PL TFORM
OF THE
A M = RIG A N PARTY,
OF LOUISIANA,

OF LOUISIANA,
/. We advocate an amendment
of the Naturalization Laws, with proper safe.
guarps to preserve the purity of the elective
franchise.
2. We advocate the passage of
such laws as will prevent the immigration of
pauners and criminals to this country.
g. We oppose any interference
in the vested rights of all persons, whether
they be of native or foreign birth.
4. We are in favor of non-in-
tervention with slavery by the Federal Gov
crnment, except for the protection of our
constitutional rights.
5. We advocate a high Nation
al Policy, such as will afford stern and un-
wavcring protection to the American name
abroad, and will follow and guard the Amer
ican citizen wherever he moves.
6. We believe that America
should be governed by Americans, efecting
the same through the ballot-box alone, the
only legitimate instrument Of reform in this
country.
7. We believe that the office
should seek ths man, and not the man the
office, and shall oppose the distribution of
office among Office seekers, or as reward
for partisan services.
8. We will maintain and de-
fend the Constitution of the United States
and the Union as it now exists, and the rights
Of the States without diminution, insisting
upon faithful performance ON the part of
the General Government of all the duties en-.
joined upon it by the Constitution.
9. While we approve of the
platform adopted by the late National Coun-
Gil of the American Party at Philadelphia,
we reject the application of the principles of
the eighth article to American Catholics, as
unjust, unfoundcd, and entirely unworthy of
our country, We shall forever continue to
protest against any abridgement of religious
liberty, holding it as cardinal maxim that |
religious faith is question between each in
dvdual and his God. We utterly condemn
any attempt to make religious belief test
for political Office, and can never affiliate
with any party which holds sentiments not
in accordance with these.
10. We war with no party as
such, but shall oppose all who oppose us in
the advocacy of these great American prin-
ciples

The attempt to lay the submarine tele.
graph from Cape Breton to Newfoundland
Is by no means abandoned. The gentle.
men engaged in the enterprise are ssnguine
of success, and only await the return OF
another warm season TO repeat their en-
beavers, a. the months Of June and July are
the only ones when the wire can be laid
with safety. In the meantime . settle
ment will be made with the London insu-
rance companies respecting the lost wire.
which will either be restored or it's loss
compensated for. A to the ultimate re-
coyery Of the wire there is said to be no
question, as one end remains fast to the
New foundland shore, and with the aid Of
suitable mechanical apparatus it may be
drawn in. Its entire length is forty miles
and it's weight 100 tons. The land portion
Of the line extending from Cape Ray to st
Johns, a distance OF 400 miles, is very near
completion, 30 that the next steamer from
that direction is expected to bring inteill'
gence of its completion.-N. Y. Times.
