seems to be as deeP rooted as ever, and
opportunities are sought after with avidi- /

feeling with which they regardlbose ''to
ihemanor born certainly very much
out Of place 10 say The least Of il, though
wemust confess, nevertheless. that il is
one quite natural 10 them. Any parry,
however patriotic lis motives, however
exalted its aspirations, or wholesome the
action Of its principles politically, socially
or morally, that runs counter 10 the anti
American party, opposes its views Of po-
litcaI economy or that contravenes be-
tween its Unsuitable appetite and the pub
lie plumber, is sure TO encounter its fierce
hate and fiercur denunciations, not for The
moment, but for all time TO come. The
great lever that regulates the Internal
workings of the machinery of the anti
American organization is the plunder. IL
is the grand secret of lis cohesion; il
tolls and suffers for i, and any sacrifice Of
principle, however great, is willingly
made to insure success in its object.
With this principle Of action constantly
before their eyes, and Tie apprehension
of losing the numberless Offices upon
which they have grown fat end sleek and
powerful for evil, with a very small ad-
mixture of good, necessarily tugging
away at their hearts, they strive with an
energy of will worthy Of better cause
TO slae all oppositionin itsinceplion that
they may continue TO rule as lords para.

the fishes. Hence their inveterate AMI
mostly to the Am erican party, their hos
tile denunciatons and maledclions, their
misrepresentation end their agony, burst
ing in wrath upon the devoted heads Of
the Americans, Than whom, according to
them, amore consummate setofvagabonds
and miduighl-assassins never brealhed
the free a ir Of heaven.
The dominant party in The United
States Senate, by their recent action, have
| givenus a demonstration Of their intense
halredtowards the American party, which
exciles no other feeling than that of pity.
The action was too low for contempt
Here il is in anutsbell. The democratic
caucus, working out its infamy no doubt
in secret, however much they may pre-
tend TO condemn secret political oiglnza-
lions, in arranging the standing commli-
tees Of The Senate saw proper. in their
wisdom, 10 place distinguished advocates
of the principles Of the American party,
and nearly the whole of them stand in the
very front ranks Of the distinguished
lights Of the Senate and of the country,
in very inferior places, and that'lo CRAFTY
and soolhe their malice. Hon. John j.
Crittenden Of Kentucky, stands at the
tail end of the Finance Committee; Hon.
John NJ. Clayton, Of Delaware, figures 8
on the Committee on Foreign Relations;
Hon. John Bell, Of Tennessee, comes
fourth OIL the Committee ON Naval affairs,
and last on the Indian Committee. while
Gen. Houston is The only man that stands at
l the head of committee, that Of the Mill
liza, a very insignificant post.
The motto inscribed upon he (oreheads
.Iof every anti-American is, .'Down with
/ The natives Of the soil, down with all who
dare raise their voices in behalf of their
counlrymen, and down with the idea that
Americans should rule their native land"
We should not be surprised, if in their
animosity towards Americans, and in their
eagerness for place and power, they
4 should advocate the expulsion from the
Senate Of every member embracing A.
merican doctrines. But the tables will
be turned upon them, The people are
moving. A mighty upheayel Of the po-
liliral elements is taking place; those in
1 power will be deposed; new order Of
things will be inauguraIed, and the gov.
ernment restored 10 its pristine purity by
the united spontaneous movement Of the
people in 1855. They have forboln long
enough, so long, indeed, that they well
nigh reached that point beyond which hu-
man endurance cannot go, without upon
the one hand exlerminating HE victims Of
oppression, or upon the other causing
them TO turn npon their oppressors and
slnite them 10 the earth with their broken
fetters. Look on. for fifty-si X = Com,
