might find enough, giving utteranoe to similar
sentiments, to fill our paper from beginning to
end. However, sufficient is published to show
that the views of the great men of the nation,
in the earlier days of the Republic, corresponded
with the cardinal principle now advocated by
the National American party.
Yet, for advocating doctrine originated by
the founders of the Republic, the American
party is denounced in the most slanderous, abu-
