APPEAL FOR UNION TO THE AMERICANS
BY KENNETH RAINER.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov loOO
Last evening at the Musical Fund Hall, Kenneth
Rayner of North Carolina addressed very large as
sembage, filling the saloon to overhowirg. Mr.. Ed
ward C.. Knight, the unsuccessful candidate for Con-
gress in the LIT District, presided.
Mr. Rayner was received with the heariest applause
on being introduced He reviewed at great length the
actual condition Of parties in the United States prior TO
the creation ofhe American organization declaring that
both the Wing and Democratic parties had become, in
measure obaolete because the important Issues on
which they divided had to end. In the struggle
for power both parties had trucked to the foreign
vote and created lust for office among the emf
grants almost ~ soon landed that called for the
establishment of new party the cardinal Princple OF
which should be toreque an extension OF tho Natural
ization laws. To meet this exigency the American
party was called into being, and ne detailed its
progress, denying the Islander that 1t interierod
with the religion of any man., no matter
how absurd they might believe its forms and OBJ
servances. The principles of the American party,
he contended are to afford protection aud not TO op-
pr ~ the foreignc welcome him 10 shores to
give him employment TO build our ralload and i'm
prove our country but to cry stand ba when he ap-
proaches the ballobOx or nterfere In the government
of the nation.
The speaker continued for nearly two hours in
exposition of the principles of the American party the
errors ard sbsurdties of the Ronlsh faith aud the
impudence of placing foreigners OF that creed at the
head of Bureaus when the secrets intrusted 10 them
are ALWAYS liable to be divuged at the confessional.
The object of the speaker known to be To persuade
his hearers to a combination of all parties opposed to
Mr. Buchanan on the Union Electoral Ticket, but he
approached that branch Of his argument with ereat
caution. He finally asked the question:" How, then,
"can James Buchanan be beaten in the election on
"Tucsdayl"
Numerous voice s." BY the stragh ticket
MI Rayner replied We'll, If You cHn elect Mr. Ill.
more in that way, you will do the very thing that
want done. But are You not deceived Much con-
fusion ensued, but after while Mr. Rayner proceeded
Does any one doubt me as an American am me
last au in the world II advise any American that Is
determined upon principle TO sustain the Straight i'd
more ticket to strike hs flag; would rather say II We
fall let us fell glory but let US be practical as well
AZ patriotic. Cannot the object be attained without
any sacrifice of principle God forbid that | should
attempt to dictate or even TO ADVISE. l
EN- lot competent TO do either, bat you
have a common enemy before you, and yet you
seged by Titus, divided by contesting factions, de-
vourng each other when all energy IL required to
defeat the Democratic patty, the common enemy.
God knows / would willingly 60 with you on pill
erimage Of four eight or ten years longer if there
any hope in the future for final triumph. But cannot
you copy from the policy % LysaDder when the lion

now is, cannot you combine the opposition OIL one
