American Principles Triumphant.

In another column will be found the authorita-
| tive declaration of principles laid down by the
great American party, who have just closed their
labors in National Council, in Philadelphia, which
we most earnestly commend to the consideration
of every reader. The platform is based on sound
constitutional doctrines entirely acceptable to the
| whole South, and we are happy to say, fully en-
dorsed by the great States Of New York and Penn.
sylvania New Jersey, Delaware, and several Of
the Western free States, will also, we have reason
| TO believe, unite with the nationalized party in
carrying out the great principles of American free
dom which are laid down in this Second Declsra-
ton Of Independence, declared on the 10th June,
Ammo Domini, 1855.
We need not say that we are rejoiced at the re-
suit ofthe deliberations of the National Council 1t
Ia glory enough for one day" to realize that they
have succeeded in de-abolitionizing the order by
compelling the Northern wing of turbulent and
disorganising factions to vacae their Seats and HE
| back to the dens of pollution whence they came.
Had this been done before the Virginia election,
the infamous treason of Massachusetts, would not
have given the renegade Wise the victory of the
Old Dominion. That treason by reputed Know
Nothings was neither milestone which dragged
the American party in Virginia down to the dust.
Ii paralyzed the whole American party South for
a season. but thank Heaven, the day OF deliverance
dawns, and the sunlight of glorious summer be-
gins TO light up the horizon from the Hudson to
the Rio Grande. s
The deadly incubus has been remoyed--the party
is redeemed, regensrated and dsenthraled"
from its leaden connexion with northern factionists
and can now rise up and clothe itself with the
beautiful garments of life, hope and salvation
From this time the word Is, onward and upward
The order can throw off its mystery and stand
forth, living breathing representation of all that
Is noble, pure and patriotic in Young America.
Its swaddling clothes can now be laid aside, and
instead thereof, it can take the place of cham
pion of freedom, and bearing the arms of a man,
ready to /" do or die" In the cause it has espoused
We but speak the words Of truth and soberness,
when we say that the sec ession OF Massachusetts
and other States from III e Grand Council Ia the
best thing which could have happened II they
had remained and effected an acquiescence In the
National Platform, they " ould have smothered the
child "Sam" In their sacrslegious embraces. As It
Is he Is free 10 20 forward in his labor Of love and
fulfil his mission. Lea the enemy pirate about
'thare-ups ''spts,n &C., TO their hearts content
such split as that which has just occurred is
like to the splitting Oh, by the surgeons knife Of
the diseased and gangrenous ulcer that threatened
the life Of his patient. Without the excision,
death was the sure result with II, the body be-
comes sound, healthful, and vigorous. Again,
therefore, we say, 40 7H,mphe."
Douglas JerroId,s Opinion OF the American
Party~
In the columns Of Lioyds Weekly Reviyw, ed.
tied by Douglas Jerrold, one pf the abest writer's
Of the age we found the following interesting arti.
Gle He says:
Parties are many in America They rise like
mushrooms and fade like mist Every Presiden-
tial election brings crop OF u iem-they rage for
a day-are heard for a week, and forgotten in a
month. Such are the Seward, and the Fillmore
ites--the Hards and the Sohs and many more.
These come up with certain men, and fall out Of
sight when the men do 80. Other parties remain,
like the freesoilers and pro-savers, becsuss they
represent ideas--pesonify a confict--which are
permanent on the American soil
Most Of these parties are well known IN Eng.
land and they are all worth studying, fbr the
politics Of America the politics Of the future
As the French dplomatist observed the other
day--L'Avenir eat Angio-Sdron. The latest par
ty In the Union Is the party fscetiously known as
the Know.Nothing psrty--s name which the par
ty accepts in the large spirit Of contempt in
which the Puritsns received their historical des-
ignation All things considered, the Know-No-
things are the most impressive development Of
American life. Hitherto America has been a
refuge for the outcssts Of all nations--the homo

starvation, from justice. II has received ALL

but has only partially succeeded.
Some Of the immigrants especially the Irish
brought mischief with them-evil passions and bad
habits and as all were admitted TO public power
10 vote at elections-public men had TO stoop 10
their baseness 10 get support; and hence lower
style Of public morals became the rule in large
towns. The Know-Nothings, who comprise the
mos intellectual and prosperous men Of the Amer.
lean Democracy, say this evil must be stayed
Their cry IL, America for AmericansiS And
surely this cry Is as reasonable ss Italy for the
Italians" or " Hungary for the Hungarians." The
new party is protest against Irish political profit
gacy, and against Jesuit influence in America
They seek 10 deprive the immigrant hordes Of the
means Of mischief Their motto is" Protection
