Mr.. Editor: have received your paper and am
highly pleased with il butt would like very much
to see your platform nailed to the masthead, and
sent out to the world in every issue. The public
mind needs information as to what the American
party proposes to do. feel well assured sour

progress Of the American party in this State.
Those elections will be attended with consequent

at the North, and win hereafter stand upon pure
" national grounds. In this State we shall render
a good account at the election next October. Put
that down as certain.
KIRKLAND, N. C.--The friends Of the American
party are all alive on the subjects embraced in the
principles in your paper. "Sam" is passing to and
fro throughout the length and breadth Of the old

South, in the order or out Of who is willing
TO hazard the success Of this great popular
movement to crafty either his political selfish
ness or sectional malignity.
Any northern man who thinks the agitation Of
the question of slavery matter of more impor-
lance than the success of American principles,
has no business in our order, and the sooner we
get clear Of all such, the better. Any southern
man who can see nothing good in the order
because there are anti-slayery men in it, has
no business in the order, and the sooner we
get clear Of them, too, the better. The croak-
ings, the taunts, the rawlings Of our enemies
shall not force US into recognising slavery,
either pro or con, as one Of the elements of our
organization We say to the Richmond En-
quirer, the Union, the Washington Sentinel,
OF I'd omne genus--you may effect as much
horror as you please for abolitionists -and rail
at us as much as you choose--but still you
shall not drive US into the denunciation~ Of
every man who thinks slavery great evil
and, moreover, the American party do not in
tend to allow you to destroy this Union, be-
cause your co-workers in mischief will agitate
about slavery. On the other hand, we say to
the New York Tribune, the National Era, the
Albany Journal, and all birds of that feather,
you shall not force us to become pro-slavery
advocates, nor do we intend to allow you to de-
stroy the Union because there are shareholders
in the order.
This being our position, and this being
the position of the American party, as we
understand tit Is not at all wonderful
that the VIC are assailed by ultraists and dis
unionists at both ends of the Union. The
higher law agitators and disunionists at the
North, charge that the American party is allied
with slavery, and is the mere instrument of the
slave power. The fire-eating agitators and dis
unionists at the South, charge that the Ameri-
can party is lcagued with abolitionism. Both
these sets Of arch mischief makers and dema-
gogues plainly see that the success of Ameri-
can principles is their destruction. Hence
their ranting and raving.
We have taken our position distinctly--we
shall spare no one, whether in the order or
out Of it, who endeavors to destroy the peace
of the country, and to hazard the Union, by
agitating the subject Of slavery, aotheth~ in Con-
gress or out oit, whether he be efhigh or Of loao
degree. If any one, who is in the order, proves
SO far recreant to its principles and his own
professions, as to be willing to hazard its sue
sess, merely to subserve his own selfish purpo-
ses, he ought to be exposed, as unworthy the
confidence of the order-and, SO far as our eff.
forts can avail, he shall be exposed. We shall
recur to this matter hereafter, in connection
with the late Senatorial elections.

Mr. EDIroR: A wrong impression has been made
by the recent election in this place, which justice
to Mr.. Dodge, and his position before the commu-
nifty, require should be corrected.
Mr.. Dodge not having been the candidate of the
American party, it seems to be taken for granted
that he was and is opposed to their principles
,oiich is not so. The facts in the case are briefly
these Weeks before 1t was known who the Amer
lean capdidate would be, Mr.. D. suffered his name
to be used by friends Of the Metropolitan railroad
who did not approve Mr.. Addison's course towards
that undertaking. And 1t was only upon this issue
that Mr.. d. consented TO be candidate. He did
not Vish the Office; and entertaining no hostility to
the American party, he would have insisted upon
the withdrawal Of his name, had the nominee Of
that party been at the same time friend of the
railroad.
Very respectfully,
An AMERICAN.
Wearc glad to learn that Mr.. Dodge is not OPP
posed to the principles Of the American party.
He was, however, voted for, as we learn, by

Terribly Alarmed.

The Sentinel of this morning is panic
stricken with the prospect before it. The next
House Of Representatives, itinformsits readers,
will vote for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave
law, the abolition Of slavery in the District Of
Columbia, and to exclude slavery from Kansas
and Nebraska The Sentinel also says, that If
all this be done, it "would not answer for the
consequences" and thinks that southern
men" would forcibly drive out the northern
members, and keep the Capitol for themselves.
Now, with all due respect for the Sentinel
we give it as our opinion, that if anything
would produce the state Of things which it pre-
diets, it would be the publication in the news
papers of this District Of articles like that to
which we allude. 1t is not strange that the
Sentinel should be alarmed by the sweeping
reformation now going on throughout the land !;
but it certainly ought not to communicate its
fear in SO abrupt manner to the old women
and young children of the District. Fit does
zoe twill not be answerable for the conse-
nuences
