! what HAS Il Acco oinpIIsiesl.

This is sometimes asked by the Sag N Nicht press
les though they really sought information and were
sincere in their iuterrogatoriss. We win answer
them as to some Of the things it has accomplish
ed. The American Party has been in existence
long enoughto to open the eyes Of the American
people to the dangers to be apprehended from the
sluiccs Of panperism that have been pouring in
upon our shores for ten years. It has taught the
American people that the grestmasses Of foreign
ers who come here cultivate no fraternal feeling
with our people, but band themselves together in
distinct communities and retain their native scnti
ments, habits and customs. It has taught, that
these foreigners, however quiet they may hereto
fore have been, when unresisted intheir attempts
exert q controlling influence in the government of
! the country, become fierce and intolerant when
opposed, and resort to bloodshed to effect their
purpose. 1t has taught, what ought to have been
learned years ago, and crushed out Of the country
years ago,that there is q partyin thiscountrypre-
tending to be the great Democratic conservative
element of American Republican'smt that knows
no law but the Law Of the spos Of Office, and prac-
tices no policy but that which tends to swell its
numbers and consolidate spower, without respect
to the elements, from which its strength comes.
1t has taught that this party, when it suis itsag
grandizing purposes win become the defenders Of
the atrocities Of the Churchof Rome, and ransack
the records Of history to find parallels Of Protest
ant assumptions and horrors. It has taught that
that party recognizes no enemies but those who
question its nfaIliblty or aspire to the admins
tration of the government; and recognizes no
friend but those who directly, or indirectly, give
It support, or ponder to its preteusions. 1t has
taught that this party has no motto that rises in
t political morals above that of "Ruler or RUM
1t has taught moreover, the startling truth, that
European Absolutiou aud European Legitimacy
do desire the destruction of this government, and
: have laid schemes and made plots for its over
throw. 1t has taught, that ia pursuance of this
desire, they dsgorge annually upon these shores
as the best means OF electing their purpose, the
reeking contents Of their prisons, and the squald
living dirt sad mire of their crowded lanes and
alleys. 1t has s-taught that these, so FAR from be-
l. ing sent back, and the act Of sending them here
resented as gross iudisDity, are courted and ca
resscd and invited to sit down at the table Of th,
!; Democratic family. Surely. If the American par
~ has done nothing morc,i ought to receive, 70
; what it has done the applause Of every patriot il
the country. But its mission is only begun. 1t
mission is two-fold, The first Is to crush out tn
foreign element that endangers our institutions
and second, to crush out the home elements tha
!. menace their existence.
