The True American Spirit.

The Savannah (Ga.) Republican,, after re-
tons in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
and Alabama, sums up his conclusion in the
following pertinent paragraphs:
When, therefore, all the circumstances attending
the recent elections are taken into consideration
when it is remembered that the American party is
still in its infancy; that it is to some extent without
leaders, and that nearly all the old politicians of
both parties are banded together against it; when,
too it is considered that the opposition was thor
Oughly organized, and ably conducted, and already
in power in all the States named above with single
exception, while the American party was without
leaders-when all these circumstances are duly
weighed, it seems to the result if not substan-
tia victory of the American party, is at least full
of hope and encouragement. We see no cause
why one who has put his hands to the plough,
should turn back; but every reason why he should
push forward, and never rest from his labors until
be shall have accomplished the work that is before
him. Never has a party accomplished so much
within so short period.
II is anything but respectful to suppose a man
will quit the American party at the suggestion of
any paper or leader To do so would be confess
sion of error and ignorance. 1t would be an &C.
acknowledgement that be joined the party without
fixed purpose and out Of sheer curiosity or thought
lessness. Nay-it would be an act of self condem-
nation of political suicide, for which he would re-
ceive credit from neither party. No; let Americans
stand firm as their fathers have done before them.
There may be features Of the movement which they
do not like, and which We do not like; but these
will be Topped off as it grows older and wiser; while
all that is good will remain. Our only reason for
supporting the party is the desire TO improve the
naturalization laws, and to check 'the wild hunt
after Office" Beyond this we have no desire to go,
and until this is accomplished we shall be seduced
from our purpose neither by the nsidious appeals
Of the opposition, the fightful demonstrations
Of the 'seVen headed beast"

tB The low-fung, sanderous terms in which
some of the know nothing papers have spoken o
Hon. A. V. Brown are totally unworthy the repu.
tation of any acutated by particle of the prin
cpe Of self respect or common decency. The re-
cords of Biipgsgate fish market would be put tc
the blush on comparison. The course Of Gov
Brown, and bis character, are above the reach oil
such low bred sandercrs. The men who have thus
spoken of him, would disgrace the morals of Sing

The objects of this association are set forth in

Whereas We deem it highly important, in order
70 maintain the position We have assumed, that this
Association, composed of representatives from the
different ports on the Western and Southern waters
organize ourselves into an Association to be styled
the Union Association Of Western and Southern
Engineers, that each Association represented in
the Grand Union Association shall be allowed to
have its own peculiar and distinctive features pro
vided they are ia accordance with the constitution
of the Grand Union Association) as the different
localities may require, and that the Grand Union
Association meet once year, or whenever the
local Associations may deem it necessary, at such
time and place as shall be agreed upon for the
purpose of discussing such matters and deciding
upon such measures may be deemed of impor-
lance to the Western and Southern Engineers, in
each port to be represented by Engineers, who
shall be duly elected by their respective Assoca-
tons. According to the purpose of the Association,
to unite and promote our interest, to elevate our
character and responsibility in every capacity,
mental, moral and practical, we do resolve to
stitute steamboat engineering a systematic and
responsible occupation; exclusive, different, and
independent from any other, and which can only
be acquired by theoretical and practical experience.
