To the Public.

1t will be seen by this number that "THE AMER
1cAN PATRIOT" will in future be conducted by Mr.
W. II. Green and myself. The newspapers in our
town were too thick-they were crowding each
other too much, and the change which has been
brought about is nothing more than fair business
transaction.
When new editor takes the field it is customa
ry to introduce himself to the public as politely as
he knows how Waving all superfuous bows,
concatory smiles and bland speeches, let this be
taken for my salutation: Two reasons have induced
me to take the editorial position which have
med-6rst that Imight be enabledto support more
e6ecsirely those political doctrines rhich belierc
to be good and true, and secondly, that I may las
every good citizen ought, make for myse.f an hon
est livelihood Respectfully soliciting liberal share
ofthe patronage and support ofa generous public,
am yours, etc, c. 7. DUNN.

To the Patrons of the Patriot.

Tie undersigned has disposed of the news
paper establishment of,he american Patriot
to Messrs W. H. Green and G. I. Dunn.
These gentlemen will complete all contracts
for subscription or otherwise, and take pleas
ure in commenting them to the support OF the
patrons of the establishment,
In withdrawing from the Patriot am as
surcd that it will still continue to battle for the
advancement Of that great and growing party,
to which its energies were dedicated with the
first issue Of the paper, and am confident
that the "Patriot' will be made an able advo-
cate for the furthcrancc Of the aims and objects
Of the great American Party.
And in retiring from the Editorial chair, l
take pleasure in returning my sincere thanks
to the gentlemen of the Press, for the flatterng
manner in which they have spoken of our ef-
forts, also to the patrons of the Patriot
beg to tender my humble acknowledgements
in bidding them an affectionatc adicu.

Prayer and Fasting.

II conformity to an ordinance passed by our
worthy Mayor and Town Council, last We'd
ncslay was set apart as day of prayer and
fasting, for the purpose of supplicating Divine
Mercy to stay the long drought which was
weighing 50 heavily upon us-partcularly up
on the planting portion Of our community.
Divine Worship was held in the Methodist
church, in which all denominations participa-
ted. a very excellent scgmoa was delivered
by the Rev Mr.. Gushing, eur Episcopalian
sent, on the occasion, our aged friend, Rev. Se-
rono Taylor, whose i'll health has for some
weeks past kept him confined TO his room.

NATIVE AMERICAN PLATroRM.--The attention
of the reader is especially called to the "Na-
tive American Platform" which will he found
on the first page. The new party has been
strongly objected TO because of the alleged Sc
creey Of its political views. Here they are in
this document published to the world All
who desires can see what they are, and the
mere that platform Is read, the better. Each
article stand; for itself and challenges rcluta
ton Il Z confidently asserted that every Oh
lection urged against the new party will bemet
and oyerthrown by the document itself without
one word of comment or explanation. The
principles incorporated therein are liberal just,
and noble. They are the pure dictates of pat
rioism, and the man who wrote il, gave utter
ance to one universal sentiment which lives
and tourishes in the bosom Of every true bern

position to become associated in the manage

with more reading matter, of better quality,

just such purchase as we have made iii the

SO doing, that they will just reflect moment,

enough to justify our course, adopted, as it
has been, with view to mutual benefit. We

BEAUTIFUL SENT1MENT.-Among the many fine
passages in the speech of Mr. Hunter, at Peters
burg. Va, Tuesday night, none elected more I'M
bounded applause than the following. We do not,
of course pretend to give the exact language, but
the thought:
Deprive" said he, "the Catholics of all the off,
ces bar them from, every avenue to political dis
tinction, deny to them the opportunities which you
accord without hesitation to infdes and atheists,
and whe, you have done it all, when you have
placed their honest ambition to enjoy the honors and
emoluments of political prefermen under the ban of
"a ruthless prescription, your work is not yet fin
ished.
"There will still remain Offices for them Yes,
my friends, the sweet Offices of Christian love will
still be left, and in the midst of your prosecutions
their bishops and priests in the recent pestence
in your Southern cities. will throng the hospitals and
the pest houses bringing succor and consolation to
the poor victims of the plague. Aye, and their Sis.
ters of Charity will still brave the terrors of loathe-
some and infectious disease, will still wipe the death
damp from the suffering brow, will still venture in
when the courage of shrinks back appalled,, and
will point the dying gaze through the mysterious
gloom of the Valley of the Shadow of Death to the
Cross and the Cruched !"
