E We ask the indulgence of our patrons
for the suspension of the American Patriot for
several weeks. This was produced by cireum-
stances over which we had no control. The
appearance Of the yellow fever in our town,
coupled with recollection Of the direful havoc
made in 1853 among our citizens, produced a
general stampede from our town. But we are

The American VS.. the Abolition Party.


The New York Mirror" one of the few papers
at the North that stand ably and nobly by the
constitutional rights of the South, and is a Know
Nothing organ to boot, says:
We admit. with sad oreboding that the South
is in peril; and that its present position and plos-
pective fate are calculated to excite compassion
even in the hearts of its enemies. The North is
crowding and encroaching upon the Southern por-
ton of the Union by daily aggressIons; and the
black tide of AboitioHisrn is rising higher and
beating harder against the peculiar institution ,
with every returning wave. The Mirror stands
in the midst OF the swelling flood island of
adanant IN the centre of an angry sea-and we
krow better than Southern Contemporaries
that the winds and the waves of Northern fanat-
iciSm are fierce and furious. They threaten to
sweep the landmarks of the Constitution, and TO
wreck even the Union itself"
Again it speaks what it knows in the follow
ing paragraph:
But when Southern editors impu.e to the
Know Kothings of the North sectional creed
that must inevitably lead TO dissolution of the
cOniederacy, they are entirely at fault. So far as
we Judge. the Know Nothing or American
party. is eminently national in all its principles
and in its purposes In iact only hope for the
salvation of the Union rests with this new organ
ization. who are determined to know no North
no South. East. 10 West-uothing but our
country and our whole country" Our Southern

tween their enemies and their friends The

This is the opinion of all impartial and right
