American Ratification Meeting.
HuNTsv1LLr, Mo-, May 20, 1856.


Mr.. EDIToR:-Acoording to previous on
tice, large concourse of people, from all
parts Of the county, met at the Courthouse,
on Saturday the l7lh instant, to listen to
addresses upon the principles of the great
American Party. The meeting opened at
l o'clock, and passed resolutions ratifying
the nominations of the Philadelphia and ST.
Louis Conventions, and pied dsing their most
hearty support to the whole American tick
ct. This done, Col. Thos. L. Anderson, Of
Marion, was introduced to the as.emblage,
and in the course Of two hours speeolt-
the most eloquent ever delivered IN our
town-he pointed to many momentous facts
as reasons why the sons of the soil should
unite in this great and good work. He point
ed to the vast increase in immigration to our
country in the last few years, and admonish-
ed US TO consider our position and circum-
stances; and showed conclusively that there
were ten foreign paupers to one native, and
ten foreign criminals to one native The in
evitable conclusion Of which was that i'm
migration was the chief source Of crime and
pauperism in This country. He told us that
in estimating the value of immigration, or
the importation of foreigners, three griev-
GUS evils demand the serious reflection and
mature consideration of every reAecting in
dlvidual. If viewed as business transac-
tomas mere mater of dollars and cents
it must occur to every individual that the
native population must bear the burden of
expenses necessary to maintain these pau
Pers, and TO bring these offenders against the
laws of the country to justice. Time and
space will not admit OF anything like a sy-
nopsis OF the address, and indeed, it were
impossible for pen TO portray the effect it
had upon his audience, firm friends of the
cause were filled TO overfowing with an en-
larged American feeling-those who had
hitherto been wavering were brought ont
and numbered among the supporters of the
cause; and even in the ranks of the Antics
a considerable breach was made. Col. An
derson was followed by Mr.. Pratt in an e.
laborate speech of some length, and the
meeting closed with n most enthusiastic and
extensive American feeling Randolp his
right side up with care"

Tribulations of Modern Democracy


The New York National Democrat, in
speaking of the feet of that State having tpo
sets Of delegates who will present them
selves to the National Democratic Conven-
tion at Cincinnati, in June next, in conse-
quence of which it predicts that the State of
New York will be lost to the National De-
mocrdey, makes the following honest confess
sion:
owe have been in minority since 1847,
because portion of those who called them
selves Democrats, maintained dtthey could
be Democrats and .AbolhioniSts at the Same
time"
This, by the way, seems to be popular
doctrine, and is advocated by the Washing
ton Union, the national organ of the Demo-
cratic party, which unblushingly proclaim
ed, in 1852, that
"The Free-soil Democratic leaders of the
North, are regular portion of the Demo-
cratic party, and General Pierce, if elected
will make no distinction between them and
the rest Of The Democracy in the distribution
of official patronage, and in the selection Of
agents for administering the government"
Pierce made no distinction-or if he did,
it was in favor of the "free soil democratic
leaders" We predict these "free soil lea
ders' will receive like promises again, and
should Pierce be nominated and elected,
they will again be his favorites, yet we shall
hear continued cry about the ".NationaI
democratic party

Resolutions Adopted by the State Council
Of Missouri.

Resolved, That the repeal Of the sth section of
the Missouri Compromise act being just and con =
sttutional recognition Of the equal rights of every
portion Of the Union, in and TO, the enjoyment and
protection of all property in the Federal Terrific
ries, we opposed to disturbing that act of Leg

geiher with the Fugitive Slave Law, fnality, and
not to be disturbed.
Resolved, That all Territories shall be admitted
into the Union, as Sovereign States, whenever they
have the requisite population 10 perfect State
organization; the legal voters thereof, having the
exclusive right in framing their organic law, TO
regulate and decide the question of domestic slave
ry in their own way, subject alone to the provis-
ions OF the Federal Constitution.
Resolved, That we regard the 18Th section of
the National Platform Of February, 1856, not as
a dsapproval Of the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise; but as a condemnation of the purpuses Of
the present Administration, TO sectional dis
cord, and weaken the bonds Of the Union,

ANIERICUS.

JusT WHAT THE NATIVES SAY.-The
address of the late Irish National COnven-
ton, held in New York, more than confirms
the truth Of American principles. The fol-
lowing extracts are admissions which show
they have, while abusing our hospitality,
taken rope enough to harg themselves"
We would remind the Irish in the British
Colonies and elsewhere, that this cause is
common to the whole race: AND UNDER
WHATEVER FLAG THEY FIND
SHELTER, OR HOWEVER PROSPER
Gus THEIR LOT MAY BE, THEIR
NATURAL HOME is IN THE SWEET
VALLEYS OF OLD IRELAND, beside
her historic rivers, and under the shadows
Of her ancient pillar towers and cathedrals
1t is but few years, since we too were
in Ireland; THE CURRENT OF OUR
BLOOD FLOWS STILL IN THE SAME
DIRECTION, the chain that binds our ar-
fections to our kindred as i, links at bo;,i
sides of the Atlantic.
Aye, adds the Mobile News, "however
prosperous their lot may be, their natural
home is in the sweet valleys of old Ireland!''
lrishmen themselves proclaim It, and who
dares dispute ltp Fearing that they might
not be understood, they make ii more i'm
pressive by asserting that the "current OF
our blood still fOUs in Tie SAME direction!"
And yet these men find fault with the ma
tives CT the soil for proclaiming the same
sentiments on this continent, and pseudo-A.
mericans support them in their mad attacks
upon the American party,
Pour in a little more grape of the same
sort; we endorse the doctrine, Americans
must rule America. Iriahmen may rule
Ireland. Sound doctrine! Roll or the
ball, and "let the current flow in the same
direction
