telligent, and they can easily see through
the aimsy veil that shield this huge error Of
the day, Republicanism. They viii scan
the platform and not hesitate moment to
pronounce against party that declares it
has no State policy-ons whose IDEAS are
so exalted that It cannot attend to the Or
dinary affairs Of life and the wants Of State,
but soars aloft to the realms Of philanthro-
~, there to make record collectively and
individually that will stand the severest
scrutiny beyond the unknown Aood that
breaks upon the shores Of time.
To the Democracy then the people will
turn with confidence. They know that
It may have made some false steps, that in.
dividual members may have brought reproach
upon its fair fame, but they know too that its
great heart beats responsive to generous
impulses, and that it has labored earnestly
and faithfully to bring about reforms in our
State and County governments, and has now
presented ticket composed Of honest and
trus men. Men who have been tried in the FIRE
and come out pure gold. It is ticket that
every man can support It it is ticket
that the na:sss will triumphantly. elect BY
. majority unprecedented IN the history Of
the State. It is ticket We point to with
pride; and ask every Democrat, Republican
and Know Nothing 10 the land to examine
the record Of each individual. They can
stand the scrutiny. Tho ring Of true metal
will be found in every one Of them.
No FvNos.--In nominating Mr.. stanly,
many Of the Republicans have hoped the
American party would unite upon him in op.
position to Col. Weller and the Democratic
ticket; and there are some 6shy Know.Noth
ings who are willing TO sacrifice principle and
be swallowed up in the dark question" for
the sake Of Office. But tho mass Of the
Americans seem 10th to being sold so cheap
ly. and declare they will stand by their old
issues, live or die, sink or swim. The Amer.
leans Of San Francisco. at their late conven.
ton to nominate delegates to their State
Convention, expressed their sentiments very
plainly upon the subject in the passage Of the
following resolution:
Resolved. That tho American Party Of San
Francisco city cannot affiliate with, and will
not endorse either the Democratic or Repuh-
lican tickets nominated by thoir respective
State Conventions.
That this is the correct course for the
Americans to pursue, if they believe they have
principles worth coutsnding for. must be ev.
dent to every man who has given the subject
thought. BY uniting upon 6tanly, the
Americans would ipdorss the ons.idea plat.
form upon which be stands. and lose their
inden,i,y as party by being ovsrshadowsd
by tho Republicans who will have nomina.
ted men for them to support whose political
creed is in direct antagonism to theirs. The
K. Ms. do not want to be swallowed up body
and brseches, and will therefore let fusion
alone.
They have had somo experience in that
way before. Instance the fate of large
portion of their party in Pennsylvania. in the
late Presidential contest. They fused for the
sake of the Offices (Which they did not get)
and melted away into the Republican mass,
and now every one of them is a wool.dyed
''woolie"
BY such experience the Americans Of Cal.
ifornia Gill profit and give fusion" a wide
berth. If they do not, their spitaph may b.
written 10 September in two words-"goue
in."
