the late American patty to the Peoples party,
and We know it is one against which the indie
pendent voters of thatparty will reject with scorn
and loathing.
All through this portion of the State, there is
an ardent desire to meet the Americans on far
and equal terms, in relation to State matters,
but the disposition is equally strong not to be
coerced into the support of an obnoxious ticket,
by any threats from any quarter.
The Peoples party is an independent party, in
State and nation, and the necessity for it to pre-
serve its integrity is too apparent to require any
calculation here. 1t must take such course in
the November election, not only upon national,
but upon State matters, as it can Justify before
honest men who have no other stake in the con-
test but subserve the best interest of the whole
people.
The American party of Massachusetts does not,
to-day, occupy either so exalted or so powerful
position will enable it to support its arr giant
and dictatorial demands Neither eaR the Peo-
pies party afford so to insult and ignore the hon
est Wings, Democrats, and Americans, who have
Joined it in good faith, as it would, by trading
away its independent character its actual integ-
rity even, as party, to mere faction the
State, fragment only of party, which, though
last year majority in the State, is now rent in
twain by its own intestine divisions, making each
fragment utterly poweress of ITSELF and unable to
elect single State officer without an utilization
with some other party.
We warn those who are engaged in this dirty
game o! intrigue for the spoils of office and the
emoluments OF selfish and bigoted ambition. to
i.t,, ~.
force upon the Peoples party candidate so OBJ
noxious as the one they propose.
AS the Peoples party would have no wish or
desire to force upon the Americans a candidate
who was personally and politically obnoxious
to them, SO do they expect a correspt nding mani
festation of the spirit OF harmony and Cancellation
from their would be allies.
That party embraces in its ranks, thousands
and thousands Of wings and democrats and Amer
leans, who voted in their distinct and separate
organizations last year. but who would vote as
one man in the ranks of the new patty this year,
if the nominations are made with reference to
the principles of fair play, justice, and right.
Those thousands cannot be cioled or coerced
by the tricks of politicians the threats of office
seekers They viii look we'll to it, that in
nouneng old parties, to form pew party, hay-
ing for its leading purpose, the restoration of the
national government to the policy Gifts founders,
that they do not, in the outset, entaigle them
selves in an alliance with clique Of place hunt
ers, whose only governing motive, seems to be the
desire to rule or to ruin, and who threaten to
! place Massachusetts in the category of States,
opposed to the overthrowo of slavery in the terri
tories unless their insulting demands and base
proposals are complied with. Let tn Sc who
would SOW the wind, beware that they do not
! reap the whirlwind, and be we'll on their guard
that the "union and harmony they seek, by the
pursuance of such a course as they propose, does
not end in such revusion of popular indigna-
tion in the breasts of the independent freemen of
the States, as will draw thousands and thousands
from the support, even of the electoral ticket,
and place Massachusetts, from the 10Th Of Sep
TENDER next, among the doubtful States for Free
