So For the "Spirit.,'
Mr.. EDIToR: Permit me through
your columns to make some suggestions
to the American party in regard to the
movements of the relative bound clique OF
Woodsfeld They called a meeting, but
what for? They say, for the purpose OF
making ticket in opposition to the pres
ent Democratic ticket. They appolnt-
ed a committee for that purpose, but
will just say now that no ticket can bind
the honor of the clique; for where there
is nothing to bind, nothing can be bound.
say to the American party, keep your
selves from being imposed upon by the
Abolition party. Don't you know that
they destroyed the nationality of the old
Whig party by intrigue and siander
/ And don't every observing man know
what they intend? 1t certainly must be
obvious to every man that they don't in
tend to act in good faith in any move they
make with the Americas party. 1t is
contrary to their nature, and more con-
trary to their practice. They would be-
tray their Maker for less than thirty pieces
of silver. Any man who supposes they
have any conscientious scruples does not
know them. They may put on sanctimo-
! nious airs, but they will never deceive me
again, and I think the Fillmore party OF
, Centre township will say the same thing.
4 cannot speak for the whole county, but
! can speak for everybody who is ac-
. quainted with this Woodsfeld relative
: bound wire-working Abolition. clique
t Only look at the man they have selected
e for president to carry out Free-Soil prin
$ ciples! Look at his former acts If yor
Q want guide to his future course. If Z
. man, or set of men, have always beer
? what they professed who can doubt thei
IS honesty? on the contrary if they hay
n always been deceitful who can have con
10 fidence in them? My word for it the MAJ
d who places confidence in such men viii! b
ID deceived They never act in good faith
a. Where is the Fillmore man who would nc
? as soon see James Buchanan succeed q
,r the Woolly horse candidate? What ca
tn we expect from either party? If the
Of stand the same to us there is no choic
ID but is it fact that they do stand tt
If same to US? I answer they do not. Or

of the Woolly- and the harmonic
