Ag The following extract from the lead
er" of the Kosciusco Miss Chronicle, Of the
3Oth ultimo, win be responded to by every true
American heart:
'0ld party politics, and sectional strife and dis
cord, are fast losing their influence, and the names
Of Wing and Democrat are being imnerged and
lost in the great american partyf Ameriea,i
feelings more unanimously and more extensively
reign in the bosoms Of American citizens, and the
doctrine that Americans shall rule their country
is fast becoming the doctrine OF every true Ameri-
can, who would maintain and defend the constltu-
ton as il stands the Union ii is and the rights
of the States as guaranteed 10 them. The union
Of Church and State, and the restriction of relgi-
GUS liberty, principles of poity long since rep
rotated as antrepublican and dangerous to the
maintenance Of our liberties.
"Never was the political condition Of our coun-
try SO fully the theme Of American citizens as at
the present time. Never did American feelings
reign so generally, American patriotism beat so
warmly, and the American cause triumph 80 proud
ly as at the present time Never, since the days
Of the Revolution, have the words of the immortal
Patrick Henry, We must act We must all act
The signs of the times call aloud for action" de-
mand the consideration Of Americans more imper-
atvely. What the coming year may develop il
yet to be SEEN Its scenes are yet to BIO acted and
be Of triumph for patriotic cause, of honor
for our glorious institutions, and of prosperity for
our happy country"
Y We copy the following from tho Re-
publican, published at Jacksonville, Florida
The growing tide Of foreign emigration, whose
waves lash our shores like the surges Of the Allan
tic--the fawning subserviency which marks the
acts of political aspirants, in their intercourse
with this foreign element, virtually teaching the
exiles Of tyranny that they have come to our land
to govern, not to be govened-the ignorance, and
pliability which characterize The mass upon which
they work to attain their selfish ends-the degene-
rating influence which this state of things is draw
ing around our most cherished institutions, have
struck chord In the American bosom which viii
virbate throughout the length and breadth of the
land, echoing the prophetic assurance Of Washing
ton, that /" foreign influence is one of the most
5anefui foes of Republican Government"
Many of the Democratic presses Of the country
have affected contemplate opinion Of this new
party and have prophesied its humiliation before
the next presidential election. But its foundations
are too deeply laid, its principles too greatly in
unison with the beatings of the American heart, to
admit of an early downfall and those who have
scoffed at its first slow, but sure progress are
destined to bitter disappointment, which, indeed,
is already being foretod by the results Of elections
in different parts of the Union, where the Know
Nothings have exhibited a strength which has as
tonished all, and none more than the adherents of
the present administration.
That a party so young should be perfect in all
the particulars Of its organization is not to be
pected. There are imperfections which time and
experience alone can amend, but its cardinal doc
trines are sound the principles upon which it
is based, and offer sure foundation, whose firm
ness will defy the Vaccinations ofpoitical dema-
gogues Of whatever creed.
