We proclaim to the World the following
PRIKcIPLEs OF THE AMERICAN PARTY OF ONO.
l. The unlimited Freedom of Religion dis
connected with politics-hostility to ecclesias-
tcal influence upon the affairs of Government
equality Of rights to all naturalized emf
grants, who are thoroughly AmeIicanized, and
owe no temporal allegiance, by reason of their
religion, higher than that of the constitution,
II. No interference with the rights of citi-
sensbip already acquired by foreigners, and
the protection of the law to all who honestly
emigrate from love of liberty; but the exclu
sion of foreign paupers and felons, and a refu-
sal to extend the right of suffrage to all who
come hereafter until they shall have, resided
81 years in the United States, and complied
with the naturalization laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed exclusively of foreigners, and to for
eign military companies, and to all attempts 10
exclude the Bible from schools.
". Slavery is local-not natiOnal:-we op-
pose extension in any of our territories and the
increase of its political power by the admission
into the Union any Slave State or otherwise;
we demand of the General Government an i'm.
mediate redress of the great wrongs which
have been inflicted upon the cause of Freedom
and the American character by the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise, and the iutroduc.
ton Of Slavery into Kanzas in violation of law,
by the force of arms, and the destruction Of the
elective franchise,
Y. In humble imitation Of the wisdom Of
Washington, we oppose all Intervention in the
affairs of foreign States; yet on all proper oc-
easions We will not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free.
vi. We support american industry and
genius against the adverse policy Of foreign
nations and facilities to internal and external
commerce BY the Improvement of Rivers and
Harbors, and the construction Of National roads
uniting the various portions of the Union.
VII. The Union OF these States should be
made perpetual by faithful allegiance to the
connttution;
VIII. In State policy we zealously advo-
cate retrenchment and reform--a modification
of the present oppressive system of Taxation.
and a liberal system of Public Schools.

TWILIGHT.
By EMILY z. ASHFORD.

Ny wife; the while / love thee much,
Imsy not call the fair
For times most sure though gentle touch
Is on thy silver hair;
Yet, could ny wish recall the tine
When thou aud were young,
When merrily our marriage chime
Its happy music rung.
When laughingly thy loving eyes
Flashed back the summer light
And like the flush on morning skies
Thy bridal blush was bright
IwOuld not lose one treasured thought
OF all those happy years.
One memory, with thy gadness fraught,
Or haIOWed by thy tears.
The sunset glow,-and evening shades,
Are mingled in the sky,-
While TRANQUILITY asday light fades,
The hour for rest drawsnigh;
And, like the summer day, our life
Gides gently to its close;
Together we have toed my wife
Thus, let us wait repose.
What though some passing storms have swept
Athwart our sunlt sky,
I've dried each tear thine eyes have wept
ThOu'st shared my faintest sigh;
Nor can wish the heaven above,
Had all been calm and clear;
Then, had we mover found in love
A spell SO strong to cheer:
But now thourt thankful for thy friend
aud bless God for tnee;
Sopeace shall brighten to the end
Like moonlight on the sea;
So,-when the dark hours come at last
We'lay us dowu to rest
To find when night hath briefly past
0urmorning still more blest.

Foreign Language in Common Schools

Foreign Language in Common Schools
Why should American people be taxed to
educate the children of portion OF our foreign
citizens in a foreign language? Why not put
them upon an equality with the children of A.
mercan citizens? We think that this country,
and in our Common Schools, the peoples col
leges,' the American language is COED enough
for all. We hope this system will not be con-
tinued, but let all our children be on COM
mon level in education. This will break down
all self-inAated aristocracy and love of foreign
ism. Thus equality and socialintercourse will
soon Americanize all foreigners, not only in
regard to education; but many other subjects
of great Importance.
The introduction of foreign language into
the Common Schools cannot be claimed as a
right, for the same principle would admit all
languages represented in the country, and re-
suit in the confusion o. Babel. But it is at
variance with the object of these schools. The
public school system was designed to benefit
the children, and not to CRAFTY the national
prejudices of foreign parents. Their children
are destined to become pillars in the American
republic, and the government now owes them
an American education--Ne wton's Express.

On the other hand Mr. Roebuck, who par.

when throughout the length and breadth Of
