honest course, and right because it is honest.
He goes to work and invents the best remedy
which medical skill can devise for the cure Of
certain CONSTANTS; then publishes what il is

king it cheaper, better; more perfect, than
anybody else can. If the people would exact

States, the control Of which was not surren-
dcred to the Federal Government, nor yielded
up to the control Of the people Of the nation.
Does the Wing and It's allies admit that either
Congress on national conventions have any bu-
siness with slavery where 1t exists under local
laws?
IL National Conventions have any authority
or right to determine that slavery shall be
maintained, il follows that they have right
TO say that IL shall be eradicated. Does slavery
occupy either better or worse condition by
being endorsed or denounced by National Con-
ventionsi We think moi; and we believe the
people Of the South win agree with us, that
the Constitution of the United States affords a
much surer protection to the PRESERVED right"
Of the States, If interfcred with by Congress
OF by State legislation, than the resolves Of
partisan conventions, which may be changed
in day So long as the Federal Constitution
stands, the reserved rights" Of the States viii
be protected by the power Of the Federal Gov
eminent, and when the time comes that those
rights are withdrawn from the protection of
this sacred instrument, and confded to politi-
cal parties then indeed the South may well be
alarmed for their " vital interests"
How, then, stands the question now at issue
between the American and Whigf By adopt
ing the Georgia resolution the American
party, (it is admitted, viii triumph at the en-
suing election-by rejecting its principles it
must be defeated or, if successful, it will be
4l,o IF ma RI
We wish neither defeat, nor sectional ti-
timph. We desire National American
triumph, and none other. This can only be eff
fected by adopting the Georgia resolution, and
suppressing the agitation of sectional issues
The American party in Ohio has recently re-
solved to have an exclusively american organi-
zation and to present none but Americans for
office. Our friends in the whole North will
doubtless adopt a similar course, excluding all
isms but Americanism in their future contests.
Ultraism at both ends Of the Union must be
abandoned, and the only effectual mode of ac-
complshing the end, is to exclude all matters
from the platform, which do not directly relate
to the ecils Of toreignism. The rights of the
South, of the North, and Of all portions of the
country, will remain safe and secure under the
protection of the Federal CONSTITUTIONS not,
it is in vain to invoke the aid of partisan con-
ventions. The question is, Shall the Ameri-
can party triumph? 1t cannot triumph, as a
National party, and ought not to triumph, if it
becomes either pro-slavery or aati-slavery in
its designs and objects. 1t can triumph, if it
shall exclude from its platform all questions
calculated to distract the harmony of the par
tyn Sail ah
