A JudiciOus Suggestion.

In recent speech, delivered at Louisville,
(Ky.,) the Hon. Humphrey Marshall said that
in reference to the slavery question, were his
counscls to be followed, no Southern man would
be drawn of entrapped into the discussion
They would listen to the trades Of the aboli-
tionists and meet them with their votes. He
would not countenance the discussion, and he
would not afford it his countcnance under any
circumstances But there would be power
to arrest the ambition of those who sought to
elevate themselves on the struggle of Northern
Abolitionists with Southern Democratic fusion
Col Marshall expressed his determination to
| uphold the doctrines and principles of tho
American party--which he had adopted on
mature reflection, and believed them to be the
doctrines and sentiments Of the founders of the
Republic"
This is the true policy, and if it be carried
out during the present session Of Congress,
agitation will cease. Angry discussions effect
no good purpose, but furnish fuel for fanati-
csm. Let those who manifest so much alarm
at agitation, cease to discuss questions which
threaten to divide the States of this Union, and
soon will the fanatics, disorganizers and dis
unionists be stripped Of the very means, which
they 30 skilfully manage to inHame the public
mind.
Let the political maniac rail at the constitu-
ton which he has sworn to protect and sup
port and denounce the institutions Of the
country which has protected him in the en-
joyment Of all lawful rights. It is but the
raying Of mailman, whom sane man should
not heed, and whom, to be Quoted, must be
exhausted. Retort, reproach, and recrimina-
ton act but as stimuli, and not only renew the
excitement but aggrayate and prolong it. 1t
is folly to attempt to allay excitement to
quiet agitation TO arrest fanaticisn, by denun-
citation and mere defamation. Meet them if
we must with stern will and firm resolve to
protect the constitution, maintain tho laws,
and preserve the Union, at the same time d.
vesting ourselves of that which we condemn
In others, and which we seek to crush and de-
stroy.

indicate the success Of the Forney and Pierce
dynasty. Ultra Southern Americans seem de-
terrnined to make the slavery question para
mount to Americanism. If this be done, the
American party South are turned over to the
tender mercies of Forneyism. Hitherto the
South has only demanded +" to be let alone !"
no,o its leaders demand that Northern mem
beers of Congress shall not only let the South
alone, but that they shall surrender their opln-
ions upon the constitutional powers OF Con
gress, and, if they refuse to surrender their
opinions upon this constitutional question, they
are to be denounced as sectional and not ma
tional men!
How long Is it since prominent Southern
leaders maintained the inviolability of the
Missouri Compromise, and proposed to extend
II to the Pacific oceans How long is it since
Senator Atchison, Of Missouri, Senator Davis,
of Mississippi, and other Southern leaders, re-
PEELED the idea Of disturbing that Compromise
The Compromise was then constitutional lit
was marvellously wise and proper! But now,
lorsooth, if man will not allure his long
formed opinions on this subject, and pledge
himself to maintain the doctrine laid down in
the 18th plank Of the Philadelphia Platform,
viz that Congress possesses power under
the Constitution to exclude any State from adj
mission into the Union, because her constitu-
ton does or does not recognise the institution
of slavery as part of her social system" then
he is to be ostracised, and condemned as poll
ticel hereto, and elected from tho American
party
We oppose this ostracism, and we mean
ever to oppose it,--n0r do zoe dread the ttun-
ders Of aay political Vatican! We have
hitherto maintained, and always expect to
maintain, a liberation Of opinion ON the slaoe
question: We have hitherto published, with
prompt approval, and have adopted as a part
Of our political creed, the following resolution,
passed by the New York Convention Of the
American party at Binghamton, viz;
"Resolyed, That in the organization Of the Amer
lean Order the Institution Of involuntary servitude
was, and is, regarded local and not national
in its character, subject for the federation of
difference of opinion by the citizens of the North
crn and Southern States, and, as such, has no
lightfnl place In the platform Of the National
American party"
Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1855-12-03

How Lone WILL IT LAST THE Nashville Ga
zette asks the question, " How long will the Anne
rican party last 7" and answers, cas- long as there
is patriotism in our land; as long as an American
heart beats for It's country as long as our people
rally around home, principle, republicanism; as
long as the stars and stripes can catch the eye
and thrill the soul as long as the memory of the
great, the heroic, and the good of our fathers is
cherished as long as there is an enemy to our in
situations in the land as long as politicians insult
common sense, the rights the sentiments Of the
people; as long as office-seekers, like hawks and
vampires, hover about to plumber the public trca-
sure and pervert duty and service into speculation
as long as the words Of Washington have resting
place In our minds--so long win the American
party last" When the American party ceases to
exist, no appeal to tho patriotism Of the country
win be necessary. The foes Of the Union viii have
triumphed.

IsDIcrMEsr AGAINST AN EDrroR QuAsHKD-
Some months agoa paragraph went the rounds Of
the newspapers, stating that Joseph B. Dantworth,
editor Of the Weekly Republican, published at
Rock Island Illinois, has been indicted for perjury,
in presenting false affidavit of the circulation Of
his paper, with view of obtaining the post Office
advertising. The case came on to be tried re-
Gently, and the judge ordered the Indictment to be
quashed. II appeared from certain dispositions
offered that the circulation Of the Republican was
somewhat larger than the amount sworn to by Mr..
Dantworth in his affidavit.

The New York Tribune has the following d

The New York Tribune has the following de-
spatch from st. Louis dated 3oth November: p
1--WE have accounts from Independence to-day
stating that three armed Free-State men had
attempted to drive Mr.. Coleman, a pro-slavery
settler, from his claim near Hickory point. Mr..
Coleman killed one Of his assailants, when mob
gathered together, drove him and other settlers
off, and then burned down their houses. The
ringleader in this was arrested by Marshal Jones
and taken to Lecompton. Governor Shannon has
called. out the military. Many citizens from In.
dependence, Weston, and st. Joseph's have gone
to offer their services TO the Governor TO restore
order. The people Of Lawrence are in arms, and
have FIVE pieces Of artillery. number Of houses
have been burned in Douglas county, and several
families driven TO Missouri for refuge. The law
and-order people Of the Territory are rallying in
large numbers TO assist the sheriff in the exeou-
ton Of the laws. Sixteen houses we're burned at
Hickory point, and seversl Of the citizens were
missing

The Morgan County (Indiana) Gazette SAYS that
eight divorce were on the docket at the last
term Of the court in that county. Four were
granted, all for adultery except in one case. The
Gazette thinks this is rather bad indication Of
the state Of morality in Morgan. free Love- is
spreading Indiana divorce laws have made that
State asort of refuge for distressed married folks,
and every term they have more or leas of cases
brought by people from other States

Monday has come The hour Of 2, P. NJ,
has passed. Congress has assembled, and for
the first time in many years true, pure,
genuine American sentiment is represented in
the National Legislature. The dim light Of
the anti American faction fiicxers and casts
sombre shade around its shattered base The
Legislative officials throng the hotels and other
public places, all anxious to serve another
term. They seem careworn, and as hungry as
the wolf which prowls about under "the cover
OF night" rending the midnight air with its
hideous cries. Fear seems TO have overpower-
cd them. How plaintivcly they .enumerate
their many virtues and many wants, and count
at fingers ends the many little urchins, who,
with open mouths look to them for sustenance
and support Obi what piteous lamentations.
One thinks the ponderous door will refuse to
turn on its hinges, unaided by his magic hand /;
another deprecates any interference with the
present postal system, and doubts the consti.
nationality Of taxing the Treasury with Ameri-
can mail service. A third forebodes the GER
tain dissolution Of the Union unless the en-
blem Of peace is borne by his side; and the
fourth, poor fellow, asks only an endorsement
Of his clerical abilities, but seeks disguised as
man, to thrust himself into the treasury.
We hope the agony will soon be over, and
that these suppliant tools Of power will be
consigned TO political retirement; yet candor
compels us to admit that the indications are
favorable TO their SUCCESS.

and South, and the newspaper correspondents
in this city, who are office-holders, have for
weeks past indicated, by authority, the prefer
ence of the administration for Mr.. Orr. The
selection Of Mr.. Richardson, who is known to
be the right hand man Of Senator Douglas, is
indicative Of the yweakness of the admins
tration, and Douglas is pulling the wires for
Hunter, hence we interpret this selection to
signify preference for Hunter, on the part Of
the caucusites. How Buchanan,s friends will
take this is yet to be seen.
