RY- The American Party is Abolition
ized-at least, so the opposition journals
pretend to think, and this much they
continually assert, and the testimony of
numberless witnesses to the contrary not
withstanding, reiterate from day to day
this most vapid allegation. In determin-
ing what amount of credibiEity should be
attached to this charge, all the evidence
in the matter should be carefully consid-
cred And more conclusive proof of the
utter falsity of the position assumed by
the opposition, than the continual and oft
repeated denial of its truth by the Alb
clifton press, could not be found; nor do
intelligent and candid men, willing to ac-
knowledge the correctness of a conclusion
drawn from facts, wish further testimony.
The malicious impetations of the opposi-
ton press are fairly met and hurled bodi-
ly to the ground by the language of such
extracts as the following from the Wash
ington National Era, the head and
front of the deyilish combination, which
would march over the destruction of the
Republic, under blacker and fouler
banner than ever waved above a treacher-
Gus host:
eve tell you, Know Nothings of the
Free States, that if you are so American
that you cannot dissolve your party ties,
as we have done, and unite with US on
equal terms, on the present question, you
are more welded to your Nativeism and
anti-Catholicism, than you are to Free
dom, and your proper place is, the Nation
al American Party, under the lead of Mil
lard Fillmore. Be manly-choose openly
whom you viii serye-Freedom or Slave
ry- If you are for Freedom, alone, say
so, surrender your party, and we are with
you. 1t you are for .Americanism' and
Freedoms much of the latter as you
can get without suspending the claims of
the former-nlake terms at once with the
Fillmore Nationals, help them cripple the
North, and to give power to Slavery
Manage as you may, we will never sup
port, directly or indirectly, Know Moth
ing party, National or Northern"

Memphis & Little Rock Railroad, Again.

We referred in our last to this great
work. In relation to the point at which
it will cross White River, we find the fol-
lowing in the Memphis Eagle a Enqui-
rer, of the 9th inst:
owe now assert, by authority, that the
Railroad aciA either cross White River at
DuvalPs Bluff, or one mile and half
above that point-most probably, however,
at the Bluff itself. More on this subject
hereafter"
And In the same paper of the 9TH inst,
We find this paragraph, which is an earnest
of things long chopped for::''
"HURRAH FOR THE MEMPHIS AND LIT
TIE Rock RAILROAD The John ST.
monds brought up from New Orleans and
put off yesterday, at Hopefeld, 400 tons
of iron, for the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad enough to iron four or FIVE
miles This will soon be followed by 9TH
er shipments ''of the same Sort Look
cut for the first iron horse whose neigh
ever walked the echoes of Arkansas, In a
very short time On-on, with the Pa
cifs Railway"
These facts herald the dawning of
brighter day for Arkansas, and the knowl-
edge of them will doubtless serve to in
fuse additional life and vigor into the eff
forts of every individual who has the ad-
vancement of the interest of the State at
heart

A Young Lddy List an a SHOU St0rm-EE-
posed to the Ho,rling Blast Of the Winters
Winds four Days and Nights-A Miraculous
Escape from Death.
Iowa PoNT, X. T,Feb. 9, ls56.-Edtor Kansas
Herald This has been day Of intense excite
ment in our quiet town, caused by ayoung lady Of
this neighborhood being lost in snow storm.
The facts are as follows:
A Miss Martha Perkins, who resides five miles
from this place visit to her brotherin- law
who resides here Ga Thursday last the 9th inst she
started TO walk home. IL showing hard at the
time she started and continued for two DAYS. The
snow was thea eighteen inches deep. Her road
WIS mostly over high rolling praire-the snow beat
ing directly in her face. She pursued her journey
with much difficulty, until a mile from home she
lost her way aud rambled about until near sunset,
when she took refuge for the night in deep bushy
ravue. There, in the deep Fnow, she constructed
a very ingenious little house out Of the tall weeds
that grew near by, and there she spent the first
night Of camp lille, without food to sustain lie, or
fire TO warm, or any clothing except her apparel to
shelter her from the storm. The little weed house
she had erected beng the only thing she had to
keep her from exposure 10 the bleak winds and
how ling storm. Early next morning che started
out in pursuit Of her home, but went all day. ire-
Quently through snow four feet deep, exhausted and
latigued her feet frozen, abandoning all idea of
ever reaching home, she stopped and again built
her a weed hut. In this little frail tenement che
resigned herself TO her fate, and it came well nigh
be ng her last resting place upon this earth. She
remained in this situation, at this last named place.
from "Wednesday until Saturday, about IL O'Clock,
when she was found by party who were in search
for her She had been out four days and a half,
aud four nights, exposed 10 the merciless storm
the prairics. The weather intensely cold.
During two nights Of her exposure the thermOme-
ter ranged frum II to 20 degrees below zero. She
said TO those who foand her, that she never slept
during The whole time, believing that IL she had
gone to sleep, she would never wake again.
IL is a most miraculous escape from death, and
those noble spirits who searched and found her de-
serve great praise. To think that youug aud de-.
hcate girl, not over sixteen years, could travel
through such snow storm ave miles wading often
waist deep ia snow, lie out on the open prairie eI
posed to the sto, IN Of and the piercing blasts
Of the wintry wind four days aud nights without
food, fire. or even blanket, and then vte is hard TO
believe, but such Is the fact beyond doubt as Of
least half Of our citizens who were in search oi her
eau testify Her feet were badly frozen, but IL is
believed she viii entirely recover, With The loss per

True, this part of the platform THE seventh sec
tion) very nearly copies the (Kansas-Nebrasks)
act Union and American.
We wish this admission to be remembered 1t
is as candid as it was unexpected-Pdtriot.
We referred only to that part of the platform
recognizing the right of the citizens OF territory
to form their constitution aud laws U'tioH aud
american.
We are not surprised at finding the
Union and American ready to enter quail
flying disclaimer But we shall rule such
proceeding as inadmissible. We have it
on the record. We thought the exhibition
of candor rather unusual, and were pre-
pared to read many lengthy, wordy articles
in its attempt to prove we had miSunder-
stood it. But there it is, plump, positive
and laconc When we said we had de-
monstrated beyond doubt the identity in
substance and principle of the Kansas
Nebraska act, and the seventh section Of
the American platform" true" says our
neighbor He saw our proposition in plain
language, he clearly understood the conclu-
sive process of the demonstration, he felt
the force of it, aud forgetting for once his
wonted caution in concealing his real senti,
mentS, when their avowal would injure his
cause, he unqualifedly admitted it. He re-
gretS his faur PASTOR such he surely con-
siders it, although he has told the truth.
Truth with some men only has virtue when
it suStainS their cause.
Our neighbor did not make his meaning
clear in his attempt to wriggle out of his
admission. There is an untelligible tumble
of words about native born and naturalized
citizens, in which we in vain attempted to
find point But as usual he closes with
an assertion. 1t is in these words at (the
American platform) condemns the act in
the whole and the detail, and yet borrowS
the language of the act to enunciate a
Know-nothing principle" We will give
again the words both of the platform and
the act, and let the public Judge of the
meaning of each and see if our neighbor
wasn't right when he so quickly calculated
true" notwithstanding he thinks he made
a mistake.
