SAMUEL Q. BUsEY, Eoi'0fs'
Plan Of Organixati0n.


The Richmond Enquirer of yesterday pub
fishes and approves the Plan for Oryanis-
ing tho House Of Representatives, which was
originally published in the New York Herald
of last Monday week, and more recently copied
and concurred in by our worthy neighbors Of
the American Democrat We are by no means
surprised that. the Richmond. Enquirer lauds
this plan" We have heretofore expressed
our belief that the adoption of this "plan' by
the Southern members of our party, would re-
suit in giving the organization Of the House to
the Forney and Pierce party, and extend their
power for another term.
The sagacious editors Of the Richmond En-,
quirer are doubtless influenced by the same
conviction, in their approval Of this plan, and
the fact Of their approving it, confirms us in the
opinion that its adoption would result disas-
trously to the American party. But our
worthy neighbors Of the American Democrat
assume that unless this plan be adopted there
must be a coalition with the Seward men. They
say in their issue Of this morning, as follows:
eff the American party coalesce now with the
Sewardites, the consequence must be the election
Of Seward Is there any American who looks so
short distance beyond his nose, not to see that
anything Is preferable to such contamination as
this? Suppose the great bug-bear ofthe Oryan--
the reelection Of Pierce-be not what every re-
fecting man must be convinced II is an absolute
impossibility. Is there any man belonging to the
American party who would not prefer him TO
Seward?"
In response to these views, we have to say,
that we know ONO one who proposes to +" Goa
lessee with the Sewardites." We have heard of
no such movement among our friends here
Yet upon this "bugbear Of coalition hangs
the necessity, in the opinion Of our neighbors,
for union with the Democrats. They say
"If we unite with the conservative Democrats,
we may lose the Speaker but we save the party.
It must gather strength and we must triumph in
the end, even though we be defeated now"
We do not believe in the policy Of any union
with the Democrats, nor do we believe that
any proposition has been or will be made to
g coalesce with the Sewardites." We agree en-
tirely in the views Of the Louisville Journal as
thus expressed by its talented editors, viz:
1.-The administration representatives will doubt
less endeavor to take advantage of any disagreea-
mcnt between the Northern and Southern Ameri-
Americans may either unite with the Democrats,
or they may avoid any entangling alliances, and
attract to themselves the conservative men of both
the other parties, and thus secure. the Speaker
themselves This latter course is certainly the
wisest, and win be productive of great good to the
American party, and of lasting benefit to the ma
ton" ~
Let the conservative members of the Ameri-
can party bring forward some conservative
Americans as officers Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives and sustain them, and they will Eat
tract to themselves the conservative men of
both the other parties and thus secure the
Speaker themselves"
The Louisville Journal thus continues its re-
marks:
An eppoEtqnty il thas sSrd lid fA6 tba p sssy
will take their position as americans, and not as
Northern and Southern delegates-if they post
pone the settlement of the Kansas matter until
after the organization and go to work with proper
spirit in reference solely to the establishment of
the great National American party, they win dis
appoint all their opponents, and place the success
OF the party In the Presidential campaign of 1856
beyond question. The interests Of the country,
the principles of the American party, demand such
action on the part Of the American Representa-
tives"
We advanced similar opinions in our issue
of Monday last, and we are happy to know
that they are approved by every member of
the American party, with whom we have con-
versed since their publication.
