Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1855-11-26


Of individuals, composed Of Democrats, outside
Wings, Catholics ex-oiice- holders, &C., &c,
are, IL is stated and believed, essaying, by such
combination, to command the patronage Of
Congress, without, SO far rs we know, any es-
pecial merit TO boast Of except it be their
opposition to the principles and progress Of the
American party. Whether any or all the com
ponent parts of this combination are influenced
by personal hatred Of the Orgaa--by political
hatred Of our cause, or by the hope of sever
ally sharing in the spoils, we know not, and
care not Wespeak mainly Of their acts, and
do not care to inquire into their motives. So
far as the Proprietors Of the american organ
are concerned, we stand solely and exclusively
on Aaserican ground.
Despite the efforts Of the enemies Of our
cause to make US assume a false position, we
have always stood, and shall ever stand, upon
Americanism as our basis. We desire an
american organization Of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes. We appeal to the american mem
bers Of the House for their support, yet we
shall not act the part Of noodles and declare
that we want no votes other than those of the
" American party" We want the support Of
all who are disposed to give us their votes,
after this open avowal Of our position. The
senior editor Of this paper has been an advocate
of American doctrines since the first formation
of an American party-some fifteen years ago.
He has spent probably as much of time and OF
money in the cause as any other individual, and
he is not likely non, on the eve Of the triumph
Of his party, to abandon positions which he has
maintained even under circumstances the most
discouraging. .s
The editors and proprietors Of the american
Organ are members of the American party, y
and Of no other party. We neither seek, nor
will we promote the success Of any other ism
but Americanism. We have made no alliance
and seek none with any other party, any
other presses or any other persons. We
are governed by no clique, nor will we seek
to influence any clique. We present no
candidates for any other position than that
Of public printers, nor do we ask the APP
pointment to Office, Of any individual, in or
out of the american Organ, establishment. y
We desire all public stationoto be filed by
americans, but we shall designate no one Of
our friends for any such station, for the espe-
cial reasons; list, that we do not consider it our
right TO interfere between friends, and I'd that
we are ourselves candidates for Congressional
fayors
These declarations may seem superfuous to
those who are not apprized Of the false rumors
which have been circulated, that the american
Organ aoould seek to press its .tarorites for
Congressional appointments. But for the va
rious rumors ahoat upon this subject we
should have been silent on this point.
In conclusion, we have to say to our friends
in Congress, that we shall not importune them
by any personal appeals, nor annoy them with
repeated personal interviews We desire only
to place our claims fairly before them for their
consideration, and to ask that, in. the discharge
Of their duty to themselves and to their party,
they do not listen TO the interested misrepre-
sensations of some Of our too selfish neighbors,
nor be deceived by the well-concocted false
hoods Of either the disguised or the open enc.
mics Of our party.
