Ibid not expect to address you and
your readers again for some times but the glorious
triumph which has crowned the labors OF the A.
merican party Of Yazoo, has so delighted me,
that beg leave once more to address you and to
mingle my sincere congratulations with those of
your many friends for our signal victory over
Sag Nichtism, Anti-ism, Hish-ism and oil the
other odds and ends of all the old exploded and
new tangled isms that are opposed to patri.
otism and Americanism. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, it is ignoble to glory over fallen foe
but in this instance, it is natural, it is human, it
is noble for us to glory. The American party of
this county has fought nobly all through the cam
vass against odds that nothing but the most in
domitable courage and perseverance could have
overcome-against an enemy that had no honor
no faith. aud no principle. We fought not on
y tor principles and love of country, but for very
narvcuucs, and ruffians with which we had to
contend, we could expect no quarter If they BY

against Americanism, there are no principles sn-

the hilt against tho simple dpctrie of Ameri-
ans ruling Am,rca The self styled Democratic
party organized OF no other principle but to ar
ray our foreign population against the native

The American party Of Y 100 was at frs. ccmpos-
ed of nine hundred out of twelve hundred votes in
tie Count~ All rushed into it and as.we took in ma
cause they were in some instances old broken
down party hacks that had run down in the old
parties and couldn't be elected Constants or

cverywhere they thought to get Offices and SO were
thorns in our sides until they bolteI. Not one

be l,ng to tell aud sad to tracaal the windings and
twisings 10 the course of inlamy that the Sag

The devil when he tempted our first mother
never resorted to more artful lies to brig about

iugly specimen of humanity who follow ed the ex-
ample of the ia-famous McKiunon and was
among the first OF the boilers went out among
the farmers who are far from the thoroughfares.
where his lies could be detected before he ac-
complisbed his object,and told them the Order
/ was bursted up in Yazoo C.ty-that it was found
to be an Abolition trick and that all the Demo-
Gratis had gone back to the old organization.
They said if that was the case they would go back
also. He then pulled paper out of his pocket
and asked them to sign it; they did It n It know
ing the use he was going to make of them.
