tion?'' He replied, "the Huckster wo men are selling cabbage and onions below, and the Politicians are selling the Republic above.' ''* The remark was true of the last Convention, and will be true of the next. I can see no hope either for the purity of the Gov ernment, or for security against Slave ry agitation save in the American par ty. I do not pretend that we are alto gether free from the same taint which afflicts every other party at the North, but the fundamental principles of our creed--the obligations which every member takes to look to the Constitu- tion as supreme, affords guarantee which is wanting elsewhere. And if the patriot can look to the future at all with hope, that hope must be found- ed on the successs of American princi- ples.
 The length of this letter admonishes me that 1t is time to close. But 1 am not yet done. I shall address you again as soon as health, and freedom from other occupations will permit.
 Very Respectfully,

California all Right.

Returns from the California elections show complete AMERICAN TRIUMPH JOHNSON { (American) was elected over his opponent, Bigler, Anti, by a ma ,jority of 4000 votes. American ma- jority nthe Legislature, on joint ballot, is Mirty-one!
 The Memphis Appeal, a bitter anti American paper, speaking of this result, says:
 ''There is in that State some apology for Native American party. By the admission of the State every inhabtant was recognized as a citizen and thousands have since flocked there from all parts of the world, whose hab- its and conduct have rendered them obnoxious to the native citizens, It is to these facts we must look for the reasons of our defeat. The Democracy made a good race, but they were unable to succeed with such load of Chi nese, Mexicans and South Americans"
 An honest admission, which proves that where native Americans can wit ness the vice, crime, and debauchery which foreigners bring with them tc our shores, they will become aroused to sense of danger to the country from such population.

E65- We were not present during ths whole of the discussion between Nessrs Rice and Hindman, on Thursday last. A friend who was, however, has fur. nished us with the subjoined notice it:
 HoS. W. D, RICE AND Cor. Y. c. lTyxn. IMAN.-The political questions of the day were discussed by those gentlemen. at the Court. house, in Helena, on the 18th.
 Mir. Rice well sustained lis high ropu. tation as an able, eloquent and ingenious de. batter. The American party has in him an advocate it may well be proud of, and the an. ties, in Phillips, an opponent who (ir he take, not scalps lG mode Hindman) exposes and denounces their northern abolition alliance, their foreign affections and tendencies, and Roman Catholic procIivities.
 Of Col. Hindman, it is but justice to say he handles bad cause with considerable jn.. Igenuity; but so long as he holds to his preseD. position in opposition to American party, he can but expect that his great eXertions will be but pignlv efforts in staying the spread of American doctrines and principles

E~ A Convention of New York "Softs" alias the Van Buren party, which the Star last week asserted was entitled to "full Democratic fellow. ship" recently adopted the following Resolutions:
 Reso7red, That we regard the organization of bands of armed borderors and their intru. sion into the Territory of Kansas, not as bona fde ,ettlers. but for the forci5le subycrson of the rights ofits legal electors, not only as vio. lation of the peace of the Union and therights of the community assaiied, but as distinctly sub. versive of the intent of Congress, as declared i1 the bill Iorganizing the said Territories. to leave the people perfectly free .to Eo,'r e,,1 -l-.s, tHtf own GoiheStic institutions m their 0W1 way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States; and that all the power of tLa Federal and Territorial Governments should be eXertcd to redress these outrages and to the rights of the people thereof.
 ReSOlcet, That while the Democracy Of this State will faithfully adhere to all the com. promises of the Constitution and maintain all the reserved rights Of the States, they deem this an appropriate occasion to decldJe and repeat thelr fired Hostility to tie eItenyicn Qf stdCefy into free territory.

Col. CLEMENS SECOND LETTER.

Col. CLEMENS SECOND LETTER. We commend this very able document to the reader. Its great length pre- cludes any comment,-indee none is necessary. Its sound, National Amer icap views, and their patriotic expres- sion, will meet with hearty response from every one who loves his own coun- trymen better than the foreigner and alien, who cannot possibly feel that de- gree of pride and veneration for this country and its institutions as Ameri- ca's own native born sons.

JAS. T. CRARY, ESQ. We notice by the last Star that this gentleman has for the present taken charge of the ed itorial department of that paper. Mir. c. is a gentleman of considerable abil- ity, a ready writer, and has had some previous experience in the newspaper business,-and only needs being con- verted to Americanism to be a frstrate clever fellow, which we will endeavor to accomplish.

THIs PApER.-No more conclusive evidence could be adduced that the Shield is doing some service for the the American cause than the fact that it is made the particular object of abuse by the orators of the opposition. In nearly all of their speeches it has a large share of attention. The speech of NIr. Palmer, in St. Francis county, abounded in violent assaults upon the Shield. And Col. Hindman, in the discussion between himself and MT. Rice, on Thursday last, took particular pains to anathematize it. Those vio- lent denunciations which have been so lavishly heaped upon it are the best proof that it exerts some influence in favor of American principles, and in- stead of injuring the paper, or destroy ing it's usefulness, ,stronglyrecommends 1 it to Americans as an ardent exponent of their views.
 In his attack upon this paper, Col. Hindman made reference to what we had said about the Pennsylvania cleo tions. Now we will show to every un- biased mind that the triumph of the democrats in Pennsylvania, which the Star crows so loudly over, was far from being q triumph of ''National Democracy if such thing now exists, because the Convention which nomina- ted the candidate who was elected by 20 GOO maiar-ihx- -aS t1,a-h rr.r1,A,, -+------5 REJECTED by vote of 89 to 19, series ofresolutions, the most important of which were in substance as follows:
 f. A denial of the right of the Federal Government to alter or direct the vested rights of the States, or of the people of one State ito interfere iG the domestic and social rela- tions of another"
 }. That the Constitution gives the Gov ernment no power over the subject of Negro Slavery" but leaves it ito the State in which it does now, or may hereafter exist: and that any interference with it by the peo- pie of the non-slaveholding States is either an open violation of the Constitution or a 'fraud upon it."
 8. "That every new State ought to be ad l mitted into the Union with such constitu- ton as majority of the citizens thereof shall adopt, provided there is nothing therein con- ticting with the Constitution of the United | States, and whether such State shall hare adopted or rgected slorery, is not c matter Qf | inquirp by tbe General Gorernment.
 g. That the Kansas and Nebraska bill was not only constitutional, but expedient and proper, and that we do hereby endorse and GPDrore the same"
 10. '.That we are opposed to any change in our State Constitution, coatcrring upon l Negroes the riglt of sofr0ge."
 Comment is entirely unnecessary.

HEALTH OF HELENA.-Notwithstan- ding few persons have died of yellow fever in our town the present fall, we believe we can now say, with perfect propriety, that no village on the Mis- sissippi or it's tributaries, can boast of more general good health than Helena.
 Napoleon, in this State, has, we are pained to say, suffered, and is still suf- fering, terribly from the ravages of yellow fever. We learn that about 40 deaths have occurred in that place, which is only about one- third the size of Helena. Only six deaths, we be- lieye, occurred in or near Helena.
Southern shield., 1855-10-20
Comment is entirely unnecessary

Our know nothing friends of Phillips, true to their order, are still trying to wipe out the old republican andmarks that have made ours the proudest nation in the world. They contemplate a meeting at Esq. Sherrod's, on the twenty fifth instant.
 Why should the Star apply such lan- guage to the American party,-the honor, integrity, and patriotism of which no modern democrat dare ques- tion. Has not the Democratic Asso- citation held its meetings in almost ev- cry Township in the county, while the Americans have had but one; yet for them to hold a second meeting is to ''try to wipe out old republican land marks"
 Anti-Americans may hold meeting after meeting, traduce and abuse the American party, and all is right; but for us to dare assert our rights as American born citizens-to declare publicly our principles to the people-to defend ourselves against the vile cal umnies with which we as party have been charged is to "try to aOipe out oM republican hndmarhs"t This is the version of American rights and American liberty, by that party which now arrogates to itself the name of Democratic. God grant that we may ever be saved from such republican, ism and such democracy.

sag-Will our amiable cotemporary of the Star tell us what he means by the appellatiOn of "high priest" ir reference to the American par ty. The Americans want no priests, high or low; they arc American free men in the broadest sense of the term, and acknowledge no dictator, and need not be told that they "have no one to forbid the free exercise of Mear will. 5

THAT PROPOSITION"

MR. EDIToR:-I see by the Star of Thurs day that it has at last deigned to notice my Proposition. The editor thinks "such cor. Irespondence would be likely to prove inter. Iminable, and as too often happens, might consist alone of personal invectivc, to tho great discredit of the doughty champions and the disgust of the public" Ithank the edit or for his interest in the preservation of my Icredit, but, that he may entertain no further fears on this score, l now most respectfully notify him hat in case the proposed discussion shoud be entered into, l shall have facts enough ito deal in without stopping to personalities; las to what the Democratic champion, would be constrained to do, in order to make show ofopposition to American doctrines, I suppose the editor speaks knogngly when he saysi: might consist alone of personal invectiye.'

1. SLAVERY QUESTION.


 Notwithstanding that we consider slavery to be political and moral cancer; that viii by-and-by undermine all republicanism. we deem its sudden abolition neither nossible nor advisable. But we, as republicans and men demand that the further extension of slavery be not constantly urged, whilst not q sincie step IS taken for it's .extermnation da0 mand that at length real proofs be given of inc good will so often boasted of to remove inc evil; that, in particular, slavery be excluded from all new territories indiscriminatelv and forever, which measure Congress is comnletn. ly entitled to pass according to the Constitn- ton; we demand this the more as a rennhli- can constitution is guarantied to every new State, and slavery in truth cannot be consid- cred a republican element or requisite. We further demand that all and every one of the laws indirectly transporting the principle and the influence of slavery in and upon free States, namely: the fugitive slave law, shall be repealed as demoralizing the Constitution: we finally demand, that, in all national af- fairs. the principle of liberty shall be strictly maintained. and even in the several States it be more and more realized by the gradual ex- termination of slavery.

THE HEALTH GF BATON RoUGE.-
Within the past few days, there has
been much sickness in this city, anc
we regret to say, that the type OF fes
yer, is of the character of the usua
epidemic Of this season Ii requires
prompt attention, and when it occurs
among The strangers and the pocrel
class Of our fellow citizens, we fea,
the parties do not have that care
which is imperitivss demanded, te
'cheok the tendency 5f the disease, t'
assume the form Of an epidemic
However, the noble bands of brothers
and fellows, the Masons and the Odd
Fellows, attend promptly to all cases,
that have fraternal claims upon them
and as usual, we meet many of our
benevolent fellow citizens of both sexes
anxious to do all they can, by individ-
ual efforts, to make the afflicted COM
Portable and to provide attention for
them. ~
Cast our eye where We will just
now, tlSre is much disease and death ;
and tho restless disposition of men, to
move from point to point, and change
their habits, argues no good for the
future. The fever seems to be per-
minent institution-an annual visitor,
that comes among us to leave the foot
prints Of desolation.
Such persons as are comfortably sit
uated out of town, should remain
where they are i; and such as are not
acclimated should remove from the
influence of the excitement, now about
to come I pom us. We shall publish
daily the deaths that take place within
the limits of the city, and (wbero it is
well known, state the cause.
