laid on th table to be held as rod over
our back, in humour to treat. The
result is, hat we have sold our paper and
ourself our Of the party. Although we
leave the order, yet our views have un-
dergone ne change. The objects for which
the party was originally formed. are no.
BILE and praise-worshy. Il an American
citizen we declare. with q whole heart,
that there has never beeN acita.ed pub
lie measure which has 50 enlisted all our
spmpathies as the American reform That
the naturalization laws should be modi-
fed that Priestly interference with our
Public Schools should be staid TINT
stringent measures should be adopted
whereby tic papal countries of Europe
should be estopped from landing upon
our shores their paurers ard criminals,
We still hold to, as questions of vital inn
portance to every American who has the
manliness TO say
This Is my own, my native land -
Bat that the American party under its
present leaders, either in this State or
County. will ever assist in the accom-

have not the lsast confidence The peo-

unfortunately they are in bad hands
They cannot comprehend. neither do We
expect to convince them, that they arc
ruled by gang of the most hollow
hearted lemagogues that ever disgraced
a party. In time they will make the dis
covery, and then. and then only, after
defeat and disgrace shall have driven
them from every battle field, will they
learn how basely they have been bctray

As the black Republicans. with horrid
grimaces, go down. down, down; far be-

still clinging to their rotten pisnks, the
American timber, unscathed by time and
its ravages, will be safely brought into
port, where, under the hands Of the A |
merican working men, a neat little craft
will be speedily fashioned; one that will
alike defy the whirlwinds of fanaticism,
the storms Of sectionalism. and the thun-
ders of the vatican.
But in the mean time We trust the Re- F.,
publicans will excuse US if we do every
thing in our power to hasten this crisis

death is already upon them, We deem it
as an act of humanity to aid in fastening
them to an unregretted burial.
With Mr.. SAWYER we have always
had the best understanding. and as m N.
aside from his politics, we wish him an
abundance Of success. And, although
we may differ in our views. We earnestly
trust that this may never interrupt the
