the Legislature, Mr.. Wilson haring receiced
about three: fttts Of the rOte in the lo,oer branch
and majority Of one only IN the upper branch
Of the Legislature!
With this evidence that our party in Massa.
chusetts IS rapidly being pnirged Of elements
hostile to the peace and quiet Of the country,
IT comes with a bad grace from our conglORa-
Grated opponents, TO charge upon our party
the election of Wilson, Free-Soiler, when the
election Of his colleague, Sumner, was previ-
ously brought about by combination Of Dem
ocratc and Free-Soil elements, in opposition
to Winthrop, conservative Webster Wing
Had Massachusetts proved conservative when
Sumner was elected, and had our party changed
the complexion Of the Legislature from con-
sentative to a Free-Soil body, there might be
some show of truth in the charge, that the
Know Nothings are responsible for the election
of FreeSoiler in Massachusetts,; but when
the ballottings at the time of Wilson's election
show a stronger conservative strength in that
body, than at any period since the death Of
Webster, the charge becomes as ridiculous as ii
is false.
And, in this connection, let it not be forgot
ten that Mr.. Wilson has distinctly stated, in a
published letter, that the question of Slavery is
not one, for the discussion or regulation of
which, the American organization in Massa-
chusetts was formed. That party, therefore, is
in no wise responsible for his individual opin-
ions, nor for his Senatorial action.

NOT BLACK SHEEP AMONG Us.
From the American Organ, March %, 1855.
As party, We entertain no questions affect
ing the existence of Slavery, leaving those who
differ on these matters, to settle them outside
of the organization, precisely as the Wing OF
Democratic party would settle them. But we
must here be permitted TO say, that we knotr OF
no man, and have heard Of no man inside ofouy
organization, who would sanction the principle
and purpose laid down by the Forney and Pierce

The election Of Mr.. Wilson proves nothing
achdterer, on the point of a connection or SYM
pathy between Americansm and Aboltionism.
For years past, Massachusetts has been Abo-
htionized. The American party arose, and in
creased in strength, gathering into its ranks
men of all political parties. Our party is form
ed for the avowed purposes of overthrowing
[ore'g''sa, Romanism, and Demagog,,ism
Tie question Of Siarery is not a subject Of dis
c~ssion an oar party. We are neither Po-.Sa-
rery nor INIT Siarery, as party. All classes
oil politicians mite with us, for the legitimate
purposes OF our association, as above named,
and each individual entertains his own private
opinions on all questions not embraced amongst
the doctrines of our party.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-04-19


We doubt not that number of the professed
Know Nothings in Maine are like those of the
same kidney who voted for Seward in New
York, but it is not true that the American
Party" at the North are, as a body, or to
any considerable extent, pledged to war upon
Southern institutions. As a party, they do not
recognise the question Of .Slare,y as a legitimate
subject Of discussion ia their councils. Senator
Wilson, who openly Processes to be Anti Slavery
in his feelings, expressly stated, in his publish,
ed letter, thai "hae question Of Slarery soas not
one Of those for tie regulation Of achich the
american organization IN Massachusetts scas

From The same, same date.
Or party at tie North is rapidly 6eco,oiuo

indeed, so far aShte purposes Of oar organiza-
ton are concerned, IL has 0erer been otherwise.
Under the influence however, of Free Soil opin-
ions. which have prevailed in that section, but
which our party have not hitherto regarded in
The selection of candidates, as forming a point
of difference, men have been chosen for public
station, whose pricate opinions are not in har-
mony with those of our Southern friends.
These results were unavoidable, and it could
not be expected that change of general senti-
ment throughout the whole North, on the ques-
fion Of Matchmaking our party, could be pro-
duced in tess G.an single year!
We are assured by gentlemen of the highest
intelligence and character, that, eoen IN lNassa-
ch,tsetts, tie former hot led of Abolitionisn,,
an oJoioHs and ertensire change has been ,crouqlt
by the -dmerican party and that tuelre

opinions Of her recently elected Senator, Gen
eral Wilson, on the question of State Rights,
and the power of Congress over Slavery in the
States, are by far more national more conser-
vatiye, and less Objectionable, than they had
been represented.
