A new era is at hand--an era which will be char

Shall we trace the causes Of this spontaneous and
universal uprising OF the masses OF our c0untrymen
The evils incident to the indiscriminate immigration
OF foreigners into our country-the consequences Of
permitting such immigrants 70 ENJOY the right OF
surage-and the degrading effect of elevating for
egners 70 p0sss o. honor ana trust under our gov
ernmenti al these have been seen and known to our
people for years past, and yet until non, with few
exceptions, the American people have seemed TO be
pnd 10 the progress OF To,ssgaasna IN the land We
need not on tne occasion Of presenting this c.rcusdr
prospectus 70 the country assign the causes for this
sudden ana general manifestation OF the purpose OF
the American people TO take tho rcins OF govern
ment INTO their own hands; u Is sulhclent Tor the
oDee1 Ops we nave now IN view 70 sase inc undeniable
ana obvious iact tnat such purpose erasts.
We now come forward TO present TO our fellow
citizens the mode and means of concentrating the
opinions and of harmonzing the action of those who
are disposed to unite in the formation Of an liner,
cda party" whose purpose shall be 10 find remedy
for he manifold egs schicA haze come upon US, and
WlA are yedrly increasing under the Disastrous ope
ration of eur lacs of aatafdlixationl We propose to
establish In conformity with the wishes OF thousands
Oh the cizens OF TINS District ana OF large number
OF our friends IN tne diuerent states, daily and
"ecAy paper, 70 De oanea
ihE AMEhloAN ohGAN.
The publication viii commence on the 18th day Of
November daily, and on the Goth weekly.
caM capital amply sufficient to commence and
to continue the enterprise, has been subscribed and
secured TO be advanced by q number Of wealthy and
influential gentlemen; and we are insured daily
circulation surpassing that OF any paper now pub
weekly subscribers will depend upon the enthusiasm
of our friends in fhe several States, but have such
assurances that we cannot doubt we shall commence
with many Thousands and that year viii not trans
pire before our weekly list will be swelled 10 more
than one hundred heusdnd.
Our position at the seat Of the federal government
the centre Of our political system where all the rep
resentatves Of the States and Of the people annually
assemble and where prominent men OF all parties
periodically sojourn for many months, ia considered
by us and by friends as the most favorable one
for the publication Of the ORGAN or THE AnrmcAs
PARTY; and II the most untirng devotion TO the sd-
vocacy Of the doctrines and policy Of this party shall
give us claim to its support we know we shall de-
serve, and we trust we shall receive II. @
We cannot perhaps more distinctly and concsey
define the basis which the american Organ is es-
tablshed than by presenting the following extract
which we copy and adopt from an address OF former
President Of He Missouri Ndtips 4nq1icdn Associd-
ton, and published at St. Louis in February, ls4l, TO
