TIM LIBERATION OF THE AMERICAN PARTY
from the ligatures of secrcsy, ceremonies, oaths
&c, is going on in the South generally. The
day is not distant when tho reconstruction of the
party on the basis of other political organizations
will be complete. At n meeting of the various
councils of Augusta lGeo.) the following resolu
tons were adopted:
!. That the period i'll the history and progress
of the Order has arrived, when sccresy, signs,

an open political Iarty, upon the great prnci-
piles which commanded the organization into
life, advanced II to power, and still sustains it on
the elevated pillars of justice, truth and patriot
ism.
B. That the continuance the If Union of these
States, under and according to the constitution,

FALL OF SEyAsToPoL.-On the 18th inst. n
public celebration took place in New Orleans for
the fall of Sevasiopol A re Deum was ohanted
at the Cathedral, and salute of three hundred
guns fired. The celebration was, however. con-
fined to the French part of the town, all the rest
refusing to participate. and the shipping in port
refusing to hoist their flags.
Of course, these Frenchmen have forgotten all
about their mother country, and have transferred
their affections, pride and hope entirely to the
land of their adoption. At least this is the De-
mocratc theory,and it must be so in spite of APP
pearances to the contrary.

TIE New COLLINS STEAMER--The journal Of
Commerce says that the most noticeable object
of the ship yards of New York is the mammoth
steamer. Adratic building for the Collins line,
in Mr.. STEERS yard. and which attracts numer-
Gus visitors. All proportions are gigantic, the
vessel exceeding in size any that has ever been
built in this country. In some of its dimensions
it will not vary materially from the United States
steamship Niagara, building at the navy yard
but in the number of tons it will DO superior.
The ship is entirely in frame, so that the deck
beams ard iron braces are being put in The
cardboard streak" which extends parallel with
the keel. and is equivalent to tho FIRST plank Is
also being put on. The strength the vessel is
in some degree Indicated by the fact that this is
eleven inches in thickness The iron braces, which
will extend obliqnely across the frames interla-
cling each other at intervals of four feet are Of
themselves a curiosity and wonder. They are
each fifty feet in length, scven-eigbts of an inch
in thickness and five inches broad weighing
stpen hundred and fifty pounds. There are three
hundred bars or STRAPS" of this description.
Four hundred men are constantly employed
on this ship, whose weekly wages average about
So 400, and it is expected she will be launched
about the It of April. She is three hundred and
forty five feet in length, fifty in breadth, and
thirty two in depth. The quantity of timber put
into her is enormous.

this is absurd, that their aggregate wealth is

The County Ticket.

The selection of candidates to represent the
American Party in the ensuing canvass for
county officers, was concluded last Saturday.
The ticket chosen will be found in another col
umn. 1t is composed of gentlemen who are
already in Office, and with whose qualifications
and merits the people of Davidson county are
familiar. They are ali competent and worthy
of continued support; and having been selec-
ted in the most republican manner, after every
member of the party had had an opportunity
to advance the claims of his favorite, we hope
every American in the county will cordially
sustain them. 1t is important to the interests
of the American Party, in the great contest
for the Presidency, that there should be union
and harmony in orr ranks-thar disappOint-
ments and personal aniinosties should not be
suffered to rankle in the breasts of any-and
that all should work together zealopsly and
for the good Of the cause. No enterprise can
be borne onward to triumph without sacrifices;
and for our part, we conceive the success Of
the American movement 50 intimately connec-
ted with the prosperity and happiness Of the
people, and the perpetuity Of our free institu-
tions, that there is no honorable sacrifice we
would not make to promote it. Let the AIneri-
can Party be governed by this spirit, and
proud future will it have TO rejoice over.
