DEAR SIRs :-Patrio,ism demands of
the American Party It's disapprobat'on OF
the measures Of the present National
Administration, as well as the deiea, oil
those who have willingly and cheeriuIiy
endorsed and are pledged to support its
foreign and domestic policy.
Its selection of agents to and their
management, OF our affairs al other Courts
has justly rendered it obnoxious to the
condemnation of the American people.
When the. present Administration assum-
ed the conduct Of our douestic affairs, all
causes of sectional strife had been remov-
ed, and peace and Iraternai concord ex-
listed among the States and people OF tie
Contederacy.
Wrh a controlling influence in all de-
partments OF Governments, we are tntorm-
ed by tue admissions and declarations Of
its friends and adv, Gates, that at this mo-
men, discord, sectional strife aud angry
agitation, dangerous 10 the prrmauency
OF our cherished Union, have been brough,
upon the country. These evil things are
ju,tiy attributable 10 its action aud ambi-
tion.
Our character among the nations OF the
earth has been d graded by the au,hori =
ed announcement, on the part OF its en-
pioyees, that our Government was un-
willing or unable to control and check
the rapacious Iongngs for the posses
slons OF nelghhorlng and weaker nations
falsely admnled to exis, among our citi.
zpns.
Tue revenues of the country have been
| devoted TO sustain was,eiul and extTav-
agaa, administration Of our affairs, while
appropriations for the judicious improve
men, OF our rivers and harbcrs have been
resisted aud refused Territory OF the
United States has been desoiated and de-
populated by civl! brolls. while within its
borders laws have been enacted and 9TH
ers adjndged to exist, and attempted to
be enforced by the government, that are
destructive Of the sacred rights Of a free
people.
10 restore the government to its legit-
mate purposes-to preserve the unlon
and constitution from dissolution and de-
s,ructlon TO re-eslablsh The high repu-
talon OF our country abroad ioi fair deal
iug and Just action toward other nations
to devote our surplus revenues to ma.
uonal improvements required for the Sc
curity OF commerce aud The safety ol
lravel-to preserve for Tree labor the vas
and fertile plans ol Kansas III obedience
TO the compac. o. purer md wiser gen
efatlon--to Iahlogate unjust, 'yrannIca
and wicked laws. and TO pro.ec, the clll'
zen against The odlous doctrine OF con-
strucltve judicial treason would seem lc
be the dictate OF rational patriotism and
enlightened humanity.
To effect the entire cogdemna,on o
these mopstrous abuses aud us1rpaticns
The defeat OF tie nominees ot the Gu
ctnnau convention, is al admitted neGes'
suy.
To accomplish this desirable result
united action must be secured among
the opponents oi the national Admins
trat,on.
