If the South fail to cooperate with this conser-
vatiye party at the North, how long win any
motive remain TO our Northern conservative
friends, to battle for the principle Of non-inter
ventionf AS friends Of the Union, the Ameri-
can party in New York and the Middle States
will stand their ground, whilst the South shall
manifest a reciprocal devotion to the Union.
But the moment the South falls back upon
sectional platform, manifesting purpose to
hold no communion, no alliance with the con-
sentative, Union-loving portions of the North,
that moment, the Middle States will lose all
motive to do battle for the constitutional rights
of their Southern brethren. We repeat, there
is no anti-slapery purpose peryading the
" American party" as such, at the North, al
though in several Of the Northern States, a
majority of the people are anti-slavery in their
views. But New York, New Jersey, and Penn
sylvania form conservative bulwark, which
will resist the surges of fanaticism and with
the aid Of our Southern American" friends,
can thwart all efforts interfere with the rights
and interests Of any portion of the country.
We say then, that, as mere question Of
policy and expediency, Independent Of princi-
pie, the South should embrace the doctrines of
the American party"--unite with the con-
servatiye elements in New York, and the Mid
die States, on this great American movement

National Councils and Conventions their
influence to remedy the evils of Foreignism

The Failing on in Virginia.

In connection with the last desperate effort
Of the anti-American party in Virginia, to wit:
the reported Withdrawals from the American
party, we have just conversed with an inteli-
gent gentleman who has travelled extensively
in the Old Dominion during the past month,
and we give few items derived from him for
the consolation Of those unsuspecting and con-
fiding Democrats who have been gulled by
this trickery of the Richmond Junto and its
organs.
AT Lynchburg, our informant says he heard
the following conversation on Monday last to
wit:
GOOD morning Mr.. L-----, they say Sans fol-
lowers are falling of in your neigbborhood-how
is that p
Answer. az don't know how that is, but do
know they were initiating members all the while
the Democratic orator was speaking last Friday,
but how is il here? We hear the same thing Of
you in Lynchburgw
al know one thing" (said bystander) :" tina
our Council took in ffty-two last week." "Wh,
you amaze me-" twas the reply,) sit is reported
that your Councils here were broken upl"
Is i part Of sy.ssm oaessP pa.
this object If two or three men withdraw r
any locality, it is immediately telegraphed anc
otherwise communicated to distant portions O
the State, that the Councils from which the
two or three withdraw, are breaking upl Oul
informant assures us that dozen or fifteen
members are taken into the Councils for every
one who is scduced out of it.
Whilst in the cars from Lynchburg to Rich
mond, our informant was introduced to a re
spectacle Democrat from Caroline county, who
informed him that the order in that county
numbered about ninety members at the time
Mr.. Wise made his speech, and since that time
it has increased to upwards Of four hundred
The same Democrat told our informant that
there were very many Democrats, who, like
himself were outside the order, and who would
vote the full American ticket" These de-
tails come from . reliable source, and may
safely be put in contrast with the anti-Ameri-
can Roorbacks circulated through the press.
II may be remembered that the same game
was played by the anti-Americans in Pennsyl-
vania and New Hampshire, previous to the
elections in those States The anti-American
papers represented that the party was disband-
cd and broken up there, when 1t turned out
that the antics were routed, "horse, foot, and
dragoonsi |" The same result awaits them in

ScxsE AT HAvAsA.-The correspondent Of the
New Orleans Picayune relates the following recent
occurrences at Havana
At party given at the Palace, recently, the
Marquis de Espana Is reported 70 have said "He
could march with fifty thousand men from New
Orleans TO Maine" Another rejoined: "And
would undertake, with ten thousand men, to march
into New York;" yes" replied an American
gentleman, named Day, believe, "you might do
so without interruption, as long as you behaved
yourselves but II you raised any disturbance, rely
upon It. every soul Of your ten thousand men, and
yourself included, would find yourselves speedily
locked up in the "Toombs," and brought early
next morning before the Justice and made 10 pay
the penalty Of your offence"
As might be expected, this sarcasm had the de-
sired effect
A few evenings since, three young Creole gem
temen coming out Of the Tacon theatre, passed
four Spanish army officers who we're smoking One
Of the young Creoles solicited the courtesy Of be-
ing permitted to light cigar by that Of one Of the
officers The officer handed his cigar to the Gre
ole with an air Of marked contempt. The Creole
in returning the cigar to the officer, exhibited a
simia~feeling. Upon which the officer pushed
against the Creole, who, forthwith, without any
ceremony, knocked the officer down, who, az he
lay rprsvling on the ground, pulled pistol out OF
his breast, which was Instantly knocked out of his
hand the other three officers coming TO the as
sstance Of their fallen friend received a sound
thrsshing at the hands Of the three CreoIes, who,
who, however, at length overpowered by numbers,
were taken TO prison.
Family considerations have induced an effort TO
have the matter arranged, and believe 1t Is now
in the course Of settlement.

The PhiIadeIphia EIectIon.

The Union and other administration Jour
mails, like Chapman Of old, have been Growing
Justify, for the last three days, over what they
declared Democratic victory in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Ledger Of yesterday, jour
nal Of decided Democratic affinities, gives a
plump denial to all their imaginary gains, by
announcing the fact that tho Americans have
elected their Treasurer and Commissioner by
from 200 TO 800 majority, opr the combined
vote Of the Wings and Democrats. And, more
over, that the Democrats have elected but 4s
members Of the Councils, while tho Americans
have elected So.
At the last charter election in Philadelphia,
although the Americans were successful, there
was majority Of nine thousand votes against
them, taking the aggregate vote of both the
Democratic and Wing parties opposed to them.
Now, they have triumphcd over both the old
parties combined
So Ear, therefore, from the Americans hav-
ing fallen off in their strength, they have ac-
tually done better, by several thousand votes
than they did at the last charter election.
There is another feature in the Philadelphia
election, which is worthy Of remark; and that
is the fact that the old Native American lead
ers refused to act with the American party, be-
cause they could not control 1t, and therefore
united with the opposition. Still. the true
Americans nobly addressed themselves to the
work, and swept the city in triumph.
"Sam" is perfectly satisfied and contented
with the result He had a harder battle to
fight than usual-had 700 fraudulent votes to
contend against among other unexpected obsta-
cles-yet, invinciblo as he always is, he con-
quered them all.

FACTS AND FIGURES ron THE CONSIDERATION or
AMrRIcASs-By reference TO the Compendium OF
the Census of 1850, page 90, you have the start
ling fact that there were in the United States in
1880, male population Of 1899, 464, who were
born In foreign countries, or aliens by birth, by
education, &c. The emigration, to this country
since 1850, has been at the rate Of four TO Eve
hundred thousand per annum, say two millions.
Set half Of that number down as males and you
now have in the United States two millions two
hundred and thirty-nine thousand four hundred
and sirty-four males Of alien birth, and at least
one and half millions Of that number are able
bodied men, capable Of bearing arms, while our
native male population Is fraction over eight mill
lions three-fourths Of which are boys and old men,
leaving our native male militia strength about two
millions, difference in our favor Of scarcely sufi-
Gent magnitude to secure the country against
Popery or revolution. viii any patriot say we
are safe or wise In receiving more foreigners
