We endorse the Express, in the most
unqualified terms. The American party
in Ohio is strictly anti-slaycry, and they
are the reform party Of the state. If the
old hunkers, under the name of Rcpubl-
ancs should fly the track, or attempt to
gull the American organization by placing
old.,silver grey wings or old fogy demo-
Gratis, with false faces in the field, they
will be most signally defeated. If por-
ton Of the anti-sIavcry men Of the north
should attempt to keep up separate po-
litical organization, the effect will only be
to diminish the over whclming majority
of the American party, but not to defeat
1t. Amcriconism will rule Ohio, and it
willrule these United States, mark that,
