the organ Of the American party of that
city. in an able and forcible article on the
proceedings of the Philadelphia COnven-
tion, says:
We have given the different platforms
of the late American Convention, held in
Philadelphia, careful perusal. and must
say that the minority one adopted by the
members from the Northern States, is the
only one upon which the Americans OF
Pennsylvania ran unite. Ii the Ameri-
can party Of Pennsylvania desires to
maintain its supremacy, it must come ont
openly and above board. and appeal in
language that can be understood. againS,
the encroachmentS OF the slave power.
True, every word of it-and what Is
said of the American party in the old Key
stone, will apply with equal force to the
party in every state north of Mason & Dix
on's Line. Whiggery split upon this
rock of slavery-Democracy bowed it's
knee to this Southern idol, and there ism I
a respectable sized grease-spot left Of it,
and such must be the tate Oh every rarv.
or organization that ignores this-the on
ly question of Importance before the
American people.
There isn't the slightest use of talking
about National party until this question
is settled. The whole entire North, with
the exception of here and there man,
is Anti slavery TO the core-that is, viii
ling to let slavery alone where it now eX-
lists, but opposed to its further extension
while on the other hand, the South is
equally determined to maintain slavery
where it is, and use every means, even tc
the revolver and bowie knife, to force il
upon soil now free. One portion OF thC
Union struggling for the supremacy o
Liberty and Education-the other for the
triumph of Slavery and british Ignorance

these opposites.
There is now but one course left for the
American party of the North. Let them
give up the idea of National party-!et
them como out open and above board
take "No more Slave States" for theil
motto, nominate their man, and stand o.

the South is fed the n ore it wants-ther'
is no limit to its rapacity. The Fngltlv'
Slave Law did not appease it, the Nebras

making Kansas and Nebraska Slave state
it will be but the stepping-stone to som
new outrage. "INould you have pure
