Congress Of 1856.
Congress OF 1904,

Here is positive gain to the new organiza-
ton of about fifteen per cent. over the estab-
lished oligarchy which holds the State govern
ments in perpetuity, aided by the coin and CO.
horts ofaspoils Well done Amer
leans Of the South! GA little more grape" is
only necessary to success. AS with our an
cestors, a raw militia has met tho ridicule and
fury of a vindictive government, and although
not perhaps match for the. regular troops in
money, armament, or discipline the spirit
which animates the American militia is indom-
table, and will conquer, or overthrow that OPP
preston and unjust ascendency which has de-
livered the country over to sectional agitation,
which has resisted every effort at peace and
compromise-which charges you with hay
ing combined with the sectional enemies that
have unitel with the sham Democracy to as
sail you. #,-
The Americans have suffered much injury
from the unwllingness of the ancient Wings
to surrender their organization wherever they
had a local ascendency, and they have had to
battle against spirit OF malignity and Inisrep-
resentation that has manifested itself in no
other contest within our knowledge
It has been charged with having originated
i, the land of Van Buren, and Of Pierce 1t
has been charged with religious persecution;
with inhospitality to the alien. It has been
denounced for utilization with abolition, when
the American Union party has divided itself
by excluding all abolitionism from its National
Platform. These have been few Of the diff
culties which this new party has had to en-
counter
But the election Of thirty members to the
next Congress, pledged TO the platform Of sec
tional peace, will have an invaluable effect upon
those elections which are yet to take place; for,
assuming that the vote Of the Southern States
to be heard from shall only give the American
Order the opposition vote Of the last Congress,
there will be a compact Southern vote of be-
tween thirty and forty members. These are
pure Americans, pledged to the faith of the
Platform, opposed to Notification and Dis
union, in favor Of the Union and peace in one
word, true members Of the Union American
party. This compact and honest vote viii be
strengthened by those of the Orderin the North
who agree TO maintain the settlement section
of the Philadelphia Platform.
We then congratulate our friends at the
South, and the friends of the constitution and
sectional harmony everywhere, upon the ad-
mirablc results so far. We earnestly adjurc
our friends in Georgia, Maryland, and else
where to persevere; if they cannot carry the
whole Congressional State ticket, let them
remember that every vote gained is a stone in
the column reared to the perpetuity of the
Union; that it will be voice raised to pro-
tect the American citizen from the aggressive
intrusion Of ignorant and vicious aliens-that
it will be a significant rebuke of that ambitious
hierarchy, which, crushed by the ascendant
authority of rival despots in Europe, is de-
sirous of erecting its lettering throne upon the
ruins Of American liberty. Again, we say to
our friends, fight on; your cause is sacred,
and your ultimate success is certain.

distant papers on the riots Of Monday that they
are under the impression that there was but one
riot For their information we state that there
were two distinct scenes Of riot, that occurred at
different times and at distant points. The riot in
the First ward occurred about two o'clock and was
all over at IL o'clock that in the Eighth ward
began about six o'clock. The places are more
