Facts Tor Democrats.

We have asserted and we assert again. says the
Mobile Evening News, that the political parties
of the United States, known as Wings and Dem
ocrats, are both dsorganized. the members of each
arraying themselves under new organizations, the
one American and the other anti American. There
is no longer any distinctive features left Of the old
parties The principles of Democracy, true De-
mocraey, republican Democracy. are living, and
stand out in bold relief upon the platform of the
American party, and are eminently inculcated
and warmly cherished in the single doctrine
Americans shall rule America" -the American
people republican "A mercons. What Democrat
true to the principles Of republicahism, denies to
the American people the right to rule their coun-
try the right to select and elect their officers; the
right to say who shall be citizens and upon what
terms? What American unbound by the ties of
Office, power and party, will deny this simple plain
first principle of Democracy
But we have said there are no longer any dis
tinctive features of the old parties left and we can
prove it.
1t 10 fact that very large number of Demo-
Gratis, who are still in principal so, belong to the
American Party.
1t is fact that this anti American party Is re-
ceiving into its bosom, in close communion, every
and oil descriptions, and grades of politicians,
Wings Freesoilers, Bed Republican Germans,
Socialists, and every agency by which votes may
be obtained and power attained-Dare any De-
mocrst or anti American deny this! 1t is noto-
riously true of Alabama, and the contradiction il
made, involves either wilful blindness or gross ig.
norance.
It's fact that the snti- American Democrat.
| ofNew Orleans, nominated upon their ticket for
the November election, two old line Wigs as
their candidates for the State Senate. What
docs it prove? In the language of cotempora.
ry it "shows that the Democratic party as a par.
ty, is as dead as the Wing party, and that tho.
rough and entire change has taken place in The
organization of parties"

tits with no ordinary feelings of regret, that
We announce the fact that some of our Yazoo-
readers already know, that Mr.. Scott has deci-
ded that for him the path of duty is no longer
among us in the relation he has held to us for
the last few years, as Rector of the Episcopal
Church in this place. He has heretofore
given up his charge, but the earnest persuasons
Of his attached parishioners overcame his de-
determination. The bond of love and kind
ness which bound him to his parish has
grown stronger and stronger, and now, when
he is again about to sever that bond, there is
one universal expression Of regret--not only
from members of his Church, but from all
classes and denominations Of our citizens. For
ness and sorrow, he has been with all in some
relation that has endeared him to us. He has
baptised children, and he has with some of us
wept over our lost hopes, as none but one him
. self stricken by sore affection could do--for
death makesus all brothers and sisters in sor-
row. He isbonndto US all by many endea-ing
ties, he has married our young people and visit
ed the sick and afflicted, and been the kind
friend and neghbor Of all. During the Pc
Rod Of his residence here, his conduct has been
bameless as Christian minister and gentle
man. In whatever part Of his Divine masters
vineyard he may be called to labor, whether in
awder field OF usefulness, where his fine tai
cntswiil lead him to distinction, or whether in
more secluded sphere, I'VE wish him every
earthly good with the choicest blessings Of
Heaven; and in these sentiments, so feobly ex-
pressed, we are fully endorsed by the entire
community.

s@- The London Times, though no friend to
the United States, tells some strong truths in
relation to our country. Would to heaven the
following paragraph from late powerful edito-
rial article of that paper were less true than it
PROFESSIONALLY is:
America is great Alsa,ia, in uhich political
refugees and criminals g, ty of less honorable
offences find shelter and welcome. By the sin.
gularity of her law of naturalization, the man
who entered her territory as a refugee, may i'm
two or three years, aspire to the dignity of cit
izen or legislator. Were the English law
similar to that of the States M. Victor Hugo
might now be be contesting with Sir Charles
Napier the representation of Southwark, and
Citizen Pyat aspiring to become the colleages
of Hayter for the borough OF Wells. THUS it
comes to pass that Adventures ofevery descrp-
tion-French Socialists and Jacob ms, Italians,
Red Republicans, Hungariafis and Poles, driven
into fra tic hatred of all government BY Austri-
an or Russian tyranny--refugees fro n every
country of Europe, and adventures. pirates and
jilibusters from every country, in the world,
and last thaugh not least, our own United Irish
men-ali find themselves received into the gov
erning class, and treated as if they possessed
sympathy for the interests, and an honest wish
for the dignity and prosperity of the great Re-
public. But in the votes that they give, and in
the speeches that they deliver, and in the parties
they form, these men are really thinking not OF
the country they have adopted, but the land they
have left-not how to benefit their friends in
America, but how to avenge themselves on their
| enemies in America.

pa. The great principles on which the Amer
lean party is based, says the Albany Register,
have been recognized, rather than realized even
by many of its warmest advocates. That the
Union must be preserved-That Americans should
rule America-that our public schools should re-
main unsectarian-that the Bible shall not be
forced out of thcm-that the laity shall be poss-
essed of and control the temperatures of the
Churches-that foreigners shall be prepared for
the right of suffrage before exercising it, would
seem to be most reasonable and self-evideHt pro-
positions. That access to the ballnt-box should
be free to all voters-that our Legislative Halls
should be purified, corrupt and extortionate lob
by annihilated, alleged fraud and corruption ex-
amined into and exposed, would seem to be honest
and right. And yet there are those, even in the
American party, who sometimes advocate with
bated breath and faltering voice these great and
glorious principles But the American party rests
upon these principles and must stand or fall with
them.
Should the Union be dissolved, its stripes OBJ
liberated and its stars blotted out-should aliens
from the soil, the sworn supporters Of foreign,
political and religious despot assume the reins of
The Government AMI dictate its policy-should
our public schools become the conduits through
which the dogmas of q sect. instead Of the pure
streams of healthful knowledge, are to flow, then,
indeed, would the American party have fallen.
1.-THE Biblcis to be kicked with impunity through
our streets, ana burned with demoniac rejoicings
on the village green the ignorant and vicious
are to rush unimpcded from the packet hjp ~
the polls--if corruption IS to be unrebuke1 ex1oF
ton concealed, and fraud uncondemned, then in
deed viii the american party hdve fallen. Rut
until then, let no one doubt IS perrnanence. Il
may have seeming rekyocessions, but its steppings
are like those of some mighty giant, who recedes
only to gather increased momentum and might
for renewed conflict.
Ia She breast Of every true Patriot, in the boz
som of every true American, the Principles Of
Tie American party must find an open and com
genial home. When Washington shall be for
eotten.- when the last Free School and Prot
estant Church shall be destroyed this
glorious confederation shall lie, broken and
bleeding, under the iron hoof of civil war;
when the prayers Of theroood have ended, and
the hopes Of the PARROT ceased, then will Tie
American party Be extinguishod. Until then
