marty and defeated it, II has manifested its
strength and it's determination to stand by the

of The North are made secondary TO the grent
interests of the whole nation. The New York
Tribune, the great advocate Of Abohtionisln, the
right bower of the sectional Republican party,
thus speaks Of the composition of the American
party:
Whatever may be the fact elsewhere. Pro

trusting thereby TO accomplish the downfall of
the man they most envy and bate.
The Anti american party of the South is wont
to point to the position of the Ycw York Hard
Shell Democrats as an evidence of the soundness
Of their party upon the subject of slavery. Here
we have an explanation of the weakness of this
conservative faction Of the Democratic party,
Il & Al
conservatism Of the American party.
Seward is the head and front Of the abolition
organization. His peculiar organ places the
union of the conservative Wings and Democrats
upon the ground of hatred TO this great leader Of
Aboltionsm, but the fact is conceded that the
American party, which has recently demonstra-
ted its ability TO overcome all opposition in New
York and Massachusetts,. is composed Of nation

trate themselves bef re- the Juggernaut OF Abol
itionism. and sacrifice oil the greatest interests
of the country. the Constitution, and the Union
itself to the overweening ambition OF WIN. Ii.
Seward and his coterie. Of Freesoi demagogucs.
No better evidence should be needed of the
pure nationality Of the American party than the
acknowledgment of the leading organ of section
al Repubcanism that il is the great opponent of
their sectional. Abolition, dogmas.
We invite attention TO the following card Of
the President of the American State Council, in
National Convention;
To the American Party Of Virginia.
In conformity with resolution of the Nation
al Council, Congressional District Convention
Of the party is required to be held in each dis.
trict of the State, for the purpose Of appointing
one delegate to represent said district in the Ma
fional Convention, to be held in the city of Phil
adephia on the 22nd of February. 1856, for the
nomination of candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency Of the United States.
You will therefore appoint delegates to repre-
sent you in your respective Congressional Dis
,trict Conventions, To b. held in such places as
you may agree upon, before Monday, the
9TH January. 1885, for the appointment of such
delegate TO represent said district in the Phla-
delphia Nominating Convention.
Yours. respectfully.
GEO. w. MOORE, President.
