Prescription at HOme-psrti.an Ma,iepitv

Verify the men who held the destinies of
this mighty Republic are capable of descend
ing to smaller things than any set of individu-
ais, with or without pretensions, that have
ever figured in the city of Washington.
The last exploit which has come to our no.
tice is the removal of E. d. FARNswoRrH of
this city, from the Office of Local Inspector of
steamboat bulls. The salary of this Office is
$500 per annum. The reasons for bis reno.
val are, that, in the elegant language of the
Sag NIGHT papers, he is renegade" Dcmo-
crat. No charge of incompetency or inatten-
ton has been preferred, nor could there be
with any show Of justice. Capt F. is a gen
tleman well qualified from long experience, to
dscharge the important dutiSof this Office,
and has discharged them with acknowledged
ability and impartiality. But be has dared to
think for himself. Upon the political topics of
the day he has had the independence TO form
has OUn opinions, and his answer to the VIgi-
lance Committees of the anti-American party,
appointed during the last canvass to redeem
the ''renegades," was, invariably -" Gentle
men, am twent one" Not even the most
potent influences of the opposition caused him
10 swerve from his position. In the eyes of
Mr.. Pierce and Secretary Guthrie, who re-
ward treason and repudiate the freedom of
thought and action, such manliness was an
objectionable sin, and the little government
officials of this city, who watched the recu-
SAINTS, and took notes of all their ingoings and
OutcomiRgs, knew that their petty malice
would be grati6ed by their masters in Wash
ington, when they tattJed about Capt. Farms
worth, and demanded his $500 year for one
of their own ilk. No matter if he is honest,
If he is capable-these qualifications have gone
into disrepute since the days of Jackson, and
that other question must be answered, is he one
Of usf Even the proper enforcement of the
law, and a regard for the safety of the travel
ing public, are considerations which have no
weight in this case. The man who dares to
disobey the behests of the antocratic party
now ruling in Washington, must be taught
that he cannot do 50 with mpunity.
Strong indeed, must be the ties of party,
and inveterate the prejudices of partizans,
when they look upon an administration SO
belittliDg itself, and repress the expression of q
freeman's contempt

me Mass Netting in Rutherford.

We regret exceedingly that circumstances
entirely beyond our control prevented us from
amending the gathering of the American Party
OF Rutherford on Saturday. We learn from
a friend who was present during q portion o.
tie day that it was one of the finest meetings
OF the season. The crowd was large, and
every thing conduced TO make the occasion
agreeable. The opening speech was made by
SAM. P. AMENT, Esq., of this city. He was
followed by Hon. john BELL in a mastery and
convincing argument upon the American ques-
ton. Our informant left at the close of Col.
Bells speech. We are forced to defer full
account of the proceedings until it is publish
ed, as ii doubtless will be, in the Murfreesboro
Telegraph.

over-A few Words about Forms and Secresy.
MR. EDIroR-No careful observer can have failed
to remark how cautious the anti.Americ4n papers
have been in discussing the real principles of the
American party. The true issues involved In our
platform have been left almost untouched, while
Fictitious representations in regard to them, and the
'secresy," forms and ceremonies of the "Know
Nothing Order" have constituted the great objects
of assault.
There seems to have been all along foreboding
that those PRINCIPLES destined to prevail, with
a watchful lookout to which way the wind was
going to blow; and at present. there is strong ind
cation of preparations to fling sail so as to catch
the popular gale.
The general action Of the different States Of the
Union following the spirit which evolved our glo
rious constitution-wit reference 20 the great
American movement; the earnestness seen in elicit
ing the true sense Of each separate State on every
point, that full expression from all may be bad for
confederate action at the great National Convention
and conviction that such action will embody the
American principles in a form at once acceptable to
each and conservative with respect to all-this ap.
pears TO have operated nightly In swakng the oppo
siton TO full consciousness OF the inevitable enden-
cy Of things and Of their true policy relating thereto
And while they are ready to parade any trifing
differences on minor points that may have been
expressed by State or Local Councils, and profess
great delight at what they can construe as indca-

&c, { as though these constituted the points At

up as loudly aud vehemently " FoR the American
movement As l. has been 'sgainstn Isl We hare

Not only have the principles Of the American

So much for the 5eginsing. What do we hear
now? Why, an effort to prove that the 'distinc-
tive features" OF the American organization or party
have been abandoned. Is it possible then that the
opposition can see no longer, any distinctive fea-
lures in those objects and principles which they
have hitherto sriven so hard to misrepresens Have
they nothing longer to fight against, to denounce,
or to exasperate foreigners upon? Are they ready
to assume themselves the very features which We
have regarded as peculiarly distinctive, from what
they have hitherto appeared to be contending for

creed, contendng that they only warred against th'
