The Administration Party Of New York.

In addition to their Free-soil anti American
resolutions, the Soft, or Piercs Democratic
party of New York, as if DESTROYS of sustaining
the so-called Democratic party of Louisiana in
its endorsement of Gen. Pierce and his Admin
istration, have put forth ticket, that propes
The entire sincerity Of those Northern friends
Of Southern rights, as Van Buren, proved him
self to be the Northern man with Southern
principles, The New York Evening Post-an

in 184s.
Hawley flor Canal COMMISSIONER was Csss man,
turned Soft in 1853 and Hudoo Know Nothing in 1854
Last summer he was an officer OF an anti-Nebraska
meeting.

soiler in 1913.
Thurston flor State Treasurer) Van Buren, Free
Soiler in lS4S.
Tilden, lfor Attorney asneral) Van Buren, Free
Soiler in 1913
Agan, flor State Ipspector) was Van Buren, Free
soiler in 1913, and Jerry rescuer in 1860,
Will the anti American papers tell US how
they like their associates Where is the ma
tionality Of the self-named Democratic party,
except upon the basis Of Free-soil Van Bu-
renism?
The Natchez Courier very pertinently asks /:
How did this party get into power-who prescribed and
excluded from Office able and competent men, to make
for these enemies of the South? It is notorious
that it that very Administration lately endorsed by
the ofnce-holders convention at jackson.
We repeat, where is the nationality of the So
styled democratic party? Echo answers
phere? Its nationality has been dead and bu-
ried for years, and there ID, at this moment, no
party in the United States having the smallest
claim to nationality except the American party.

IMMIGRATION AND ITS CON

Headed as above, q very powerful article ap.
pears in our columns this morning, to which we
direct the attention OF our readers. The argu-
ments used; the facts presented; and the Stats
tics brought forward TO sustain and enforce
those arguments and facts, comp lied from the
most reliable sources, all 60 to prove the immi-
nent necessity that existed for the organization
Of the American party and tho assertion Of
American principles. =..-... .-.. .s
The organisation did not come moment too
soon. We were rapidly losing our character
as nation-were becoming denationalized in
many essential respects-were losing our indi-
yiduality as people-and the ballot box, the
sacred palladium Of our liberties, was begin
ming to be an engine Of perjury and corruption,
instead Of an ark of patriotism and safety.
However, the evil is working it's own cure-in
fact, it devised It's own remedy and the publ
cation of such articles as those to which we
have referred cannot do otherwise than advance
immensely the progress of the patriotic work of
reform snd regeneration. .--.y w. .
