went into union with the republican party, for
the sake Of carrying out great principle, it did
so in good faith, but that union had limitation.
That limitation expired on the 4th of November
and the future course of the Americans can IN
no wise be subject the censorship or approval of
the republicans until another union IS deteimin-
ed on"
Yet there are those who affect to find fault
with the Republicans for having the impudence
to organize as separate party, without asking
leave of Gov Gardner or his hunkies so to do
We think it will now be universally conceded
that there is a necessity pressing upon the mem
bers of the Republican party to keep itself utter
ly and entirely alooi from the American or any
other antagonistic organization, and reorgauize
anew on its own basis of principles, that of OPP
position to the extension of slavery, without
mixing itself up in any degree with any other
issue.
Here it is announced from the head quarters of
Gardnerism, that whatever of temporary union
was effected for specific purposes in September
last, between the Republicans and Americans,
came to close on the dav of election. We trust
this matter viii be distinctly understood all
around.
The kind Of a'aion which the Gardner organs
and leaders favor, we'll indicated in the follow
ing extract from the Gloucester Telegraph and
Ne'os, which the Bee copies with approval;
"Our object al this present time is to urge
the reunion OF the friends of the American
principles upon one common basis. The
American question will yet be the qtestion OF
the day, and it must be met. There is no
getting away from it. Attempts are being
made to keep up the organization which sup
s.1A I.
the candidate for President in 1860. But
it is useless as well as visionary to attempt
such thing. The question OF slavery in the
northwest will be settled long before that
time, and the attempt to make Kanzas slave
territory wall be abandoned. Inc South knows
that 1t IS impossible to prevent lis becuming
free territory. aud therefore its attention will
| be turned IN another direction.
| The annexation or Cuba, Nicaragua, and
| portions of Mexico. are 10 be the leading
points Of the incoming administration, and
| opposition to them must be the watchwords
! OF the people. Aud it IS only through the
! American party that they can be successfully
! opposed. On those questions the American
party can be united throughout the Union-on
aquestion OF slavery it can only be made a
sectional party. Under these circumstances
ii therefore behooves the friends of American
principles to throw aside their petty diiieren-
ces OF opinion in questions that are past, and
become united oil one solid phalanx. Give
out to the people plain, simple platform
one that will command the respect and con-
sideration Of the masses, and their future tri-
unph will be sure and effective. We trust
that at the next meeting OF our State Council
efforts will be made to bring about this desir-
able purpose"
The future codfse of these Gardner Americans,
is portrayed in still more explicit terms in the
following extract from the American Organ at
Washington, Fillmore pro-slavery sheet, and
one of the bitterest and most slanderous oppo-
nents Of Col. Fremont in the late election,
which the Bee also copies and endorses, as an
index 10 tbe.new union which is about to be form
ed:
The disintegraion of the present sham
Democratic party is not two years distant
Before that time rolls around, the treachery of
that party towards the South will be as po-
tent as the light of heaven. A fusion of the
enemies of conservatism in the North and
West will succeed that party, and union of
the friends of the constitution and Of conser-
vatism throughout the country, must be form

to crush it.

-rr~-i-;-.el d it must be met by the
American party, as it becomes Americans to
meet and resist the approach of the combined
elements OF Foreignism, Romanism, and
Demagogueism. The whole South will en-
brace Americanism. Its duty, its interest, lis
safety demand it. There are in the North
ern, Middle and Western States, thousands
and tens OF thousands of men, also, who love
the Union and who will resist its enemies
'to the DEATH The American population
OF the North possesses American sentiments,
and, freed from the influence OF anti slavery
Ism, by the adjustment of the Territorial
questions, they will unite in opposition to
those elements OF destruction to which we
nave referred. 10 this end, let Americans
bend all their energies, in the South, in the
North, and in the Vest
That is, t is proposed to make the American
party, in future, the party OF the South and to
have It take the place of the democratic party as
the guardian of Slavery. And to this, the Bee
says, amen! And all the lesser organs of Gard
nerism will soon be found echoing this counsel
But the masses who lately followed them, will
leave them and join the hosts of freedom in the
RepublicanIanks.
