Profession and prnctirn.

The present scll-styled American party profess
es to have entered upon the great mission Of Ie-
nnaki%; and si!enclng the slavery agitation pour
ing oil upon the troubled sea OF sectional hOstil
ity, and - intcrposinc for the purpose ot gi"irc'
pcacc to the Union" Whilst making this hyp-
ocritical profession at Philadelphia in June last.
this very party was every where at the North
coalesriug with the sectional agitutorS, beating
down the national democracy that have always
stood arrayed sgainst those sectional agitators,
and with their unhNy fusion with trcc-soiism and
abolitism, concentrated and refined in hlackre
publicanism, were sending to Congress men
pledged to the repeal Of the Ncbraskn-Kanzas
act the repeal of the fugitive slave law, the aho-
itiou of slavery in the District of Columbia, and
the admission of no future state into the Union
with constitution toerating slavery. So that
this party that was to stop the " sectional hog
tiity and - give peace to the Union " has in
creased that sectional hostility tenf6ld and m
ppriled the very existence of the Union Out Of
all the REPRESENTATIVES. which it So largely con
tributed to send to Congress from tho northern
stltes, hut three or four have dared 70 art with
the 10Th section OF southern men Of tho parity
All the Others are arrant hlark-repuhlican Banks
men. This fact demonstrates the truth that the
Philadelphia platform WAS tran to catch south
ern gudseons; that the principles there enunci
ated We're deceitfully made for the purpose Of de-
ccyng and hetrnying the southern people. Now
that the cheat las been expos,d, the unhlushing
fraud unveiled, it is Il mystery Go us how patriot
ic southern men can longer reconcile it with Il
ssnse Of hoa0y to associate with lie parties TO
such shameless swindc Ii any man doubts

hatas in the House Of Representatives during the
