-
perty and revenues Of that church which re-
cognises his supremacy, should be vested in
his appointed bishops, and the pdpat potoer
and influence thus made doubly potential here,
they were incensed And when they saw,
not only that preferences were given to for
eigners, over native-born Americans for Office,

citizens were publicly denounced, condemned,
and ostracised, under the present adnainistra-
tion, for daring to utter american sentiments
and casting american cotes they resolUed
upon rerolutioni
That revolution is in progress and no NOR.
tsl power can arrest it Before the sun shall
complete another annual circuit the "Anieri-
can party" win have acquired strength and
cohesion enabling it to control the presidential
election of 1856, and to give us national ad-
ministration, whose policy shall be american,
both at home and abroad, and under whose
auspices our laws. Of naturalization will be
changed or repealed--our public offices be pu.
riaed- -and public patronage be wisely and
periodically bestowed! God speed this reoo.
