The Weekly Organ to Clubs.
In consequence OF the liberal patronage which has
been extended 10 the Aiasrioaa Organ, by its friends
throughout the Union, and In order to promote TO
the fullest extent the growth Of American principles
the propretors will hereafter furnish IL at 81 year
per copy, 10 all clubs Of one hundred or more. At
this low rate Of subscription, they confident Of
receiving large accession of subscribers TO their
present list which reaches ~ 600 copies and Of
extending, in corresponding ratio, the advance
mont Of American principles in every section of the
country
An inducement is, by this arrangement offered to
newspaper agents. booksellers stationers and others,
TO act as agents for the american Organ and to the
present notice accordingly invite their attention.
"Thd outh and Its Champions
Under this head, the Montgomery (Ala)
Advertiser and Gazette, Of Saturday last, in
dulges in some denunciations Of the course of
the Editor Of the Organ, at the National
Council, held at Philadelphia few weeks
since, which that press doubtless regarded as
quite severe, but which we regard as entirely
harmless. We hope at least to survive them !
tits so common for presses opposed to us in
politics, to pour out their phials Of wrath
their slanderous imputations and their wilful
misrepresentation Of our course, that we have
almost ceased to notice them, and would not
do so now, except to ask the Advertiser and
Gazette to at least have the manliaess to pub
fish the resolution, for which, il says, the
whole Southern press has dashed us, and
which that press also SO strongly condemns
fit be true, as tho Advertiser and Gazette
states, that the whole Southern press has
dashed us, for the proposition made at Phila-
delphia, it is equally true, that we have heard
of it non for the first time! We have heard
of but one press, anywhere, advocating Ameri-
can doctrines, which has expressed tho slight
est opposition to our proposition, and We do
know of many editors and public men at the
South, who regard our proposition as a fit and
proper one. These presses at the South who
have Tin their estimation) "lashsd us, are
all opposed to the platform adopted by the
National Council, and it is their trade--their
calling, their recognised duty, to the Forney
and Pierce party, to oppose everything which
emanates from any member of the American
party.
But Of what importance is it non to discuss
resolutions offered in the National Council, and
not acted upons As delegate to the Nation
al Council we voted for, and as the Editor Of
this press we have published, endorsed, and
advocated the platform Of our party, adopted
at Philadelphia. We stand upon that platform,
and we shall stand there whilst the platform
itself stands. Our individual crime is, that as
a delegate, we sought to harmonic our whole
party. Those presses who are opposed to us
and to our principles, desired no such harmo-
ny in our ranks. They seek to divide and
conquer US. How far it is good policy in our
American friends to discuss the proposition
now referred to, themselves must judge. W.
We are neither ashamed of the proposition
we made, nor afraid to discuss lt--but we do
not regard il as our duty to refer to it, except
in repelling assaults upon US. The Council at
Philadelphia established platform Of princi-
pies for the American party, by a large major
ity, and we esteem it obligatory upon those
who maintain their former relations to the
National Organization. We trust II win ere
long receive the sanction Of our party through
ought the country and, that agitation Of the
hitherto designating and distracting question
Of slavery will cease. We must unite, North,
South, East and West in opposition to the
elements Of Foreignism and Romanism if we
Danish these influences from the councils of
the country.
