Americanism.

We publish in our present issue an eloquent
and patriotic speech delivered by the Hon. .Ja-
cob Broom, of Pennsylvania, at the Ratification
Meeting held at Philadelphia on the 18th inst,
| which will be read with pleasure and profit by
all Americans. 1t is our purpose to present,
before long, in regular succession, the speeches
of prominent members Of the American party,
and such other important political documents
as will be useful in the campaign, now about
to commence; to do which, will require much
more space than is usually devoted to new
matter in our daily, and an increase of me-
chanical force in our Office. The speech of
Mr. Broom may be regarded as the first of the
series which the Daily Organ will contain,
and which will be transferred to the Weekly,
or published in pamphlet form, at printers
regular prices, for distribution during the can
| vass. When our arrangements are completed,
we hope to be able to present, also, a largely
increased quantity Of editorial matter suited
| to advance the success of the principles of the
American party and of its nominees.
| For the first time in the history of these
States, party has presented candidates for
| the highest offices in the gift of the people,
basing their claims upon their pure american
and conservative principles In times past
rival parties have been arrayed against each
other upon questions of mere policy and ex-
| pediency, temporary in their character and
differing chiefly in their modes of reaching the
same end, to wit, the advancement of our ma
tional honor and happiness Political rivalry
and high party excitement led each of the
late parties for the sake of temporary success,
| to pander to an influence which has now SO
rapidly increased as not only to hold the bal
ance of power between these parties, but to
the not distant future. To prevent this i'm
pending catastrophe, the patriotic men Of these
rival parties, have united in the formation of
neo party, appropriately designated the
American party" whose chief end and aim
is, to rescue our country from the domination
of foreign influence, and to save it from the
ultimate grasp or Komanism and despotism.
This new party is opposed, as well by those
who are yet blind to the progress of the
evils which result from an indiscriminate Euro
pean immigration the accumulation of
the refuse of all other nations--from the ofal
of prisons, penitentiaries and hospitals, as by
those, who nOD holding political power, place
and emoument, cling to their positions with
tenacity equalled only by their contempt of all
the obligations which freemen owe to free in
stitutions. Thus opposed by the blind and un-
thinking-by the hundreds of thousands of
foreign immigrants-and by the whole power Of
the Federal government, in all the ramifications
of infuence-the American party owe it to
themselves-sto their country--to posterity-
to the high purposes which unite them--to
their own safety and preservation--to COM
menee now the work of enlightening the
uninformed-of disseminating their principles
broadcast over the land-of portraying the
evils which threaten the destruction of liberty
and the Union--of exposing the hypocrisy of
those in power, and Of convincing our country
men, that, upon the success of our party, the
preservation Of Republican government de-
pends.
Will the members of the American party
noW commence this work Will they unite
| now for the purposes Of their mission? Will
they wait until the armies of the enemy have
been enrolled, mustered differed, disciplined
and marched into the feldR They are now
without commander r-in-chief-without gene
rails of divisions-without appointments to
brigades and regiments-they are scattered
and thousands and tens of thousands of their
crank and fle'' would enlist under the Amer
lean flag, if our recruiting officers would go
upon duty Now then, is the time for action,
prompt and immediate action. Will our Anne
rican friends in Congress take the initiativeP
viii they prepare for storming Of the strong
holds of the enemy, before they are more tho
roughly forti6ed2
Referring to Mr.. Broom's speech, we may be
permitted to state that this gentleman was one
among the earliest advocates of American doc
his influence in the formation of the Native
American party in Philadelphia, to counteract
the designs and efforts of foreignism in that
noble and truly Amcricap city. From that
time to the present he has been always true
and always active in the American cause. A
Democrat of the school Of jefferson and Jack
son, he has nevertheless dared to Jope country
better than party, and, at any and every per-
sonal sacrifice, to maintain and enforce the
convictions of his honest Judgment The
speeches Of such man are entitled to conf
dence, and will doubtless meet with an extern
sive circulation.
