FRIDAY MORNING, o'f"HEH D.
nm rrI.E AND ONLY NATIONAL PARTY
Tho Savannah Georgian publishes the following 'n-
,crcstin letter from most respectable citizen OF The
>,,,h who WAS n Wing, but has joined the
no,,or,ucv. under the strong light thrown upon the
n,,;,ical field BY his personal experience in Alassa-
chuse,;s:
Ibavc been n constant reader Of your city papers

There is one thing which puzzles me unn L,gly, aud
that s to FINu THE CAUSE fnr much and excited
| IN antagonism between the Democratic party of the
South and the American purity. Here, at the Nurlh
il is clear enough The simple secret lS. that the De-
nocratic party here has planted itself NATIONAL
basis looks to the Constitution, and resolved 10 lave
up to its provisions, whether those provisions are
more favorable to one section Of the lnion than ano
ther, otherwise. The national Democratic party
can see no promise of peace safety, pcrpetuiiy To
Institutions except it be found III conscientious
and persistent adherence TO the Constitution, III whole
and i'll part, in spirit well ms in letter All other
parties at the North! i'll feet in ali The non siavchu

party. l, ,s simply, Nationaism versus SECTIONAL

But how il can he that any large ans! Intelligent
portion of the Southern people cnn array themselves
against the only party i'll the country which seeks "

As strongly csnfrmaory Of the s"undncss and con-
servntisn OF the Northern Democracy. we here give
an official address, which shows that th: Wings
"Amcricans" (Kn"w SothinGs) and "HcpubIcans
lAbolitionistsJ of Pcnnsy ylvana, have in>cd upon
single candidate. to defeat ",c national adminstra-
ton and it, Nebraska fraud" nnd ''Arnod pumncr,

In view OF these facts, meeting o our rrsIectT"

'rhoinus Nicholson, al Beaver county, was nominated

10 all the lovers of freedom Pcnn-y lvania IA ca

In an article headed the Union OF the Opposition,
the Philalellhis North American, III" lending WhiC
paper of the State, exu,s openly i'll the fusion of the
elements of the opposition 10 the Dr!IncraiIc party
aud its ''mcasures and policy. as i:rcacd in the
course of the federal administration II r'ioiceS
thu, h"re is II cheering prospect ih" before the day
of the election arrives combination may be effected
which will glorious triumph Of the right over
the wrong, of the friends Of tho Constitution and
the Union over the miserable dynasty which would
sacrifice both, in order to maintain Itself in power.
We would ask the attention Of Southern Wings and
Know N"things to these startling declarations, which
mean nothing else than that all the fragments OF op-
position are to be brought bcar against the Demor
racy because OF its adherence TO ihc Kansas .Ncbras-
ka bill, and in order to secure an anNcbruska and
abolition triumph. TO the same pmrpor Tie North
American warmly cytols the address Of the Wing
Central Committee of Pennsylvania, who in Justify
ing the adoption of the candidate. of the knowNo-
thing party, "arc free to say n, they regard the de-
feat of the Democratic party, especially this time,
as the foremost political duty Of all who claim TO che.
rish Wing principles. Tn. Convention, actua;ed by
this motive directed all their Efforts 20 the cencentra-
tion of the various elements Z" opposition to the De-
mocrac party, which, although holding diverse
views upon other points, are uicompronisingly hos
tile to the alternate wcakncs- corruption and peIidy
uf the present National Administration, and TO the
inherent viciousuGss and dangerous tendencies OF the
Democratic party, now organized, AMI under its
present lenders.'
In Other words, the present administration is to
h. put down, because it bohi; adhered to and car
