new party has recently sprung into existence knewn
as the American Know Northng party, ayowing
principles in harmony with those held by US for many
years. The party itself is neO, but the principles are
DID, Believing those principles to be correct, and be-
ieving also that the organization te American party
is well calculated to secure the objects aimed at viz
that "Americans shall rule America = that Roman
Catholics who acknowledge the temporal supremacy of
the Pope shah be excluded from political control in this
country and that the Union shall be tranquized by
putting down the agitation Of the slavery question
which has disturbed the harmony Of the States for
quarter of century 1--WE shall rejoice in their tri-
umphs And when the contest is made to turn upon
these principles alone shall hesitate give them
such aid ability will enable US to give, and Justice
may require. We shall not strike the Wing flag to do
battle for any party but with the old Star Span
glcd Banner, ever dear to good Wings floating over
us, shall pursue steady course, and presume
the American party will not reject ally under this
flag.
But it is unnecessary for us to say in regard to
our prncipes-the paper is well known in the coun-
ties where look for patronage. With increased fo-
cilities for improving news department and with
enlarged space for other matter, shall endeavor to
deserve success and therefore earnestly appeal to ge-
public for such increase Of patronage as will
sustain our enterprise.
