The Eight view Oft.


The Putnam Banner thus sensibly allndes
to the American party and sectional ques-
tions:
The platform is neither slavery or anti
slavery. The American parry was not or
ganZsd to fight in opposition to slavery, and
any attempts upon the north to saddle the
burthen upon "Sap'' will meet with our dis
appreciation. In "Sam's" RANKS there are
persons holding almost every sentiment upon
the slavery question, end for that reason, if
for no other, it would be wrong to commit
the party for or against it. To do so it would
become sectional organization, and not
National. Ills true, the party as a general
thing voted. in virtue, against the repeal OF
the Missouri Compromise last fall, but not
solely as al anti Nebraska party. The eu.
tire north, as well as a good portion of the
south, look upon that repeal as fraught with
anything else but good to the country. 1t
ought never to have been touched. Il Open
ed the gates again for agitation, and has un-
doubtedly weakened the bonds of the Nation.
"Sami is not in any way responsible for tine
passage OF this obnoxious act, neither is it
his duty to restore the compromise, but to
advocate an equitable adjustment of all poll
teal differences which threaten the integrity
or perpetuity of the Union, as well as I'M
compromising antagonism to every principle
of policy that will endanger it. The temper
ance men, as we'll as the Nebraskaites,
voted last fall with SAM but this does not
prove that the American party is temper
ance Organization. Ii Is neither for or against
temperance, or for or against non-interven-
ton, but based upon the grand idea of an
American nationality. "Sam" has enough
to Go without packing upon his back every
sectional or locals which may be brought
iup.

sam,s Nationality, &C.


We have maintained and we do maintain,
that no set of factonists have the right to
pack upon "Sam's" back any sectional or
local issue. In the formation of the AmeFi-
can party, there was no reference made to
the slavery question, no more than to the
temperance question. Individual members
have never been required to make any pledge
on these questions, bat were left, just pre-
cisely as they are now permitted, to Judge
and act independently for themselves on
such questions. The party was originated
as national reform party-and its aims, OBJ
jects and designs, were all of a national na-
ture, to secure which men of all sections
might unite. We deny the right of mem
bers of this party in the South as we'll as in
the North, to fasten UPON it local questions.
Entertaining these opinions, if we were a
Free-soiler in every sentiment of our heart,
we SHOULD oppose as a warm sympathizer
with the American party, the attempts now
being made 10 engraft Free-soilism on the
platform of this party.
The platform recently adopted by the Ma
tional Convention, is as near to being a
national platform, so far as the question Of
slavery is concerned, as any platform which
could have been adopted mentioning the
subject at all. There is nothing in it which
will prevent any Republican in Indiana, vot-
ing hereafter as he has done before, against
those Northern doughfaces who assisted in
passing the odious Nebraska bill, or against
any person who may have sympathized with
such doughfaces and their unwarrantablt
action. The Republican party and the Am
'erican party were united last election in thi:
Estate, and thus gained glorious victory
over Old Line Democracy, and gave severe
rebuke to those men who fastened the Ne
braska iniquity upon us. They must con
tinue to be identified for even hope of sue
cess in the future. But mass meeting has
been called at the Capital, which has drec
object, whether so intended or not; to make
an uncompromising division between thes,
political forces. This is giving the anti
American party hope, where it had none be
fore. Those who belong to the American
party and attend this convention, and oppos
the action of the Philadelphia convention
will be in open rautiny to their party. The,
assisted in calling the national convention
their chosen delegates participated in its &C
ton, and yet now many of those who sen
Them there, refuse to abide by the decision
of this convention of their own making
They had no business being in that conyen
ton through their delegates, unless they in
tended to yield their own wishes, if necessa
ry, to the will of the majority. The Reput
lican party has a perfect right to act for il
self and hold just such meetings as it ma
see fit, but members of the American part
have right to maintain their independence
and LOOK to their national convention
higher authority for future action, than
Republican meeting concocted by Free
soilers.

or The Junior Editor of the Evansville
Journal has volunteered to 90 to Clay county
and fight the battles of his country. We
hope our unknown friend may distinguish
himself, and secure pension for life. But
what will he do, Mr.. Sanders, If the Gov
vernon is not there to witness his feats of
valor! Will Gen. Dodd notice him favora-
bly, in his disPatches?-[[ Rockville Repub.
Why, write back home to his paper, and
notice his feats of valor in valorous way,
of course. But the opportunity was not per-
mitted. Valor was there u condensed form
about bursting its bilers, but there was no
chance for lettingit out. Patriots like our
Junior, Mr.. Republican, don't fight for indi-
vidual applause at their country's call, but
only to receive glory as the reflection of
that they shed on lhei. country

A BIGAMIsr CAU9ET.-A "gay Loraihio, -
rejoicing in the name of N athanBFown, in our
neighboring village Of Galena, was arrested
by the officers of the law a few days since,
and is nov confined in our county Jail, for
loving "not too fondy but tl00 we'll" The
circumstances of the case are about these
Brown formerly lived in Hamilton. O., where
he had wife, but whether that was the onIy
wife he possessed at that time is doubted by
many. FROM Hamilton he removed 10
Galena in this county, where he married an
other wife.
In Galena he was considered very exem-
plary citizen. He was prominent member
of church, and was highly respected
Some time since he left Galena and his
second wife and proceeded to Evansville,
where he was fast ingratia ting himself into
the good graces ofanother lady, and promised
soon to have a third bride. In the mean
time his rascaIity was discovered, and ne
received at Evansville letter from his first
wife in Hamilton. stating that she had come
into possession of a considerable amount of
means, and was ready to 60 with him to any
place.
The russ succeeded, and Brown proceeded
TO Cincinnati. He sent word to his wife to
come there, which she did, accompanied by
the sheriff. He met her at the depot, and
after an afectionate greeting, she remarked
"Mr. Brown, permit me to introduce you to
Mr.. Sheriff." Brown ''came down." He
quietly submitted, and was forthwith brought
to this place. He was taken before ESQ.
Jocelyn, where he plead guilty to the charges
against him, and was committed to Jail to
await his trial. He will undoubtedly be
furnished W it'll lodgings at Sam Patterson's
boarding house in Jacksonville.

at the Bodam mines quite frequently and
we learn that the coali well liked by steam
boat engineers. Mr.. Kersteman is now pre-

Corn. dealers in corn, like the wise
men in Egypt, have been providently supply
ing themselves with corn during the season,
specializing, as some may term it, and the
result is that there is large stock on hand.
One dealer aione has $4,000 bushels in store,
all purchased in Indiana. This is equal to
the entire estimated stock in the city, pub
lished last week. Lou. Dem.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT PIERCE .-Presi-
dent Pierce has written letter TO the Demo-
Gratis of Fredericksburg, Va, who invited
him to attend celebration there in honor Of
the election of Mr.. Wise, in which he says:
'Pre- eminent!y prominent as the sons Of
Virginia have been, from the commencement
of the Revolution, for their bold advocacy of
the cause of freedom-for their consistent
and patriotic devotion to the only principles
upon which government constituted like
ours can be sustained, it may well be doubted
whether they have ever achieved for them
selves more distinguished honor than in the
late election, OF have ever rendered higher
service to this Union.
1t was certainly very "disdnguished
honor"' in the Democracy of Virginia to
elect to the highest Office in their gift. one OF
the most abusive enemies ever Gen. Jackson
had. 1t was delightful testimonial to 1.-The
memory of the great father of Democracy
This triumph of Democracy, and the fame
Of John Tyler, are the property of Virginia,
and the admiration of President Pierce.
