produced in Boston,
rational Truths. -Institutions at war with the
principles upon which the fundamental law of
country arc based, can never be permanent, and
even while they endure, they are disturbing causes
tending to cvil-not good.
The fundamental law of this country is based
upon democratic republicanism, acting through
Representatives with definite powers, democratic
ally mot locofocally chosen
Whatever differences may exist among the va
rous sovereign States as to rights Of citizenship,
the country viewed as whole, recognizes only the
democracy of free, white male citizens.
Any attempt to create distinctions of caste among
the free, white male citizens of the United States
is anti American, and destructive in its tendency.
Citizens may be legitimately divided into parties
by their opinions, but not by their rank.
Hence to confinc nominations to the membership
Of any particular organized body, open or secret
is aristocratic, anti-Amcrican and unpatriotc.-
Still more so is to confnc such nominations to
the graduates Of certain degrees of special eleva-
ton. There can be no higher claim upon an Amer
lean Party than a well tested, practical faith in
American Principles.
| There are but two questions proper to be asked
Of a candidate of the American party:-viz
| 1st- do you profess the American Principles?-
3D. Can you give us satisfactory proof that you
have practiccd and will continue to practice what
you profess? Whether inside outside
whether of the old Guard, or a recruit, all who
can give such satisfactory and convincing proof
have claims which cannot be UNCHANGED by any
membership or any graduation; and the American
people have right to chose their representatives
from the whole mass of those ,cho can GRE such
proof
Any thing which einbarrasscs this free choice
tends to gross corruption, lift were not born of it.
Keep these views before the rank and file ofthc

You see, we are very particular about the quality
of our medicines, and before VIC sell any, we test
every parcel You would be required to take six
or seven ounces Of castoroil some days, with few
doses of rhubarb, alocs, Croton-oil, and similar
preparations. Some days you would not be re-
quircd to take anything; but as a general thing
you can count upon-say from six to ten doses
of something daily. As to the work, that does not
amount to much-the testing department would
be the principal labor required Of you; and, as
said before, it requires person of very healthy
organization to endure it, but you look hearty
