MOVEMENTS OF THE AMERICAN PARTY.--We
published yesterday the address Of Thomas
SpoOner, President OF the Grand State Council
OF the American party, to the brethren of said
Council, vt their late gathering at Columbus
Brother Spooner adheres to his opposition to
the extension of slavery, and hopes the Ohio
delegates to the approaching National Council
at Philadelphia will not forget it. Our read
ers will have also perceived that the American
party of Richmond, Va, have endorsed their
brethren of the Broome county Triangle, New
York, in their nomination Of Mr.. Bolts for the
Presidency, agreeing likewise with Mr. Bolts,
that the Philadelphia twelfth section is hum
bug, and ought to be set aside In Pennsyl-
vania we understand, they adhere to the plat
form and in New York, George Law and his
programme are the card On the 18th Feb
ruary special National Council of the Order
will be held at Philadelphia, on constitutions,
rituals and platforms; and on the 22d, the
regular National Council appointed for the
nomination Of Presidential ticket is to con-
vene. At both there will be abundance OF
solid work to do, as is strongly suggested BY
the various movements Of the party we have
jus. specified.

France. Our extension, If 1t acts Ut all upon
European nations, affects alone the interests Of
England. We believe this, even, to be wholly
imaginary, certainly 80, viewed as An industrial
operation; but perhaps not SO when re-
garded in the light of Q naked con-
quest Of neighboring States; because Eng
land not only maintains the allegiance of
American Colonies, but looks to AN extension
of her dominiOns on this side of the water.
It il indeed obvious, viewed in any conceive
BILE light, that the policy Of the great Napo-
leon towards this country was the true one
whether we consider the interests of France
the state Of political affairs in Europe, or the
interests of the United States. 1t would not
be difficult to prove, considered in the spirit Of
sound philosophy, that the present dynasty Of
the Nspoleons is almost wholly indebted to the
republic Of America for its existence as a
power in Europe. It sprang from our exam
pie, and though it was beaten down at the
commencement Of the present century, by our
growth, and our position as rival of Great
Britain, it has compelled the latter govern
ment to break its league with the absolute ru-
lers of the Continent, aud to enter into alliance
with Napoleon ILL.,, now occupant Of the I'm
perial estates which were created by his great
ancestor, wholly of materials furnished, SO to
