New York senatorial Election.

We were yesterday credibly informed that
the Forney and Pierce party in the Legisla-
ture of New York, having no hope Of electine
Senator Of precisely their oon stripe, are
busily at work aiding and abetting the Seward
party in drawing off professed " americans
from the support of national man of our
order for the Senate If Mr.. Seward should
be reelected to the Senate, it is our firm be-
lief he win owe his reelection to the Forney
and Pierce party. And, Of course, II Mr. Sc
ward shall be reelected, the presses Of the
same Forney and Pierce party win cry out at
the top of their voices that the Know Nothings
of New York have elected this "higher law
advocate, and win point to it as pretended
instance Of sympathy on the part Of the Know
Nothings towards Mr. Seward
Mr.. Seward may perhaps be reelected, but
we venture to say that no National Know
Nothing win give him his vote.
II is stated to us, that the son Of Senator
Seward and one of the editors Of Mr.. Thurlow
Weeds journal, at Albany, Is an officer in the
bogus Known othing council, at Albany; which
organization, as we have heretofore stated, was
formed to promote that Senator's ambitious
views It is by no means improbable that a
coalition formed by the Forney and Pierce
party with this bogus set Of Know Nothings,
may result in the success Of Senator Seward.
IL would be entirely characteristic were these
elements TO unite together TO defeat "Ameri-
canism.n

Hon. Kenneth Rnrn.r.

We publish from the Raleigh Star, an clio
quent and patriotic speech, delivered in tn,
Legislature Of North Carolina by the Hon
Kenneth Rayner, on the question Of erecting
a monument in Philadelphia, to commemorate
the important event Of the Declaration Of In.
dependence, and to perpetuate the memories Of
those who signed that instrument, on the hal
iowed spot ,ohcre the glorious act was consuna-
mated Most certainly it is fit and appropri-
ate, that national monument should be erect
cd in "Iadependence Square" The chaste
and beautiful speech Of Mr.. Rayner will doubt
less be read with great satisfaction, and we are
mistaken II Il does not arouse the patriotism Of
every American" and prompt him to aid in
this work Of gratitude and justice,

Spread of American Principles.

No one who has closely observed the signs Of
the times for several years past, can fail to have
been convinced that something was necessary to
protect the country from the Vaccinations Of DEM
sgogues and mere party leaders, who were moro
intent upon their own advancement, than the good
Of their country Party, before the country, has
been the practical watchword Of those who have
been actuated by desire of selfpromotion and Of
agitation for selfish ends, rather than purpose to
see the Union preserved by respecting the rights
of all sections. .. t,I ifs.
To put down agitation, to "crush out" the agi-
ators, to bring back the rule Of law and order, 10
push forward the country in her career of prosper
ity, and to guard against the dangerous and radi-
cal tendencies Of the foreign element that has for
some time been SO rapidly sapping the foundations
of our nstitutonsthis is the mission of the great
American party. These are its aims, and because
il is actuated by such motives, it is rapidly spread
ing over the whole country, from Maine to Califor-
MIA and now embraces within its folds much of the
patriotism and conservatism Of the country. Tho
people have risen in their might to put down poll
ticians and political demagogues, and it does not
take the eye of prophet to see that this move
nent will sweep over the whole country, with such
resistess power, as to break up and utterly ami
hilate all those organizations that are banded to-
gether to secure mere party success God speed
1t in its patriotic work Raleigh Star.

Church Property.

Mr. Putnam, in his speech in the New York
Legislature, in advocacy Of the church property
bill, now before the Legislature, laid down the
following propositions:
l. The State should have uniform policy in re-
lation to the tenures Of church property.
3. That the concentration Of the power which
would be vested in the clergy by allowing them to
hold the title Of consecrated grounds, is antago-
nistic to the whole theory and policy Of our gov
eminent s@ #
8. That it would tend to restrain the rights Of
free worship and of conscience.
4. That It would tend, by the acquisition Of
power In the hands Of the clergy, not legitimate to
their Office asspiritual teachers, to some of the most
fragrant evils resultant from the union Of Church
and State.
5. That such acquisition Of real estate in the
hands of the clergy is dangerous to free institutions
and leads to all the mischiefs which the English
acts of mortman have for centuries souEht to pros
tect "
