The "A merDcan Party Or Ohio
sound Principles.

The "A merDcan Party of Ohio
sound Prjuciples.
We extract from the louisville Journal the
following platform Of principles, adopted u !
recent meeting Of the American pagfy Il Cin-
cinnati. We commend u 70 the attentive con-
|sideration Of .ourr readers as an evidence Of the
national Conservative feeling which anniaates
|the members Of our party, evenIn the Abolition
State Of Ohio. Let our readers compare it
with the platform laid down by the State DEM
|ocrutic convention Of Ohio. which assembled
on the sthof January last, and decide which is
most favorable tothe South.
We noticed yesterday the immense concourse
of the members and friends Of the American
party in Cincinnati, who, in response to pub
lished call from nine hundred Of their number,
assembled in the Fifth street market space
to decide whether they would abide bvsthe
action by the republican Stat Convention
which had nominated the Hon. s. p. Chase for
Governor. They decided by acclamation that
they weuld not abide by that acton, and an
nounced set Of principles that placed them 30
far as all future action is concerned, side by side
with the American party Of the Southern States.
They manifested deep and powerful sentiment
| IN favor of the preservation of the Union and
the maintenance of the guarantees ~ the con-
sttution; and this. sentiment we have not the
least doubt will spread and strengthen and be-
come the active and controlling sehtiment Of the
great mass of the American party Of Ohio, and
carry the State whenever the issue shallbe made
at the polls. - -.
The preamble and resolutions adopted by the
vast Know Nothing meeting at Cincinnati were
as follows:
! Whereas, the Democratic State Convention
| of the 9Th of January last, and the recent Con-
vention in Columbus, have failed to ayow or rec
ognize principles which we believe to be vital to
the welfare Of the Republic and our state;therc-
