The Creed of the American Party

The civilizaticn--the nationality -thesinsti-
tutions--and the mission of the United States,
are signally peculiar, and, therefore, emine ntly
American. Mental light and independence,
constitutional union, national supremacy, sub
mission to law, homogeneous population, and
instructive patriotism, are all vital elements OF
American liberty, nationality and upward pro
gress Foreign immigration, foreign influence,
and sectional factions nourished by them, and
breeding demagogues by prostitution of the
elective franchise, have already corrupted our
nationality, degraded our councils,weakenedt the
bonds of Union, disturbed our country's peace,
and awakened apprehensions of insecurity and
progressive deterioration and infringement. To
rescue and restore American institutions, to
maintain American nationality, and to secure
American birth-rights, is the sole purpose of our
American party, composed of conservative. pa
triotic, Union-luving, native born citizens of
every section and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT sacrificing
patriots ho prefer their country to factious
name, and have noby resolved no longer ito
give up the party what was meant for mankind. ;
The paramount and ultimate object of our
American organization is to save and exalt the
Union.
We contend that American principles should
| mould American policy, and American mind
rule American destiny--that all sectional par
ties should be renounced, and all sectional agi-
| tations resisted = that Congress should never
agitatate the subject of domestic slave. in any
form or for any purpose that as the destiny Of
tn country depends on the mind Of the coun-
try, intelligence should rule, the ballot-box
should be purified, and foreign influence checked
that any allegiance, to any foreign power,
regal or pontiEcial, should be rebuked as the
most fatal canker Of the germ of American In-
dependence-that every citizen should be en-
couraged to exercise freely his own conscience,
nd that the popular mind should be enlght-
ened and the popular heart recti6ed by proper
and universal education. This is the essence
of the American creed, and, when methodlzed
into ten catcgories, il constitutes the Political
Decalogue OF the American party. What true
/ American head can disapprove, what pure Amer,
lean heart can revolt! Can those WHO e
/ On this platform be enemies of civil .
] lous iiberty!p Can either civil or r
erty rest secure on any other foundd

THE "CRUCIFIxIoN" SUPPRESSED are
rejoiced to have it in our power to announce the
withdrawal OF the impious spectacle of the
Cruciiixion from the Boards of the Broadway
Theatre. Rome" has capitulated thus for
once to public opinion, and mankind are given
everywhere to understand, once for all, we
trust, that the imported blasphemes of Popery
will never, be tolerated in Republican, Protes-
tant America. Mr. Keller's "Cruciixion'
came here with the Ponti6cial certificate that
it was all right; but the suppression of it, after
only three nights exhibition shows that the
American people think it is all wrong This
thing may do very we'll in Rome, in Madrid, or
in Paris, but it will never do in New York. Mr..
Keller having withdrawn his shocking profan-
ity from the stage of a New York Theatre, il
he is not above taking the advice of the New
| York Express, he will in the language oil

monstrosities, "pack up and go homes" for, be
sure, if the spectacle is too immoral for q me.
tropolitan audience, it will never be tolerated
or endured in the country. The moral sense o
the American people, it is clear, Notwithstanding
the unremittent infusion of European ideas ant
European vices, into our system, has not de-
generated to point that can contemplate with
competency. such wretched caricatures of the
Christian religion. Rome, with its "wnkine
/ Madonna" its "Holy Coat of Treves,' and it
multudinous impostures, of similar character
may give countenaAce of these Keller abomina
tons, but it is gratifying to have practical as
| surance that il will never be suffered here

which govern the conduct Of men in their ordinary
pursuits Nearly all social Improvements spring
from the reciprocal influence of condensed numbers
and diff used intelligence. What, then, will be the
state of society in country two centuries hence,
when three hundred and sixty millions of civilized
people are crowded into space comparatively so
narrow. History shows that wealth, power, science
and literature all follow in the train of numbers,
general intelligence, and freedom. The same causes
which transferred the sceptre of civilization and the
weight of influence from the banks of the Euphrates
and the Nile to Western Europe, must, in the
of no long period, carry them to the plains Of the
Mississippi and the Amazon.
Musing these prospects, what wonder if we
sometimes deem of small account the distant din
of Eastern and European policies.
