is on the best of terms with the slayeholding,
'lash-driving,' tobacco chewing negro over
seers'-dining and supping with them at all times,
on just as good terms as be was with the Bloom
ers, and negro men and women In his own home
at Auburn, The negro has got to be a pretty
considerable hnmbug used North to make aboli-
tionists--used South to make stronger slave
holders
The remark Of our North Carolina CORE
spondent is literally true, that the administra-
ton party has "lost all its capital, except mig
gerism.n This is their watch-word" They
secretly aid the election of such men as Sc
ward, and then turn to the South--present mig
gerism as their argument, and claim Southern
support on this basis
We oppose such arguments, and will expose
such political trickery. The" american par
ty" soiU not interfere soitA negro SLAVERY, and
the Forney and Pierce presses believe in no
such design on our part They have no other
capital stock on which to trade, or they would
not offer such miserable merchandise in a
Southern market.
If we know anything Of the purposes Of the
American party" we have frankly and fairly
presented them in our prospectus, and in our
platform Of principles. To agitate, or to inter
fere with the question Of slavery forms no part
Of our purposes, as party.
Individual members Of our party cherish
their own opinions, and viii individually main
tain them, on any and all questions, outside our
organization. The American Reformation"
which we seek to advance, does not embrace
any local questions, or local measures. The
evils we seek to remedy are natonal-our
measures Of relief will DO national and their
operation will be national, not sectional
Recurring to the questions connected with
the election Of w. H. Seward, we repeat, that
the american party" had.not the power to
defeat his election. The bogus Know-Noth-
ings" held the balance Of power-they had been
fraudulently elected to sustain him, although
pledged to their constituents to vote against
him, and thus his election was effected. The
following article from the New York Express
| of yesterday confirms our views:
"a FoREGoNE CONCLUSION The reelection Of
Mr.. Seward to the United States Senate, it was

ocratic Irish Roman Catholic hard from this CITY.
There were twenty other like Democratic voters,
under like Influences ready to vote for Mr. Seward,
if their votes had been wanted
ALI old party organizations are now utterly
broken up in this State, Mr. State Senator Dick
inson has given out in the Legislature. The Ro-
man Catholic influence, ever so powerful in the
Democratic party in this State from its heavy for
| eign vote, owed Mr.. Seward great debt of graft
tude, which It straining itself to its utmost to
repay.
The one hundred guns fred in Albany, were
guns well deserved. 1t is great victory over the
American feeling Of the State and the country
and the one hundred guns even are not loud-mouth-
ed enough to tell the whole oft. That the irreg-
ulars and the militia Of the Know Nothings viii re-
muster and appear in the field again stronger than
ever there is no doubt-but the present victory is
not the less great for all that"
Well and truly does the Express remark that
the election of Seward is great victory over
the american feeling of the State and the
country"
Let no man nor press hereafter assert that
this election is chargeable to the American
party. 1t is solely chargeable, as we have here
tofore stated, to the treachery Of the bogus
Known othings, and to the undeniable and
well-established coalition between them and
the Seward Wings, and Forney and Pierce
Democrats.
The proof on these points is overwhelming
and irresistible
In connection with this subject we publish
to-day several letters between the regular
Known Nothing Councils and some Of the men,
bers of the Assembly of New York, from which
our friends and readers win plainly perceive
that the American party in New York used
their best endeavors to induce their Represent
atives to vote against Mr.. Seward Hundreds
Of such letters were addressed by the various
committees of councils to such members Of the
Assembly as professed to be Of the " Ameri-
can party" but these allies of Seward, Forney,
and Pierce, nevertheless consummated their
treachery. These letters are interesting. Others
will doubtless be published.
fB~ Our neighbors Of the Washington Sen
tinel will be attended to on Monday. We re-
ceived the Sentinel too late to notice its article
to-day. Weare most happy to hear from them.
We take this occasion to do that press the
justice to add, that it did publish the Ohio
anti-slayery resolution, which has not yet APP
pcared in the Washington Union; and that the
lSentiners first denunciation thereof was bold
and manly. 1t seems to us that the tone of
that press, on that point has, however, very
materially changed 1--WE NAV be rrrnnrr hut
