American Movements.

The American organization is everywhere
preparing for the approaching contest, and
indications are that they will be successful.
The American flag has never yet trailed in
the dust, and American patriotism win still
carry it victorious, over foreign or domestic
foes. The people are arousing, and dema-
gogaes may well tremble, create false issues,
and make hypocritical and sympathetic ap'
peals, for they know the star Of their hopes
is obscured, and will soon be blotted out.
Even in old Howard, the Americans
have strong hold, and are daily gaining
ground. We have letter before us now,
from friend, advising us Of a re-organiza-
ton of the Council at Bunker Hill, in Bonnie
Femme Township; at the close Of the first
meeting, the membership amounted to thir-
ty.fve. Another meeting was TO be held
last Saturday evening, and we doubt not by
the close of the week, the organization will
number seventy-fve persons who ignore old
party associations, and strike hands for the
new order of things. Success to Bonnie
Femme and her patriotic citizen.
The organization is doing prosperous
business at Fayette, and at Roanoke, and a
reorganization will soon be effected in
Franklin, Boon's Lick, and in Glasgow
Old Howard will be right side up,despite the
efforts Of seceeders and boilers, whose ra-
wings only excite the mirth of the faithful.
We have the following communication
from friend in Boone, which will be read
with interest.

composed of both wings and democrats, or
rather of men hitherto belonging TO those
