one of the many means resortcd to by the Re1ubl

The card hunters win talk very sweet to younow,

you with the contempt they really feel for you.
No man that approaches another with dshonora-

Der this you that are asked to desert the princi-
pies that are dear to every honest American heart
every heart not hardened and scared by the love
of party. Better always be in minoriiy-better
always maintain an honest position in the opposi-
tionha to go with the strong side at the expense
of political and moral honesty. There are men
that have never looked upon the native American
question as we look upon it. They may be just
as honest in their sentiments as are. But those
who have felt and seen the dangers that threaten
our beloved country from the influx Of foreigners,
who have acted with US from the formation of the
American party up to this time, cannot we con-
ceive, see just reason now to change their views.
We do not believe the danger as imminent as
when the party was first formed: for let our ene-
mics say what they will, the mission of the Amer
lean party is in party accomplished. The public
mind has been awakened-the impulse has been
given, and though the pioneers in this patriotic
movement may all be guillontined by the strong
arm of power that feels its sceptre departing
our glorious principles will intimately prevail
We are willing to bide the time, feeling sure thai
sooner or later it will come, and the policy Of th

Mr.. FILLMORE AT THE SoUTH--The Hon.
Humphrey Marshall. of Kentucky, spoke at an
American meeting in New Brunswick; N. j., a
few evenings since. We quote from his speech
what he said respecting Mr.. Fillmore's prospects
10 the South:
Mr.. Marshall then alluded to The prospects and
the chances in the South for which he could know
ingy speak. Ten Southern States he looked upon
as certain for Fillmore. They were Kentucky
Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee though here
would probably bea strong fght-Florida, North
Carolina and Louisiana. Then he considered the
probabilities-good for Virginia, fair for Arkan
sas--that there was show for Alabama and :
very fair chance for Georgia.

The bal. isan friends Of Mr.. Buchanan ignore,

sied outby Mr.. Fillmore while he was Presi-

Of Mr.. Flllmore's political lfe-som twenty
years ago, when he represented his District in
the House Of Representatives. They dig up
and bring to light from that period, Mr.. Fill

trict of Columbia; and, By artfttlly Disgusting
the true point al issue at the moment, endeavor to
leave the impression upon the mind Of the read
ers that Mr. Fillmore fanorsd the nnholy cause
Of the Abolitionists. Any one, however, who
will take the trouble, as we have done, to turn
to the records in question, will see that the
question was not whether the prayer of the
petitions should be granted, but it was, "shall
these petitions bv respectfully received" The
question involved the right of petition, nothing
more.
But, how stands Mr.. Buchanan on this self
same issue presented by the enemies of Mr..
Fillmore! As trne as the heavens exist, MIR.
Buchanan, as Senator from Pennsylvania, Is
doubly immersed In this mre of Abolitionism
as compared with Mr.. Fillmore. There is no
denying the record--we have it now before us
in the 'oficial proceedings of Congress, printed

farther in support of Anti-Slavery measures
than Mr.. Fillmore, inasmuch as he not only

Hc5sour Dog.

We notice in the last Blacs,oood, rather
severe critique on President Pierce and his
administration. Our Native American spir-
it resented the structures upon our native born,
New Hampshire President. We are no per-
sonal admirer OF General Pierce-nor do we
approve in any way, his Executive course, but
we don't want Scotchmen or Englishmen to
abuse him. The Know Nothing, and some
Democratic papers have done enough OF that,
and are doing it still, though he is as good
Dead The feelings which the Reviews article
called up, reminded us of an anecdote of the
lamented S. S. Prentiss. 1t is well known
that he was political opponent of Gov. Nc
Nuts and by no means personal admirer.-
He was once travelling on a Mississippi steamer,
and fell in crowd where there was an Ohio
ma n, abusing and cursing McNutt Prentiss.
to the surprise of all interfered and contradict
ed the man fatty, who few into rage and
said he (McNutt) was dog. THAT may be-"
replied Prentiss, with his peculiar and express
sve curl of the lip, but he is my dog, and no
abolitionist shall abuse him where am.'
The following is the proviso to the Army
Bill, which. being insisted onby the House of
Representatives and rejected by the Senate,
occasIoned the loss of the bill:
"Provided, houeuer, and it is hereby declared,
