American Candidates for Governor OF
aat Missouri.
: The St Louis Intelligencer mentions the
names Of Judge Gamble, Henry I, Blow, Gem
eral N, Ranney, Hon. L. M. Kennett, Col Rol-
lins, Col Ewing, Col. Doniphan, Col. Ander-
son, and Gen. Rains, as among those named
by their respective friends for the Office of
Governor of Missouri OF the above-named
gentlemen, either one is eminently qualified for
that important post, and it should be amatter
of congratulation with the American party that
II contains SO many gentlemen Of superior tai
ents from whom to make the selection. Either
one Of these gentlemen will lead the American
party to victory in Missouri
Speaking Of our prospects in Missouri, when
we look back to the time that we, with a few
choice spirits of ST. Louis, commenced thework
Of unfolding the evils flowing from indiscrimi-
nate immigration into the country, now some
fourteen years ago, when we call to mind the
labors and trials through which we and they
passed, in originating and establishing an
American party in that city, even then cursed
both with alienism and demagoguism beyond
any other city in the Union, and now overrun
and oppressed by these evils, when we be-
hold the onward march to supremacy of those
principles throughout the nation, for which we
then fought, and foresee their certain triumph
over power, partyism and prejudice combined,
We can do no less than rejoice that in view of
the consummation Of our early hopes, we have
spent our time, our toll, and our means, with
no other reward than the consciousness that
we have done our dutya M y
We may have regrets, mingled with our re-
joicings, when we reflect that we have passed
the time of middle life, and have failed to pro-
vide for the necessities of age whilst serving
in this glorious cause, but those regrets will
be few and faint in the realization of victory
over the combined hosts Of foreignism, derna-
goguism, and Romanism! As zoe feel on this
subject, we doubt not others feel, who are gov
crned by patriotic impulses as Americans y
and with such sentiments pcrvading the Amer
ican party, we can know no such word NJ
TaiL--no such result ~ dstSGt
The time is auspicious for the American par
ty--the circumstances surrounding it are fa-
yorable to its success. The popular mind is
aroused to sense of the dangers which threat
en- our institutions, as well from the machina-
tons of Jesuitism, as from the mobocratic or
anarchical tendencies of unchecked immigra-
ton. Our penitentiaries are crowded with for
eign convicts, and our asylums overflow with
foreign pAnpers. An administration is now in
power whose policy tends to increase those
evils and it is therefore weak in the affections
and confidence Of the country
Opposition to American doctrines and sup
port Of this administration are identical, and
hence tho popularity of our conservative doc
trines and the weakness of pusillanimous
Rxecuive unite in giving the American party
IN advantage which will be felt everywhere,
and should be improved wherever felt 1t will
therefore, be the fault Of the American party
II II fails to make such exertion As will insure
its triumph. Success is within its rsach--and
success must be achievedi Onward friends |

True Words from an OId-Line Democrat.
General Nathan Ranney, Of St Louis, Mis-
souri, An old-line Democrat of the Hard Shell
stamp, Joined the American party some months
ago, and has done good servi,e in the cause.
Assailed by other Democrats, who have less
love OF country, and more devotion to party,
than himself he defends his position in the
following letter to the St Louis Examiner,
which we commend to the perusal Of all Dem
ocrats who have not sold themselves either to
the Pope or to the, present administration. II
viii be seen that General Ranney's letter was
vrittm before the late election in ST. Louis, at
which the fusionists triumphed and that no
predicted this calamity, and assigned the rea-
sons Why It would happen This letter furnishes
Socd for renection, and wa would fain hope
thAe ~ nght-minded Democrats will read il,
and rn6sct upon it:
aa 81. LOUIS, March ~, 1850.
