1t is al folly to suppose that Americans and
Republicans can ever act together. They are
too wide apart on great fundamental principles
10 admit hope of their coalescing. When
the leaders of the Republican movement deci-
ded upon building up a great Northern party,
with no broader foundations than geographical
lives, as intelligent men they must have calcu-
lated that their success would be but the pre-
cursor of the dissolution of the Union To ar.
ray the North and South against each other
appealing to sectional jealousies and stimula-
ting sectional hates-leaving everything to be
decided by the power of maiorities instead OF
constitutional arbitrament-is TO pave the way
for the destruction of this great Coniederacy.
Such a result would be inevitable; and it was
the madness OF fanaticism, or the deliberate
invention OF : traItorous ambition, which sug-
gested the scheme. With such men no real
American can ever act. No man who loves
the Union, who would not barter its safety for
the accomplishment Of selfish purposes, will
follow such leadership. There are thousands
and tens OF thousands who acted with these
false Republicans, with whom the American
party can fraternize. Many of them already
see the hypocrisy which deceived and the false
hood which betrayed them, and many more will
make the same discovery. With these the
American party will cheerfully act. To all
such, il extends the hand of cordial and ear.
nest fellowship. But with the Republican lead
srs 1t can and will make no compromise. 1t
does not invite their aid, and it defes their
power.
The corruptionists, who for the sake of spoils
would bresk down the Constitution, destroy all
kindly regards between different sections of the
Dnion--who would, TO accomplish selfish and
traitorous ambition, destroy this Confederacy of
States, and break the back of this great Repub-
ho-must look TO themselves. Between them
and the American party there is a warfare
which must be fought out to the bitter end.
No terms but those OF defiance can ever exist
between them, and the weakest must 90 to
tie wall The very name Of the American
party prohibits all truce. 1t implies love for
that Union which these Republican leaders
would destroy; it implies a nationality which
they would crush out it implies fraternity OF
feeling between all the people of all the States
which they would obliterate. These differences
ere too fundamental to be reconciled ; and the
American party, therefore, can and will pro
pose nothing TO the Republican leaders - but
- Ear to the knife or al unconditional sur
render of purposes SO fatal to the repose and
so dangerous to the perpetuity Of the Union.

REPUBLICANIsM, AND ONLY THAT

Prom the Portage 20 Democrat. Qate n .ympathize
with the Know Nothing Orderly
Distract the North BY extraneous questions
Divide and conquer! That is the policy, and
too successful have they been in this policy
and hence the reason why there has never
been a North
And how much longer shall these things be-
How much longer shall trODhearted Anti-Sla
very men balk their own efforts, by dividing up
into warning factions among themselves.
The resolute William Lloyd Garrison leads
of, On a favorit: theory, a segment of the An
ti-Slagery men and women OF the North. The
grest-hearted Gerrit Smith, with equal devotion
10 favorite theory, leads off another segment.
Know Nothingism steps in as another disturb
ing element The conservative attachment to
old party names and issues, which have really
passed into history, hold thousands of others
in check, and thus divide and weaken Northern
action.
While al this is going on, great masses of
the people, bursting ssunder old party ties, rush
together in harmonious action, and inaugurate
the Republican party of Freedom, and with
clear, discerning eve, seize upon the true, the
practical issue, marshal themselves upon the
potent principle of .Slacery nOnerfension, lay
aside minor considerations and side issues, and
thus strike terror, for the first time, into the
despo,ic South.
With the Republican party rests, at this mo-
ment, the hopes of the friends of Freedom in
these States. No other organization, either
political or moral, is freighted with such great
and practical results this, standing upon its
great leading idea, as it does, of .S,aUery non
extension.
We have hastily thrown out these thoughts,
without celebrating them, as suggestions care
fully 10 be weighed and considered by thinking,
careful, practical, patriotic men.
Let al study union and harmony of action.
A great Presidential contest is soon to open
upon US. a Republican President ought to be
elected, and can be, triumphantly, if every true
hearted Northern freeman, the friends of Lib
erty and the enemies of Slaverys despotic rule,
viii cordially and tremendously unite in the
practical effort, which is the spring of life and
energy to the great and growing Republican
party of Freedom.

party, than portion of our German citizens.
In the late contest in this State, when so great
efforts were put forth to induce them to 90 for
Medill, we had no more faithful and true friends
than these Germans. We find them in other
States also placing themselves on the side of
Freedom. In Wisconsin, the following German
papers are supporting the Republican party,
viz: Neicsbode, Milwaukee COrsair, Maritowoc
Democrat, and South City Pioneer.
By the following, from the Buffalo Express,
their position in New York may be seen:
"German Recruits for FreedOm.-The Buff
falo Telegraph and the Albany Freie Bldtter
both come out in support of the Republican
platform, and display the names of the Repub
ican candidates at the head of their columns
Both are influential and well-known journals.
"The Pioneer, published in New York city,
and edited by Carl Heinzen, a gentleman of
brilliant attainments and German patriot of
l848, is unquali6edly in favor of the principles
and candidates of the Republican party, and is
doing good service.
=" The Abend Zeitung, in New York city, ap-
proves heartily of the Republican principles,
and favors the candidates who do not come in
conflict with the prohibitory law.
" There is but one German paper in this
State, that we know Of that has hoisted the Soft
ticket at its masthead, and that is the Demo
krat of this city, edited by DIR. Brunck, Re-
publican by profession, but a Soft in practice"
In Illinois, their position is the same. The
Chicago Tribune gives on account of Repub-
lican meeting of 1900 Germans in that city,
which was addressed by Mr.. Hassaurek, editor
of the Cincinnati Hochodchter. The Tribune
speaks of the meeting as being very enthusiast
tic; and says that Mr.. Hassaurek spoke with
great power, and was received with great ap-
plause. By the way, Mr.. Hassaurek is one of
the ablest speakers and writer's among the Ger
mans. We have heard him address German
audiences on several occasions, and we have
never heard speaker more completely enchain
the attention of his audience, or draw forth
greater demonstrations of applause. Mr.. Has
saurek is inveterately opposed to old hunkerism,
and will do great work in fighting the battles
of Freedom. His paper, the HocA,odchter, has a
circulation of 5000, scattered all over the West
ern States. He has a large number of subscr
bers in Kentucky and Missouri. K.

this Order cannot affect unfavorably to Free
dom single Northern State. 1t may possibly
take some of the more liberal Southern States
but further than this, on the platform and wi b
the candidate the Order, as a National party,
will be compelled to adopt, it can accomplish
nothing.
Let it, then, say we, go it alone by all means:
No man can plead ignorance of what the real
and paramount issues are before the country,
therefore, those only who are really opposed to
US will be led off on any side or unimportant
issue, and they may as well take the dark-lsn-
tern tack as any other. We shall be exceed
ingly glad in future contests, not to have this
scarecrow to carry longer on our shoulders.

FUTURE POLICY OF THE AMERICAN PARTY

From tie Savannah Republican, know Nothing
The Federal Union, in commenting upon a
late article of the Republican upon the above
text, propounds certain question, with which
it evidently thinks to puzzle us.
We answer, then, distinctly, that should the
Cincinnati Convention refuse admission to their
deliberations Free-Soilers and Anti Nebraska

estly, in support Of the principle of non-inter-
vention, Its Northern members vote for it, and

TO office, and the nominee himself be man
whose past history will justify confidence in his
fidelity TO that principle, and his ability to ad-
minister the Government; we say, if these con-
ditions be complied with, the Southern men

The Meriden Conn Transcript says:
q The fact Is, and it is fact which recent
elections have most eloquently vindicated-a
fact, moreover, which its opponents, whether
as Republicans or as Democrats, must meet
that there are vital and important principles
incorporated in the platform of the American
party. If these principles are indiferently re-
garded by the Republican party, let it not be
supposed that they are similarly regarded by
the American party. The American party
cherishes them as living and momentous issues,
deeply concerning the political, social, and
moral welfare of our country; and so far, at
least, as this State is concerned, we believe it
Intends 10 stand by and defend them now and
always. Is 1t not unreasonable, then, for the
Republican party to ask Americans to give up
their principles, and unite with them? Certain

SLAVERY FIRST, AND ALL THE TINE.
From the Richmond IVA VIII


II Southern mems insisting upon the recor-
milton and observance by the North of the 18th
section of the Philadelphia platform shall =" re-
cult in destroying the American party or,
what perhaps is of more serious consequence,
shall result in even depriving tho Washington
Organ of the public printing-why, then, the
American party will have to be destroyed, and
the American Organ will have TO do without
the public printing. We, for one, prefer see
ing the American party destroyed, and the
Washington Organ without the printing, to
seeing any Southern member Of the American
party yielding jot or title to the fanaticism
of the fusionists, or the hungry propensities of
the Organ We side with the South, its inter
ests, its honor, and its destiny, and, in SO do
ing, if it needs must be, viii leave the Ameri-
can party to die, and even the Organ itself to
starve, without solitary emotion Of regret at
the fate of either.
But We have yet no fears. We believe the
American party viii continue to live and con.
tinue to vindicste its nationality, by faithful
adherence to the Philadelphia platform, whether
the Organ shall succeed in getting the public
printing or not.

we shall advise our party in Georgia to aban

neither party should bring out candidate I'M
