Piasform OF the ssAmerican'' Party.

Piatform OF the ssAmerican'' Party.
We publish, to-day, series ofresoutions'
said to have been drafted by committee OF
q Know Nothing council in the city OF New
York, expressive of the views and aims OF
the order. As it is understood that they are
quite generally adopted by the various coun-
ellis of New York State, and that as it is de-
signed to secure their adoption throughout
the country, they may be taken as the Polit-
ical confession of faith of the new Ameri-
can party. In this view the document is an
important one, and will be studied with in.
terest. If this platform contains the true
principles of the Know Nothing party, then
these Know Nothings are certainly not such
terrible mean fellows at last. We see no
thing more against Catholicism in this plat
form than against Msthodism Or Presbyteri
anism, although there may be something o
the kind concealed where least we suspect it
To say the least, tbs tenfold better plat
form than that acted upon by Old Liners gen
orally, no matter what they may profess
all, that we are not q Know Nothing, SO tina
we cannot say this is their correct platform
but we know it to be the platform adopte
by the Know Nothing council of New York
and by them recommended to the council
of other States. We think those who rea
it will be very apt to know the principles Q
Al II nj
Judge themselves whether or not they be s
very obnoxious as some of the Old Liner
would snake believe"

Cor A DucKrNe.-When the fine steamer
Niagara arrived at our wharf night before
last, and the crew were in the act OF launch
ing plank and getting their lines ashore
honest Billy Crofts being anxious to get
aboard and get a trunk to haul, started
up the plank before the Mate got ready to
receive company. We understand that the
Mate told Billy and others not to come aboard
then, but it seems they did not heed the re-
quest, and the Mate attempted to assist them
ashore. Billy, not being very active, and
the hero of the fore.castle showing him"
rather lively, he missed his stays and got
overheard. Billy had no notion of being
drowned, and scrabbled out upon terra 6rma,
shook himself and started for the Recorders
Office to procure writ to bring the mate to
justice for his insoence. He soon succeed
ed in getting his customer before His Honor,
but neglected the very important matter oil
producing any evidence to prove the assault
The mate was accordingly discharged, and
Billy's "duckng" only served as caution to
draymen and others who are in the habit Of
being little too fast in getting on board
steamboats, when they are approaching the
shore.

Petty Hum buggery.

The Enquirer repeats its absurd charge
that the Know N othings are responsible for
depreciation of property in Evansville.
which exists only in the imagination of the
editor of that paper and few scared old
fogies. Why does it not answer the ques-
sions we asked it! We wished to know the
name Of single man who has sold his pro-
perry or left Evansville on account of the
Know Nothings here-and if any person
has gone away on that account, where he
went 90 as to escape the presence of Know
Nothings. But the Enquirer scorns to an.
swer plain questions. Now if we were Ger
man or an Irishman, and hated Know No.
things with all our heart and soul, we should
take il as an insult il any newspaper editor
said re were wanting to sell our property or
leave the city in fear of Know Nothings.-
We do not believe there is foreign born
man in Evansville who would move foot
out of his way for this society, and we do
not believe there is Know Nothing in Ev-
ansville, who if he had the power, would
drive single foreigner out of the city
This bugbear of the Enquirer cannot even
brighten children. The editor himself be.
leves it no more than we do, but is bare
facedly trying to humbug foreigners and
make them believe lie, SO that spurred on
by the lie, they will vote for the ticket which
the Old Line leaders are now endeavoring
to thrust down their throats. If property
has deprecated here, which we have denied
and some Germans are anxious to sell thei
property, probably the new prohibitory liquor
law may have something to do with the mat
ter-and probably, if this be the case, ont
Gov. Wright and one Lieut.. Gov. Willard
and one State Senate, all Old Line, VIII,
helped make this law, may come in for
little of the responsibility Of making thes
Germans close up their shops and breweries
and seek to effect sale of their property
Why don't the Enquirer charge upon them
or charge upon the law itself, or charge upol
the hard times, &C., some of the responsible
ity! Mott charges this fancied depreeia
tion upon an order which it has been al
along declaring powerless in this city,
"stink in the nostrils of society,"" fast dis
banding, &c. Ridiculous inconsiste ncy
and let it pass for what it's worth.

W The following paragraph appeared in
an editorial ia last Tuesdays Journal:

ave have no billingsgate to vomit out
against your faultless ticket. % Such cpl
thets as drunken Irish and dirty Dutch" are
peculiar only to the columns of the Enquirer"
We have been astonished that this plain
paragraph, saying distinctly that such Ian.
guage as drunken Irish and dirty Dutch
belonged exclusively to the Enquirer, has
been translated to Germans as expressions
coming from US. We learn that some dirty
scamp translated the article to a crowd of
Germans at the w ashington Hotel. and made
them believe nee had called them "dirty
Dutch" Now this man may have been
most grossly igaorant of English language
in it's plainest form-but we are rather in.
cliued to the belief that he was acting the
barefaced knaue to injure US. Hereafter
when he or any other man has any enmity
to us, let him be man enough to come and
speak it ont before our face. We are not SO
large that knaves need be afraid to stand up
~ men before our face, however much they
may sink below men behind our back.

For the Journal.1
remarkable Longevity.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
In looking over the Enquirer of Wednes.
day morning, observed an instance Of
remarkable longevity, which certainly merits
passing notice. tits stated that the grand
father of one of our citizens emigrated to this
country in company with Lord Baltimore;
and afterwards fought bravely at the battle Of
White Plains. Lord Baltimore landed in
Maryland in February, 1884. The battle of
White Plains occurred in October. l776-
l42 years afterwards. Surprising him to have
been only Is years of age at the time Of his
emigration, he must have been one hundred
and sirty years old at the time of the con-
flict above specified. A veteran most truly
regret that the writer did not inform u.s.
whether the aged hero survived the battle,
and how many years. L.

to vote here, and we have men here who
mean just chat they say. We have not re-
ceived the proclamation yet, but it is under
stood that the election will come off on the
3Oth.
The Polar Star is in sight, and want to
send this letter by her. So goodbye for
the present.

KANSAS CORRESPONDENCE.

DoSrPHAN CITY, K. T., March "a, 1885.
DEAR JouRyAL:
1t has been so long since I have writ.
ten to you, that scarcely know how to be-
gin, but the fact is we have but little time to
spare to the pen, out here at present.
thought that when got my Office completed,
should have plenty of time to spare to my
friends in the Hoosier State, but l had
scarcely moved into it before my friends
came to me, and insisted that should come
out as the Free State candidate for delegate.
As our election comes of on the 3Oth, and
I only consented to run few days ago, l Of
course am as busy as bee. Our district,
the fourteenth. is the largest in the Terrific
ry, and runs one hundred and thirty miles
into the interior. The worst of it is, have
not been twenty miles from Doniphan yet,
and il it continues as cold as il is to-day, l
am afraid I shall not be able to visit the
Western portion of the district, which is
very thickly settled. But if should not,
believe | shall get a sufficient majority in
this portion of the district, to elect me. This
district is calculated as largely pro-slavery
in fact the slavery candidates expect 10 get
majority Of at least FIVE to one, but | think
they will find their mistake after the cleo.
ton.
My opponent is the famous Stringfel low
of gas and slavery notoriety. In his imme.
date neighborhoOd, shall get majority o.
at least four to one. think the matter will
be settled this election, and | at last begir
to think Kansas will be free State. Gov
Reeder is working the thing beautifully
The Missouri river is open, and steamers
pass every day. 1t makes me feel at ieas
four hundred miles nearer home-sometimes
I almost fancy am on the banks of the
Ohio.
We have had very cold weather for the
last two weeks, and settlers come in bu
slowly; as soon as it gets pleasant again, We
will have them in swarms. The cold wealth
er retards the growth of our city. We have
some fifteen houses waiting for winter t.
break. We want to get up as many houses
as possible before the public sale (the l6tf
Of ApriD, in order to make as big show Al
possible. Should the weather continue Al
cold for three days longer. the river will, II
all probability, close again. hope it viii
not, for the steamers make the prospect lool
! far brighter. and for its view of the river
DoniPhan cannot be equaed; every nous,
and hen coop in the place can be seen from
! the steamboats,.
We have sever al tribes of Indians aroun,
this place, and have some little trouble will
them. The grog shops at Atchison suppl,
them with whisky, contrary to law, and
drunken Indian is worse than a wild beast
When sober, they are far more honest, an,
make better citizens, than many of the whit
settlers. We are not cursed with prop
gerry yet, but l am afraid we will not be able
TO keep them out much longer, unless we ust
Judge Lynch's law.
