DoucLAs JEhRoLD's OPINION or THE ANEnicAN
PAarY-Tn the columns Of Lloyd's Weekly
Review, edited by Douglas Jerrold, one Of the
ablest writers Of the age, we found the fol-
lowing interesting article. lie says:--
Parties are many in America. They rise
like mushrooms and fade like mist Every
Presidential election brings crop of Them
they rage for day-are heard Of for week
--snd forgotten in a month. Such are the
Stewards and the Fillmoreits--the Hards and
the Softs, and many more. These come up
with certain men, and fall ont Of tight when
| the tnen do so. Other parties remain--like
the Free-soilers and the Pro slavers, because
they represent ideas-personify q conflict
which are permanent on the American soil.
Most Of these parties are we'll known IN
| England, and they are all worth studying.
for the politics Of America are the politics Of
the future. As the French diplomatist OBJ
served the other day. u Apier est Angio-Saron.
The latest party in the Union is the party fa-
cetiously known as the Know Nothing party
"a name which the party accepts In the large
spirit Of contempt in which the Puritans re-
ceived their historical designation. All things
considered, the Know Nothings are the most
impressive development of American life
| Hitherto, America has been refuge for the
outcast of all nations-the Apme. Of all who
dfrom debt, from tyranny, rom starvatfon,
from justice. 1t has received all-rejected
none. This was grand experiment-but has
only partially succeeded.
Some of the mmigrants-especially the
1rish-brought mischief with them-evil pas.
sions and bad habits; and as all were admit
ted to political power-to vote at elections
public men had to stoop to their basencss to
get support; and hence a lower style of pub.
lie morals became the rule in large towns
The Know Nothings who comprise the most
intel ectual and prosperous men of the Ameri-
can democracy--soy this evil must be stayed.
Their cry is, "America for the Americans."-
And surely this cry is reasonable as "Italy
for the Italians" or Hungary for the Hunga.
rians." The new party is a protest against
Irish political prohigacy, and against jesuit
influence in America. They seek to deprive
the immigrant hordes of the means of mis-
chief. Their motto is "Protection to all
Power to the American born"
