These results were unavoidable, and 1t could
not be expected, that change Of general senti-
ment throughout the whole North, on the ques-
ton Of Matchmaking our party, could be pro
duced in less than single gear!
We are assured by gentlemen Of the highest
intelligence and character, that, even In Massa-
chusetts. the former "hot-bed" Of abolition
ism, an obvious and extensive change has been
wrought by the American party" and that
twelve months will not roll round, before our
party win be thoroughly nationalized. The
views and opinions Of her recently elected Sem
ator, General Wilson, on the question of State
rights, and the powep Of Congress over slavery
in the States, are by far more national, more
conservative, and less Objectionable, than they
had been represented.
Indeed, on these questions, they are precisely
the opinions Of the strictest sect Of Southern
State Rights men, and are in happy contrast
with those ultra Abolition sentiments, promul-
gated by the Ohio democracy, on the 9th of
January. and whose resolution we have repeat
edly published.
Proclaiming these opinions, as General VIII
son does. of a strict adherence to the rights OF
the States, we may ask with manifest propriety,
that no BE- not Judged IN Advance, as to other
questions, which may or may not hereafter
arise, and upon which, aOhen they arise, he will
doubtless be prepared to cast his vote, under
the obligations he has assumed, to sup
mort the Constitution of the United States
We repeat, that we believe our party in Mas
sachusetts win be thoroughly nationalized
within the present year, and that the descend
ants of the heroes Of Lexington and Bunker
Hill, win be found side by side with the sons
those who fought and conquered common
foe, on Yorktown heights.
AS to New York, we have the most album
dant proofs that our party there, is already
purged of the bogus class, and Of those whose
treason was made manifest, in their alliance
with Seward Forney, and Pierce, in the late
senatorial election at Albany. The reading
public have doubtless already seen the state
ment Of Mr.. Moses Games, describing hisre
ton at State Council Of our party, recently
held at Syracuse.
The aati-American presses have copied
the statement, to show, what they consider the
harsh treatment of Mr.. Eames, by our party.
We copy it for different purpose, to wit: to
show how the American party in New York
GUST those who were members of the Legisla-
ture Of New York, who voted for w. II. Seward,
and who prefsssed to be genuine Americans"
Mr. Eames was professed Know Nothing,
was a member of the Legislature, and, con-
trary to his pledges, and his duty, had voted
for Mr. Seward He had been elected rs a
delegate to the Grand Council Of New York
and entered that body, and was called on for
explanations Mr.. Eames, publishes the mat
| tor, and says:
aMr. Barker informed the Grand Council that
would make explanations in relation to my vote
cast at the last election While was proceeding
to do So one of the members asked me for whom
voted for United States Senator? When re-
Piled VIM. 81. Seward, it created great excite,
ment in all parts of the hall, Some twenty or
thirty, more vehement than the rest, rushed for
ward to the platform, kissing, stamping their feet,
| gnashing their teeth, extending their arms with
clenched fists, crying out with countenances
flushed with excitement, Traitor Perjurer,
Liar, Villain and other epthets, accompanied
| with the exclamation, Hustle him OUT Down
stairs with him. Throw him out of the window y
| 6e.
"By this time the meeting was In a complete
uproar The presiding officer could not control
those present, and declared the meeting adjourned
| for one hour There was then general rush for
the platform where was standing Some of the
foremost seized my collar, but, by the eIertion Of
a few personal friends, 1 was saved from further
violence by being with great haste, escorted down
private stairway, while others closed the doors
and kept back the mob. When | reached the
street. Mr.. Barker advised me to go to my hotel,
and not to show myself about the place, but TO
leave the city in the first conveyance. Having no
other business to attend to, took the advice, and
left Syracuse in the first train"
We are opposed to all violence in the adjust
ment Of differences, bat we do not hesitate to
say, that Mr.. Eames merited the treatment
which he received. The point however, to
which we call public attention is, that the
American party" in New York are deter
mined to get nd Of those who, in violation Of
| their pledges, sustain abolition agitators for
public station

man from their hall because he ooted for
