THE AMERICAN PARTY NATIONAL.

The locOfoco presses are continually har-
ping upon what they are pleased TO term the
sectional character Of the American party.
All such Oue-si,led statements are merely
intended for effect, which true statement OF
the case will disprove. True, u few dema-
gosues and agitators crept into the American
organization with lie upon their lips. and
attempted 10 per,ert the object Of the party
10 their unholy purposes ;but they were soon
discovered and driven out Of the party. An
overwhelming majority Of the party adopted
a conservative. just and national platform;
nominated that true patriot, Millard Fill
more. and put an end TO the Vaccinations
of lhose who bad entered the party for no
purpose but TO make mischief The Amer
ican party now stands beiore the country a
national party, with man as their standard
bearer of whom the whole country may well
be proud.

editor Of the Noriolk American. Who was pre-.

and that il will enable them hereafter to IN
terpose against it, South of that line.
The only hope, in my opinion, ot srrestng
this evil Of slavery agitation, is. by driving
from power The party that uses il. as means
If perpetuating their dynasty. Until this IS
done, the country will have 20 peace. And
il could be allowed to offer a word Of advice
II would appeal to every national, conser..
yatiye, union- loving man, from the Bay OF
Chaleur 10 the Californian gulf, to forget for
the time all minor differences, and to unite
in one common struggle, against the common
enemy Of all. Whether pro-slayery or anti
slavery, let them. even now--for there is yet
tme--make another effort to secure unity
and concert Of action, in contending against
party which is deceising bolhl and whose
game is, to keep them in perpetual conflict,
that, like the Fox in the fable. they may car
ry off the spoil, when The combatants are ex-
hausted
AS an American, l would advise it. for
the occasion. Americanism can never fight
the battle, upon the truth Of its principles,
as long as, by the tactics Of its enemies, il
is embarrassed by other issues. irrelevant in
their nature. Americans must bide then
time. Our day will yet come. no matter
what course duty may suggest in the Ginning
political struggle--no matter what my be the
issue Of that strugg,e--yet, | hope aud be-
lieve, the day is not far distant, when all true
Americans will be united. aud we shall pre-
sent one solid phalanx against the myrmidons
OF foreignism, Romanismi, and disunIonism---
and the contest viii be decided on these Is
sues alone. Much good has already been
done. The chord Of American feeling has
been touched. and it has vibrated through
heart. and head, nerve, Of the people of this
country. The seed has not only been plan
ted in our soil, but It has germlnated, taken
root. and shot upward. Although lis growth
may have been partially blghted by the i'm
proper culture, or over culture, Of its friends,
and the sly and steaIthy application Of some
poisonous material by its enemies-yet, time
and its own native ,igor will restore il; and
il will continue to grow and expand, till It's
branches will reach the clouds. and the Ame-
rican people shall repose in peace and comfort
under its shade.
1t may be, that we need more adversely to
teach US charity and iorbearancc tor each
other, on less momentous questions. Defeat,
if defeat should come, will teach us wisdom--
will learn us the importance Of harmony, and
the necessity for concert and union hereafter
For one, my destiny is linked to the cause oi
pure and unadulterate,l Americanism. In this
bark have shipped with my fnrtunes. II i
ever reaches its destined port in safety, all
the reward desire is place in the hearts
and the affections Of its gallant crew. II. ~
the Providence Of God, It is doomed to des-
truction. will cling 10 the wreck, as long as
there is spar or a timber aioat, aud when
it goes down in the deep, will be engulphed
in the vortex.

1t is impossible much to sggraVate the
hideousness OF this procedure. But when
the preacher commits himself BY falsOhOod.
as some time shappens,i it caps the OdiOus eli
max. A few years since, on the eve Of
general election in Massachusetts,, to answer
the purposes OF party, fabulous story was
circulated, that the French had msssacrsd
the crew Of a vessel called the Ocean. It
was one of thousand falsehoods Of the
same kind. A clergyman, whose name I
spare, seized the story with ayidity-wovs it
into his sermon-and invoked the vengeance
OF heaven on the murdereTs. But mark the
end Of it. The holy zeal of the auditory
had not time to cool, when, to cover the
preacher with confusion, q resurrection OF
the murdered crew took place. They re-
turned home, safe and sound, from the still.
lettos and daggers Of the blood-thifsty
French-and held out q strong memsnto to
the preacher against repetition Of such an
anti.chris;an procedure.
The practice OF preaching political ser.
mons is utterly improper, even when con-
gregstion are all united-all OF one senti-
ment, if such case ever occurred. But
when they are divided, as must necessarily
almost always happen, what view does it
present That portion of the congregation
differing from the preacher, are reduced to
the alternative of either absenting them
selves from divine worship, or sitting pa.

spoils to the North.

ate man for President who was a known

/. He is our candidate.
2. He has been selected.
8. He has no political record.
4. He is the candidate who will win.
5. He wears moustache.
6. He parts his hair in the middle.
7. He ran away with Jesse.
8. "Jesse" is a nice woman.
At the close Of the proceedings it was
announced that the Ere mont Glee Club
would favor the crowd with a.-song. They
had sung but one stanza--
"I shouldn't wondor, by thunder,
If Fremont and Dayton
Would send the whole Democratic party to Satan"
when the crowd was dispersed by a Free
fight occasioned by too free use OF Free
spirits.
1t is to bsregretted that owing to the stop
page Of a train Of cars there was not SO
large crowd as was expected, but our Re-
publican brethern in South Carolina may
be assured that if il were not for that fact and
the fact that an nauspiclous day was elect
cd, we would have had monster turnout
one that would have made the earth tremble.
