EDITOR TRUE WIG To-day was proud day
for the American party in old Wilson. sam" was
out in his might and strength. The Platform adop-
ted by tie Philadelphia Convention of the Ameri-
can Party was most enthusiastically ratified and en-
dorsed by large number Of Sans bows assembled
for that purpose TO- lay at the Court House in this
place. 1t was one Of the largest assemblies that
have ever seen brought together in the town. Men
were here from every part of the country. 1t was
great and glorious meeting. Mi. ANDREW j. DON
ELsoS was here and made one of his ablest and
happiest efforts. 1t Of the ablest and most
convincing speeches that we have yet heard in ad-
vocacy of the principles of the American party.
II did credit TO the man and honor to the occasion.
It was listened TO throughout with great attention
and frequently interrupted by loud and tremendous
applause He showed off Mr. Pierce in very
ridiculous manner by reading letter addressed by
Gen. Pierce to him in 1851, soon after he had taken
charge Of the Washington Union. He also met
the pitiful and malicious charge of the Nashville
Unioa that he was disappointed ofice.seeker, and
denounced it as false. The whole speech was a
clncher, and fell upon the anti-Americans like old
SCOTS bombs did into the castle of the enemy at
Vera Cruz II did execution which will tell on the
LIST Thursday in August next. understand it will
soon be published, when the people will have an
opportunity of reading it for themselves. As East
man thinks Maj Donelson has not feathers weight
Of influence in Tennessee, perhaps he would pub.
sh this speech an advertisement. II he will,
request him to copy il and the bill shall be prompt
" footed, even at the rates Of personal dduertiSe
raents-double price.
MAJ. Donelson was followed by JoHS F. HOUSE,
Esq., of GAINESVILLE, in one Of the most telling and
effective speeches that il has ever been our good
fortune to hear. 1t was glorious effort and kept
the crowd in perfect uproar House is a man Of
fine ability and makes splendid speech. This was
one Of his happiest efforts. While Sam has such
standard bearers, he need not fear. His principles
with such an advocate must and will triumph.
Gov. CAMPBELL also made an able and powerful
speech w. D. BuKroS, Esq, Democrat, j. G.
FRAzER of Carthage, Dr. J. T. GLEAyEs and Rob-
ERr HArToS, Esq, also made speeches, all of which
were characterized with ability, and which were
warmly received by the audience. Upon the whole
it was one of the most enthusiastic meetings We
have ever seen in this county Everything is right
in old Wilson. Depend upon that. The homes,
old Democrats in this county won't climb Andy's
ladder. They had rather take protection under
Sans barn. Gentry viii make handsome gain in
this county. Sans boys are at work and they are
working molly and calamity. Sam has two noble
champions in the persons of RoBERr HArFoS
and DR.. JSo. T. GLEAvEs, the candidates for the
Legislature in tbs county. They are both very
popular men and are two Of the finest orators in
the county. They will do service for the cause
which will count when the election day rolls around.
The Anti Americans here are all ehspfAllen. They
look like they were fixing TO attend the funeral Of
some old friend. think il would be advisable for
some of the pIayorm builders Of the concern that
johnson stands upon, to commence making collins or
constructing some kind Of eraf that win take
them up the waters Of Salt River. X. N. Samuel
