Americanism Nothing New.

The American Party represents no nov
elites in its creed to the Republican, The
Federal Constitution, made in 1877, and
signed Geo. Wa>hiugton,' is a Native
American document all over. Even the
"Foreigners," that helped to make that in
strument, and fought shoulder to shonlder
with our farthcrs, from 1776 TO 1888, had
the sense and judgement TO see, that the En-
ecutive Branch OF the Government-that
is, one-third of it, as q Legislative Branch
with the power Of executing the laws be-
sides, must be "native," and they insis-
ted upon it. They gave that 'naive" Ex-
ecutive the power Of originating and making
treaties, and they put in his hands exclu-
sively the Army and Navy of the United
States, when called into action Ivy the Uni
ted States. The presiding officer of the
Senate must be a''native," too-that presi-
ding officer, who presides over that branch
of the government which ratities treaties.
impeaches Judges, and makes all ''confr-
nations Of office, and thus holds indirectly
all patronage and Federal power. Our
fathers, too, gave Congress the power tc
make 'uniform naturalization lawS"-and
so took from the States TO give to the FEEDER
al Power the right Of making citizens ci
foreigners at ALL Upon the qualification Of
Senators and Representatives in Congress
our fathers also imposed certain "native'
elements, which go great ways to keeE
authority in American hands. What i,
worthy of note, foreigners themselves, il
1887, all saw the justice of, and the neces.
sity of, these restrictions. Such foreigner:
as Albert Gallatn or Switzerman, cheer,
fully concurred in them, though they nigh
cut them off from being President or Vice
President.
Now, if the children of the Constitution
in 1855, carry out the principles engrafte,
upon the Federal Constitution in 1887, the,
present nothing new, though there is littl
more danger OF foreign influence in 1855
with half million OF foreign immigrant
coming here annually, than there was i
l7S7-,-with only some twenty or thirt
{ thousand. ...
So then the American party is no ''ism
, no new light-no noyclty-no oddity-

slaveholding States. Mr.. Bates would be,
in the best sense of the word, National
President and would labor to bring back
the Government TO something like its origi-
nal purity. Acknowledging an entire res
possibility to the people for his own official
acts, he would not interfere with, nor die
tate 10, coordinate branches of the Govern
ment. Holding the Constitution ard the
law, in strict reverence he never would be
found appealing TO "Any higher law" to
evade the performance of any obligation i'm
posed upon him by the law. The whole
tenor Of his public and private life has been
so severely just, that the people the North
as well as the South, Of the East as well as
the West, could unite upon him with the ut
most confidence in his fidelity TO the social
and political institutions of the country
The truth is, he acknowledges no such dis
tinctions as we have Just named, and if he
were elected, all the excitement which pre-
vades the country upon the one veXed ques-
ton would disappear. The election of such
man as Mr.. Bates is called for by the dan
ger which menaces the Union, if an altra
man-an unprincipled man should succeed
Mr.. Pierce, and we shall take every proper
occasion to urge his election to the Presi-

Suicide of a Missourian Z.

A short time since, man calling himself
DR.. John Wilkin, arrived on horseback at
Burlington. Iowa, and put up at the Nc
Cutcheon house. Soon after his arrival he
sold his horse and commenced spreeing.--
On Wednesday he went to a drinking house,
and pulling out gold dollar to pay for the
liquor he had drank, remarked that it was
all he had, ''and when that is gone will go
too,' About dark his cap and coat were
fourd floating in the river opposite the land
ing, and the coat having Eeen dragged ashore
there was found IN the pocket a memoran-
dun book, containing letter addressed to
Mrs. A L. Wilkn, Bloomington, Mo-, of
which the following is copy:
To my dear wJe and children:
AMANDA: | am miserable in this life.
have spent all the means brought with me
to this place. want YOU to do the best YOU
can for those sweet children and yourself;
can be Of no service TO them or YOU. | am
resolved to drown myself, and try the reali-
ties Of another world. Comment upon the
why's and whereiorcs is unnecessary, as you
know more than | can write. May sod
protect and bless you all; farewell.

band, JOHN WILKIN.
October 9th 1855.
In this act | commit my body to the great
deep, my spirit TO the God who gave it.
| therefore have but little TO fear from man.
Another letter was also found in the co {
addressed to ''Thos. Wilkin, Esq, butcher
Creek, P. O., Iowa, the person to whom il
was addressed being supposed TO be the ia.
ther of the suicide. The body had not been
found at last accounts.
DR.. Wilkin formerly resided in Hunts
vile, but for several years past has been 1
resident of Bloomington, near which place
he married.

red with bcacons of perilous fore warning,
where there is disregard Of them.
If intelligent foreigners among us now in
1855, would only initiate the spirit of the
foreigners Of 1887, we should have no
troue with any of them. To save their
adopted land, they must see that it must not
be thrown open to the scum of all Europe,

Interior of Sebastopol.

WEDNESDAY,, Sept. l2th.-lt is delight
ful to abandon the old heading, The Siege
of Sebastopol," which for the last eleven
months might have been sterotyped, but it
is not clear what is to be put in its place,
for the enemy, having abandoned the south
side, seemed prepared to defend the north
side, and TO erect there another monument
of engineering skill and 10 leave there the
memorials of their dogged resolution. The
wonder of all visitors to the ruins Of Sc
bastopol is dividcd.-thev are astonished at
the strength of the works, and that they
were ever taken: they are amazed that men
could have defended them SO long with such
ruin around them.
These feelings are apparently in opposi-
ton to each other, but glance at the place
could explain the apparent contradiction
1t is clear in the first place that the fire of
our artillery was searching ont every nook
and corner in the town, and that it would
become utterly impossible for the Russians
to keep any body Of men to defend their
long line Of parapet and battery without
such murderous loss as would speedily an
initiate an army. Their enormous bomb
proofs, large and numerous as they We're,
could not hold the requisite force TO resist a
general concerted attack made all along the
line with rapidity, and without previous
warning. On the other hand the strength
of the works themselves is prod digous.-
One hears our engineers feebIy saying
'they are badly traced" and that kind OF
thing, but it is quite evident that the Rus
sian, who is no match for the allies in the
open field, has been enabled to sustain the
most tremendous bombardment ever known
and an II months siege; that he was rem
dered capable of repu'Sing one general as
sault, and that subsequent attack upon
him at four points was only successful al
one, which fortunately happened to be the
key OF his position; and the interference i,
/ that his engineers were Of consummate
ability, and furnished HIM with artificial
strength that made him equal to our best eff,
forts. The details of the French attack
will no doubt have been made public ere
this letter reaches you. 1t is sufficient tc
say that of the three or four points attacked
the little Redan and the MalakolT on thu
right, and the Bastion Centrale and the re-
entering angle Of the Flagstaff Work on the
left, but one was carried, and that was
closed work.
The great Redan, the little Redan, anc
the line of defenses on the left were not Ia
ken, although tie attack was resolute an,
the contest obstinate and bloody Tor both as
sailants and defenders. Whether we ougl
to have attacked the great or little Redau
or to have touched the left at all, is anothe
question which is ventilated by many, bu
) which it is not for me to touch upon or de
p eide, II is certain that the enemy kney

From the No. Republican.
The Presidency.

The Liberty Tribune declares itself for
Millard Fillmore for next President, and
the Lexington Express seconds the motion
with hearty good will The last named
paper entorces It's recommendation by using
this language:
ga nomination may be gratifying to those
who cannot reach public favor in any other
way, but as for Mr. Fillmore he needs no
nomination except that which he has already
received in the great heart Of the nation

didate from the field. Mlard Fillmore is
RO,c a candidate ton the Presidency, subject
TO no caucus or conveniou-subect only
to the will Of the people"
No doubt the Express is sincere in what
it says, and Mr. Fillmore enjoys a very
high reputation in alI'the States of this un-
ion. He has been nominated by more pa
pers, too, perhaps, than any other gentle
man who has been named for the Presden-
cy in 1856. But we do not thing it Il fore
gone conclusion that Mr.. Fillmore, for this
reason, ought TO be preferred over all others.
We think that candidate may be found to
whom less objection can be urged; and when
this is the case, and he possesses all the
virtues and the qualities Of craftsmanship
which belong to Mr.. Fillmore, his preten-
sions may be put forward and advocated
For ourselves, we are not for the first
time to oannounce our preference for a gem
tleman of this State for that office. We be-
lieve that Judge Bates stands in better
position, this day, TO unite the people than
any man, Wing or Democrat, Know Moth
ing or Abolitionist, who has at any time
been named for the office. He is, therefore,
our choice for that hi gh station.
If the editor of the Express will look at
Mr.. Bates position and standing, he will at
once see good reasons for our opinion
Mr. Bates name has been for many years as
/ luIllllluI us HOuSCHOlu NuIu " lllG people
of this Union. He is never spoken of but
with admiration for his fine attainments-
his sincere patriotism and devotion to the
Union of the States-his love of, nay, his
reverence for the Constitution, as it came
from the hands of lis framers-his freedom
from ambition fer office, having shown the
rare merit of declining the highest posts ir

He believes there is virtue enough, anc
