TIE AMERICAN PARTY OF NEW YORK.

We have already referred to the conservative
character of the ticket selected by the recent
American Convention at Auburn, New York
We find in the Albany Evening journal, an in
huential Free-Soil organ Of the Empire State,
the following confirmation of the views ex-
pressed:
Whatever ambiguity there may be about tie Bingham
ton platform the Nebraska question, the American
nominations leaves further room for doubt as to the
position Of the Order. Messra Clark, Gushing and
Whallon Hard She'll Democrats Messrs Hesdley,

Better evidence Of the national spirit which
animates the American party of New York
could not be desired. The Albany Evening Jour-
nal, next to the New York Tribune, is the ablest
and staunchest friend and supporter Of that arch,
unscrouplous and dangerous enemy Of the South

Seward It has never finched-never faltered
in the pursuitlof that one policy. As the needle
is true to the pole. so has the Albany Evening
journal been true to Senator Seward. And we
| may say that its unswerving friendship is en-
titled to admiration. while We utterly abhor
the nti-republican anti national and monstrous

Of Senator Seward, is connected with the edito-
rial department of the Albany Evening Jour-
nal! He, very likely, penned the foregoing
quoted paragraph. Could clearer proof Of the
patriotism and national spirit of the Americans
| of New York be brought forward:
We think not When o leading Seward or
gan expressly states that the, nominees of an
American convention are men who have never
been identified with Aboitionism who have
never declared -ss themselves hostile to the adj
mission of Kansas and slavery; p and ticket
composed of such men, is of such character
that South Carolina could support it, without a
suspicion Of its being tinctured with Sc Free
Soil,' we conclude that it is the best ticket that
has been presented to the people of New York
for many, many years. AS Southern men,
thoroughly devoted to the interests Of the South,
we desire no better evidence Of the fact. 1t is
conclusive; and every man acquainted with
New York politics and Seward Abolitionism,
| will understand the application. The Seward
men never oppose any ticket that they can use,
in any manner. They will fuse, combine, or
compromise, with everybody and anybody, II
| they can advance the grand, sole and exclusive
object at which they are aiming--the election
Of Mr.. Seward to the Presidency of the United
States. Last year they used the temperance
Maine Law" people of New York to re- elect
Mr.. Seward to the Senate. The temperance
men were fooled; Mr.. s. was elected; and an
imperative prohibitory law passed. Then the
liquor men were denounced as monsters .No,c,
they are quite respectable people The sinner
is getting to be almost a saint And so they
practice. The alpha and omega of their poll
tics means nothing more nor less than the con-
version Of every question, every ism, and every
influence that may arise, into an instrument to
further their designs, no matter how shameless
Il the means resorted to
But when party or q principle arises that
the Abolitionists cannot use, then their oppo.
sition is unbounded. The bitterness of their
denunciation surpasses anything known to the
annals Of politics. They talk and breathe
nothing but gall and wormwood, and seem tc
take fendish delight in torturing every patri.
otto emotion and every noble principle into its
| opposite. Without regard to truth, history
honor, fairness, or q solitary elevating senti-
ment, they strive to crush-recking not how, SO
they only succeed.
From the very start of the American party in
this Union, the Abolitionists have been its most
embittered enemies. Before it was out Of swad-
ding clothes they stroye to strange it. While
it was in its cradle they discovered that, if il
was allowed to grow up, it would prove the Her.
oules that would annihilate their pestiferous
organization
And, in sooth, they were correct in their
apprehensions. The American party of the
United States is the only obstacle in the way Of
the success Of their nefarious schemes-the only
party which can prevent the election Of William
Il. Seward to the Presidency! Well may they
hate that party; but, as their hate grows
deeper and eblacker, all patriotic men should
rejoice and rally around the only party which
bears aloft the yet unsullied banner Of the Re-
public
These facts should sink deep into Southern
hearts; should be pondersd over profoundly and
periodically. There is much involved in the
discrimination of the question. 1t is all-im-
portant, and, for our part, we are unable to
discover how any true Southern man can, con
sistently, aid in the defeat of party against
| which the most venomous shafts Of Abolitionism
are continually launched
1t seems to US that what the Aboltionists
seek to destroy, should be an object of preserea.
tion with Southern voters. The Abolitionists
are straining every nerve to destroy the Ameri-
