There was an assembly {rnore numerous than usually
meets this parsh) to hear Randell Hunt Esq deliver
one Of best abest and most telling speeches. that has
been made in North Louisians for many day. The
Antics had made their beast that Mr. Hunt would not
pease the people, and that his speech would rather
than benefit the cause but alas to their sad disap
pointment, the worthy of the Crescent City con-
gnced them before he took his seat that American pru
cples meet with warm reception among Americans in
any locality and that knew batter than he how to
impress them upon American minds. After the coneu
sion OF Mr. Hunts eloquent and unansWerable Speech
we repaired to the festive board which Madison gener
GUS sons had beautifully spread with rich and stable
refreshments After INDUCING in this wholesome and
sumptuous repast,we adjourned aocoun of rain, to
the Courthouse, to listen to reply from Mr. Psrham
but 1t was reply II like the Of indstinc
and distinct sound to the volcanic peal Of the angry and
uttering thunder We have taken all into the Order in
this parish but the Office seekers the ncorrgbe and the
disappointed yet the truth powerful as MI Hunt
told IT, that four five converted and enrolled In

Col Christy able and effective speech gave the
history of the formation of the American party its
inception to the present time showed the necessity Of
the formation and existence of such party to
protect country from foreign
emigrants; their utter incaracity for sefgoyerpent

IN Y. Express.
The bitterest inyeotives that have been
heaped upon the American Order have come
from the Abolitionists of the North. They COM
menoed the work Of abuse when the organiza-
ton was in its infancy, and when it was ex-
tremely doubtful whether it ever would assume
formidable proportions. They hated it even
when they were in ignorance of its objects and
have continued to sillify and abuse it up to the
present moment. All of the organs of Seward,
Sumner, Chase and Hale, make it labor Of
love to misrepresent the American party; and
do not hesitate to declare, On any and every
occasion, that it must be put down, or else the
Abolition cause will be ruined
In the South insulting as it is to the intelli.
genee Of the peoples trading politicians and
office. seekers do not scruple to denounee the
| same party North as being in league with the
Abolitionists-as being in partnership
with their earliest and direst enemies!
| Was ever political Inconsistency so shameless
| so reckless, so utterly careless of upright deal
| ing In Ia political experience of many years
| duration, We have never known party, or ar
assemblage Of individuals claiming the name o
party, to be SO much distressed as to be com
| PEELED to resort to such wretched subterfuges
| Our opponents must be in desperate condition

miserable expedients to prop up their fallin,
fortunes. Their ship is going downtown
and hence, we suppose, the cry 'sany Port in
storm" caring not whether it prove the havel
of falseheod or of truth.
Such dishonest tactics will inevitably prov
beneficial to the American party in the lon
run. Truth is mighty, and must and will pre-
vail over deception and Misrepresentation
Already We begin to see the effects Of the reeoil
which will continue to enlarge until the 9th c
November next marks their triumphant an

The WAR OF THE REVOLUTION NOT YET DE-
cIpED--It will be seen by the following, which
we find in the San Francisco Herald of recent
date, that the news of that declaration of peace
which put the seal to our national independence,
has not yet reached the utmost limits of our
great country, and that portion Of our bar
berous but faithful allies are still carrying on
the struggle, with full determination, no
doubt, to fight it out to the last. We hope they
may succeed in wiping out King Georges friends
entirely; and really one would suppose our Gov
ernlnent could now afford to assist them to that
desirable end. Here is the Herald's account of
the matter:
For several years past, 8 deadly feud has existed
between the indians residing the frontiers Of the
American and English settlements on the North Pacific
The Indians residing within the English territory
known as the king George Indians from the fact that
they believe that the celebrated parsonage whose name
they bear still liveg aud sways the destines of North
America They call the Americans residing the from
tier Boston and upon the Indians who reside
within the territory as their allies rights con-
SANITY occur between these Indians when the canoes
come in contact outside of the fishing grounds,
where both parties generally raternse and spend the
time in feasting and merriment Outside OF the charmed
circle of the fishing grounds they are deadly enc
mics and wage war of exterminaon against each other
Recently party Indians residing within the territorial
limits Of the United States went on hshing excursion
but wrecked upon the northern coast Of
Island They were immediately seized by the King
George Indians aud murdered sixteen In number IN cold
