NrYTH. That oil who approve this Plat
form, whether members Of any Council or

us in carrying out its principles.
TENTH. That we recommend q thorough
organization Of the American party in the
State, and 10 this end are decidedly in favor
OF the nomination of a fnll State Ticket, and
candidates in every county, and in every
Congressional and Senatorial District.
You will perceive they are almost an
epitome of the American Platform.
Up to the time of reading the above res
olutions, the multitude had suppressed to
some extent, that enthusiasm, which, during
the remainder Of the evening, cleaned from
every countenauce, and was shouted from
every tongue. ~
The resolutions were ably and eloauentIy
supported by Col. Switz!er, Hon. o Gnitar
and T. d. Russell, our inAexible Rseordvria,,
During Mr.. Guitars remarks, lie look
occasion TO allude in severe ard punsane
terms, to a certain class of renegades from
our order. "Particularly,' said the speaker
! 'was it remarkable that many of those who
are now loudest in their denunciations OF
the American party, were the frstto get
into it." %
This, anil similar remarks brought r. +.
Gary, toreigner-tlat is to say, an anita
merican champion of the foreigners, to The
rostrum as soon as an opportunity offered.

thc audience with a very profound gage,

t knewledging, by way of mitigating his cor
r duct, that he chad thought The old Whig

n Sir, is II not time that we understood mer
when they say that they are uot willing tia
y America should be governed by Amer
cans alone? But was going on to say tho
le amid dea.ening and prolonged shouts fu
lr Guitar, that gentleman again took the stand
y And now the work Of roor Gary CON

ID to Mr., Gary himself, that man could DC

Fir After Mr.. Guitar had concluded, Mr.. G

'se sible, yentured cnce more to the stand; an
