Mr.. Banks's Position Still Further
Defined.

DenmeO.
The Boston Bee Of Saturday contains letter
from New York correspondent, who is evident
ly well posted up as to the views Of the managers
of the American party in this State, and also in
regard to the political status of Mr.. Banks 1t
says Of the nomination made last week by the
Bee, Of Mr. Banks for Governor:
"Anericans everywhere are jubilant over it, as
the surest pledge that could in this crsls De CIV

They verv eenerally look upon Mr. Banks in the
political light in which he was represented by
your correspondent in a letter from Washington,
published about the middle of December last,
and hence their more than ordinary desire o have
him accept and accepted The letter referred to
confined the following, which take leave here
TO produce;
Though ranked acith the Republicans, Mr..
Banks is simply an anti Nebraska american, and
is. therefore, national man-nationaL as Clay,
Webster, and all the statesl en- of our land, were
national, down to the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise in 1854 national, in regarding the
unity If government, which makes one the peo-
pie Of the United States, the main pillar in the
edihee Of our country IS real ndependence-as the
palladium of our political safety and prosperity !;
national, in short, as devoted to the Union, un
der the Constitution. He looks not upon the ul-
terror, radical and notwithstanding purposes
of our naked out and out Republicans, with any
degree Of favor His AneYieantsm GbideS aoith

and influence to save from that extremism. In
this respect, Mr.. Banks is an eminent type of

We submit the above portraiture of Mr.. Banks
to the consideration of our Republican friends,
and ask them, in all candor, how they like the
prospect Of aiding in the election of man who is
claimed to be member in full standing of party
as hostile to the Republican as the party of
James Buchanan, and whose election is to be
'"the triumphant re-assertion of Americanism by
the Amercanized masses of Massachusetts,"
"Tboagh ranked 10Th Republicans, Mr.. Banks is

Banks's position is well defined in the above
and we presume it is. or the Bee would not copy
it so approving iy--then Mr. Banks is not fit

Massachusetts,, thank Heaven, has pretty
much done with the national men ofthe Clay and
Webster stamp, and her people have no especial
desire at present to restore the breed.
And Mr.. Banks, says this correspondent, sis
an eminent type OF CLASS OF AMERICANS Gp-
pearing just nowsn the ranks of Republicanism,
but who 1iH, IN due time, come out from among
them-bs separate, &c. Well, we rather suspect
that this correspondent speaks the truth. Mr..
Banks is only "appearing just nosO, but "will
in due time, come out from" the ranks of lie.
publieanism. The "due time here spoken of is
supposed to mean, when he can no longer ad.
vance his schemes of personal aggrandizement
and worldly ambition, by appearing" to be what
he is not, and riding two horses, he always has
done, almost since his first entrance into political
life.
We shall calmly await further developments Of
the plots and counter-plots of the schemeIs, to
sell out the Republican party again to the Know
Nothings but until Gov. Gardner comes to be
considered parsonage of undoub'ed veracity,
and the Christian world unanimously decides that
Judas Iscariot was the most honest of the disci.
Piles, we shall not believe .hat the Republican
party of Massachusetts, will nominate N. p.
Banks for Governor, upon the Springfield plat
form.
