stand, Howell Cobbs Georgia Platform, or
Prince Johns New York Platform; or will
it be fusion merely for spoils, and, If the lat

what provision is to be made for Forncy:

Nor will the Sentinel join in the Unions pro-

Union make bargain Certainly not with
the "lousy, God-forsaken, Christless, dark
lantern /" Americans. Then the Union must
anticipate coalition with the Republicans. 1t
matters not TO the Union with whom, so it
obtains the lions share Of the spoils.

The American Party.
LOCAL GRAND COUNCIL,
Cb1g{esk,,s. No,,e,nbev IN, 1Rf


WHEREAS, in the opinion Of this Local Grand
Council, representing the subordinate councils Of
the American Order in the city Of Charleston, the
disasters Of that party in the late municipal cleo
ton is attributable to causes arising from Its past
organization and from misrepresentation of some Of
its principles, as well as to intestine division
upon municipal policy and Offices and whereas,
also, this council has an abiding confidence in the
strength of the American sentiment and the just
ness of the reforms which II claims when properly
presented to an intelligent public and expounded
In public form; therefore
/. Resoloed, That this council recommend to
the subordinate councils in this city to disband
their present organizations and discharge their
members Individually from its existing obligations.
2. Resolved That this council recommend to the
State Council, and to the other subordinate coun-
ellis OF the State, a similar dissolution. ara
3. Resolged, That In the opinion of this Council
all secrecy In political associations any intermix-
ture (however misconccived) Of sectaran with po-
cal questions, and the administration Of caths in
party obligation, should be repudated and abari-
doned by the American party in this city and
State. E4 t
4. RESOLVED, That at propitious period when
party acerbity has abated and rational calm exists
a public movement should here be made In favor
OF essential reforms in naturalization and suffrage
5. Resolped, That while the American party OF
this community viii ever hold themselves sternly
ready, as Southern men, TO maintain in all exigen-
cies the rights of the State and the South, they
viii not ON the ono hand, commit themselves to
blind adherence to Federal parties or denomina-
tons, nor, on the other, urge, at any impolitic
juncture and for premature ends, policy which
looks to the disruption of the Confederacy, except
Gin the language of the Georgia platform) as "a
last resort

The Union in Trouble.

q There is rumor quito prevalent In the city
that the proprietors Of the Union are at log.
gerheads The senior editor was elected pub
lie printer with the understanding that the
heirs Of General Armstrong should share the
profits which understanding or contract he
has failed or refuses to execute in good faith.
A pledge was also given that Colonel Forney
should not, in any manner, be connected with
the Union, which pledge was disregarded very
soon after the election. We learn that the
Union is now in the market at private sale,
and if not soon disposed Of, will be offered at
public sale to the highest bidder. A good OPP
portunity will<hus be afforded to any patriotic
locofoco to invest his idle capital in % sinking
concern. Probably Colonel Forney has gone
to Philadelphia to raise the funds. Would
not friend Forrest help him and his associate
out Of the difficulty; and will not Peter G.
Washington levy another black mail' tax to
relieve his friends from their pecuniary einbar-
rassment? The money would be'better ex-
pended than at Faro" If the administra-
ton can raise funds to purchase votes in Mary
land, cannot Inappropriate a small amount out
Of the "secret service fund" to keep Forncy
and his associate in holiday attire for the
coming contestg
We give the above as a rumor, il it be true,
and we are rather disposed to think il is, or
else, probably, the "extra compensation"
would not have been so zealously sought after,
the Union can enjoy the benefit Of the ,adver-
tisement gratis. Even if we are "bloody
Know Nothings" We have little charity, and
take pleasure in rendering to ourneighbors our
assistance to find a purchaser In view Of GER
tain things, We should regret the separation Of
the "editor and his associate but both have
sinned much, and feastcd long at the govern
mcnt crib, and if now, while in their declining
years, they must part, we can only say,
5tf SEQ We in peace" q

LOUISIANA ELECTION. The smoke has at length
cleared away a little, and we are enabled to dis
cover who are the living and who the dead. The
returns indicate that the " unterrifed have again
triumphed in the State generally, including the
Governor, Lieutenant Goyemo-, Secretary of
State, Auditor, Attorney General and Superin-
tendent Of Public Education, and majority in
both branches of the Legislature. In regard to
Congress- the result Is scarcely less doubtful three
Democrats have almost to certainty been return
ed to Congress, and one American, viz George
Eusis, Jr., American, first district Miles Taylor,
Democrat, second district; T, g. Davidson, DEM,
third district; and J. N. Sandidge, Dem, fourth
district. The only district about which there can
be any doubt is the third: Pond, American, runs
Davidson very hard. Davidson is only about ninety
votes ahead with Tensas to hear from. 1t is barely
possible that Pond ID elected but scarcely proba-
BILE. So far as the political complexion ofthe Con.
gressional election is concerned, therefore, in case
Pond is not elected, there has been no change.
