Prosuccts Of the American Party.


After careful survey of the whole field of battle,
from the Mississippi the East to the Texas boun-
Diary on the West, and from the Gulf to the Arkan-
sas line, we have come to the conclusion that the
prospects of the American Order are of the bright
est imaginable character; that every indication is
cheering; and that all signs betoken magnificent
triumph in November. The more reflect over
the matter, the stronger become our convictions.
The oftener we look at the data in our possession
gathered from the best of sources and from all
quarters-the sureF are we that calculations are
well founded. Were the election to come off on
Monday next we are well convinced that the Ameri-
can party would carry the State by majority OF
thousands.
1t is not at all surprising that the American party
possesses such surprising strength such inyinclble
popularity among the masses; such an influence
with and the intelligent, honest, and patriotic
men of the community. Three great causes con
tribute to and make up the grand sum total of its
power. In the first place, it is founded in truth
and justice and appeals to the nobest instincts of
our natures, directly There is no evasion circum-
locution, or equvocaton, about the principles it
advocates They spread broadly before the
world. In the second place, the American party
only sustains doctrines known and honored IN every
civilized land, and which, everywhere but here, a
citizen would be stigmazed as traitor, II not pun.
ished for disavowing. In all countries blessed by
the radiance of Gods sun, pride in the soil OF ones
birth has been considered the highest OF patriotic
virtues Here, the state of affairs is reversed, and
a native, puming himself upon the grandeur of the
confederacy and the ilustrous deeds OF his ances-
tors, is subj cted to obloquy and reproach. Ii he
wants to eulogise anybody, he must look around
and find those who came here from ehoice;' who
were not Ushered into this "breathing world by
the force of "accidelt" as natives are politely told
they were And, in the third place, the American
party only seeks to give vitality to cardinal prin
ciple enforced throughout christendom, and clearly
recognized by the constitution of the United States
viz that the sons Of the soil should have, and of
right out to have the exclusive charge of the gov
eminent and management of that soil. If this prin-
ciple is founded in error the practice OF all other
nations is erroneous, and the constitution OF the
Federal Union enforces grievOus wrong To a
very material extent it carries out the doctrines of
the American party, for it expressly STIMULATES that
no adopted citizen shall ever become either Presi-
dent or Vice President of the United States! Thus,
il is apparent, that while are justified in the as
sertion of our principles by the uniform practice OF
contemporary nations, that the organic law Of the
confederacy backs us with its irresistible authority.
These are the reasons few of them--hurriedly
glanced at which make organization so formida-
bic, we may say irresistible. We submit they are
founded in common sense and justice-that they
ought to, must will, and sAall prevail IN. Orleans
