The weekly American banner. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1855-18??, 1856-09-19

The Cincinnati platform party iss evidently
In its death-sfruqRle. Week after week, day
after day, and hour after hour, II has seen lis
sfondest hopes decay Until ii Il already re-
dueetl to state Of almost utter hopelessness
and helplessness. A few weeks ago, the
mansgersof the party machinery Of this sham
Democracy held . causes at Washington and
rested all their hopes of success on sPenn-
sYlvanla, although they then Acknowledged
TINT & would take at least tsco hundred tiousuu
dollars Of their electioneering fund. to save
1t tothe squatter sovereignty candidate. They
have since discovered that all the money 10
thetreasury will not be sufficient to help them
in this honr Of their great distress. They
have no principles worth lighting for. The.
people have repudiated their platform and re-
jected their candidate. and they hoped to be
able 70 buy enough votes TO elect the old Lam
csster Federalists or at least 10 throw the elec-
tioninto1the House Of Representatives, where
his well known aptness at bargoin and intrigue
mightbes once more breughtin play. They
have no longer any confidence in their platform
and they find their candidate most odious to the
masses throughout the country. They dare
not openly second the efEorts Of the Ffeesoilers
ITO getupl purely sectional contest; for they
now see too plainly that in such contest Fre-
mont would be most certainly elected. They
propose 10 BUY tie notes of tie IN
