The American party, II true to themselves and
the principles they have 80 nobly sustained In the
late elections viii il j. TO be presumed 50 into the
House on Monday fully prepared and determined
to pay Just tribute to their countrys honor, and
to yindcate themselves and their national consers
atism, by presenting firm and bold front TO any
and all opposing influences. 1t is not to be sup
posed for a moment, that in encountering the hos
tility of the political elements then and there 80
very likely to be used against them, they will es
cape without contest, perhaps an absolute strug-
gle with discordant and dsorganizing plans to elect
Speaker Attempts may be, and probably will
be made to render their strength powercss and in
efficient by efforts to create division of opinion or
sentiment upon mere questions Of expediency or
policy; therefore does it become the more neces-
sary and indispensable that a calm and unbroken
front be maintained and that they present TO their
enemies wall Of steel, firm and mpenetrable TO
every assault.
Magma est yeritas ct pr@ualebit. You are right
my fellow-countrymen, aud the people are rapidly
coming toyour support, and sustaining you In your
patriotic efforts to Americanize institutions,
and to bring them back into the paths Of justice
and honor. Bear aloft your banner Of invincibity
and inscribe upon its ample folds the word Union.

TAKiss PosITIos.-Joe Doyetail had a
strong-minded wife. She looked upon Joe as
a sort Of necessary evil, treating him very much
as the lady did her husband on the North River
steamboat, who ventured to object 1, some of
her arrangements for travel, when she shut him
up suddenly by telling him, in the hearing Of a
dozen passengers--
"Why, what is it 10 youi II had known
you were going 10 act 80, | wouldn't have
brought you along"
But Joe and Mrs. Doveiail never travelled.
They we're slways Al hcme, though Joe was
rarely seen there or elsewhere. She had long
trained him to the habit Of retiring under the
bed when company called, and SO familiar was
he with that retreat, il was a question whether
in default Of personal service, warning to
militia training would hold him unless lefl un-
der the bed, as being his "lsst and usual place
Of abode" During the stay Of Mrs Dovetail's
friends, he occasionally thrust out his head like
a turtle, but one glance Of his spouse would
send him under with cold shivers running ur
his back. One day as she was hobnobbine
over the FIRE with friend and social glass, Jo,
thrust out his figure head, and deiied the shakes
and irowns VI his wife, till, growing valiant ant
desperate, he sang out
