THE AMERICAN Party Norra-A SoEEY Con-
soIATION.-The editor of the Louisville Jo,srnnl
says that notwithstanding the reverses which
have fSlleu to the share OF the American party
In Kentucky and Tennessee in the recent cleo
tions, a careful observer of the signs in the poll
teal bor;zon can't help seeing the necessity for
strict preservation of the American orgauiza-
tion;" and then he looks to the position of the
american party in the North" as exceedingly,
encouraging Sorry consolation this we are con-
strained, with tears in our eyes, to say. We had
supposed that the vote Of New York State for
Mr.. Fillmore would be remembered even at
Louisville; but let that pass. A State Council of
the brethren is to be held, we believe, in Brook
Ign, on the 18th instant, and then we shall, per-
haps know whether the party in this State still
exists, is disbanding, or will continue to hold to-
gether at a dead loss to the subscribers who fur
Fish the sinews of war. Meantime, Brother Prem
tice will derive some curious instruction of the
drifts of the wind in this quarter Of the camp
from more careful reading of our Know No
thing organs Inquire of the Brookses.

E~orHAH VIGILANCE COMMITTEE SPAa-
,ss MEXICAN DisrvTH -Eog,and and France have
becomc since their alliance against Russia, peace
presevvers among the pat'oas Of E..copc. They
have undertaken 10 t.ctass to Turkey ia relation
TO her principslities ard internal government to
Denmark In RELATION to the Sound Dues, add to
the King OF Naples in reference to his treatment
of his unfortunate subjects Aud COW they have
interviewed with Spain to prevent her carrying
out her insane project against Mexico. In fine,
they have constituted themselves Continental
Vigilance Committee, and will not allow other ma
tons of Europe to indulge in war or revolution
or ltra-despotism unless ii jumps with the policy
Of France AID Lng,snd to permit these diversions
Their practical Intervention ia the quarrel be-
tween Spain aud Mexico shows with what high
hand the governments OF Victoria and Napoleon
are resolved to perform their joint roSe as peace
presGvers So long as Spain confined herself to
clustering and bravadoing and mock prepsra-
tons for an invasion Of Mexico by land aud sea
forces, the representatives Of the English aud
Freuch government at Madrid contented them
selves with merely inslnuating the dangers that
would attend any real act Of war between Spain
and her old vice royalty. They did not believe
that the Spanish government was in earnest.
They could not believe that it would lie guilty Of
any such folly and madness. And when the
Mexican Envoy, Lafragua, was sent to Madrid
Ia open negotiations with the mother country,
England end France favored bis mission, and en-
deayored to make it successful by notifying the
Spanish government that In case il persisted in
its insane project Of war, they would not guar
antee the safety Of Cuba, or the other Spanish
islands of the Antilles. Bat now we find. by our
Madrid correspondence, that when that go
vc,ment proved itself recklessly obstinate,
as IL has Just done, and would not listen
to reason and common sense. England aud France
stepped In, forbade breach Of the peace of ua-
tons, and transferred the negotiations from Ma.
drid to Paris. We may, therefore, expect u
speedy and fiual settlement Of the Spanish -Mex-
can dispute.
Thus We have the singular spectacle presented
Of the two most powerful nations Of Europe con-
shutting themselves Continental Vigilance Com
mittee. OF course, while enforcing good con.
duct on the par, Of others, the Vigilance Commit
tee, like others that VIC have kno vn h American
history, may violate AL laws and Get al defiance
all principles Of fair play. We expect, however,
that when they do the other nations of Europe,
thus curbed in the exercise of their sovereign
rights, will re-assert their Independence, return
10 their normal condition as co-eaual States. and
put an end to the existence of this novel orgsn
zatiou. Vigilance Committees are sometimes nc
cesssry, but always dangerous.

but from partisan and factioulst spirit. Iostead
of being confined 10 the one sole object for which
the movement was inausurated, they have used
the movement TO forward the views Of political
demagoeues. In fact, it must be confessed that
those Who have taken lead In this repeal move
ment are not men the best calculated to give re-
probability ard strength TO It, They are, for the
most part, the email lights Of Tammauy Hall; aud
we oil know that ii is not with such defenders
that our liberties arc to be won back. We are
afraid, therefore, that unless there be a speedy
awakening Of those influential citizens of the
metropolis md State who are now apathetlc in
this cause. and TO whom our great city looks ia
this her hour of oppression, she viii have to con-
tiuue for years more disranchissd, disorganised
and diseraced municipality. Must it be 20, or
will we have the satiefac Ion of seeing, even at
the eleventh hour, the fame of our old city re-
deemed and her rights won back from the grasp
Of ceepoiling Lsgisiaturef Let US hope that
We will have this CONSOLATION.

this the title was transferred to another party.
But Tho fraudulent nature of the transaction
having BY that time become known, al action
was brought By taxpaycr-Judge Roosevelt's
hrother-to vaoste the SALE The Court decided
that the sale Was null and void, and ordered the
city to restore the $40 900 paid on account, with
interest, and to retake possession of the property
Since then the matter has been allowed to continue
in an unsettled condition; and now the claimants
of the property require the city TO pay them
$500, 900 for its restitution. A modest request
truly; but will 1t be believed when we state that
q committee of the Board Of Aldermen has &c
tually reported in favor of that outrageous dc.

These are come of the evidences of honesty
ard responsibility afforded BY New York Com

Of rough ard tumble fight on the floor Of the

GENyRu Saw iiocsToS Hon AND Day
About the most conspicuous Of all the wrecks
stranded among the shoals and breakers of Know
Nothingism, IL that stalwart man of war, General
sam Houston. Like Willard Fillmore. General
Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs, Andrew j, Donel-
son, John j. Crittendeu, John N. Bolts, Commo.
dorc Stockton, George Law aud whole army Of
others desperate politicians Of both the old wing
and democratic parties, Old San Jacnto was de-
luded and caught by the first Astonishing Hare up
of the mysterious and terrible party OF the dark
lantern. But the dark lantern WIS a will-o-
wisp. and has led ia hopeful followers on their
route 10 the spoils and plumber Of the govern
ment
Away TO the lake Of ,he Dsmsl swamp,
quagmire as the Bunalo ex-Prcsident Of the
United States. But the Know Nothing move
ment in thus killing off its extensive catalogue OF
Presidential aspirants aud political hucksters
has done some service 10 the country. We may
regret the fate Of General Houston but he must
submit to the fortune Of war. His late crushing
defeat as the Know Nothing candidate for Co
vernon of Texas, removes a prominent figure
from the political arena, but IL adds another 10
that interesting retired list of distinguished poll
ticians restored 10 the sweets Of private life.
------------------
THE INDIANS % ruE wEsr.--we publish in
another column communication from the Iowa
Sioux agency 10 the department al Washington,
on the late Indian troubles; Il will be read with
interest, as another link in the chain of the his
tory Of our dealings with the red men. The late
Indian attack. the capture of Mrs. Marble aud
Mise Gardiner, their rescue, The pursuit of the
Indians ard the merited punishment of the ravisl-
ers, have already been laid before the public.
We trust that whenever Indians the Sioux
or any other tribe-shall carry of white women.
matreat and outrage them, and refuse 10 surren-
der them without ransom they may be punish.
