The Reorganization of the Gardner
PARTY

organization of the American party. 1t says;
.sIn some localities measures have already
been taken TO carry out these sentiments and
Councils have been re-organized, and thousands
OF names enrolled upon the list of members. An
effort will be made to revi0e the american Coit2
ellis and an AneI7caR feeling throughout the State:
and it can be accomplished without any difficult
ty, if our friends will approve of this attempt,
and respond simultaneously, wherever American
ism has gained foothold.
And then, after charging, falsely, as we think,
the defeat Of Fremont, upon the alien population
ofthe United States, it lays down the programme
as TO the manner in which the party shall be re-
constructed as follows
In the Reorganization of the American party,
much that Objectionable in the forms.
cIets SC, &c, of the old organization will prob
ably be done away with and the bass upon which
the party is to hereafter rest, n ade so broad, lib
eial and comprehensive that it will recommend
itself TO every lover of his country and OF Repub
hcan institutions Let the movement tgo on
Sound the rally through the Commonwealth, and
let the lreemen, who love freedom of speech,
freedom of conscience, freedom of the ballot-box
and freedom of the foreign influences, unite with
the American party"
Thus we have from the official organ of His
Excellency, outline of the plans and purposes
of the clique of desperate and corrupt politicians
whom he controls, and of which he himself forms
no unimportant part.
1t is only two months ago that the Bee
reading the Republican party of the State lesson
TO its duties, and telling its members that they
ought to seek to make their party strong and
permanent. and therefore should take up Govern
or Gardner and his friends and incorporate them
into themselves We regret to say that many
Republicans were humbugged BY this deceitful
4. ~
viii bear US witness that we were not Of that
number The Bee purposcly used these mild
phrases Of persuas ion in view of the probable
election of Col. Fremont, and under the SUPPOSE
tion that that event would be to the American
party "the last Of earth" But the probab con.
tingency of the defeat of Col Fremont has never
been absent from our mind, and of course the fu-
ture of the Republican party in that ey MT mas
not been overlooked.
We expected as a matter of course, to Sc ,hese
psuedo patriots Of the Gardner school of politics
immediatly after the occurrence of an event so
disastrous to the hopes of freemen as the defeat
of Fremont, Immediately renew their attempts to
reconstruct and reorganize party which has
shown itselfpowerful only for mischief and pow
eress only for good and which by its stupid and
selfish course, has divided the councils of the An
ii Slavery states of the North so as to give Dor.
der ruffanism complete triumph in the prese.
dental election, and we are not surprised at the
course indicated by the Boston Bee for the guild
ance of its partizans.
After such seething of the political caldron
in which the 10. Kisses, Dan. Warrens and jon
athan Pierces have been temporarily lost sight of
it is not to be wondered at, that in the first mo-
ment of its subsistence. the scum should again
rise to the surface aud that the Bee, with its adle
should stand ready to skim off the corrupt and
rotten PARTICLES with view to their agglomera.
ton once more into political party, for the ag-
grandisement of itself and for the sustenance of
"the hand that feeds it."
But we are satisfied that the game will not
work, and that its schemes will prove abortiye.-
II is in vain to attempt again to restore to any
condition of healthy vitality, party, which has
proved itself to be so hOpelessly corrupt.
Wherever in the present canvass an issue has
been made between that party and the Republi,
can party, the former has fallen far behind, and
the plaques Of Egypt were not more offensive to
the Israelites Of old, than the political vermin
which its corrupt and decaying carcass has en-.
gendered in every quarter of the Commonwealth,
have become to the people of Massachusetts,.
The day for the revival of the American party,
with its narrow and intolerant creed with its pre-
tensions 70 principles which it never possessed, I
and its professions of regard for the cause of free
dom which it fouy betrayed the first time it met in
convention as national party, have opened the
eyes of all intelligent and honest anti slavery men
TO sense of its unftness as a political organiza-
ton to subserve any good, useful or patriotic
purpose, and they will sweep it out of sight, to
be buried among the debris of other past political
organizations, based upon bad principles and
controlled by bad men there to sleep the sleep
which knows no waking.
In the future contests of the people, until the
great and paramount slavery issue is settled
there can be but TOO political parties-the party
OF freedom and the party of slavery No minor
issues can be thrust into the contest. The PEG.
pie 90 not care for them, and they will not listen
TO them The Republican party Of to-day is the
hope, and the only hope of the nation. It's Mat.
form IS broad enough and comprehensive enough
TO embrace every interest dear 10 all True Amer.
can hearts aud around it, and it only. win the
feemen OF The North rally for the next and final
struggle with the slave power.
Let the Bee content itself with buzzing over
its little store Of honey secured for the presen,
season, by the reelection of Governor Gardner
aud his associates upon the State ticket, through
the taeit consent Of the people, in order thus, to
secure greater GOOD, but let it not suppose that
ii people to be any longer humbugged anc
deceived BY its miserable pretences that Amer
icanism, however organized remodel can dc
aid Of the cause Of freedom and humanity
