$ LGok 10 Your Representatives" and
Senators Also.

1t may have appeared to some of our anti-slave-
~ friends that we have expressed too much So
licitude as to the re election of Mr. Simmer. and
too much suspicion of the motives of some of the
men who have prof5ssed to be in his favor. But
we prefer to be Of those who are over anxious,
rather than of those who are over credulous and
con6ding. We have seen the workings, already,
of plot to defeat and superssde Mr.. s''"nor.
even o0rV--------- A-Axnired. We have
eummered ana wlutered tho who is the head
and right arm of the " American y party of this
State, and we know him to be, incapable of good
faith, even with his friends, and INSCRIPTIONS
and malignant foe of the Republican party, its
principles, its organization, and its leading
From such man we expect nothing but opposi-
ton, open or secret. Open opposition is not now
his policy. But secret methods are still resorted
20, and are all the more dangerous. An open
upon Charles Sumner would meet with nothing
but disgrace and defeat; secret intrigue may
have different result, unless carefully guarded
against. "Forewarned forearmed." If Mr..
summer suffers in the Senate or the House, this
winter, the blame shall not restuponus. Let the
faithful men of Worcester county see to it that
they are guiltless.
We call attention to the following article from
the Boston Bee of Monday LAST
LOOK TO Your REPRESENTATIVES,
would urge every American voter in the diff
ferent cities and towns to see to it that no one
is put in nomination who does not favor the
Native American Constitutional Amendments
originated by the last Legislature, and which
must be passed upon by the next, before be-
ing submitted to the people. 10 secure
these amendments was the American organ
ization gotten up, and all the time, and labor,
and money of the last two years expended
Let US, one and all, forget the discussions and
differences of the day on Presidential cand-
dates, and see to it that these vital measures
are not lost through our supineness.
What is there to prevent Americans in the
various towns, sohether they mean to cote for
Fremont or Fillmore, for uniting on some good
sound man for Representative aoho is true TO
AmericaRiS11 and Freedom? Is there not,
reader. in yoaV town, just the man you can
cordially agree upon and elect Our over
lures for union are treated with scorn and
opprobrium wherever the Republicans think
they are strong enough 10 choose their own
men alone. Look at Worcester and Nantuck-
ct counties, at the 9th and 18th Congressional
Districts. at the 7th Councillor District, and
at the Hampshire and franklin District At.
torney District
and are willing to unite only where their own
men are graciously taken as candidates, and
as Tor the Democrats no one we believe pro.
poses or wishes to join hands with their Pats
and Murphys."
Then tet US agree among ourselves, at least
where zoe must, if we would save our Native
American Amendments. AS we before said.
If there is but a single Representative from
your town, AGREE on the best man. And n
ais
divide them as fairly as possible. Be liberal
even, to those who in some things differ from
you, rather than fail altogether.
Remember, if we loose these Amendments
by less than a two-thirds vote this year, it
viii require two successive years before this
wrong can be righted. The first and great
est step has been taken already-see 10 it
that we do not now take step backwards.
We had hoped much from the fairness and
CONCESSIONS of the Republicans but we con-
fess our hopes in that quarter are essentially
aOeakened, and il these amendments are to be
saved cd we not see must be done by tie united
sn0fGg0s of Americans on the same candidates
for Representatives. Of course tohere ar.
arrangements here noV been perfected Gas in this
city, ioe must give up 10 them IN good faith,
bur icAcre they have not been, see to Il that union
among Owseives is attempted before coalition
soith anybody else"
In the FIRST place, replying to this, we say that
the charge against the Republicans Of not acting
In good faith and honorable feeling towards the
Americans, is false one. We have many times
shown this to be the case, and we cannot now
dwell upon the repeated instances in which the
Republicans have exhibed their readiness to yield
all that was due, and more than was due to their
allies. They have yielded almost everything
