Establishment of nm overthrow constitution The
war is one of foreign aggression; the avowed pur-
pose Is TO overthrow and cxpel the constituted
thorties of Nicaragua by foreign force. The single

influence if suffered TO remain potent in Nicaragua
will control and be dangerous to the ncghboring
States. Nicaragua must therefore, be not permitted
to he under American influences, and must be subju-

PreSto---Change.

The American Patriot. of April 26th. speaking of
the nomination Of Mr. Fillmore advances the follow
ing most prudent vicws-lt says:
"Thc question is can he be elected? II II not prob
able that with three candidates in the field for the
Presidency. the chances may he thrown in favor of
the abotionsts? Wewll support any national man.
let him be nominated by what party he may. who
has the best chances to defeat the recating Rcpub
lican. Any politics in preference to abolitonism -
any man for President before :" Republican"
When the other party makes its n0mination--whcn
we consider attentivcly the character and political
position of the nominec-when we have closely stud
led the movements of tin parlies-and have come to
a conclusion as to what will be the best and safest
course for the people of the south to pursue then
will take stand in the premises. and speak out bold
" and without fear or hope of reward for what is
true and what is right"
The Patriot of May 3d. kicks over the Patriot of
the week before and prepares for war to the hi" in
the cause of Fillmore and donelson, even If " fire.
eating Republican" should chance to slip in thereby.
1t now says:
ITO those who have been so nobly battling in the
ranks of the American party sinoo ita Grat organic
ton, need hardly say that your duty. your
try and all. demand that you should again grid on
your arnor and prepare for the coming strife. The
great principles which it has been your pride to
blazon on your Gamer, (which, though not yictori-
Gus has not blot upon its fair folds) again calls
you to your posts faithful scntincs upon the watch
towers of American Rights, and American liberty.
Then come and let us take council together, and
prepare for the coming campaign. Let us throw
alolt the great American banner and inscribe on its
bcauteous folds the names of Fillmore and Doneson
Let us rally around this patriotic standard. and
ed with those great principles which we love and adj
mire but little less than do those immortal sircs
who bequeathcd them to us let ms prepare to wage

giant and erudite Upsher. the brilliant Gimer, and
those twin giants of their age, Webster and Calhoun.
Scarce ten years have passed since the illustrions

offices Of the Cabinet, but one by one the nation
has put on mourning for them, and he who gathered

his post lives still to speak their eulogism. Need

TIE CINCINNATI PLATFORM.

An entirely issue will be presented in the ap-
Presidential canvass-an issue which it is
impossible to avoid or cvadc The opposition party
is essentially an abolition party. II proposes to re-
peal the Kansas-Ncbraska act and the Fugitive Slave
Law. II thereby denies States equality The Dcmoc-
racy oppose the repeal of those laws, and there
by to maintain State equality. But all room for
doubt or cayil must be removed. If we occupy an
equvocal position, we shall dampcn the zeal offrends
and invite the assaults of enemies We must, in the
Cincinnati platform, repudiate Squatter Sovereignty
and expressly assert State equality. We must de-
clare that it is the duty of the General Government
to see that no invdious injurious distinctions are
made between the people or the property of different
sections in the territories We do not mean to die
tate II may be that the assertion in the Platform
of the abstract proposition of State equality, may
suffice to carry along with it the consequences which
we DESIRE But it is often charged that the Kansas
Nebraska bill contains the doctrine of Squatter Sow
crcignty and that Squattcr Sovereignty is the most
efficient agent of free soism. Some Northern Dem
ocrats have maintained this ground. Now this gun
must be spiked II must appear from our platform
that we maintain practical State equality, and repudi-
ate that construction of the Kansas Nebraska act
which would defeat it. The South only demands
equality of right The more clearly 1t appears thai
the Northern Democracy is ready to concede it tC
her. the more certain is our candidate OF success

INDIANAPOLIS, April 2, 1856.
To The Members Of The american Party0 Iadiana.-At
n meeting of the Executive Committee Of the State
Council held at indianapolis on the I'd day of April
1856, after full expression Of the members upon
those questions that have divided and distracted the
American party in other States the Committee nnan-
imously adopted the following suggestions, and earn
estly request the true friends of Americanism to
operate with them In carrying out the views of the
Committee That, as in 1854, We stand uncompromi-
singy opposed to the present corrupt National Ad-
ministration, and rs party we stand ready to CO.
operate with any party which aims to put an end to
its misrue. And, further, we regard the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise infraction of the plight
cd faith of the nation.
The same should be restored and If efforts to that
end fail Congress should refuse, under all circum-
stances to admit any State into the Union toerang
slavery made free by that compromise. Therefore
we approve of call for peoples convention to be
held on the first day Of May next and earnestly call
upon the American party throughout the State to
send full delegation to that convention.
