THE AMERICAN PARTY GOVERNOR OF Ken
rucKY GIVES Up THE CAUSE.-THE annual mes
sages of the Governors of the different States
come in upon US SO thick and fast that, with
the pressure upon our columns Of other and
more immediate or more generally important
matters we have scarcely time or space to
notice them all. We cannot omit however the
following significant closing paragraph of the
first message of Governor Moreheai, of Ken
lucky, elected as the candidate of the Ameri-
can party, last August Here it is:--
The existence of geographical parties is the hrst
great step to dsunon. To prevent that WAS willing 70
unite WIN party WHOSE principles wee sassn ~
to the name OF American The grea. and leading and
fundamental article of the political craed OF this oryani
and every other principle It held but subsidiary
this The perpetuiy Of this mighty republic, with all Its
follow, its end and aim. The fell spirit cf
anaticism which has produced schisms in other parties
fate though impending ia not yet Gomez aud trust TIA.
the time ia far very FAR slant when the section to
anguish to calculate the value Of the tnion. r, avert
crisis SO dreadful, cannot doubt that the national
men Of al parties howeysr diseordans may be their
firm determined and patriotic ion save tho country
from the ruthless asp of the enemies Of the Union.
What does he mean when he says that
" the same fell spirit OF fanaticism whish has
produced schisms in other parties has dolc its
work here Tin the American party also? He
doubtless refers to the separ alton which has
taken place in Congress between the North
ern free soil Know Nothings and the twelfth
section or national members Of the party.
But then he talks Of " the national men OF
all parties, however discordant may be
their opinions on other points," uniting
to put down the anti-slavcry agita-
tors. This looks very much like an open
proposition to the Southern Know Nothings,
or South Americans" as they have been
lately christened at Washington, to drop their
own organization and to fuse with the demo-
cracy, in order to crush the many headed abo-
ltion hydra Of the North.
Very well. We threw out some general hints
the other day Of the formidable task dev olving
upon the February National Council Of the
American party at Philadelphia, before they
can count upon entering into the Presidential
race with any prospect Of success; and this mes
sage Of Governor Morchead goes far to confirm
the impression that this February Council,
should it fail to reform, re-organize and con-
solidate the national Americans upon solid
constitutional basis, will only have met to pre-
cipitate its dissolution among the floating ma
terials of the impending campaign. The
wisest counsels and the most comprehensive re-
forms in the American organization will be
needed at Philadelphia to avert this humiliat
ing collapse. Let the delegates concerned
look at the state of things at Washington, and
act boldly, wisely and decisively, or prepare
for the worst.

great Power like Russia will be satisfied, like
whipped cur, to swallow the leak and to ac-
cept any conditions that may be imposed on
her, is to assume that which is contrary not
only to all her political antecedents, but to
human nature itself. If it would be poltroon-
~ in an individual to cave in after successful
ly mauling his assailants, how much more SO
would it for nation Of her colossal strength
to yield to force which has not as yet been
shown to be superior to hers! Should such an
humiliation be reserved for her it will only be
brought about by the weakness and womanly
fears of her rulers Its consequences we need
not soy will be to arrest forever her political
progress, and to reduce her to the rank Of
third rate Power.

Of the Twenty ward, the election in which is
contested by Mr.. Nicholas Seagrist and Mr.. Drake,
the Board decided to refer the matter to special
committee of three. All the clerks of the Board
were reelected, with the exception of Mr.. Cham
bers, who occupied the position of Deputy Clerk for
the last eight or nine years, and who was removed
solely on party grounds. The Mayors Message was
received and the nominations of some of the heads

California and the intermediate places, to who-
ever wishes to purchase them, and in all things
their duty as common carriers will be performed;
also protesting against the seizure and detention of
the vessels. Mr.. Mckeon replies that he viii do his
duty, and winds up with a significant allusion to
General Jackson and the arrogance Of moneyed mo
nopolies.

IHE GLORIOUS EIGHTH AND THE lNTERRuIED
DROCRAcY.-The glorious Eighth Of January
having been adopted as the particular saint
day Of the democratic party, it is not surpris-
ing that upon the threshold of Presidential
campaign they should extensively devote the
day to conventions and reunions throughout
the country. We published the other day an
eNended account of these movements for the
present occasion, SO that brief recapitulation
will suffice for the present.
First, then, the National Democratic Exccu-
tive Committee meet in Washington to-day to
appoint the important day for the meeting Of
the Cincinnati Democratic National Prcsden-
tial Convention.
Secondly, the democracy hold State con-
yentions to-day in the following places, in d.
rect reference to the said national convention,
to wit: Nashville, Tenn; Mont gomery, Ala;
indianapolis, Ind; Iowa City, Iowa; Frankfort,
KY; Jackson, Miss; and Columbus, Ohio. II
is alleged that one reason which influenced
Mr.. Pierce to send up his message to Congress
in advance Of the election of a Speaker, was
yentions and remind them that the incumbent
Of the White House is the proper man for the
succession; but we are fearful that the rejcc-
tion Of our present Executive is a forgone
conclusion, and that the message will do no
good tow ards a reversal Of this very general
understanding.
Thirdly, the hards Of this city have dinner
this evening OF the Metropolitan Hotel, and the
softs grand pow-wow in Tammany Hall, with
view Of "drawing closer together the bonds
Of democratic brotherhood" movement soro.
ly needed along the whole line from Tammany
Hall to Dunkirk. In Springfield, Mass, the
brethren who are united are to have grand
ball-an attractive thing step in advance OF
both dinners and pow-wows, which are rough
concerns, where pipe-laying politicians and
bruisers become casc-hardcned and arc apt 10
be profane and pugilistic from the absence
Of the ladies.
Fourthly, the American National Club Of
this city, resolved to have a share in the glo-
rious Eighth, give their first grand festival at
the Academy Of Music tonight; and snulta-
reously, the Neptune Club give their annual
Shrewsbury hop" at Niblo's Saloon.
Finally, the jackson Association at Wash
inton, are TO have grand meeting this eyon-
ing, at which all the great democratic guns
from both houses OF Congress are expected to
be present. Wemight extend the chapter; but
surely all this viii be glory enough for one
day. Ever green be the memory OF the immor-
tai Old Hickory. OBJ That we had Young
Hickory capable Of walking in his footsteps

Of the same view. We have all along con-
tended as he does now-that the Mayor should
occupy the same position in the municipal that
the President does in the federal government:
that he should appoint-and remove at will
all heads of departments, and subordinate
municipal officers sending all appointments to
the Aldermen for confirmation; that his power,
in short, so far as the order, safety, and the
police OF the city are concerned, should be
despotic under the law and that he should be
held to q rigorous account-personally and
